I thought having the next challenge go to the first day of summer, June 21st, would be motivating. That's almost 7 weeks. Then for the summer we could have a "summer meltdown" challenge if everyone agrees. I'll kick it off!

Good luck everyone!!

Hi All, Just checking in. I have no weight loss to report. I am one of those that also cannot understand how I can eat this much with 8.4 cc's in my band. Have another fill scheduled for Weds a.m.. Since I get so tight right after, I think I am going to have to go often and do very small fills until I hit the right spot. chicken, beef, you name it, it goes down.

I am in Rhode Island until Tues a.m. Cleaning, Cleaning, cleaning. I think the work I'm doing makes me believe I "deserve" the treats I'm eating, but I know I'm not doing that much work. Too many of those 100 calorie snack packs ( and no scale here). I won't be buying those packs anymore. I thought I was back on track after vacation but I am off my old routine.

And the wedding looms large!

Hopefully after my fill, I'll lose a few.

Hi everyone,

Hope all is going well in band land!

I went to my DR yesterday (5-15-08) and found out that I lost 10.5 pounds since my last visit on April 14, 2008!!!!!

I thought that I was not doing so well-- but then I always think that :w00t:

I have been exercising more, riding my bike and walking.

I did ask for another fill. A week before my visit I always feel like I can eat more than I should. Now it is never as much as I used to could eat,, but it worries me. I ate a piece of cake on Mothers Day and I don't think I should have been able to eat that !! LOL

He put 1/2 cc in me. I think I have 7 cc's and my band is a 10cc but I'm not sure.

My DR recommends clear liquid the day after a fill and so far I haven't even wanted food. I love the super full feeling I'm getting with just Water and Soup (OK, so now you all know that I'm crazy LOL)

Ok so when I accepted this challenge I was at 246 my current weight is 238!!! total of 8 Pounds lost.

:thumbup:

Congratulations Sades! Love the look the chart.. Very pretty.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Cindy

Thanks Cindy it feels great to lose more even if it's only 1 lb. That font makes it easier to keep the list neat... I must be anal! :woot:

I am anal as well. Must be from my corporate world days and having to do many reports. LOL I am glad your losing...I know how frustrating it has been for you. You are losing the weight I am not...you will catch up to us soon...

Cindy

It's funny but I'm omly anal about certain things and messy in others.

I am so glad to be reporting new weight loss. I had been sabotaging myself for too long and I hope that I will be able to get past that as I try to lose more.

I hope you continue to lose Cindy, you're probably at a bit of a plateau... you've got to hit that 100 lbs soon!! :woot::Banane20:

Edited May 17, 200818 yr by Sades

WTG on the losses, guys. I've been doing too much stress eating. It's been a hobby that sadly I have picked back up. :thumbdown: I am working on it this weekend because I know I've gained a couple lbs back and I do NOT like it. Back to basics, as they say. I don't see how I'll make 159 by June 21st, but the unexpected is always possible, I suppose.

It's so easy to do Steph but you've achieved so much so far that no doubt you'll get back on track.

Well, I finally lost 1lb. I have been on this plateau for weeks. The Water aerobics and the fill seem to be kicking in. Here is hoping to a whole bunch more soon.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Cindy

I have no weight gain or loss to report on this challenge yet. Got a fill this a.m .3cc, think I need more but have decided to go a little at a time.

Driving back to RI now, just came home to Ct for the appt.

Don;t have much time for the forum lately. things will calm down soon and I'll check in on all the great weight losses I'm sure you're all posting!!!
