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.

It does!!!

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?

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!!!

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

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:

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

Good luck Southern Girl....I love my scale, it talks and give me the fat count..its also digital. Although there hae been plenty of mornings I wanted to throw it at someone.

Good Luck on your Journey!!

Hi Chriper, I had to have .25 removed yesterday also. I couldn't eat, drink or sleep. The acid reflux wass horrible. I don't want to lose weight this way. No I see why I'm losing slower that others. They can't be eating or drinking anything. I felt better b4 leaving the office. WHen I got home I tore that food up. I was sohungry and thristy.

And this 3rd fill is tight. I've seen the 2-80's, 70's, 60's and 50's....I'm now looking at the 40's. And I have not seen a 24. anything in over 10+ years. I feel amazing. Healthier. Stronger....Like NASA rebuild me. I'm not claiming these 40's to stick around long, b/c the 30's are inpatiently waiting. And I won't disapoint them.
