Weigh-In Wednesday

Hello to all.  It is that dreaded day of the week where in order to hold me accountable, I weigh in PUBLICLY!!

Highest weight:  205
Weight on day of surgery:  180
Goal weight:  140-142
"Freak-out Weight":  145
Weight today:  146

A GAIN????  Does anyone see an upward trend??  Hands up.....(I am holding both of my hands in the air)

So what is a girl to do???

1. Get back on track with measuring food portions.  Since I haven't really had any fluid in my band since June, I know I can eat WAY TOO MUCH food.  Plus I am hungry every two hours. YUCK.

2.  Call and make a fill appointment.  (done)  Went to dr. yesterday and got .75 cc fill which brings me to about 2.25cc total.  This is actually lower than last September when I was trying to find my green zone....here we are a year later and I am still looking for it!!  That's ok though, I have all the time in the world to be back down to 140. 

3.  Kick up my exercise.  I have been keeping up with my workouts but the quality of them has decreased.  I  don't have that much time now that school has started so every workout minute needs to count!

Maintenance is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

Wednesday Weigh -in

Second week of posting my weigh-in....it's actually hard for me to do.  (Posting it....not getting on the scale.)  I feel self-conscious...like everyone knows if I ate healthy or not...which is the point ?  right?


Highest weight:  205
Weight on day of surgery:  180
Goal weight:  140-142
Last week: 144
Weight today:  145

A GAIN????  That's not what I was going for. Maintenance is tricky. 

I weighed in 4days in a row at 145.0...whenever my weight is EXACTLY the same, I know I am not eating enough.  I added in an extra 140 calories to my daily budget to see if that would break the cycle.  It did...weighed in at 144.4 & 144.6 the last two days.  Now I am starting to wonder IF maybe I don't need those extra calories??  I really don't want to gain.  I will start to cut back on some of my exercise since I go back to work tomorrow.

I guess I will have  to see what happens over the next few days and re-evaluate.
Happy Wednesday.

Weigh In Wednesday

I normally DO NOT post my weigh-ins on my blog.

I do weigh myself everyday though.  (Yes, call me all the names you can think of...scale whore, etc.)

I think that since I am doing maintenance (kinda sorta)  I could use all the support I can get from you wonderful people!

Highest weight:  205
Weight on day of surgery:  180
Goal weight:  140-142
Last week: ??? I don't know...I think 143
Weight today:  144

Gotta track my food a little more carefully and get near that 142 again.
