Hello
I have a wedding to go to on Oct 22nd and really want to be goal by then...that means 16 lbs in 9 weeks...Can I do it??? I really hope so! I am going to use this blog to help! I'm hoping that if I do a weekly check in that I will stay motivated! Please send some good tips or work outs that might help THANX GUYS
Hello
So I had a wonderful idea...I have been going to weight watchers since Jan (and have lost 26lbs) because I started to slack a little and need the motivation and the accountability...On the other hand I have the band and know what I need to do...and Weight Watchers is $13 a wk and we are trying to save to buy a house! So anyways I was thinking that I would weigh in every Thursday and post it on here as a blog just so I know that someone will see it and it will keep me in check! I hope no one minds ....SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY!!!
1st Thursday weight 176.8
Hi all!
I am happy to say that I am down 66 pounds, but not happy to say that I am stuck at 202! It has been two weeks and nothing. I want to break 200 so bad I can taste it!!! LOL Hopefully I will be posting soon with a scale pic of 199 or lower! Wish me luck as a start to step it up...I guess I am going to have to start exercising. I hate to admit it, but I haven't done any of it since I have been banded.
My first goal of having lost more then I need to lose, has been met! I am so happy! Go check out my signature and you will see. :smile2:
My second goal of being under 200 is getting close...I can not wait for this one!!! It's the one that means the most to me. :smile2:
Hope to be posting on here soon...
Hi everyone! I am so excited to be back!!! I had my baby on Oct 8th, a beautiful healthy boy, 8lbs 1 oz 21 inches long. We named him Timothy Jones III. So when I got pregnant I weighed 219 during pregnancy I gained 14lbs which had me delivering at 233. Now 1 week and a half later I am down to 210, which is 9lbs less then when I got pregnant. I am sooooo happy for the jumpstart and am ready to make up for some lost time. I have my walking shoes and stroller ready lol and with an infant and 2 year old who has time to eat!?! LOL Please join me on my way to keep losing, my first goal im setting is to lose this 10 lbs and get out of the 200's. Never thought I would c the day!!! Talk to everyone soon and I will post baby pics soon! :thumbup:
I have only had one fill and still am feeling great, in fact I feel really restricted! I emailed my doc today and he said I have 5cc's. Is that a lot? Is that like having 5 fills? I have no clue because at all of the classes I had to go through, no one ever mentioned numbers and amounts. I hope this isnt a dumb question! :bored:
Hi! It's been a long time since I have posted, but things are going great. I am 5.5 months pregnant, so the doctors are making me eat and eat and eat! Since I can only eat such a small amount at once I have to eat every 3 hours! And I can't go more then 10 hours without eating...so right before sleep I have to eat and as soon as I get up I have to eat....its hard! I have so much restriction in the morning and afternoon, but I am doing it, even if it is like a few bites of yogurt. I have a big ole' round belly (so cute) but I have only gained 1 lb (thank GOD)!!! So I think I am losing and the baby is gaining...but I am guessing...lol :eek: And in even bigger news my Princess is 2!!! Check out her new pics on my page... Take care and I will check in when I get closer to my lil mans birth.
It's a BOY!!!! Omg! I can't tell you how happy I am! I had a 4D ultrasound done today at 15 wks. :wink2: Little Timothy the 3rd is on his way...due Oct. 15th.
My husband laughs at me when I stand at the mirror and jiggle my arms in the air, but I hate them so much! I always wear some kind of sleeve or sweater or shrug. I am 28 and don't want to turn into Mr. Rogers. Does anyone have any good exercises for toning upper arms? I am sure after I hit goal I will need to get lypo on them, but I want to try and help now. They are the only bad art of my body. I am really pretty solid and not jiggly except for my arms and it drives me insane!!! HELP!!!
OMG!!! Please tell me someone else has watched her new show? I am so mad she is going around lying like that. I don't care what anone says that women has got nerve thinking we believe that at, 5'8, she weighs 230 lbs. She is so big all over (not just one spot). I tought maybe she was like 5'0 and just looked big becasue she was short, but then looked it up and saw she is 5'8. I really really would put her closer to 300 lbs. Am I wrong? Should I even care? LOL I don't know I just think if you are gonna do the show, be honest! Maybe she is that weight and the camera just adds a lot of lbs to her....lol
Who am I fooling? My old before pics were very flattering...lol and thats not what this site is about. So I sucked it up and put up a few "real" before pics. I have also updated my current photos. All straight on, no "self" pics (you know the ones you take of yourself from above that make everyone look hottt). All I can say is CHEESE! :thumbup:
Week 12 and I'm down 43lbs. I am so happy to see the numbers are still moving. I have been trying to walk everyday, I wish it wasn't so cold and wet out. I really, do, need to step up my water intake! Like I really really need too!!! Oppsies! LOL :rolleyes2:
It's week 11 and I am down 42lbs. I can really start to feel it now, and couldn't be happier. The first time I was pregnant I weighed over 260lbs and ended up at 280. I am happy to say that I am 217 pounds this time around, so by the end of everything I should still weigh a lot less then I started at last time! :rolleyes2: On another note this weekend I went to Tahoe with my husband and some friends and couldn't believe how much energy I had. We were out and about all day and night and I kept up. It feels really good to be losing weight and getting healthy. Ps as soon as my friend uploads the pics I will, finally, update my pics!!!
Week 10 and I am down 40lbs!!! I am very excited. I am hoping that I can drop as much as possible early in the pregnancy so that when I start gaining later, it won't be so bad. Hope it works! LOL
I was banded 9wks ago and am down 38lbs. Yesterday I felt real weird, like I did when I found out about my daughter, so I had my hubby pick me up a test. I am, simply, floored! I really can't believe it! I am thrilled, but really it couldn't have come at a scarier time!!! I wish it happened before I got banded. My docs said not to worry and that many women have babies who are banded, but I'm so worried! My doc said I can keep my fill and that babies live on nutrition not calories. That made me feel better. Can you believe it? I hope that all my hard work doesn't go away (does that sound awful)? I don't mean for it too, its just I have been trying so hard and don't want to go back. My baby will always be first, so I will keep up with the healthy food and excercise. And I'm sure after the baby I will be able to get a fill and start dropping again, right? Please anyone out there going through this or anyone who can make me feel better, please write to me! I need it! With my daughter I gained 18lbs, I hope I can do the same this time. Thanks all for listening! A very excited mommy to be!!!
OMG! I don't know what it is, but ever since I got the band (7wks ago) I have been really moody! Like not everyday or even every week, but when it happens, its scary. I feel so out of it! My hubby said, "Good lord you weren't even like this at 9mo pregnent" LOL! I just flip! Like so mean or so sad...today I cussed out someone on the tv! LOL like totally random....Am I the only one? Maybe i need more protein or something? LMAO ...I hope I'm not crazy.
Yesterday I went to a Superbowl party at my Aunties house. There were tons of family and friends there, most of which I haven't seen since before the band (or right right after I got it). So I told my husband on Saturday I wanted to go buy a new outfit because I have been rocking my size 18's and they are huge now. So I went to the store and even the 16's were too big. I thought oh no this has to be wrong so I tried on a few more pairs, but they were too big too. So I went over to the 14's and could not believe it!!! I'm a 14 now (granted its a 14wide lol woman), but still. I was so happy! So I bought 3 new pairs of jeans and one top. Anyway....I got to the party and everyone kept saying how good I looked and how they couldn't believe how much weight I had lost. Someone even said I saw you pull up and get out of the car and all I could think is there's Kelly, but where is the rest of her. LOL! It felt good (and I can tell my husband wasn't hating it he looked so proud of me he kept saying stuff like she is so motivated and she is doing awesome), but now I am starting to freak out. It's like this is real and I don't want to go back. I have yo-yo'ed my whole life and can't do it again. I wont! I mean thats the whole point of the band, to maintain, right? Ok see I know I am freaking out and have to stop...at least writing this makes my feel better! Ok see now I can go on about my day! :biggrin: Thanks for listening!!!
When I first started this journey I told everyone I was only going to weigh-in at my doc appts. I thought this way I would see the progress in the numbers. So, I waited until my 2 week appt to weigh. Then I waited until my 6th week appt to weigh again. But, then I bought a scale and said I would weigh in once a week (every monday). But, now I can't seem to stay off the damn thing! And I really really don't want to do that to myself! Plus I really think your body needs a full week to regulate to its weight loss and fluid gains and stuff, yet here I am weighing myself again when I just did on Monday. I NEED TO STOP!!!
Week 8 and I am down 37lbs. I am so happy and still in shock. Its weird too becasue its only been 8 weeks, yet it feels like I have had it forever. I had a real bad week, though, I need to step it up and get back on track this week (ie no more grazing and late night snacks). We just got a new place so I have had a lot of people over visiting (everyday) and have not been cooking. It was so nice to cook a good healthy meal tonight! Here's to getting back on track (wow its only been 8 weeks I really shouldn't have to be saying that). LOL
Week 7 and I am down 34 lbs! The band is amazing! I love being filled. I have only had one fill, but I can't imagine getting another one. It is so tight right now and I'm loving it.
I am going to be in a wedding in 14 wks! PLEASE ALL WISH ME LUCK! I haven't worn a dress in years (and never one with my arms out) so I am very worried about how I am going to look. I am challenging myself to lose 29 pounds so that I will be under 200 (even if it is only by a pound) lol. Please all check in on me and my journey! And I promise to write in and to post lots of pics on the days of the wedding. PS CAN YOU SAY NERVOUS WRECK!!! LMAO
I was banded on Dec. 10th, at 259 pounds. I woke up to very little pain and never ,even, needed the pain meds. I was crazy full the first 2 wks. At my 2wk check-up I had lost 16 pounds! I am now 243. I go back for a fill in 3 wks and can't wait to get weighed in (I still don't have a scale at home lol). It is a little harder now since I haven't had a fill and the swelling is down, but I still get full after about a cup to a cup and a half of food. I'm trying to stick to liquids and soft foods still ever though I am on stage three. I figure it will help me until I get a fill. Can't wait to see whats ahead!
