Yay, finally a loss!

Last week 224.8

This week 222.2

A loss of 2.6 pounds, but since I put on .2 last week, it's actually 2.4 towards my goal of a loss of 10.6. 8.2 to go!

I'm not sure what the difference was this week, but I'll bet it was the yard work I did, in addition to my Curves workouts. I was also able to cut my evening nibbling waaaay back. I can do this!!

Hello,

I love seeing your victories because it reminds me that I can do this.

Last week 206

This week 202

Loss 4

Goal 195 (7 to go)

This is a big loss because I got a fill on 9/3/09 and thought I would have to have some taken out because even liquids were going down very slowly. I am better with pure liquids but still very restricted. We decided to leave it and see how it goes and so far I am satisfied.

Keep it up! We can do this

Hi All!

I just joined today. My goal is to loose a total of 50 lbs since I started by Halloween - so that's about 9.5 lbs to go.

Looking forward to following all of your progress and supporting each other.

Welcome to the challenge! I've added you to the spreadsheet.

I haven't weighed yet this week. I ended up going out of town yesterday and had too much high fat/high sodium food. Gonna try a liquid detox tomorrow, then I'll hop on the scale.

Welcome! I would love to hear more about the indigestion issues. Since my last fill, I am having serious issues with GERD. We are trying a different medicine but if something doesn't change soon I am going to need to call my lapband doc. The acid is so bad that it is effecting my voice.

On the good note, I am down 2 lbs to 200 lbs. :( I actually saw onederland this week but of course not on the official weigh-in day. Looking forward to next week when surely onederland will be a permanent fixture in my life.

Keep working and let us know how you are doing!

tutornmom, be careful with that. It could mean that you're too tight. Don't let it go to long.

As for me, I've been out of town the last couple of Fridays (just got home tonight) and haven't weighed in yet. I'll post next Friday. We'll see what happens as I've had a fever & chills flu bug that closed me up tight. I haven't eaten since Wed night's dinner (woke up w/it thurs). :blushing:

scale will probably look really good in the AM once I jump on but by Friday, since I'm feeling better, probably won't look so good! LOL! We'll see!

Have a fantastic week y'all!

Good Friday Morning everyone!

Okay, here are my stats over the last couple of weeks. Being out of town and getting sick messed me up!

9/4 - 175.2

9/11 - 176.7

9/18 - no WI, out of town and sick w/flu but probably would've been up since I ATE really well and loved every minute of it til I got sick! LOL!

9/25 - 174.9

Goal is 170lbs.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Way to go Heartfire! Keep it up!

Hi everyone! I never got back with my results last week, but they were pretty bad. In fact, from the time I went out of town last week up til about Wednesday, I was a chow-hound. I think a lot of it was hormonal and I just didn't feel like fighting it. I also did not step foot into Curves all week - I feel like a slug. At one point I was actually up 4 pounds from my last weigh-in on the 11th, but I got on the scale today and had lost 3 of the 4. So, that puts me at 1 pound up from my last report on 9/11, which I'll take! (especially since it is TOM)

In a nutshell:

Last weigh-in 9/11 220.2

Today 221.2

Gain of 1 pound

Next week will be MUCH better!

      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!!
