Ok I'm in!! I'm 208, I have wanted to get under 200 for months!! Lets see if this will kick my butt into gear and actually get me there. Starting : 208 Goal: 197

Here is me! I have a feeling I will be a lot skinner looking if I am able to get to 165, with my body shape and height. I put in 100 for the weight to see what they said and it looked like a normal healthy weight girl, and I KNOW I wouldn't be normal looking if I was at 100, lol. I have a swim suit that looks a lot like this one, so I like that I can visualize it really well!

1. age at banding - 18 2. if they have had gall bladder surgery - no 3. tips for avoiding reflux - I have only now gotten since having my band a little too tight. I had the band for over a year and only started getting reflux after my most recent fill in April. I know I was a little too tight, now, I'm not as tight but I will randomly get it once in a while at night.

Ooo, maybe this means I will get to join you next time!! WooHoo! Sorry to hear that Tricia, hope everythings ok.

Oh yeah, I see the stomach difference! And the pics aren't very big, but your face looks slimmer. Keep up the great work Amy! And I am so excited for you that you will be banded soon!!

Congrats Amy!!! It amazes me how well you are doing and how dedicated you are to this journey before even being banded! You motivate me with your great attitude!!

Not only did I go to the gym last night, I handed in my application! So hopefully I will start working there at the front desk. I plan on going in before my shift and getting cardio in, change, work my shift, then change and do some more working out. And if I get any overnight shifts I can pretty much work out during my shift b/c it is usually empty and you just need to get a few things done before all you have to do is sit and be bored, but I'd be on the bike or eliptical! Haha, lets hope I actually get the job now. Oh, I also plan on going over there tonight also, I love having the 24 hours open option, the gym is huge and empty and I can go on anything I want and watch whatever I want with no one there to bother me!

riding is so great feeling! And wants kind of strange , when I first got on there it reminded me of my childhood in some ways, but not in others. Back then you rode to get you places, the pool or a friends house, you don't really take time to enjoy the freedom feeling and how great it actually feels to be out in nature like that and not in a car with the ac on and listening to the radio.

Telly is a true inspiration to many of us here. She is my dear friend and has given me such awesome motivation. I bought a bike b/c of Telly, now I just need to get on it more I can't wait for her to see this thread!

I am so happy you found this site Donna! I remember the first day I found this site after being banded over a year. I finally felt like I found people who knew how I felt. I've come to love this place, as I'm sure you will too. Good luck with the soup diet, I want to go out to the store tonight and get the veggies to make the soup. Not sure if I'll do the whole diet or just make the soup to snack on.

Oh we will meet. Telly and I already have planned we will be at goal and on the beach in our swimsuits, I know you'll be there too and we will be three hot women! And by that time, I'll be 21 and we can have more fun anyways! Hehehe, give eachother big hugs for me!

Hahaha.....yeah, I'll just forget the fact that I'm suppose to be finding a job, unpacking and getting the house straitened up, and applying and getting my whole school situation cleared up....I'll go buy my ticket now. LOL, I wish Tricia!

I WANT TO COME, WAHHH!:angry Not fair my two favorite people meeting and I don't get to be there!

The day Star announced her leaving on the show, it came as a suprise to everyone, she wasn't suppose to say it on air until later and they were going to allow her to mention what she planned on doing next and what not, to let her leave with dignity. But becaue of the way she handled it, she was gone the next day. She had said she would be staying until mid-late July when she announced she was leaving. I'm actually going to start watching it...I wasn't a regular before now. But I do like Rosie and will love seeing how she will act on this show. I'd love to see Gayle on there also, she's great when she does things on Oprahs show for her.

WooHoo, glad I found our July home! I will be checking in every Wednesday, promise! Funny, I think you should put this link in the June thread. **Waves at all her cellow club members** I love you all!

Lol...I just wanted to add I love your new titles in your siggy. "Conductor of the Soup Train" Hahaha...

No change here...I did it so you wouldn't have to work so hard P'nut Hahaha, its funny how everyone is backing off the challenge for next month, I had decided to not do July either. I have just been so busy this month and I want to start enjoying summer and working hard on my body. I joined the gym and plan on making use of it to the fullest. And like Telly and other have said, this place can be a little addictive and I know I could be burning more calories by being outside and active rather than typing. But I will be checking in and weighing in for Wednesdays. I LOVE this club and this site, just need to get more active.

I can't help much, the accident I was in was when I was 9. The guy hit us after running a stop sign. I had multiple MRI's, had to go to physical therapy for a couple of years, and think the pain and injury had a lot to do with my rapid weight gain during those years. My lower back and neck still hurt on occasion, but have really gotten better with my weight loss. I know we had to go through a lawyer and it took a couple years at least to get the settlement. My mom received $20,000 for her, she had severe shoulder problems that has needed multiple surgeries and I received $18,000 that was put into a CD until I turned 18. I do not know any other specifics or what the lawyer made on the whole deal.

Wow, that sucks, it's hard when you are here where you feel safe and around friends, but then have to get weirded out because of someones actions. I haven't got any PM's like that either, thank goodness, that is too creepy for me.

WOW, where is that place, I wanna go there on my honeymoon!!! My boyfriend walked in as I was watching the slideshow and I had to explain what was going on, lol. I was laughing at loud.

Ok, does moving two queen bedroom sets, leather couch, loveseat, tv stands, and boxes count as working out? Cause I'm feeling sore.

Well, awhile back when talking about where I wanted to be and how I wanted to look for my someday wedding with my dear boyfriend. He set the deal he would be my ring once I hit my goal. That way I'd have my dream body to go with my dream ring, and wedding day. Lol...not really sure if this will happen, but it helps motivate me when I think about a wedding dress and what not. I want to look amazing on my wedding day and I plan on it. Another reward is having my boobs done once I hit goal. I want the whole shabang, but have agreed it would be better to hold off on the other lifts after I'm done having babies. But I want perky nice boobs while I'm still in my twenties, so I will be getting those done.

I want to come!!!! Wish I had time, but with moving and then school starting in Aug...I really dont think I have any free time for a fun trip :-(

I had a last supper, but it was probably a day or two before surgery. My doctor didn't require a pre-op diet, just the usual not eating before surgery rules. I had little to no pain at all.

I cant sleep!!! We are suppose to be leaving our apartment tomorrow with our last load of things, but this place is a mess, so much to pack still and clean and I just dont want to do it!! So I'm taking a little break and checking out my LBT. Checks the time...ugh its 4:15am here!
