So Im in week 8 and down sixty pounds.. the last 3 or for pounds have been a bear to take off...my body seems content at this weight (278lbs). I have to fight everyday to maintain at least...

Over the labor day weekend i had 2 count them 2 mojitos...and gained 4 lbs in a day, you have got to be kidding me...well anyway that was sunday and today i have taking 3 lbs back off.. i must tell you they are not kidding about the alcohol...it is not worth it..just say no:cool:

Of course it was water weight so i expect it to be gone today and that would put me at 61lbs down.

and my allergies have kicked in..wow im really wining today huh..well i need to restart i think i will do liquids only again next week lets see what that does...maybe i can drop another 10lbs in sept and get to 268... thats sixty eight to goal.

Wow, Richard that is great!!! I had my band placed 7/22/08, in Mobile,Al. I have lost 24lbs so far. My Dr. did not require a pre-op diet.

I know what you mean about alcohol, I try to take the calories into account for the day. I only drink wine, mostly Chardanay, or White Zin. Would love a beer but rather scared to try it.

Keep up the great work!!

Your body will fluctuate 5 pounds every day.. between water, food etc.. i wouldnt sweat 5 pds going up and down! R u working out? If u r u may be building muscle! Dont put all ur faith in the scale.. go by your clothes, inches not just the numbers on the scale ( and this is coming from a chicka)
