Welcome back Kimmie! We still have plenty of time to make our goals, so don't worry. I'm so jealous, I want to go on a cruise sooo bad, I've never been on one before. Glad you're back!

Congrats chocolate snaps!!! That's great!! I updated your stats. Is Wednesday the only day that you weight? Just wondering, it's like an obsession with me, I have to weigh everyday, I just can't help it.

Geogia girl, yep I only weigh on Wednesdays. And sometimes I sneak a little one in on the weekend, but I dont record it.

I tend to be obsessive, I am a true perfectionist. My nature is such that I want to be at goal right now and anything but that is unacceptable, but also unrealistic. It became really unhealthy for me.

So in order to save myself from a future eating disorder (I know myself) I took the advise of many LBTers to weigh weekly. It took a little time but I am happier now than I was then, I can actually see NSVs now when before it was the scale or absolute failure. Its also the reason that I dont have a "highest to goal" ticker.

With that and my love of Japanese style colloquialisms, Super Fantastic Weigh In Wednesday was born.:thumbup:

Thanks, I was just curious. I really do need to weigh myself less than I do now. I may start by just cutting it down to 3 times a week, then progressing slowly to once. Wow, I sound like an addict, lol!

YAY!!!! I made my goal this morning, I weighed in at 180. I'm going all the way to the the 17th and maybe 5 more pounds will come off. This has been the most weight loss since I was banded. Good luck to everyone, we still have 12 more days.

Finally my scales moved. I am 206 this morning. Down 2 pounds. I also seem to have a stomach bug. Nausea and bad diarrhea. That may have something to do with the weight loss. I am ready to lose the stomach bug, but I'll take the weight loss. It seemed my scales were never moving again.

darr5380 · March 10, 2008

I am down to 179 thanks to a stomach bug I got this morning. Yuck!!!!! I am glad to hear your scale moved, renewed.

georgia girl · March 10, 2008

Congrats on your weight loss Renewed and Darr!!!! Sorry you guys are sick and hope you both feel better soon!!

Guys, I didn't have a very good week last week . I've actually gained a couple of pounds, so I'm going to do a "detox" for a few days. I'm only going to have low carb Protein Shakes and Water (maybe some chai tea or Decaf coffee too). I'm hoping it will help with my cravings like it did last time I did this. Sorry to be a downer, but I'm still not giving up!! We still have time to make our goals.

Keep up the great work everyone!! Let's make these goals!!

Girl you can do it! I've had a crazy week...I'm down to about 267 this morning. I'm not sure how I did that...except that I've not been eating as much as normal! I've not been eating past 7pm as well. Though, last night I had two glasses of wine!!

Everyone is doing awesome...I'm still holding on to the last few days and am going to push hard as hell to make my goal by Monday!
