22.3 pounds to go, weight wont go down if i'm not on plan ...

anyone else??

Numbr - I didn't start at 29:20. Keep at it!! You will get there! I never thought I would be running. Now I'm addicted!!

I'm staying on plan because I am out of the 170's and into the 160's - FINALLY. I don't want to ever see the 170's again!

for the first time since banding in Feb, I went UP in weight this week! ARGHHHHH!!! I know it is temporary, I know it will go down again, but I need to stay on plan and NOT get discouraged (too much!)

My head is on straight (for once) and I will succeed.

Because I have 3 Months 3 weeks till the beaches of Kauai

I have to, I just have to.

I'm staying on plan "the rest of the day" because I just ate at Olive Garden for lunch and that is never good - for you that is, good tasting but not the best for your waistline. I want to hit my goal of 145 by my 2 yr anniversary and I'm so close, but yet so far......

i'm staying on plan because my son is home from the hospital and it is time to refocus and get giong again.

I am staying on plan because my wedding is in 3.5 months!

I have a clinic appointment on Monday; I want the scale to move DOWN; I have no excuse NOT to.

My Saturday morning time at the Y will be wasted if I don't. And I hate to waste money and time!

Staying on plan because the scale keeps moving down, down, down.....

Nothing - like the beaches in Kauai.......it is one of our favorite places on the planet.............

Renewed = Thanks for the encouragement - I am still running along............

What is on plan actually mean?? I am only 9 days post op and there really has been no talk of a plan other than keeping calories below 1200. Is this what you guys are talking about or is there something else that you are doing (like low carb)??
