Jonathan 5 Posted July 6, 2005 Kelly's waiting for tomorrow, I say go for it...drink that Water today!!! Okay, so that's 205.4 this morning, wahoo! Jonathan is rounding numbers so I guess I'll round down since my start weight was 207.2? I figure that counts fairly as a 2 pound loss. yippeee!!! AND i get filled Wed! Happy Fourth of July!!! I don't round, exactly... it's a throw back to my programming days =) When you cast a floating point number (something with a decimal) as an integer, it simply loses whatever was after the decimal point. So, when I count my weight, that's what I do. 286.8 is 286 lbs. Since I do it that way, I didn't write my weight loss challenge program to use decimals (using floating point variables) ... just integers. =) If you didn't understand that, for the purposes of the WLC, just ignore everything after the decimal point on your scale.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan 5 Posted July 6, 2005 Ok, I think I've got everyone up to date now. I don't have starting weights for everyone though. If that's intentional, that's fine. When you update your weight, if you're 2 lbs less than you were at the start, then just make your weight -2, etc. However, take a look at the weights listed, and I think you'll find that YOUR weight isn't anything that's going to surprise any of us. I invite and encourage everyone to post their weights just because it'll make it easier to track your progress as you go (you'll never have to remember what your starting weight was), and because if there's ANYWHERE in the world that you won't get judged for what you weigh, it's right here. But, if you're only comfortable with tracking your loss, that's perfectly fine by me. =) Jonathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the best me 6 Posted July 6, 2005 If you didn't understand that, for the purposes of the WLC, just ignore everything after the decimal point on your scale.< /div> Now THAT I understand! lol!

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bondgirl 0 Posted July 6, 2005 I need to update my weight. I went to the Doctor to get my staples out and apparently my scale is off by 5 pounds. I did just have the surgery a week ago tomorrow. His scale told me I have lost 13.8 pounds! I will let you know how it is on Monday! Thanks! Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites banded&tattooed 3 Posted July 7, 2005 I would like to join if it's not too late. I know that I weighed 375 on Monday June 27 because I went to get another fill because my 2nd fill didn't really do the trick. Only problem was my blood pressure was too high so I couldn't get the fill until today. So my starting weight as of June 27 is 375, but as of today the scale at the Surgical Center said 356 so that is my current weight Yep 19 pounds in a week and a half! And 70 pounds so far(ignore my ticker. I haven't had time to update it!) After floating around the 376 area for about a month and a half I started back on a eating program that I did before being banded called Natural Hormonal Enhancement(www.extique.com) It's a really great program! If anyone wants to know about it just ask me. Here are some pics I took tonight.
