Morning Naked Weigh In - Week 29

TOM came to visit this month, so I wasn't expecting much of a loss..... and didn't get one.

Loss for the week: .2 lbs

Total loss so far: 65.8 lbs

MORNING NAKED WEIGH IN: WEEK 26

Down 1.6 pounds this week.
Total loss so far: 64.6 pounds!

Morning Naked Weigh In: Week 23

Not a big loss this week, but still a loss:  -1.8 lbs.  I still haven't made it back into the gym, and until I do, I'm just not going to see any big numbers.  I was doing great for a while, but it seems once I stopped, it has been so hard to find that drive again.   So much has been going on lately... life is very hectic right now, but my gym is open 24/7 so there really is no excuse.  I know what needs to be done.  I just need to do it.

Why Gastric Bypass

The decision to have Gastric Bypass wasn’t an easy one.

Years ago when I first considered Weight Loss Surgery,

I didn’t even want to consider Gastric Bypass, 

it was too invasive, too drastic.

I went to a Lap Band Seminar, 

and the doctor that hosted the seminar

(and ultimately performed my Lap Band procedure)

basically bashed the Gastric Bypass, 

pointing out all the negatives.

And at that time, it was not done by laparoscopy.

You were cut wide open to perform the operation.

And I admit, I didn’t take the time to research

 the procedure on my own.

After sitting through the lap band seminar

 and hearing how GREAT and SUCCESSFUL the Lap Band was, 

 It was a done deal.

But obviously, the procedure didn’t work for me...

Daily Inspiration -

I am SORE today from my

workout yesterday....

and I guarantee I will

be even more sore tomorrow

since I worked out again today.

I did the same workout that

I posted yesterday. 

Although it hurts to walk,

go down the stairs, or even

sit on the toilet.

It is a good pain....

Because I know that

means what I am doing

is working.

And THAT makes it

WORTH IT!

You can see the workout HERE 

that I posted yesterday

and try it for yourself. :)

New Year Resolution...

Day 1 Complete....

Day 1 is complete.

Aside from a couple of hiccups,

it was a great day!

Hiccup 1: TOM. enough said.

                  Hiccup 2:  I ate my Lean and Green late.

      I like to get it in early, but it was

              after 8:00 before I finally got to eat it.

             Hiccup 3: I did not get all my water in.

Week 31 Weigh In -

I lost 1.4 pounds last week
finally hitting my goal of 

getting UNDER 200!! 

Woohoo!!!!

My next  two "big" goals? 

1. Weigh less than my husband.

2. Lose 100 pounds.

I'm getting close to both!

ONEderland!!!

I had set myself a goal of 

reaching 199 by August 1st.

Yesterday was my official 

weigh day

and I was at 200.2

I didn't think I would hit my goal

but I jumped on the scale this 

morning and I was at 

199.0!!!!!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!

Woohoo!!!

This is going to be a 

GREAT DAY!!!

Week 30 Weigh In

This week I weighed in at 200.2

That makes a 3 pound loss for the week

and a total loss of 78 pounds. 

Week 28 and 29 Weigh In -

I didn't get a chance to post

last weeks Weigh In.

So here it is below:

Week 28 - down .4lbs. Ugh.

Week 29 - down 2.8 lbs

On Saturday I was down 3.2 lbs, 

but on Sunday (Weigh Day) the scale

had gone up a little. 

I am SO CLOSE to 

ONEderland!!!!

Woohoo!! 

I don't think I'll meet my 

August 1st goal of being

below 200.....

But I'll be VERY close!!!!

Week 27 Weigh In -

This week's Weigh In

was better than LAST WEEK's

but it still wasn't great. 

- 2.2 Pounds.

That puts me at 71.6 Total Loss so far.

Week 24 Weigh In -

I only lost .6 this week.

Ugh.

But I am retaining water again.

On Monday I was down .8 for the week.

On Tuesday I went walking and running

and Wednesday morning I had GAINED 

2 pounds!! It was still there on Thursday.

(I know it isn't actual "weight" but water

because taking in the amount of calories

I am it is impossible to gain that much

weight. And I didn't cheat at all).

But it's still frustrating.

Friday I was back down to my weight

of the week before, and Saturday the scale 

stayed the same.  I was expecting it to 

be my first week EVER to NOT lose weight. 

But this morning it had dropped .6

LESS than a pound, but still a loss.

I Have Lost an Elephant's Penis!!

I Have Lost an Elephant's Penis!!

Yep!! You heard me!

Those bad boys weigh about 60 Pounds!

As of this morning, I've lost 66 so far!

Try strapping one of THOSE on your back

and carrying it around!! 

(Thank you "A" for bringing that to my attention) :)

Week 23 Weigh In -

This week was a fairly good weigh in.  

I lost 3.2 pounds for the week.

That brings my total weight loss so far to 

65.4 pounds. 

Just 13 more pounds to go and I will

be in ONEderland!!!

FINALLY below 200!! 

I can't WAIT!!!!!

Week 22 Weigh In -

I finally have Internet again!!

The tech came out late yesterday and 

got it fixed.  Something about it not 

being grounded....

Last week I lost 1.6. 

Bringing the Total to 62.2

Not a big loss, but it is still a loss!

 

On Monday I had dropped another pound,

and on Tuesday another...... so this week's

weigh in is looking promising!

Fingers crossed it doesn't go up again :)

Week 21 Weigh In -

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!

I FINALLY got my Whoosh!!! 

I lost 4.8 this week!!!

Total loss so far 60.6!

I was up and down all week, 

so it was very frustrating.

Monday I was down nearly a pound.

Tuesday I was up a pound.

Wednesday I was down slightly

and Thursday I was up 2 pounds! 

Saturday I was at a 2.8 loss for the week

and this morning I had dropped another 2!! 

Woohoo!!  

I hope it continues through out the week! 

Week 20 Weigh In -

Yet another small loss.

Only 1 pound.

But a pound is still a pound.

And as my friend always tells 

me, That is 4 sticks of butter. 

I haven't had a chance to go

and get my measurements taken,

but I plan on doing that Tomorrow

or Wednesday.  I will update with my 

measurements as soon as I have them.

I'm hoping, even though my weightloss

has slowed...my measurements will

show that I am losing inches steadily.

3X - 2X - XL

I was doing laundry today,

and while folding my husband's T-shirts

I suddenly got the urge to try one of his 

XL T-Shirts on, to see how close I am 

to being in an XL.  

IT FIT!!!!

I couldn't believe it!! 

When I first started Medifast

 I was in a size 3X!

I was still wearing some 2X 

clothes, but they were tight. 

 

And there I was wearing an 

XL

And it FIT!!! 

I didn't have to stretch it out

like I used to do my 2X shirts,

it just FIT!! 

 

It really made me realize how

far I have come.

 

And you better believe

I am STILL wearing that 

XL

T-shirt Now!! 

:)

Week 17 Weigh In -

This week I lost 1.4lbs.

Which brings me to a 

total loss of........

50.2 Pounds!!!

I was disappointed with yet

another small loss this week

BUT I am ecstatic at 

FINALLY

reaching my 50 pound goal!!!! 

And I weighed again this morning...

and I dropped another

1.8 pounds!!!

Maybe that is a sign

that this will be a 

GOOD WEEK!!! 

:)
