Jack are you a writer? You have such a way with words!

WOW!! You have won my respect! I can only imagine how sore I would be! Not to mention my back would be out because I would be on my butt quicker than you could snap your fingers. LOL!! It's great that you are accomplishing your goals Alexandra!! Keep kicking butt woman!!!

I went crazy after I found out I had a date for surgery. I ate everything that wasn't nailed down I gained 20 lbs. in 2 months. I was miserable! I feel your pain. The waiting can be painful! Hang in there & be kind to yourself! We're here. Just come & vent!

Welcome to Band Land!! Nice to meet you!!

I'm addicted to the scales! I weigh every morning. I just started measuring because of one of the challenges & I wish I had been doing it all along. I think it is actually more rewarding for me than watching the scale bounce up & down.

I have made some updates to my NSV list so I'm bumping this thread! LOl!!

starting weight on January 5 was 300 lbs. January 5, 2006 weight = 300 lbs measurements: neck = 17 inches upper arms = 18.5 bust = 53 inches waist = 48 inches hips = 57 inches thigh = 32 inches calf = 20 inches January 16, 2006 weight = 296 lbs measurements: neck = 16.75 inches upper arms = 17.75 inches bust = 52.5 inches waist = 47.5 inches hips = 55 inches thigh = 31 inches calf = 19 inches January 23, 2006 weight = 292 neck = 16.75 inches upper arm = 17.5 inches bust = 51.5 inches waist = 47.5 inches hips = 54 inches thigh = 29.5 inches calf = 16.5 inches current weight = 292 lbs total weight loss = 8 lbs. total inches lost = 12.25 inches A new NSV!! I'm shrinking!!!!! :bounce:

start weight 305 current weight 292 -13 lbs total NSV - When I went in for a fill last week, I had room on both sides of the gurney!

Very cute! I sent these to my Nana. She lives for this stuff now that she has discovered the internet! LOL! Thanks Donali!

I hope your baby is okay! Keep us updated!

I have the 10cm band & it holds up to 4cc. He said I am really tight. So far so good! But if I think I am too tight later, I will get a smalll unfill. My fills usually start out really tight & then loosen up in a week or two.

You got it Regina! Good luck to you!!

Dear Lord! I do not want to have a PB that bad! So far my worst PB was on a pickle. I know! But I love em!! Now I just drink pickle juice!! :high5:

OOOhhh! I want to get mine whitened too! I can't give you any answers here, but if you do it, be sure to let us know how it went!

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Congrats! Keep us updated!

I do stay full longer! Right now I'm doing liquid breakfast. I have always been tighter in the mornings. Then soup for lunch, & tonight will be my first night on regular food so we'll see. Although I did cheat last night & have a couple of bites of red beans & rice & it went down fine. It just filled me up so quick. It is scarry. Food has always been my comfort. Now it can't be. Good luck oh2bthin!

:hug: Hey girl! I'm still saying my prayers for you & your little one! Sounds like you have got a good doctor! Sometimes these days that's a rare thing to find. I hope you get nothing but the best possible news Tuesday!

Thanks Dee Dee! I hope you get to yours too!
