thank you all for your replies. It really is an great feeling. One year ago i couldnt even see myself getting to this point so quick and I no I have a long ways to go still, but not near as much as I did.

thanks for the support and responses. I finally lost 2 more pds this morning after about two weeks. I think I may be a little to tight but I have been reading up on being to tight and one thing I am trying is to drink something warm about 30 minutes before I try to take my meds. and will also try it before I eat when I try to eat again. After being sick for two days I really am not ready to eat yet.

MrsMustang thanks for you comment and good luck on your surgery and I will say a prayer for you. Keep us posted on how everything goes.

Gorda123 Thanks for your comment and I think you are doing great. I have so much weight to lose that I am only half way with my weight loss and I love the way you look at this process and will diff. try to remember to look at this the same way. I have been overweight since the birth of my daughter and she is 26 now. Wow When I look at it that way it really does help .lol It may take a while but it has been here for ever so that is ok.

Congrats on the great job. You are such an inspiration!!

Wow ! great job. You look awesome. Keep up the great work.

I am so proud of you! I wish I could manage to even run and the 5k wow . It sounds like you had great support from the family. Keep up the great work. Hope the rest of your weekend goes great.

You are doing awsome keep up the great work. I completely understand the old habbits part. I still have trouble some times. It is getting easier though.

I have found this to be true depending on what body type you are. I am more pear shaped so my butt and thighs are the last to go. If you are apple shaped you will lose it last in your belly.

I really needed to be reminded of this. I always enjoy reading your blogs.

You are doing an great job. It is amazing the difference in the pictures. Keep up the great work.

You are doing great. Keep up the great work. I really love your blog. I so no how you feel. lol

I to had the same feelings but I was more scared not to do it . I was surely killing myself with the weight that I had put on and was still putting on. I think it is normal to feel that way. I still think it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I so do not regret it at all. I will say a prayer for you. Good luck.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been having some trouble after this last fill with not being able to eat even the first two bites. I will try these rules also and see if they help. You are doing a great job. Keep up the great work and I hope this works for you.

You are doing awsome !! It is such a great feeling hitting the scale victorys and non scale victorys. Keep up the great work. It is hard work but so worth it.

You are so right with slow and steady with both eating and with losing weight. I am learning that lesson right now myself with eating. I am losing quick now but I am already trying to prepare for the slow down. Keep up the great work. You are doing awsome.

I know how you feel. I have no reason for being depressed right now either. I am trying to pull myself out of it as well. You are doing such a great job! Keep up the great work. As my mom always tells me " keep your chin up and this to will pass." Its just hard I guess when your going though it.

I know what you mean. I to have got to feel better about myself. My husband tells me all the time to just get out there and dont worry what others think. He says it dont matter what others think just what I think about my self. That is not very good right now. I dont like the way I look and I know what others are probably thinking so I dont do alot of things because of that. Im working on it though as you are. You are doing so great. Keep up the great job , the rest will come in time.

I also told my family . The only problem was if I slow down on losing weight they look at me and want to know what Im doing wrong. Its a hard enough journey than having to worry about what every one else thinks. I think you are doing a great job and keep up the great work.

Wow you look great keep up the great work.

Thanks DebraG , I am amazed at how good the band is working as long as I follow the doctors orders.

Thanks Janet, I diffently depend on the good Lords help. You are so right about the stress. I trying to learn how to handle it without useing my old best friend food.

Thanks sandradee and blossoming; Guess I just need to remember that. I also need to know that it is normal to feel that way about your kids even if they are not kids anymore. lol

I agree with you and can really relate. You are doing a great job. I have to remind myself all the time that these journey is for a better me and better health. Keep up the great work.

Im glad you are feeling better. I is very easy to get off track by events that happen or being sick as your were. You are doing great and I love the way you think. Keep up the great work and I hope you are feeling better now.

great advice!!! I have been trying to stay busy even started doing yard work. That helps with exercise also. I really need to take one day at a time and stop thinking about the time I have to wait, and focus on here and now. That is hard for me to do.lol

great post!! I can really relate to your post.

I was on diabetic meds and blood pressure meds. I was completely able to get off the diabetic meds. thank god. and im taking half the amount for blood pressure meds. Hang in there! It should all work out.
