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.

i was on a plateau but am moving down again! good luck to all!!

ukcatsfan - congrats on your loss and on your fill!! i was on a plateau too but seem to be moving down again. i have 5 pounds to go on my valentines day challenge . . .and i CAN DO IT! good luck to all.

COLady, I am so happy that you are going to support group and thinking about therapy. you deserve to feel great and you will in 2009! i for one am proud of you!! keep us posted.

Sounds like we are all doing really well towards our valentines day goals. i only am trying to weigh on mondays (i am in a self impoosed 12-step program for scale addicts!!) so won't know how i am doing but feel like i am doing well. had my first appointment with a personal trainer today and am meeting with her tomorrow too and then 3 times a week. i am SO EXCITED to get into a real routine. And it should help get me to my 15 pound valentine goal to boot! have a great weekend everyone!

hey Jackie, good to hear you are still doing well and staying full longer. that is really what i notice since my fill as well. the band is working - yippee!!

Looks like i got dropped off so am re entering. I am having a hard "snacky" day and am hoping for a better day tomorrow!!
