How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1

[denal8 0]

Great job on the 14 pounds. I go back to the doctor on August 25th and am hoping to be down 10-12 pounds my self. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I went in yesterday and the good news was that I'd lost 14 pounds in 7 weeks (yeah. . .all that daily exercise paid off!) I'm a little worried though because my doc "made me" take some Fluid out of my band when I told her that I'm mainly only able to eat fluids and really soft foods at both Breakfast and lunch. I've now started feeling really hungry again, and am scared that the loss of fluid in the band is going to slow down my progress. Only five pounds to go until I hit 163 - thats my BMI 29.9 point. Seems significant in my head to move from "obese" to "overweight" on the BMI scale for the first time in over 10 years. . . Gonna get there in August if it kills me.

Although I didn't make my monthly goal, I still did great this month. The last week was riddled with birthdays, a funeral, and some bad food choices of some very tasty sliders.

Even still, I lost 1 lb this week. New goal for next month, 8 lbs.

Keep going everyone!!!! Rah Rah RAH!!!!!!

Hey all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. A lot has been going on. I had injured myself twice in two weeks. Really took it's toll on me but really not as bad as you might think. As a result I lost then gained then lost and am still at 355. Then I got laid off from work. Yeah sounds bad but I am keeping a positive attitude about it all. In all I am still down 130 lbs since my highest weight and keeping it off. Still plenty more still to go but that's ok. I will get there. I hope everyone is doing well with their weight loss. It's amazing how just 9 months ago we all were getting surgery done and how much it has changed all of our lives! Well at least I know it has changed my life a lot. :biggrin:

So this last week I lost 2 pounds but the week before was a gain of 2 so it's been a wash. LOL So goes it and this week will be better! :biggrin:

Finally finished plateauing. I'm down almost 5 lbs. this week after a two-week stall.

Pete - Best of luck to you. I hate to hear that you're going through a rough time. You're always lifting all of us.... What are we? Holiday Hotties? up from them. Those are the types of stressors that can not only sabotage our progress, but put lots of weight back on. It looks like you are still managing okay, though, so horray for you!

By the way... anyone notice my weight loss ticker at the the half-way mark? Yippee!
