Yay, finally a loss!

Last week 224.8

This week 222.2

A loss of 2.6 pounds, but since I put on .2 last week, it's actually 2.4 towards my goal of a loss of 10.6. 8.2 to go!

I'm not sure what the difference was this week, but I'll bet it was the yard work I did, in addition to my Curves workouts. I was also able to cut my evening nibbling waaaay back. I can do this!!

Hello,

I love seeing your victories because it reminds me that I can do this.

Last week 206

This week 202

Loss 4

Goal 195 (7 to go)

This is a big loss because I got a fill on 9/3/09 and thought I would have to have some taken out because even liquids were going down very slowly. I am better with pure liquids but still very restricted. We decided to leave it and see how it goes and so far I am satisfied.

Keep it up! We can do this

Hi All!

I just joined today. My goal is to loose a total of 50 lbs since I started by Halloween - so that's about 9.5 lbs to go.

Looking forward to following all of your progress and supporting each other.

Welcome to the challenge! I've added you to the spreadsheet.

I haven't weighed yet this week. I ended up going out of town yesterday and had too much high fat/high sodium food. Gonna try a liquid detox tomorrow, then I'll hop on the scale.

Welcome! I would love to hear more about the indigestion issues. Since my last fill, I am having serious issues with GERD. We are trying a different medicine but if something doesn't change soon I am going to need to call my lapband doc. The acid is so bad that it is effecting my voice.

On the good note, I am down 2 lbs to 200 lbs. :( I actually saw onederland this week but of course not on the official weigh-in day. Looking forward to next week when surely onederland will be a permanent fixture in my life.

Keep working and let us know how you are doing!

tutornmom, be careful with that. It could mean that you're too tight. Don't let it go to long.

As for me, I've been out of town the last couple of Fridays (just got home tonight) and haven't weighed in yet. I'll post next Friday. We'll see what happens as I've had a fever & chills flu bug that closed me up tight. I haven't eaten since Wed night's dinner (woke up w/it thurs). :blushing:

scale will probably look really good in the AM once I jump on but by Friday, since I'm feeling better, probably won't look so good! LOL! We'll see!

Have a fantastic week y'all!

Good Friday Morning everyone!

Okay, here are my stats over the last couple of weeks. Being out of town and getting sick messed me up!

9/4 - 175.2

9/11 - 176.7

9/18 - no WI, out of town and sick w/flu but probably would've been up since I ATE really well and loved every minute of it til I got sick! LOL!

9/25 - 174.9

Goal is 170lbs.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Way to go Heartfire! Keep it up!

Hi everyone! I never got back with my results last week, but they were pretty bad. In fact, from the time I went out of town last week up til about Wednesday, I was a chow-hound. I think a lot of it was hormonal and I just didn't feel like fighting it. I also did not step foot into Curves all week - I feel like a slug. At one point I was actually up 4 pounds from my last weigh-in on the 11th, but I got on the scale today and had lost 3 of the 4. So, that puts me at 1 pound up from my last report on 9/11, which I'll take! (especially since it is TOM)

In a nutshell:

Last weigh-in 9/11 220.2

Today 221.2

Gain of 1 pound

Next week will be MUCH better!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
