Great work!!

it sucks but its not his choice. and we are here for u hugs

thanks jamilyne I do have support but it crazy as much support as I have one rude comment just wipes it all out.. went to dr for a fill yesterday and he felt that I am doing good so that turned it all around. In the end i am doing this for me. I love this site beyond wotds. i jsut come here and read others post because for the most part everyone is so encouraging and can relate. @zingythingy... it is hard people think this is the magic poor u wake up being 120 lbs like that. i nipped plociing years ago when i was weight watchers my reply was I am an adult i know what I can and can not have and what works for you doesnt work for me and that shuts them up... If u sit back and look at others then are so quick to comment when they themseves are doing the "wrong" things... my smile is back my motivation and confidence is back... I often wonder who I am sometimes liek now as Im researching heart monitors and making my plans around spinn classes. I love the change the band as caused in me not just weight wise..

thanks I m going to look into both of them this weekend. I just want a accurate calorie count. Fit bit only had me burning 150 calories at spinn when in fact it was like 600. I just want to track what im doing and see that scale go down im on a mission to be healthy and fit!!

Ok thanks a little disappointing but it is what it is

Insanity wow !! I just statutes t 25 on day 3 after these 25 days I might try insanity. For sore muscle try taking a bath with Epsom salt.

Great job. Starting is the hardest and u are doing it!!! High five

Any suggestions on what heart rate monitor to buy. I want a very accurate estimated of calories burned during working out. I just did Shaun t focus 25 n my fit but only calculated 125 calories although I am dripping in sweat lol. Saw on a website that that workout burbs 369 calories. So I wanted to track my actual calories burned thanks in advance for your suggestions. Nicole

Way to go woo hoo

It is amazing !!! I just got a fill today so 4cc in 10cc band can't wait to see more progress. I really do love this band!!!

people are so rude end of story.. unles su ahve walked in my shoes pelase keep ur comment to urself thats why i love this forum we have all walked this walk

Thanks I will Tom is a new day

Ur right but still annoys me lol

What the hell is wrong with people. A good family friend just commented that she thinks I'm eating too much cause I go out and eat. I must of missed when she got her nut license lol. she thinks that u must starve urself to diet. Now I track all my calories 1000-1200 a day and work out 3-5 days a week spinning burning 600 calories each class. Plus some walking n weight training on non spin days I have lost 39 lbs in 3 months!! Pats self in back with a huge smile!! Do I go out and eat absolutely do I eat a app entree n desert not really maybe a taste of app n a few bites of my entree and never take left overs home!! A friend two weeks ago who doesnt know about my wls commented how little I eat...How rude are people. People think I'm supposed to lose 50 lbs a month this is why I limited who I told. I told her I count for everything I put in my mouth. N I'm a not perfect but I sure am trying my best. This is not the comment I want to hear after getting up at 5 am to workout before work n work a long stressful draining 12 hour day. I needed to vent and feel only you all will understand. It baffles me how even comments that come from a place of concern and love are so rude... I love the latest from a coworker so glad ur losing weight u look so much better ..really wtf I was cute before my weight did not define who I am. I had this surgery cause every diet I tried for 27 years I have failed out and don't want to have a heart attack like my dad and die at 45 years old. People are so rude my patience and caring is less and less as I become happier and healthier.and putting myself first in my lifetime.. Thanks for listening gets off soapbox.....

Banded July 1 and best decision ever !!!down just shout 39 lbs doing great hope all my other July buddies are doing good:)

254.6 gained .4 not sure how spinning 5 days a week n eating 1200 calories I'm sure it will come off soon. Must drink more water

Weighing in at 254. 2 Week away but managed to still loss. Love this band !!!

Great NSV!!!

I agree with the above post. I had the same freak out moment before the surgery. 2 months later banded 7/1/13 best decision I made. There are some food like grape to tomatoes and pork that I can't eat but I eat everything else. Some foods i could careless about eating like my all time favorite cheesecake... just no desire. your mind set changes its crazy. I see food as a necessity not an addiction anymore (if that makes sense) I could care less what I eat as long as it is high in protein and low in everything else!! Eating 80g of protein n less than 1100 calories a day is my focus now !! The band and my mindset forces smaller quantities and I choose better quality. This weekend I was away in Vegas. Did we go out every night for gourmet dinner absolutely. Did I eat yes but only a few bites and last night here even had dessert!! I made sure to hit the gym and tracked my calories the best I could. Can't wait to get home n see the scale I actually doubt I gained weight and if u did I made the best choices I could minus not drinking enough water .... A friend who is with us in Vegas n doesn't know about the band commented how little I eat!! By far the healthiest best decision I made. Already saving my money for the body tuck and breast lift/reshaping I am getting in 2 years. I have 100lbs left to go and this is the first time in my 28 years of dieting. I have been dieting since I'm 10 that I know I will be at goal. Taking it 10lbs at a time. Good luck and the group of people here are amazing and supportive a few not so much but since I joined I love this site. If u need support or information or motivation you are in the right place. This is ur life and ur decision so go with what makes you feel good. Wish I had this surgery years ago !!!

Good for you !!! People can be so rude and need to be out in their place. Ur response was right on and a little car wash n paint job ur carwill be fine I'd be more than willing to pay for it!!! Even friends who do it with love sometimes irritate me as well I know they are truly supporting me but my journey is not easy and please don't remind me how different I looked months ago I prefer if we don't mention my weightloss I'm doing this for me slow and steady.

Brag away I love the motivation I can't wait to see where I will be in July 2014 on my one year mark. Thanks for sharing !!!

Yay you!!' This tool really is great and best decision I made. High five !

Great feeling !!! It's the little things that are not little to us that is fabulous!!! I can't wait to be able to but bra n undies sets at Victoria secret n no more lane Bryant
