November Nymphs Cinco de Mayo Weight Loss Challenge

[Sades 4]

Well I am pleased to announce I have gone a whole week (incl the weekend) and have not put on any weight!! :tongue: I had another fill yesterday which has brought me up to 8cc. I am noticing a difference already. Even though I can still eat, I am eating smaller amounts. I'm hoping this means a good loss by the end of this challenge. The nurse at my doctor's surgery suggested I don't weigh myself until my next visit because it seems that as soon as I start losing again I sabotage myself. This way I won't see it going down and do my usual thing thing of filling my gob. She has 9cc and can still eat a reasonable amount, so for those who are worried that they don't have restriction yet it is coming. She had more in but couldn't eat much so asked for some out. Anyway, I think I'm getting close... yay!!

Down 2! Yeah! Don;t think I'll make the challenge goal. I have one more week and then I leave for vacation. Hope to get one more pound off before I leave, but more importantly, I hope to NOT gain while away! I'm better when I have a scale around that I can hop on to be sure I'm not going up. At least I have a fill appt the Monday I get back. Like Sades, I'm still waiting for that sweet spot and I already have 8cc's in my band.

You guys are doing really great!

Down 1.5, I had a fill on Monday which brings me to 5cc in my 10cc band. I feel a lot of restriction so hopefully this plateau is over.

I will take the 2 pounds. AND NEVER GIVE THEM BACK!!!!!!! :evil laugh:

Seriously,

I am super happy to be at the half way mark on this challenge. I have 18 days left and 10 pounds to go. I am going to squeek by on this one i just know it! Gotta get to 308!

Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale this morning at the BC and I was in the 3-teens!!! I have not been here since about 1998. WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

[TxArcher 2]

WOW. I just noticed on my ticker that I have lost over 10 BMI points! No wonder my blood pressure is coming down!

Check out my weight chart. You can see that in 2001, I tried the Body for life program. In 2003 I tried the Atkins craze... just like probably 90% of the people on this board. Anyway, I am glad to see the plunge past where I had ever gotten with "other" methods of weight loss.

Congratulations on the lower blood pressure.:thumbup::thumbup: Feels great doesn't it. Mine too has been lowered. I go see my PCP tomorrow and am hoping that he will be taking me off some meds now that I have lost almost 60lbs.

Ok... here is the chart. It did not work the first time.

Dude-

You are catching up to me quick! You are speeding up and I am slowing down. I expected it though. I am not complaining with 92lbs.

When you moving?

I have a fill Wednesday morning and We are getting on the road as soon as the movers get the place loaded in the trucks. They are packing tuesday.

Ought to be loads of fun traveling across the country the day I have a fill, but It is my only option. I had an appt. for Tuesday, but my brother is being deployed to Iraq very soon and Tuesday is the last chance I will get to see him before I move.:thumbup: At least he is a "desk-jocky" now. Last time he was flying all over Iraq and all kind of bad places. Now he is more of a babysitter to the young fellas.

Hoping to pass you pretty soon! (insert William Tell Overture music here)

C-YA gotta get back to building fences now!

TxArcher:

Way to go! Look at that ticker (and BMI) going down, down, down! I know what you mean about being a weight you haven't seen in a very long time. That's where I am. I have not been in the 170's since, well I guess it's been so long I can't even remember, but it's been over twenty years! Congratulations and Happy moving.

Shortgal-

Just noticed your ticker. You are halfway there. Congratulations! You are doing super. Halfway...doesn't it feel great!

Happy Vacation and enjoy yourself.

Thanks Cindy, The second half will be the hardest, but who cares.

Looking forward to our trip, we leave Friday aft but have a long day of traveling (airports, airplanes (2 flights), jet lag and 1.5 hour car ride to the destination and then can't check in until 4pm. Yikes! Maybe we'll pull over and nap in the car someplace!

And poor DH, he just got back from one week of business travel to 2 different places. I'm sure the last thing he wants to see soon, is another airport. But he's always a good sport about it and we're going with two great friends, so he has a buddy.

Remember when our tickers were at the beginning? Look at us now! Smoking!

I know... I remember looking at tickers here on LBT and thinking "man, I can't wait till my ticker passes the 1/2 way mark". I thought it would take me forever to get to the point I am at now. It just "happened". I can't believe it is working so well sometimes. This band is pretty nifty!

I also recall having fears that the band would not work for me like it did everybody else. HA! I guess I was wrong!

Yeah, I worried it wouldn't work, too. Now I just worry that I will be able to work WITH it for the long haul.

Like previous diets, one thing to take it off, a whole other thing to keep it off. I know the band will help, but I know it will take effort and diligence on my part.
