My cashier at the supermarket calked me skinny WTh me skinny she hasn't seen me in a few weeks but it felt great. I'm getting to my goal and never to return again to 297 . Last night I tried on a large yes I said large no xxl not xl large jumpsuit at new and company and it fit !!!! Now if I was a tad taller it would of looked great but it Effin fit woo hoo !!!!

Up for you yes bandista !!! The truth is we are eating better and exercising more that's what I tell people. Fearful they will know the truth but the band isn't the easy way out its a tool and we all need tools so just like I don't brag I take a Vitamin everyday i do t brag about my band I did this for me so the hell with everyone else. Yes the compliments are hard sometimes for the reason you listed but as I cont to work hard I enjoy the acknowledgement for my hard work. This is my journey for me no one else matters perhaps if input myself first years ago I would have been 297lbs but that was then this is now

It's mine !!! Can't wait to lose these 10lbs I'll be happy with 199.9 just as long as this 2 is gone !!!!

Great number and great work ! You are putting the work in and you will reach ur goal slow and Steady still wins the race. The difference Btwn this and past attempts is the band . It will help you as you listen and learn to live with it. I was banded 7-1-13. N I kno I will never be that 293 woman again. The difference is the band it reminds me if I over eat n for that I am certain I will maintain this loss and so will you.

210.8 down .6 should of weighed on before having sushi last night n salt lol

Ahhhhmazzing I think with the band it's how we work it as well. Great work and always thanks for continuing to motivate n inspire me

I take 5000 mg daily and use nioxin shampoo I was afraid of losing my hair I don't notice any loss but I also make sure I eAt enough protein daily and take my vitamins

My amazing friends n family and you all here. Couldn't make it through this journey without you.

Stayed the same 211. Didn't met my weight goal but my body is definitely looking leaner. Onederland I will get there slow and steady. Guess my body is slowing down with the weightloss but I will continue on my journey knowing this plateau will pass eventually I'm more than halfway to my goal 83 down 60 to to go. Definitely a different person physically and mentally from this time last year so it's a win this month as well

Great job ur amazing

The gas will end I promise it took me 2 weeks to feel normal again. I gave been using coconut oil as my cream not sure if it is helping with the loose skin. I work out cardio and weight train 6-7 days a week. Dint know if it's my age or my luck or life but I see plastic surgery in my future a full body tuck or something like that . Don't worry this is ur journey you will get there and if u have saggy skin well thanks to medical technology you can get a nip tuck best of luck

Ahh the new bras I swear my boobs are deflating like balloons with a pin hole In it. but the upside is you can't notice so much in clothes and well I'm saving for my boob job after I hit goal lol

Awesomeness

A victory is a victory !!! N yes ur body is changing even if the scale isn't

Congrats on a awesome milestone loss 100

A few NSV this weekend doing burpees at the gym n running without dying . Having a extremely fit person at the gummtell me how great I'm doing and how far I have come that was awesome . Bought a size 14 trousers at kohls n holy crap they fit . A little snug but in a few weeks will be perfect . N wearing size 16 skinny jeans no more plus size stores for me it's lovely shooing in same section as my best friend who never was a plus size new me problems clothes falling off.

Congrats and looking awesome

Feb 1 212 Feb 8 211.8 Feb Goal 204... Slow and steady but down is down sigh

Awesome look good

Great work . Keep documenting with pics it will amaze you at how far you have come woo hoo

I hit a one too. N I looked at like this if I stay the course it will work out and It did. It was mind boggling because like cg said my body was changing and not the scale. During January people were commenting on how much I lost on past few weeks these are people who see me daily and I'm like sigh no scale not moving then I said eff it and started saying thank you. When my scale stopped doing the up down pound dance it then didn't love for weeks then bam it's going back down. Just stay the course and if your truly monitoring I love the my fitness pal app it will all work out .

Great inspiring post. Been Mia for a while just living life. My NSV is my overall change in my thinking. Had a bump in the road of dating found out me wonderful well was not so much and the old me would of harped to figure out why and after a month or so gotten over it . The new me within two days is moving forward slightly bruised but not looking back. I got banded to be healthier which resulted in me being happier which resulted in me truly not settling less than I deserve . I know people say it hell I said it but settled this time no settling. Which I'm over the moon about to be living what I have been preaching lol... On a gym note I'm doing burpees wth can't do a lot but I'm doing them and each time I do it I'm in awe that I'm doing it. Sept 2013 couldn't do it and know I'm doing several during my classes. I beam in Btwn gasping for air as I'm working out not cause I can't do the workout but because I keep pushing my limits to be a healthier person. My trainer doesn't know about the lap band but his encouragement n motivation has transformed my body as well he pushed and believed in me when I sure I couldn't do the workouts. Now I'm a gym rat lol

Congrats and thank you. Reading your post just like bandista has mentioned is extremely helpful to me in my journey as well...

Picking myself n moving forward ...

I've been dating a guy for 2 months he is a great guy have I told him I'm banded hell no. When we got out I order soup or foods I know for sure I can handle. I told him from first date I eat very clean and that I think covers my odd choices. Even told him I juice 1x a month to cover my fills when I really can't eat anything. He offered to juice with me on those weeks as well. Super sweet but don't know when I'll tell him if I will... It's a big issue for me very few people I know know from my mouth I have been banded . Even At 38 yrs old first dates are nerve wracking just have fun on ur next date
