I am such a yo yo...down 1 pound today from last Monday. Go to get

a fill tomorrow. I think some of the exercising for the last 2 weeks may

be adding some muscle weight, because I actually zipped the size 14W jean yesterday...but still had the belly roll, but I got them zipped.

My husband has said my twins have gotten smaller, which has never

happened before with losing weight. I too might lift and enlarge them, but will wait till I am a lot further along.

Exercised 4 days in the last week.

talking about weighing in everyday,

I weigh in so often that I know what I weigh naked, with clothes on, how much a pair of jeans makes my weight go up and that a wet towel on my head just getting out ot the shower increases my weight 2.5 lbs. I know I'm sick, I'm obsessed!, And Now when I think I'm getting it together.... I start talking to the damn thing as though its going to feel sorry for me and show me weighing less next time I jump on!

Its nice to go out of town often I leave it at home! Maybe I still have a bit of control! LOL

I must be really tired tonight...

You guys have me in stitches...

Something we do to the naturally skinny biatches I think...........

Oh my...I also fell off my chair LMAO...

Too funny...

This definitely made my day!!!

I'm so excited...lost 3 pounds so far this week. Guess not having

those Cookies help...

I feel like I have hit a plato. Been flucuating between 216 and 220 for over 3 weeks now. Just started back to exercising last week, hope this helps.

Last week I also noticed that my hair is falling out pretty bad, and I don't

have much to lose. Any suggestions other than those nasty Protein Shakes?

Happy New Year everyone!! I am so excited to start the new challenge!

Mom: Thanks so much for keeping up with us through the Christmas challenge!

I too went for a fill 2 weeks ago and was told I only had .5cc left from 1.5cc. That might explain why I didn't lose any during those 5 weeks.

Two weeks ago the doc put 1.5cc in and tomorrow I go to see how much

is left. I have definitely felt the restriction the whole two weeks. Have

had more PBing than ever before. Find the first 2 bites really don't go down well and end up PBing. Then I am able to eat. Sounds crazy.

Overall I am down 33 pounds since beginning and down 3 sizes.

MOM

Still the same, no weight loss. Kind of stuck right now. Doc wouldn't fill

me 2 weeks ago (2nd Fill), said weight loss was on track. Now it has stopped. Go back in 21st Nov. Definitely need a fill. Hungry all the time.

Monday weigh in 225.....-1 pound this week.

Someone told me to try the Giant Supermarket brand Decaf tea.

I really cannot taste the difference and it doesn't keep me up at

nite.

I woke up this morning another 1.5 lbs lighter :omg: for a Christmas Challenge total of 9.5. Current weight 226.5. :clap2: Go for my second fill

tomorrow. Hope it goes a little better. Took 25 minutes to find the port

hole. Was very bruised. Still have most of my fat around the middle which I think makes it harder to locate the port.

I have not had my first fill. Next Tuesday.

How do I know if I am eating enough calories?

Mainly trying to ensure I get enough Protein, which

I don't think I do. Don't want to lose what little

hair I have.

I am currently one month and 1 day post op. I have been stuck at a weight loss of 19 pounds for almost 2 weeks. I hear this is normal. Can anyone tell me how long this will last? How much am I suppose to eat in a day?
