No change here either. Which I consider a scale Victory! I'm completely unfilled after my emergency at Easter so I'm HUNGRY!!!!

I see my doc on Wednesday so I'm hoping he starts filling me again and that it helps with the hunger! I have NO idea how much he might put in.

My fill kicked in this week and I have been stressed at work. Normally I would eat, but not now. I had a loss of 2.4 Pounds this week.

Have a greet weekend!

I am down 2 lbs this week, 189! Yeah!

Michelle: glad to hear you didn't gain any weight! That is great.

I am 2 lbs (almost 3 but I don't record the decimal) down this week. I am doing the Happy Dance.

That is the best week that I have had since September. I think recording my food on MyDailyPlate is really helpful. I am also working out more and harder. I did a frontal workout yesterday with a Jillian Michael's DVD and I am sore from the waist up today but I think that is great.

I also had an NSV that is significant to me. My 16 year old daughter is slightly overweight and has Pervasive Developmental Delays. She has lost 10 lbs (down to 170 from 180) since I got my lapband. She is not really dieting but we are all trying to be wiser about our food and exercise choices and it is paying off for her. :thumbup:

No change for me either. I've been see-sawing lately between a couple of pounds, so I decided to start tracking my food on The Daily Plate. Looking back over it this week, it seems to indicate that I need to take in MORE calories, especially when my calorie count is adjusted for my exercise. When I set my "daily calorie goal" there, using my weight, height, activity level (aside from workouts), and goal to lose 2 pounds a week, it said I should take in about 1652 calories a day. WOW! Well, I ate under 1200 calories every day but one, and expend between 400-500 calories with my workout each day. My goal next week is to try to add about 200-300 calories a day in a sensible manner. I think I'll start doing a Protein shake after my workout. Then, come Friday, I'll see what my results are, and can adjust for the following week.

Darn it, I'm ready to break out of this plateau!!

Happy dance for me this week! I am down under a 100 pounds total lost! Having surgery was the best thing I ever did. Of course having a doctor who "hits" my sweet spot each fill. I have only had 2 in 8 months. I love him as much as I love the band!! Keep up the good work everyone!

I am down this 3.2 in two weeks. I didn't get a chance to log in last week. There was a few months there that I hardly lost anything. Very happy the scale is moving in the right direction. I am at a sweet spot, at last, 7.4 in a 10cc band.

Have a great week!

Sounds like everyone is doing well for the most part!

Thanks, Kristen. I consider it a victory!

Tutornmom, WTG! Good news with your DD too!

Misty, hang in there. It sounds like you have a good plan for yourself. I like the daily plate but I'm homemaking so much of my food that it's hard to track what I'm eating. I don't have time to input my recipes and figure out portion sizes, so I gave up on it.

Congratulations, di!!!

WTG, w2l!!

You are so right!

Ya know, Diane, even a bad week now is still way better than a sort of bad week was before surgery!

A gain for me now is anywhere from a 10th or so to a lb or so. Before surgery, a gain, would've been many lbs! Then WEEKS of trying to get rid of it again!! So I look at the bad, post-surgery, as all good anyway!

Even when I can't get the scale to move. It's all good!! Now, I have HOPE that the scale will move again in the right direction. Before, I'd lose hope and give up or give in. I don't have that vicious cycle anymore! I'm lovin' it!!

I hope that all makes sense! LOL!
