By the way, Jessica, your new avatar is beautiful! You look so radiant!

Good Morning Everyone, I did not lose anything this week. This is my first week since surgery that I have not lost anything. I don't like it. LOL. But I knew things would probably start to slow down. Highest: 347 DOS: 323 Last Week:205 Today: 205 I have lost 114lbs since surgery and a total of 142lbs overall.

I didn't do as well as last week, but I'll take it!! DOS 287 LAST WEEK 196 TODAY 195 ONE MORE POUND GONE.

I lost one pound this week highest 357 DOS 349 today 258 So close to century club it is so within reach!!!! dee

Goodmorning everyone. I had a big weight loss this week. 5 1/2 pounds. Of course my stress level is over the top and my life sucks right now. So that doesnt help matters. Highest: 276 DOS: 263 Last week: 165 Today: 159.5 9.5 lbs to goal. I hope my home life gets better so I can enjoy reaching my goal. Cindy

Guess it is ok to post .. and thanks everyone for the kind words and emails. Just had to lick my wounds for a bit and hide in shame ..I finally decided to come back and see how my fellow A team memeber r doing... Guess I am in good company when it came to gaining pounds I gained 7 lbs went up to 225 eeeek . But to be honest I have been vomiting 4 times a day and when that all stopped 2 weeks ago I gained the weight back really fast.. I went to the doctor and I am very anemic and I was bleeding from my ulcers but I started taking my medication for the ulcers and I stopped vomiting and swelling went down gained weight.. I hit true starvation mode. The doc gave me a shot of B 12 and iron shots and I am back up to eating 900 to 1200 calories a day and I am feeling much better and able to exercise but man my back is KILLING ME :-0 I do feel better except for my back killing me and my sore shoulder from working out. So here is my stats. All time high was 295 April 1 07 163 I started My wls journey Day of surgery 250 Last week 225 Today 220.8 -5 lbs So if I look at the over all picture 75 lbs gone.. and I pray forever. Still not my all time lowest of 218 but I am much healthier and feel alot better .. and I am out of starvation mode feels good to eat and lose weight. I think I am finally in balance with my body.. just my head needs to catch up . Once again thanks everyone and extra hugs to Crystal Shar Inky for being here for me when I wantred to give u but how do u give up on weight loss surgery? I still have my band .. not like it was going anywhere just my mind was ..in a fog So I put my body and mind on the zap those pounds away mode I think if u really think thin u lose .. So everyone think thin this week lets see how it works .. can't hurt LOL I maybe the slowest loser but at least I am in the losing side I had the surgery and I am doing it just maybe not as fast as I hope but I AM DOING IT!!!! LISA

Lisa, I'm SO glad to see you! I'm sorry you've had such a tough time-I've really missed you! Please don't hide from us-we're all in this together. I'm glad you're doing better now, and you're right-slow and steady wins the race. Take care, Lisa

Well...it must be the Halloween candy i snuck in. I didnt lose anything this week either. Ugh. Okay though ...its a new week and im going to focus on my protein and exercise! I havent been drinking my water like i should either. I'll try to behave this week and see if my efforts pay off! Wish me well DOS: 214 GOAL:120 CURRENT: 138 total loss: -76 lbs p.s. im glad you're doing well lisa hang in there girl, you're doing great (((hugs)))

Hi everyone! I see I am not alone! I didn't lose ANYTHING this week again, but at least I didn't gain. I've been working out like a madwoman and I'm sure I'll see results soon. I feel great and am sleeping better, which is great. I am going to do my best to increase my protein this week-I've been avoiding solid meats because they are hard to eat, and unfortunately carbs slide right in and don't make me sick. I really need to have a protein drink at least once a day to catch up, and I am determined to bring my level up this week. I'll let you know if it helps!

Hi everyone. I lost a pound last week (didn't post) and one this week, so I am at 197. Even though I just reached my latest goal, I am already looking forward and counting down toward my next goal of 178, which puts me in the Century club. At this rate, it will take 19 weeks, but I'm optimistic that I will have a couple of weeks that will be better than the last two, so maybe it won't really take that long. Here are the stats: HW: 278 DOS: 164 LW: 198 CW: 197 81 lbs lost total; 67 since surgery. Have a great week! shana
