WOW that is a major accomplishment :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!

Yeah those before and after pics are reall motivators. I hope you hear the good news from your doctors office soon on your approval. Until then "Live Like You Are Banded".

I thought obesity was considered a disability in itself. Oh well thank God for your family. Just remember the band is not going to fix all your problems by itself. It is a tool and you have to work with it. Being self pay, how are you going to pay for the fills? Find a doctor near you that does fills before you get that band. You don't want a band and then can't afford to go get the fills.

Find support groups, because you will still need to exercise and eat right. The motivation from support groups are great.

WOW Avilla go with it, you may have to go to semi mushies. I can do fluids in the morning and I will try a little something for luch and I may still be too tight then so I will eat something like oatmeal or trail mix. Then dinner I'll have some salad, jello, pudding or ground turkey. Drink lots of water and you will see that scale drop.

Good Luck it sounds like a plan. Soooo what did you do the weekend? How did it go?

Excuse me, I don't think so lazy, sloth, oh yeah those are words of inspiration and encouragement....

What is your goal?

We both have 14 pounds to get to a major goal. I have 14 to go to get to 100 pounds gone and you have 14 to lose to be at your half way mark. Did you see that? 14pounds away from being half way there, that means you are at the summit of the mountain and you are getting ready to go down the hill to reach your goal. You have come to far to be looking backwards.

You know how to lose this weight...where is your protein shake for breakfast, where are the handweights that you can be lifting in bed, watching tv, maybe at a sit down job on the phone. Come on, you have lost 63 pounds WTheck you go girl HALFWAY!!!!

Mini goal, this is not the time to be messing around. Get up and run in place, when you go to the bathroom run in place, where is your water? Did you drink 64 oz.

Go LittleBird get those liquids so when you take your next pic we all being say daggggg look how small she is now.

You will be one of those who lose 100 pounds in a year. JUST DO IT!! Drink water

Exercise

Low carb, low cal

Work with your band

Get your fills when you should

Stay encouraged

Oh wow it is now 7:30am prayers for you baby. You will be fine and it will be over in no time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

NO WHY WHAT!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH GO BAND GO LOSING GO BAND GO LOSING THAT DAM THING FITTTTTTT YEAHHHH YOU GO GIRL, WORK YOUR BOTTY OFFFFF!!!!!

Congraulations on your fill. 13 pounds is more then a pound a week so you are doing great. You are just turning into a little butterfly now aren't you. Beautiful Avilla!! It sounds like it's time for some pics so you can see the diffrence in inches.

Congratulations on the patch!!

Great Team Work...take it easy.

Thanks losing

WOOOOHOOOO YEAHHHH YOU GO GIRL YOU DID IT!!!

I am so glad you went to the step class. You are doing the dang thang. Up there kicking TED's but and what was that 10% gone. YEAHHHHH Keep it moving you will have that 60 gone like *Poof*

Thanks thick sista

I'm here and I'm happy it is Friday. I wish I could say all the stuff I want to.

Yeahhhhhh Thick sista you did it. I got the jello waiting for you. LOL

I am so sorry that happend you. I know the feeling all to well. We beat ourselves up enough. We call ourselves enough names but no matter how man times someone calls us fat whatever, it still hurts as if it was the first time. Sometimes you don't feel it until you get home by yourself and then my personally will just break down. It hurts and I am so sorry.

I had a driver calling me fat names yesterday also. Jerk Wipe

Relax girl don't faint or swoon. LOL Go ahead and gasp. *chckling* Give them a call with a smile on the other end of the phone.

There is not enough time for everything/.

My life is full of me and weigh loss. What did eat, did I move enough to burn some calories, what am I going to eat for my next meal, what am I going to eat tomorrow, do I need to go to the store

work

home

cleaning

stores

gas

help others

meetings

:faint:

Thank God

Good Job Bullwinkle, keep it going.

You go girl. LOL

You are silly.

You haven't gotten on a scale yet, you don't know what it says. There is nothing wrong with a few globs of cookie dough. You have been doing a great job. Don't let this one day mess up your efforts. Today is a new day girl smile and look at what is ahead......a leaner you.

Take all that you learned from the PT and burn those cookies off. Cardio, running up and down the stairs at home, weight resistance to build some muscle to burn those cookes. Salad today, protein shakes, lots of water to take in less calories for the cookies that you had.

It is ok move forward, no one is perfect. If you are going to enjoy a treat enjoy it. Volunteering is a wonderful thing so don't stop.
