Congratulations!!!! I noticed your new picture!! Wow you are looking fantastic!!!

Congratulations!!!! I'm going back to school to get my teaching certification. My classes begin May 12 too!! New bodies/new careers. :blushing:

Debbie, Don't be hard on yourself. Get rid of the junk in your house. You don't need it and neither does anyone else. Then go get a fill. I started with 4cc in my 10 cc band. I wasn't any where near restriction until I hit 7cc. I can tell you that my last fill(3rd) really did the trick. I'm not losing fast, but I am losing. I figure as long as the numbers are going down, that is a good thing. I've had a difficult time exercising, due to knee issues. I have made changes though. I park further away from the door and take the long way on all of my errands. Little changes make a big difference.

Hey Molly!!! Don't know if you remember me but I use to post on Dottie's. I saw your name and picture and am thinking that is where I know you from. Anyway welcome!!!

Linda I think that all of us here understand completely where you are at. The surgery was just on your stomach, not on your head. Every time I have a PB, I just consider it part of my learning curve. I'm getting there one baby step at a time.

Thought that I would start the week two thread. I was down 2.4 this week. Name............Start.............Current...............Goal.............To Go Momto1plus1....223...............220.26.....................210..........10.6

I feel your pain. When it's "that time of the month" I retain water. It just drives me crazy. I wake up feeling swollen. The scale refuses to move in the direction I want.

Way to go girl!!! You look fantastic. I'm so proud of you!!

I was happy with this. Well, I would have preferred to lose,but it's that time of the month.

In the past we have always started a new thread, but Trixie had posted asking if we would just update our old thread. I hadn't read her post so I starte the week 2 thread. It really doesn't make any difference to me. I don't mind starting a new thread each week, but it may be easier to just update the original post.

Kendra, Dealing with doctor's and insurance absolutely drives me crazy. I'm sure everything will get worked out. Big hugs girl!!!

Kendra, I want to let you know that I will be praying for you. I'm sorry that I hadn't posted sooner. I really had read this thread until today. Big hugs girl!!!!

I have had hairloss. I know that every time I have surgery I have this problem. I'm sure that my protein level hasn't always been what it should be. I'm really working hard to make sure that I get enough protein now. Maybe take a second look at your protein level.

Wow!!!! You all look fantastic!!!! I'll have to look back and see if I can find some before pictures.

Well, tomorrow is the first day of spring. I don't know about you all but I'm in a smaller size and very happy. I didn't meet my goal but I'm still thrilled. Can't wait for our next challenge!!!!

Way to go Cindy!!!

Way to go Krisitin!!!!!! Doesn't it feel good to get those smaller sizes on??? :cheers2:

Trixie, I don't care which one we use, May Day or Cinco De Mayo. My weigh in day is Wednesday, but it's no big deal one way or other. I can post my post my results any day. Thanks for doing this. :thumbup:

I had my surgery 4 months ago today!!! I have gone from 269.2 to 223!! I was wearing a snug 20 and now am in some 16's!! Last week my BP was 100/70 at the Dr.'s office!!! I feel fantastic!!!!

I love the idea of a May Day or maybe Cinco De Mayo weightloss challege. The Spring Challenge ends tomorrow, and I'm ready for a new one. :thumbup: Trixie will you make seperate post just for the new challenge???? Thanks!!!!
