...old timer.....OLD TIMER.....you talking to me.....YOU talking to ME????....

well just in case.....I'm OFFICIALLY DOWN ****ONE*** pound in the past 3 months!!!!

And that means I am *only* 30 lbs from my goal...

which is pretty much where I've been for 2 years now.....

Maybe the tare weight on my new prosthesis will take a couple more off...hmmfph.....

Whoa! Cowboy! You shoulda told me that you were going public with this little face-off!

I've been out of combat for the last few weeks. I kind of hit the skids diet-wise - I've been doing this without a fill, so I'm working with no restriction, and losing by dieting. I'd lost 97 pounds at one point, but over the summer, with vacations and dealing with renovation stress, I pretty much screwed the pooch, and got back to my old and bad eating habits from the Bad Old Days.

But I'm back now. I got my first fill this week - 3 cc in a 14 cc AP-L band . Zero restriction, but I'm BACK, baby! I weighed in this morning, and it's bad, but not as bad as I'd thought: I'm up 15 pounds.

SO, Cowboy? This thing is ON!!!

And any of youz who want to join in, it's time to weigh in on Monday. Let's see how we do Week by Week. I guess we can tally up at the beginning of each week, and see who're the winners by Pounds, and by Percentage of Total Body Weight Lost...

**Jack** · 09-21-2008, 05:47 PM

The most and fastest I ever lost was in the 6 months BEFORE my first fill.

Fenton · 09-21-2008, 09:00 PM

Of course, the heavier you are, the faster you lose.

Jack knows that all too well - now that he has the build of a 14 year old ballet dancer, losing those last 30 has become increasingly challenging!

Welcome back Fenton. As you probably already found out, a couple weeks ago I had a bad week and put back on 3lbs. I had a fill a couple days after that, and unfortunately it kicked my butt. I ended up in the hospital for a couple days, and then got put on bed rest for a week. I havent even made a post on here since then.

Anyway, I was dreading the scales this morning, since I havent doen ANYTHING in a couple weeks. Not to mention my fill had to be taken out so I have no restriction. Anyway, like you, I figured it would have been worse than it was, but I did gain 11lbs in the last 2-3 weeks. Back up to 427.

Actually 5 pounds heavier than when I started this comp.

Anyway, game on now. Glad to have you back. Apparently I need the motivation. Expect a good loss for me next week!

welcome back guys and good luck !

Fenton · 09-22-2008, 01:48 PM

Sorry to hear about your setback there, Cowboy, and glad that they fixed you up.

Looks like you're doing great there, Mike! An inspiration to us all...

Wow, the trash talking has started!! Glad to hear you back on track, Fenton. You too, Cowboy.

bigrick · 09-23-2008, 05:48 PM

Glad to hear every one is back on track. I will be watching! For myself my initial weight loss was Great! Lost like 35 lbs in 2.5 weeks and then WHAP. I havent lost an ounce in 6 weeks, going for 2nd fill beginning of October, hopefully it will get things moving again.

mediummike · 09-25-2008, 09:31 AM

I know I am "off cycle", but I weigh myself on Thursday's (and Thursday's only). Down 1 lb this week and down 22.8% since banded.

Fenton · 09-25-2008, 11:41 AM

BigRick, great on that first loss! What's going on with you now? Are you eating the wrong foods, or too much? Are you getting in some exercise?

Good work, Mike - you've really got down to a much healthier weight, and really quickly.

Cowboy, where are you? I'm steamrolling forward. Doing well, although I screwed the pooch a little yesterday. Back in the saddle today. I hope you're working on this!

PRCowboy · 09-25-2008, 01:42 PM

Hey Fenton -

I'm back on the program this week. Doing good so far. Program works if you follow it, huh...imagine that!

I'll be ready for my weigh in on Monday, you just be ready for your beating

bigrick · 09-28-2008, 01:43 PM

Naw, think my system was just in shock because now I have started down again. Still hiking on average about 4-6 miles give or take almost every day that I can. Most of my clothes are really starting to hang on me and I have begun to pull out some old one that I havent worn in awhile so all in all I think things are going really well!
