Hey - good for you. Yes getting down below 200 is a major milestone. I know it was for me. And the further I get away from the 200 number, seems the happier I get. lol. I've been hovering around 200 for 20 years. I'm either right at 199 or 240+ - story of my life. I struggled for years to get away from it, but just never happened. The day I did go below 200, I know the population on the other side of the planet felt the earth move....I was jumping up and down with excitement. You'll get there, now is the time to get with it, your so close!!!!!! Speaking of self-sabotager - THAT IS ME!!! I got to 167 the other day, and yesterday, ate all the bad stuff, today, was on the track to do it again....Why would I do sabotage myself? Anyhow, I think its the fat person fighting with our skinny self. Its like the two little men on your shoulder, ones the angel and ones the devil. This time the devil will not win! So, I slapped myself a few times and back in the game now. "Tonya, step away from the fork" - I have to tell myself that often you know. lol. Anyhow, I'm too close to goal to sabotage myself, I just can't let myself do that - I won't let myself do that! So I must get with it and not let myself back slide. I really want to be at goal by our 2 yr Band Anniversary, which is fast approaching. Well, gotta run - Have a good day.

I havent' updated in awhile, but I'm happy to say I am 12 lbs from being at a healthy weight! WOW 12 lbs, can I say that out loud? I still can't believe it! Me, Healthy? And no longer overweight. That is just unbelievable. So, countdown is on, 12 lbs to be healthy, and 22 lbs to my overall goal. Life is soo good these days.

My Gawd this is a busy thread. You shrinken Violets sure can chat.....lol, I LOVE IT! My January buddies have all faded, except me and SULA. So sad. Anyhow, just swinging by to see if TracyinKS has had the PS consultation yet? Come on girl, tell me about it!

Melting away this week, but I'm not complaining. I love being in the 160's. Today I hit an all time low, or the lowest I have been in 18 years! I weighed in at 167.7 - I love it! My last fill is really working, I'm satisfied on a small amount of food, but yet I can eat anything and don't have problems with PBing. I think this is the "sweet spot", the only thing I kinda have problems with is ice cold drinks, I have to slow down on those. Yes, Life is good in the band world right now.

Sounds like they are getting people in a bit quicker now. Good to know. Yes, I love the Bolthouse farms myself. I've tried them too - I usually buy them at walmart in the refridgerator section, by the produce. The only problem is, you really have to watch the servings, 'cause I could easily drink the entire bottle because it is so good. My last fill is doing great, I am just melting this week :laugh:. I hit 80 lbs loss today - YAY. Talk to you later.

Thanks, I'm on cloud 9! And in a size 10 :cool2: - I love my silicone buddy!

:cool2::hurray::tt2::hurray::hurray::hurray:I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT! OR should I say my last fill help me do it! I made my mini goal to lose 10 lbs by halloween. I met goal this morning! Now, I'll continue to reach my ultimate goal! I have also hit the 80lb mark. I'm so excited.:laugh::teeth_smile::teeth_smile: ******NAME**********START WGHT****CURRENT WGHT*******GOAL********LBS.

I am saying goodbye to the 170's, and good ridance! I am sick of the 170's! I am so happy to officially weigh in at 169.4 this morning. I know a lot of it has to do with the fact I was sick all weekend, and barely ate a thing. But hey, I'm happy anyhow. I also am having really good restriciton these days, might be that fill #13 - but either way, I can only eat a few bites before I am totally stuffed. I love it! I just love restriction and it is soooo hard for me to get it. I must be some type of genetic freak! Now that I'm on the mend from my virus I had, I MUST now focus on my exercise. The past few weeks I've been sick and just haven't been able to do it, no energy, no mojo, no nothing. Well, will update my blog later.

Hey Jammin January Bandsters - Happy Monday! I'm feeling on top of the world today, FINALLy out of the 170's and weighed in at 169.4 this morning. I know its probably just some Water weight. This weekend I was sick and in bed and could hardly eat a thing. I still have very tight restriction, I could only eat about 1 oz of chicken breast and was stuffed. (gotta love that) I'm going to take advantage of this new wonderful restriction, while I can. You never know when it will leave me:wink2: How is everyone else? I will be leaving Sunday for a week in Florida, I have to go to a court case. I'm hoping to not gain weight while I am there!

I'm staying on plan because I am out of the 170's and into the 160's - FINALLY. I don't want to ever see the 170's again!

Planning is one of the keys to success. As the old saying goies "If you don't plan to succeed, you plan to fail" For instance, this week we are going out to eat, my group at work. We have planned to go to "Los Cobos Mexican". I've went out to menu, researched what would be the best protein/low fat that I could eat. I don't want to show up on prepared. I find that when I plan my meals, I dont sway from them, I seem to stay on plan - when I don't plan, lots of things come up and before I know I'm totally off plan. Best wishes to you!

Hey Pam. To answer your question, I think you can. Have you made another appointment yet? It takes sometimes 4 weeks to get in. So I would make your appointment asap. I doubt you can get in next week. But you can always try. Fill #13 is going better. I have a very sore throat, my entire family is sick, so I haven't been eating much. Not sure if its because of my sore throat or the fill, I guess time will tell. I actually already made my appointment for another fill, but I can always cancel it if I feel I don't need it. Right now, things are pretty good. I firmly believe one of the keys with success is stay on top of your fills. You should not be able to eat more than a cup of food (solid food, good protein), and should not be hungry for 4 hours later. If you are, you need a fill.

My husband and I went thru the same problems. Right about the time we were at 10 yrs of marriage. He said mean and hurtful things. We finally separated, and I moved on with my life. I started focussing on me, he came back with his tail between his legs and begging for me to take him back. I didn't at that time, but I did agree to marriage counselor. We attented this for about a year, and this year we will be celebrating our 20 yr anniversary. Our marriage is the best it has ever been and he tells me how much he loves me and how lucky he is to have me almost everyday. My point is, its your husband that has the problem, not you. Focus on you, try not to let his hurtful stuff hurt you. If he truly loves you he will come around, if not, you will be better off without him. I strongly advice counseling, evenn if he doesn't go, you go by yourself. Mental abuse can do a lot of damage.

Fill #1 - 3/6/07 - 2.2cc's Fill #2 - 4/17/07 - 3.0cc's Fill #3 - 7/6/07 - 3.5 cc's (I think it was only 2.5cc's because when I went back for fill #4, he could only w/draw 1.8 cc's) Fill #4 - 7/20/07 - filled me back to 3.0 ccs - He should have filled me more! Fill #5 - 8/17/07 - 3.4cc's Fill #6 - 10/08/07 - filled me to 3.8cc's - the best restriction I've ever had,but still could eat big bites of food, so I figured I needed to be tighter. Fill #7 - 11/21/07 filled to 4.0 cc's. By the evening could not hold anything down, not even my saliva. PBing all night - horrilble experieince UNFILL #1 - 11/23/07 - unfilled to somewhere between 2.5 to 3.0 cc's - NO RESTRICTIONS AGAIN :cry_smile: Fill #8 - 1/18/08 Went in and the doc filled me back up to just right under 4.0, according to Flouro, it was perfect. Well, by next morning, could not hold down saliva again, ended up back in hospital UNFILL #2 - 1/19/08 - Doctor had to unfill me to 3.0 again because of the swelling from all the PBing for being too tight. Again, NO RESTRICTION - :thumbup: Fill #9 - 2/12/08 - 3.5 cc's - was tight for about a week, now feel lose again. grrrr, still have "some" restriction, just not quite enough! Next fill scheduled for 4/7/08 - I hate that it takes sooooooo long to get in to see the fill doc. FILL #10 - 4/7/08 The doc just added .4cc's, making me at 3.9cc's. I think this might be the one! FILL #11 - Was scheduled on 6/25/08 - but the doc did not fill me up, I was leaving for a cruise on 6/27 so he didn't want to risk me being too tight, so did not get a fill. FILL #11 - 8/5/08 Went for a fill, this time the doc took all my fill out and all he could get out was 2.4 cc's. Filled me up to 4.0 cc's, I left, had to go right back because I could not drink, he took out a little over .2 cc's, he said I'm somewhere between 3.5 to 3.7 cc's. - I had great restriction for 2 weeks, but It has now loosened some. I feel I might need a tad more. I'm worried I have a very slow leak. UNFILL #3 - 8/5/08 - Took a little over .2 cc's out, had pretty good restriction, but still a tad too lose. FILL #12 - 9/17/08 - Added just 1/10th of a cc - I think I'm somewhere between 3.8 to 3.9 cc in a 4cc band. I am hoping and praying this is the fill that I stop with! I do not have another appointment for another fill, will wait this one out and see. Fill #13 - 10/06/08 - Doc added about 2/10's of a cc. He took everything out and put it all back in and said I was about 3.7 to 3.8cc's. - which is where he said I was last time.

Fill #1 - 3/6/07 - 2.2cc's Fill #2 - 4/17/07 - 3.0cc's Fill #3 - 7/6/07 - 3.5 cc's (I think it was only 2.5cc's because when I went back for fill #4, he could only w/draw 1.8 cc's) Fill #4 - 7/20/07 - filled me back to 3.0 ccs - He should have filled me more!

PBing all night - horrilble experieince UNFILL #1 - 11/23/07 - unfilled to somewhere between 2.5 to 3.0 cc's - NO RESTRICTIONS AGAIN Fill #8 - 1/18/08 Went in and the doc filled me back up to just right under 4.0, according to Flouro, it was perfect. Well, by next morning, could not hold down saliva again, ended up back in hospital UNFILL #2 - 1/19/08 - Doctor had to unfill me to 3.0 again because of the swelling from all the PBing for being too tight. Again, NO RESTRICTION - Fill #9 - 2/12/08 - 3.5 cc's - was tight for about a week, now feel lose again. grrrr, still have "some" restriction, just not quite enough! Next fill scheduled for 4/7/08 - I hate that it takes sooooooo long to get in to see the fill doc. FILL #10 - 4/7/08 The doc just added .4cc's, making me at 3.9cc's. I think this might be the one! FILL #11 - Was scheduled on 6/25/08 - but the doc did not fill me up, I was leaving for a cruise on 6/27 so he didn't want to risk me being too tight, so did not get a fill. FILL #11 - 8/5/08 Went for a fill, this time the doc took all my fill out and all he could get out was 2.4 cc's. Filled me up to 4.0 cc's, I left, had to go right back because I could not drink, he took out a little over .2 cc's, he said I'm somewhere between 3.5 to 3.7 cc's. - I had great restriction for 2 weeks, but It has now loosened some. I feel I might need a tad more. I'm worried I have a very slow leak. UNFILL #3 - 8/5/08 - Took a little over .2 cc's out, had pretty good restriction, but still a tad too lose. FILL #12 - 9/17/08 - Added just 1/10th of a cc - I think I'm somewhere between 3.8 to 3.9 cc in a 4cc band. I am hoping and praying this is the fill that I stop with! I do not have another appointment for another fill, will wait this one out and see. Fill #13 - 10/06/08 - Doc added about 2/10's of a cc. He took everything out and put it all back in and said I was about 3.7 to 3.8cc's. - which is where he said I was last time.

I'm just checking in. My weight is STUCK, but I just got my fill #13, so hopefully its the fill that does the trick. I want to update my stats so bad, but the darn scale will not move! Everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work!

Hey all. Just swinging by to check in. scale is stuck at 170. It doesn't want to give me the 160's, but I'm not giving up! My son has been sick with strep and coxsackie virus, and I think I'm going down with it, it hurts to swallow. If I do come down with it, I think I will get to the 160's because you just can't eat - hurts too bad. So, I guess that would be the only good thing about coming down with it. lol. Oh, I went for fill #13, my fill 11 & 12 quit working on me. Fill #13 seems to be doing pretty good. I'm so frustrated, my doc tells me this is Luck #13, so we will see. It seems to being doing pretty good so far. Well, hope all is well and will check in later, unless i'm sick - hehehe

Yes, you need to have a good solid Protein, soups are good, but they are thin and will go thru the band quickly. Try and stick with some of your baked chicken, or fish, or even a tender beef tips would be good. I had fill #13 and I told Dr. Kirk you saw him, he remembered you and he said any time someone brings up the girl with 12 fills, he knows exactly who they are talking about. I hold the record for the most amount of fills. lol.:wub: Anyhow fill #13 seems to be doing pretty good. I might have to go back for 1 more fill, but we are very close to getting it right I think. I went out for lunch today and could only eat 1/2 my enchilada, so I feel satisfied with that. I try and not eat the fattening stuff, but today I had lunch with a friend who drove a long way to see me, so I felt like I had to eat her favorite mexican place.:wub: I met another girl yesterday, she was soooooo skinny, looked so good, and she was having fill #4. She had her band in 2005. She said she was only 12 lbs from her goal, and hadnt had a fill in over 18 months. I was a bit jealous because I'm in the office 1 a month it seems like. grrrrr. Anyhow, I think I'm just a strange genetic freak. lol.

Becuase I has fill #13 yesterday and I want it to work!

Since you have only had 1 fill, you might be experiencing real hunger. Cravings are definitely "head hunger". Head hunger is more of a "want" vs. more of a real stomach growling hunger. I experience head hunger a lot when I'm bored, therefore, I try and read when I'm bored to help with my head hunger. Something very weird happened to me during my last fill, I am actually looser than I was before. It's so frusterating, so I'm going in for fill #13 today. I'm so tired of these darned fills! lol Anyhow, try and stick with lots of Protein, this will also help with head hunger and real hunger. If you can eat chickin, try and munch on some chicken in between meals, this will help. Protein is a life saver when it comes to curbing hunger, even with head hunger it seems to make me feel full and I don't "crave" things. Do you have another fill scheduled?
