  1. has anyone else noticed new stretch marks after losing weight?

  2. anyone that wants to follow my progress weights and pics - feel free to add me on facebook "Swan's Journey"

  3. frustration has set in - I've been stuck at this same weight (within a couple pounds) and fighting to get out of the 240s for over a month!!!

  4. 40 lbs down since December and already loving my new life! So many things I can do without getting winded. Sex is wonderful (not that it hasn't always been great). Just afraid I may become addicted to shopping. I want to go shop a LOT now but I haven't really allowed myself to do too much. I don't want to splurge until I'm at goal. Til then, it's a few things here and there to get by.

  5. Probably won't be on much from now until Easter so Happy Easter everyone! Making a difficult trip to Iowa to visit family. My uncle, who is only 56, was diagnosed a few years ago with early onset alzheimers. He isn't doing well and I want to see him again before he completely forgets who I am. This is going to be a hard weekend. :( Let's hope I'm not too late

  6. Trying hard not to compare myself to others lately. I feel like everyone is losing more quickly than me. An average of 2 lbs a week is healthy, I know. Just trying not to get frustrated and fail this time too... anyone else understand that feeling?

  7. So after being stuck on the same weight (up or down the same 2-3 pounds) for 2.5 weeks, I've finally made it past that. I was a full 2 pounds below the yoyo pounds... which is great! I was getting really frustrated. I think I was losing better without this fill though. To get a 2nd on Thursday or not... that is the question

  8. I'm ready to measure again. It'll be two weeks tomorrow - sounds like time to me. The inches lost always encourage me. Wish the scale was bottoming out like some of you people but... I'm not supposed to compare right? lol

  9. Okay so I haven't been getting on here as much but I wanted to share. Last Thursday my husband and I measured (10 days after the first set of measurements). I was down 12.25 inches and 6.8 pounds! WOOHOO!!! I go for my first fill on Thursday. Ready for it but a little nervous. Keep up with me on Facebook - "Swan's Journey"

  10. Hey Nicole - good to see you are doing so well. My weight is similar to your starting weight and my goal is 180 so it's great to see that you're almost half-way to yours! Any suggestions?

  11. Hey! How are you? Hope all is well!

    Created a FB page for my journey - add me "Swan's Journey"

  12. Follow me on FB - Swan's Journey

  13. Follow me on FB - Swan's Journey

  14. Okay - I think I'm going to create a FB page for my weightloss journey (like a friend). Great idea... if I do, I'll let you know what it is... feel free to add me :)

  15. Banded and learning the new ways of life...

  16. Today is the day! On the way to the hospital now... See u on the other side

  17. So I'm officially 3 hours in to Christmas Eve, 3 days until banding, this is my last night to work for a week... I AM SO EXCITED!!!

  18. By this time next week - I will be a bander...

  19. I didn't get the chance to have the "talk" with my dad. My niece said, "Lala is having surgery..." Granted, she didn't know my dad didn't know and she's only 7. Poor thing was afraid I was mad at her. I guess she actually made my job easier...

  20. So the preop is no fun - but you're right... it does get easier. I feel okay today - except I can't eat or drink anything for another 6+ hours because I'm having my upper GI done in the morning. Maybe I should have followed my gut and just stayed home and slept tonight instead of coming to work... hmm.. oh well

  21. How are you feeling?

  22. Today I start my preop diet - I think I'm pretty prepared for it all...

  23. Thanks! My weekend was pretty good - other then fighting a stomach bug. It's snowing here - pretty rare for Tennessee in December. It's beautiful but I'm stuck at work :(

    How was your weekend?

  24. Impressive on the 5k - great job! I know everyone was super proud of you but the best is how good you felt I'm sure. Way to go!

  25. How did your 5k go? Was thinking about you
