:thumbup:Hi everyone in order to support each other and provide some type of motivation. Maybe we can weigh-in on fridays and report our exercise activities and offer tips and advice!

So lets check in on Fridays!!!:confused:

p.s Happy New Years! Much success to all of us! Please know that you have all touched my heart and I find this site very useful, inspiring and informative. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey!!

Down 2.9 for a weight of 218.9

I can't believe I finally broke the 220's! My April Fools day goal is to be in onderland. I think that might be pushing it a bit....but a girls got to dream big!

Dear Julie:

You're doing great! I'm out of town, so can't weigh in this week - and it's probably a good thing. I think I need another fill. All of a sudden I notice I can eat more, I'm hungry more often and I can eat without any sense of restriction. Get home Tuesday and I'm going to my band doctor Thursday (his clinic hours) for an adjustment. that's the part I love about the band -- prior to this I would have felt defeated and just eaten even more!:cursing: Now I think, just watch yourself for the next week (so I won't gain, hopefully) and then I'll be back on the down-ward slide.:frown:

Where's our friend LoveisLovely? Haven't seen her in awhile. Hope all's ok.

I don't know. Lovely are you out there?

hello,

I had a good week down 6 more pounds. I have been doing my wii fit every day and some walk away the miles and also I started the new WAVE stepping program. I feel really motivated since my last fill really has me restricted. I drink my Protein drink for Breakfast and am able to control my lunch and dinner. Snacking is also minimal. When I get a sweet tooth I have two kisses or a cup of coffee

(I like it really sweet). When I want salty I have almonds.

I feel good. I do get a little tired but I work through it.

Start weight 316

I just saw this post and love the idea. I wanted to post eventhough its not friday since Fridays I am not anywhere near a computer. I am down 65lb since my liquid diet. I am seeing people that I haven't seen in a while and some people don;'t even reconize me. I feel great!!! I was tighten recently and since then have been loosing a ton of weight. I can't eat much but at least I know I can drink. I also have been having a hard time with protein maybe its time to go back to the shakes. I guess I will see. take care and thanks for the encoragment.

Slim - That is awesome. I just decided today it is time for my thrid fill. I canceled the last one because I thought I was at my sweet spot, but maybe all my weight loss has made the band looser.

Keep up the great work. I take it you are working out? I hit the gym 3-5 days a week.

Hey everyone, I am down 90 pounds but if all goes well, I will be gaining a few more pounds, I am pregnant! Shocked shocked! Apparently, the more weight you lose the fertile you are! I am to see my doctor, to make sure I am ok, Ive been having some light bleeding. I hope you are all doing well!!!!!

-4.2 this week and I hit 70 pounds lost as of today. By monday I should be at the halfway mark!!!! I can't believe it. 4 months from surgery!!! 50% of my excess body weight is GONE!!! Today I weight 214.7

Love:

That is GREAT! I hope all goes well and I will be thinking about you. Please keep us up today on what is going on!!! Well I bet you are the first of the Smashing Pumpkins to have a band baby!!! It seams like the phenomon is fairly common. I bet you are more fertile and a little more active with 90 lbs gone! Will you try your pregnancy with your current Fluid level or have some taken out?

CONGRATS!!!

I am swearing off stepping on the scale for the rest of the month (I've become obsessed and it's not a good thing), so won't be weighing in, but just had to post.

LoveIsLovely - Congratulations! Is this to be your first? Motherhood is an amazing thing. My little "oops" (now 11) came along at a time when I'd lost weight - it really does make one more fertile.

LoveisLovely: Well, I guess it is!:sneaky: Congratulations and I hope all goes well today. What does your band doctor say? It's fantastic.

Julie: You're amazing - I'm very impressed. You're like the people on Biggest Loser, posting big numers each week. Great job. Keep it up. Whatever you're doing is working.

Karen: I'm like you - Weighing too often. I go up a few, down a few. So I'm posting the same. My sister, who was banded in December, is doing the same thing, so I take comfort. I tried to get a fill this week but my doctor's going on vacation so I can't get in until March 12 and I'm nervous as a cat about staying on the band wagon. I had a root canal yesterday (3 hours in the chair with the dentist drilling - not fun:crying:). I'm trying to listen to my body and my band and only eat when I'm hungry - and more importantly, to stop when I'm full! The 2nd part seems harder than the first.

Great job everyone!

GETTING BACK ON TRACK

LOST 2 THAT I GAINED LAST WEEK

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE:redface:

Okay, Put me down for -2.0 lbs this week. I made some bad food choices last weekend and I guess my body has to catchup sometime. I lost Saturday, stayed the same on Sunday. :redface:I gained Monday and Tuesday. Lost the other 3 days.

I know, please don't lecture me. I should be happy. I get a fill in one week. I want to hit -75 by then. I am happy. I my brain still can't quite wrap itself around the fact that I only weigh 212.7.

Good luck to all this week!

STAYED THE SAME THIS WEEK....

POOR FOOD CHOICES NOT ENOUGH EXERCISE

GOING FOR 2ND FILL TUES MAYBE THAT WILL HELP!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE:thumbup:

Hi friends!!

Miss you all! Thank you for the good wishes. I finally got my lap top fixed and I am back Ok so as you know I am pregnant and NOT trying to lose weight, but m y eating habits are still filled with veggies and proteins. I will not have and unfill until I meet with my obgyn. Then I will speak to my LB surgeon and decide the next step. As of today I a m down to 200 pounds, I am OVERWEIGHT!!! Yahooo!!! Feels good! Good luck to everyone and thank you for your continious support!

Dear All:

Another pound down - that doen't count all the up & down I've been doing since 2/2/09. So I'm only 1 pound down for the month!

My doctor is on vacation so I can't get a fill until March 12. I've been writing my food down and counting calories. I have to say it's easier with the band:redface:.

I'm going to really stick to this (counting calories 1100-1200/day) and exercising 30# per day (sorry guys, can't do more than that!) and see where that brings me on March 12.

Keep up all the good work everyone.:wink:
