Headed to the treadmill soon but wanted to say that I am officially out of the Obese BMI range! I never knew I would be so happy to be considered "overweight". Lol.

Feeling like I'm in the ZONE! What a difference it makes to your confidence! I thought I'd never get here!

Got a smidge more put in. This might be the one that does it. Here's hoping.

Coming up on my 1 year bandversary in two days. Should I be proud or dissapointed in the 40 lbs I have lost?? I feel like I could have been at goal by now but I'm not sure if that's realistic. Trying not to beat myself up too badly right now.

Only got a smidge put in. Haven't eaten anything solid yet. Hoping I didn't waste my time again.

Going back in on Friday. Let's see if my doctor gets it right this time!

Went in for a fill. Came out with .1 cc's LESS!! What a waste of my F****** time!!! I'm so angry!

Doing better after a mental adjustment. Thinking I may still be eating too much volume of food. Going back on the 9th for my 6th fill.

Starting to slip back into old habits. I have been consistently exercising but my eating is still an issue. I can't stop sneaking junk food!! I'm seeing a therapist but it doesn't seem to help. Any one else had this problem and conquered it? I could use some motivation right now!

Found a pair of jeans in my drawer. Tried them on, they fit!!

After a week of hard dedication and work I have officially made it to Onederland!!!! SO HAPPY!

I'm taking responsibility for my recent hiccups with the band. I will make a better effort to choose more wisely and optimize what my band can do for me. It's so easy to just blame the band but this time...I think it's me.

Since my last fill, experienced maybe 7 sliming incidents. I'm not liking this and thinking maybe I should get some taken out. I never experienced this until after my last fill! It's scary and painful!

OMG!! I can fit into my size 16 jeans again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just realized that if I can get to 185 by the end of the year I will be halfway to my goal!!! I'm gonna do it!

208 today! Yahoo! Only 9 lbs away from getting under that stupid 200lb mark!!!

Started working out now that my job offers free gym time. Going to hit it again tomorrow. Trying to get to Onederland before Thanksgiving.

210.2 this morning!! So excited to see a zero at the end there! Can't wait for Onederland!!

@ 6.2 after my 3rd fill on Tues. I didn't think it was much of a difference until eating breakfast this morning. Whoa.

going in on the 2nd for my third fill. It only lasts a week or so before thing seem to taper off. We'll see how I do after another one.

I just noticed your links on your about me page. I have that bandwagon book and have really been inspired by that Dr. Simpson site. Those tips are very helpful aren't they? Seeking restriction is like chasing after a phantom. Keep up the good work! You are really inspiring to me! :-)

5.6CCs now and boy can I feel it!! We'll see how I do but I might need to get some taken out. Perhaps I'm just swollen though.

I've made strides since adopting some simple changes to my daily routine and attitude about what the band will and will not do for me. I feel great. I feel back in control and ready to get this weight off of me!!

This article had a strong effect on me. I have made some concrete positive changes that I think will drive me toward success. Once you let go of the idea that the band will tell you when to stop eating (restriction), you can focus on what's really important...being less hungry after eating small amounts.
