Hi all, was banded on April 7th, was wondering what people were seeing as an average per week weight loss now that we have all been at this for a while. Thanks,

James

James - I could go back and calculate, but I haven't lost every week. I had two months where I'd lose .5 and gain 1.2 then lose 2 and gain .7....It was the same five pounds forever. I lost a lot off the bat and after that it was pretty slow.

I have lost inches continulously. I measure myself on the 10th of every month (my monthly bandiversary).

Last week I lost 4 pounds and this week 6 (finally broke that see-saw plateau). I'm down 45 pounds since consult.

Congrats on all the awesome weightloss everyone!!! I too am just 8 pounds from onederland!! I'm also between sizes and it's so frustrating. The pants I wore yesterday made me look like I was wearing a saggy diaper, but the 14's are still too tight. Of course then I have my favorite pair of jeans that are 16's and I still can't get into them. Go figure!!

James - yes, it's going to differ from person to person. I didn't loose much weight over the summer, mostly because I wasn't working at it at all. :crying: However, I have continued to loose inches and that's really the only thing I care about. Of course if I do a quick math assessment, it's been like 20 weeks since surgery, I'm still averaging roughly 2 pounds per week. But realistically, it hasn't been that way at all. I've even had weeks where I gained.

Keep up the great work guys! We are all doing awesome!!! Have a great day!

Ok Brandy & All the other April Avengers,

We have to step up our game. I want to be in Onederland by the end of the month. Brandy, I'm point you out because we started at the same weight and now we weigh the same. :crying:

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Just think Bea - six months ago you couldn't have squeezed your pinky toe into a 14. You're doing great girl!

[Turler 6]

Leslie,

OMG!!!! 6 pounds in one week?!?!?!?! WOW! How in the world are you doing that???? I WAS excited about my measly little 3 pounder, but sheesh. You are a machine.

Thanks! I was shocked when I weighed in. Leslie - the fill nurse - told me to step on and close my eyes (I always tend to make the scale move when I'm supposed to stand still- it usually goes up). I heard the beep on the machine and she asked what I weighed last week - I said 220. She made a little noise - I opened my eyes and asked "What is it?" She said you've lost six pounds. I did a happy dance (idiotically jumping up and down) in the office. I think I may have hugged her too...LOL

I'm a broken machine Carol....LOL....I've been a teeter-totter for six weeks. You've been doing great - consistantly.

Congrats Leslie...You Go Girl!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Thanks NeNe - you are so close to onderland....I'm knocking on your door too! :-)....I can't believe I'm 12 pounds away from weighing less than 200 pounds.

I just hung up the phone from my mom. She said, "You are going to be smaller than me soon." I said, "Mom, isn't that a good thing." She told me that I don't need to get too small - I won't look healthy. She is a 12/14 (and weights 180). I told her I'd be happy to be a 10/12. She said that a 10 is too small. I'm not sure how to take this. I didn't say I want to be a size 2. Is she being supportive or jealous? Why am I such a pessamist?

[Bea1128 1]

NeNe - I'm with you, lets step it up! I think I'm at the same weight as you guys as well. I'm ready to be in onederland too!!

Thanks Leslie! You are right, 6 mos ago I couldn't have done half the stuff I'm doing today! Congrats on 6 pounds! I think sometimes our bodies just go along in the same mode and then one day it's like "Whoa, you're serious, guess I better let go of this weight!!". Keep it up! I'm really proud of you!!!

[NeNe967 1]

Leslie, I know what you mean. It has been a long time since I was 100 something pounds.

[NeNe967 1]

Leslie,

At your age, a 10 would be fine. At my age, I'm going to be happy with a 12.

Bea,

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Let's Get Busy!!!!
