I will be more active on the forum once I complete school ~ thanks!

All is well, just finishing up course work to earn my BS degree two more weeks and I will officially be educated.

Just stopping by to say hello. I hope this message finds you well.

I was banded May 21, 2008 almost 2 years... I was very frustrated the first year but I worked myself out hard. Now I realize I had no restriction...

Too funny, I remember being 120 and feeling "fat"...I should have been kicked in the head! But as they say hind sight is always 20/20.

I am thankful to be on this journey, I really beat myself up with guilt and self hate. I had to get my head right before I could get my body right... only makes sense now.

I am ready to start phase two of my personal training which is to start training for a Triathlon, I want to be focused not so much on actual weight and numbers but fitness as a whole. I actually signed up today and have the first informal meeting on Saturday...I'm excited and nervous but I can do fear! LOL

Thank you for the compliment, its been 20 years since I felt "pretty"... those words do mean a lot.

Hi LaDawn,

I'm very well thank you. I'm working on getting to goal number #2 which is 140~ I weighed in and had another 1cc fill yesterday...167! I'm getting there and have no complaints... just realizing that I had zero restriction the first year and now I'm working to get to my sweet spot.

Your transformation is inspirational, keep posting those pics! Than kyou for sharing.

Thank you so much for the kind words.

Thank you and you are very right, I lurked as well I think a lot of us do in the beginning. I am just glad to be healthy once again. Looking better is just the bonus!

Telly,

All I can say is beautiful, thank you for sharing. It gives us all hope!

ok, I can see how the message got by you, lol. I did not see this either. I am struggling with the slow losers but I am zoned and ready and every day I try a little more. How many fills did it take to get to your " sweet spot" and what does that feel like? This Friday will be my second fill, I have a little restriction but not much...can't wait for some success! Thanks for responding as I rant!

Hi Sheila,

I just wanted to take a moment to say congrats on your weight loss, you look amazing !
