    Weigh ins: Saturday's
    04/06/14 = 180 (-1.5)
    04/13/14 = 180 (0)

    04/30/14 =

    Last week I wrote "Broke down and overate last night (Chinese) and lost 1.5# WTF???? It'll probably come back (sigh) but it was there this morning, so it's mine!" - Well it did come right back, but over the last week it has disappeared again. So this looks like a "Stay the same" but it was actually booking a solid loss.

    I hit 179.75 on Friday (into the 170's OMG!) but it was back to 180 Saturday. If there's a loss, it'll get captured next week.

    Best wishes to all!!!!!!!!!

    My calves have evened out to be the same size, but did not decrease. I lost in measurements everywhere else though of at least 0.5 inches, except my hips. I think I have finished my second TOM in one month, yeck.

    Hello I'm just starting . Currently I am just being honest about my food intake and exercise to get a good picture of what I'm doing wrong. But I will soon be starting my real diet. Any suggestions for good meal and snacking ideas. Is anyone doing any specific program?

    Welcome to the group! Being honest with yourself is a great starting point. I'm not following any specific diet plan as most are simply out of my price range. For exercise I am following Rockin' Body from Beachbody. It's about a month long program. It's had a big impact on me already with a total of 15.7 " lost all around (arms, neck, thighs, waist, etc.).

    @Russ - Thank you.

    Hey...a loss is a loss! I will take it and say thank you!

    Continuing to feel stronger and more flexible. My fitbit step count is set to 15000 and it is mostly a matter of finding the time for the walkies, not the energy.

    All is well.

    4/4/14= 293 lbs (-1 lb.) Really hope this doesn't portend another slow losing month - yikes.
    4/11/14= 293.6 (+.6 lb.) Given all the salt I had this week and the change in the weather, it's no wonder. Need to get lots more water and walking in this week! :)
    4/18/14= 291 (-2.6 lbs.) Finally a decent loss - might be seeing a light at the end of the stall tunnel!

    My Friday Weigh In:

    CW: 240.3
    GW: 231.5
    LTGW: 145

    Weigh ins:
    4/4/2014 - 238.6 (-1.7)
    4/11/2014 - 243.8 (+5.2) I didn't log this last week, I was so embarrassed by how much I gained. Then as I'm logging yesterday's weight I realized that this is what it's about. Being honest with myself and my MFP friends and being accountable for the gain.
    4/18/2014 - 240.4 (-3.4) Back on track, even though I'm not where I started the month or where I thought I'd be, however, I will finish strong.
    4/25/2014 -
    4/30/2014 - last day of the month falls on a Wednesday, so I may have this as a 'bonus' weigh in

    04/30/14 =

    I've been at 179 all week then it went up to 182 then back down. It's under 180 right now, but only by a smidgeon.

    There's no bariatric-surgery effect anymore. I can eat whatever I want now. Control now depends on good habits learned.

    I've been on the precipice of carb-craving-crashes but not succumbed yet. The only time I want to have to fight is to avoid overwhelming danger. The rest of the time, eating should feel like a simple natural enjoyable lifestyle.

    It all depends on the lessons learned. protein, water, limited-carbs, vitamins, exercise, tracking, accountability, support and good friends.

    Thank you,
