October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, are you ready to start the new year? I am excited on what is to come. JDru I haven't noticed the stretch marks looking bigger but I have noticed my stomach seems jigglier (sp). I guess that means that I need to start exercising, like I should of been doing all along. I'm going to do my weekly weigh in tomorrow, I hope that the scales decides to go down this week, for some reason it liked to stay in one spot for the past two weeks... hmm I don't know why.:heh:

Happy New Year to all my fellow Oct Bandsters. 2007 will be a great year for us! Many of us will hit our goal weight, but we will all continue to lose weight and become healthier. That is a wonderful gift.

Here is my weigh in for the Valentine's Day Challenge. Down 2, 13 more to go!

I can't believe it! It took a nastey head cold, to clear my head, so that I could figure out how to put my ticker up on the board. Unreal. Boy do I feel bad, "and DUMB!!!" Shirley...

It figures that I am the only one who has the obvious stretch marks. Ha ha! They aren't really bigger, just more noticeable.

Yay Shirley...you got your ticker to work and you've lost 142 pounds in just over a year!!

So I weighed in this morning for our challenge and I'm down 1.4 pounds. I feel like I'm losing SO slowly, but at least I haven't really gained over the holidays...I certainly couldn't say that last year! I have a feeling that this week will be great for me, I really need to get back on track.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!

Well, I just got back from the gym and am down 2 lbs. towards the Valentine's weight loss challenge. I have also exercised 4 times this week. That's a miracle. I feel really motivated right now and it has alot to do with all my October bandbabies. Thanks for the encouragement and keep up the good work. HAPPY NEW YEAR :cocktail:

I only made 15 minutes before wanting to throw myself down the stairs! man that machine kicks my butt. i did about 8 minutes of stretching and my 3pound hand weights too but... its that machine i wanted to tackle. i bought a headphone extension so i can watch something on my laptop while using my machine.

Wow!!!! talk about a shock, listen to this.

When I first started on my weight loss journey, 10/05 I wore a 5x "and in stretch pants of course." Today I went back to work,"after a week off." and noticed that my pants were kinda baggy. So, into the smaller size cloths I went. I can't believe it

i'm in a size 18. I haven't worn that in years. So I looked in the Mirror, and these Jeans look great. I no it's not like a size 2 or 4 or something like that, but wow what a difference. I can finally say Shirley, your'e starting to look damn good. Just thought I would share this moment with you all.

Shirley:amen:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
