Welcome back Shirley! We missed you!

I made it to 189.8 today!! Ha ha...I made it, barely.

kilopitre I think we're not supposed to gulp because once we're filled to the right amount if we gulp it will just come right back up. It hasn't happened to me yet...and I do have a tendency to gulp my Water. Just be careful. ;)

Thanks so much, I was just hoping it would not hurt anything. It never came back up. Maybe I'm not gulping as much as I thought. Congrats on getting down to 189!:rose:

Well It has been a long week.. I was having a bad day this week.. I noticed more of my hair was coming out.. I was getting depressed.. and I became iratable.. i jumped on everyone.. felt like crying.. just bummed.. I called my dietician..and she told me to try Biotin pills or zinc and I would notice a difference.. well I have been on them for 5 days.. and I have.. I feel a little better.. my hair is not coming out like it was..

I looked for the muscle milk at GNC things like that.. and it was very $$$$.. I will have to look on ebay..

Jimboss you are sooo funny.. and the (I can't remember who it was) the cat story.. I laughed..

I had my 2nd fill and since then .. I have not been able to eat dinner.. it gets stuck.. and I PB.. Breakfast and lunch and Snacks are no problem..

I went to an Ear, Nose , throat dr this week also.. and I have to have my tonsils out.. I am 37.. he said it will be harder for me.. than if I was younger.. he said I will loose about 10 pounds.. that is fine.. I will be on liquid diet again..

Christine, I had my tonsils out at age 22 and it was hard. But they say you will lose weight, but i didn't. Good ol' me was hungry that night and by God, I had pizza....okay, not the smartest idea....it hurt...the next day. Warm liquids was all i could eat for about 5 days or so. Anything made with milk or that was thick, i couldn't swallow. Made too thick of a mucus to go down.

Anyway, enough about my mucus...lol

I am down another pound today....yeah me!!

Finally some movement on the scale. Okay so maybe it was the most recent fill, maybe it was getting back on meds for my insulin resistance, or maybe, just maybe it is the 2 day stomach bug i have....lol....if you know what i mean.....I'm not full of crap...people..lol...gross.

Whatever...I am happy, I am back down to my wedding weight of 1.5 years ago.

Well I'm still at 189.8! So I'm down 8.8 for the challenge. I started my period today (sorry Jim) so I'm probably going to fluctuate this week a bit with Water gain. And I'm going to Pittsburgh for the long weekend...and I'll probably drink too much there. Don't judge me, I'll be on vacation. :) Long story short, I'm glad I'm still in the 180s today.

I think St. Pat's might be too soon for a challenge since it's just over a month away...maybe Easter. I think it's on April 8. I think that's like 7 weeks or so. What does everyone think?

Easter works for me. Wouldn't you know I would have to hit my first plateau right in the middle of the Valentines day challenge. Hope the scale starts moving soon. However, I have noticed a huge difference in my body shape. Just tried on a pair of jeans today that I wore a month ago and I was swimming in them. Must be the exercise. I say let's shoot for 10 lbs.? Have a great week all!!!!!

I think April 8th will work for a challenge date, and I'm up for either 10 or 15 pounds! :)

So I took a progress pic, and as horrified as I am to show my before photo, I thought I would post. The before pic was a couple days before surgery and the other pic was from Friday night. I would love to see progress pics of other Oct Bandsters. Please post!!!

chrispy! wow wow wow! you look great!

shirley, welcome back, hope your recovery is very quick!

regarding muscle milk - i have been drinking it for a week about 30 - 60 mins before my workout (just 1 a day). i do have the regular muscle milk (not lite because i burn between 600 - 900 cals a workout). the peanut butter/chocolate is really good. i tried the banana creme today and it was OK. i will not be getting it again though.

cheapest i have found is on Amazon.com. it is under 20 bucks for a 2.?? pound tub. i think it is the reason i've lost 4.75 pounds last week.

ok ... pictures. i posted on the before/after board, but here it is again. 4 months and 2 days i am down 80.25 pounds thanks to working my ass off at the gym.

      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.
