February 13, 201214 yr Almost there! About 9 more lbs left to get to 135!! It's been over 2 yrs for me Marci
February 13, 201214 yr I've been gaining and loosing the same 5 lbs for 3 months. Was at the Dr last week, both agreed I was in the Green Zone and did not need a fill. But just to see what happens he gave me 1/2cc. I've \been dropping weight like crazy, should be at my goal very, very soon. I'm a little over 12 months banded.
February 19, 201214 yr I'm at goal after 10 months. Loosing weight can be addictive, though. I am disappointed when I get on the scale now and don't see a loss!
February 25, 201214 yr I am at goal, and in maintenance. I, also, visited my surgeon this week, I had gained a lb. he did not give me a fill, as I know what I need to do. Snacks have been my nemisis, again. I was banded on Oct. 30, 2009. I met goal around a year later, can't remember when! Karen
July 24, 201214 yr I am close bmi currently 24 want to get to 22. What is your bmi at? I now only lose 2 lbs/month. I am pretty tight but i am living and enjoying summer vacations and good times! I feel great!
July 26, 201214 yr I achieved goal some time in the last three weeks (been on vacation with no scale). I've been waiting to visit this section until I reached goal. Weight loss can become addictive, can't it, Sandra? Every time I've reached a goal, I've thought "Just five or ten pounds more and then I'll stop." I made higher goals originally because I knew statistically folks lose about half the weight they need to lose and I didn't want to be overly optomistic. Now I am only 3 pounds from my weight in college and 6 pounds from losing an even hundred pounds, so I think, "Why the heck not?" My husband is on my case about being hung up about numbers and losing too much weight, but... it is only 6 more pounds, hmm?
July 26, 201213 yr Well, I have 1.5 pounds to go and I've made the 100 pounds lost so far.. I have 15.5 to go to meet the wt the dr. set for me, but 25.5 to go for the wt I set for myself.. Not quite there, but almost.. Headed on vacation tomorrow for 3 weeks, scared to death I will not lose, but gain, but I will do everything in my power to stay on track. I haven't gone off track yet, just worried about excercise because we are doing a road trip across the states so will be in the car most of the time.. wish me luck!!
July 27, 201213 yr I actually lost weight while on vacation. It was so hard to find on-the-road food that I can eat that I ended up eating a lot less than usual. I was amazed to realize how much I've always depended upon fast food on a road trip. Giving up all those hamburgers and supersized fries went a long way toward promoting weight loss for me. But even real restaurants often don't have things I can happily eat. One of my favorites is Soup, but if a place offers soup, half the time it is some form of tomato or something chock full of broccoli. Yuck.
There's got to be more of us at our goal weights?
Sigh...
