beckymein1021 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Little Nan, welcome!! Well, I have weighed the same for the past week, so I'm not progressing as quickly on the challenge, but I'm going to keep plugging away. Went to get my 3rd fill yesterday and the doctor didn't want to give me a fill because he said I'm losing weight just fine without another one. I was surprised, but since I'm leaving the country in 2 weeks, he didn't want to take a chance. How are the other challengers doing? I'm still at 228, but drinking Water like crazy! Here's to success!! -Becky:wink2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

new_me_2008 1 Posted January 24, 2008 I am down 30 now and I am so happy! I was a tight 18 (even if the material is strechy)and today I am wearing 14 pants and 14 dress shirt from Ann Taylor (which is not strechy) I feel so great. Yesterday at work people were starting to say 'are you losing weight - you look great!' Finally people are noticing which makes me feel even better. Now, the next goal is 7 pounds. Once I get those pounds off I will be halfway to goal. Amazing! Love my band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nip50 2 Posted January 29, 2008 dlyrical - You're doing great! How's it going since your 2nd fill. I noticed you have 7cc in a 14 cc VG band. I have the same band, but with only 3 cc's. I'm hoping to get another fill next month. Do you have much restriction so far? Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
