CONGRATS, CINDY!! Knew you could do it! You are an inspiration!!! :Banane48: :eek::Banane42:

TX, I think it's a bit easier to just divide your total pounds lost by your start weight. For example your percentage: 98/400= .245 then move the decimal over two which is 24.5%. That's just easier for someone math challenged like me.

Oh, well, better than before the band when I was gaining instead of losing. I just put on a pair of summer capris from last year. They're swimming on me! Guess I shouldn't complain and just go shopping! 3 1/2 weeks left to go on this challenge. Gonna be tough to make my goal at this rate.

Giving up Diet Coke was the toughest for me. I was addicted! I used to drink up to 6 cans a day. I tried drinking a bit recently and it tasted too sweet to me. Besides I'm afraid of the gas from it. I can't believe how little I miss it.

Cindy, just 1 pound away from 100! You go, girl!! And TX is just 2 away. You guys are amazing!! :biggrin:

Wow Bandpal! I had pneumonia once. My daughter picked it up in school and gave it to the whole family. My son, then hubby, and finally me. None of us had to be hospitalized but we all felt awful and the cough took forever to clear. Your poor wife must have gotten a really bad case of it. Hope she gets better soon!

Don't know why. Oh well, maybe it will come off again and bring another one! I'm still going to wait before getting another fill.

What fabulous, amazing news Kendra!! WOOHOO, that's great!!!!!:party:Knew you would get better. Your doctors may be surprised but I'm not. Your positive energy was bound to kick those tumors to oblivion! I'm really glad that you're handling the chemo OK. Before you know it, the rest of those tumors will be long gone!

Kandiceb, If only I had your discipline. Congrats on an awesome job! I'm trying so hard just to get under 200. You've passed that mark with ease. Thanks for the inspiration. Time for me to crack down! :cursing:

Kendra, That's great news about the shrunken tumors! I really hope the other one is long gone. Please let us know what the doctor says on Tuesday. Hope the next round of chemo goes well. The fact that you're maintaining your weight loss is terrific. You need to eat well and keep your energy up. Glad that your doctor is freezing your fills. Wish mine gave free fills. It cost me $50 everytime I see him whether I get a fill or not. Keep getting better and better. Someday soon this will all be behind you and you can focus on kickin' the weight off instead!

Steph, if someone told me that having the band is cheating, I would find it hard to resist the urge not to pop them on the head. It's cheating to have major surgery and have a plastic donut put over our stomachs? It's cheating to feel like your guts are going to explode because you forgot to chew something to miniscule bits? What nerve! Did whomever tell you this need to lose weight? If so, give her/him the name of your surgeon so she could "cheat" too. If a thin person accused you of teaching, tell her where she could shove her ignorant opinion. :thumbdown:

Way to go, Sades!! I'll bet the pounds will start dropping off faster now. Can't wait to join you in Onederland! :thumbup:

Cindy, You look great!! I hold so much weight in my legs that I have to use a swimskirt that goes down to my knees. Hate being so short! I'm only 5'2'' and bathing suit shopping for me is right up there with chewing on glass!:party: You'll hit that 100 mark in no time now that you got a fill.

Thanks for the advice, Sades. I have an appt. at the doc on Friday and want to make a decision by then. If I don't lose anything by then, I'll fill. If I drop another pound, I'll put it off. I'm eating chicken piccatta now and having trouble getting it down and the chicken is very soft. I'm a bit afraid to go tighter.:party:

I was thinking about getting a fill but now I'm not sure. Maybe I should wait. I get so swollen and uncomfortable for a week after a fill. I lose a lot that week but then stall for 3 weeks after. I'm pretty tight with 7cc in a 10cc band but can still eat a decent amount of food. Don't think I'm at that elusive "sweet spot" yet. However, I get stuck too often and am afraid it will get worse with another fill. What do you think? Should I wait a bit and see if I'm still losing regularly before getting another fill? Or should I bite the bullet and go for a fast loss for a week and get into Onederland faster?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves my pets to distraction. Foofy, my heart goes out to you. I had to put my 15 yr old Lhasa down 10 yrs ago and I still miss her. She was my baby before I had babies. I have a 10 yr old Cocker Spaniel who I adore and she is starting to show signs of age. It's so hard saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Only other pet owners truly understand how we feel. I hope everyone else's pets will be alright. Keep us posted on the results of the tests.
