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.

still up and down but at least staying in the lower 140's now would love to be back in the 130's by next friday.

Chugging along like a little turtle but going in the right direction!

Good job special K. I'm staying in the low 140's most days hoping to be under 140 soon.

I had a solid drop to hit my -133 lbs mark and then have bounced up and down a bit this week. Going to buckle down and make sure that 221 number sticks and keep going down from there!

Celebrated my 2 year bandiversary this past week.

Was down to 139 yesterday morning back up to 140 this morning, I guess I should have left the cake alone. Oh well will keep working at it.

I'm bouncing up right now and I think it is due to the amount of heavy yard work so maybe my sore muscles are retaining some water weight? I really haven't been eating badly so that is all I can figure. Just keep working it one day at a time. Still on track for my BR surgery April 22. I'm trying to get as much exercise and yard work in before that because I know I'm going to be limited for most of May and maybe into June for any major lifting stuff.

I haven't posted to this accountability thread in a while but I do want to get on track and hold myself accountable to keep going downward now that I am past my BR surgery. I am so hoping that as the summer comes, I can get the level of activity I hope the BR will let me have, and the pounds will go down a little more quickly.

I've been on this same set of numbers for what feels like forever and it is definitely my own fault - splurged on carbs and sugary things while I was recovering from surgery since my sister was here and loves all those things too. Back on track this week pretty well now that I am back to a normal working schedule.

Feels good to see progress! It does seem like my body gives up a couple pounds, then bounces up and down around that number for awhile then lets me lose another lb or two! Just glad to be moving on down! I had hoped to lose 40 lbs in 2010 and that would be about 20 lbs in 6 months ending June 30 so I gotta get to 212 to make that goal according this this tracker thread.

Sounds like great progress! After July 4th I want to get filled again. I am on a backslide of a few pounds and want to lose 30lbs before I go on a cruise in November! Great to hear your posts!
