Hey Larry - some how you missed me when you updated the stats. I double checked and my update did make it to the list. I know you've got your hands full...!

Thanks

Past the point of frustration. Scale has not moved more than 2 additional pounds since my post-op appointment. The only good thing is that I can see inches coming off since my clothes are getting looser weekly. My goal was to lose between 10-20 lbs this month but it is not happening. Ready for my first fill on the first of February. Hopefully I will see results on the scale then.

^{Hi..sorry I have been gone for a while... i went for a fill .5cc and my band was to tight. i eneded up getting 1.5 ccs out. i vomit every time i eat real food aka not slider food... my doc has talked to be about getting the band out and do the sleeve... i thought about it and still up in the air. i work out 2-4 times a week and i eat 1200 calories so off to the nut to check that out.. the scale is the same 213 i went into depression for 2 weeks about it i am snaped out of that 71 in a year is GREAT !! and I am happy with that... so I will be back next challenge ready to go with fire in my eyes !!!! thanks !}

71 pounds in a year is great Amy!

Keep your head up. You can do this!

last week 7lbs down to 247 ive threw a extra day of working out in there which helped

Unfort. I went to get weighed this AM and my scale needs a new battery! One of those funky ones you cannot find in CVS! lol

I will update ASAP as this is the last weigh in for the challenge!

Thanks Larry for keeping the stats!

After getting a substantial unfill in December and having very little restriction through the holidays, I gained about 8 pounds. (I made it up to 178). I managed to lose a couple pounds of it by the beginning of this challenge and have weighed 173.6 every single day for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I started a new job and the insurance kicks in Feb 1st. I plan on making an appointment for a fill asap but first, I think an upper GI is in order since I haven't had one in over a year.

Yeah!!! I beat my goal by 1lb!! Laura weighing in at 233!

Christina final weigh in 262 on the head!

I made it. With all the birthday celebrations and the holidays. I am down 10 pounds this month. My goal is to loose 10 pounds a month until I reach goal.

Total lost: 50.3

Inches from waist: 7 50 to 44

Inches from thighs: 9 56 to 47

Jean Size: 24 to 18/20

Pants Workout: 3x or 24 to Large

Shirt size: 3x to 2x

I am ready for next month, Black History and Valentine's. I feel a 10 pound victory, and hopefully a smaller size jean.

January 1: 178

January 8: 176

January 15: 173

January 22: 172

January 29: 169
