ATTENTION!!!! I'm a loser AGAIN!

Hi all! I know I've been quiet the whiner lately. I totally appreciate everyone's help and advise! You are all so wonderful! I went to my checkup today and weighed in.....(drum roll PULLLEEASE!) DOWN 4 POUNDS form 2 weeks ago! Can we say YEAH BABY!!!! I also stated Glucophage and been paying more attention to carbs. Last week was the total pitts and I quiet frankly was having horrible thoughts. But, alas, it's a new week. Bandster's, I love ya all! To all the so called "slow" loser's out there. Take heart. At least we are still LOSER'S! I average about 1 1/2 pounds down a week since banding. Not what I would have liked, but, hey! it's still better than it would be without this thing! Right? Just feeling like I'm hitting my stride and wanted to bring some welcome "slow loser" news! Hang in there! Marti 314/278/150

Thanks for the slow loser news. It is hard losing slower than what we would like. I know that if I didn't have the band I would've gained weight during this time. So when I get discourgaed at what I have lost I try to think how much I would weigh now without the band. Congrats on your weight loss! Amy 270/248/170

Great job Marti!!! I lose weight funny...I hang on to the pounds for over a week, and then boom....3 or 4 lbs gone....so strange....maybe that's what you are doing too....whatever it is it's great! Keep up the good work and you'll be to goal in no time!!! Michelle 242/218/140

Marti, Congrats to you!!! Hopefully I will see a drop on the scale when I get on it next. Actually, I am to the point where I don't even get on the scale; I am tired of seeing it not move. But I am so happy for you!!! Keep up the good work!!! Keep us informed of your progress. Way to go!!! Nicole

Marti - Congratulations!!!! Chelle

Marti, Congratulations! I knew you'd be fine. It sounds as though you are paying good attention and taking good care of yourself. 1.5 pounds a week is a GREAT average and you should be proud. HOORAY! -Elizabeth

Hey Marti - well done from one slow loser to another. That's a total of 36# The best thing is that even if the weight loss is slow, it is staying off and that is like a little miracle in itself. I have had a leaky port for the last two months and I have been struggling to just maintain my weight. I finally had it replaced yesterday (puncture hole in the tubing)and now I have hope that I can kick start the weight loss again. I loved reading your 'slow loser' news and I'll look forward to reading the next instalment in a month or so. Marion 302/271/260's........mini goal

Marion! I'm so sorry you've had such a time with that tubing and port! It's all good from here on, though.....right? We definately will keep up on each other's progress. I'm feeling better about this journey. ps. I've decided my first mini goal is worth a couple of nice diamond earings! 250 sounds good I'm going to take this in 50 pound incremants! Marti

Hey, I know what you mean. The scale finally moved for me 2. Congrats girlfriend, Work It!!!!!! Lana 264.1/251/127
