I am so glad for this challange! It makes me be accountable, which is just what I need!

Thanks,

Down 2lbs--I am happy about that since I did not get my second fill as planned. However, I really have got to get back on my exercise routine. I only exercised once last week and the week before that.

I'm so frustrated no weight loss (or gain) for 2 weeks. I'm being good really I am!!!!!!!! My goal is to exercise more this week. Something has got to give.

No weight loss this week...I hope I can get a fill on Wed every time I visit the dr he seems to think I'm too tight.... I haven't had a fill since August and I no its time.

I am grateful for the minus 2 this week, but I am having a tough time. I am constantly hungry, the last fill did nothing and I am officailly in bandster hell! I have a fill for two weeks from Wednesday but I may call and see if I can get in earlier.

No lost this week. I had my first fill last Thursday, it has helped a bit, but not as much as I thought it would. I just have to be strong and stick to a decent food plan.

Down 2 more - yay! I am extra proud since I was traveling all week and always find it so hard when eating meals out. Just had my third fill a couple of days ago but unfortunately, still no restriction. Sigh!

and one more to get the spreadsheet onto the next page

Just moving the spreadsheet up! :thumbup:

Finally, finally broke throught my plateau - no loss or gain for 2 weeks now down 4. Yeah..... I was soooooo discouraged. Best news of my week - needed smaller jeans so went to look for one of my boxes of smaller clothes (I have several boxes in several sizes) My daughter says to me oh my god mum those are too big put a belt on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made my day.

Less than a pound to go! We're going camping next weekend with a canoe trip and hiking involved so I'd like to think that 1 pound would be a piece of cake! However, as we all know there are weeks when we're darn near perfect and lose nothing so I won't hold my breath.

TOM strikes again this week, so I was afraid to even step on the scale. I got a decent start before he showed up, though, so down 3.4 lbs.:thumbup:

I was down another pound this week on Saturday morning but after the weekend it disappeared and i went back to where I was. I'm bound and determined for 3 lbs this week so no snacks. It's funny how I get upset about my eating when I know I didn't eat exactly as I should. Before the band I would have considered my eating this weekend to be depriving myself.

Holy crap! I lost 4.4lbs this week! :thumbup: And the only thing I did differently was eat more! I was keeping myself around 850-900 cals a day and I was walking around 2 miles a day. I upped it to 1100 and voila! :thumbup: I surpassed my 10lb goal by 1.4lbs!

WooT!! Below my goal for the challenge!! Now to at least maintain it for the next week :thumbup:!!!!

So frustrated!!!! Yesterday I was still at 308 this morning 311.....What the heck? How in the heck do you gain 3 lbs in 1 freaking day? It is not even that time of the month. That is not until next week. I just hope the fill I get this week helps even just a little.
