Wow...Your husband and mine must be BFF's. Cause mine acts the same way a times. We argue about something totally different and he slids in "you think you all that". Not sure what that is about. But I do me. And I love putting me 1st for a change. And I'm not @ goal weight yet. But with the weather change, I'll be there in no time. I have about 38 more pounds to lose. And look forward to losing every one. I'm adding you as a friend. Cause one day we will have a lot to talk about. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Thanks Diane!!

Congrats!!! I remember losing my first 30 lbs and my walking was faster and sexier. I have 47 more lbs to my goal. If I'm happy with just 37 lbs, I'll leave it @ that. My Dr. wants me to get down to 170, and its been over 25 yrs since I've been that weight. I started @ 285 and never thought I would be to where I am today. Just take it one day/pound @ a time. You'll get there. I am

Good for you. What an beautiful feeling. My favorite quote to date is I don't like skinny women. And I was 12 lbs heavier than I am now. Keep it up. I sure am.

You work on losing your 100 lbs. Make it a contest with yourself to prove them wrong. They have the band and still jealous.

You're on. I too have gotten lazy w/exercise. Now I'm ready to get back on track. See u @ the finish line.

Oh and for the gas pains, walk and take chewable Gas-X. It helped me a great deal.

Good for you. And so it begins. Best of Luck to you. If you;'re not sure of something, just ask. You'll find a lot of experience here. I'm still learning.

I just read this post and these tips will definelty come in hand. I think I just got over a bad blockage because I lost 11 pounds in 9 days. Boy do I feel much better today. I couldnt eat or drink anything. And the night time acid reflux was killing me. I finally broke down and brought some more Prevacid. I took one last night before dinner and didnt have any issues last night. I sleep like a Queen. Prevacid is the only acid blocker that works for me.

To hear the words, "What's up Skinny". And then 5 minutes later to hear from someone else, "I don't like skinny women." And I'm still in the 200's. Wonder what I'll hear when I get to 170?

It does!!!

Girl, you need to go get your eyes checked. There is a big difference. Look again. Your face and body are smaller. But trust me, I do know how you feel. Cause when I look I think I look the same @ times. But this morning, I could really see I've lost 61 lbs. You doing great.

Smaller feet to go with your smaller body. Good for you. I've always worn a size 10 shoe, even when I lost week b4. But something tells me it will be different this time. Looking for @ least to go to a 9.

Woke this morning in the 220's. And I couldn't be more happier. Especially knowing the 2 teens are a within reach. Have a blessed day all. I sure am,.

Now I have a "THEY FIT" crying friend. You go Gurl!!! I know that feeling and its AWESOME!!!!

Two weeks ago I had a good NSV by fitting into a 18 size skinny jeans thinking they wouldnt fit and did. This week a new middle number has been recorded. On my way to a 60 pound lost. Feeling better that I can ever remember when I weighed this much over 20 years ago. I'm so motivated right now and can only pray this continues. Have a good week all!!!

I brought a pair of skinny jeans last week. Size 18. I don't ever remember buying that size before its been so long. When I held them up, I thought, well maybe next month I should be able to fit them. But I tried them on, and they came right up and buttoned. No sucking in. I wanted to cry. Literally. I ran and showed my husband. I'm trying on 16 this week just to see how they would feel. There are days I hate this band and days I'm in love with it. Today, I'm loving it like McDonald's. :wub:

Thank you all. Your words are surely keeping me motivated.

Sorry to hear how you're being treated. My Drs. name is Hitesh Amin. His staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. He's located in MD. I hope he is able to assist you. The office number is 301-292-7200 Good Luck
