love china

go look on e-bay they had some scales that went up to 500lbs i think and they were alot cheaper than 80-100. i to am glad to have found others lets keep this thing going.

What a relief! I am so glad to hear that there are others out there like me. I thought I may be the record holder for biggest person to get banded! LOL Thanks to the band, this is the first year since Biggest Loser started that there was actually someone bigger than me on that show. BTW I have lost (I think, cuz I can't weigh myself everyday) around 60 pounds since I started my journey. I am still trying to find my way "nutritionally". Thanks for the replies and if anyone would like to email me directly, my email address is Latinred71@yahoo.com. Take care, I wish you many blessings and much success!

hello im china i use to weigh in the 4s to maybe we can chat. but there is a lady on here named big becky in texas i think she lost like 321lbs i think in like less than 2yrs i think go look under the 200+ weighloss sections if i find her address i will send it to ya

im back everybody trip was nice except i got really sunburned. but, other than that i had a nice time met alot of people. and for the first time in yrs i wore a swim suit and without a shirt covering it and felt ok. and the dresses i wore i felt sexy and i havent felt that in a minute. and got alot of action. so now im home and back on track.

well 3more days till i leave im sure gonna miss you all. my kid broke my laptop so i wont be taking it with maybe they have computers on the ship or something.

I'm sorry to hear you've been sick, LilMissDiva. Rest up and make sure you keep hydrated.

My mom is now home from the hospital. Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

I got a fill on Thursday so I'm now at 7.8cc in my 10cc band. It feels pretty good. I'm not super tight (I've never even PB'd in the entire 8 months I've been banded) but the restriction feels pretty good right now. I got back on plan today and logged every bite. I weighed 189 exactly this morning. YAY! I even went down a point on my daily allotment so now I'm at 24 points.

Congrats on the 3lb loss China!!

Thanks Melly! Yeah, you're right I really need to make sure I'm getting my fluids. I'm finding I forget while I'm sick. :sad:

josie, have a great trip! Don't stress, but life is back to normal when you come back!

Hey everyone, quick check in. I did my points yesterday since I'm back to eating normally. I weighed in last night and I'm down 2 Lbs since my last weight in ! yeppee! I know I've not been eating good for sure. I haven't worked out in almost 2 weeks and to lose 2 lbs in one week that means you aren't eating much.

Ok, hope everyone is staying on track! Much success to all my WW Bandsters!! whoot!

first congradulations to kathy,trina,sue great job. now ms anniej you have done so well for your self please dont be so hard on your self. as we are in it for the long haul. some times its slow and im sure you were told that. maybe you should talk to your dr about giving you a little more of a fill. but, i think your doing fine remember it didnt come fast its not gonna leave really fast. i do now how it can be frustrating as i go throught it alot. but, ask your self this are you healthier this year than last year yes you are. did you drop good hell ya so give it time we stall some times for a minute or two. hang in there it will get better. you have come along way and baby we got more work to do see you at the finish line sweetie.

Ok guys and gals, I need to vent some. For the past two months I've hovered inside the same darn 10 lb range. In August I got a fill of .25cc (didn't feel much difference) but kept on track. Went camping did great and went to 239 lbs. Went to weigh in at the doc's office and get another fill. 245 and .25cc of a fill (felt no difference and continued to be hungry between meals)

I gave it some time and I tell you this weekend all I had was food on my mind. I was HUNGRY. It seems pretty obvious that the last two fills weren't enough. My doc is trying to be conservative and take things slowly but I'm feeling a bit frustrated at this point in time.

I have 6.25 in a 10cc band. I've done great with my diet and my Water intake. I'm getting my supplements and my Protein in with no problem at all. I am making sure the food I eat between meals is very high in protein and healthy filling stuff.

I guess I'm just looking for some feedback and words of wisdom.

Thanks for letting me vent

hey you im happy your schedual is keeping you busy but, bumded it has you off on the excerise it will work it self out give it time. well i lost 3lbs some how go figure. i feel happy bout that i made it to my nini goal which was to be able to get on my dr's scale. well he got a new one and this one goes up to 375. but the good news is when i got on it, it was able to record my weight and i was 3lbs lighter from da wlc scale.

No problem China, I totally understand. Well the good thing about this school years schedule, I have no time to get bored and snack. The bad thing, I am having a hard time finding time to excercise. Yesterday, I did manage a 30 minute walk. I hope all is well with everyone. Laurel
