Katie, 30lbs is great! I know we all want the miraculously fast weight loss, but honestly very few get that. Your excersize is more for maintaining your muscle and cardiovascular health than for weightloss. 30 minutes on the treadmill is I think somewhere in the neihgborhood of 300-400calories, so it's not going to make a huge impact to your loss as far as a pound per day or anything. It takes a week to walk off a pound if you are vigilant about walking everyday. Remember slow and steady wins the race :)

Insub, when you only weigh once a week or even less it can be very difficult to determine where you are really at with your weight. I weigh everyday so I see the Water fluctuations and the difference sometimes even between morning, afternoon and night! It is a good study if it doesn't discourage you. For example on Tuesday I weighed 277, then yesterday (wed) I was 278.5 and then today I was 276.5. Now we all know that that is not possible in terms of body fat loss and gain. Especially since I stayed within my calorie range all of those days and for a good week prior. It was Water flux pure and simple. Now I have seen my water flux go as high as 5lbs! For some that is a months work of weight loss. Imagine if the flux happened on the one weigh day per month or week and they thought they gained instead of lost! How discouraging that would be. If you don't weigh yourself at home take out a tape measure and measure everything! and track it. Now inches don't come off as quickly as pounds. For me it is about 10lbs per inch, but it is a very reliable way to track your loss.

Hi everyone! You guys are all doing so well.

I had a doctor's appointment this morning...my doctor quit last night. So, I had to see a new doctor. He was nice but I need my "real" doctor, darn it! I have spent almost a year and a half working with him and now he's gone just like that??? This truly was one of my worst fears....to lose my doc before I finished.. WOW...I'm still in shock. He was just such a wonderful source of information and support and encouragement. I'm not sure I'll get that same level of care any more...just when I need it most too. Sorry...just having a little pity party over here tonight.

Wow! You guys are doing so great! I am so inspired by you. Wouldn't you know as close as I am to hitting twoterville, started TOM and whammy +3 and I haven't weighed since. I am waiting until I am completely free of it and have drank so much Water I feel my organs floating in it. The morning after that, I will weigh myself. I will let all of you beautiful people know. If I am still not in the 2's its not the end of the world. I go in for my 5th fill sept. 6th and I think it will really be the one. Well, happy Tuesday, you guys really do inspire me.

KT

Christine-Can you overdo Water? I used to be able to drink so much, the band has slowed it down some.

Also have a question for everyone, when are you considered a slow loser? Can I even be a slow loser yet, because it hasn't even been 5 months since my surgery? I have had 4 fills in my 9.75 band, I am getting my 5th on Sept. 6th. I know this one will be the one because I started to feel restriction on this last one. It is a journey and it seems to be getting easier to understand that it takes a long time for it to happen.

I love tips and advice of what works for other people, so don't hesitate to PM me or post here. This is my favorite thread.

Thanks! KT

Katie,

there always the possibility of Water intoxication ... that's why i never suggest drink all you physically can. i know there was a radio contest where some lady died from H2O intox...

re - slow loser? i wouldnt really worry about your rate of loss. it is going down... are you doing everything you should be doing? eating well and exercising? if yes, they you are doing great. if not, there are areas to work on .. :rolleyes:

It's been a while and I keep meaning to come on to update it. I finally had a huge plateau break through. We were at a support meeting and a lady who is a long time bandster was on a soap box about people who say they just can't stop drinking with meals. She went on about you can do anything if you try and being one who used that excuse it hit home. I have tried to break that habit this month with the challenge and happy to say while not yet to Twoterville I am just outside the city limits. I made my personal 6 month goal of 100 so I was thrilled. 1 more to go to move inside the city limits!!!! :whoo:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
