I dont no where i'd be without this forum. I can come here for advice, recommendations, what not to do, etc. I like we are all dealing with this together but in our seperate lives. I feel like this is my place, my people lol.

Looks great I may try this soon.

Congrats on your continued success

I agree completely. My sister is a twig and once asked if i was supposed to be eating something, i just looked at her. I do not think anyone can understand what the band is like unless they have a band, doesnt know how it feels to be overweight if they never been. Heck if i want a piece of cake i will have one!! Unless MY BAND says otherwise NO ONE else lol. I believe in moderation not depriving yourself to the point you go crazy and have a huge binge on everything. Its good to start changing eating habits now, but when your banded you are putting 100% into it

Good luck. You must be getting excited to be getting so close.

Congratulations on all your hard work

Awesome job!!

Diet hot chocolate is a great "snack"

Thats right get your workout on

The hardest part is finding a perfect outfit then saying goodbye so soon after, luckily if you bargain hunt you can find similar clothes. But hey what girl doesnt like to shop in the womens section. I used to get stares when i would have to wonder in the plus section.

I had some of my old favorites from 10 years age still tucked away, hoping one day they would fit. Some jeans do , some im still working on. I love to try on clothes now and they are too big.

I can tell the diffrence in the two. You look great keep up the good work

Rock that size 8 girl, you deserve it!!

Welcome to bandland. Take it one day at a time.

Oh I know, as long as im doing my part I will see that scale move again.

Yes it has been 6 months. I am the same weight this visit as last visit so my weight didnt move. I am gaining muscle and losing fat.

I agree. I dont want aggressive fills! I just want someone to listen to me. For me its just a matter of having a PA that is very very conservative or a PA that is a little more aggressive. I tried the Conservative PA and she does not like to give any fills, not saying I need a fill every month I am seen, but, if I feel that I need a fill it should at least be discussed and not ignored. I did recieve a fill yesterday of .5 cc. I have to wait until it settles in to see where I am at. I workout like crazy and count everything I eat. I take in average 100+ Protein each day. I am working full speed at 100% everyday and there is nothing more I want but to succeed.
