banded_for_life

This was size 18s!!!!...I am such an idiot sometimes! I can wear size 16s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kira, a fellow bandster, gave me some of her 16s yesterday and I thought that maybe I would be able to get into them in a couple of months. So I finally had a chance this morning to try them on and I got into every single pair!!!!! I can't remember the last time I was in a 16...maybe in in 8th grade!!! Omgosh...I am so excited and pumped! Thank you and a big hug to Kira!!! I will post a picture of the two of us together a little later.

Desi, take a deep breath...you are letting the scale run your life. If you miss your goal by a couple of days...don't sweat it...you didn't gain the weight overnight and you won't lose it overnight. You know you will get to your goal..just gonna take a little time. relaxxxxxxxx! :-)

Sounds yummy!

Best wishes!

Well, here is a picture from when I first starting my process back in Sept. and the picture of the kids and I was taken this morning.

While I was preggers with both my kids, I lost weight with both. Since I was considered to have borderline gestational diabetes, the dr gave me a diet to follow like I did have diabetes. It was just a real healhty diet with elivated amounts of lowfat dairy around 1500 calories a day.

Congratulations!

Keep doing an awesome job!

I got my fill today and will be on mushies for Christmas...which is ok with me. We are doing a non traditional Christmas dinner of enchiladas...I can make sure those are pretty mushed up.

Huggs Lisa, just keep on being strong...believe me...it does get easier with time.

Never had that happen before.

Well, got my 3rd fill today of 1 cc, putting me up to 5.4 cc...so far so good!

I stopped making resolutions long time ago, but I do want to wish all of the best in meeting your goals and dreams for '06!

Thank you Kira...You are looking fabulous yourself! And yes we did indeed get our workout that day...lol. :-) Here is a picture of me in my new size 18 jeans!!!

Dang...closed already.

lol...thanks Poodles!

I don't see why not...just take it easy and take a stomach pillow with you as well as something comfy to sit on.

Everybody....I have to correct a big mistake I made in this thread....I an into 18s!!! Not 16s...not yet. I am sorry for the mistake on my part. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part. Sorry I didnt' catch my mistake sooner. huggs to all for all the support and good wishes. :-(

Lord o mercy I had the worse PB tonight...I mean I had the fist in my chest, sliming like crazy and then even throwing up a little...it lasted for about 20 mins and I thought it was never going to end!!! Gotta watch that damn broccoli.

Congratulations!!!

I agree with Tricia, I hang right around that 900 to 1000 calorie average. I also do Southbeach. Once I got off the sweets and stayed within my calorie range for a week with a ratio made up of 30% fat, between 20 to 30% carbs and the rest I made up in protein, I lost 3 pounds.

Congrats again, Jonathan!

Happy Birthday!!

Man, that is totally cool!!! *sigh*...now if Vin Diesel would just walk into my house...I promise to treat him just like any other man that I intend to eat all up!

Cute...cute...cute!!!
