Baby girl it is getting very hard to stay focus. Coming here on the boards and reading peeps stories and sucesses does help. For the next two weeks I am on vacation and I hope to renew myself. Losing weight has always been a mindset game for me. I might join WW. I have always loved their program and now I hear it is protein base. How are you doing? TTYL.

girlfriend..i'm patiently waiting for a weight update!!!! it's so fun finally losing weight...my clothes are fitting better...i don't know that i've necessarily changed sizes...alot of my stuff is stretchy..haha so it's not stretching as much i guess. keep me posted...i'll give you my congrats now though because i'm sure you've just been too excited to update yet today!! =)

I can see in your new profile picture that you are losing weight! It shows in your face!

Hey sister! Hope your doing well.Just wanted to say hi to you on here! You're doing so GREAT! You will get these damn plateaus and the weight will continue to fall off. So proud of you! Keep up the good work!

I've been wondering how you are. That's great news about your weight loss. Keep it up baby girl.

Hey Deb. Yeah I start my preop tomorrow. I am so dreading it, but I am looking forward to losing some weight. Getting really nervous about surgery...keep having to keep myself from chickening out.

Hey, thanks for the offer! I don't really have the $ to go to Mexico again, although it'd be nice to pop in and show myself off, as well as support the people who are just waiting for the surgery or recovering. If you end up going, let me know how your visit goes. I think I'll just send him an update email in a few months - waiting til my weight stabilizes for 2-3 months so I know I'm done losing.

Yay I am so excited I hit the 50 pound mark today. It is so funny I had thought I gained weight but with putting new clothes on I guess the clothes will fool ya. Anyways really excited and happy I had my sleeve. I have been the happiness in my life since having this done and it has really done wonders with my relationship with my hubby as well, not that it was bad before but it has made us closer!

YES GIRL I AM DOWN 15 POUNDS! GIRL WHEN THEY TOOK MY WEIGHT IN MEXICO I WAS 234LBS GIRL I STILL THOUGHT I WAS 222 I HAD GAINED WEIGHT! SO NOW I AM 219 WHICH I AM HAPPY WITH !!!! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL I AM UNDER 200LBS

I saw your post about your upcoming surgery. I am scheduled for April 13 in Kansas City. It looks like we will be starting out about the same weight (still wondering how I got to 330???). I start my two week liquid diet on Wednesday. Let's stay in touch. It will be good to support each other!

Everythings pretty goodl. I am stalling, but on my own choosing. I can lose weight toooo fast and then I look sick, so I'm just trying to let my body catch up. I've holding steady at 187 for a few weeks. I am in a size 12 jeans and when I had my surgery in August I used to wear a 26 jeans. I still would like to get to single digits in jeans, but it will come when I am ready TTYL baby girl.

Congratz on the weight loss. Love the pic with the grandkiddies surrounding you.

No, I don't following my guidelines 100% of the time. I have eaten my fair share of donuts and tabo foods. But I don't beat myself up about it and I go on. I do try to eat my protein and drink my water and I think that helps alot. I have slowed down alot in my weight loss tho. I am losing about 10 pounds a month now. That's why I am hoping to be at goal by Aug.

Finally, back to the LB doc next week to face reality that I haven't done so well over the last few months and need to stop avoiding the dr. I haven't gained but need a fill and a kick in the ...... Been doing better the past couple weeks though.

I just began my monthly nutritional meetings. I have to do the 6 months before surgery for insurance purposes and nutritional education. How much weight do they expect you to lose before the surgery? I am really stressed about this and want to comply as much as possible so they don't turn me down.

Weight hasn't changed, but the size 14's are now getting to big- 12's fit great. Weried

Got my first fill today... A total of 4cc's in one shot. The doctor was shocked that my band was so loose and that I didn't gain any weight... I guess I have been a good girl, watching what I eat and exercising. But I definitely need to lose, it's not about maintaining at this point.

I hit a cool milestone this morning. I've officially lost more than half my body weight and I've lost more than I currently weigh.

Welcome to my page! My before picture is current (476 lbs) and my after picture is actually my sister! She's only a year younger than me. I'm sure I'll look very similar to her once I lose all this weight.

If anyone would like to friend me on myfitnesspal, I would like some banders that have had great success in their weight loss journey that wouldn't mind sharing their menus with me so I can get ideas. I am at the beginning of this journey and don't want to lose the momentum I already have by getting bored with my menu! Thank you!

The downside of losing a ton of weight? Loss of insulation! I swear I'm constantly freezing!

My weight loss is neither fast nor slow. It is what it is. I'm losing weight, feeling great, and trying to remain patient and THANKFUL!! I am eternally grateful for all the support I've been given here, on this forum, and from family and friends at home.

Started exercising now 2 weeks, weight has deff stalled but I won't let this 'temporary' setback get me down!

Weight 202.0 this morning - trending on down. Just walking and watching what I eat and the results are amazing. Now in 16 ladies now 20 W!!
