Marchies in September!!

I can't believe its been 6 months and everyone is doing so good. It will be amazing to see what everyone does in the next 6 months. I will be glad when the next 6 months goes by as we are entering winter months, which is always hard for me. I just don't like cold weather, so enjoy the nice weather that we are having right now.

Good luck to everyone and stay the course. We will make it together.

CAROL, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!! I hater the winter months but i am definitely looking forward to going shopping next summer for a new wardrobe after wearing big baggy heavy and bulky clothing... Wont that be fun imagine what 5/6mths could do

Juli- It seems that all I eat is Protein to tell you the truth. I can't do bread, rice or potatoes (unless they are mashed).

I usually have a salad w/meat or eggs or just the meat and a couple of veggies.

Any thoughts?

Nikki, Don't feel bad i have the same problem... I guess in our case (and i'm sure other bandsters as well) its just something we had to give up... But it is so worth it!!!

Jeni, sounds like your in starvation mode to me. I was watching biggest loser the other night the trainer said that that is a huge problem with people that our trying to lose weight. You have to eat so your body doesn't hold on to the fat and calories.

happy 6 month anniversary everyone, it sure has been interesting. I am soo glad I have this lapband on, now starts the time of year that I normally pack on the lb's.

Janine, i have heard of this but i simply don't have an appetite at work... then again i haven't had time go to the gym (which is making me completely droopy) ... But thats ok, I only got 60 more hours left .

My BMI is now 29! I am no longer considered "obese"!!!

TAMMYJ, Congrats!!!!!

I am planning on throwing a party when i reach one-lander!!!!! And another one when i am no longer considered obese!!!

Yippee and congrats again on reaching this wonderful milestone!!!!

Well, I decided to wait on my current school pics (yup, I'm a teacher) to reflect the before/after. I'm rather pleased. (except for the dopey tilt they do).

Hi I had my surgery on March 19, 2007. I love my band but wish I was losing faster. I have lost 30 lbs ( lowest I have been in 4 Years, so that is great!) I have had three fills so I am at 2.8 now. I can eat most anything, have had a few PB situations when I didn't chew well enough or tried to eat cold chicken or lamb from the refrigerator. I am eating about 1200 calories a day and working out at the gym 5 hours a week. I would love to have any suggestions for quicker weight loss.

Congrats to both of you Thickchick and Tammyj.

I am still holding at about 189-192 since I was unfilled in August and am still in size 18 (can get into a 16, but still to tight to wear all day). I go in for a refill on October 1, can't wait to get the ball rolling again so I can catch up with everyone else

I've increased my Protein by drinking Isopure in the am after my coffee and then having some cottage sheese for Breakfast. It's so strange because I don't loose for weeks and then I dro plike 2 lbs and then I don't loose again.

I need to excersise more!!

Ok, I'm done beating myself up.

Thanks!!!

Nikki...i'm with you here. I busted my butt last week exercising and the last few days nothing. Haven't dropped a pound in almost 2 weeks. I really need to stick to an exercise routine and i'm sure i'd be more consistant in my weight loss.

*****So when I started this journey I was Morbidly obese according to the BMI chart (42)....right now I'm Obese.(31.8) ...I only have 6 more lbs to go and i'll offically be "overweight!" (29.9)

Yee haw!

Hoping to get in one last trip out on the boat before we shrink wrap it for the winter, supposed to be around 80 degrees here on Sunday.

Everyone have a great weekend, probably talk to everyone in October!

[OH Juli 15]

I want to say WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at my half way mark! Look at my perfectly balanced ticker!

90 pounds since the first of the year has been a challenge and I'm sure the second 90 is going to be even more of one, but I'm so happy and so proud right now I just have to share!

Hey my sista Juli! I am so proud of you!!!!!
