Cya guys next friday...happy losing !!!!

Well Expresco303, I hear you on the Sees Candy. I am from CA and I really miss it in PA.

My Sister-in-Law ordered some, and being sweet, she gave me a box.

I took it to a party because I knew over a few days, I would eat the whole thing.

I did eat three pieces. Enough, my weight loss is already too slow.

I really hope my next fill (Monday) helps.

Ann- you're doing fantastic! I can't wait to be a size 12!!! Do you measure your foods? I try to- my doc is adamant on that fact. I was snacking a bit here and there, so I told him I needed a fill. He gave me a small one, and I think it's helping.

I get really frustrated when my weight fluctuates. It's almost addicting to see the scale move downward!

I also notice my periods affect my weight loss- but my periods are still somewhat erratic. As my weight decreases (and I exercise pretty regularly) I notice my periods getting closer to regular though.

Thanks! I don't measure my foods (except the ingredients in my protein shakes) but I probably should! I just ate some cheese at lunch and kept slicing away at the block. When I went to wrap it up, I noticed that there were marks on the wrapper that showed you where to cut for one ounce slices. I thought I had eaten 2 ounces of cheese, yet it turns out I ate three! :ohmy: And now, suddenly, I feel overfull. So, your doc is smart. Measure and then put the food away. That's what I did at the beginning, and I'm starting to slip.

I get frustrated when my weight fluctuates for more than a week. It always seems to go up around my TOM, but this week (the week after) it has gone up, then down, then up. Ugh! That's two weeks out of the month, and it's really disheartening. I think less exercise has a lot to do with it also. I'm bad about getting out in the cold weather.

I'm not even looking at the scale. It's TOM and I've been having a tough week with all the fudge and See's being shipped to work sigh. I'll get back on track and weigh myself next Friday.

Ann you truly are an inspiration!! How is everyone else doing this week?

Last Friday 218 lbs

today 217 lbs

Down one, which I was hoping for more but.....I am officially past the halfway point! YAY!

Good luck to all through the holiday!

Up a few ounces this week. I hope the fill on Monday helps. Ten lbs in three months is not fast enough for me.

Good luck to everyone next week.

Happy Holidays!

Last week- 201.2

This week- 197.0

I'm past my halfway point AND under 200 for the first time in memory! I can hardly believe it...

That being said, that's a little too much weight loss for one week. I had finals this week and I have no doubt stress accounts for half of it. Here's hoping for a more gradual week with no bounce back.

Congratulations carriemc78 on also being past your halfway point! Hang in there everyone, you CAN lose weight through the holidays :biggrin:.

Congratulations, everyone! I lost the 2.5 that I gained last week, plus another .5, for a total loss of 3 lbs this week. I'm losing restriction, though. I am eating way too much and getting really hungry between meals. I think I need to go back for a tiny fill, but after having two unfills, now I'm afraid. I feel like it's a very fine line now between just right and either too tight or too loose. *sigh*

But, let's all keep on keepin' on and we'll get through these holidays with great cheer! :sad::biggrin:

I know what you mean about a fine line ANN. Sometimes I'm not sure if I need a tiny fill or not. One day I may feel kind of tight and must be careful to chew really well so I don't pb, and other days I feel like I can eat a lot. My doc said it's normal to have some fluctuations though. I try to keep hydrated always- as I read that can change how restricted or unrestricted you feel!

My doc is conservative with fills- I have to be at the same weight for 2 weeks first. . .

For right now I"m losing, but more slowly than I'd like. It's partly due to missing some of my exercise though- I have to make some more time for that!

Hello everyone I've been away for awhile

Hi, everyone! I'm checking in today rather than tomorrow, since I will be very busy then. I lost 0.5 this week. I was thrilled when I saw that scale move, let me tell you. lol I have been eating anything that's not nailed down it seems. I've lost restriction in what seemed like the blink of an eye. Not only can I eat huge amounts, but I'm hungry all the time! So, I called the PA yesterday, and I'm going in next week for a tiny fill. It has to be tiny because any time I've gone past the 7 cc mark, I've had to back down again. I believe I'm at 6.75 now.

I wish you all a delightful holiday weekend!

PS -- Julie, good to see you on here again! You're doing great!

Last week- 197

This week- 197

I figured as much! I got a slight unfill on the 22nd (.25) and I can eat so much easier now. This current weight isn't counting Christmas cookies from an early family dinner, lol! Oh man, when I'm bad I'm BAD.

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful day full of family, friends and good food!

Happy Holidays to everyone. I'm proudly to say that I only have 12 lbs to my goal. Thinking of christmas and the best present I could ever have is that I've lost weight & thankful for the lap band.
