Friday Morning Weigh Ins! - 15th August 08

[lellow 1,713]

This week has been a slow weight loss week for me! I have been exercising and still eating far less than I used to, but only have lost a little. My DH reckons my body is levelling out and there was no way I could have sustained a continued weight loss of 3+ kgs a week, so am not feeling too badly about it.

AND a loss is a loss is a loss, right?

So here goes:

Weight loss this week: 0.6 kgs (about 1.3lbs)

Exercise: 45 min bike ride

2 X 1 hour walks

20 mins on the stationary exercise bike

Good on you for losing again.

No weight loss for me this week, damn eating alot less moving around alot, been back at work, didnt even eat on weds, only had a cup of Soup.

Bit dissapointed in myself, but hopefully next week will be a better one

For sure a loss is a loss!! Your body will go through these stages of leveling out and I think it is healthier for you to not lost more than 1.5kgs per week anyway!!

And Fee I know it is fustrating not to lose but don't beat yourself up!! You'll get there!

As for me, having started the pre op last Saturday, I have lost a LOT more than I thought I would;

Weight loss this week: 4.2 kgs (about 9.24lbs)

Exercise: concreting

other exercise....does watching the olympics count?? :biggrin:

Oh wow looks like those of us who were banded around the 1st are slowing down a little, but that's okay! We have many fills to get through before finding the 'sweet spot' and it looks like after losing quite a lot of weight fast in those first few weeks, that our bodies are acclimatising in this third week onwards.

I started on solids today too and had a tiny piece of grilled fish and three scallops for lunch - YUMMO! AND it filled me right up so I didn't even have dinner!

WTG Ro and liquidbluegal on great weight loss! You two are blazing through it!

Congrats to all! Bluegal, lellow, Ro and Accountess keep on rockin! Fee, I'm with you as "even" on the week. I'm actually quite proud of myself for not gaining, since I am still on my Farewell Tour. I guess slapping a shake in here and there has helped to minimize the damage

Keep a positive attitude, and love your flaws to death!

Fee you might not be getting in enough calories so your body is holding on to what it can.....one cup of Soup of a whole day is not good for! You should be getting in at least 800 calories a day. My doctor say 800 - 1000. Keep your head up and don't be dissapointed, you'll be down next week!

Well I'm so happy to say that I lost all the Water weight I gained during surgery...PLUS 6LBS! (10 lbs if you count the Water weight):biggrin: I have five more lbs to go and I will have lost all the weight I gained during Christmas up to now.

Wow Claudine...You go girl with all the walking you've done this week!!!

BTW-Congrats to everyone for a job well done! And for those who didn't lose what they wanted....It's going to come off...1 to 2 lbs a week is a healthy way to lose weight and keep it off! And remember 2 x 52 weeks =104 lbs in one year!:biggrin:

Yeah! To everybody that was down this week! Keep up the good work to those that weren't, it will happen! I can imagine that we all will start to slow down as we get back to eating again!

This week:

8/15/08: 237 (down 6lbs)

Walking: 5x @25min

Mowing - more then I care to count!
