Great Job Dude! We are going to do the next challenge for Memorial Day. I will post details soon.

Keep up the great job! You'll be catching up to me in no time. LOL!

Oh by the way, you jinxed me with routing for the Giants in the Superbowl. I lost 3lbs. over that Superbowl loss. I still can't talk about it without feeling a knife in my chest.

Okay. I've just been just lurking for the past few weeks, because I set a goal that was (apparently) too optimistic for me. The scale hasn't budged for a few weeks, and I didn't make my goal. I wasn't going to sign in. But, then I realized that's exactly the kind of thinking that got me in this mess in the first place....

Shoot, I LOST 6.5 POUNDS. That's an accomplishment! I am going to take credit for that. Yay! Plus, I am confident that bigger loses are on their way. Life is good!

Foofy ................249............242.5 (yay!).............237............5.5

Good for you! Any loss is better than gaining. Besides is this the lowest that you have been in a long time. You have something to Celebrate. I am very happy with your accomplishments. You are a winner!:smile: Keep up the great job!

Foofy, you still lost one pound a week! Be proud of that!

TxArcher: 15 pounds in 6 weeks is great! You men kill me, always the fast losers! Nice job!

I'll post tomorrow a.m. I should be down at least one more pound from last week. I set a conservative goal of one pound a week and cannot believe I will surpass that. Amazing! Weight loss is slowing though, so the fill that finally gets me to restriction can't come fast enough.

I'll spend the rest of the day considering (or should I say obsessing) what my Memorial Day goal will be. LOL!

My body is really fighting losing the weight now, but I'm hanging in and just squeeked in the 180's.

Isn't it great, with our bands these goals are acheivable. I can't imagine I would be able to surpass a goal like this before I was banded.

Can't wait to see how everyone does! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I was a little too optimistic that somehow losing with the band would be different than losing any other time I've lost weight. I'm not complaining, though, because I AM losing -- albeit slowly -- but I don't feel the least bit deprived. If I want something to eat, I eat it. I just don't eat as much or as often. I'm not even exercising right now -- my schedule has just been too exhausting and I'm dealing with some perimenopausal issues. So all in all, I'm content and will be more realistic with my next goal.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
