The L3 Club -- November

[JoyceGA]

Live, Laugh & Love Club

The members of this "club" are like-minded people who want to challenge each other to keep working toward our goal of weight loss and keeping it off! We have no illusions of the band being a miracle cure, nor do we believe that we will achieve our goals without working for them. We understand that if we continue the lifestyle and eating habits that got us fat in the first place, we will not achieve our goals. We come together in order to strengthen our determination by sharing our dreams, our struggles, and our victories with one another.

We encourage everyone to get to know one another while sharing tips, support, struggles, and encouragement... and a kick in the rear when needed! *grin*

This is not a contest, there is no deadline, and everyone is a winner by being a "loser"!

Sundays are weigh-in days for those who wish to have us update your progress on this page. Please post a brief note on Sundays in the following format: C 265 (-42 lbs total, -3 this week).

(H-highest weight, S-weight at surgery, J-weight when joined this club, G-goal weight, C-current weight, C BMI)

Great work everyone! Now let's get more of us on this page!

[Tricia K.]

I'm in for November! Thanks, Joyce. :)

[503-250]

In for November 2

[A1ikou]

503, you can stay for all of November...not just the 2nd!!!!!!
I'm here too.

["T"]

I wanna come, I wanna come, I wanna come:bananajump:

[JoyceGA]

I wanna come, I wanna come, I wanna come:bananajump:

Just post your information and I'll add you to the list.

(H-highest weight, S-weight at surgery, J-weight when joined this club, G-goal weight, C-current weight, C BMI)


Welcome to the L3 Club!!

[Natural-1]

OK, I'm in for November but may not be able to post my weight every week. This month is very busy for me and it's my vacation month as well.

my stats:
c=170 lbs (-5 over the last couple of weeks -113 total)

[Kathy]

Oooo, Natural! Well done!

I'm here for November! Hey, Joyce, on the Honors page, will you take the "H" off my name? It looks like it's my screen name...Kathy H. I do a double-take when I see it...not that I'll look very often once we get posts onto page 2...anyhow, thought I'd mention it. Thanks, oh good and faithful L3 Leader! :hail:

[JoyceGA]

Duh, I really need to get new glasses. I haven't had my eyes check in two years.

Yes, Miss Kathy, I see you -- NOW.

[PhotoNut]

Okie dokie.. I got a good snug fill yesterday, and I'm only 1 pound over my lowest weight (since banding) so I'm feeling very optomistic about moving on down to Onederland now. I haven't bothered checking in with the club because I had nothing to report.. just some ups and downs, but basically just hanging around the 215 mark and feeling like utter crap for it.

Butt! All that's behind me now! *snicker*

It's time to get busy. It's my favorite time of year and I'm feeling energized and excited about closing out 2006 with a loss of over 100 pounds in a year. Happy Holidays everyone! Let the festivities begin!

["Just" Paul]

I'll be out this month, and not online much.

Have too much personal crap to deal with right now.

I'll try to be back in December.

[Scrapkarla]

Hopefully with my new fill I should start seeing the scale numbers move... Woohoo!!

[JoyceGA]

Paul, we'll miss your wit, but check in when you can. I know what you mean. I try to finish all the year-end business in November, so I can enjoy December.

Susan and Karla, your bands will be working for you now!!

[MiaHalliwell]

My BMI is down to 31.2. I am getting there. I am definately in for this month!

[JDru]

Hi everyone! I guess I can join now that I'm officially banded. I haven't dared to weight myself since surgery. But I will on Sunday and let you all know what I find out...

[503-250]

Woohooooo Go JDRU!

[HeatherGurl]

I'm here too of course!!! :)

[MoOrLess]

I'm here - nutty - but here lol......losing inches when the scale won't budge so I won't complain...winter blouses/sweaters from last winter are BIG this year!

[diva girl]

Hi everyone....

Sorry I've been gone so long. It's just been wild. Company, concerts...you name it. But I'm back on the boards and doing fine.

Had a fill this week and it seems to be working. I'll let you know tomorrow when I weigh in.

Paul...you will be missed. I always enjoy your funny asides.

Chat at you tomorrow.

No change for me......but it's my own fault, I found it's easy to mush up Peanut Butter Cups on Halloween, and today's my birthday so last night we had ice cream cake. It was yummy, but I'm experiencing the consequences everytime I step on the scale!!!!!

[chrispygal]

H 274/ S 268/ J 268/ C 249.5/ G 170 (-24.5 total, -2.5 this week)

After two weeks on mushies the scale FINALLY moved! Yeah! It's funny, just one morning I woke up and 2.5 lbs were gone. I thought it was a fluke, but the scale read the same today. I'll take it!!

[Tricia K.]

No change for me this week.

Best of luck to everyone. :)

[AnnDe]

380/ J 351.5/ C 246/ CBMI 42.7(-131 lbs total, -3 this week)

[Vegaswildflower]

When I reach that goal, you're gonna see one very excited P'Nut! *dances around the house singing "oh oh oh! two OH nine!"

[EmileeKaye]

Ok, I'm in!!! I'm late sorry, have been on vacation. But will try to be good from now on. I havent weighed myself for a couple weeks.....feel like I gained, but my sickie days may have helped some of all that eating out I did.

[A1ikou]

Didn't weigh in last week because my friend was here from the UK for a visit and as a result:-
Current 275, total lost 100, this week +2
Never mind eh, we had a really good week together.

[diva girl]

After no change for two weeks, I finally am down a pound today. Think I will go liquid this week to see if I can shake some more off.

[Tricia K.]

You inspire us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lyn

[JoyceGA]

With the liquids and exercise, I was able to shake off 2 more lbs Sunday, bringing me down 3 for the week.

EmileeKaye and Chevygirl, y'all will be joining Heather and Paul in a few weeks!!!

Where is everyone??

[Kathy]

I think I'm taking the week off. I don't even want to look at the scale, I'm scared. Stuggling. Going for a consult Wed with the band doc, discussing a flouro fill and endoscope. Maybe (hopefully) all I need is a small fill. It's really difficult for me to keep my scale numbers on the lower side, though. I need to regroup, get back in the game soon. I'll be back, though. I'm too close to goal to stop now. :D

[HeatherGurl]

C 200 (-5 since last weigh in)

Sorry so late Joyce... crazy weekend....

[JoyceGA]

Five more pounds, brings your total to 165!!

Fantastic, Heather!!

[PhotoNut]

*sigh* I didnt report in because I was upset over a 2.5 gain. *sigh*

Ah well, take the bad with the good right?

C 211.5 (-95.5 lbs total, +2.5 this week)

[PhotoNut]

Woah! Lookit! Heather's sitting at the doorstep of Onederland! :woot:

[Natural-1]

Congrats Tricia and to all who have lost this week!

I haven't been able to look at the boards in a few days but it appears everyone is doing well. I am still maintain around 171lbs to 175lbs and I am OK with that. It's been a year & I'm looking forward to vacation next week.

[Scrapkarla]

Sunday's are hard for me to get on here.. Family takes up my time.. so anyway..

C246 (-75 total, -2 this week) woohoo!!! All I needed was a fill....yay

[JDru]

Sunday weigh in: 205 (-13 total, -1.8 this week). Slowly, but surely...

[MoOrLess]

Hi everyone! sorry I missed weigh-in day - here I thought Sunday would be easier - ha! no such luck.....family and running and children and busy and school and crazy.......well you get the idea!

I just wanted to say congrats to Heather and Trisha and everyone else who had a loss this week! way to go ladies!

oh..uh I stayed the same - maintaining and that's good enough for me

[chrispygal]

Ooooh Heather - could you get any closer to onderland??!! Just another couple of ounces and you are there!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :clap2:

[EmileeKaye]

With the liquids and exercise, I was able to shake off 2 more lbs Sunday, bringing me down 3 for the week.

EmileeKaye and Chevygirl, y'all will be joining Heather and Paul in a few weeks!!!

Where is everyone??

Joyce if by joining them you mean hit the -150 mark? I don't plan on getting there if ever. That would be me at 150 at 5'9 almost another 25 pounds...I have people telling me I'm too skinny now, I think I'd scare people at that weight. But I would like to see 165 maybe...

[Tricia K.]

Thanks, Mo. :hug: Hang in there.

[MoOrLess]

lol Trisha - I'm hanging - just not quite the way I'd like lol

[JoyceGA]

EmileeKaye, you are right. Once you reach goal -- STOP. I forget that everyone isn't like ME and needs to lose 285 to reach my goal.

Thanksgiving is next week. What do y'all say that we post how the band or losing weight has made us thankful this year?

[PhotoNut]

Joyce, I was just thinking about that very thing.. posting what we are thankful for. Great minds think alike :) :)

The first thing that comes to my mind is that I am 100 pounds less of a woman than I was last Thanksgiving. Last year I ignored all of the holidays. I was in physical pain from being so obese, I had a hernia I was babying, and I was so depressed that I was sure I was at the end of my life (natural death y'all.. I am NOT the suicide type!). This year, I am full of the holiday spirit, I want to go out shopping with my daughter and take our grandson to see the Christmas lights, AND I'm cooking a nice HEALTHY Thanksgiving dinner for the family (Mom's coming to stay with us for a few days).

So, in a P'Nutshell... I'm thankful to be alive. Really ALIVE.

Oh and by the way. I really DID say 100 pounds. As of today, I've lost 100 pounds! Put me in the century club! :woot:

[HeatherGurl]

VERY big WOOT for the NUT!!!

[HeatherGurl]

I am very thankful for my little girl. She is the best thing, besides DH, that has ever happened to me. She is just freakin awesome!

[JoyceGA]

Congratulations, Susan!! I have 11 lbs to go to join you in the 100 lb club. 50 is looking pretty good, isn't it?

PhotoNut, I am like you. I was so ready to die of obesity last year, and those around me expected me to. So much has changed for me this year. I am so active and have so much to look forward to. Truly THANKFUL!!

EVERYONE, I've had a late person ask to join the Happy Holidays Gift Exchange. If there is ONE or more who would like to join TODAY. Please PM me.http://band2gether.net/showthread.php?t=868

[kim_8]

Sorry I'm late with the weigh in. Was out of town with no scale in my hotel room!

H 235 / S 218 / J 164.5 / G 135 / C 162.5 / C BMI 29.7 (-72.5 lbs total) -2 this week

Now for the subject at hand! Why am I thankful for my band or for losing weight?

I am thankful that I was fortunate enough to be able to gather together the money to do this surgery since my insurance doesn't cover banding.

I am thankful that my mom and dad are looking at me now and thinking that they too, maybe should do this. I worry about my dad in particular as he's about 360 and 5'7" and has horrible high blood pressure. I'm glad that this has planted a seed in his mind because he was dead set against this in the beginning.

I'm thankful that I can shop in any store now.

I'm thankful that I can wear a size 12 - I didn't think those words would EVER come out of my mouth. Who'd have thought??? A size 12! It's really exciting to me.

Most of all, I'm thankful to the people on this board who give me a boost in times of need and keep me on track when I'm falling off. I notice that when I don't read the board, my weight loss stops. When I get involved again, the weight loss picks up again. So thanks to all of you and thanks to Sus and Dawg for providing this forum!!!

Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!

["Just" Paul]

I can tell ya...

Last year I was basically dying. Doc told me I wouldn't reach 50. I was pushing 400 lbs.

Now... I'm almost at 200 lbs...
I'm doing a body-building challenge with Telly...
I'm acting in movies...
I'm playing with my daughter...
I'm riding a bike...
I'm buying clothes in regular stores!

and I'm actually looking forward to my physical in a couple weeks!

Never thought I'd get to this point.

Thankful for my band?


Damn straight!

[chrispygal]

Congrats P'Nut!!!! 100 lbs is a GREAT achievement!

This year I am thankful that, for the first time in years, I am looking forward to the upcoming year and what it holds for me. I am also thankful for the inspiration and support I receive here at B2G, which is invaluable to me at this point in my journey.

[diva girl]

Paul! You're back. Yay. We missed you. Your achievements are legion and your spirit is awesome. Stay with us.

P'Nut. 100 pounds. I am bowing down to your greatness. In a year, I hope that this will be me. I am so so so happy for you. You must feel so proud and happy with yourself.

Weigh-in tomorrow. If I don't lose a pound I'm going to be quite cranky.

Great job on the great weight losses this week too everyone! I stayed the same - nothing worth reporting.

[MiaHalliwell]

Sorry I have not checked in but I have had nothing new to report.

[JoyceGA]

I'm back in the "no change" group this week. AND I will be liquid all week, so I can eat real food on Thanksgiving at our family reunion. I'm 89 lbs less than the last time my skinny cousins saw me.

Congrats to PhotoNut and Diva for losing 6 pounds this week!!!

It's a tough week ahead, everyone. Be strong!!!

Haven't lost any new weight, but I'm losing what I had gained. Had a fill Thursday.

It's waaaay too easy to eat 1400+ calories with almost 50% fat when on mushies. Who knew?! Geez! Any low-fat mushy foods ideas out there? So far I'm good with chili, bean soup, cottage cheese, but chicken salad is way loaded with fat. Guess I need to make my own and not buy the store-made? Yeah. Duh.

[Kathy]

Oh and by the way. I really DID say 100 pounds. As of today, I've lost 100 pounds! Put me in the century club! :woot:

Excellent work! Yay P'nut! Congratulations!!!!


C 241 (-80lbs total, -5lbs this week)

[JoyceGA]

Welcome to the L3 Club and B2G, Jameza40! Jess, be sure to remind us as your surgery day approaches. What a way to spend Christmas, but you will be starting off 2007 with a BANG!

I think in December I'm going to add a list of those who have reached their goals. Some of you don't have to lose over 100, and may be maintaining at your goal. So, next time you report in, mention if you have reached your final goal weight.

[HeatherGurl]

I will be in Uvalde, TX at deer camp thru Sunday... So, you guys will not be hearing from me for a couple of days. Hopefully I won't freeze my tush off.

New Low Alert! 173.4!!! The ONLY good thing about being sick. I just wonder how long it will last? Dangit, though, it's weigh-in day and I'm claiming it, even if I have to unclaim it next week. I'll work to keep it off. We'll see.

Happy Thanksgiving L3 club!!

So, did you blow their minds? :heh:

Welcome Jess! :nod:

[JoyceGA]

Kathy, I have one cousin who has to be a size 2 and runs a Weight Watchers group. She was amazed that I did it on my own with just "this" on line support.

However, the scales show today that I added 2 lbs over the feast. Back to protein drinks this week.

oops, 2 pounds is nothing that a few days of cutting back won't fix. Don't fret. That's so funny about your size 2 cousin. Amazed, huh? Did you remind how amazing you are, and why should she be surprised? :heh: Good for you!!!!!

[EmileeKaye]

I over ate for a couple days...and it was damn yummy, I love my moms mashed potatoes and I don't care! But other than that...I was proud how I did this week. I've been doing good.

Hi Telly! **Waves**

["Just Jess"]

Thanks for all the "welcomes!" Glad to be a part of the group!

Tell me... how did you all (or WHAT did you all) eat this Thanksgiving? Being it was my last.. I am SO curious what next year will hold in store for me! :)


Thanks,
Jess

[Telly]

Jameza..hehe I ate everything I could find but my favorite was my mother's deviled eggs and the cajun spiced/injected deep fried turkey. I had no idea how great those taste and how moist and non-greasy they are until I had my first bite.

I had a great time and meal..hence the 3lb gain. For the first time in my life, I am not worried about the weight gain. It was soo worth 7 months of hard ass kicking.

[chrispygal]

H 274/ S 268/ J 268/ C 247.5/ G 170 (-26.5 total) No change for me this week.

Not bad considering I definitely at more than I should have at Thanksgiving. But I got back on track this weekend, so that's all that matters. I get my first fill on Wed - I can't wait!

[lins12]

All time low for me too!! Hope I don't have to take it back.
Lins12 - H 222.5/ J 185/ G 145/ C 175 (-47.5 lbs total, -2 lbs)I can't wait to be in the lost 50 lbs club!!! LET ME IN!!! :)

I havn't updated in a couple of weeks since I have had mostly gains. The holidays are proving harder than I thought! I did gain a couple of pounds back this week but I am down overall so I'm posting.

My home scale says that my weight is exactly the same as before I left but my mother's scale says 3lbs difference.

I'm going with my scale. Therefore, no loss no gain.

Telly!!! You are in the 100 group!!

Lins12, you will be in the 50 group before you know it.

Congrats to all who managed to maintain or lose over the foodie weekend.

[PhotoNut]

Woohoo! I love this band!! On Thanksgiving Day, I nibbled a bit on the baked beans and then had only a small serving of mashed potatoes and peas at dinner. The next day, however, was my downfall! LOL! I had two salad plates full of all the goodies. Before Thanksgiving, I was down another three pounds! But, alas, I have no change to report this week because I put them back on! LOL! This next weigh-in should be great though!

Oh, by the way, I did all the cooking this year and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Not the best month for me. Sorry I've been away, I hurt my back and was down and out for 2 weeks. I'm getting back on track now. My doctor was very happy I made it through Halloween without gaining so if he's happy, I'm happy. I'm so close to being below 300 I can taste it. :p

[JDru]

No change for me this week. But I am glad for that, bc I defeinitely ate a little too much on Thanksgiving. Damn the whipping cream! :)

Wow - that is good news!!!! :) Thanks for the inspiration! I am starting to get cold feet... and the nerves are coming and going...

But I'll work through it...

[Telly]

Well Jess, the good news is... I ate soo much and did not gain any weight, according to my scales. My mother's scales..now that's another question.

You can eat..just gotta exercise it off.

["Just" Paul]

All time low for me too!! Hope I don't have to take it back.

Comeon Lins... almost there!

[JoyceGA]

Y'all continue to report in this week for November. I'll put up the December L3 Club on Thursday night.

[503-250]

Finally...8 lbs gone.

Started at 438, now i'm 430...73 lbs gone forever

["Just" Paul]

503...

Dude, way to go!!!

[HeatherGurl]

:cheer2: :cheer2: Way to go 503!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cheer2::cheer2:

[503-250]

I'm just dying to get into the secret 150+ club, you guys are amazing to me.

personally its current not in my reasonable vision, but I know I will get there at some point. For right now, I think your docs should reward you for how good you make them look...I think 100 bucks a lb is fair.

[Kathy]

503, you are doing great...hang in there! WOW!!!

So gang, I quit smoking. I'm maintaining for 2 days now...175.0. Still a new low, even though it's up from Sundays weigh-in. Granted, Sunday's weigh-in was after 2 days in bed sick. I'm not sure I ate ANYthing! It's all a Fog. I'm happy that my tastebuds and appetite, so far, haven't gone on overdrive. I'm 40 hours Quit. Right nowI feel like crap, not sure why...but the scale reading this morning rocks!

[HeatherGurl]

Kathy you are doing great!!! It will only get easier... the more hours you can say you are without ciggie... the more proud we all get of you!!! You are fighting 2 strong battles (food and ciggie's) and you are kicking butt!

[Kathy]

Know what's cool, Heather? I'm not able to replace the cig urges with food like I did before. And I guess I have been banded long enough that it's easier NOT to replace the hand/mouth with food. ??? I say this now, but so far I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm still in the throws of withdrawal, for sure. We'll see how it all pans out. I'm hoping for good good numbers, though. I'm just 7 pounds from wedding weight. Wow!

You are soooo AT GOAL! WTG Heather! Fab work. Just FAB!

[Kim G]

Ok so it's been forever since I posted here...Life just gets too busy sometimes. I forgot I was a part of this great group...I am gone just to come back to see all these great things going on.

Here is my updated info:

Kim G - H 316.8 / J 227.0 / C 215.1 / G 200 (-101.7)

Everyone is doing great!!!! Keep up the good work. Kathy I am so proud of you!!!! I never knew. Keep it up girl we are here for you anytime you need us.

[JoyceGA]

The December L3 Club is open now. Please post there.
