Hey ladies, Congrats on all the success and life changing events. You all are awesome! And looking great. I went shopping myself, I got a few new great outfits for my new job that I start on Monday. Yes, another life change. My oldest starts Kindergarten this fall and I want her to go here at the town were we live. I was teaching in another town and so the change in jobs is what is best for our family. So went shopping and it was a lot of fun and love my new clothes. I have been doing a run/walk program with my neighbor every other day. We start at 5:30 a.m. Ugh! But, I can tell it is helping firm things up. Angel, you asked about the full feeling. Well, for me the full feeling is physically not being able to take another bite. Because if take one more bite it will HURT or come right back up. When you get enough restriction you will know when to stop eating. I hope that helps Well, I hope everyone has wonderful bandaversaries, have fun and enjoy life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy

Long, I hope you have a happy bandaversary! You have done awesome! I will have to plan something for mine on June 19th. I hardly ever get to do something just for fun. With 2 small children and work it is hard to get away. I'll think of something. Lucy

Hey ladies, Thought I would check in and give an update. Well what a time to jump in :wub:. Sorry Apples, I really have no advice for you on that subject. I seem to be fine, my problem area is my tummy, ughh! I am doing great also. I am down to 180 and feeling great. I am in a size 14 and loving it. I had another fill not long ago and pretty tight so I know more weight is coming off. Especially since I have been very consistent in my exercise. I do a run/walk with one of my neighbors and by body is really tighting up. So yes things are going good. I'm glad everyone is doing so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy

Hey ladies, I have been MIA lately. Busy with work, pampered chef, kids and birthday parties. Not to mention I have been sick for what seems like a month. I have now developed a sinus infection. I went to the Dr today to get a fill and when I got back there she noticed that I was stopped up and informed me that a lot of people with major sinus drainage do not tolerate a fill well at all. I really wanted a fill and they would have done it but really advised against it, so I decided to wait. I was bummed out. But I must admit that I do have some MAJOR sinus drainage going on right now. She said that the mucus could plug up my stoma. And by the looks of what has been coming out of my nose, I could see that happining....gross I know. I have not lost weight lately, but I have been eating some junk that I should not be eating. I don't know when I can get off of work again to go for another fill. Therefore, I need to focus on my eating habits and concentrate on solid protiens and other good choices, instead of junk (this is me slapping my hand right now)! Feel free to slap my other hand :thumbup: Anyway, I hope everyone is well and enjoying life. Lucy

Hey everyone, Just checking in. I've had the worst sore throat I've ever had in my life. Finally getting over it. We had my daughter's birthday party the other day she turned 5, sniff sniff. Anyway, I ate way to much cake and ice cream, not looking forward to my weigh in day tomorrow. Long, grandma is turning 100? That is awesome....have a great time! love you all, lucy

Hey everyone, way to much for me to try to reply to everyone. But just let me say WOW!! Everyone is doing great! There is so much happiness and good vibes coming out of this board. You have no idea how happy I am for everyone's success. Isn't great to be loving life again? It is just wonderful. Love you all, Lucy

Hey Strike, good luck with your plan! I hope you can snap out of it and get on track with where you want to be. lucy

Apples, all I can think of is the poor parents and rest of the family, how aweful. It just has to be so hard to understand, so much pain. My heart is breaking for them. Allie, have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Allie dear, I'm so sorry about your dear friend. That poor family, I know they are in so much pain. That is so sad, so young and young kids. It's just heart breaking. My condolences. Long, hey way to go on the pants. I bet you look HOT! Good luck with the unfill, hope all goes well. VZ, I love "What Not To Wear" I love the clothes they come up with, but omg they are so expensive. And somkey eye, whoo hoo! Hey Angel, I agree, the activites at your meeting did sound a little lame for grown-ups. Hope you had fun, ha ha. Good luck with the fills. Hunzie!! Way to go, 10 pounds that are gone forever!! Just be patient with your restriction, it took me up to 3 fills before I felt restriction and I take it slow and easy and I have never had any problems, knock on wood. I've been a little sick, dang germy school kids!! Tommorw is my weigh in but I'm not feeling good about it. lucy

Hey Allie, glad you are having so much fun!! Well, I don't think I have ever been "stuck" I have had to bring stuff back up, but only by bending over. Never anything to forceful. It sounds like I really don't won't to be stuck and have been very lucky so far. Hey, I'm doing great with my pampered chef. My first month I made $610.00, that is extra money for us!! I had a party the other night and the host sold $1,153.00 so April is lookin really good so far. I am happy with it, I have a party Tuesday night, then 4 more booked for April. I am really enjoying it. lucy

So Apples, when something is stuck is it a tight terrible pain in your upper chest and throat? Will it not come back up when you bend over the trash can or toliet? I have had that pain, but it will pop back out when I bend over. Is that what being stuck is? I'm not sure. Lucy

Helllooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Where is everyone at? Hey Apples, hope you had a good time. lucy

Hunzi, that great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you are doing so good, you are going to be such a success. I'm very happy for you :-) lucy

Oh Allie, that is great. I am so happy for you! I can feel how happy you are throuh your post. That is awesome. I really want to be addicted to exercise. That is something I need to work on. I have been wearing some heels also. I'm short, 5'4", so I need all the help I can get! I have been super busy with my pampered chef. I had a great party last night, but did not get in the bed until nearly 11:00, then back up this morning for my regular job :thumbdown: I'm really tired. But I have my coffee :seeya: Well, I hope everyone has a good day. lucy

Thanks Long, I'm going to check it out. :thumbup: Lucy

Oh gosh Strike, I don't envy you at all, I HATE painting. Hope you get done soon. Long, tell me what you like about the bra. I really need some new ones. Yesterday I ordered me a couple of pair of Spanx body shapers off of the Q. lucy

Hey Teach! Way to go Congrats!!! I know that feels great. Long, I saw all your bad weather on the news. Boy!! You all have been hit hard and fast, stay safe. lucy

Ha Ha girls, I did the same thing one night at Sam's Club. Me and my girls ate the samples. DH does not eat the samples so he was hungry by the time we left. Long, have a good day at work. If your not used to it, you will probably be tired at the end of the day.....good luck. Lucy

Oh Allie, so sorry you had a rough day. I know those days are hard and emotionally draining. When I'm down, all I want to do is comfort eat and yes chocolate does make me feel better for a short time :tt1: lucy

Hey girls, just checking in. Sorry to here about filling trouble. I hope it works out well for both of you, army and vz. But hey, way to go on the weight loss. I am enjoying my spring break. But I do find that by staying around the house, I want to snack. I would be better off at work!! I am def going to find me a job for this summer so that I stay busy. Have a good night everyone :huh2: lucy

Hey thanks Hunzi. Sorry about the bug, that really stinks! Hey Brown Bear....here is what I do. I weigh in once a week. Thursday is my day for some reason. Anyway, I write down my wight on a calandar in the bathroom right after I weigh. This works so well for me and it will give me a weightloss diary. Hey Allie and anyone who is interested...I finally was able to get my pampered chef website it is: www.pamperedchef.biz/lucywilliams I sure hope it is okay to post that here:blush: Lucy

Hey Hunzi, congrats on the rebanding and the Mary Kay, way to go!! I wish the best with the surgery, I bet you are excited. So what is your secret to your success with MK? I am selling Pampered Chef and I love it! Do you have any tips from one consultant to another? Lucy

Hey ladies, I've read some of those negative threads before, just to see what was going on. I feel bad for a lot of them, but there is a lot of bitterness there also. Yesterday we had teacher in-service and the elementary and high school had lunch together. There were two elementary teachers that came up to me and wanted to know what kind of "diet" I have been on. I laughed and told them it was the "not eat very much diet". Then told them I had the lap-band. One of them told me that she had went to a seminare and had been thinking about. I told her she could come and talk to me anytime and I would tell her anything she wanted to know. I feels good to be able to help people. Then I was outside yesterday and saw my neighbors mother, whom I don't see very often. Anyway she commented that I had lost a lot of weight so I told her about 50 pounds. People can really notice at this point. I stopped in town yesterday and got a pedicure and two new pair of flip flops they are so cute! I also went into a clothing store and found myself at a crossroads. When you walk in there is plus size on one side and regular on the other. Of course I feel like I am forbidden to go on the regular side. I stood there for a moment and took the safe route and went to the plus side. I picked out a couple of size 16 pants and 14-16 tops, they looked really good btw. Maybe someday soon I will have the courage to go on the regular side. I still see myself as huge and feel like people would be thinking "Oh my, she does not belong on this side of the store". I know it's all in my head!!!! Today is my dad's bday. Going to fix him meatlaof, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls and cake. That is what he requested :smile: Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hey long we must have posted at the same time. Way to go on the size 10's. That is like my 16's I wore today, they were quite stretchy but hey....the tag still said 16 and that has not happened in about 7 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
