That is incredible Who'sYaDaddy. I'd be happy with 100 pounds in the first year and I don't even think I'll make that (I'm at -80 pounds with just over 2 months to go).

I had a partial unfill today so I'd better post my weight loss now. Next month might not be so pretty so I will set my goal very low. I used to look enviously on this thread at people who weighed 264 so I'm pretty happy.

I hope StaindGal and GloballyYours are OK. You are so close, I can smell it.

A month ago yesterday I was 329.

Today I got on the scale and for the first time in three years it said something beside 3 _ _.

My scale read 297.6- I hadn't weighed myself in a while bc its a good way to depress me and if I get depressed I eat, so almost two weeks ago when I looked at the scale it had gone up from 306 to 308.

So I excercised some, but mostly I have been concentrating on stopping when I am full. Thats really hard for me.

I go for my first fill April 17th...but if this continues I think I might just say "no thanks"

:thumbup:Holy Moley Ready Steady. That is an atronomical amount of weight to shed it such a short time. Your body must have been more than ready to get rid of it for good.

You must be over the moon and we are just as happy for you.:smile::lol::lol:

Even though I sprained my ankle early in the month with all the snow and ice, finally this week I was able to do a bit of treadmill! Can't wait to see the TWOs! Can't wait to get banded.

So, shall we start a new challenge for this month, April 2008? I will go ahead and post first. I am going to go very conservative this month. I have a feeling I am going to need to stop taking my HCTZ, and that is going to play some tricks on the scale.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Ready, you just copy the very last posting of the weight losses and put your personal info on the next line. Your starting weight will be your weight as of right now, or the last time you weighed yourself. And will always stay the same every time you check in. Some people post their tracking once a week and some do it more or less. It is up to you.

Let me know if you need more info. Good luck!

Not So BIG FRED

Yabba Dabba Doooooooooooooooooooo! You legend!

WELCOME TO TWOTERVILLE. You entered in such as grand fashion at 295.

:eek::smile:

:lol::):smile2::lol::thumbup:

On another note. I might pike out on this month due to band issues (fills, unfills, liquids, mushies, chocolate and the like). I will keep a close eye on everybody's progress however. 3 people got there this month, I have my fingers crossed for the rest.

Ok all you twosters or on your way to twostervilles, I need some help. I was banded on 8/24/07 and I've lost about 39 lbs. Not even sure about that. I started at 304 and am now about 265 but havent' weighed since February when I had my last fill. I have an appointment for next week for another fill. I have the large 10cc band and have 7cc's right now. I have almost enough restriction but I'm still doing the wrong things. I've been eating pretty much whatever I want unless it makes me sick and I started drinking beer again. I have no excuse and I know I'm messing up. I'm so sick of being fat. All of my friends say wow, you can really tell you've lost weight, but it has stalled so I'm sure what they're really saying is I knew it wouldn't work. I'm just disgusted by the whole thing. Maybe this isn't the right place to post this, but I want to hit that 200 mark really bad and you all are close or are already there. I just needed to vent this somewhere and landed on you guys. Congratulations on your progress. I just feel so different from all of you...I don't know why.

Elaine

I'm getting soooo close. Can't wait to see the 200's! My insurance packet was sent off this week, so hope to banded soon. I so want to be under 300 before surgery. Some sort of mental thing you know.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
