Hi purplegirl, from looking at your current weight loss, I think you are right on track to accomplish your goal of onederland by year end. Keep up the great work! :)

Hey Karen...surprisingly the best thing for losing Water weight for me has actually been to drink more water! I don't know how much Water you drink per day but if you are not drinking enough water your body will hold on to whatever it has until you start drinking more. When your body learns that it will get fresh water frequently it will start to use up or release the old water it has been storing.

With all the exercise you are doing your water intake is very important. But, as you know...your cycle will have A LOT to do with how much water you are carrying around too.

I can easily carry 7 lbs just in water weight depending on the time of month or because I've skimped on water for a few days. If I religiously drink my water by getting around 64 oz./day then it comes out for me and I will lose 5-10 pounds from water alone. (You can poison yourself with water though so just stick to a sensible amount like aiming for 64 oz. or so.) I think you'll see a difference in a few days!

THanks for the advice! Now that I think about it I have been skimping on water - I find it hard to drink quickly particularly during the spinning class -- so I am am going to really push the liquids and see if that helps things out a bit. I would love to be under 200 or close by new years (13lbs to go) but I realize that that would be quite a push.

Wow, Tann, over 200 lbs. lost! Amazing. Congrats! You are an inspiration.

And congrats to linndata, too. ONE-derland is ONE-derful! Good luck to everyone getting close. I'm doing the up-and-down dance right now with all the goodies coming into the house but I'm staying firmly in onederland, so I'm pleased.

We CAN DO THIS!

wow!! I haven't seen those numbers on my scale for about 6 yrs now.

My highest weight was 232, but in the last six years I have lost over 100 lbs, but never got below 200.(lose 20/ gain 30/ lose 25/gain 25 etc.....)

It's overwhelming to actually see that number, just because I could have done this so many times before but gave up on myself. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I don't have to give up because now I have help. I personally will not be weighing in for the next month just so I can be darn sure that next time I do I will still be under 200.

Good luck to you all.

I'm getting there and I'm determined to do it by next weekend. As of this morning, I was 204. I have already purchased my "under 200" reward and I can't wait to use it. (I got a COACH purse as my reward). Wish me luck!!!:rockon:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
