I've been offline for a very long time... Just wanted a few lovely guys and gals to know that I'm checking up on them. And, for the most part, it sounds like everyone is doing very well! Congrats! xoxo

3 months ago I had a complete unfill. Today I am 20 lbs heavier. :?

Thanks everybody. I had my complete unfill today and I feel MUCH better. But, it's going to be a real challenge for the next couple months. :/

Thursday I go in for a complete unfill! I pray i feel better but im so scared ill gain weight. Please send your positive vibes my way. I've worked so hard - i just cant imagine my life fat again. :/

In a little over a month it will be my 1 year banniversary...

I don't get online nearly as often as I should. But it's nice to see that so many of my lapband friends are doing well!!

Ugh! This last 10 lbs. (now 15, as of this week!!) is killing me!

I'm feeling optimistic again!! I can actually see muscle defintion... and my "finish line" is in sight!

Eating too many sweets!! Up 2 lbs. this week.

I'm only about 15 lbs. away from goal!! I might revisit my "goal" weight after I reach it, but for now... it's terribly exciting to think about!!

I haven't been very active on Lapband lately, but I'm still checking in now and again. Looks like my friends are all still making remarkable progress!!

Today was my first day training for a 5K! Pretty exciting stuff.

5 lb. loss this week!!! I knew I was feeling thinner! I've reached a very important goal for me...

I hope on Monday's weigh-in the scale reflects how much thinner I feel.

Yowza! Crazy day of eating. It's almost scary to me just how easy it is to slip up if I'm not fully focused. Sad really.

I so desperately want to be reclassified "overweight" and leave the obesity category forever!! So close and yet so far... :/

It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's when transformation happens. Or, so I'm hoping!!! :/

Most of my clothing is officially too baggy! Great news, but that also means that what I have left in my closet is either too big or seriously outdated! Now I need $$ for shopping. :0?

Rosie the Riveter believes in us!!

Hi HD! I just wanted to tell you that I was looking through your gallery photos today... and first of all, I'm so glad you have them on here to share (heck, I'm glad you have as many "before" photos as you do... as you know, finding before pics of most of us is not easy. lol). More importantly, your success has been fabulous!! It's stories and photos like yours that make this site SO inspirational... and dreams more tangible. You look like you feel amazing!...

Officially hit the 60 lb. loss mark!! Only about 40 lb to go. I'm so happy. This hasn't been easy, but being obese was/is even more difficult.

This losing weight thing... is like a dream come true!!

I reached goal! Haha... not really. But, this morning I officially reached "a" goal.
