Morning all!

I know it's Thursday still for most of you in the US when I post these threads, but heck, it's Friday for me here and that way I can post my update in the Valentine's Day challenge as well!

It's been a really good week for me this week. Not sure what I'm doing differently (in fact I'm exercising less because I gave up 2 bike rides to start the couch to 5k running plan this week) but whatever it is, it's working!

Last week 76.7kg (168.7lbs)

This week 74.8kg (164.6lbs)

Loss of 1.9kgs or 4.1 lbs!

I've never lost that much before in one week (except right after surgery)!

Last week: 172

This week: 171

This has been a hard week, but I will take the loss! It has been many weeks since I have been down. I flirted with under 170 for the first time in many many years, but did not stay.

Let's hope next week will be less this coming week.

Have a great week all.

Two days after New Years, all the alcohol caught up with me. I gained 5 pounds! I drink very rarely and I think I will give it up for good. It's just not worth it.

So I have spent the last 2 weeks getting that weight off. It's been difficult because I desperately need a fill. It feels as though I have lost all restriction.

As of today, I have lost all the extra weight plus 1 pound.

I am down 2 pounds.

I think I am at my sweet spot. I have only had 3 fills and I am 3.4 cc's I was filled to 4ccs last November and was way too too tight. I am a little scared of getting another fill. So far I have been losing so I don't think I need one.

BTW..I went to my Dr. yesterday and they are pushing you have to eat something solid for Breakfast. I can't. I can have something like applesauce but that is about as solid as I can get with out feeling uncomfortable. Can you guys eat solids early in the morning?

I have a hard time with solids for breakfast too. I can do scrambled eggs, but to me, that's what I consider a 'slider' food since they go down easy.

I'm down 20.5 pounds total! yippee! (not a lot compared to some of y'all, but i'll catch up some day!)

Last week: 247.2

This week: 245.8

Lost 1.4 lbs

I'm out of town visiting my parents for a couple of weeks, and I'm determined to stay on target as much as possible. I won't be able to get in my daily Curves workouts, but they have a stationary bike and I brought along some resistance bands - let's see if they ever come out of my suitcase! lol

I finally broke the plateau. But not enough. Just over a pound this week. I have to call and set up for another fill. My 4th. I think my sweet spot will take a while to find LOL

I got a fill on the 6th so I'm at 5.5 now. I have restriction and now can't eat anything in the AM. Used to. I drink a shake (which my dr forbids!) for 14 or 20 grams of Protein, depending on which one I want. We'll see if I can eat breakfast later in the month as I lose more weight.

Last week: 191.1

This week: 189.1

Total loss: 2lbs!

Whew! Glad that happened! I was starting to wonder when last Friday, after my fill, I'd only lost 1/10th of a lb!

Just a few more lbs and I'll be down 50 since I started the process in March. A few more after that and I'll be halfway to goal. That all just seems so amazing to me! Is anyone else just amazed by this process (not mine! LOL! Yours!)?

Lellow, fantastic loss! Congrats!

I'm still stuck at 233, but I got a fill tuesday and I'm feeling much better restriction now so hopefully I'll start moving down again soon!

I had a good weight loss this week. I worked too much and had a lot of stress, but what the heck I had a 4lbs loss, so I will take it. Though I know I have to be better at making sure I eat at the right times. It looks like everyone had a great week. I finally hit my 80lb loss mark so that is good thing... look out Hawaii I am on my way.

Last week 244.6

This week 239.8

3.8 pounds lost this week

Morning solids are tough here too. It gets easier as the day goes on and some nice warm coffee seems to help too.

HI there,

I am at the same progress as you and finally got some restriction from my 4th fill last Wednesday.

I cannot eat bfast but slowly eating all foods is totally working. Protein shakes is my best way to get protein in bc I am struggling to get 800 calories a day since Wednesday.

I should totally see some shrinkage now.

I dropped to 226lbs after being at 233lbs for about 2.5 mos.

I was banded on 27 Aug 2008

I am trying to get a ticker tracker but nothing is working for me to get it posted on my posts..
