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??

Lisa..I think we are all i nthe same boat as you..I cant wait for all of this Holiday goodies crap to be over! I'm scheduling for a fil lsince I can eat alot more these days and the scale is showing it

The part that worries me is that even when there are no more holiday goodies at home, I start digging in the cupboards and raiding my friends' house. Now that my body is used to sugar and fat again, it's craving it. I'm right back to the old viscious cycle of being addicted to crap like before being banded. Gee, don't ya just love Christmas? NOT.

Somehow I didn't gain from last week. But I seriously need to go to a "Betty Ford Junk Food Detox Center"! I'm going to have to relearn how to eat like a Bandster.

Marie,

I'll help you defray the cost and share a room. I need it too.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan work there Jack??? I can pack if it does.

I am new to this challenge but willing to take it on. This is where I slack. I don't weigh myself each week. I don't like the scale I have first of all. So I am going to go out today and purchase me a digital scale. I will start this challenge Saturday the 1st as i am doing for the water challenge and exercise. I have to start this year off right. It's been 2months since surgery I have only lost 12 lbs. I have got to sxtep it up and do right.

290/278 the last time i weighed in which has been over a month/140

Selicia and everyone else, I am at WAR WITH FOOD. I weighed 250 this morning and the scale is on an upward climb. Enough is enough. Thank God the first of the year is around the corner. Starting New Years Day I'll be making calls every single night. I have a lot of phone numbers, but if you want a call send me your phone number in a Private Message and I'll add you to my list.

My biggest screw up is giving up my morning protein shakes. The only way my life works is if I have a protein shake for breakfast, a good band lunch, dinner, then ONE SMALL evening snack like an ice cream sandwich, then I feel great and lose weight. FEEL GREAT AND LOSE WEIGHT, FEEL GREAT AND LOSE WEIGHT, FEEL GREAT AND LOSE WEIGHT, ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY, FEEL GREAT AND LOSE WEIGHT.....

I think someone's losing her marbles. Better check my microchip.

Jack, go to the store in your slippers and pass out lollypops. That will impress your friends tremendously.

Me, too, Lisa! I'm going to continue "eating my way across Texas" through this weekend. Then Monday, I'm keeping that tuna salad made up in the frig., so I'll grab it instead of the blackberry cobbler I've become horrible addicted to. Yeah, I did good when I had my one daily snack. I was satisfied.

Well, 2005 is a fresh start for all of us!

Did she really say "blackberry cobbler" and where the hell can I get some in Vegas before Sunday??????????????????//

I'm right there with you folks. I wouldn't even go to the doctors this week to weight because I felt certain I had gained 10 lbs since last week. Today I finally mustered up the courage to weight on a customers scale that has always been accurate and I actually did stay the same. Thank GOD!!! I really did not want to have to relose that much extra gainage. I also haven't been to water aerobics for weeks due to one reason or another and I need to rededicate myself to that. I'll be glad when all the boxes of goodies are out of my house too. Its been killer... Best of luck to you all and here's to a NEW YEAR! Teresa

Monday Jan 3rd

Up 1/2 lb, first time since banding I have had a gain..

I'm mad and on a mission!!! GRRRR..

Today is a New Week and a New year! I have set 3 daily goals to follow to help me get back on the losing trend..and a fill is in the making.

Sorry Michelle... but let me tell ya... I have you beat... I'm up 6 lbs and I just want to sit down a cry myself a river. So... hopefully I will get myself together and work with my band... but I can't help thinking... I couldn't get myself together before the band... *sigh* what's the diff now...

I'm going to go pout now...

Darcy

No gain or loss for me, although I think the only reason I didn't lose was because I was so sick I couldn't eat much. I ate all the wrong things so that has to be the reason. I am back on track today!

Come on y'all, together we can do this. Let's eat like bansters today!

Darcy that's why I'm not going to weigh today. I had several things with salt, ham, beans, etc and I know I'm holding fluid, which is probably what you're doing. Don't get discouraged and re-evaluate what you've eaten the last few days, a lot of salt? Don't be too hard on yourself, those lbs will prob be gone in a couple of days.
