I just really wanted to share

I posted this in some other place, but I really wanted to post it here, at the home of my victorious valentines....

A month ago yesterday I was 329.

Today I got on the scale and for the first time in three years it said something beside 3 _ _.

My scale read 297.6- I hadn't weighed myself in a while bc its a good way to depress me and if I get depressed I eat, so almost two weeks ago when I looked at the scale it had gone up from 306 to 308.

So I excercised some, but mostly I have been concentrating on stopping when I am full. Thats really hard for me.

I go for my first fill April 17th...but if this continues I think I might just say "no thanks"

That is so awesome sugar!! What an accomplisment!! you will never see those 300's again!!

Oh, it's funny, when I saw my doctor after two weeks I still felt restricted and told him I still felt great and probably wouldn't need that first fill and litterally the next day I entered bandster hell. LOL. It was so funny! So, I wouldn't cancel that appointment yet; with all your weightloss, that band might get loser and loser in the next two weeks.

Best of luck!

That is great! Congrats. I am in bandster hell now also - praying I get a fill and that it helps at my next appt.

You are doing great!

Congratulations...I, too, need to ignore the scale. I only allow myself to weigh in bi-weekly. It actually helps me not to get down. Wishing you continued success!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!! That is a major accomplishment and I'm so happy for you!

Thank you all for your support. I believe this is the most weight I have ever lost at one time. I have never been able to do it. I would go down 20, go up 40, go down 20, go up 50, go down 10, go up 100. I am so glad to be here and so happy with my progress.

I wish you all the luck, and i am so glad you guys are here with me.

Congratz Tara! You are doing terrific!

It's so good to hear your victory story . . . that's awesome weight loss for a month! Keep up the good work . . . and I agree, knowing when to stop eating is very hard . . . but you did it! You go girl!

Tara that is absolutely wonderful news, i'm very happy for you! :smile:

i know the bit of not knowing when to stop, that is so hard, i'm hoping with a fill it will be easy to know before it's too late when i'm full.

I keep a food journal on my kitchen table and have only missed 2 days of not fillling it out. i have not done that this long either, i'm afraid if i quit writing down what i eat then i'll start justifying too much.

Keep up the good work!

Way to go! I know what you mean about the scale being depressing. I went up 8 lbs between 3/10 and 3/19, finally lost the 8 lbs plus 2 more this week. I wish I could break myself of the habit of weighing everyday.

I agree with coolcrystal about keeping the fill appointment. I saw my dr on 3/10 and he said I had restriction from surgery (no fill, just a tight fit) and might not need one. I swear, within 2-3 days I was in bandster hell. I got my fill on 3/24 and it has been great. I'm not constantly hungry, just cannot eat past the full point, and feel in control again.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone. I will keep the appt. I appreciate the input
