I would love to get together!!! We definetly need to set a day and time. Our schedule is pretty open, we will be staying with friends and pretty much just going to the beach, busch gardens and stuff like that. I can hardly wait to meet you in person!!!!!!:frown:

Hey there.. I was a self pay and only had to see a nutritionist one time a cardiologist one time and a physcologist one time. I went to a seminar on May 12th 2008 and was banded on June 20,2008. So really quickly! But even if I had to go through flaming hoops of fire I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!! Best thing I have ever ever ever done for myself!

Hey there! Congrats on your banding date! I was banded June 20,2008. I wanted to let you know that, it was the best thing I have EVER done for myself! I have lost 135 pounds in that time. It seems just yesterday I was waiting to be banded like you and now here i am almost a year later looking like an entirely different person! Good luck on your journey and if you need an tips or help don't hesitate to contact me!

Hey Jennifer! I will be going to Williamsburg, Va July 3-9 then 10-12 bedford, va. I would love to see you! I am not sure where richmond is but I hope it's close! I am also doing seminars and love it! You are lucky to have the summer off! I am super jealous :welldone2:

You are doing sooo awesome!!! I am 5'10" so I am pretty tall. I most likely can get to a size 8 but that's probably the smallest I could get without looking ill. I am really excited about getting the surgery and most likely will get it done in the winter. I hope you keeping letting me know how you are doing!

LOL.. My insurance will not cover it. I was a self pay on the lapband and looks like the plastic surgery is going to cost about what my band did around $19,000. But hey under $40,000 and I get a whole new lease on life! My hubby says i look great now but I have a little kanga pouch or hang over skin on my belly which i hate! My boobs still look good but I want them to look better! I will have it all done at one time and it looks like I will be out of work for about 3 weeks which is fine since I have a month saved up. We will see when I get it done though. My boss has been really understanding and compassionate about it. I was looking on my wii fit at how I have been losing and I realized I am losing as fast or close to as fast as I was in the beginning. My hubby says my metabolism has really sped up. But also I really don't eat very much at all. I am at about maybe a cup and a half of food for the entire day. I am never hungry. I feel terrific though and my hair has all grown back so I feel like I am doing great! And long you are smoking hot girl!

wow.. I am glad he is ok! Woo hoo on losing the pound Long! I feel so bad that you were on a plateau for so long! I freak about 1 week and the scale not moving! I have been excercizing alot lately so I think that has really helped me to keep moving. I was pretty excited to hit 170! I can hardly wait to see the scale say 169! It is frustrating though because being so close I keep weighing myself to see if I hit it and I go between 170-172 throughout the day. I hate that it fluctuates.. I usually am at my lowest weight for the day first thing in the morning. I am hoping to hit 169 by my bandiversary on the 20th. I have been losing 1/2-2 pounds a week here lately so I am hoping that continues. I have been consulting with plastic surgeons and can hardly wait to get it done!!! I have definetly decided on a lower body lift and a boob lift. My skin has tightened up quite a bit surprisingly. My tummy has really tightened up. I have alot of stretch marks from my pregnancies so that is why i need the lower body lift. I just want to walk around my house in nothing but a pair of heels and look smoking hot! :party: I feel pretty hot in clothes but naked not so much lol..

Good Monday Morning Junies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I went to the beach Saturday and Sunday with the family and had a great time. I also did some more shopping woo hoo! I am becoming a serious shopping addict! I love trying on clothes and shoes and jewelry.. It is so much more fun now! My oldest daughter graduates from high school on June 18th and we are having a little party for her on June 20th which is my bandiversary. We are going to Virginia for almost two weeks in the beginning of July to celebrate my bandiversary. I plan on doing all the stuff I couldn't do last year.. go on the roller coasters, kayaking in the ocean, hiking, just alot of really active fun stuff! I hope everyone is having a great Monday! XoXo

Hi everyone! Long how was the cruise???? I hope you had a blast! I went shopping yesterday and bought 3 dresses yes I said it dresses! Woo Hoo. Two of them are like the long spring dresses that you can't wear a bra with and I also bought a max studio beautiful black dressy short dress. I tried them all on (all three size 10 :smile: ) and showed my family and my hubby grabbed his chest and dropped to his knees saying lord have mercy.. lol.. it was sooo great his face was all red and everything.. that was the best compliment I have EVER gotten in my life! I feel so great girls I can't even begin to tell you. I had a neighbor mistake me for my teenage daughter two weekends ago! So last weekend we went to NY to see the yankees play and ended up staying in the city and of course we were awakened in the middle of the night by the bomb blast at the Starbucks right down the block! It was pretty scary! We headed home :smile: We did go to the Empire state building and times square and that was fun. I hope everyone is doing well and I miss seeing all of you on here. Have a great night!

you are doing so awesome! congrats on joining curves that is an awesome step! I love how they measure you and weigh you and then they can give you a print out of your progress! I have to admit I only go to curves now once a month for my sheet.. I go to the gym with my hubby now and do the elliptical which I am addicted to. I do love curves though! You are doing great with your weight loss! I am now looking at getting ps and I can hardly wait. I have decided on a lower body lift and a breast lift/possible implants. I am getting sooo excited. I am now wearing size 10 pants and L shirts. My boobs are still pretty large not as large as they used to be.. i went from a 44 dd to a 38 d. I hope you have a great weekend! xoxo

I eat up to 2 hours before my fill appt. This is just me because I figure that the food will have emptied out of my stomache by then. That way if my fill is super tight I wont struggle with the food in there..

Please add me.. I have lost 133 pounds in 11 months!

Lol.. you guys crack me up.. Jennifer and apples thank goodness you both are ok! It's so funny though.. Lol apples he is a bone man now.. :laugh: I swear I am going to end up with something broken, it's like being newlyweds again!! I am sure loving life. I have a feeling I am going to have to have some of my fill taken out. I am losing really fast still and I am not pb'ing but I'm really not eating. I got on the scale today and shockingly had lost another 2 pounds! Exciting but shocking. I think with being so active and really not eating I am in a really fast metabolism stage right now. As soon as I hit goal if I continue to lose I will get a little out. Have a great day junies!~ Let's find all those mia Junies!

Good Morning Junies! My anniversary date is June 20 and I am not sure what I will be doing to Celebrate but I sure will be doing something! I am hoping something not involved with food. I think something where I do something I wouldn't have before because of my weight. My hubby and I have been talking about it and haven't come up with anything solid yet. I looked to see if there was any marathon's taking place around here and nothing :purplebananna: I thought that would have been cool. I will find something , maybe climb a mountain!! I have found that lately I don't even think about food. I never order my own food anymore I just steal a couple bites from hubby. It's so weird to not focus on food anymore. I forget to eat all the time. I love not being hungry and not thinking what am i making for lunch, dinner etc. I am living!! I loving feeling my bones I know that's weird but feeling my hip bones and ribs is so friggin cool! I swear my hubby has turned into a bone man lol. I will have to post some new pics this weekend. I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Junies.. Jennifer... you look gorgeous! Congrats on the size 10's!! I did my first seminar the other day and it went great. They asked all the normal questions and everyone wanted to see my before pic.. I had them blown up to 8x10 ughh lol. It was fun and really really satisfying! Long- WELCOME HOME and Happy Belated Birthday!! I am so glad you had a good time! Congrats on not gaining any weight that is a huge accomplishment from being on a cruise~! I have been doing great.. My scale is still moving which amazes me. I have been really active here lately and seem to never stop moving. LOL.. I love all this energy I have. I was pretty excited I was gardening on saturday morning and one of my neighbors stopped and was freaking out, she thought I was my teen daughter and I have to say I was pretty excited. lol. My skin is holding up.. except on my tummy but I knew that would be saggy since I had alot of stretch marks from my two pregnancies.. I am really looking forward to plastic surgery. I am hoping to have it all done by my 40th birthday in February. I hope you all have a great day.. I am off to check my farm lol :laugh: xoxoxo
