Momto1plus1

Thanks Bandpal. I think the biggest thing is that our life is not centered on food anymore. Yes, we still go out to eat, but now we get an appetizer rather than a meal. The two of us plus our 9 year old share it and there are leftovers to take home. :scared2: We are spending a whole lot less. I wish I could say we exercised, but we don't. Our oldest son who just turned 23 also had the surgery. He looks so good and we are so proud of him. Our soon to be 10 year gets embarrressed when we have a PB moment, which seems to happened to us both at the same time. LOL I know he is proud of us. The funniest thing is that I have friends who have never known me as a fat woman. They only know me as that thinner woman. Boy, does that feel good.

Foofy I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I'll be praying for you and your family. Fifty pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I would be thrilled to death. Maybe a fill is in order to get your weightloss going again when you are ready. My last one was in Dec and it helped me to take off the last 30 lbs.

Shalee,and Shortgal!! Come join us in the challenge. I realized last night that I have lost 30 lbs since before Christmas. I have a really tight fill right now, and boy has it done the trick. As I've heard before, "I'm riding this baby until the wheels come off. " LOL

Okay Bandpal I got to tell you I was a bit worried there for a second. When I think of the Promise Land it, isn't the perfect weight. LOL I was afraid you knew something I didn't. LOL Congrats on reaching your goal. I'm right behind you. Promised Land here I come.!!! I know exactly what you mean about the unfill. I feel the same way.

You know it's amazing how much weight we have all lost. I'm so proud of all of us. We have come so far!!

Well, unless I have some overnight miracle I won't hit my goal. That's okay. I'm going to make it on the next one. :tongue_smilie: I'll go ahead and start the next challenge. The first day of summer is June 21. So we can do something along those lines.

Are you needing a fill. I tell you my last fill was in December. It was exactly what I needed. I'm a little tight but it has helped.

I'm 4 pounds away and I'm just not sure that I will make this one. That's okay though. I will make it on the next challenge.

Thank you! You know my DH--Charlie is the thinnest that I remember him. He had his surgery on Nov 14, 2007 and I want to say he's about 230 now. Charlie is 6'4" and weighed right at 400 lbs before. He was at a business conference recently and had someone tell him that the rumor at the conference was that he had cancer. :confused: He doesn't look like himself anymore. Of course to me he looks like that same man I married almost 26 years ago.

Bandpal!! I'm so excited for you!! A normal BMI is my goal. I have 4 more pounds. Congratulations!! What does your wife have to say about all of the changes you have made?

Thanks Firebolt!! You look great too. Isn't it amazing?? Hey I noticed your surgeon is in Miamisburg, do you live there?? I have a girlfriend who lives there. We were there at Christmas.

Thanks guys!! You know I have days when I try to eat to much and of course I PB. I find it is in the evenings that I have this problem. It's an ever going process. We did't get fat, eating right so we have to learn. I never realize how little I actually eat until I'm out with friends. The thing I wonder is what do you do when you get to your goal. I really am scared to have fluid removed. I'm afraid I'll gain weight. I would be in trouble if I did that. I have gotten rid of all my old clothes. If it's even a little lose I give it away.

Thanks Cindy. Do you think you need a fill? My last fill was exactly what I needed. It has really helped. I have lost about 17 lbs since that fill. I just want to see that normal BMI

Wow!!! 116lbs, you should be so proud of yourself. You know I think we all eat things that we shouldn't. I swear, this past week I ate terribly. One day, I didn't have one thing that could remotely be considered good for me. I think the whole point is to learn from your mistakes. Congratulations!! You are doing fantastic.

LOL I have about 11 pounds to lose and I will be done. You know if I never lost another pound I would be happy about where I am. I'm in a 10/12 which just thrills me to death. Wendy

This breaks my heart! Kendra you will be missed!! Rest in peace!!
