On my way! I officially hit 90 pounds lost this morning! Woo Hoo!!!

(BTW, this new board is bugging out my eyes!)

[losingjusme 12]

congrats on 90 pounds libra!!

Congrats Libra on the 90lbs gone

Losingjusme...I think you are doing a great job too, You are down almost 100lbs!! great job on all those crunches. Do you just lay on the floor with your knees bent, & hands behind your head?

I don't like this new board either:tired

[LapBandit 5]

Super yuck on the new board. The ads on the side are really distracting. But, I guess I can't complain about a free board which has provided me with a whole year of support and inspiration! But...still...ewww!

Libra-I am SOOO proud of you! What an accomplishment! 90lbs is incredible! I'm really happy for you!

Did you notice all the stars by our thread?! We're special!

[RidinMyHDDream 1]

Congratulations on your 90 Libra! :whoo:

[Josette 2]

congrats Libra. You're awesome! I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work!

Yay Libra grats on 90lbs gone forever! This new fill seems to be exactly where I was after my last fill which was perfect restrictin so I am very excited. I am experiencing head hunger all over again though but it will pass in another day or so

[libra 13]

Awww, thanks everyone! I need to post some before's and during's soon. I'm really amazed by the change.

I'm loving the stars! We really ARE special.

Come on Libra...share some pics we're ready to Celebrate with ya!

Good job everyone. I'm sorry to report...I seem to be in a rut. I'm doing my best to kick it into gear. But, for some reason I am just hungry ALL THE TIME. I have never had good restriction so I can't blame that. I'm used to not being restricted. So, I'm wondering...do you think our metabolisms can get out-of-whack? That's what it feels like. I feel like my body is just screaming for food and I can't explain why. What do you guys think? Ever gone through something similar?

[waterlily1072 5]

Yes I have LapBandit. Are you opposed to getting another fill? I find that good restriction does help with the head hunger quite a bit. Other than that I think it's just that psychologically we get tired of always eating right and just want to have those yummy decadent things that are so bad for us. It is a trecherous slope giving in to those thigs too. Once you start it's hard to stop, at least it is for me. The great thing about the band is that even if we take time off from "dieting" the band is always there waiting for us to be ready to work at it again. Look how long my rut was, 3 months!!! Now I am back on track, I don't always like that I can't eat that juicy burger but I sure like the results of the weight loss. Let's face it we all love food, during a moment of sanity we decided to get banded so that we could control our love affair with food, some days we just need to rely more on the band than our own willpower, maybe it's time for you to take a break and let the band do most of the work and get a fill. There is nothing like a little rapid weight loss to get you motivated and in control again :eek:

[libra 13]

You said it Molly! If we were able to control our "food cravings" I don't think we would have needed the band. I have times when I just don't feel like watching what I eat anymore. Particularly...that time of the month...I want chocolate...I want chips...I want ice cream. It's hard to work around that when we spent most of our lives giving into our cravings.

Lapbandit...you can do it. Look what you've accomplished so far!!! Absolutely incredible!!! If you're anywhere near New Jersey, I'd be happy to come over and give you a kick in the butt! LOL!!

BTW, I'll post pics shortly. I just went to my brother's engagement party, so I have recent pics! My before's are kind of scary so be prepared! YIKES!!

[libra 13]

Um, did anyone notice the "rep power" thingy in the right corner of everyone's posts? What the heck is that?

[waterlily1072 5]

good question I'm not sure :cry
