I do not know how I did it, but I stayed the same. Too much extra New Years food and a little more exercise must have equaled out.

I don't know how I did it but I managed to drop 1.2 pounds this week. I'll take it no matter what, but now I'm headed to Las Vegas for 4 days on Sunday, so hope to at least stay the same next Friday.

Well, not too bad - after a month of eating in Paris and holiday banqueting, I'm down 8 lbs . Since I lost most weight at the beginning of my trip - eating only ice cream and McDonald's, but walking, walking, walking - I know what I gotta do...

Also! Since it's a new year, I'm going to do something I've not done before:

:biggrin:

I hope you all enjoyed it!

Ups and downs for all of us.

But just think in the past we probably gained the average 10-15# they state for holiday gains. So we can be happy and pleased we either lost, stayed the same or gained a few.

Well I'm down one from last week but still up one from the start. I was up 5 pounds at the beginning of the week so I'm glad I at least lost that.

I'm mad at myself.....but I'll get over it.

I've decided to go on liquids for five days starting Monday....just back to basics and start all over again.

Going to make a doctor's appointment and get in to the food guru and the exercise chickie again. I've got three months of "freebies" left with the doc and I think I better make the best of it!

OH...and I'm NOT changing my ticker, dammit!

I'll be there again most quickly!

No change for me this week. I'll take it!

Here is a NSV though...bizzarre as it is....

My eldest son is 8, he likes to play bad guys and good guys. He has metal handcuffs that have never been able to close over my wrists. Yesterday we were playing and he said "let's just see if these fit you now that you're a skinny bad guy instead of a big bad guy" and they not only fit, but they fit with wiggle room! So we played on!

Happy New Year everyone!

This holiday season was fun and went fast. I had some long weekends and time to play with my son and see family. This year Christmas was wonderful. Everyone got something they liked! We all got along! Life was good. Funny thing, no one said one word about me loosing weight. I guess me looking at the scale and knowing that I am wearing smaller clothes and am much healthier is going to have to be my reward for a while! I keep an eye out for the NSVs.

Despite the fact that the below grid shows I have gained 2 pounds since the beginning of December, I am happy. At one time I was up 7 pounds. (OK, I had very little resistance to the Cookies, until I saw the scale! Then, I had no more cookies!)

My goal for my bandiversay is 65-75 total pounds lost. That is about 20-30 pounds. I think it is a realistic goal. Does anyone else have a one year goal?

My band is about as tight as it is going to get, so I need to just make good choices. The band is doing what it is supposed to do, it is up to me to get the rest of it right. The band is a little fickle. I actually had a slice of pizza the other day. Most days I couldn't have eaten that! I am actually happy that most days I can't eat pizza. I love the stuff and it loves me as it stays on my backside for a while after I eat it. (Like years!) I know that Protein makes me feel full and is what I need to eat, I have to just do it. For the most part, I am. I am still on that journey of discovery to determine why the heck I ever ate so much. Why I let myself get to almost 300 pounds? There are many things I have worked on and seem to have a handle on. On occasion I still use food as a friend. I am working on that! I seem to have a good understanding of the head hunger. Since my stomach actually growls now, I can tell when I am really hungry. I plan to continue this journey through 2009.

I am actually thinking about trying a dating site. I haven't dated in a while. It has been more a "I don't like myself" sort of thing as opposed to not having available males around. I guess I should just get out there and give it a go.

Hi Ya'll!!!

I'm back too!! I've been into Cookies, mashed potatoes. ice-cream, dressing, yams ---- the whole nine yards. And of course I just kept walking right past that bathroom scale. I'm sure I have packed on a few lbs. I notice that my jeans are not as loose. BUT--I know that I have not gained what I would have without the band because even though I ate too many calories and starches --I also couldn't shovel it in the way I could in pre-band days. I started back to low-carbs yesterday. I have GOT to exercise. I'm really happy to have this place to come back to and I'm glad I have all of you to be honest with. We can do a lot to help each other.

I've also been looking at all these poor dogs who are homeless. I'm looking at a particular dog that needs to be rescued. She's 6 mo old. I'm thinking that we can help exercise each other!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
