Everything about my weigh goals is about the same except since I was able to get down to 119 I want that back. If I did it before I can do it again. The only comfort is I didn't gain back all my weight.
I haven't decided exactly what plan I will use. I am just going to go back to plant based. I also am not going to eat anything processed. Once I detox I want to transition back to Eat to live.
My dream weight is 125
My previous Weight Watchers goal weight was 144
My goal weight is somewhere in between.
My realistic weigh is now 135. That takes into account the massive quantities of extra skin that trick me into thinking that I am still fat. There has to be at least 10 pound of it so my secret weight is 125 or below.
UPDATE!!!!
I not only have reached my secret dream weight but I have been maintaining it since June of 2012. So if I were to have this skin removed I would actually weigh below 120. I am proud that I lost enough weight to make a real impact in my life. Not only am I within normal weight range but I have a body age of 40! My body is 17 years younger than my actual age. This just goes to show you that can reverse the effects of obesity. :D

01/24/11-- 196-- --00-- 99
The scale is wonky today. it kept jumping around before it landed on 196 so I am going to take the 196 that it landed on. I will buy a battery and see what happens next week.
01/31/11-- 194-- -02-- 101
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Time to make new goals!
02/07/11-- 190-- -04-- 105
Wow! I thought maybe 2 pounds. I did eat less this week because I have been battling a cold. I also did not exercise. I love it when I have the ability to eat according to my activity level! This is major progress.
02/14/11-- 190-- --00-- 105
I guess that 4 pounds for last week was partly due to not eating as much due to illness. I will remain strong! The weight is coming off no matter what! Ha ha! No weight gain! La la la la la la!

07/11/11 168- -01 -127
I am saying good bye to the scale until 1/2/2012! If I cheat and peak then I am going to throw out the scale. I double dog dare myself to do this!
07/18/11
07/25/11
08/01/11
08/08/11 167- -01 -128
So I only lost one pound in a month. Not the best. So I am going back to weekly weigh ins. I need to monitor myself more. My BMI is coming down too!
08/15/11 165- -02 -130
I'm back!!! The walking is working!!! WOOHOO!!!
08/22/11 161- -04 -134
Am I ever back! Woah! Yahoo! Yeehaw! Woohoo! Yippee! Need I say more?
08/29/11 160- -01 -135
Wow...wow...wow...my dream is coming true!
09/05/11 160- 00 -135
Break time!
09/12/11 157 -03 -138
I'm glad to be in the 150's but I feel like I got run over by a VW Bug!
09/19/11 155 -02 -140
woo hoo! I took a good look at my stomach yesterday and I am really getting smaller.
09/26/11 157 +02 -138
I have never put on any weight because I was out of control since I have started this time around. I did this to myself and I accept full responsibility for my piggy ways.
10/03/11 155 -02 -140
OK now I am back to where I was last week. Time go get out of the 150's!
10/10/11 154 - 01 -141
Another pound gone! :D
10/17/11 153 -01 -142
10/24/11 151 -02 -144
Yippee!
10/31/11 148 -03 -147
Wowza!
11/07/11 148 -00 -147
I am so glad that I am resting this week. Onward HO!...
11/14/11 146 -02 -149
ONWARD AND DOWNWARD! woo hoo!
11/21/11 146 -00 -149
11/28/11 144 -02 -151
I'm "down" with that!
12/0/511 143 -01 -152
yeehaw!
12/12/11 142 -01 -153
Another pound gone!
12/19/11 140 -02 -155
I lost 2 pounds! I lost 2 pounds. I lost 2 pounds! YIPPEE!!!!
12/26/11 140 -00- -155
stayed the same... nice rest!
01/02/12 140 -00- -155
Again? Really?
01/09/12 137 -03- -158
I have no idea where the 3 pounds went.
01/16/12 137 -00- -158
break time!
01/23/12 137 -00- -158
Still holding strong!
01/30/12 137 -00- -158
Maybe this is it? I am not ready for it to end. At least I will still be eating the same way so whether or not I lose weight isn't as important as eating right.
02/06/12 137 -00- -158
Still maintaining with no desire to over eat or regain the weight. What a miracle!
02/13/12 136 -01- -159
Wow, that was a hard pound to lose. I am happy but very drained.
02/20/12 130 -06- -165
Don't ask me how I lost 6 pounds this week. I did have an issue with diarrhea but I ate more than I usually would eat because I was hungrier.
02/27/12 132 +2 163
I am declaring the weight loss portion of my life over. I have to take into account that I have extra skin which if removed would bring me below my goal of 125. It was a good fight and I declare myself the winner. weigh ins will now be for the purpose of making sure that I maintain my weight loss.
03/05/12 134 +2 161
I'm still below 135 so all is good
03/12/12 134 -0- 161
03/19/12 132 -2- 163
OK so I am back down again. Steady....... steady...... remember homeostasis!
03/26/12 132 -0- 163
still maintaining
From now on I will be recording my weight here on the first Monday of each month.
04/02/12 132
04/30/12 126.2 -5.8- 168.8
So I lost 5.8 pounds this month! That means I am losing weight at a higher rate than before even when I am not working at losing weight but curbing my bread cravings. I am going to keep doing what I am doing and see where it leads me.
06/04/12 122.6 -3.6 172.4
This was weight that I didn't want to lose. I am going to have to eat more starches.
07/02/12 124.8 +2.2 170.2
Now that's more like it!
07/30/12 123 -1.8 172
09/03/12 119.7 -3.3 175.3
Oh boy! I wonder how much lower I can go? This is such a shock.
10/22/12 118.8 -0.9 176.
11/19/12 119.7 +0.9 175.3
12/03/12 119.2 -0.5 175.8
295 01/18/10 - 248 06/21/10 = 27 weeks 42 1.55/week
248 06/21/10 - 223 10/04/10 = 15 weeks 25 1.66/week
223 10/04/10 - 199 01/10/11 = 14 weeks 24 1.71/week
199 01/10/11 - 174 05/23/11 = 19 weeks 25 1.31/week
174 05/23/11 - 148 10/31/11 = 23 weeks 26 1.13/week
148 10/31/11 - 122 06/04/12 = 31 weeks 18 0.839/week

It's been a while since I posted. I am still losing weight but it's been a tough time. I am a creature of habit. And I like my comfy cozy eating and have really felt good. My test on the 4th was the last time I felt "normal". The test itself was very stressful. It was physically uncomfortable to have a long tuben shoved through my nose down my throat and into my stomach. Sometimes I had to keep from swallowing and then i had to drink sips of water and swallow. That went on for 20 minutes. The next test was much better. The probe was much smaller and it was the same thing except I had to keep it in until the next morning. I had to keep a diary of when I had symtoms, took medication, when I ate and when I lay down and got up. I was being tested to see how my pH was effected. I had to eat differently than I would normally eat such as drink larger amounts of water and I also was to eat things that wouldn't normally eat. I was supposed to go shopping because I was very low on food. This was one of the times I wished I had a car because if I did it would really have been of great help and I would have avoided 10 days of he'll. I got a ride with my son to the hospital got my tube removed and discussed the past day. I got Dial-A-Ride to pick me up there and take me to the store. I had decided to go to another store where there was more variety. Unfortunately, time was tight and there was only time to go to a small local grocery store. It's a nice store but the produce section is a bit lacking. I did the best I could and went home. Let me go back to the following day and talk about what I decided to eat. I worded this 3 in one pizza. It was a cheese pizza calzone combo. I ate some for lunch, dinner and breakfast. It was nasty tasting not because it wasn't good but because it wasn't within my chosen eating. For lunch I had some shepherd's pie. When I took it out of the oven, I saw the bubbling cheese and fat from the ground beef and devoured the whole thing. Within 30 minutes I was nauseaus and in pain. This was the beginning of the 10 days of hell. It took hours to throw up and I finally called for an ambulance. It was about 6 hours before I got home. They decide that it was a gallstones and that I had chronic gallbladder disease. I could barely drink for the next few days and my tongue was dry and I was queasy most of the time. A couple of days later I was able to drink a few ounces of smoothie. The next day I drank the rest of it throughout the day and a bit of water. I don't feel like eating so I had small amounts of smoothie and water. That night I was starting to feel hunger pains so I ate a can of tomato veggie soup. The next day there was more smoothie and I finished the day with some chicken and herb dumpling soup. I tried eating my homemade lentil soup but I couldn't eat it. It just didn't taste good. The next day I felt much better. The day after that I had an appointment with a surgeon when determined it wasn't my gallbladder. I did have a gallstones that was flipping back and forth and just happened to block things off. So it was all related to gastric reflux. I. More confused than ever but I have an appointment with my primary and hopefully I will come out with a clearer understanding of everything.
For today I am going to take a step back and skip some meals and just drink water. I just need to rest a bit. During the past week I've eaten thing that were not plant based like pasta and a few random bits of chicken and onion rings which I ate because I was very hungry. Then I saw what I was doing and was terrified that I would spiral into eating patterns from the past. That's why I am skipping at least breakfast and will see how I feel when I get home after my appointment. I feel like I've learned my lesson and will continue back on my comfy coz I eating plan. I still managed to lose weight but it's mostly due to not being able to eat. If I want it to continue, I will have to really be diligent. I could use a rest from losing weight so maybe I will just maintain. So I will post tomorrow if I'm able. I just need to keep track of what's going on.
