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.

Rough week lots of overtime but I did lose put me down for 251. Around this weight is when I used to say OMG I'm getting fat need to lose weight.

LOL JT...I just reached that same point myself...it's all relative isn't it! Celebrate! You're on your way down forever!

Way to go, Madison !!!! Don't beat your self up for not meeting your goal, your still doing awesome !!!

Congrats to you too, Lingling !!!! Don't you just love the feeling that WE CAN DO THIS !!!!

BG, you are doing sooo good !!! Boy, when you hit onderland, you really dove in there !!!

193lbs for me, forgot to post yesterday :thumbup:

I forgot to post yesterday. I was 261. First week since banding that I gained. I'm trying not to get down about it since I know it's water weight and not fat, but it's still sad not to see those smaller numbers.

I gained a couple pounds because of my period, then I had to go to the ER for a kidney stone and gained over 6lbs from the IV fluids. I hoped it'd be coming off faster than this, but I just have to be patient. Those smaller numbers are coming soon. I can't wiat to be below 250. Then I'll be over half way to onderland.

HI everyone, again I have been MIA. My weight Friday was 227.4. I belive that is about the save. I have been so very frustrated- same - same -same. I have my 3rd fill on wednesday. I did get a new scale and that is messing with the head too. I had the 2 sitting side by side for several weeks and the new one does weigh heavier. I finally bit the bullet and put the old one up. The new one is the same brand as the doc uses and it will give me my % of body fat and hydration. Kinda cool but..

so I am hanign'

178 yesterday and finally did my ticker thingie.

Morning Everyone, well I am 3 post my third fill. I weighed 226.8 this morning. At the doctor office I had lost 4 lbs over the last 6 weeks, which was 4 more than I thought I would have lost. The new scale was messing with my numbers. So, I am moving along - slowly but surely. My next fill is in 4 weeks but I hope this one really gets things going.

187.4 this morning, only a pound more than my lowest post-stomach flu (!) weight. I had my 4th fill last Friday, and am really in the green zone! It's GREAT, my band works perfect now if I can just convince me head to follow its lead . . .

Happy Friday all!

195 gained 1/2 lb. and I'm not sure how...thought I had a good week.:thumbup:

Morning all. Weighed in today at 266. I go for my 2nd fill on Thursday. Not looking forward to all the poking again.

Have a wonderful week all!!!

Weighed in today at 211.6. YEAH!!!! 11.6 more lbs to my next goal- I can't wait. Isn't it crazy how powerful getting into the 100's is- or how much power we give it. Crazy mind games- I remember the day I tipped the scale at 200 lbs- gave up all hope after that. Now I am moving in the other direction!

259 today--I'm almost back to where I was 2 1/2 weeks ago before my period and my trip to the ER. I never thought it would take this long to get water weight off but I've just been up and down the same 3 pounds since I got those fluids. Maybe I was dehydrated? Oh well.

Now I've got a stomach thing going on. If I vomit again I'll probably have to go back to the Dr. and have them empty my band which will make me sad :thumbup: since I'm ni a good spot fill wise. Of course my head has been in a less good place with the weight loss lately. If only I could get the two in sync I'd be set.

Well I'm on the other side of the 200's....... did I say that right......

Anyway I'm at 249 today....

Hey you guys !! I'm going to change my name to "Pokey" !!! I lost 1 pd this wk. I go for a fill Thursday so maybe that will get me on the ball again. Hope everyone has a good wkend !!
