MAKING CHANGES

Hi all, Am still fighting another sinus infection but lost 4 # this week!! Any loss is a win!!

I lost 3 lbs this week. I went Fri and got a slight unfill. I just never did loosen up enough since the last fill a month ago. I wasn't getting enough calories and getting pretty tired of soup. I feel so much better already and hope this will help me be more consistent with losing.

I got you added to the spreadsheet. You'll see a link in my signature....how low can you go....just click on it and it should open up for you. Welcome to the group.

So where are the actual spreadsheets? May I join?

Hello!

My fill on tuesday worked wonders and I have lost 6 lbs since then which brings me to my current weight of 229. I am 5 lbs away from my 10 lb April goal!:smile:

Ok, only have shown a 1# loss down to 250 teatering onto 249

Just had a fill last week and he only did .4cc Said that less would feel like more as we go along. They are really being careful not to overfill.

Guess I got spoiled by the amount of weight loss and it seemed so fast at first. I'm still heading in the right direction just slower than at first.

I'm healhty, not had a problem with any foods (knock on wood), exercising is going great and I love my band...I love that I'm getting healthier.

I gained 2# this week. I am still loose. I have a fill next week so hopefully I can get to a point that I am not struggling so much. I hope everyone has a great week.

Hi Guys, Sorry i havent posted in so long, have been travelling a lot and forgot to check in. I have lost another 8 pounds, so i am down to 318. Can you update for me? thanks

Hi ,ll. Congrats AnnJones ! Any loss is a win and some pounds are harder than others!

Congrats to all. Everyone is doing well! That's great!!

i'm at a standstill which is OK been sick (Still) and just tired all the time. No loss, this week.:sad:(The EAster Chocolate didn't help either)- duh!

Good morning ya'll. I'm down 1# this week. I'm getting close to onederland ... I haven't been there in about 6 years.

I haven't posted in a few weeks with vaccation and everything, but for some strange and great reason I am still losing, despite Easter candy (which I was VERY good about but still indulged...). At the end of March I was sitting at 245 and am now down to 238. Ah- it has been a while since I was in the 30's. Still can't fit into 18's, but I KNOW I will get there by summer.

Confession- I tried to eat some of a Big Mac. After three very well chewed bites, the pain was incredible, and up came all that slimey burger. God bless my band.

I have read some of what other people eat- and can not fathom even being able to do it. I ate sandwiches at my mothers in Florida, and had trouble every time (although it helped it was rye bread). Sorry if this seems like bragging, but I have only had two fills and feel so good about what this band has done to my body. There are times I can eat more than I should, but it always gets balanced at some point.

Also, for anyone who wants to update their own info, if you cut and paste my How Low Can You Go Challenge by my signature into your own signature, you can access it and update it yourself when ever you what. I took mine from Pete.

Keep up the hard work everyone!!!!

I had a bad food week this week. I was doing so great after my fill and unfill now I think I am too loose again. I have not lost a pound since last week so zero for me. I plan to kick it into high gear at the gym this week and hopefully make better food choices! (stop the chocolate binges at night!). I wish I could stop getting discouraged so easily because I know I am still doing great but when I don't see the scale move it kind of bums me out.

Good luck everyone!!

hi everyone glad to see everyone is doing so well these days. well im down 2lbs this week im happy about that as i have been having alot of issues with the seconde fill i go so i had to have it removed. so im happy just to see the scale move.

i went for my 2nd fill and must have been over filled an didn't know just thought i was eating to much but, in any case i got all of my 2nd fill out and some of the 1st one also so im now down to 2.6cc's and filling good. im back on track now so i hope this works for me. i still get alittle upset as i think i should be loosing like i did before i had surgery and when i dont i feel angry. but, im in it for the long haul so im gonna hang in there.

Well I thought i would miss soda but I dont. when I do i keep a can around that i let sit out till it goes flat then i drink it!! yuck i know but it takes care of the craving:smile:. I find that i can eat popcorn with not a problem THANK GOD I dont know if I could survive without popcorn!! I'm down to 150 now finally. I think I will set a goal for May to be at 145.

Hello everyone.

4 months to the day for me and i am at 267 that is a total of 60lbs for me. I have had 2 fills. the 2nd one is at 2,9cc and it is the sweet spot. No breads for me what so ever mostly chicken and my husband made a tenderloin for me last night. I have a salad atleast one a day and I still drink my muscle milk portein but i found a light 100 caliore one that is great. I have now drop from 28s to 22s in pant sizes and gone for a 4x to 2x in shirts. No boobs they are all gone from a 48DD to 42c. I feel like I am being deflated everything wiggles and jiggles. LOL

Was going to gym started to have to pick up more shifts and the restaurant so missed a few days here and there, But now thank god for Yuma Arizona it was 103 today and so i came home and did laps in the pool.

Hope everyone is great and it has been a long journy just to make it 4months and I still have journy and a half to make it through.

Kathy

I know how you feel, I haven't lost any in the last week either, but we must keep the faith that we will get this weight off!!!
