Can't remember what I was last week, but here it is already eight weeks out, and I'm down 31 pounds since surgery and 47 including my preop diet. I lost well this week as it was my TOM. I've decided that's something to now look forward to since twice now I've lost during that week! HA!

I am 195 at the gym today! (194 with my clothes off, but, that is TMI and I don't care to verify it! ha) yea me!

Nana509 drink your protein. seriously. double up on it, cut back on the carbs a little. and do 5 min extra exercise a day. all will help you go go go girl!

Carolyn- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Twobluecats- you're rocking that sleeve, great job!

Bella-welcome to our weekly weigh-in (sometimes Mondays, Sundays, Tuesdays, whenever;-)

Nana-I'm sure the constipation has a lot to do with your stall, I am the same exact way. Good luck on getting things moving again!

6 weeks out today. I stepped on the scale and........238.6!!!!!!! I'm out of the 240s! :blushing: Not that big a deal, but I was ready to move on, LOL! That means I've lost 25.8 lbs in 6 weeks. I'm cool with that! :lol0:

Excellent job MidwestGirl...it is a BIG DEAL to get out of the 240's!!!

Today I weighed in at 147 pounds. That's 1.5 lbs. down from last Monday.

Awesome work, ladies. I'm at 249 today, which is three pounds down from last Monday. I'll take it as the slowing will begin with my vicious menstral cycle. I always seem to slow for two weeks before I begin. Then, I lose well two weeks.....repeat.....

Can someone tell me how to get my weight loss ticker on my profile??? I think it is awesome to watch it go down! I have lost about 35 pounds in 4 weeks and I want to watch it drop more!! =)

As many of you know, I was considered a "lightweight" with a BMI of 32.5. However, with today's weigh in, I'm out of the obese category and into overweight. I am wearing a pair of pants that I haven't worn in who knows how long. Yahoo!!!!!

I haven't had my sleeve yet, but i have lost 4 pounds this week doing low carb getting ready for my surgery. I'm not trying to lose too much prior to surgery, more trying to get used to low carb.

Hi all,

I'm joining in, 4 weeks post-op and I've lost 30 lbs. I'm loving my sleeve.

Brenda

I love reading this thread and congratulations on all of the successes you are experiencing each week!

Click on anybody's ticker found in their signature and then click on the tab to create your own ticker. After you've filled out the information and click next it will take you to a page where you can copy a code (you want the bbcode) and then you put that code into your signature here at VST (you do that by clicking on customize profile.

You're all doing so well! Way to go! Congrats DeeDee on getting to goal! :thumbup:Isn't the sleeve great!

Well i finally broke my stall. Weighed in at 157.4 today. Sat. was my 6 month surgiversary. I'm down a total of 93 lbs!

Bought a size 8 jeans yesterday. Down from a size 22.

202 this morning! Am so excited to be approaching the 100's....the anticipation is helping me stick to my diet! Thanks everyone for all your support on this awesome journey...it is great to have so many sleevesisters.

MidWestgirl:I am so glad you posted. I could not find this thread yesterday for some goofey reason!

I am doing the happy dance. I am dancing for all of you and your success'. Get up right now and do it with me. Just 8 counts. Come on.

I am at 194. -1lb from last week. Plus, a 6 week measurement revealed a 9" loss. I am gonna brag here, only one, a 32.5 inch waist. Me.

my 4 month surgiversary was yesterday. -58 lbs overall.

Only 29 lbs to goal.

Now, I am going to have to step up the exercize to get to goal by June. One lb a week will not do it. So, I have to exercize on a daily basis. I have only been doing 3 times a week. It is up to me. I have to work with the sleeve to get better/faster results.

I am still just so happy for us all. Just silly.

I love my sleeve, and, I love my sleeve sisters!

I know it's Tuesday but I had to share! BROKE the week long stall - finally! I'm actually quite grateful that it was only a week! Yipppeeee! Hit 229 today - haven't seen that number in a long time. Added a 45 minute bike ride to the repertoir and, I think moving to mushies has helped.

It's actually been quite the last couple of days; found out that a hard boiled egg eaten quickly does NOT count as a mushy - found that out the very painful, slimy way. Will my sleeve ever forgive me??? I'm so sorry oh Great Sleeve Master!!! Then, had my first real BM in almost a month! TMI, sorry. :thumbdown: And - as most know by now, discovered how very important acid reducers are in regards to "hunger". What a ride it's been already!!

Yay!
