Congrats, everyone! :tt1: The holidays were tough for me, also. I went way up, then got a fill and came back down. So, not sure how much total I am down, but I am down 1.5 from where my ticker last moved :eek: (I don't like to move my ticker for scale fluctuations :eek:).

Happy New Year!

Down 2 lbs this week! Finally! I had been holding steady at half to one pound a week for the last month or so. Happy to see more than a pound loss this week!

Good luck everyone!

I busted into the 180's today, just barely. I'm 189.8 and just a few pounds away from breaking the 100 pound lost mark.

I'm also just as close to a few other important things: having my BMI move out of the "obese" category into the "overweight" category, and - this one is big - weighing less than my husband. LOL

Finally down one lb this week. I keep going up and down.

It's so frustrating to lose so slowly.

Hang in there everyone.

RGuay and Onthewayto Thin. I see our WL is very comparable. Its encouraging to see others who are losing slower like me sticking with it. I just keep reminding myself. Losing 50lbs in a little over 6 months are excellent results and for once I finished the year significantly lower than how it began!!

I'm also doing the little up, little down routine. I'm up a pound this week. It's really frustrating after losing quite steadily for the first 8 months. *sigh*

Hello fellow banditos!

I'm so excited to report that I am in ONEderland now! It's been a long time since I've seen this number. I recently kicked up my workouts to 6 days a week for an hour each day. It seemed to get me off that plateau and into the 100's. I don't have a lot of restriction at this time even though my last fill was 11/17 (filling me to 2.1 cc's). I'm having to exercise more will power, but that's okay. This is for life!

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
