Sep 9th , 54 laps in the pool.

Sep 4th , 54 laps swimming, 1hr 10mins before work. I weighed again today and got another good loss.

Fairydust, This is soooo typical. After surgery your body is going to be in recovery mode. Its got alot of IV fluid in it and your body is holding on to everything incase something else happens. I lost extreemely little in the two weeks after surgery. Now its falling off! I know its hard but just hang in there. The worst is ppl that know you have had it and they say...well how much have you lost? thats why i told hardly anyone. I used to Service the Air Conditioning in Lloyds Bank in Chalfont and Uxbridge. All those villages around there are so nice. I really liked Cheasham too. Nice to live on the coast.

Yeah Really. I think even if i did have to self pay it probably would of been the best investment i could of made! I feel guilty as my diet has been a little off this weekend with traveling for a wedding and i gave myself a little break yesterday. Im back on today but i cant get to the YMCA today as there closed (American Labor Day thing). I actually cant wait untill tomorrow when i can exercise really good and get back to my regualr 1200-1400 calories. How weird is that? I want to exercise. Ok did you ever hear of Hemel Hempstead? Thats where i lived and worked and played all over London every day. I miss it sometimes. I like the big city feel. I think i would be happy living in New York City for a while.

Welcome Fairlydust. I was born and lived in London UK untill i was 22 and moved to the states. I saw a few ppl were banded on the NHS, how can that even be possible?

Sep 3rd, 50 mins walking round Zoo and chasing the little ones!

September 1st, 50 laps swimming. 1250 yards. September 2nd- Nothing, went to a wedding in Chicargo.

Ok after this week i need to keep by exercising going though Sept. I have a possible fill coming up in Sept to as i am sure most of you do. I am looking to try and get to the YMCA 6 days a week. Anyone want to join me. It REALLY pays off when i exercise hard as i have a sit in a chair all day job. I am hopeing to get to 399LBS by Sept. So im thinking i can shoot for 20LBS by October. Commit here and update to keep it up! Commitment: 26 Days of exercise in Sept!

Delta- I visted Montreal in April this year for buisness. It was kinda cool to get out the States on one of my buisness trips. Now i am going to be going there every year about April. I have got to get my french up to a better speed this year.

Dibaby- Thanks, hope your feeling better. im watching you closely and cheering you on for that last 23LBS!

Banded August 6th and i reached my weight loss goal. 45 pounds this month.

Friday 31st, 60 laps swiming. Reached my August Goal:)

yep i did call in and let the supervisor that wasnt cool. Anyway up to 60 laps a day now! 50 most days, did 60 yesterday. Lovin it.

I saw your excersize progress bar for August,...CONGRATS on going past your goal for the month, that is awesome! How did you do it??? I have a question for you... How much exercise did you do in the beginning of your weight loss. For me I can walk some but too much and I start to get shooting pains down my sciatica even worse than normal. I'd say the most I do right now is about 20-25 minutes (at a very slow pace) only completing about 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile in that time frame. For me walking really hurt me too much, huge back and ankle problems after about 20mins. I started to swim again and its perfect. i have worked up to 50 laps in about an hour. Thats 1450 Calories at my weight! I know its not for everyone but its really working for me. I was banded Aug 6th and could do none for 2 weeks. Then i started doing 6 days a week, hour a day and ive lost nearly 40lbs for the month of August.:faint:

ok, Thursday 30th. 50 laps of pool, 1250 yards.

Thanks Areellady, its nice to know people notice things like that and care about how well your doing. Im on my way out the door to the gym, 4.15am! ahhhhhh! i was just checking the weather to see if it was ok to ride my motorcycle in and i couldnt resist looking in here.

Ok all time record today. 60 Laps of pool in 1:15. Thats 1500 yards. Keep it up everyone.

Hey thanks. I got my new digital scale today that goes up to 440LBS. I got it off ebay for yes.......$1 Shipping was like $17. It actually works though (Thank God). Read my wifes weight correctly too. Been exercising 6 days a week at the pool and really watching my calories on Fitday.com

Today was my weigh day to. Im reallying pushing to lose 40lbs for the month of august.
