Happy Monday to all of you...

I want to start a scale challenge...this is for all of you (including myself ) that get on that scale more then once a week...

Today I have made the challenge to myself to only get on it every Monday morning..

As of this morning my weight is 229

This is a great way to not obsess with what the scale reads through out the week if I have some challengers to do it with me

Next weigh in Monday 7/27

Any takers??

Hellllo Monday! Well, I can finally join in with you guys for the monday weigh in .Gosh I'm so excited!! Ok, I know that the first few weeks after being banded is for healing and settling in, and that any weight loss during this time is bonus, but....it's been 9 days now (still on liquids) and I am down a couple pounds... well ok 11.5 to be exact! Whoo hoooo!!!! I am sure this will slow and even jump a bit when I start mushies so I am already putting that in the back of my mind not to be disappointed but today, whoo I am so happy!

I though over the weekend, being with everyone that I would see a gain, especially since I was put on solids, and I had some wine too. I got on the scale this morning and I am down 2 more pounds!

:banana :banana :banana I MADE IT TO ONE-DERLAND!!!!!

199.75

1.5 LBS LOSS FOR ME THIS WEEK

Congratulations to all of you losers this week...Way to go Darcy, Greg & Betty. You are al ldoing fantastic!

WOO-HOO!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW Michelle!!!! ((((hugs))))

I'm hiding. Too much Mexico, too much fun. Too, too much. Up many pounds. Mucho mucho.

-6 pounds. So glad to finally quit juggling that 2 - 3 lbs. back and forth for the last month! Great job everyone! Keep up the good work!

this is the first i'm hearing about the monday weigh in.... some info please...... congrats about all the weight loss, and about seeing a one infront of the rest of the numbers on the scale..... yeeeeeeeah..... Ro

Marie, is that 6 lbs in a week? That must feel wonderful. I haven't lost that much in a week since surgery.

I think my 2cc fill is going to do me just fine for a little while... it is that time of the month, so I should probably be up this morning, but I am down .5 lbs... brings me to 236.5.

Have a great week!

Greg,

Thank you for the "pick-me-up"! I didn't lose any weight this week either but I have found out why, I'm pregnant. Well, that is what two home pregnancy tests showed. Now I guess I have to get unfilled. I am so afraid. I know I will immediately gain the 31 pounds I have lost. I have found comfort in knowing that I can get a fill after my child is born. I am mostly afraid of having problems with my baby. I have diabeters and I am sure I have to do major controlling now. Well, I will see my doctor later today.

Veronica: OUR FIRST BANDSTER BABY. Oh my gosh you will have so many aunts, uncles, grandmothers (ME), grandfathers, etc to get you through this time. I am so excited for you. Concentrate on the baby for now and we will help you through this.

I weighed myself this morning. Then I realized I had eaten breakfast before weighing. I still showed a 1 lb loss. So in actuality I could have lost more but for now I am only counting the 1 lb loss. WHOO HOO!!!

I still think exercise and water are the key to jump starting your loss again. That is what did it for me.

Congrats to all losers and to the gainers or no losers time can change everything.

Ro, you can pick any day of the week that works for you. Just stay off that scale for a full week! It's hard at first, but it really saves your sanity once you get used to it.

V, Congratulations on the pregnancy! You'll have a much healthier pregnancy w/ that 31 pounds gone upfront. Now, just concentrate on eating healthy, consistent exercise, and having a beautiful, healthy baby! Your band will be there waiting on you when you are ready to use it again. This is the first "bandster baby" since I've been here. Please keep in touch so we can follow your progress. Best of luck to you!

Sass, I've had some pain problems recently, unfills, gains. So that 6 lbs. was way past due. I think my body was just playing "catch up."

Best of luck to everyone this week!

I seem to always be short on my water intake. But I didn't feel like riding my bike for about 2 1/2 weeks. Now, I'm back and feel so much better when I do (physically and emotionally).

Veronica, you're the first one I know that's going through pregnancy on these boards (I've only been around 6 months) so I'm super excited for you. I'm 42 and was never blessed with babies, so I hope this is a smooth and easy process. Good luck to you, and stay band-positive. xo

Congrats to all of you that lost! Marie - 6 pounds is fantastic!

Veronica - Congrats on the baby! You will do fine, and we'll try to keep you in line! lol
