I weigh in weekly and plan on posting here to keep me focused. If anybody else wants to post their losses on fridays with me feel free. I figure the more the merrier and we can cheer each other on as we start climbing back down the scale! Personally I find Fridays help keep me focused over the weekends.

O boy- can't believe that I am disclosing this. Thank you all for being brave enough to share and showing me it is okay to share. Started pre-op yesterday at 250.8. Didn't weigh today. 250.8 is my highest ever. I'll try and post next week but it will be the day after surgery. Happy Easter everyone.

For sure Wanna B

Band Groupie, Hannah and Sexylips need your pre-preopdiet weight

Celtic need your current and your pre-preopdiet. You may want to miss this week as you have just been banded? So maybe you dunno what you weigh. :drool:

So far on this journey, the 10 of us have lost a total of 161lb!!!

Hello all!

Starting weight 280

Current weight 271.8

Pre-op weight needs to be 265.

Surgery is 4/24/09! 6.2 more pounds to go!

Lingling- Sorry for the delay...just got back into town and I'm trying to catch up with everything. The spreadsheet will be great motivation...I gained 1 1/2# on my long weekend and that was with drinking a shake for Breakfast and being really good at meals (and I ate NO sweets...not even a single jelly bean)...so discouraging. Ahh well, back on the pre-op track. Here's your info.

Highest Pre pre-op-248

March- Not sure

April 4- 231

April 10- 226.5 (now 228 boo-hoo)

MrsMitch- I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you're still on the road to banding. Hang in there!

I was 315 now 302

Hi guys

Great going everyone

Here are the results from week one.

Please note that some of the calculations won't work as we don't have highest weights for everyone - these will impact every week's results for these people as we need a point of comparrison. People are away getting banded and for easter so I am sure they will come in due course!

The other reason some of the calcs aren't working this week is that we don't have a 4th of April weight for everyone - never fear! this will Iron out next week as most people have given this week's weight.

Ignore the funny calcs in red - its just an error because of above!

Overall so far

Hannah and JayTee kicked butt this week with 13 and 7lb loss respectively! Although if you look at everyone's loss as a % of their starting weight we are all doing really well!!

Hang in there we are on the road to healthy happy lives!!!

PS. Sorry not sure why the JPG is so tiny!!!!

I have uploaded a word doc to show the spreadsheet

Thank you so much for doing this Ling! I'm so excited to see what this looks like in a few weeks, months, etc.

OOOOH! Count me in, please!

My highest (Nov. 2008) was 327.

My weight on April 1st (surgery date) was 295.

I did not check my weight on April 4th.

My weight on April 10th was 285.

Thanks for doing this! I don't understand how to create spreadsheets, so I totally appreciate it!

Lingling, thanks so much for doing this! After reading this and seeing all in one place, how well everyone is doing, really makes me more motivated now! :thumbup:

Yah its fun to do it!!

Nearly ready to do it all again for this week tomorrow for me!

Remember to weigh yourself on Friday and let me know what your weight is!!

Hey you guys!! B_G just told me about this thread and I think it is a great place to keep up with our losses!! I agree, I think it would be fun to see how much weight we can lose as a group!! This is Thursday morning so I will " weight " ( get it ?? ) until in the morning to post mine! It always helps me to have to face someone on how I've been doing on my food choices!
