Friday Weigh-in

[Ewiedbingcott 9]

Dear All:

Another pound down - that doen't count all the up & down I've been doing since 2/2/09. So I'm only 1 pound down for the month!

My doctor is on vacation so I can't get a fill until March 12. I've been writing my food down and counting calories. I have to say it's easier with the band:redface:.

I'm going to really stick to this (counting calories 1100-1200/day) and exercising 30# per day (sorry guys, can't do more than that!) and see where that brings me on March 12.

Keep up all the good work everyone.:wink:

Hey March 12th will be here before you know it! I can't wait for my fill on Friday. We really can't afford it, but I can't afford to lose momentem.

Let us know how it goes.

I am at 199.8 lol. ONEderland! Feels wonderful. However, I am really trying not to lose anything for the health of my little one. I do believe it is important for me to continue to exercise as I hear it helps with labor and with the back pain. How is everyone else doing?

Put me down for 2.8 lost. YAY! I had my third fill yesterday. I hope that helps out. Things have gotten a little harder so I hope this helps.

I'm a little late. Had out of town guests and a dinner party over the weekend. I've been holding steady - no weight lost - looking forward to March 12 when I go for my fill.

Whew! After pigging out last Saturday I gained 2.5 then lost it and lost another 2.9 so I am down 2.9 since my last post. I'm glad this week is over!!!

Went for my 3rd fill yesterday & got 1 cc. My sister went with me and she got her first fill (2 ccs). Anyway, our doctor (Dr. David Davtayn - he's great) gave us both a little lecture on our eating -- mainly reviewing what we know, but so encouraging too. He chided me for not coming earlier for a fill - saying that when I stop losing, I should come in immediately!:thumbup:

I haven't lost any weight yet, but my sister and I had measured before we were banded. In all (neck, arm, chest, waist, thigh & calf) I've lost 14" since October 24. That's amazing - over a foot!!!!!!:thumbup: My sister, banded in December, lost 13":thumbup:

I was thrilled! Also, my daughter-in-law told me last night to throw away the pants I was wearing (or she suggested I could sleep in them:tongue2:). She observed that they were so baggy on me that maybe I could keep them for my before/after pictures!

So I continue on my journey. I hope to post lower numbers next week - although I have my daugher, her husband & 2 grandchildren staying with us this week. And next week my husband's cousin & wife are coming and we're going to Vegas for a few days. But it encourages me that I can live my life with the band -- in prior times I probably would have gained a few pounds. Now I know that I will lose a couple.:blushing:

Good luck to you all - Keep up the good work!

Make sure you get calories in you system in the morning to jump start your metabolism. Keep exercising and maybe kick start into a low carb cycle to help kick cravings and concentrate on solid Protein. Nothing soft. Those are my suggestions. A plateau for a month would be really tough. I can't imagine even though I know my time will come.

I am very nervous to weigh in Saturday morning since I have been out of town this week until late tomorrow night. I'm afraid of what the scale will say. So far I have only strayed once and that was eating a few chips and salsa last night before supper, but I ordered fillet migion so I was pretty good. I can't wait to get home and get back to my routine. I am not OCD....maybe just a little anal retentive. I need my routine. I've been doing good since October. This is the trip every year that usually derails my weight loss attempt. This one and one in April. When I left on Tuesday morning I was only 6.5# away from ONEderland.

I'm so nervous......:tt2:

Good luck to everyone

I was out of town until last night. I am happy to report that even with eating out I am down 2.4 from last Friday. That gives me a weight of 204.6!!!

I hope to hit ONEderland by April 1st!
