Mamas or soon to be mamas who are morbidly obese, lets be buddies!

I used to stop eating by about 8 but then I read a few things that said it didn't matter, that the whole thing about eating right before bed wasn't true. So I go with that. I do usually stop by at least 9 though. The thing that matters is eating your daily points.

I do try and make sure I drink enough water during the day, I try to hit 90oz at the least (not counting coffee/tea), and more if I'm having something really salty.

We have about the same amount to lose. We can do it!

Unfortunately I am the picture taker of the family so there's not a lot of me. This is the closest I have of my body and it's from boxing day
I'll try and get a better one another time.

 

[hello_kitty]

You dont even look that big hun! Your arms definitely look smaller than mine. My arms are what sticks out the most.

I have very few full body shots of myself! I have quite a few of my face, but you can't really see what I really look like. I'll see if I can have a dig around, but probs another night as it's late now.

I tend to eat dinner around 8ish, but have been known to eat a lot later. Tonight is a prime example as I had my WW class and didn't get home until 8.45pm. Dinner is currently cooking. I think in the grand scheme of things , it doesnt really matter. It's more uncomfortable eating too late I think. Like TR said, WW is all about sticking to your points regardless of what you eat and when. If you cant get to a class , you can do WW online. It's got a great community/message boards and I log in most days.

I lost 2.5lbs tonight, which is 6lb in total. I'm pleased with that!

Great job Vix! (Funny enough Vixxy used to be my old nickname so it's weird calling someone else it lol)

HK I lost a lot of weight originally and while I am still quite large, I still have a bit of shrinkage in my arms from before. They aren't as big as they once were but they are larger than they were when I had lost most of my weight.

This was my old 100 lbs lost picture.
The second one is when I was newly pregnant so that would have been me at my lowest.

 

[hello_kitty]

Wow you looked amazing TR! Those pics will certainly give you motivation to continue losing weight. At least you lost the weight at some point. The happiest ive ever been with my weight was when i was 14 lol i weighed 117. I weighed around 125 freshman year of high school. By junior year things got way out of control and my weight has gone up constantly from then. we're going to canada in 2 weeks so not much i can do weightwise at this time but i reallly wanna go to hawaii again. Dh said that if i lose all the weight andcreach my goal he'll treat us to hawaii.

Today has been a long day. Its my husbandsday off so we've spent it outdoors. Been out for the past 6 hours but imma still go to the gym after im done pumping milk. Gotta start somewhere right?

Great job on the weight loss vix!

HK You are doing awesome! 117 is tiny! That's something to be proud of. What is your end goal?

That would be an awesome reward! I want to go to Hawaii at some point.

 

[hello_kitty]

My end goal is 120 lbs. I am short only 5'3 so if I want to look good, I'd have to weigh between 120 - 130 lbs, but I think I looked my best between the 117 - 125 range.

So I am really disappointed right now? Who in the world could pack on 4-5 pounds overnight? Like seriously? Does fat accumulate that fast? So I am struggling right now and usually wake up weighing 223 - 224. This morning I woke up weighing a whopping 228.8. Aside from my normal meals I didnt pig out or anything. Only thing different was I went to the gym last night and drank more water. What is going on?? I am scared as heck since I have never woken up weighing that much before.

Are you close to getting your period? How was your salt intake yesterday? And this doesn't work for everyone, but what I found works for me is that I need to eat more when I exercise otherwise I gain or my weight stalls out.

You'll lose it, don't worry

 

[hello_kitty]

yea I think my period is around the corner although I dont know when exactly it will show up. My periods have always been irregular. I dont think I consumed more salt, I dont cook using salt. Oh well, lets see what happens next week,

Today was day 2 of goign to the gym. Felt really great. Im gonna weigh myself next monday since I started yesterday. Hopefully the weight gain is just a temporary thing.

 

[Try Rocking]

I'm glad you feel good! That's the best feeling in the world when you're done lol

 

[topsy]

I am trying to figure this all out too. Its either water retention or I am unconsciously eating more than I should (because of the hunger after working out). Still weigh 228.8 today and strangely I have no muscle soreness from working out.

 

[topsy]

Some of mine is from my BED binges BUT a STONE my scales do weigh me a few lbs more than the SW ones BUT am so cross with myself for gaining some weight I HAD lost. AF is here too!

Sorry you cant work it out too, Glad your muscles arnt to sore from working out hun xxxx

 

[pompeyvix]

Sorry you girls are struggling with the weird weight gain. I can only suggest some serious water retention going on, but who know's. It's all so confusing isn't it!

 

[topsy]

^^ It is hun. thanks xxxx

 

[Try Rocking]

I'm definitely not tiny! Maybe I'll let my daughter take some pictures, I'm sure she's likely to get a realistic shot of me lol

I've been having issues too. I had a decent loss last week but I feel like I'm hovering over the same few pounds. Super annoying!
And with Easter coming very quickly and my in-laws arriving tomorrow... I'm sure I'll be fighting these same few pounds for a few weeks.

 

[topsy]

^^ I am doing the same thing hun loosing and gaining the same 3 lbs SO annoying going to see if I CAN stay on track all week gaine 1/2 lbs this morning.

Hope you are all having a nice bank hol fri
xxxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Just weighed myself this morning. I am 226 so almost a 3 lb weight loss but still not happy.

 

[topsy]

3lbs is fab hun, well done. sorry you are not happy. HUGS xxx

 

[jessicasmum]

I just got another letter from The Christie hospital and they have moved my appointment to 20th April, glad I'm getting seen sooner.

I'm just eating way to much crap, Easter is here all loads of chocolate I know I will eat, I just don't have no motivation to get started as I can't seem to even go 1 day being good recently, it gets to tea time and that's as far as it goes being good, I need to know my proper weight but don't want to weigh myself because I know I've put quite a bit on.

I've had bleeding for the 3rd time now in between my periods so I'm going to phone gp and get an appointment Tuesday because Monday is a bank holiday so not open.
