February 2007 bandsters!

Rebecca: It's great to have those fast losses when the band is too tight. The problem I've found with keeping the band too tight is that you start eating all the wrong things because they go down easiest (i.e., icecream--the Devil's food!!!) Glad to learn you're doing better.

Hi all ! Just wanted to drop in and see how the summers going for you ! I think we're all busy actually "living " our lives now . I know I am. I feel so much more alive and happy than I did a year and a half ago. I thank God every day for this band in me.:wub: I'm getting ready to go back to work in just a few more weeks. Seems school starts sooner each year !:smile: I'm ready to get back tho'. I'm finally exercising more now - not that I'm lovin' it , but I finally have the energy to do it. I try to walk 2-3 miles almost every day and have also started working out on our bowflex @ home. I added a new pic to my sig. and am finally able to see a change in me. Have a great time w/ what's left of our summer !:biggrin2:

You look fantastic, sounds like your very happy with yourself. Keep up the good work you're putting into yourself. Your picture, what a big change!

Thanks for the encouragement girls , I appreciate it !:biggrin2: I do feel good. My personality has become much more confident also. 2 weeks ago I got my nose pierced on the side - sounds crazy , but it's something I had wanted to do for a long time but didn't have the guts. It's just a small, discreet diamond, but I really like it. We'll see how my students react at school , ! I guess it's the musician in me, lol !:wink_smile: I'm getting ready to go for another fill next week. I think that makes 10 altogether. For me , I can tell when I start eating too much, and that time is now. I'd like to reach my goal this year , but we'll see. If not , that's ok too 'cause I know I'm alot healthier now , which was my goal. Well , I've gotta go. I'm working on my christmas program. Yes , I said christmas. My shows take a lot of planning since we dance & sing, costumes , etc. Have a great rest of the week ! Thanks again for the support !

Andrea,

You look fabulous. I love the hair too! We are busy living life. I know what you mean about school already starting. I love summers. You have done great with the band. What an inspiration you are.

We had fun on our cruise. I don't think I'm been back online since then.

Thanks Skinny ! I would love to go on a cruise. Maybe in the future. Right now I'm getting ready for my oldest daughter to start college this fall, with her 2 sisters to follow in a few years, so a cruise will have to wait. At least she received a tuition scholarship, which really helps. How did the band do for you w/ all the cruise food. Did you at least get to sample most of the goodies ?

Hey girls , things are going well now that school is back in full swing. I actually like getting back to work after being home with my whole family 24/7 all summer .:thumbup: My Dr. finally got his website up. It's richardfollwelldo.com. My pic. is under testimonies. That was fun to do , just wish we got compensated for the referalls. 2 of my teacher friends got banded in april and july after seeing my success. oh well , I am just thankful that I had the opportunity to get the band and that I've finally found something that actually works for me.:cry_smile:

I'm doing great. Glad someone is starting up this link again. I'm still not where I want to be but I've been a lazy butt and plan on kicking myself into high gear to shed the last of this weight. Hope everyone else is doing good.

well...... I was 331 ( I think) the day of surgery, lost down to 240 and creeped back up to 260. I'm working on being more active now. I'm still huge but I'm not over 300 huge so It's the best thing I've ever done. I'm so lazy and HATE to work out so I just have to kick my self in the arse.
