MAKING CHANGES

Hang in there. You can do it. It takes all of us to help each other. I will be praying for you.

I was 217 last Tuesday, and haven't lost a lick since. I felt a plateau coming on, but didn't get a fill at doc last time. I am getting more hungry every day, and now I wish I had gotton that fill... It is hard to control portions when 1 1/2 cups of food per setting doesn't last more than 2 hours! I am broke and running out of protein. Everything left in my cupboard is starch. No protein shakes, not even milk to make my own. I hate this part:(

China, Enjoy it no matter what you weigh!! Bermuda sounds fun. :biggrin:

Denal8, I, too am addicted to the scale. i used to gain wt. just looking at food, so am doing this to be proactive. it sets the tone for the day, but I look at is as goal setting- not a time to be bummed with a gain/no change. My downfall is eating bread and flour items which stalls any weight loss.:wink2: If i can keep away from them, i can lose...

Hi everyone. It has been awhile since I have posted. I was doing well up until the last month of May when I had my third fill. I did well for 2days then something got stuck I PB'd and I swelled shut could not even swallow my own spit. It was a little scary but the doctor saw me right away and took out half of what he put in and have been doing ok since. I then hit the wall. I was 259lbs at the point and stayed at that point until the second week of July. So now finally it is starting to come off again. Even though I did not lose weight for over a month i am very proud of what I have lost.

Well enough about me. I am glad that I was able to post again and see many of you still doing well.

:smile:

Sue you can still eat bread and flour products?? I can no longer eat breads, pasta, or any sort of breading on anything.

Just had a small fill yesterday. I'm down to 239!!!! woo hooo Haven't seen this weight in 10 years.

I feel like I am finally doing better. I have a lost 4.9 since my last fill on July 13th. I am biking and walking everyday. I pray thi all continues. 2 years ago I got down to 220 with wieght watchers but gained it all back. I hope I will see that number again or even lower. I hope everyone continues to have a good week.

hi all hows it going,

im doing ok i have for some reason started eating sweets for the last 2days. i think due to some thing bothering me. but, i have to get it right. i have to get back on track. i seem to be doing alright today. how im out of the funk. i think it happened due to me not being able to eat much. i guess i feel bad about this. but, im gonna get it right. gonna go to the gym tonite and releave some stress. well wish me luck

Good Luck China! I hope you start to feel better. I know what you mean about emotional eating. Hope you enjoy the gym. I will bike after my son's piano practice.

thank you well the cake is out the house. the old man eat the last of it. how ever i did have 2bites of it. so im glad that is over so gotta brush my self off and get my tail in gear.

I have a a group of people I work with that eat like crazy and I have chocolate muffins staring at me. If I can resist the muffins it will be wonderful to me. I biked last night and it made me feel a sense of accomplishment and I am seeing the weight come off finally. China we are in this thing together and please draw strength from anyone you can. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

you are so right. im doing better today seem to have more control that is. i was in wegmans and walked right by the canoli's:smile: in which i love. that made me feel good. small steps till i get to where i need to be. i will get there i have to. i hung a picture of my kids on my fridge today that is my motivation as i have to be around for them. the thought of me gone or seeing them like me becuz of what i might be teaching them brings tears to my eyes. the world is cold to obese people and i dont want them to ever feel that so i have to nip it now. thanks for listening

Well I gave in and had some muffin. Not the whole thing but some of it. I am doing better at lunch with fruit. I will most likely not biking much this weekend because my Birthday is Monday and I will be celebrating all weekend. I must stay focused.

So this was a messy week for me. Lost 1 lb, which was a miracle. Over the weekend I was at in-laws and ate lots of foods and cake and stuff. I am ashamed. However, I went to yoga twice this week and the second class kicked my ASS! So thank you yoga for the -1 lb, as I know I have you to thank for it!

Hoping to be in onederland by September...

I also lost 1 pound this week which was good. It was my birthday yesterday and I had ice cream cake over the weekend. I am biking everyday and I know that helps. I actually can't wait to go back to the doctor because I will have such a good loss this time that I will make everyone happy. I am hoping to get to my 200's by christmas which will be my 1 year anniversary. I hope everyone has a great week.

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.

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.
