Hello fellow Marchies I am just checking in. I am so happy the weather has broken finally. I was starting to get tired of the gym's atmosphere. I have been jogging on the lake and biking on the lake also to switch things up a bit and that has been awesome! Well I have set some goal for myself; I want to lose between 15 and 20 pounds before I go to Jamaica on July 30. So I have to say that I have stepped my routine up a few notches. I normally work our 5 days a week, but now I try to do between 6 or 7 days. So wish me luck team. I have lost more weight, but I have not updated my ticker because I don’t do scales much. I try to gage myself on how I look and feel. (Which is probably crazy!!! lol) When I see my personal trainer or when I go to the doctor I will update this ticker. But I feel GREAT!!! Lets GO HARD This SUMMER TEAM!!! :thumbup:

Thanks Tammy. That would be great, those lakefront run/walks represented the new wave of thing to come. I have not looked back since those days. I see you are doing awesome. Call me when you get a chance. Marchies ROCK!!!!

Hello everyone I just want to check in and post this month. I am soooooo Happy because I am past the 100lb mark. I never, ever though I would be able to lose One Hundred Pounds!!!! I have come to the realization that it had a lot to do with my negative self image and self talk, and me not believing and therefore not working toward any goal because I had already defeated myself mentally. It is funny because I can honestly say that if I ever worked as hard as I do now with my band (in the gym) and put forward half of the effort I could have lost some of the weight. So the band helped me physically and mentally. I LOVE my band. It Work's if you WORK IT!!!!!

Hello Marchies!!! I am soooooo loving my band. I have stuck to my workout plan and the weight is steadily coming off. Looking back at this last year I can honestly say it has been the best year of my life. I am blooming and loving and appreciating my self so much, and I think others are starting to also (LOL). I use to joke with my gorgeous sister and I would say that I was invisible. I seems that people are starting to recognize me these days (LOL). I have so much energy and I am living life and not just watching others enjoy it. I hope this journey is going great for everyone!!!!

Marchies Happy New Years!!! I hope everything is great with everyone. I went to the doctor and they didn't give me a fill. They reported that I had been on a good track as far as my weight loss process. Everything is going great with my workout routine.

Hello Marchies I just wanted to stop by and say I hope everyone is coping well with the holidays and staying warm!!! I am just so suprised at how fast the time has passed by since March. I am praying that I can continue to keep up my momentum during these cold months. I have been really intreuged with peoples reaction to my weight lost because everyone always says how good I look, but some times I just see the same person I have always seen. I know I need to do some work on my self preception. Anyhow, I love my band!!! Happy Holidays

I am soooo happy I am not alone...I stay cold. I am so happy to here it is not just me. I just set a doctors appointment this morning to see what was going on with me. I am so happy to know that this is normal!!! Weight lost is going great!!! I love my band!

Hello Marchies Just want to stop by and say things have been going great. I have had the chance to have a real summer/ fall due to the band. I plan to keep my intensity level up so I can be successful this winter. I hope everyone is fine. You all have my support. WORK YOUR BANDS!!! Peace

Hello Marchies I have been away from this board for a while but have checked on it perodically. I miss everyone and I am happy everyone is working toward a healthy lifestyle. I hope we all can use this board as a support tool and draw as much positive energy from it, because this board is a tool just like the lapband. I feel that we all are able to offer something different and that is a good thing. I want to say that slow or fast we are all losing!!!! And that is great. Stay encourged everyone.

Happy Birthday Denise!!! Tammyj- I missed you yesterday!!! Call me girl so we can go jogging together. Everything has been great with me I am learning to work with my band. I feel I need a fill hopefully when I go back to the doctor it will happen. However i'm still losing so we shall see. We have finally had a break in the weather so I want to do more outside stuff. I actually have a NSV Last Saturday I rode my bike along the lake front from 63rd and Lake Shore Dr. to Navy Pier (That In Chicago). That was a total of 18 miles. I really shocked myself with that one!!!! MaRcHiEs Rock!!!! Stay Motivated Everyone!!!!
