Count me in. I'm starting later so I'm going to make a small goal of 8lbs.

Hi all, it's been a while scince I've posted anything here. The true is I hit a plateau. I wasn't losing or gaining. I even stopped going to the gym, which was a bad decision. I ended up gaining a few pounds over the holidays. At least it wasn't 10-15 like most holidays before. Anyway, I've had two fills since last posting. I am now at 5cc's and I finally feel like I have good restriction. It feels like the second or third week after surgery. It's great, yet I have PBed several times since my last fill this past Thurday. I'm not chewing my food properly and I am still trying to eat too much. When I feel full I still take another bit or two and of course, I start to slim or PB. Sorry - TMI. I hope this means I'm close to my sweet spot. I hoping to see some loss this week.

Well I'm experiencing the same. I have 3 cc's in my band but I am surprised with how much I can still eat. Also my hunger comes back quickly. For example I stopped at chick-fil-a and ate only 8 nuggets (only 260 calories) and a few fries and about 2.5 hours later I started feeling hungry again. I think this is mainly why my weight loss has slowed down to .5lbs a week. I'm hoping my 3rd fill will keep the hunger off and I start losing faster, but it will be a few more weeks until I get my next fill.

I also forgot to weigh in last week. I lost .5 lbs last week and this week after getting another 1 cc in my band (3 cc's total) I lost 1.5 lbs. Not a lot of exercise this week, in fact I haven't made it to the gym in almost 2 weeks. I'm making it a point to get there this weekend.

My ticker says it all.

Congratulations!! It must feel great.

I feel like I am eating too much as well. Plus my hunger comes back much sooner. I now have 3cc's and it will be a few more weeks until my next fill. My weight loss has slowed down to only 1/2 lb a week. At least it is something. I'm hoping I continue to lose and not start gaining.

Down .5 lbs I'm really late posting last Friday's weight loss. I figure I better post tonight before everyone starts posting tomorrow.

I'm down 2 lbs this week. That is the most for a week over the past several weeks. I am going to the gym to run/walk on the treadmill or eliptical.

Congrats 2Big4U!!! You do get use to the 3 min intervals. At first I thought they were way too long but I then got use to it. I'm on week 5 right now.

I have to laugh. I'm sitting here reading your post with a bag of chips in my hand. I justified it by telling myself that I had an o.k. day when it came to eating. But I have to admit I am having a hard time lately eating well. I had one fill of 2cc's and I have another one coming up on Nov 6th. I can't wait.

I just realized I posted this week's weight loss on last week's thread. Anyway, which ever thread you read, I am now down a half a pound this week for a total of 32 pounds.
