Wow!!! It is so great to see everyone's success stories!

I am down about 118lbs after my first year, I have had some ups and downs. I have discovered when I work to much or have an infection of some sort I tend to have a lot of issues with my band. I have two complete unfills and I am back to 2.5cc so I doing good.

I want to lose about another 40lbs, my doctor has told me this is very possible, however take my time at this last part.

As always still working on those good choices of food, dang I wish it was so easy to make the bad ones, but we just gotta do it.

Check out my profile I just added a one year pic of before and now. I just wanted to add the before pic was four weeks post surgery and I was already down 35lbs.

Good Luck everyone and thanks for all the support it does help!

I live in Avondale and would love to get together with you all.

I have had Fluid taken in and out for the past two months. My scale has bounced back and forth. My doctor explained yesterday that my body needs to readjust and figure out what is going and to realize once you have hit that 80-90lb loss it is readjusting the weight will continue to come off, just most likely at a slower pace for awhile. Remember it is tool and you control how the tool works and sometimes it is just a slower than others ... be patient and remember this is a new lifestyle.

I hope this finally hits it for everyone! I had another fill yesterday. After feeling as though I was at my sweetspot and then getting sick and having some removed I am finally at a point where I feel I am getting back to where I was at. I wanted 1cc, but he said only .5 to make sure we are where we want to be and not another overfill. scale has bounced up and down so much these past two months I just want it to slide down. I am definately planning on this being a better month. Good luck everyone!

Congratulations Cutie! You have done a great job!

I at 94.5 lbs loss, I had a rough Feb/Mar. I had a unfill and just got a fill this week, so things seem to be going down again. Again Congratulations!

Well I haven't weighed in a long time, I had a rough month in February and had to have a partial unfill of 2cc. I gained some weight back and it was up and down all month. I finally got a full adjustment on Tuesday and dropped a few pounds, so I am hoping to be on the downhill road now. So, down a total of 94.5lbs since 8/8/08. Good luck everyone!

Rough week for me. Had to have some of my fill removed. Had over worked a lot the week prior and an asthma attack, so the doctor took our 2cc, said my stomach had inflamation to it. So I was up and down all week, managed to stay the same, but will have to be careful until next appointment. He will put 1cc back in if I can maintain or if I am struggling.

Wow looks like everyone is doing so good! What a beautiful Grandbaby, Shamrock! I haven't logged in in a while, but I gained a lb one week and then lost the past weeks, so I am down a total of 10.5 for the past three weeks. I getting close to that 100lb loss so I am happy about that, I will be happier to under the 200lb mark on the scale.< /p>

Way to go Everyone! Looks like we are all still trucking down that road, occasionally hitting some pot holes, but still heading down hill. I had a good week. Discovering putting a scoop of unflavored Protein in my coffee with some s/f vanilla sure helps me make sure I get enough protein in.

Last week 233.5

This week 229

So I am happy with my loss and I am going keep pushing.

Have a wonderful week everyone!:thumbup:

And of course GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am down about a 1.5lbs this week. Not too bad. I had a huge loss the week before, so I expected little to none this week. Keeping up with getting in that Protein can be difficult for me, since I been working so much, but I am working on it. I know you have to eat to lose. Have a wonderful week everyone!

I had a good weight loss this week. I worked too much and had a lot of stress, but what the heck I had a 4lbs loss, so I will take it. Though I know I have to be better at making sure I eat at the right times. It looks like everyone had a great week. I finally hit my 80lb loss mark so that is good thing... look out Hawaii I am on my way.

Well, it was an okay week, a loss is a loss I keep telling myself. I am sure it is going to slow down now. I am down a 1.5 lbs this week. But a I had a great NSV (non scale victory) I had to take a flight to CA on Monday and no need for a safety belt extention!!!! and there was room even better! Good Luck everyone!

Gosh I hope I started this thread right! I am always late weighing in. Anyways I had a much better week, threw out those Christmas goodies and concentrated more on Protein.

I am down 3.4 lbs this week! Good Luck to all and may all our goals be met in 2009.:biggrin:

Sounds wonderful to me Linda! Let's keep in touch! Good Luck this week!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday!

Congratulations Everyone!!! Way to go! This is my first week with such a low weight loss, but I know I ate too many Christmas goodies. I even managed one tamale, so I will be happy with my.5lb loss. A loss is a loss and definately better than a gain. I am working on more Protein this week and no sugar goodies. Have a wonderful week.

Good Morning,

Sorry I always seem to be Saturday weigh in, but at least I am consistant! Anyways I lost another 2.5lbs. I got my Christmas wish of being at a 70lb loss. Now, I gotta remember not to sample everything next week, as I am preparing for a guest list of 50 for Christmas eve.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!

71 lbs total since 8/8/08. I am happy and I just keep pounding away it. 70lb loss was my Christmas wish. Now, I will be thinking of a my one year wish! Best of luck to everyone!

Good Morning,

As always I am a day off in my weigh in. First I want to say Congratulations!!!!! to everyone for keeping up with the dropping of those lbs during this difficult season full of fun foods. I had a follow up with my doctor this week and there was no need for a fill yet, he thinks I am dropping slow enough, so I was happy about that. I am hoping to hit that 70lb loss by Christmas! :rolleyes2: However, I am down 3.5lbs this week and hoping to drop a little more next week! Good Luck everyone! Have a wonderful week. :cursing:

Gosh, seems like lately it takes until Sunday for me to post.

I lost 3lbs this week, been super busy with my boss here. I go for a check up and possible fill tomorrow. I don't know that I need one I still have lots of restriction. And then off with my boss for the remaining part of the week.

Anywas hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Well it was a good week, I lost 3lbs this week, and finally over that 60lb loss mark! I am going to keep pushing. I increased my mornings to a Protein Drink and got to walk a few mornings this week along with evenings. I don't think I was consuming enough Protein. I hope my schedule allows me to keep that up for bit. I have a appointment this week, but don't know if I will need a fill, I am still pretty restricted. Good luck everyone!

Wow Incredible! You look wonderful!

Only a pound this week, but still a loss so I will take it with a smile and work harder next week. Good luck everyone! We have lots to be thankful for this year and remember turkey is a good source of Protein, so eat it and forget the rest!:laugh:

Okay lellow! YoU GO GIRL!!!!! The only advice I can give you is to make sure you get enough Protein, without it you will not lose as quick. I was told here from another banster that you must take your current weight and multiply it by .37 and that is the amount of protein you need. Eat your protein first, veggies second and YOU WILL lose! When I had my rough weeks, I started to watch my protein and bam it started coming off again. Good Luck and Make sure you post a picture in that new HOT dress!

Sorry so late this week, guess I was busy, and didn't realize it. Weighing late this evening instead of in the morning. Down 2.5lbs this week. I am off to Vegas to work next week, so hopefully it will be a good loss week, last month I did great losing there, so hoping for more of the same. Good Luck everyone!

Good Morning Everyone!

I had a pretty good week, I dropped 3.5lbs this week. I have increased my work outs to 40 minutes in the morning and nice brisk 30 minute walk at night. I had part of my last fill removed on last Friday afternoon, because it was too much and I couldn't hold down Water. It appears everything is going good now. I love to see so much success with everyone! Have a great weekend.
