You can also try putting on ankle weights on the day of your official weigh in for insurance requirements.

I'm down to about 18 lbs until I reach goal. I would like to reach goal weight before my 2nd bandiversary on July 8th. I'm in!

Good luck!

I just bought a copy for $50. It's in .avi format, so you have to watch it from your computer unless your dvd player is fancy and can read .avi format. PM me if you want more info to get your copy.

Congratulations!

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

Congratulations on getting approval. You are on your way. Good luck.

Just checking in. I had a tiny fill this morning and I'm down another 2 lbs, so 20 to go til goal. My doctor asked me not to lose anymore weight, but I feel horrible and fat, so I will continue until I feel happy with my weight and comfortable in my own body.

I'm down 2 lbs. 8 to go.

Congratulations!

I have the same problem area. My lower part is shrinking, but the upper belly isn't going away.

I agree. I'm guilty of it as well.

Congratulations!

I have been watching this show since season one and it gets better and better. I'm glad they're at the one hour format for this season. A half-hour just wasn't enough. Ruby is so inspirational.

Congratulations!

I would like to get down to 130 lbs. I haven't told my surgeon or anyone else about this either. My surgeon's goal for me is 148 lbs, which is 3 lbs away from where I am at now, and I'm still fat. He has already marked me as a success story, but I don't feel successful because I have not reached goal yet. When I reach my goal, maybe I will feel successful.

I have bipolar disorder with major depression and adhd. I am only taking meds for the bipolar disorder. I refuse to take medication that will cause any weight gain, so therefore no meds for the depression. I am not taking anything for the adhd because the medication that was recommended for me causes serious liver damage. I am as stable as I can be considering I no longer have access to marijuana, which really helps me with my mood swings. It was a very hard adjustment after getting banded because of all of the throwing up and other nonsense associated with just being banded. I'm ok now as far as band stabilization. I go for another fill in ten days and I'm almost two years post op.

Congratulations!

I'm in for 10 lbs by Mother's Day. I'm so close to goal, it will be a challenge.
