Well I had a very up and down week!

Luckily overall I lost 0.2kg (0.4lbs) and hey I'll take it! My appetite came back with a vengeance this week, on the same day I got my period...don't think it is a HUGE coincidence. I didn't think I'd lose at all this week in fact yesterday I was 0.8kgs up on last week!! What's up with that!! Then lost a kilo in that day to be down 0.2kgs on the all important weigh in day.

I walked 5 nights this week for 30 minutes (at 4.5mph). I wish daylight saving would start soon and the weather would improve!

Don't have much time this AM. We're going woodcutting so I gotta hurry. I'll catch up with everyone later but here are my stats for the week.

Last week: 204.7

This week: 202.0

Weekly Loss: 2.7lbs!!

WooHoo!

I did a mile on the treadmill a few times this week but not as much as I wanted to. It'll get better. I'm working up to it!

Take care everyone! Talk to you later!

Congratulations to everyone on your weight loss for this week!!

I'm down 3 lbs this week. I was excited to see that this morning b/c on Monday I was only down 1 pound. I'm not extremely hungry, but I am eating something every three hours. I think the smaller meals more often are helping to keep my metabolism going. I also started going to a gym this past week. I've only gone twice just to work out on the eliptical machine. It's easier on my knees than the treadmill.

Roheryn - Thanks for starting the thread.

I'm up 1.2# this week. I'm back to eating all regular food now, and have no restriction, so I'm really only surprised that the gain was so little. I have concentrated on eating smaller portions than I ever had before, but I figure that I'm still recovering from "starvation mode", so my body is holding on to everything. I'm ok with this. Heck, I probably fluctuate more than that on a day-to-day basis!

I get a new boss on the 1st and was supposed to get my first fill on the 6th. I called the coordinator and begged to be filled a week early because I didn't want to be out of the office right after the new guy started. They are taking me early, so I'll only have had to wait 5 weeks instead of 6. I'll sure be glad for ANY restriction. I know that alot of people are only restricted from the swelling at first and then are the same as before until their next fill. They tell me that my doc is "conservative" on the fills, so I'm probably going to have to get a few before things really start coming off, you know? :thumbup:

I'm down a lb....last week I was up 2 lbs....I guess that makes me down 3 lbs, but it's really only 1....Did that make sense?LOL

I guess everybody had ups and downs this week

I'm up 1 pound this week. I've been at a retreat all week...great food choices were available at every meal & snack time, but I refused to use the workout room...there was zero privacy & I just couldn't do it & I believe that really cost me. I'm back to the treadmill tonight & hope to recover the pound plus another 1 or 2 by next weigh in.

I'm back to no restriction, but will schedule another fill when the phy office opens on Monday.

Everyone is really doing a great job! Keep it up!

Oh my been posting my weight on the wrong thread. Well had my first fill and down 10 from my visit a month ago to the Phy. Asst. She is very happy with my progress. The fill was just 1 cc and I am on liquids and mushies for 2 days. I have been losing about 1-2 lbs. per week. I am happy with that. Getting more exercise helps also. I take it one day at a time and that is the best way.

"Thanks and I've been losing weight, got a bit to go but I'm getting there!" and it was an open invitation she was very animated in her reply "You have lost a lot and are looking great!" It cracks me up though watching peoples reactions but weight being such a sensitive thing they don't want to say anything!But I know they notice and it gives me warm fuzzies

That is so true. I found at school the kids are asking my daughter and the teachers are asking my husband. Weird, why won't they talk to me:crying: I am so excited to be losing and noticing it! I had one of my students from last year come by my room the other day and she said I looked great and I had to of lost a lot of weight over the summer. I was so jazzed, I wanted to jump over my desk and hug her!:thumbup:

I am down 2 lbs this week. I went from 237 to 235. The weight is coming off very slow but fairly steady. Had my first fill this week and start eating regular foods again today. I'm not feeling any restriction from my first fill and have to wait a month for a second one. I exercised at Curves 3 times this week and played tennis with my husband twice. I'm going to try to bump up the exercise this week.
