georgia girl 35 Posted July 14, 2008 WTG Renewed! It's amazing how we cherish these little things that many people have never had to worry about. It makes the journey so special when things like that happen. Looks like the Couch to 5K is paying off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted July 19, 2008 silly me - i just realized this was a sept 07 thread i subscribed to...i'm just a few wks away:wink_smile: being banded in oct 07 ... i think this is such a great thread, probably one of my fav!!! today i got called tiny. i KNOW i'm short at 5'1 standing upright - but for a neighbor to tell me i'm so petite made me giggle from my toes to my nose...LOL make no mistake - i got thighs for DAYS, and can be the best nut cracker for the holidays, but am thrilled they're getting solid vs swinging on their own, along w/the butt that could have qualified for it's own zip code. congrats to everyone here, !!!

(even though this makes me so mad bc what am I going to wear!) -I have so much energy -I saw a guy checking me out the other day. OMG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs J.J 2 Posted July 20, 2008 This has to be my most favorite thread on Lapband! I have smiled at each one of your achievments. Well done everyone. I am still very much in the early stages of my weight loss but I have 3 NSV´s that I am proud of so far. 1. I can wear both my wedding band and engagement ring on my finger. Before I could barely wear the ring. (Although my "real" wedding ring is waiting patiently for me to get smaller so I can wear the real diamonds again. 2. I bought a pair of 3/4 jeans a few months ago and the waist was so tight I couldn´t do up the zip. They now fit and look so good, my DH was checking out my a$$ yesterday and loving the way it looked. 3. Another pair of jeans that I bought, I could fit into them but they were so uncomfortable that I didn´t wear them. They are now lose fitting. I love these little achievements.

renewedhope 4 Posted July 31, 2008 Today I was driving down the road and DS was sitting in the front passenger seat. He kept looking at me then he said, "Mom, I don't think that lapband thing was supposed to work so fast!" He said that I am officially 81% to being "hot". He is sooooo much like my DH. They both crack me up!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
