Congratulation on the new car. Can't help noticing the car is not lopsided like mine. 102.6 lost is quite a feat and I hope to be there someday. Doddie

(so, tomorrow is 52 weeks since surgery.... my surgery was on March 29, which is thursday. If the scale isn't favorable tomorrow, I have one more day to try!!!)

My arms have potential... too bad the flab isn't moving'. I don't think I could go sleeveless even if they were nice and tight. stretch marks there, too.

Argon: Yours arms look wonderful. There is always someone worse off. Me! My arms are so large, I can't get into a 30/32 and they they are gross when I relax them. I am hoping when I have the weight off, the first thing I do will be to get my arms fixed. Doddie.

Thanks Doddie. Not wonderful enough, I'm afraid. For someone who's never worn a sleeveless anything in public, it kills me to not be able to in the near future.

Anyways... I think I will call tomorrow my 1 yr anniversary (52 weeks plus a day). I didn't like todays scale read-out. (since it was same as it was Feb. 14 (d-day)) Tomorrow's the day, I can feel it, I'm in for one of my freak-ish 3 pound drops into the 170's!! WOO!

It's Dan and my 4 yr anniversary today. Awwww.... yeah, yeah, I know... lame. We went out for lunch since we both planned to hit the gym after work. Good lunch... I had quiche.

Went to the gym. I would have skipped it, but I wanted to be officially weighed on their scale, and have my measurements and body fat taken, according to their crazy system. Last time I did it there was Oct 27/06.

Here we go:

Oct - 210lbs NOW - 184.5

body fat - 34.1 ------- 27.8

Chest - 47" -------------41

Waist - 41.25"----------34.5

Belly - 48.25" ----------43

Hips - 42" --------------39

Thigh - 23" -------------22.5

Arm - 14.25" -----------13

SOoooo... pretty good. They measure all weird... places I don't... so, I don't really count their measurements... I do my own! Still cool.

Hi: I take any measurements that are good including weight. My doc and TLBC scales and my own. I take my doc's because he has agreed to help me with the weight and band. I go Apr. 2 to weigh in and other things like meds etc. Unfortuantely, my scales can't be read because my belly gets in the way and besides, they would be different to my docs. Anyway congratulations keep it up you are an inspiration. doddie

Those are awesome measurements Mandi....who cares about the weight number when you have inches such as that losts!!! THAT'S what it's all about!!!

Well done!!! (regardless of your one year reading tomorrow!)

Hi Argon

I was reading a few pages back and I read where you had to be defilled. Is that the first time that happened since the time you have been banded? Have things been pretty smooth from the get go? I am a little freaked out about this. I am not banded yet but I thought most problems would happen near the beginning when we need to learn how to chew and eat small amounts.
