Accountability

Lil - thank you so much, that's exactly the one I was thinking of

Ready - Way to go!!!! Look at you, kickin' the ole extra weight's butt. I'm so happy for you.

I lost those 40 lbs pretty quickly then went on a loooooong standstill, hopefully the other 100 lbs melt away now....please please please

Official Weigh Day!

3lbs down from official Weigh day last week.

RSG - I am just SO pleased for you! Your plateau is broken, it wasn't a quirk of the scales, you are doing so good!

Nope, not a tinge of jealousy - you have worked so hard for this.

So away on business and just catching up on things. I did not get my exercise in, so yesterday I did 40 minutes on my treadmill - variable speeds 2 - 4.5, and variable inclines 0 - 7...holy crap, it just about killed me!

So last week I managed to do my usual exercise 3 days, and 3 additional events. Gotta do some more today....

[Ezma 2]

Well, I haven't necessary been the model of healthy eating but I've been so much better than I was during those 3 weeks of struggle. I've taken off all that I put on and am back to my low point. Yay, the ticker is accurate again and I can once again say it's 105 pounds gone.

[ReadySteadyGo 8]

Good Ezma. You are so calm for everything that has been going on. I hope everything continues that way. Just keep swimming

Tapshoes, how is the exercise going. I've been pretty lazy this week, but I am getting on it as soon as I get off work.

[tapshoes 2]

For the first time since I was banded, I ...GAINED weight. AFter all my hard work, I gained. I know I missed some exercise but only 2 days, and I really did try to stick with the band plan even when I was on a business trip. And I gained.

I am just so discouraged.

[Ezma 2]

Tap - It could easily be Water gain. You were eating out more and they love to hide the sodium in food. Bet it comes right off for you. Don't get too discouraged. You've been doing great and just had a short change in your normal routine.

[ReadySteadyGo 8]

Yeah shoes, Water gain AND muscle mass.

Don't fret it. Keep drinking that water and it will all pee out and you will see the scale go down, I bet ya.

[tapshoes 2]

RSG and Ezma - I certainly hope it IS Water. If those pounds don't disappear by next Monday, I will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO angry/frustrated!

Endured 40 min on the treadmill last night, and 30 minutes of swimming this morning. Have really got to work on the exercise regime this week.

[Ezma 2]

Feeling your pain Tap. I did the two pound bounce this morning and I'm praying it's Water. I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to get back on the right track. I know I'm still eating some wrong things though I am doing right about 80% of the time. Lots of lean Proteins and fresh veggies with very little bread, Pasta or rice. Does anyone gain weight when they catch a cold? I've got one coming on and wondered about that.

[ReadySteadyGo 8]

Your head is full of snot Ezma :thumbup: of course you gained weight. Blow your nose and try again.

You crack me up, RSG!!:laugh:

Thanks for the chuckle!

[Ezma 2]

Your head is full of snot Ezma :biggrin: of course you gained weight. Blow your nose and try again.

LMAO - that's what I was thinking. That stuff had to weigh at least 2 pounds.

[Shinyhappymommy 2]

Checking in. I'm back down to 214, my lowest weight so far, again. I'm really looking forward to this fill on Friday. I hope it makes a big difference.
