20 lbs to my goal weight!!!! WooHoo! I'm soo excited. I hope I can get to it before my bandiversary. Then on to the maintenance phase. Which is just as hard or harder than losing to me.

Thanks for all the support.

You're an inspiration to all of us! Congrats!!!

Carbgirl, congratulation on your progress. You are so right about maintenance being difficult....we know how to gain and we know how to lose, but staying the same can be uncharted territory. With daily weight fluctuations I would get very nervous and tense until I gave myself a range of 3 pounds. If I exceed those 3 pounds I get back to strict logging of food and exercise and examination of where I might have gone wrong.

Good luck and best wishes.

Mimi,

I totally agree. I will also give myself a 3 lb range. Anything above that I will be back and on track. In the past, when I've gained alot of weight I attribute most of it due to not weighing myself on a regular basis. Before I knew it, I'd be 50 lbs over weight. It was denial and I would avoid the scale. I can't let myself do that again. I will never be one of those skinny people that don't have to be vigilant and monitor every pound.

Congrats, carbgrl!!! That's so wonderful! I have been about 35 away from goal for the past 3 weeks LOL I feel like it's never going to happen. I'm honestly going by the book and working out, drinking tons of water, making protein requirements, etc. I am hanging in there though. That blasted scale has to move sometime, right?!?

Congrats again! Wonderful job! You'll be there before you know it!

Congrats!!!

Maintenance shmaintenance. I plan on just losing until I can weigh myself on a kitchen scale.

BTW Btrieger--Your weightloss so far WITHOUT your band is very admirable. Congrats on your upcoming surgery. With how much you have put into this prior to surgery, I am sure you will be a success story
