I don't know about the rest of you but I am so psyched!! :tt2: I thought it would be fun to see how much we have lost ... say starting with your preop diet (or at least 2 weeks before banding) until now. I think it would also be very motivational for the rest of those who are still waiting to be banded -- give them something to look forward to and help shake those jitters!

Anyway, I was banded on May 8, and as of today have lost a total of 20.5 pounds!! :wink_smile:

well im not at the half way mark yet, but it is awesome to know you no longer have over a hundred pounds to loose!

my scale hasn't moved in the past week or so, but that's totally my fault, i haven't been to the gym...hopefully i can get my booty in gear this coming week! :crying:

Hi Kiki,

It's good to see that we are on track with each other.

Good Luck with the challenge.:eek:

Officially HALFWAY in less than 5 months!! =) Sooooooooo excited!!

another 1.8 lbs gone forever!!! Total now 67.4 lbs!!! Yeaaaaa looosssiiiee!!! (my band)

Hi May sisters (and brothers?),

Yesterday was my 5 month anniversary..down 62 lbs and 15 to go! (doc only wants me to lose another 5..I want 10 more than that)

Isn't this thing amazing? The real test will be NEXT year, when we are all STAYING at goal!

Mominlv, my band, Philip (fill up) says hi to Loooooosie!

I don't understand how some have lost so much and others like me haven't.

Carrie--I am fortunate that I am retired and live in a VERY active gated community. I have time to devote to lots of exercise. Yesterday I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then a water aerobics class. Today was a tai chi class and then an hour of Zumba.

I really think THAT makes such a difference....and I am careful what I eat (which is occasionally a cookie!)

Don't give up--try to add movement to your day!

Yea, I do need to up the exercise. I have been quite lazy lately.

74.6, Oh I want that 75 so bad. Maybe I can lost .4 tomorrow!!! It feels so good to be closer to my goal than closer to my start weight! My goal is 65 more but my surgeon said he'd be happy with 50 more.

Hi Philip!!! Doing super just like Looosssiiieee!!! Keep up the good work!!

Lost another pound last week. That makes 41. But the thing that made me really happy this week is I´ve lost a total of 34.5 INCHES!!!!!! WAHOO!

I know this sounds weird, but when I exercise I don't lose as good. Anyone else have that problem?

i did it, i did it, i did it!!!

i hit 75 lbs lost this morning!!!

I can't remember when I weighed this amount last...180!!!!! Maybe I was 12, 13??? I know I was at 200 by age 15.

Anyways....up to 4.5cc's in a 10cc band. I walk 2.5 miles in 45mins 5-6 days a week plus do strength exercises.

Long2B

What an accomplishment! You get an A+!

Hoping to follow in your footsteps,

Judy
