if you look in the dictionary, your name/picture would be next to the word success. WeLL done so far and great blog.

i can believe you lost it. congrats and you go girl. well done

i am now eating to lose weight..the band totally helps me with the amount...i do my part by eating better foods ( Proteins, fruit and veggies).....nothing from a box......options are there...up to the person to choose better options...baked vs fried...no wls will stop a person from eating anything.. a person MUST decide to make changes...no dieting needed...and until a person accepts that, no wls will work, thanks for a nice post topic.

good to see you back

walking....free....easy...gorgeous scenery and good for you i took it for granted and never again...i relish it...thanks for this blog posting it was right on eye candy

losing 20 pounds is great and i dont consider that a failure and the more negative you are, the more miserable you will be.. ...so you and band are obviously working...20 pounds is a great start.. if you dont want that, i will take it.. if you are hungry, EAT.....eat more protein, drink more and stay busy.. what to do now...keep pushing forward on exercising and eating better food and believe in yourself....the band wont work miracles...it will help. i wish i could offer more but dangit, i believe in YOU now you need to.

where we (came from....the past) will take us to where we are (going) headed to our future

you may be (bad) NOT to me but i love ya no matter what eye candy

wishing you luck bear

you did not gain weight overnight and you wont lose it overnight until you accept that, you are only making yourself looloo.......so stop a loss is a loss no matter how big or small and its not a contest......you get to your healthy weight in your own time look at how good you are doing you are doing it........so cut yourself some slack woman

doing great chasing.....sip and sip and keep on sipping giving your body time to heal is vital but you know the rules already and are working it.....hang in there, each day it gets easier. hugs/kisses to the fam as they are super stars in my eyes too for helping you.

eye candy......what a great post i sure hope everyone reads it........and maybe just maybe the people that truly need to read it ....will

you took that first step to better health.....not just with surgery but with a here is how we do it attitude.....you will do just fine..... some shoes for you to keep on walking to better health GF

to both of YOU

enjoyed reading your blog and viewing your pictures. thanks for sharing and def keep up the great work

if you look at success in the dictionary i read.......it says eye candy in boston love ya GF

hey jim i read this last night and wanted to respond but on my lap top at home with my long nails its hard for me to type (fast/alot) so i waited til i got back to work..your progress is amazing....you know from our convo's you are one of my inspirations and i am sooooooo proud of you....your wife has the BEST example of a success story...tell her i said so i find if we say i am gonna do this a certain number of times, we tend to stress and if we dont, we stress more and then it consumes us.... i think if you work out (when you can), it will count as you know, i am in agreement with you....everything we do movement wise counts.....us larger BMI people took things for granted..... so dont get caught up on a set number of times per week just do what you can, when you can.......that is what you have told me before......i remember that work is crazy......i dont have time to do much of anything and when i get home i want to crawl into a hot bath, then my bed and go to sleep....some days i walk....some days i do my aerobics, some days i dont.......i just do what i can.......i eat good, let the band work and stay positive and focused........just LIKE YOU ARE saggy skin, i feel ya but my ole man said to me would i rather be fat with tight skin (well over 300+ ) or nearly under 200 and some saggy skin.....give me sag any day love ya virginia

wonderful blog and GREAT suggestions ......why are they great? they obviously work.....just look at your before/after. all the best love

your house is really pretty take care of yourself

have a great/safe trip.... i bet it is gorgeous there.......so jealous i am but enjoy (and keep smiling) eye candy
