it is going slow. . .but the right direction!

Hope everyone is doing well on their goals this year!

Thanks for starting the new challenge!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

well, it is actually post vday but i was out of town till late last night - weighed in this morning and much to my amazement. . .i made it!!! thanks ukcatsfan for this challenge - short term goals help so very much! and you did GREAT!!!!!

i am beyond amazed! i was gone for the weekend up in monterey and didn't track food - - i was sure i blew my goal and this morning i was 250.5 - - i am calling it 250 and then i am at my vday goal!!! i L-O-V-E my band!!

like several others have said, we have all been there and you do get through it. i am 5 months out and i do not "diet" and don't live on willpower. i work the band. as you guys add "real" food you will be able to add more protein and that will be a godsend! i ate cottage cheese for nearly every meal and snack during mushies and it really curbs the hunger. if it wasn't cottage cheese then it was scrambled eggs, another filling, protein rich meal. good luck to all of you in bandster hell - this too shall pass!!

Jaime, I couldn't sleep and decided to "troll" recent posts and saw yours. Jaime, my heart aches for you and your family and i am praying for your comfort. I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet little daughter. Know that love and care is being sent your way. Laura

Congratulations on your upcoming banding! it is the start of a new life! i started on June 1 at 338 and was 305 on day of surgery. I only record my weights on Mondays (to keep me less neurotic!) and last Monday i was 255 so down 83 pounds. i feel like a new person already. I still have 90 or so to go. And i can do it! this is an amazing ride, i tell ya'! You will do great on Wed and check in here often for help and advice.
