Thanks Holly.

Also my fills cost $350.00 each. So if I can do this without having to get too many fills then thats more money in the pot for a Tummy Tuck down the road. :-D Lord knows I am gonna need one and maybe a Breast Lift. My poor girls are sure deflating and heading down, down down.

Hi All, Just checking in. I have no weight loss to report. I am one of those that also cannot understand how I can eat this much with 8.4 cc's in my band. Have another fill scheduled for Weds a.m.. Since I get so tight right after, I think I am going to have to go often and do very small fills until I hit the right spot. Chicken, beef, you name it, it goes down.

I am in Rhode Island until Tues a.m. Cleaning, Cleaning, cleaning. I think the work I'm doing makes me believe I "deserve" the treats I'm eating, but I know I'm not doing that much work. Too many of those 100 calorie snack packs ( and no scale here). I won't be buying those packs anymore. I thought I was back on track after vacation but I am off my old routine.
And the wedding looms large!

Hopefully after my fill, I'll lose a few.

Hi everyone,
Hope all is going well in band land!
I went to my DR yesterday (5-15-08) and found out that I lost 10.5 pounds since my last visit on April 14, 2008!!!!!
I thought that I was not doing so well-- but then I always think that :)
I have been exercising more, riding my bike and walking.
I did ask for another fill. A week before my visit I always feel like I can eat more than I should. Now it is never as much as I used to could eat,, but it worries me. I ate a piece of cake on Mothers Day and I don't think I should have been able to eat that !! LOL
He put 1/2 cc in me. I think I have 7 cc's and my band is a 10cc but I'm not sure.
My DR recommends clear liquid the day after a fill and so far I haven't even wanted food. I love the super full feeling I'm getting with just water and soup (OK, so now you all know that I'm crazy LOL)


Ok so when I accepted this challenge I was at 246 my current weight is 238!!! total of 8 Pounds lost.

finally a new lb lost after more than 2 months without any loss at all... woohoo !!!

I lost 2 lbs since my fill on tues.....so far so good.....its kinda a good thing to be scared to eat, going for soft foods right now.....everyone keep up the good work.....
Debbie

Thanks Cindy... I just hope I don't yo-yo on that 1 lb. I get another fill on Tuesday so I'm hoping from there on in it's down all the way! Can't wait to see you in onederland!!

Good on you Debbie, keep them coming I say!

Congratulations Sades! Love the look the chart.. Very pretty.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Cindy

Thanks Cindy it feels great to lose more even if it's only 1 lb. That font makes it easier to keep the list neat... I must be anal!

I am anal as well. Must be from my corporate world days and having to do many reports. LOL I am glad your losing...I know how frustrating it has been for you. You are losing the weight I am not...you will catch up to us soon...

Cindy

It's funny but I'm omly anal about certain things and messy in others.

I am so glad to be reporting new weight loss. I had been sabotaging myself for too long and I hope that I will be able to get past that as I try to lose more.

I hope you continue to lose Cindy, you're probably at a bit of a plateau... you've got to hit that 100 lbs soon!!

WTG on the losses, guys. I've been doing too much stress eating. It's been a hobby that sadly I have picked back up. :P I am working on it this weekend because I know I've gained a couple lbs back and I do NOT like it. Back to basics, as they say. I don't see how I'll make 159 by June 21st, but the unexpected is always possible, I suppose.

It's so easy to do Steph but you've achieved so much so far that no doubt you'll get back on track.

Well, I finally lost 1lb. I have been on this plateau for weeks. The water aerobics and the fill seem to be kicking in. Here is hoping to a whole bunch more soon.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Cindy

I have no weight gain or loss to report on this challenge yet. Got a fill this a.m .3cc, think I need more but have decided to go a little at a time.
Driving back to RI now, just came home to Ct for the appt.

Don;t have much time for the forum lately. things will calm down soon and I'll check in on all the great weight losses I'm sure you're all posting!!!
