Okay, as many of us are now entering into completing year 2 of Lapband Life in 2010 for us March 2008 Bandsters, I would like to keep an accountability thread going. For those who are at goal, to monitor if you maintain within a range you want to maintain, and for those of us who are not yet to goal, to set ourselves a goal to achieve in this year to motivate us to keep going.

I know this is a little sensitive posting your actual weight for some but I feel I need this accountability as it became too easy to count my total weight lost and keep claiming my highest amount lost instead of being accountable for the real scale number week by week.

Instructions are copy the line from the prior post, add or update your line, and repost back on this thread so we don't drop anyone off that wants to stay in this accountability loop. If you are new to the list, copy a line from another person to help keep the numbers aligned for readability please.

I have really struggling since Thanksgiving. My lowest weight was 132 and my goal weight is 135. I will not be satisfied till I am back down to the 135. I get so mad at myself for eating junk. I know I am a food addict, but I can't let that win.

Thanks for joining in the accountability Thread. I so am proud of you that you got to goal and now I realize that knowing how committed you were to get to goal, that I will have to face the reality too that I am a food addict too and I have been using food to soothe my stress at work. I finally asked off the project where the guy at my job was just so emotionally abusive it was driving me to eat. Hoping that situation gets better soon here in January. My boss is working on a reassignment but I have to tough it out until then without overeating.

I know you can get those pounds off -- you CAN DO IT!

Special K we have come too far to give up now. Might be some setbacks but that can just make us stronger. We will win this.

Yippee!! Lost 1 lb. this first week of January which I am super thrilled about given I have been under extreme stress still with my job. I have been following my eating and exercise plan and it looks like its helping!

I was the same weight as Oct. no weight gain since than I have lost 12lbs almost back I'm 25lbs from my goal and when I get near to it I get so scared I start to stress eat. I must get over the fear of winning this race. I have never dreamed that I would be able to wear zip up boots to my knee my legs have always been to big for tall boots. I need help to get over this hill so here goes the numbers:thumbup:. I not sure how to set it up

The scale is going in the right direction even with another very stressful week and a dose of the flu.

Hi all

This is my right weight I wish I was 149 that is to small for me I was that size when I was 16. As your body gets older being that small for me I would look like a bag of bones lol I'm 5'9" a little tall. I have been able to wear a pair of baby phat jeans and that was a big deal for me because I'm tall I had to wear men jeans and now I can wear woman jean in and size 16 HEY for me I haven't been in a 16 since I was 16 lol. It has been a good week started school this week I have been out of school for 20 years see what weight lost and new knees can do for you lol. I lost 4lbs this week that is the most in a month. I have a appt. with dr. choban this month I will need her to unfill me a little to much heartburn that is when I know I'm to tight.

How to I get the weight line to stay on my page?

I came up with a new pizza try it.

one flat wheat tortillas 130 cals, 2tbs of spaghetti sauce 45 cals hand full of flat leaf spinach 30 cals (black olives if you like them about 4 cut up) 3tbs of low fat mozzarella and provolone cheese 90 cals bake at 350 until the cheese melts in all it is about 295 cals it is a good lunch you can also add other thing you like on your pizza in small amounts that is the key SMALL AMOUNTS.

K great job on your weight lost this week you have been through a lot things are going to get better you will see. you have come through the fire and didn't get burned. you are still on the loosing side lol:laugh:( weight that is)

Back up 2 pounds this is getting frustrating. GRRRRRR

Hang in there Scrappy Friend. It will come. I am using DailyPlate to log my food and I can see a pattern where I am being really good for the day and then 1 stupid thing I do is something that was a huge hunk of calories, like a piece of cake with dinner tonight...ugh... and it was good but not worth 455 calories that DailyPlate made me put down for a single piece of basic chocolate cake, frosted. On to tomorrow.... At least I did exercise enough today to help offset that but I realize it was still empty calories that could go toward weight loss instead.

I did something similar on Wednesday eating Spaghetti with Meatballs at Fazoli's as comfort food when I had a really bad work day. I was shocked when Daily Plate told me it was like 900 calories for that.

So, for me, accountability comes from writing it all down for now and learning again that what I didn't think was so bad at the time, really was much more calories than I knew.

K we all have our days up and down so hang in there. I'm dealing with heartburn it is getting bad I'm drinking mylanta by the bottle I will have to get an unfill when I see the doctor this month. I have one more week to my appt. I still can eat small amounts my problem is ice cream feel the best going down with the hearthburn so bad and that is not good when this happened before I lost 11lbs but all I could eat was ice cream and the doctor said that is was bad weight lost:thumbdown: but this time I understand what is going on so I willn't let her take out to much this time get a little out to stop the heartburn about 1/2cc or .25cc that way I'll still be tight with no heartburn. As time goes by we learn how to manipulate the band. I'm hoping to get to where I don't have to go back to the doctor for some time. Well thanks for listening to me go on and on. Good Luck to all I will go and try your link it may work for me too.:w00t:
