Ok August All Stars - How is everyone doing this week? I'm down 4 pounds from last week. I can't believe it. I've been working pretty hard this week and I love the results. Thanksgiving day was not bad for me and I'm glad I got through it under my calorie goal and ate tons of Protein. Yesterday.... well that's a different story. Every once in while I have a day where I'm just hungry all day long. I ate around 1700 calories yesterday. That's very high for me since I ususally stick to around 1000/day. I guess I'll be doing some heavy activity today to pay for that

Hope you all had a great week and a totally wonderful Thanksgiving. We have 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas and I know we all have goals we want to reach before then.

Love you guys!

I am down 3.8 lbs from 2 weeks ago. I am out of the 160's and entered into the 150's! Woot! Woot! Thanksgiving was just fine. I really love my sleeve! :biggrin:

Another great week here! I lost 3.4 lbs this week, weighing 216.6 lbs this morning. I am very excited, considering this week was Thanksgiving and my TOM

Hope you all are rockin your sleeves! Have a great week friends!!!

I checked back to my last check-in and I'm down 2 lbs i the last two weeks The weight is just coming off soooo sloooowwwlllyyyy.

But I had a very nice NSV yesterday. I bought some pants at Coscto, which was an NSV in itself (they don't sell plus sizes!). But I didn't just need the 18's, the 16's fit. So, I decide to head back later in the day with my mom, and decided to get a pair of 14's, to use as a next set of goal pants. Brought then home and tried them on to see how far before I could get them fastened, and THEY FIT!! I WAS ABLE TO FASTEN THEM!! Without even laying down on the bed!! I fit in a size 14. What's ridiculous is that I've been wearing some of the same brand in 18's. Yeah, they are a bit loose, but I guess I need to pay more attention to how loose!

So, even though the scale is being a b***h, the inches are still coming off. Going to take measurements this weekend too.

Still in the hospital here. Guessing I haven't lost or gained. They have me on about 1000 calories in the feeding tube plus the IV fluids. Thanksgiving was a breeze, being NPO :ihih:

I'm down 58 plus pounds since I started my pre-op diet. Have only lost about 8 pounds in November. I shouldn't say only, because that's still darn good!

I'm down 2 pants sizes since the beginning of the month. So, instead of 26/28, I'm in a 20/22. Also, my shirts are getting way too big. I'm working on a closet purge this weekend.

Libbe, Here's hoping that you get out of that darn hospital soon! Are you at least losing weight since you're on IV food? That would be some kind of bonus, I guess.

WE ROCK!! Look how well we're doing with losing weight and being more active! I'm proud of us all!

Hi everyone! I am down 35 pounds since surgery and 80 pounds all together. I need to lose about 30 more to reach my goal of 130. I weighed in this morning at 161.4. I am so excited to be able to wear smaller clothes and feel good in them. This journey is so amazing, I am floating on a cloud. I am averaging about 10 lbs a month and that is just perfect for me. I feel healthy and strong!

Well, take care everyone and God Bless!

Hugs,

Shell

I am down 2.4 lbs this week to 191.8 - just 2 ounces shy of my Thanksgiving goal. I hope to get into the 180's by next week - haven't been there in about 13 years! I had a great NSV yesterday. I am a singer and do a lot of gigs every Nov/December with people that I only really see during that time of year. I sang with one of the women last night and she asked me if I had lost some weight. I told her that I had lost 50 lbs and she said that when had I arrived at the gig she didn't even recognize me. That made me feel great!

I lost nothing last week. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Nothing. The past little bit I have slowed down to a snails pace. I feel much better now. I am still 47lbs down since surgery....I just hoped I wouldn't slow down so much this early in the game.

I havent really lost anything either.... I am 47 pounds down too. I am down 2 lbs for the Month of november... ughhh.... Just soooo slow. I have been bouncing between 187 and 188 for two weeks now. I dont think I am going to make my Xmas goal. I still have about 13 pounds to go for that! Dangit! My nut says keep doing what I am doing and it will come off... she promises... hmmph!
