Oh Mo..I am so with you there. I have flirted with the 250's for the last couple of weeks. I would see it then go back up a few pounds. My scale this morning finally read 257.9. I did the happy dance, moved my scale to a different spot and checked again just to make sure!

I don't know why those 10 lb markers are such a huge mountain for me to climb. Once I get by them the weight seems to come off and stay off until...the next 10 pound mark. Then I usually spend a couple of weeks flirting with it, finally seeing it...going above it... seeing it...slipping back above it...It's MADDENING!!!!

exactly Linda - I lost pretty well in May and then a bit in June and by July it is almost zilch....I'm not banded - but still.........so glad it is moving along again - well at least budging lol

I didn't know you weren't banded. Wow - extra big congratulations on your WL. Are you waiting to be banded? Trying to get approval?

[MoOrLess 0]

nope - Linda - just working on it without a band - only have Medicare and they are being fickle about 'who' can do the surgery and 'who' can do fills - not a good situation for those mid-band and no fills so I'm just thankful to be embraced and encouraged by everyone on GFG and their support

Moorless & lindaV I too hit 259.8 this morning. I"m am so excited. Wow congrats on doing this not banded moorless. And Linda our stats have been so close since being banded. I talk to Susan today and I think I'm going to fly down and meet with her. She said you two met yesterday for lunch and had a wonderful time. Maybe we could all do dinner!

I'm going on a trip tomorrow! I'm going to fly in an airplane and see my mom and come home with lots and lots of money. I love my mom. I love trips. Flying is ok, but Dawg is not. *laughs*

Well as usual, I see an improvement on thursday (today) when it is not weigh in day, I hope I have an even bigger loss to report next wednesday. Also, the doctor's scale decided to agree with mine today. 2 weeks ago my scale said one thing and theirs said 3 lbs more.I was not happy. My scale is pretty consistant but theirs seems to be off. I go by my scale. Anyway, I got a fill today now I have 3.1 cc in my 4 cc band. I think I actually feel some restriction. I could have kicked my doctor though. I am going to post on that because I really need to vent about it and here isn't the place, so look for my thread titled "Why didn't he listen?" And let me know how you would have felt. Thanks in advance.

Okie.. I have updated the Members' Page and the Honors Page.

Please check your stats and position on the Honors page.

PM me if I need to make any corretions.

Great work everyone!

Grats to NaturalBeauty who has just hit the -100 pound mark!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thanks P'nut, it's been a great 15 months and I am happy to be here and be a part of the GFG club.

I celebrated by going shopping. I am now in a size 12R down from a 22W.

Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful time.

Congrats all, have a great weekend, P'nut and Dawg... the Dawgster will be fine!

For an NSV, I'm gonna go clothes shopping this weekend. I'm down to a Large shirt (from xxxl), and 36 pants (from 58), so I need some NEW CLOTHES! I'm getting pretty close to goal, and doubt my shirt size will decrease, and may at most go down one more pants size, so this time I can buy some REAL clothes, not discount stuff to keep the price low during transition.

Wish me luck, shopping at REGULAR stores... no more big men's shops for me!

BTW, isn't Mo doing great without a band! Heck, she'd be doing great if she had one too, but it takes a lot extra without, and she is setting an example for all of us banded folks... it is all about discipline and hard work!

[ericsmom 2]

Way to go, Paul! Have a great time shopping...I can't wait for the day when I don't have to go to Catherine's anymore You've done a phenomenal job! Make sure to post a picture in your new threads!
