I know the idea of a weekly weigh-in has been thrown around a couple times, but I haven't seen an actual thread started on it, sooooo......

What do you think, weekly weigh in?

If so, what day? I'm partial to weekends, just cuz I'm more likely to weigh myself on the weekends, but I'll go with the majority vote.

i like the idea of weigh-ins, im ok with anyday

Thanks for starting this thread! I'm willing to do whatever day works best for everyone else, but I just joined a Labor Day Challenge on the General Thread, and I think we are going to weigh on Mondays, so I thought I'd throw that out there as a suggestion. I can weigh any day though. I don't mind weighing more than once a week and just tracking the different days' weights on different threads.

since there's only a few of us interested so far, and 2 of us don't care what day, let's go with Amy's suggestion of Monday! :wub:

that is fine with me so are we tracking our losses, do we want to do a start weight or should we use the weights in our tickers as our start weight.

I say we go with whatever we weigh this coming Monday as our starting weights.

are we doing this for pre-ops or just post-op people?

I say pre-op or post-op...doesn't matter to me. Aren't we all trying to lose weight?

i agree...im pre-op and im doing it

i'd really like to see % of weight lost, but i know... that means MATH!

but since i'm heavier than a lot of folks, i like the %'s better. it has more meaning for me.

just my opinion.

SW- 345 (as of july 10)- i needed a SW

CW-332.6

i can't remember what i weighed on monday so im just going to use my pre-op diet weight as a start weight. we never really discussed a format or anything so this is how i will do mine going forward.

LW WI (last week weigh in)

CW (current weight)

if you guys come up with something else let me know.

Ok guys, here is my weekly weigh in

Today's weight 217.00

Surgery Day's weight 226.50

I have lost 9.5 lbs in 10 days!

:smile:

Hi I like this thread. I want to join in. I weighed myself today. I didnt weigh myself before my surgery so I dont know how much I lost preop. I do have my starting weight on the day I was banded though, last Thursday. So four days post op and Ive lost a pound and a half. Not bad.

07/20/2009 -1.5

congrats losers

hey we need more people to chime in....tell us about those great losses

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--262 (07/20/09)

Eight pounds in two weeks is great, but I admit I was still disappointed it wasn't more since I was on liquids the whole time. I only expect the average 1-2 pounds a week once I can eat more normally, but I thought it would be more for my high BMI being only on liquids. Does that even make sense? Anyway, it's a loss, and I'll take it.

hey aivey congrats on the 8lbs, take it and enjoy it.

keep up the good work
