Hello everyone Hi Suzanne - I wish I could go to a support group, but since I have someone there who might just kill me, I can't go :seeya: I worked on that chart so hard last night and can't figure out how to attach it so it looks pretty. How frustrating, but I am going to work on the shared document later and see if that will work, but I'll post something. Does everyone have gmail? if so I can re-do it there, it just won't look as pretty... well off to shower, I want to go to the gym today

Hi everyone here is my before, 1 year out and a couple weeks ago. The last one is not great, but we had to take pics for an accident report. sorry. 10lbs to my first ultimate goal, and 35 to where I want to be forever! It has been a long journey but I've learned to like me and to change how I eat and live, I would do it over in a minute! 1st 278 not even my worst!:seeya: 2nd 225 3rd 187

Hi Michelle - nice to meet you Terry - hi there... did you get the ticker... You have a few seasoned banders here, so if you have any questions just shout them out! Hi Kat... how are you doing? Tracy - we have to catch up one day, Hi Suzanne - how are you today?

That's funny Vicki - but so very true

HI GUYS| drive by post, been at football games since 5pm yesterday andd I'm tired and hungry, I have eaten nothing good for me, actually have coffee iv running through me right now Ok i'll be back later when I can finish our little chart and catch up, ds wants to ride his bike and dd has homecoming dance tonight... I'm so tired

Vicki that is not insane, my scale does the same thing, but I have a spot that is exact to my dr's scale, like come home and weigh my self exact. I have the spot marked based on the grout lines on my bathroom floor and I always make sure it is there when I weigh in. Find a spot for the scale and keep it there... You will make yourself crazy... Trust me, I've been there.

I kow it is bad.. but I on't eat fruit... never, the closest I get is lemon in my water. I usually don't do sweets either, I have been completely off sugar since Aug 1, so I don't even have a desire for it. I do love to cook, simple quick good things. Love garlic and cyanne. I think tomorrow I'm going to make scallops with zuccini, I really wanted it tonight but no time. I also made incredible chicken parm with french fried onions as a coating... and ps.. they are also good and low cal as a salad topping. DD gets a bagel sand every morning to start her day ... well, i just had another salad, don't know why wasn't hungry but it was so good, have to get ready for Homecoming game. it is so cold out!

Laura that is ok... look lose 10 and go to the dr and find out your scale was high and you lost 15 or 20??? LOL I am on a mission, so if anyone would like cooking ideas let me know, I am a killer cook and have learned to alter everything!

Take care of you and my kids have astma, so that is good to know, I better start drilling the little one who won't say anything... As for the challange, I'll put you on there, just a little extra motivation - hey you never know, maybe that added check in will help and you will blow your thanksgiving goal out of the Water :scared2: Well, I'm a happy little clam... I'm cleaning my room and now fit into my non stretch Old Navy pants that were given to me ....If my legs were not so big they would be perfect right now! but I would say, 5lbs and they will be perfect! that just makes me so happy

I could sit here all day, got most of the kitchen cleaned up but i think I'm going upstairs, my room is trashed because I am to the point were i need to get rid of clothes, ok been there for a few weeks, but when stuff doesn't fit, it just gets thrown around. Walked, today is my easy day so I figure cleaning is something I have been putting off, so good day to get it done! I'm sure I'll be back soon. lol

LMAO! that is just funny... and they talk about blondes????

Ok - if you don't want to post your weight, that is ok, I'll start you at 10 and track the - numbers... will that work?

Good Mornning everyone ok back on track, and down another lb. My ticker actually is where I'm going to be by 10/31, even if it was 12lbs to start. I increased my calories and changed up what I'm eating and still at about 1000 a day, but that is 300 more than I was getting and have lost 3lbs in 2 days. This might be a good thing. I go to see my nutritionist next friday and I'm gonna print out my jounal for her to look at. I have surgery on Thursday next week, so hope the pain meds don't mess me up too much. Have a great day, heading out for a walk. xoxo

Ok so here goes officially who is in? and details as of Yesterday... Jennifer 185.5 Tracy Suzanne Cari Laura Mimi??? Shalee??? anyone else? I'm going to do a chart up today 10lbs by 10/31!!! if you could all let me know that would be great! Make it a good day everyone - getting ready for my walk. xoxoxo to all

Cari - that is horrible. What you are dealing with sounds just like what I use to have to deal with... if it could go wrong it will... NO MORE... think happy thoughts, but you can vent whenever you would like :scared2:

Val that is great you maintained. I think that is huge Ok everyone have a great night!

Tracy - thanks sister... but 175 won't be good enough for me...LOL... You know what a wack job I am, but no less than 150, I will look sick the way I lose in some places so I'll be happy with that.. shoot at 180 my bmi goes from Obese to just over.... so I'm happy with that Cindy - You poor thing! I'm so sorry you have the Swine, and from the sounds of it came out of nowhere:eek: That is scary! Shalee - You are right at your height and being at 120, you could be a starving super model! My friend is 120 at 5'3" and she is very thin but looks healthy, so add 5" to that, I say go you.. you will no longer have obese bmi and already lost a lot! Tracy - again, I agree with you... nice new home :tongue2: Suzanne - ok sister! Here goes, when I do the log tomorrow I am going to put you down for -5 but I expect that you are going to lose 10... because I know you can do it! Look how far you came, and have delt with crapola too, time to take care of yourself, because if you don't how can you take care of the family? Well, if I missed someone I'm so sorry, I have a short attention span these days... but i hope you all have a good night and be good to yourselves:tt2: ok just did that because I wanted to

I'm glad I could help, but it is so true, and look, you got the fill thing undercontrol and are only 5lbs away from your goal?! That is great And same thing for me, my 1st ultimate goal is 175 and I am almost there, (10lbs) but I am 5'5" so I feel pretty good with myself and another 10lbs I will be very happy! so anything above and beyond that is a bonus.. So you being 5' and 140 is your goal... you have the same idealistic vision as me. It is good and You shoud be super proud! Guys stink... jklol...

Vicki - HELLO... you still lost 1.7.... I only lost 1.5 and that was after being stuck for 2 weeks.... so you go... no tears... :thumbup::wub: that is why we are here right???? support and motivation??? :tongue2:

Tracy - OK ... I'll Be waiting for your weigh in:thumbup: I'll work on that tonight while I am being lazy, yes I am very lazy at night, and Gray's season premier is on tonight so I'll be planted right here!

OMG Mimi - that is insane! First you are definately not a failure! Second... My dr told me the real results of the Band are to lose 40-50% of your excess weight, so how the heck does that make you a failure! what does he want you to be too skinny? I don't know how tall you are but my ultimate goal is 150 for me, and at 185 with clothes on... my friends are telling me I am skinny minny or I am going to blow away and there is no way I need to lose 35 more lbs! I think very different, but still... and that was with an overfill.... YOU GO !!!! holy smokes ... your dr makes me angry!:mad::mad2::biggrin: mine was proud of me when I hit 208...

Hello all I'll work on a tracking sheet ... Come on Tracy and Suzanne... I know you are in.... Laura - I see you... how about you? anyone?????? I am alson on a mission and will add it to the chart as being totally optional... but I am going to be -10lbs and -10inches lost OK I'm wound tight now, but you should all see me by 7pm, I'm ready to fall over...LOL

Good Morning all glad to see everyone here today! I was going to post this morning but running late hi Laura - I use my fitness pal or daily plate is another good one, both online and both track all nutrition value, I have only been getting 700 cals so I'm trying to up that, but I love it because I can put my exercise in and it tracks everything, next week I print out my journal pages and take them to my nutritionist. I need to be accountable... anyone up for a challange to lose 10lbs by Halloween????? Weigh in here once a week? Friday mornings before the weekend so we can allow ourselves a bad day? Any takers? Well, finishing my breakfast and heading to the gym. xoxoxo be back

That is great Rain! I increased my calories yesterday to 1100, and that was hard to do without eating junk food! I'll be back to check and see how great everyone else did

Hi everyone for someone who is not working, I sure get up early...LOL I almost cried this am, have not lost an ounce in 2 weeks and today, weigh in day, I am down 1.5lbs... could be better but I'm down so yipee!!! Can't wait to see everyone else's progress
