dumb thing cut my words out..*i'm stuck on the same weight!

been doing really good since my nutrition visitbut for some reason my weight is stuck but im gonna blame it on pre menstrual bloating 2 more days and i get my last test im so ready for this band

i'm excited for my surgery seeing how much weight you've lost! congratulations!!

POSA? I did not know you had that. I gained all my weight ( 110lbs ) in the last 3-4 years so I know how you feel. See, I was diagnosed with thyroid while gaining all that weight out of nowhere.

I am so excited that we had the surgery on the same day!!!

P.S. you look great! It does not appear that you need to lose any weight!

Hey there, how's your weight loss coming along? Its so hard to give pointers these days since I havent lost a pound in a couple of months now (think I need a fill). The best advice I can give is to make sure you are working out at least 3-4 times a week (I was doing 5-6 times in the beginning) and make conscious decisions of what you are eating. The band does limit the amount of food you can eat, but it doesnt always limit what you are eating. Heavy starches like bread, certain pasta, rice, gives me a hard time but i can live without. Chips on the other hand, is my weakness and it does not limit that for me really. So just beware. Count your calories. Know of what it takes to burn those calories off and you may think twice before making a bad decision. 30 minutes on the elliptical at a pretty steady pace burns about 350 for me and that's pretty hard work. So some times when I go for that bag of chips and thats 280 cals, it doesnt seem worth it.

Yay congrats on your weight loss!! That's such great news! You'll be eating regular food again before you know it! ;o) Thanks for all the info!!

I've been heavy alllllllll my life. Only time I recall being average weight was about age 3! And that is only because i've seen it in pictures!

Thanks Rebecca, I think you get spoiled with how much weight is lost in the beginning it is hard to slow down or come to a halt until you start dropping again. I get another fill on Friday, God willing, hope to be under 200 before year end...God Bless, M-

Hi Eileen,I think your 39 pounds is fantastic.The fact that your weight is consistently going down is great. I'm not sure there is a "should" have as far as how much we each should lose. I really had not calculated it, but since you asked, I sat down and charted it out . I'm in week #14 & have lost 50 # including pre-op (10 #). My losses are a bit lower recently compared to August. I'm 183 at my morning weigh in. I still weigh every day - bad I know, and I'm not going to the gym, but I walk at least a mile every day. I have no complaints. I realize my loss is probably above average and I'm glad for that - I just don't want that to be discouraging for anyone else. I wish I could get to a gym like you do, I know that has to be firming up areas that need it . . I have pretty bad bat wings and my belly just doesn't want to go down as much as I would like. . ..ah well . .. in time! Thanks for keeping in touch! Rose

Thanks for responding to my blog. I am at the gym 3-4 times a week. I write my weight down on a log every Sunday. I look at 10lbs intervals only because if I had to look at the "LARGE" picture, I think I would get too discouraged.We think alike . Keep up the good work.

This is my tracker for my weight loss. As you can see I love XMAS.. My favorite time of the year...

I actually lost 8 lbs during my 6 months and gained it all back. I am on my 4th day of preop and lost 4 lbs in 48 hours. It isn't easy but I think its getting a little easier.

I have simular issue with being under 35 BMI and gaining every month , I am in Melbourne can I get any tips or doctors name as to how to get in befoer 35 BMI

Hi Marig . . how are things going? I hope your weight loss is continuing and you are doing well!

What a inspiration you are! I just had my band on the 29th of dec! My highest weight was 440 and I'm down to 384! How long did it take you to loose all of that? I would love to chit chat some time !

Hey, I'm 5'3 and 225 lbs! I saw your pictures as well and was amazed! My goal weight is 135 and I hope I look as good as you do when everything's said and done. =)

Hey Trish Hows it going?? I am struggling to get this 10 lbs off that I gained after my slip but the scale is finally moving!! Hope things are going good for you!!!

Heyyy congrats on ur amazing weight loss!!! How did you lose 100 pounds in so little time?

Do you have the Zumba workout DVD at home. As for you weight lose that is really good. I have started tracking what I eat and going to Zumba 3 times and circuit training once a week

crazzy to say i never really work out my legs because most of my weight i carry it on my upper body. i'm what they call an up side down pear shape. So as a result my legs seem to very stong, can't say much about top but i'mm working on it.

my start weight was 220 now 169 total 60 lb loss.

good luck with ur weight loss.

Hi Vikki. Congrats on your weight loss. You are a real inspiration. I have been banded for almost 10 months and have only lost 40 lbs. It gets to be very discouraging, but seeing your weight loss is very motivating to me. Keep up the good work!
