Checking in ! I weighed yesterday and I'm at 365 ! 5lbs lost

Hello,

I'm happy to see that most of us lost this week and that all of us are heading in the right direction with our motivation, goal setting and attitudes. Keep up the good work!

Hello! I had a pretty good week. I am down 3 pounds. I know it sounds crazy but I reduced my workouts some and on the days I did workout I tried to eat a little more. I think our bodies need a little break sometimes.

I agree that when we mix things up it keeps our bodies/metabolism guessing.

Sorry all it's been a busy day today! I maintained this week but I have stopped drinking with my meals. Finally! I've also been timing my meals and stop at 20 minutes even if I'm not at that full sensation yet. I've also picked up a new hobby. Believe it or not it's Metal Detecting! I get to hunt treasure and get exercise at the same time. I LOVE it! I do it with one of my other friends and she's loving it too. All the walking and arm work and then squatting to dig what treasure I have found. Simply amazing. Ok done blabbing! Hope everyone has a good week!

What a fun way to get exercise, share fun with a friend and potentially get rich. too!

Hi Tami checking in at 213.0 as of yesterday morning! WHOOHOOOO I'm officially down 50lbs!!! Thanks for all the motivation.

CONGRATULATIONS on your 50# loss!! That is awesome!

Have a great day, Joan

Im probably not fair game here since im in my 1st week of banded. However I was a good girl and never strayed from my post op diet so I wanna put my lose in here I know Im a day late so I will put yesterdays weight in not todays

Mondays weight = a -9.2 loss.

SO STOKED!

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Its because I had nothing good to report :-( Its been a tough couple of days for me. Trying not to beat myself up but its been frustrating. Today was better. I'm up a couple pounds but I never mark the weight increases (unless its significant). As long as the trend is downwards, Im happy with it. Hopefully I'll have something good to report next week. We'll see.

hello all... i just wanted to stop in and say i had my first fill yesterday 1.5cc's then went and worked 8 hrs as a server ( ugg) hate this job ! then came home and did my 35 min workout !! I was sore but I want to do this challange right !!!

congrats on the 50 lb wl !! cant wait till i can say that !

have a great rest of the week ....

Good morning everyone. Tami checking in at 211.6 this morning. Ii've got a new exercise dvd workout coming today. Looking forward to try that this evening after work.

TKW = 338

WOW down six pounds. I have been on the wierdest pattern. I'll go 2-3 weeks and struggle with the same one or two pounds then I'll get on the scale one day and be down 6-8 pounds, then I'll go up and down 1-2 pound for a couple of weeks and then bang... down 6-8. This has been going on for 3 months. Crazy, but I'll gladly take it!!!

6 pounds till I hit 100 pounds lost!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

Checking in with my weigh in for this morning...

Vicky~283.4 (down 1.4 from last week). Overall, I'm happy with this considering I didn't exercise at all during the week. I leave today for a 3 day business trip (my first since being banded). I am interested to see if I still need a seat belt extender after having lost almost 42 lbs and to see if my band tightens up when I fly like a lot of people's do. There is a fitness center in my hotel so hopefully I can squeeze in some treadmill time...including my workout clothes when packing is a first for me !

Good morning all ....I am down 4 lbs!!! I did get a fill on the 8th and I got the wii biggest loser game and i have been working out everyday with that !! WHOO HOO !!!

amy 234.5
