gilta 0 Posted September 19, 2008 Last week - 195 This week - 193 2 lb loss! My birthday was this week so I think that slowed down my loss this week. I cannot complain about 2 lbs though! I am working out 3 times a week and one of them is a group training session. I still only have the 2cc's in the band they put in during surgery. I don't think I am ready for a fill yet. I am hoping that I never do, but I know it is there if I need it! Gilta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heartfire 4 Posted September 19, 2008 Don't have much time this AM. We're going woodcutting so I gotta hurry. I'll catch up with everyone later but here are my stats for the week. Last week: 204.7 This week: 202.0 Weekly Loss: 2.7lbs!! WooHoo! I did a mile on the treadmill a few times this week but not as much as I wanted to. It'll get better. I'm working up to it! Take care everyone! Talk to you later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwrd73 0 Posted September 19, 2008 Congratulations to everyone on your weight loss for this week!! I'm down 3 lbs this week. I was excited to see that this morning b/c on Monday I was only down 1 pound. I'm not extremely hungry, but I am eating something every three hours. I think the smaller meals more often are helping to keep my metabolism going. I also started going to a gym this past week. I've only gone twice just to work out on the eliptical machine. It's easier on my knees than the treadmill. Roheryn - Thanks for starting the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lanakila 1 Posted September 19, 2008 I'm up 1.2# this week. I'm back to eating all regular food now, and have no restriction, so I'm really only surprised that the gain was so little. I have concentrated on eating smaller portions than I ever had before, but I figure that I'm still recovering from "starvation mode", so my body is holding on to everything. I'm ok with this. Heck, I probably fluctuate more than that on a day-to-day basis! I get a new boss on the 1st and was supposed to get my first fill on the 6th. I called the coordinator and begged to be filled a week early because I didn't want to be out of the office right after the new guy started. They are taking me early, so I'll only have had to wait 5 weeks instead of 6. I'll sure be glad for ANY restriction. I know that alot of people are only restricted from the swelling at first and then are the same as before until their next fill. They tell me that my doc is "conservative" on the fills, so I'm probably going to have to get a few before things really start coming off, you know? :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jandamom 0 Posted September 19, 2008 I'm up 1 pound this week. I've been at a retreat all week...great food choices were available at every meal & snack time, but I refused to use the workout room...there was zero privacy & I just couldn't do it & I believe that really cost me. I'm back to the treadmill tonight & hope to recover the pound plus another 1 or 2 by next weigh in. I'm back to no restriction, but will schedule another fill when the phy office opens on Monday. Everyone is really doing a great job! Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted September 19, 2008 Oh my been posting my weight on the wrong thread. Well had my first fill and down 10 from my visit a month ago to the Phy. Asst. She is very happy with my progress. The fill was just 1 cc and I am on liquids and mushies for 2 days. I have been losing about 1-2 lbs. per week. I am happy with that. Getting more exercise helps also. I take it one day at a time and that is the best way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtork 0 Posted September 20, 2008 "Thanks and I've been losing weight, got a bit to go but I'm getting there!" and it was an open invitation she was very animated in her reply "You have lost a lot and are looking great!" It cracks me up though watching peoples reactions but weight being such a sensitive thing they don't want to say anything!But I know they notice and it gives me warm fuzzies That is so true. I found at school the kids are asking my daughter and the teachers are asking my husband. Weird, why won't they talk to me:crying: I am so excited to be losing and noticing it! I had one of my students from last year come by my room the other day and she said I looked great and I had to of lost a lot of weight over the summer. I was so jazzed, I wanted to jump over my desk and hug her!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShelbyD 0 Posted September 20, 2008 I am down 2 lbs this week. I went from 237 to 235. The weight is coming off very slow but fairly steady. Had my first fill this week and start eating regular foods again today. I'm not feeling any restriction from my first fill and have to wait a month for a second one. I exercised at Curves 3 times this week and played tennis with my husband twice. I'm going to try to bump up the exercise this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
