About the "LOST" collumn...since we are just starting from our current position, don't we put zero to begin? (Not what we've lost since surgery, right?)

I'm befuddled.

I sure hope my weightloss will pick up, its going so slow for some reason, I'm barely losing 1 pound in a week, if that! I was in October down to 167, then I was eating around the band, had to get on steroids for 6 weeks, and jumped clear back up to 184!

I've been exercising the past 3 weeks 6 days a week, I've been eating really good, and watching my portions. I got a fill on 4/7 and I'm pretty restricted for the most part. I still can eat regular bites of food, but I get full quick, so I don't think I need another fill. I just need to make sure I make the right food choices. Anyhow, I would love to lose 25 by the time my cruise comes around, and I'm actually going to aim at that, but I will be really happy to lose 19, so that will put me down to 160! I am just frustrated on how long it takes me to lose 1 freaken pound!

The last challenge I joined late, and was only in it for 3 weeks, but guess how much I lost by trying for 3 weeks - yep you guessed it, 2.7 pounds, thats it. I guess each pound I should be grateful for, but man, its hard work losing it.

I will continue to exercise and continue to plug away and hopefully will be on the road to reach my goal weight eventually which is 145!

I think so, thats the way I've always done it. Even though I've lost more, I want to keep track of what I lose during the "challenge", so I put my starting weight as of this morning down, and my goal weight I want to weigh at the end of the challenge, for me it will be June 29th, I leave for vacation that day and will not have access to scales - plus I probably won't be "trying" while on vacation.

How tall are you Stef? I noticed our stats were very similar, even our age! I also don't live too far from you, I'm in Oklahoma.
