Kathy.....Gotcha!!! Im gonna go for level 3. Hopefully this stand still will seize.

Janet....girl you are only a hair away from Onederland, you got this!!!!:clap2: Mango...Good luck finding a WII...My son is almost 16 and he is wanting one. Noone has them, and if they do they sell out within 30 mins. But I was going to let you know that you can go to Walmart.com and buy an actual WII gift card. I guess if I cant get an actual WII, then I will just give him this card hes old enough to wait..... Tammy...Welcome to our forum...You will love it here. Nichole......grrrrrr....you just keep bringing up the exercise challenge that I have been ignoring for a couple of weeks now:heh:...Must be a sign...lol....So put me down...I dont know what the levels mean tho..... Phyl....congrads on getting to meet with Janet. I know you two must of had a wonderful time...Its always cool to put a face with a name.... As for me still doing good... Tried one of those new Sammies at Quiznos. Man are they good. the best 2 bucks I ever spent. 300 cals and so very filling..I am a PBer and Slimer and I ate it just fine.... I go for my 3rd fill Jan 7th. What a good date, get thru the holidays and then I get a tune up....lol

I know this is an old post, but hey its new to me, I just found it...Pre band I was 197 pounds and I am 5'3. I wore a tight 14 loose 16. To date I am about 158 pounds and I am wearing a comfortable size 8 jeans right now. I see people smaller then me wearing bigger sizes. So I guess just different builds....My goal is a size 6. My boobs have dropped from a 40D to a 38C. Which I am glad, I dont miss them at all, nor do I miss the back aches that come along with them.....

It is so cool that you two got to meet!!! :whoo:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I didnt tell anyone but my mom, husband and best friend. I am able to go out and eat with co workers and friends and noone is able to tell that I have a band. I have learned what I can eat and what will make me slime or even be sick and I just work around it. I wasnt going to tell my hubby at first, but the closer it got to my surgery date, the more excited I got and I had to tell him. He was surprisingly very supportive. And now I am able to talk to him about it which is great because since I got my band its all I want to talk about. Good luck with your surgery!!!!Keep us posted!!!

Hey Everyone...Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was good, my mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer this past January so she wasnt able to do the cooking as she normally does, so my sister and I pitched in and it turned out great...I ended up losing 11 pounds total for the Thanksgiving Challenge. I am now out of the 160's...Seemed like I was 160 something forever...I now weigh 158. Looks like most everyone did great on the challenge. Its starting to seem like my band is getting loose or something, I can eat a lot more then I could. :help: I am sceduled for a fill on Jan 7th. So I guess I will just have to rely on willpower this month more so the usual.

Its getting there for sure...But still have the "fat girl syndrome" I dont know if this feeling will ever go away. But hey I can sure wear a lot cuter clothes and can breathe if I walk to the mailbox so I would say.....YES it feels AWESOME!!!!:whoo:

Awweee....shucks....you know how us girls do it!!!!:clap2:

WOW :clap2: so far thats a total of 100 and half pounds...UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

Hey there ppl. Hope everyone is doing good. I have been so busy at work this week trying to fit 2 days into 5, I havent been able to breathe, much less get on here. I lost 3 lbs this week. So Phyl, -3 more pounds for me.....I seem to weigh the same all week and then on that 7 day, bam WEIGHTLOSS..So I decided this next week I would not get mad at myself on the 6th day. I guess it all comes out in the "wash". Anyway I think I have one more pound to lose by Thanksgiving goal. I would have never thought I would even get this close, so if I dont make it Im okay with that too. In case I dont get back on before Thanksgiving, Everyone have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving...Enjoy your day!!!

Hey Phyl.... Put me down for 3 more lbs for this week..Im down to 162!!! Yayyyy Meeeee

WOW, babygotback...you look FANTASTIC! I can only pray that my body take shape like yours has. Im 165 right now, so I still have about 30 lbs to goal. What kind of excercising are you doing? and how often?

Thanks Indio...I lost my son 12/15/1999. He had just turned 3 yrs old that September. Sometimes it seems like hes been gone forever and sometimes it seems like he was just here yesterday...

Mango....you are toooo funny!!!

Kirajh....I am a huge believer in organ and tissue donations. I lost a son to neuroblastoma cancer when he was three, he had to go thru a bone marrow transplant so I really know the importance of being a donor. I dont think people realize how very important it is..I just donated blood last Saturday. (Saved 3 peoples lives) My son went thru gallons of blood during his battle with cancer. And right now my mother is battling lung cancer and needs donors as well....So HUGE KUDOS on bringing this subject up.....:clap2:

Hey Hey everyone...I think this website has been down all morning, it wouldnt let me on anyway. Well I am down 3 lbs for the TG challenge. It was 5 lbs Saturday, but darn Aunt Flo had to make her visit this morning. Oh well 3 pounds is good too...I am so impressed by the pounds that people are dropping on this TG challenge. I am so glad all of you joined me in it...Phyl you are doing a great job keeping up with it...I am hoping I can meet that 10 lb goal, and then another 10lbs by Christmas. I vow this week not to get on the scaled every single day...I will not get on it again till Sunday...Oh okay, Im lying but Im gonna try....

Indio, yes put me down for two pound week mini goal...Im hitting the gym tonight...This band cant do it all by itself.....

Someone please throw me on this bandwagon!!! I think my scales are broke they have been reading 168 for 2 weeks now, whats up with that????

Congrads, thats a huge accomplishment.... Keep up the good work!!! :clap2:

I havent had any problems with my port swelling, not even after surgery. Im sure someone on here has tho.....Sounds like your weight loss journey is just beginning!! Good luck!!

Phyl, can you go ahead and put my current and goal ? 168/158 I am not believing how many people decided to go on this challenge...It just blows my mind, You guys are great...
