  1. Ok, the attached pictures wil give better view of where I am now (179).... and where I have been (240)!!!! It's amazing to see your body transform like this....:wink2: Good luck to everyone!
  2. Having the surgery was the best thing I have done for myself! Chrissy (my lap band) has helped to become healthier, self-confident and excited about life..... Good luck to everyone as you meet your inner person!!! The first picture I weighed between 230-240 and the second picture, which is current, I am weighing 182! I should take a picture with the same shirt... wow it will probably swallow me.... LOL

    Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010

    I have really enjoyed this challenge. I did not meet my goal of 180 (missed it by 5 lbs) but I did lose 12 lbs in about 8 weeks. I am pleased with the weightloss and look forward to the next challenge....Good luck!!!
  9. Hey, it has been a long time.... I'm doing well. How are things with you???

  10. Teacher2010

    50 lbs.....

    Thank you!!! My current goal is 170 and now I'm 20 lbs away. It seems as though I'm losing 1 lb per week but I would like to increase that to 1.5-2 lbs. I barely eat anything now so I must need to increase my exercise routine. How much are you losing per week? But for now I will be happy with the progress I have made.....
  11. Teacher2010

    50 lbs.....

    I have just reached my 2nd goal of 190. Now, I'm 50 lbs lighter!!!! This feeling brings about such excitement. I am definitely looking forward to becoming healthier and smaller :w00t: in 2010. YEAH....Good luck to us all!!!!!!

    January 2010 Mile Challenge

    Hello, This is my first time doing the mile challenge. I hope I can accommplish my goal. My goal for January is 30 miles.... I will use my Wii Fit and treadmill to walk. Good luck to all. ~ 1 mile down and 29 to go
  13. Ok, my last thread was about the pains I was going through with my fill making my band too tight. Cause I was PBing, and Sliming, and throwing everything I ate back up. Anyway, I went in and got an unfill and now I have gained 4lbs. I only eat 1/4 - 1/2 of food with each meal--- so I'm not overdoing it. I just don't understand why have gained so much. The Dr. only removed .3 cc's and I don't need anything added back. I feel this may be good amount of Fluid for me but why am I gaining????
  14. a tummy tuck. I am proud to lose this belly fat but I can see that a tummy tuck may be in my future. To those who have lost belly fat, how have you handled it? Just curious....
  15. I am proud to say that I have lost those unwanted 4 lbs. YEAH!!! After being banded with Chrissy (my band's name) for 5 months I am actually at a good place. I am looking forward to 2010 & I hope the weight continues to drop! Good luck to us all.
  16. Hello, I was banded o 7/16 and so far I am down 45 lbs. I have had ups and downs with my fills. Currently, I am at a good place a.k.a. sweet spot. I am looking forward to losing an addiitonal 25 lbs in order to reach my goal of 170. Good luck to all!!!
  17. Hmarko- You may have a point. During my "episode" I lost 17 lbs (in 3 weeks) so it was quite dramatic. There definitely could have been a level of dehydration as I wasn't able to tolerate much. I feel as though I am at a good stage right now. I am sooo happy I had the unfill. I can actually eat dinner with my family and have a spoon of veggies, starch and a portion of Protein. I haven't been able to do that in ages. Hopefully over the next couple of days I will see a decrease now that I have increased the exercise routine. We will see???

    Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010

    I am really excited about this challenge. During the Christmas challenge I lost 9lbs and for this challenge I would like to lose 12. Losing an additional 12 lbs will be 60% of my excess weight---- gone!!! Ok, I have added myself to the speadsheet and it's time to get to work...NO EXCUSES FOR ME.

    Christmas Weightloss Challenge

    Not a good week for me. I had fluid removed from the band and it's that TOM. I am sad to say I gained 4 lbs.:thumbup:
  20. Hello All, Thanksgiving was great being around family and friends but I couldn't eat anything. I received my third fill on Tuesday and I can't even drink Water. Since Tuesday I have lost 6 lbs. Should I wait it out another week or do I need some of this Fluid out? I am so miserable.....:thumbup:

    Too tight and miserable...

    Well, my Dr. did remove approximately .4 cc's from the band leaving 6.1 cc's. I must say I do in fact feel a difference but I still eat very little. For months I have not been able to fix a plate of Protein, starch and veggies and enjoy the meal as a dinner. For me I take a few bites of something and then I'm full. Is this normal? I definitely can not eat 1 cup of food--- not even a 1/2. I think I may have past my sweeet spot without knowing what signs to look for. I now understand being tight is not the purpose of the band however, the bands purpose is to provide a level of food restriction in order to prevent overeating. I didn't understand it's purpose initially or should I say I was expecting tightness to be the primary goal. To be honest I may need more Fluid removed from the band in order to reach my sweet spot. I'm a bit confused. Any thoughts or suggestons????:biggrin:

    Too tight and miserable...

    Hmarko- I am glad you feel better! Initially my Dr. wanted me to stick it out as well but it has been 3 weeks & I can only eat 5 bites of food without PBing... Thank you for the encouraging words and I am looking forward to a little relief a.k.a. unfill (a small unfill) :thumbup:
  23. Teacher2010

    Too tight and miserable...

    I thought I could tough it out but not being able to eat anything along with the sliming, PBing and burping I can't take it any longer. I go in tomorrow for a small unfill. The coordinator at my Dr.'s office was upset that I took so long to call them and stressed the importance of listening to my body. I was so happy to see the weight dropping that I forgot about my health. I'm looking forward to feeling better...

    Christmas Weightloss Challenge

    I am sooo tight I can't eat anything. With that being said I lost 3 lbs this week. I have 3 more to go. I think I can, I think I can....
  25. Hello All, I was banded on 7/16. Currently, I am down 44 lbs and would like to lose an additional 26. I have experienced ups and downs with my fills. So far I have had 3 fills and right now I am sooo tight it is uncomfortable to eat. I have tried to tough it out but have decided to go in for a slight unfill this week. I try to exercise for at least 30 minutes 3-5 times per week. Once I get this slight unfill I should be much better.... I hope! I have decided not to tell anyone about the surgery except family and close friends and my co-workers have become quite curious. But I'm not telling....:willy_nilly: My clothes have become so baggy and now I questioning if I should begin shopping or should I wait. Have you all decided to shop or are you waiting?
