Hi everyone. Will try for the valentine challenge with you all.

Just got back from 3rd fill but plateaud for last 6 weeks so need motivation & challenge.Big thanks to you all, this site is the only thing keeping me going X

Just joined the gym too so fingers crossed.Good luck everyone.

Hi Little Nan, welcome!!

Well, I have weighed the same for the past week, so I'm not progressing as quickly on the challenge, but I'm going to keep plugging away.

Went to get my 3rd fill yesterday and the doctor didn't want to give me a fill because he said I'm losing weight just fine without another one. I was surprised, but since I'm leaving the country in 2 weeks, he didn't want to take a chance.

How are the other challengers doing? I'm still at 228, but drinking Water like crazy!

Here's to success!!

I went for my 4th fill this past Wednesday and lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. My new grand total is 52 pounds since September 17, 2007.

Hit the 50 pound mark! WOOO HOOO!!!

Starting BMI = 42.7

BMI is now = 35.3

I feel GREAT!!!! Dropped from a tight 24 or a looser 26 --- to a tight 16 or a loose 18!!! I love my lap band!!

Congrats on hitting the 50 pound mark!

I'm also chasing it. It feels great!

Surgery Date: 10/11/07

I am down 30 now and I am so happy!

I was a tight 18 (even if the material is strechy)and today I am wearing 14 pants and 14 dress shirt from Ann Taylor (which is not strechy) I feel so great.

Yesterday at work people were starting to say 'are you losing weight - you look great!' Finally people are noticing which makes me feel even better.

Now, the next goal is 7 pounds. Once I get those pounds off I will be halfway to goal. Amazing! Love my band.

I was banded Oct 3 2007. I have lost 58lbs so far! I am excited and I love my band

I have lost 52lbs. since my surgery Oct.2, 2007. I had my first fill 11/2/07 4cc in my 14cc band. Second fill 1/2/08 and have 7cc in my 14cc VG band...

dlyrical - You're doing great! How's it going since your 2nd fill. I noticed you have 7cc in a 14 cc VG band. I have the same band, but with only 3 cc's. I'm hoping to get another fill next month. Do you have much restriction so far?

Keep up the good work.

i have lost 29 lbs. i need to lose 3.5 to be half way to goal. that has taken me almost 4 months, so i am giving myself another 4 months to be at goal. i need to lose a little over 8 lbs each month. i am gonna work this ass off!!! good job to everyone on their losses!
