Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well and continuing to lose! I had another decent week with 2 lbs lost this week. I am now down to 394 lbs. It feels great and I continue to push forward. I probably won't hit my 15 lbs goal for this month but that's ok. I am still losing weight and that's what matters. That and getting healthier =)

No weight loss for me for the past two weeks. *sigh* My appetite is back with a vengeance. I did finally get my first fill (3 ccs) last week. Not much difference yet. I have another one scheduled for March 12th. Hopefully after another fill or two, I'll have much more control. I'm gunning for at least one pound to report next week!

I've had an intresting week, I had a fill last week and my eating is down to about 1,200 calories a day with plenty of protien to support my weight regiment.

My workouts consist of a 5k run walk (2 miles stright of running). 3 times a week and heavy weight training 3 days a week the 7th day is 30-45 minutes of light cardio.

Problem is I've gained 1 pound:scared2:. The measurements are all heading the right way but I'm considering bumping the calories up to see what happens. I know this is probably muscle gain and many studies say that you gain muscle faster than loose fat but the gain has me a little feaked out.

RANT OVER thanks for reading.

Hi All, Maybe it isn't just us-let's blame the weather. :thumbup: i, too, gained 3# :mad2:this week when i went for my 2nd fill. But have lost that and 1 # more. i may not make 250 by next Sunday but i am still losing.:tt2:

I am slow going, but the direction is down, so that is the point. One more pound and I will be down 40!!!! I was really bummed when I hit my first plateau, but ironically since I have increased my calories and started loosing again- only loosing less- I am happier. People keep asking me how much- when some days or weeks it is none.

I loved it coming of fast in the beginning, but now I am ok with it slow. My body actually hurts from the changes, and I don't have a lot of clothes I didn't wear out on my way up, so there is not a lot on the way down either. It took years to get as big as I am, and if I only loose 5-10 lbs a month, I will be more than happy with that.

I keep jolting my body. This week I ate more calories than I ususally do (wine calories mostly) but now I am ready to go back to my base diet that I like to eat. It throws my system off an makes weight loss easier. Has anyone else done that? The only draw back is you are really hungry the first couple days of the lower calorie week. For example, I ate about 12,000 calories last week, and this week I will have 8000 - 9000 calories.

Everyone seems to be doing great!! Keep up the good work and remember- if you get it a rut, do something different.

Hey ya'll....everyone is doing so good, I was a little disappointed that I had on lost 4 lbs in the 3 weeks between my dr appts but he was happy so I guess my expectations can sometimes be a little high.

I am down 3 lbs this week, had my 3rd fill and have been on mostly liquids since Wed. I did eat an egg for lunch. We'll see how it goes next week after I start eating real food again.

Hey Hey,

Looks like we are all hanging in there. Yay for us!!

I am down 3.4lbs this week bringing me to 254lbs!

Well, I have only lost a couple of pounds this month so far but I guess we will have these kinds of days. I was hoping for much more, but at least no gain. Please post my sad little results on the spreadsheet. However, I did buy some new jeans and they were 2 sizes smaller, and for the first time in years I bought a shirt that was an XL in the regular women's clothes!!!! Yaaaay, that was such a great feeling, so I guess 28#'s is pretty sweet for now! Thanks for all the encouragement from the december bandsters its great to have people in the same boat!!:smile:
