Do you guys want to keep track of our weight loss? We can all post our band date and how much we've lost since surgery (not including pre-op, since some people have 6 month pre-ops and others have none at all).

If anyone knows how to do a spreadsheet they can post in in a spreadsheet. (Sorry guys, I have no clue how.) We can periodicaly update the list from time to time. I think it would be interesting to see how different people are doing as the year goes by. Or we could just keep a running total and always copy and paste the list into your reply, changing only your own weight loss.

What do you think?

ETA: Why not, we can also include pre-op weightloss, as a separate category, since so many pre-ops might look to us to see what they can expect on their pre-op diets. (Doesn't hurt to be helpful.)

Everyone is a loser!....Yea! Everyone has to travel their own path but it's nice to know others paths meet up with ours from time to time... We are all getting healthier and lighter ... keep up the good work!

P.s. Since it is after midnight...It's my 8th month Bandaversary...Yesterday weight was 286.5 ... I'm hoping when I weigh in about 8 hrs I will be at 286 which will be 100 lbs. lost from my highest weight. What a present I gave myself! This has been life changing for me. Everyone tells me I'm always walking around with a smile on my face these days....It's because I'm feeling so good! And have more energy to walk and smile at the same time! LOL

Cassie don't do that to yourself...we all have to find what works for us...we are a support group ... telling everyone what we are doing is meant to help! Your weight is going down ... now I'm not sure why you feel ashamed...think about your comment and try to identify why you feel that way...once you can identify what it was that made you feel that way .... try and figure out one thing that you can do to help that feeling. Not only are we all working on our eating behaviors but also our emotions..Sometimes that is harder than the diet but it all goes together. I hope you try this and that it helps!

Stay positive, the hard work both inside and outside will pay off, your worth all the effort!:drool:
