I'm glad everything is working out for you thus far. I've been were your at. Started 250 to 180. Almost closing a size 12. Take each step at a time. You'll get there. Congrads again.

It's offical, I'm in a size 12 but I can't close them. Don't know if that counts. I'm going to see my doc today. I need a fill asap. I'm in the Yellow Zone (meaning, I can east more than a cup of food and I can eat every 1/2 hr). I'm holding my own but for how long, don't know....

Day 14 and just can't get motivated to get on the treadmill....
blossoming commented on Tricia Lewis's blog entry in The Skinny Girl With In!!
You have to soul search and ask yourself what kind of excercise do you enjoy. It could be something as simple as jumping rope with the neighborhood kids or by-yourself. Because we know we have to do some type of excercise. You just have to find what you really enjoy. I'm not talking abou not the routine ones, it could be line dancing if you enjoy dancing, swimming, anything to keep you motivated. Good luck....! -
Ladies let me tell you , my biggest fan is a 6'2 230lbs chocolate hunk. He works-out a the same gym I go to. He told me he was so imspired by my story and he admires my enthusiam. He also told me he was my biggest fan and it is his gain if no one admire my beauty. Ladies it's been such a long time since a man has every spoken to me like that. It definaly makes me work-out harder and watch my diet. NOTHING LIKE A LITTLE INSPERATION. :D

Yesterday was my anniversary. (Went from a size 24 to 14). I went to Victoria Secret and got some body lotion. Tried on a few of there bra's (didn't like the way the fit)---Playtex 18hour fits much better). But definately enjoyed my day. I also went to a health store and got a slice of cholcolate cake. Now I'm ready to work on my final goal, which is to lose 3 more sizes (size 8). I'm going to to be realistic. I will say by the winter I should be in my size 8.

I'm so proud of you. Keep up the good work. You definately have motivated me. -
I've decided to speak with someone regarding food addiction. Even though I am banded I notice something about myself. I still have cravings more so psychologically. I need to get that balanced. I will be going to AA meetings because (FA-Food Addicts) goes by the AA book. I have to get a better hold and control of my mental state. Sometimes it could be the slightest emotion than I wanna eat something for whatever reason. I'll keep you posted. But on a brighter note: I was at the gym today and ladies imagine this 6'3, 245 solid. chocolate (R.Kelly look-a-like). and today he tells me his name. Ladies what to do. Will keep you posted. That definately brightened my day.

I trained so hard yesterday. I need a break today. Back on my work-out grind tomorrow. It's all worth it. Even though the scale doesn't show a vast weight loss, I can feel it in my clothes and tell I'm loosing a lot of inches. My anniversary date is 3/25/11. I'm not going to make my size 12 jeans marked. I can pull them up halfway past my backside but I can' pull them up all the way, I'm not discouraged because I know it's going to happen soon. It may happen quickly but it will happen. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, OUR JOURNEY MAY NOT BE EASY BUT IT'S DEFINATELY WORTH IT!

and it slowed my weight loss until jan I went and got a fill and it fell off in the first 30 days. Now Like I posted before I had b-day on 2/28 so my body is getting trained back to what I was doing...GOOD LUCK and remember take each day one step at a time.

I'm currently down 183 today I started at 247. But before I started I went on a one-week liquid diet and lost 6 pounds. My sugestion to you if your able to eat more, do sallads with fat free dressing (just the vegetables only), it will fill you. You just need something to fill that extra space. Call your doctor and exaggerate NOW you need another fill asap. I've been there last year
-
Congratulations, on your great sucess. I am so proud of you. I pray to one day get down to my long term goal weight which is 135
-
Thank goodness most of that weight was water weight. Back down to 182. Slowly getting there. Even though I had cake and icre-cream and whaterever else on my b-day, what I fogot to say I had it in moderation. For example I had a thick slice of strawberry short-cake but my kids ate half of it. I also had icre-cream, low sugar ice cream (5 gram of sugar, 90 cal per 1/2 cup). So in other words, I didn't splurges lke I used to do. Also if you are maintaining water, you want to ask your primary doc for a water prescript or riteaid sells them over the counter. I find that I can drink 32 ozs of fluids (the band doesn't allow me to drink the full gal along with eating) and at the end of the day may 1/2 cup comes out. My weight loss surgeon said sometimes women maintain a whole lot more fluid.

Well, my birthday was 2/28/11 and let me tel ya, Of course I had to have some cake and ice-cream and whatever else. I can say I've gain 6lbs in a week (187). But I'm not going to let that discourage me. I'm back to my gain plan. I couldn't let that day go by without celebrating. I can reframe from cake from my children's and anybody else birthday except my own. That''s the day GOD brought me into this world. So my size 14's are tight but not to worry, I am definately working out it.... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, I KNOW I CAN USE.

I've done the Glucerna because it was easier to go down and low in sugar, also in between means, I ate sugar free pudding, applesauce, mash potaoes,. anything that wouldn't stick to me inside. Also it kept the hunger down some. I only ate very little of it also. Good luck! This is only the beginning

Went out over the weekend for my birthday. Let me tell you, had the best time in years. Went down to the casino and played my heart out ,and went to an old club I use to hangout 15 years ago, men were such gentlemens, giving up there seats, buyiing me drinks and food (of course I turned it down), I had my own pinacaolida (I Hope that's how you spell it), and was feeling was feeeling no pain. I felt so alive and sexy and ladies, ladies let me tell you.....When I walked in I lie to you not men, were talking to there females and stop and starred and smiled at me. Oh, it felt good, I can imagine what it's going to be like when I get down to my size 8. I'm definately encouraged. Today is officaly my birthday and I feel the same as I did years ago. But I am going to start my day with a workout plan. GOOD LUCK...CONTINUE TO THE HARD FIGHT. WE ALL CAN DO IT.

I've lost 59lbs and going strong. Surgery date 3/25/10. I advise everyone to keep on top of your fills. Once I got my second fill, I've lost 7lbs in a week (water weight) and it's been coming off every since. Keep up the good work everyone. It's not easy but it can be accomplished.
