The last two weeks of weight loss are mainly due to higher activity rates than anything else. I am still struggling with head hunger, and a need to have an adjustment. I have another health problem that is preventing an adjustment at this time so I will just have to keep working off of resolve and willpower. It has now been one year since my initial consult. With that all being said, here are my results for last week. 05Oct06          389.0   -           Initial Consult with Illinois Bariatric Clinic 30Jan07           359.6   -           Lap Banding Day 08Mar07         First Fill          Band is at 4cc’s 16Apr07          Second Fill      Band is now at 6cc’s 30Sep07          280.8               Last Weeks Weight 07Oct07          279.2   -           1.6# Loss since last Sunday 109.8# Loss overall 80.4#   Loss since surgery 35.2#   Loss since last band fill Starting BMI = 57.44 Current BMI = 41.23

It's been a couple of weeks since my last check-in.  It's been kind of crazy around here.  My Dad was in the hospital with pneumonia then passed away on Wednesday.  It wasn't unexpected;  actually, I am very much at peace with it as he has had pretty much no quality of life for the last few years after his stroke.   I am about socialized out with all the pre-funeral get-togethers.  I am a pretty private person anyway, so all the extra activity from people, although well-meant, tends to make me want to retreat to the nearest cave.  And of course, there is food everywhere.  I haven't really been tempted at all, even with the dreaded ICE CREAM.  But people keep saying, "Oh, go ahead, a little won't kill you".  And this about a minute after they compliment me on how good I am looking.   So anyway, I will be glad when all the hoopla is over and done with.  In the meantime, I have lost 6 pounds over the last two weeks. I recently moved and am unpacking boxes that have been in storage for the last 5 years.  I am finding old favorites like a leather bomber jacket that actually fit again!  Unfortunately, I need to go buy a suit today for the funeral.  All of my suits either are too big for me or still too small.  I have an assortment of most other clothes in most sizes as I've yo-yo'd through the years.

Highest Weight	328
Weight at Surgery (5/21/2007)	308
Current Weight	237.5
Total Lost	90.5

I' VE been on vacation most of September (best Sept. of my life ) Eating different foods in strange places- totally out of my routine. However, I managed to stay active and make sane choices. As a result I'm down 12 lbs. since my last weigh-in on 9/16. I'll take that. Heres the numbers: Highest: 387 lbs. DOS : 358 lbs. Last, 9/16 : 274 lbs. Today, 10/07 :262 lbs. (-12) I'm down 125 lbs. from my highest. 15 lbs. to goal. Life is good. DD

Hi Guys

I guess I am at a plateau.  I've been stuck at 257 for about a week.  I am almost 7 weeks out.  I started working out in the gym last monday, so hopefully I just built up a little muscle.

Lost 61 pounds so far

GTood luck everyone!

Hey Guys, traveling on the banquet circuit at the moment so just trying to hang on.  It's conference season, where everything is carb buffet it seems.  Doing OK, but miss the scale going down.  But it isn't going up either...so that's a good day!!!  The FART is that people I saw just 10lbs ago didn't recognize me.  I guess it's shifting still.
