I've reached my sept goal. Today I've lost 12 lbs. yes I am happy about it but I am hungry.

Maria, I weigh self naked, dressed, before and after going to the bathroom before and after I eat(when I used to eat) before I go to bed... I take a scale on vaction, sometimes. I admire someone who can stay away from the scale especially while losing weight!

I plan not to go back up the scale so I'll just report my losses as they happen!

"Hello, my name is Lila and I am addicted to scales".

MIGAWD...you are CRAZY girl!!!!!

LOL

Congrats, Lila! and yes, you are nuts! LOL

I think you need to recruit someone to hide the scale on you. You're gonna drive yourself insane doing that! Especially when the lulls in losing come!

Lila, Congrats about your weight loss. You are doing great! :clap2: :clap2:

I kinda understand about the frequent weigh ins. I now try to limit it to once a week now but it's just so hard to resist the temptation, but bringing a scale with you on vacation??!!!

Anyway, I got some good news today. Yesterday, I joined Canadian Lapbanders. I posted a messages that asked if anyone lived near where I lived and if so, did they know of someone who did fills around here. I received several replies. Dr Coburn was in Ottawa recently and trained a physician to do fills. I called his office today but he could not do the fill until late October. It happens that he is recovering from surgery himself. So I am off to Mississauga for my first fill but after that I will be able to have them in Ottawa. Ottawa is only 1 hours drive as opposed to a 6 hours drive. There is also a Dr in Montreal that performs lapband surgery that may also be a possibility.

Mandi, I also saw a post about someone who will be trained in Pictou NS to do fills. Is this the one you were telling us about?

Hey wheezy... I saw that, and that's awesome news! Probably best to get Dr. C to do your first one anyways. Hopefully it'll last you a long time, and that new Dr. will get lots of other people to practice on before you

How far are you away from Montreal?

Yup, that's the same person in NS that I heard of.

Mandi, I agree about experience, let him practice on others first. His receptionist told me his first two patients were scheduled in October.

It's only a 1 hour drive east to Montreal for me. You know what that means? Montreal is only a 12 hours drive and Ottawa is a 13 hour drive for you if you ever get fed up of waiting for someone to do a fill or a unfill in the Maritimes. You could make a long weekend of it. Montreal and Ottawa both have great sites to visit. Have you ever been to Old Montreal? It's really pretty. Great shopping too!

Have you seen that commercial for Quarker's weight loss oatmeal.

The women are walking around with scale chained to their leg. That's me, I just run the chain up my pant leg and tape the scale to my big butt! Then I have it when ever I need it. It's like my security blanket.:funscale:

Way to go Maria and Lila. I'm 5 lbs down so far this month, but none this past week. I tend to lose only every second week so with luck I may still reach my 8 lbs by this weekend.

[Wheezy 0]

5 lbs Devana, WTG, I on the other hand am up 1 lb so far......Next month will be a lot better.

[Yoda 0]

Yeah, that is what I say too Wheezy....!! Next month will be better for me.

(it better be!)

Speaking of next month, I'm (planning on) doing the October challenge on the June bandsters thread, if I can only remember it. It's 1200 cals, 64 0z of Water and 30 minutes of exercise each day. I haven't been calorie counting, and I've been doing bugger all for exercise. I'm on my feet all day but that doesn't count. I know that all I have to do is take a 45 min walk each day to accelerate the weight loss. I'm just feeling light enough to get back to it though. However, every morning I make some lame excuse and plan on the next day. All I need is that first day.
