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.

Hey Doodle - Great that you want to join.

What I need from you is the following or your calculations won't work.

Highest weight - (ideally your pre-preopdiet weight) or at least your highest weight within 6mths pre-band. (as we want to track the band weightloss journey)

Last week's weight (if you have it)

This friday (17th April) Weight.

I weighed in this morning (it is Friday here already!) at 127.9kg or 281.4lb. Down 1.7lb or 800g from last week. Total running loss of 9.5kg or 20.9lb! Yay for me! Nearly 10kg in a month!!! If I can keep this up (which I won't be able to) I will be at goal in another five months. hahahah

Good luck everyone for their weigh in within the next 24hrs!!! We are kicking some butt!!! (our own, ironically!!)

Lingling, that is awesome - 20+ lbs in a month is wonderful! And you will keep it up because this has to feel so great, and it will motivate you to keep losing! Keep up the good work!!

HEY Guys Two days After surgery I was really happy about my li q-diet weight I broke the record at my center which was a total of 22lbs before li q-diet 321 and on Surgery Date 298 now 296 I'm so happy I could cry I haven't been this small since 10th grade =] sorry for talking for so long and this earlier on my end my body just wakes up for meds every two to three hours I'm so happy I'm gonna change so is my body and life and this is a wonderful support group I think I said that before XOXO Hannah- Jay aka Baby Bunny of the group lol

Good Morning!!! LingLing, Here are my ###'s

Highest---- 245

4-17---[ drum roll, please!!] 209

I can't remember last Fridays weight. Thank you so much for what you are doing! I think it is just great for you to keep up with all this info!

And Baby Bunny, aka Hanna, YOU GO GIRL!! I am so proud of you!! I've been keeping up with you and I remember you being scared of doing this but aren't you glad you did!!! Keep up the good work!!

224.5 today...not great, but I'll take it. It was an up and down week due to Easter travel. I've got to remind myself that the average for LB is 1.5-2 per week. It's not going to happen fast for me as a Low BMI'er and I need to accept that now or I'm going to go through this disappointed every week.

I'm glad that the fluids from surgery seem to be gone those first couple days when nothing was moving I was a bit disappointed, ok a lot, but now it seems to be gone. The pre-op nurse was very happy wiht the weight loss she had seen in my records but I'm not sure what weight she was comparing. Tuesday I have my post-op with the surgeon and it's at the office he did my initial consultation at and I weighed 328 we'll see what that scales shows next week. But for now my home scale says..............282

hey guys

So it friday day and I'm down!!! Here's the numbers

starting 255 last week 226 this weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek 220.

lost six pounds yaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My first 30 lbs are gone as of Thursday! I fought with the last 2 lbs for 2 weeks, but got my first fill on Monday and have regrouped and moving forward. I am definately going back for another fill in 2 weeks as I am still not feeling the restriction. There was some change but not enough, glad to know the option is there.

Congrats to everyone,, and the Friday weigh in was a great idea!

Good Morning and happy Friday! I weighed this morning and am down 3.8 lbs!! I am currently 307 EVEN! I am so hoping to be at 299.9 for my surgery day but I dont know if I will make it. I am currently doing my pre-op diet which is just super low carb and a lot of whole unprocessed foods. I am also drinking about 128oz of water a day, I want to make sure I am nice and hydrated for surgery since I have cruddy veins (and dont want to be stuck more than once lol) and I dont want to start at a deficit and try to catch up. So far so good. I know logically 3.8 is a HUGE loss but I keep thinking man why couldnt it have been a little more, I wonder if there is any number that would make me not do that? Good luck I am eager to see all our successes today!

changing weight woohoo!

30.7 pounds down Suergery last Wed. 8 April 2009

I am down to 215 today. 2# loss for this week. My dietician said I could possibly gain adding back in the foods this week so I am thankful that it was a loss and not a gain. You have all my other info.
