I am down 2.2 this week. I have started week 4 of the couch to 5K podcast. Running for 3 and 5 mintue intervals kicked my butt this morning. I also splurged on good running shoes yesterday - no excuses about running.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Great job, you two!

I can't believe we're coming up on our 1yr bandiversaries! Just seems SO amazing to me!

Okay -

Last week: 179.5

This week: 178.2

Total loss: - 1.3lbs

Yea me! This is also with needing a fill. Got that yesterday, late afternoon. Shooting for 170 by my bandiversary date of 08/25. Here's hoping for great restriction this month! LOL!

Have a great week everyone!

Ladies~ Great losses this week!

Well, you won't believe it, but I lost weight - finally! No more 193 - this morning I was down to 189! OMG! I hope this holds, if I never see 193 again I will be sooooo happy!!!

Hooray for everyone! I know, it really is hard to believe it's almost been a year. I am proud of all of us!

Last week: 223.8

This week: 223.4

Loss of 0.4 lbs

Well, at least it isn't a gain. And it is TOM too, so I'll take any loss at all. It really sucks to know that 2 weeks out of the month kind of cancel each other out weight loss-wise. Up one week, down the other. But as long as the whole trend is downward I'm going to keep on celebrating!

YAY, KRISTEN!!!!!! So completely happy for you! WhooHoo! Prayers it sticks!

Misty, a loss is a loss! I think you're doing great!

No loss this week. :tongue2: It actually may be connected to the NSV below.

NSV better than a loss for me. I am off blood pressure medication at least for 2 weeks. I have been terribly weak and light headed for about a month. I finally decided it must be my BP which had been running around 100/60. I called my doc and my last dose was Thursday. I felt better on Friday but I think maybe taking away the HCT (Water pill) part might be the culprit for no loss.

Keep it up! I think it is great that almost one year later we are still committed. Normally in a year, I would have lost and regained the same 15 lbs two or three times. This year I have lost almost 60 lbs that I am CERTAIN I will NEVER regain. Victory is ours!

Tutornmom~ That is a great NSV! I hear ya on losing and regaining the same 15lbs over and over. Isn't it nice to be on a road that will help us with permanent loss!

Michelle~ Thanks! I am also hoping that it sticks! Crossing my fingers and praying! It would be nice to lose a few more pounds.

tutornmom, I think that is a great NSV and I'm SURE that's why no loss. I'm on HTC for my BP as well and whenever I forget to take it, I gain 2lbs. Every. Single. Time.

I'm hoping to be able to stop mine soon but I'm just now finally keeping it in the normal range with the meds. It's one reason I really started thinking about surgery. With the HTC it was still a little too high. I was looking at more meds soon and just didn't want to go there. I also have major heart/BP history on BOTH sides of my family so I'm probably behind the 8-ball anyway but am doing all I can to at least be healthy as I can be.

I am absolutely thrilled for you!

I'm in a contemplative mood with my 1 year coming up. It's just amazing to me, this last year. I haven't lost a lot but I am happy to be where I am. Especially when I look at where I was! If I hadn't had surgery, I would've gained. Before surgery I had been playing with the same 4lbs for the better part of a year! I'd be on more BP meds, I could hardly walk with my bone spurs, my back hurt (still does sometimes but it's WAY better!), and on and on and on.

Today I turn 41 and without surgery, I would be MISERABLE! Now, I'm excited about how I'm feeling and looking. Just amazing to me. Absolutely amazing!
