That's awesome. I try to remind myself that if I wasn't fat I wouldn't have done this surgery. I think I liked to believe that people didn't see my fat before lol it's great that we can take compliments even if they aren't wrapped up all pretty. Great job on your journey!!

What an awesome feeling! Congrats!

You look fabulous!! Keep it the great work!

Thanks for the encouragement and support

I use the Anita sports bras. They are amazing at a size 34E (they use euro sizing) and were just as amazing at a 38H. They are available on barenecessities.com. http://m.barenecessities.com/anita-maximum-control-wire-free-sports-bra-5527_product.htm?pf_id=Anita5527&search=&manual_cm_sp=SlotLocation-_-R1C1-_-Anita5527 http://m.barenecessities.com/anita-maximum-control-sports-bra-5519_product.htm?pf_id=Anita5519&cm_sp=topsportsbras-_-2.2-_-Anita5519

I just finished week 11 of p90x. I love it. Didn't do so great eating right during the holidays but I am definitely stronger and can see definition because of the workouts. The time commitment is huge though. I bought the p90x3 to do next. Looking forward to 30 min workouts. way to go!! You never would've convinced me that I would be finishing p90x a year and a half ago lol

I was reflecting on the same exact thing this new years. I set my goals to be more diligent about taking my medications. Its a great feeling to be "free" of the burden and know that I am reaching those goals already.

Last night we were at the mall and I was VERY hungry. Silly me decided not to eat a snack before heading out of the house and just wait till we went to dinner. I ordered some spinach and cheese dip as an appetizer and because I was so hungry, forgot to pay attention to how big my bites were and how much I was chewing. Before I knew it I was STUCK. Usually, I can wait it out and it will pass but I must have eaten too much for that. I found myself in the restaurant bathroom "throwing it back up". Unfortuntately since it was a busy Saturday night the bathroom kept getting crowded and I couldn't get it all up. After watching my family eat their delicous looking dinner and a tortorous drive home, I was finally able to get to my own bathroom. It took 3 more PBs to get it all up. So not fun...So it will be liquids for me today and possibly tomorrow as even drinking my morning coffee this morning is a slow process. So why am I sharing this?? It is definitely NOT to scare people off. I LOVE my band. I have lost almost 90 pounds. I exercise 6 days a week. I can buy clothes at ANY store. I would totally get it done all over again and recommend it as the best tool for weight loss. BUT you have to follow the rules no matter how hungry you are. Take your time and chew well. I want to give new and old bandster a FRIENDLY reminder so their bands don't give them an unfriendly one.

You're an inspiration! Thank you for sharing. Keep up that great work!

Lookin great!! Congrats!!

That's wonderful! Congrats

That's always ok ???? thank you!!

thank you I started at 255 and have lost 85-87 pounds depending on the day. My goal is 150 although I'm pretty happy where I am right now.

I just finished Focus T25 with Shaun T. It's intense but a great 25 minute workout. I like to workout first thing in the morning and can't be out of the house because of the kids so these workout programs are great for me. I like knowing exactly what workout to do and not have to think something up. I have also done INSANITY with Shaun T. I used my Xbox kinect to do ea sports active and UFC trainer and dance central. You can do Zumba videos if you like to dance. Find a workout program that is structured but seems fun.

Lookin fabulous girl!!

For as long as I can remember I have loved the skinny jeans and knee high boots look. This weekend I finally found a decent pair of skinny jeans and today I wore my knee high boots with them. I was so excited to be able to pull this look off!!

Way to go!! That's a great accomplishment

That's so cool!! Congrats!!

Try it remember that if you want to be a success at anything it takes work and determination. I have had to track my calories and exercise daily to get where I am. And for most if us it's the same. I think a lot of us got banded thinking we would have to do those things (or at least the tracking calories) to be successful but the reality is we got to this place because we have issues with over eating or eating all the wrong things. That is something that takes a lot of awareness to change. If you don't have support from your drs office WE are here for you.
