Just 1 pound this week, but considering I spent all week driving over 2300 miles I'm cool with that. Need to kick up the exercise this week. Diet control remains fine. I am wearing 42" pants now, for the first time in almost a decade! Take care. JP

I had an interesting week. I got stuck, but good on Tuesday. After my body decided what I had ate was not going to pass through the band, it found an alternate route for the food to take. I will not be repeating that experience again! Overall, I had a pretty good week. We celebrated my Grandsons 7^th birthday on Sunday. I had cake for the first time since I began my weight loss journey. I was hoping it would taste like crap, but it was still pretty good. But it made me feel like crap. Because of the birthday party, I am posting my recorded weight for Saturday morning… I don’t even want to know what the birthday party did to me. I am going to hit the Gym extra hard to be sure that whatever it did is negated. With that all being said, here are my results to date… 05Oct06          389.0   -           Initial Consult with Illinois Bariatric Clinic 14Jan07           385.8   -           3.2# loss since Initial Consult 17Jan07           383.4   -           Pre-Op Consult - 2.4# loss (Start Liquid Diet) 21Jan07           371.2   -           12.2# loss since Pre-Op Consult 28Jan07           362.8   -           8.4# Loss since last Sunday 30Jan07           359.6   -           Lap Banding today 3.2#! Loss since last weigh 04Feb07          355.2   -           4.4# Loss since surgery date. 08Feb07          352.8   -           Post-Op Consult - 2.4# loss since Sunday 11Feb07          349.6   -           3.2# Loss since Post-Op Consult 18Feb07          350.2   -           0.6# GAIN since last Sunday 25Feb07          344.4   -           5.8# Loss since last Sunday 04Ma07           338.4   -           6.0# Loss since last Sunday 11Mar07          333.8   -           4.6# Loss since last Sunday 18Mar07          327.6   -           6.2# Loss since last Sunday 61.4# Loss overall                    32.0# Loss since surgery

Hello Dx Well my new goal is to gain some weight. I want to put some muscle back on(god please help)lol I have been hitting the gym 5-6 day a week. Some easy and some days hard but I relly enjoy it. Stress reducer! Starting weight:    358lbs Current weight:     208lbs Loss:                     -150lbs Hope everyone hase a great day, Derrick

Thanks for all of you guys that post at weigh-ins and Dx for doing this.  This post really keeps me motivated in following week.  I had been stalled twice since January with 10 lbs lost in between but the scale is moving again and I am pumped again, but aware that the process is slowing down as I get smaller ( I appreciate the % loss postings twice during this period as it kept my perspective  and my slitting my wrists with a wooden spoon!).  I am really glad I had RNY bypass and pleased-a*****h with whats happening as a results of the WLS and all the great advice and encouragement from the guys on this Board.  Seeing everyones success,  progress, and overcoming of BUMPS in the road keep me going forward. Thanks again to all. Joe Heaviest: 408 Surgery Date: 374 Current: 264 Goal: 180 Loss to Date: 144 Left to Lose: 84 I have my first 10K March 31 and a goal of weighing 250 bby race day and to finish in 90 minutes or less.  Results may be posted in the obituaries.

Hi guys Had a 3 lb loss this week after being sick and missing 2 days of excercise, so I am in pretty good spirits.  I hit a milestone today a well.  Today I weigh 339 which is exactly 100 less than I was on my surgery date.  (October 23, 2006) Several of my friends from this board have been kind enough to send me old clothes because I have been going through my old ones like nobody's business.  Thanks

Congradulations Scott!  Keep up the good work.

Derrick

Congratulations Scott - 100 lbs!  You're doing great! Steve

Been a while since I have logged onto the site. Been crazy with working out, playing paintball, and the 15 inches of snow we got Friday night. Holy hell. Last week I was outside in a t shirt, yesterday I had on 3 shirts and two pairs of pants. Funny thing is, when I used to shovel at over 450 pounds I would wear a sweatshirt because I would be sweating my nuts off. So here is my weigh in. Missed the last 3 or 4 because of my "plateau" Starting weight 455 Weight at surgery 364 Last weight in 310 Today  296 First time since I was in HS that I am under 300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Total loss from surgery 68 Total loss since 158

Good Morning to the Locker Room!

I've been on the road and had a hotel without a scale last week. When I returned home it was my first trip where I had lost weight and not gained or stayed the same.
I had a chiropratic appointment on Wed after getting home and I think he bruised a rib and it hurts today!
So with no exercise here are my numbers ....

2006 Highest -- 375
11/22/06 Surgery Wegiht -- 348
Today 3/18/07 -- 266

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS -- 82lbs

Squeezing into a size 42 slack, glad I have some 10+ year old clothes in the closest!!

Everyone have a GREAT WEEK!
Happy to be on the losers bench!!
