Thank you Ginger!!

Well my fellow a MAY zing bandsters... I went to try on the wedding gown again tonight...and...... the 16 fit!! it was a bit tighter than I would prefer..maybe another 15 lbs or so... and it would fit ok... but I spoke with the seamstress and was told that they can take it in a full 2 sizes so I'm thinking that I'll order the 16!!! AND... ...for the first time in I dont know how long... I was able to look in a full length mirror and not completely HATE the way I looked... tonight I had a shape (other than round)... I had a waist... and there werent lumps and bumps... I couldnt stop looking!

I went shopping yesterday for some new PJs... my old ones were hanging off of me... and I looked like bozo the clown!! I got a LARGE!!... no X in front of it!!! AND... I weighed this morning.... 237!!! Down 4 more pounds!! I screamed, danced and whoo hooo'd all through the house!!!

My fiance has gained like 60lbs in the past 2 years since leaving the Army... his mother came to visit last month and begged me to get him to eat better and start going to the gym. I just want him to get healthy...and not sit in front of the TV or computer all night. He sounds alot like your husband.. he's perfectly fine and happy unless you ask him to help out with something... then he turns into a pouting 3 year old!

For me its not so much the maturity level... he's seen alot in his 26 years and had to grow up fast because of living in a warzone (Bosnia) until he was 11... For me its the pure laziness and just being stubborn.

I've tried the training... nothing works.

Up for bid... My fiance Average height and build... Bosnian, speaks several languages, comes with an Xbox 360 and several laptop computers. Needs training...ALOT OF TRAINING!!! Guaranteed to get on your nerves to the point where you want to throw yourself off a bridge! Starting price .... $1

The spa is most defiantly in my plans for one-der-land!! My goal is 199 by our wedding on 11/10/07... So I'm booking my spa day for when we're on our honeymoon in Hawaii...

Sounds like a good idea to me!!! To the highest bidder he goes!!!!!

I'm 31 and my fiance is 26... I love him to death... but right now I'm ready to sell him to the highest bidder.... ... but thats normal though.. right???? :-P

I just got back from another checkup.. .I've lost 2 pounds since my fill on Friday!! They also measured me again.. I've lost 4 inches from my waist and 3 inches from my hips!!! I can't believe it!! It's working!!!! I'm hoping to be in the 230's by next week!!!

HAHA.. I've already shown him a pic of the gown.. He's my best friend.. and we share everything with each other... anyway.. he has NO short term memory... he forgot all about what it looked like about 10 minutes after I showed him...

Will do... next time I try it on.. I'll take some pics.

Ginger... Thank you! It takes about 8-10 weeks to get the dress in if they have to order it. They had a 18 and 14 in stock yesterday. My plan is to go back in a week with the rest of the bridesmaids and try on the 16 again... just to see how things have changed... then return once again a week later and try on the 14. That means its really time for me to crack down and go to the gym!!

OH... and forgot to mention.... I TRIED ON MY WEDDING GOWN TODAY!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! And what I love even more is that I tried on the size 18 which was too big!! The 16 was just about right.... so I'll probably go back in another 2 weeks and order the 14!!!! I still have 4 months until the wedding... that gives me plenty of time to get into it!!!

2nd fill went GREAT! So far so good.. they added an additional 1.5cc (2.5 cc total) and now I can actually feel the liquid (on liquid for 2 days) hitting the band..then trickling through... hopefully It'll stay that way!!

hmm... that site says 162 for me...

Thank you all... I'm really hoping this one works!!

After my first fill I could still eat anything....if you do try it.. take it easy!

So far I'm loving this fill!!! I had tomato soup for dinner (back on liquids for 48 hours then mushies for another 48 hours)... I can actually feel the soup hitting the band....then trickling through!!!

I'm 5'2'' and chose my goal weight as 150. I remember after I had my daughter I was a tight size 10 at 165...and I would have been happy toning up and losing a few more pounds to put me at a 8/10. But then again.. who knows... maybe I'll find happiness before 150...

I just got back from my 2nd fill... they added 1.5 cc for a total of 2.5cc HOPEFULLY this will do the trick!!! And I'm down another 2lbs... don't know how... even with TOM!

Hopefully so!!! Good luck to you... let us know how you make out!

I agree with you Faith... After my first fill (6/29) my Dr said to schedule another visit in 6-8 weeks but to give it a week or two and if I didnt feel any difference to call and schedule a sooner appt. Well, I gave it 6 days and no difference.. so I called but the soonest I could get in was today (7/13). However I'm keeping my appt for 8/1 JUST IN CASE this fill does nothing for me..

I felt a little different for about 4 days...then back to starving... I'm going for my 2nd fill today.
