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.

Good job!!

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!

I'd take that pattern, too! Looking forward to when we can congratulate you on 100 pounds lost!

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 !

Yeah Vicky. Have a good trip.

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 ....loss 0

Checking in today at 281 (down 2.4 from last week).

I am so happy with this number because I was on a business trip last week and unsure what my food choices would be. Luckily, I was in Tampa so there was a lot of fresh seafood on the menu at each restaurant we went to and the city is laid out such that we walked to the restaurants instead of driving. Also, I didn't need a seatbelt extender for the first time in years!! I don't know if I will make my challenge goal but I would REALLY like to get out of the 280's by next week...

'Morning ya'll! Hope everyone is doing well.

va_viv checking in with a loss for a 2nd week in a row...yay! After being at a standstill for almost 3 weeks I'm glad to have back to back loss.

Checking in at 212...3 lb loss!

Sorry all I have been having internet issues this past week. My weigh in is 265... for the 4th week in a row...

Hello and Happy Weighin Day!

Joan~ 215.4 (down 1#) finally, lol

hello all!!

checking in at 194.4lbs today - down 4lbs since last week.

This also puts me under my Feb goal of 195lbs

I got my 2nd fill on Thursday. Another 2.5ccs on top of 4.5ccs from first fill. I didn't feel a thing after that first fill but this one is a doozy. I know I'm banded now. However, I did have my first slime/PB experience on Saturday. uh, gross.

cheers,

chloe

beckyrlnd checking in.

I'm at 260 today, so down 6 pounds, dunno if i'll reach my goal, but I'm pretty happy with this so far!

WOW, I am so happy to see that this was a great week for most of the Sweethearts!

Keep those weights coming.

Thank you to Lindsey for doing our stats.

Hi Tami checking in. I'm at 209.6 for a few days now, but haven't been too active due to spending a lot of time in school gyms this week and weekend for wrestling. Hope to get it moving a little bit more this week.

Great work everyone with their losses. Lets keep up the hard work.
