Weigh-Ins for the signs101 Losers (the good kind!)

[Border]

I was hoping to be under the 200 lb mark by New Years. Was at 220 earlier this Fall. Got 7 pounds left to go so it's not likely I will make it but I'm still gonna push even harder on this last strectch! It's a tough time to eat lightly though so I'm working out more and have totally laid off the beer (My biggest temptation) as of a week ago, for now at least. No soft drinks at all either, although i never really did drink many of those anyways.
Hell, the beer alone must amount to at least about a 1000 calorie per day reduction for me! -At least! I like beer....ALOT!


Well, time for some more situps!

Was at 245 got down to 220 so I decided to stop smoking back up to 252 but haven't had a cigarette (For the most part) in 5 months. Now my Cholesterol went up to 700 so I am on plethora of drugs and now I need an MRI on my Pancreas.

Good for you, Stacy!
I am still about the same.
I weigh 145, but I would like to weigh 125.
My boobs are no longer "up" but at least I am down two pants sizes since last year at this time.
Love...Jill

I'm back on (what my wife and I refer to as): "Fatkins Diet" meaning salads, NO BREAD, NO BEER (ouch) and NO SUGAR!
Already lost about 5 pounds this week, and was never hungry, although very bored.
I have to stick with wine and no-beer stuff for fun!
Atkins diet is the ONLY thing that has consistently worked for wife and me. She's 41 and has the bod of a 27 something. I have a little "catching up" to do. But seriously, keeping off the carbs causes me to lose weight daily, and I'm never hungry. Just make sure you keep a ton of low-carb stuff around the house (bacon, ham, chicken, turkey, salad, cheese, strawberries, etc. You can get a list of low-sugar/carb products at Atkins site.) If you do it "right," it's really a healthy way to successfully lose weight.

I am on a new diet.
I will either not gain -or- loose 30 pounds by friday.

Saturday, I will reward myself and go to outback steakhouse for a blooming onion.

On a serious note, congrats to all who are hanging in there with their diets.

I've lost 18 lbs since joining the gym 2 months ago. I'm now back into running and hope to be back in shape by spring to be into competitive running again!

I had a lap-band put in about 5 weeks ago. I still doesn't make me feel full. I have alost about 20 pounds in the last month though.

 

[Jillbeans]

Are you saying you are still hungry after having had the lap band installed?
(installed? I don't know what to call it)
I have put on 5# since last year, probably due to stress.
Went back to the hypnotist last month to get rebooted, and it has helped considerably.

Yep, I still do not feel like I am full even when I eat a large meal. My typical meal is supposed to be about the size of 2 gold balls. I can almost eat as much as I did before (which could be a lot). I've been told that I might have to have saline added 3-4 times before I start to feel the "full" sensation.
