SUNDAY WEIGH IN

I'm SO relieved to hear I'm not the only one struggling with the food demons! This week was a toughie-last night I had a huge ****tail and a piece of amaretto cheesecake with dinner. It was scary. If I stick to solids and veggies my pouch is tiny; but carbs slide right in with no trouble. Sugar doesn't make me sick at all unless I have it on an empty stomach, so I really have to be careful. I do fine at home, but have a hard time resisting when we go out. Anywaym congratulations to Vegas and Rhonda-that is SO awesome! This week I'm down 1 lb. Highest: 293 DOS: 287 Today: 192 Total lost: 101 lbs. Woo hoo!

Hey A teamers, I also didnt have that great of a week. I come to except this though. I'm getting very close to goal so I know it would have to slow down some time or another. Here are my stats: DOS: 4/17/07 244.5 Last Week: 139 Today: 137 Two pounds for the week and a total loss of 107.5 pounds. SO close, So Close!!! Jenn

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well. I missed last weeks weigh in since I was out of town in Georgia watching my nephew graduate from basic training.It was awesome and I was so proud of him. We'll have him home with us for a few months before he is deployed to Iraq in January. Pre-op - 397 DOS - 383 2 weeks ago - 269 Today - 263 -6lbs in 2 weeks Down a total of 134 lbs. Best of luck to everyone.

Hi Losers, No movement this week either. I'm stuck on stupid, err, 262 lbs. I mean. Haven't rode my bike in weeks, and seem to have developed a little bit of a sweet tooth myself (yikes!). I Need to get with the program. Heaviest: 387 lbs. DOS : 358 lbs. Last : 262 lbs. Today: 262 lbs. Have a great week everybody (and somebody give me a swift kick in the pants- I need it.) DD

Good Afternoon A-teamers!! Seems more and more of us are getting into the century club! But, alas a lot of us seem to be slowing way down. I only had a loss of one lb this week for a total of 103lbs lost. But I did the stupidest thing. I tested sweets to see if I would dump. I was hoping and hoping that I WOULD dump. But no I didn't. And for someone who always said that they didn't have a sweet tooth....I am craving sweets! UGHHHHHHH I am going to nip it in the bud NOW. Hope everyone has a great week. Joni HW: 300 PRE-OP: 290 DOS: 281 CW: 197

Highest 243+ DOS 220 Last week 149 Today 145.8 (3.2# This week! WOW! I had to get on the scale 3 times to be sure!) Total Lost 97.2! 15 to go till goal! 2.8# till century club! Exercised 3x this week, got in all my protein, thrilled my doc and my cardiologist and surgeon at my 6 month post op but they recommend increasing my exercise to 4x/week! I am having lots of trouble with food looking oh so good right now, but luckily most solid food still bugs my pouch. And, I think I have developed some lactose intolerance. That will be my downfall since I get most of my protein via milk, yogurt, cheese, etc. UGH. Hey, I am just going to forget all the bad this week and enjoy the weight loss!

Very very discouraged this week another 221 for 3 weeks I did brielfy dip down to 219 yesterday but this am I was 221 I did drink more fluids and have been excercising and still vomiting twice a day and not able to get in more than 900 calories and not losing .. Seems I am drinking alot of milk ,,, craving it in fact ,, so gonna try to cut down on it and see if that gets the weight loss moving ,, I am having hard time eating protein but I am feeling better I can only eat 2 oz of food and that is so hard as I want to eat more and before I realize it I am downing 3 oz and I will vomit the excess out.. had to crack up on my thinking processs I was thinking u know I am so sick of this dieting I am gonna go back and eat like I use 2 and well I can't even do that LOL I am gonna vomit it up LOL I woke and said hello to my self u have a gastric band .. no turning back now LOL . I got to learn patience and know this is gonna take 2 long years .. not 6 mos ...it is a tool not a cure all... I can be so stubborn LOL and patience is nit a vurture I have not acquired LOL Lisa

Highest 345 DOS 323 Last week 244 Today 241 Total Lost 104 Congrats to everyone - you are all doing so well!!

nO loss to report here either. I haven't been to the gym in two months! Once this finance class is overwith, I'm sure i'll get that spare time to go again. I haven't been eating too badly this week thank goodness. I also haven't felt like cooking. I have been living off of Lean Cuisine Pannini's and Smart Ones. Anyway,. here's my #s. I go in for my 6 mo on the 27th, so I'll have more accurate numbers then. DOS 290 Last week 199.5 This week 199.5 - 0 - loss Goal: 180 Sooooo close I can taste it! Take care everyone!!!

Well well well...I have been stuck at 208 it seems like forever. and I think it is all these nights that I am working. I have been stuck since I started working nights and I am not getting enough sleep so. I think that is what I am doing wrong. Hang in there everyone.
