Thanks for sharing,

I have been cleaning closest all weekend, also shopping in there too I found so many jeans I once could wear than couldn't, now I can!. Saves me a lot of money buying clothes because I still have to shop at the high end of clothing which are expensive. Cant wait to buy smaller clothing, that for me would be victory!!!

I get it now, eating 'normal'. My habits have changed tremendously since being banded. I know I still struggle and do find myself fighting with the hunger demons. I hope one day that changes so that I don't have to continue the constant battle daily...

Well put Terry

Congratulations!!!! this is happppy news!!!

LOVE IT!!! - Very True!

Floriday, there isnt a time i look at your pictures, your results, or your progress that does not go un-noticed from me! I may not personally write you, but I read every single one of your comments/advice on here.

So, from me to you all- I read and listen and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being great supporters!

(hugs)

Kime, I can't stress enough on this site how much everyone is different and we all have to follow to the beat of our own drum. No two are going to lose the same, no two will eat the same, no two will burn/lose the same. Its science, our bodies are not built the same and what works for one, does not neccessarily work for the other.

Keep doing what you are doing that works for you, because you are doing fabulous!

Ignorance is bliss so they say.......

This is really my favorite of all the flavored hummus! When i get lazy I buy Sabra, they make the best Red roasted pepper Hummus. I eat it daily!

Thanks for posting this

Hey Kime-lou,

There is a serious bunch of people on this site that need an attitude adjustment. They know who they are and instead of learning to 'adjust' their behavior they continue to verbally bully others.

Tough love should be given to your children, not total strangers who are 'vulnerable' looking to 'reach' out to anyone who can give them some direction, reassurance, comfort, and guidence. If they ask 'directly' a 'factual' reinforcement should be suggested ....in an appropriate manner.

I come from a long line of licensed and certified therapists and social workers. Our family does not talk to one another or display such ignorant behavior as I have seen in this community, a community that was created for everyone to come together and 'help' one another out.

There are many ways to communicate to someone without making them feel as if they are 'bad'. Belittling and berating doesn't help, especailly those who may be sensative or shy.

I would NOT speak to my child that way or my grandchild. Today was a comment left for a young man and honestly I was appauld at one of our community 'seniors' response back. I wonder to myself if this 'older' woman speaks to her grandchildren like that, if she has any that is.

Anyway, I have learned sooo much on this site about my surgery before, during, and after. As I continue to learn, I appreciate the wonderful advice from some of our bandsters who have succeeded before me and reached goal. Hence, I will continue to ignore the bullies and let them continue to make fools of themselves.....

Thanks for posting this Kime-lou!

That has to be a good feeling. I can't wait for the day I can walk without being in pain.

Congratulations to you!

You can do it!!! I can't wait to get the hell out of the 3's.....LOLOL

One pound out a time, thats all we can do...

Congrats on your success and to almost getting out of the 2's

<---- waiting

Patiently I might add, I know I shouldn't rush it because there is still many things I need to do before hand, but the waiting really bites! I have 3 more months and have done everything. Just purchasing and preparing myself, I guess that is all we can do for now.

Thank goodness I found this site to read and write. I have learned so much here from all you nice people

That is amazing!! what a nice surprise, I would of been shocked too!

Right now I only dream of the day I can squeeze my butt into a size 16!

Thanks for sharing

I love it!!! that is a great idea I will deff. have to run out and buy me colorful baby spoons too.

Waiting.... it has got to be the worse part! blah.....

Hang in there, I am waiting too

whooohooooo way to go!

Joining the Y this week, can't wait! I can only do water areobics as well due to my severe arthritis. I love the water so much, so this exercise I will enjoy

You can do it!

I can't wait for the day I can bend and actually tie my sneaker laces. If you all can relate to that.
