Let's see 1/4 of a pound is what - 4 ounces? (16 ounces ina pound, right?) You are WAY ahead of me with your super duper 5.8 ounces a week.
I like the atomic unit thing - too bad I'm not smart enough to figure all that out. I don't think I'll go for the Stones idea( I have to admit, I've never heard of Sacks!) If I remember right, isn't a stone the equivalent of 16 pounds? If I'm losing 1/4 of a pound, that's only 1/64th of a stone! Too depressing. We have to go use the atomic units, or troy ounces or something like that.

City: Denver State: Colorado | Hey Candy - our posts crossed.
Your math is right. You are losing an average of .4 pounds a week.
I have not kept track of how many members the slow losers have now. We should do a roll call.
Smart move not keeping a scale in the house!

City: Northfield State: MN | I'm here, I'm here. I got a fill. .75 cc's. I can already feel that I'm way more restricted. Here's hoping it works!

City: Allen (Dallas Metro) State: TX | Oh you guys!! I LOVE the Turtle Power and Turtle Spokes Model stuff. It's great. If I ever get my band, perhaps I will join your Turtle-riffic group.

City: Kansas City Area State: MO | Going for a slight tweak in my band this weds. oct. 19 - thinking maybe .2 or .3 - although maybe i should cancel it - i have ok restriction - I don't keep scales in the house - but i have noticied a NSV - my shirts are getting looser!! Not my pants yet - but yes my shirts are definately a little looser. i guess I should find buy a scale tomorrow to see exactly how much i've lost since my last one - and then I should cancel ? What do you think?

What do you think? | Ooooh, that's a toughie. I have okay restriction, too. It could be better, but I'm trying to make it work. Of course, I pay cash for fills so that definately plays into the equation. The smallest bit can make the biggest difference. I say go for it.

City: Kansas City Area State: MO | yes I pay cash for fills also that's why i was thinking of holding off since i could use that money to go get my hair & nails done, but then I thought no I need to put my band first and I think I need a tweak to get this to optimum level so I think I might go ahead and do it
