Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Went for my monthly weigh-in at the KSSF meeting last Saturday, 11/19. I was exactly the same (at goal!) weight--149-- that I was last year on 11/20! Yes, I'd had a few months' sojourn in the over-150 range. But with patience and some gentle discipline, as well as the invaluable support of my beloved fiance , I'm down again to where I want to be. Way back when I was trying to DECIDE my goal weight, I wanted to be 135. I got down to 143 and Nadia and everyone else said, " are you anorexic or what!? " Turns out my body wouldn't stay there anyway, unless I really starved myself. I found that when I was compliant with the rules, ate well, and felt good, my weight was almost always 148-149. So my body told me where it wanted to be...and I'm there again, with mindfulness, but without forcing it. Onward into the holidays! --Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Good for you, Martha! Weight loss is something we have all succeeded at at one time or another, but maintenance is another story. Congrats on your success with this phase of the battle!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi Martha- first of all i would like to toast you and timmy your fiance in your first Thanksgiving together, i love that you share the meal and treated yourselves to appetizers, i find when i go out i eat off of what my husband orders and if he orders something i dont like i just get what i want and give it to my son for him later on. the goal thing intrigues me ...........I was never given a goal but oneday preop i met with and she asked me what my goal was at first i was going to say 155, because i had been that 22 years ago when i was pregnant with my daughter.........but then i thought back and thought at that time i would of looked great if i lost ten pounds.....................so i quickly responded 145......................... Right now i am at 162...........so i have like 17 pounds to go to reach my goal.......................it will be one year since my surgery on feb 10th...................... I dont know if anyone has done this or not, and its embarrassing to write but the other night while folding laundry i was watching one of the before and after plastic surgery shows and there was a mother /daughter team that had both done weight loss surgery and had excess skin removed, well..............................when it got a little later and i was drawing a bath for myself, i always see the scale and say hmmmmm wonder what my weight is naked today...... I got this crazy idea to try to weigh my belly skin, i tried this some four times and i simply could not get it to work, it was sort of comical even for myself ! I just was curious what it would weigh........................................ Anyways thats terriffic you are at your goal weight this far out !
