LoseIt!

Does it matter?? Ha! Like sandradee says, Enjoy it! Down is the key!

Congratulations!! That is a great accomplishment and so encouraging.

Congratulations on making it to Onederland!! I hope to join you soon.

Yikes! Thank goodness you know now and it should be better going forward.

Congrats! And YAY! That is awesome!

Congratulations on all your wonderful family happenings. These are joyous times and is delightful that you are enjoying them so!!

Wow...having a restaurant is HARD work, so congratulations on getting it up and running. And YAY for the big crowd!!

Aw...I'm so sorry!! That has to be ridiculously frustrating. I hope it gets better very soon!

I love that you had such a fun time with your daughter! My mom is coming in a few weeks and I know I'm really looking forward to it. You cousin sounds like an ass. I'm sure she is mostly lovely, but ouch. That is just so hurtful. Know that we all :biggrin: you very much!!

Woo hoo! 14s, here you come!

That has to be frustrating. I will offer you some encoragement in that my fill doctor says that just a few drops can have an amazing effect. Meaning maybe just a few drops will get you from where you are now, to the restriction you want. I'm hoping for you!!

What great news! Congratulations on your success. Awesome!

Weekends sure do seem to fly by, don't they? Friday was such a great day. Work was busy until around 3:00, then we all took out our new iPads and played. We showed each other which apps we had purchased and "ichatted". Ha! We are spoiled. After work, I went home and freshened up, then Cori & I went to Ft. Worth. She had a gift card to PF Changs from her birthday. We did the meal for two which was a ridiculous amount of food for the two of us. I ate about 1/2 my hot and sour soup cup, 1 chicken lettuce wrap, then about 7 small pieces of chicken/shrimp from the two entrees. I did manage to have a few bites of dessert too. :scared2: Then we headed to the Bowling for Soup concert which was super fun. I LOVE them!! We didn't get home until almost 2am, so I slept in instead of going to Jazzercise. In fact, except for a Tupperware party at 2pm and church at 6pm, I lazed around most of the day. Sunday was a different story. While I didn't get up until 9:30, I was busy after that. I met some friends for breakfast. I LOVE EGGS! I went to the grocery store then came home and attacked both my laundry and the spare bedroom. I worked for about 4 hours around the house and really burned some calories! I completely finished my laundry and the spare room is about 90% ready for visitors. I spent the evening catching up on the last season of WEEDS. That is such a crazy, but awesome show. Next thing I knew, it was time for bed and a new week! Tomorrow is the end of the month and time for my monthly weigh in. Stay tuned. :sleep:

Oh Jade, I'm SO SO SO happy for you! I can feel your happiness just radiating from the screen. I couldn't be more thrilled!

I'm a 36 year old female and was banded on 1/27. I have lost 65 pounds since then and am just over halfway to my goal. Due to chronic tonsilitis, I am going to have to have a tonsillectomy in December. I was wondering if anyone has had to undergo this procedure after being banded. If so, can you tell me how it went for you? I hear that it is incredibly painful for adults, so that is something to look forward to. My surgeon has said that I will need to get a complete unfill which makes sense. I know that I won't be able to eat after the procedure, so I'm not overly concerned about gaining weight during this time. I think my biggest concerned is "starting over" with the fill process. I have (possibly unnecessary?) concerns that it will somehow be different. Just curious to hear any applicable stories. Thanks!!

I'm sitting here blogging and watching Colts preseason football. My life is SWEET! The only thing that would make it better would be a regular season game. :scared2: I LOVE football!! Speaking of the Colts, I bought our plane tickets to Indy today. They went down almost $100 so I jumped on it. I also reserved the hotel so we are ready to go! It is hard to believe that I have a trip to Louisville, a visit from the parents, & a trip to New Orleans before that. Plus I trip to North Carolina to see my godson a couple weeks after that. Whew! Exhausting...but again, how awesome!? Jazzercise was a good workout tonight. I used 8 pound weights tonight instead of 10. They felt pretty light which is a good sign. I had a little twinge in my back today and I wanted to baby it. But I still felt that I got in great strength training. Tomorrow night we are going to a Bowling for Soup concert. They are my favorite band and I LOVE seeing them. I'm excited! Have a great Friday everyone! I will be rocking out! :sleep:

Happy Bandiversary! Congrats on your success so far! I have really enjoyed getting to know you and hearing from you ALWAYS means so much to me. Have a wonderful time with your daughter!!

Good for you, going out and living a nice, normal life!! That's we are all reaching for, right? Go girl!

I LOVE hearing how you are doing and I think you are doing a great thing! I will be eager to hear about the new dietician. Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone! What a wonderful Wednesday. I told you about the roller coaster that was yesterday. Whew! Glad that was over. Today was much more calm. Today at lunch, I actually ran outside...where people can see me! I made it about 2.2 miles which is good. I hope I can make it the full 5k Labor Day weekend! I'm sure I can. I was down 2 pounds this morning. That was AWESOME! I'm starting to be more "regular" so I think that is a big part of it. The Miralax/Activia combo seems to be working. Tonight I had dinner with an old friend that I used to work with. It was quite delightful and I realize that I miss her. We are going to have to do it more often! I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to need a tonsillectomy. It sucks, but that is just part of life. I'm looking at having it in December so that is something to look forward to. :wub: Silver lining is that my parents are going to come take care of me. I'm so blessed! Hope your Wednesday was wonderful too!
