    Yes I exercise. I can't believe I am saying that seeing how exercise was pretty much a four letter word for me prior to my surgery. I am not an exercise fanatic, but i do try to do it at least 3-4 times a week. I am a big fan of Leslie Sansone. I have about 10 of her videos. She does the Walk Away the Pounds series. You pretty much do walking and variations of walking in your own home. When i first started I could not do her 1 mile (15 minutes) video without being out of breath. I was that out of shape. When I was doing my "hardcore" routine (lol), I would do her 5 mile (about an hour) about 4-5 times a week. Now I try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise (which is two miles) 3-4 times a week. The point is find something you like and do it at least 3-4 times a week. What works for me is the Leslsi sansone videos becasue you will get a good workout, but it is not like a bootcamp "work you til you fall out" thing.

    Theresa already loves Timothy :)

    Awwwwww. How absolutley adorable. You need to enlarge this pic, frame it, and put it in the baby's room. Again, how cute.
  9. Thank you for the pic comment. I don't think my face has ever been called sleek before. That made me grin like the Cheshire cat. I smile a lot more in pics now than I have ever done in my life. The reason that I was not smiling that day was because I had just come in out of the Florida summer heat. That day was so bloody blazin' hot that I think my teeth would have melted if I managed to smile.

  10. Thanks for the wonderful pic comment. Yes, they are collarbones. I woke up one day and was like, "When did I get these? Did the collarbone fairy stop by?" I was soooo excited. You will ge them too. Then you will find yourself frequently absentmindeldy touching them in fascination. Well that is what I *heard* anyway. ::Coughs and looks away innocently::

    Congrats on finally getting banded!! You will be absolutely surprised at how fast you will start losing pounds. I am not going to lie...you are entering what I call the "hell foods phase". The liquid diet thing was the hardest for me, but you will make it through. You'll be at your goal before you know it. Feel free to message/email me if you need to. I love making new band buddies. Good luck. You'll do great.

    Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!

    Me! :: Does the Price is Right contestant bounce-squeal:: The thing is that I seriously just realized I was able to respond to this post. I was so focused on the fact that I have about 40lbs to got to meet my tentative goal, that it escaped me that I've lost abouot 105lb. That shows that even after two years of being banded, I'm focused on how overweight I still am instead of how much weight I've managed to lose. But I'm slooowly, getting out of my forever-fattie mindset. Although, I've lost a lot of weight this is all surreal to me. I started at a size 26/28. I am now in a size 18. Each time I pull on a pair of jeans, I still get this moment of brief panic that they will reach my hips and won't go any higher. But they do..every time. And I want to bounce up and down...okay I DO bounce up and down...everytime they fit... ...Not to mention, I hear the "Eye of the Tiger" in my head. Sometimes. okay..most times. I remember my little weight loss ticker being at -15lbs...while it seemed like everyone in the known universe had lost over 80 lbs. I thought I'd never be able to reply to this post. But here I am, 105 lbs down. Unbelievable. If I, Miss World's Slowest Loser, can accomplish this much, anyone can. Thank you guys for every single bit of inspiration that you have provided on this site. Congrats to everyone on their scale and NSVs. For all of you thinking you will never post here...you will.

    :: Catcalls and whistles:: You look FABULOUS!!! Woman, you need an "S" on your chest that stands for "Superbander." Today has not been a great day for me, so i came to the site to look at pics for inspiration. Thanks for being just the inspiration I needed. Did you have any kind of plastic surgery? Keep up the EXCELLENT work!!
