  7. The Definition of Results Are: The consequence of a particular action, operation, or course; an outcome. The Definition of Consistency: Reliability or uniformity of successive results or events: ​Which one do you want from your weight loss, Results or Consistency?? ​Not Sure But if You Choose Results, Just Remember that Results are Subject to Change but Consistency Remain the Same!! Reliable Over a Period of Time!!! Love You Hugs from Sharon!!! :wub:

  13. No Matter if We Are Talking About Weight Lost or the struggles in Life!! Learn to Be Stronger in Affliction!! I Know this may not be what some of you want to hear right now!! But Please Know that God Works At His Greatest When You Suffer and You Are Afflicted!! The Lost That We Had Suffer these Past Days, Months, Years Has Only Taught Me!! To Learn From My Affliction, My Struggles, and Pain, So That I may Learn From Them and Grow Stronger and Move Forward!! BETTER PREPARED!! God Always Knows What He Is Doing!! Psalm 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes. My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Love All of You!

I Love All of You Bandsters, CarolinaGirl, Maddysgram, Bignuff, to name a few, and all others!!!!!! Happy Saturday!!!
  15. Learn to Sometimes Be Content with the Weight that You already have lost, and Stop Being so hard on yourself!! When You compare yourself to Others you never get the full benefits of your own struggles!! What works for for one person may not work for another!! Its the little things that matter!!! I see some have started this journey out loosing over 100 pounds and others only ten pounds its not the weight you gained or the weight you lost it matters that your trying to be healthy and that all you can do is try. God will give you the strength and the wisdom to succeed!! Always be content because the the room for advancement is growth to keep trying.. Love all of you, even those who feel I'm to Spiritual; I will bring the word of God again tomorrow so get used to it or ignore me!!
  16. I Love This Scripture Please Remember it Today!!!! Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. This Scripture States; To Always be Careful of People who speak well about you for it may not be true in their Hearts!! They may be a False Prophet waiting for your down fall!!! or Failure with this Lapband Process!!! Love You Happy Wednesday!!!
  17. If You are Trying your Best and People are Still putting you down, Please Rememeber to Just Ignore those People and Dont Pay Them Any Attention!! Its When You Give People Attention who are Negative, You GIve Them POWER!!!!! YOUR DOING JUST FINE!!!! Hugs Enjoy Your Day!!! Sharon
  18. Learn to Be Mindful about what you eat and consume Today!! Remember its called the LapBand Not The Miracle All You Can Eat Cure!!! If You Eat Anything, Then the band will begin to Consume Anything and Restrictions Become a Thing of The Past!! Dont Beat Yourself Up!!! No No, If You Happen to Have Eaten More then you should have yesterday, Then Today or for the Next Couple of Days Go To Liquids. Its Up To You Have Sucessful This Band Can Be!! Love All of You Smooches!!!!
  19. Thanks Carolinagirl!!!! Hey how is Maddy doing???
  20. Please Read!!!!! Today; When Your Back is Up against the wall,when people try to mess up your day,when you want to over eat knowing your on a diet,or it will mess up your Lap Band, And People are pushing you to Go Back to that habit!! Just remember that all these things are designed to mess with your head and keep a negative strong hold on you! But I got a Remedy for You!!! " CALL ON THE NAME OF JESUS"!!! 2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Have a Great Day!!!
  21. I Don't Care Who Tries To Steal Your Shine!! Learn to Live Life On Purpose!! For Every Item or Thought Seen Someone Had a Vision Behind It!!! It Makes No Sense To Wake up Everyday and Be Mechanical Based on Everyone Else Being Skinny!!!!!! Just Remember That If You Have Haters Pushing You, Take That Advantage and Do More!!! Don't Just Live By Everyone Else's Guidelines Live Out Your Own!!! Remember If You Have the Thought to Get Healthy and Stay Trim, Then God Will Give You The Tools To Put That Work In Order!! Just Ask Him!!! It Would Be a Shame to Die and Let Someone Else Take Your Greatness!!! Get Off Your Butt and Shine!! Regardless!!
  22. Wow After All This Time, My Topics Are Still Causing Controversy! I Hope I am At Least Helping Everyone to Achieve Their Goals and Loosing Weight!!! I Hope I am At Least Encouraging or Discouraging Some Of You With My Beliefs System In God Enough to Make This Lap Band Work For You!!! OH I Love God!! Happy Sunday!!!!
  23. No Matter What Hang In There!! When Times Get Rough Take Yourself Out the Equation and Think of The People Who Are The Opposite Of Us Suffering from Bulimia and Anorexia!! We Have a Big Advantage! The lap Band!!! Learn to Thank God for the Little Things and He will send a Miracle your way!! Just Because You Appreciate the Struggle!!! If It Does Not Come With a Struggle You Shouldn't Want It!!! Defeat that Food Giant Today!!Oh Happy Friday, All, Bignuff, CarolinaGirl, and Maddysgram!!!
  24. Not to get anyone upset but lately I have been noticing negative postings on how the lap band has failed so many people or people are not getting and seeing the results. And I understand that this website has been designed to place both positive and negatives venues. But I caution you to be a little more senstive to the person that considering giving up because you have choose to walk away. its Ironic but Negative follows Faster then Postive Attitudes. I urge Someone today who wants to give up to stay on the Path and Dont Give Up Never. If you dont see results then try something else, but keep trying!! And One day when you get it right, then you will be glad that you did!! What Works for Someone Else May Not Work For You!! God has made each and Everyone Fearfully, and Wonderfully Marvelous, In Their Own Way!! Love Each of You!! Hope I didnt Offend Anyone!!! Sharon
  25. Stop Looking to Other People for Validation and Learn to Encourgae Yourself!! Believe it or Not Thats Why God gave You Authority for Wisdom, Grace, and Faith so that You could Use It!! If You are Not getting the Results you want then find another way to achieve your Goals instead of Giving In or Up!! Learn to Give the Dam Thing a Fight!!!! Learn to Encourage Yourself!!!!
