Oh La La, that is the best night ever!! I cant wait to go out a Celebrate the night away, soon Girlie soon!

Madam R, Girl you must still be dancing high on the clouds for such a great night of Nsv! From the wonderful complements to the kiss on the cheek and top it off you went home with your wonderful man and got to count the nights calorie burning sucess!! I am so happy for you!!

When you see brown blood immediately call your Dr!! Hope all is well, please keep us updated.

What chocolate and strawberry Heaven.. no no i have not but it looks like a yummy treat.

Ya know it was a contest the Biggest looser wins money and all the attention from the world. I am not sure I could handle all the pressure to compete with others in that way. I just saw her in an interview and she looks like she put on about 5 lbs, she looks good. Now when the camera's and interviews stop maybe she can relax and enjoy her life in maintenance with out the long hours of exercising. Still it is her journey wishing her the best!

I would start with a few exercise dvd that you can do at home. Then as you increase your endurance you will be able to go to the gym and start taking those small classes and see that you are able to do the class. Exercise is just like walking first you have to take the first step! You can do it!!

Cover your assests, so your job and your paycheck are not effected. Only you know what it in your heart, perhaps go in and talk to your big boss and ask him/her to keep this private and ask them also to help you keep it private with HR as well. Tell them you are doing this for your health and you would like to be honest with him about your time off but for now you'd like it to be private. I would make sure to have all the paper work submitted and filed before hand. Good luck with all of it!

Congrats that is an awsome feeling!

Thank you Hopeful, this makes alot of sense. So do you think that is why it is so important to have at least 60oz of water? So our bodies wont turn against us?

Arrrg, Yes the stall is a pain in the butt, no other way to put it. I have been on a stall for almost 2 weeks. I have watched my Water, sugar and salt intake and started working out at the gym 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day and still no movement. Sure wish I knew what is going on this can drive and does drive me crazy!! Now my hubby can eat a bunch of chocolates, beer and then run on the treadmill for a half hour and still loose weight. NOT FAIR i tell you not fair at all!! ok, i done complaining.. gotta go to the gym

So sorry i didn't see that before i posted. The day when you can use the hand wash cloth is a day your rejoice! Hang in there everyday is an improvement. On My 2nd day in the hospital I truly enjoyed washing up and changed into my own pj 's and walked the hallways with a skip in my step.

Cgj, Wow your scars are healing so beautifully!!! You must be so Happy, New body after all your hard work,thin scars and gorgeous freckles too!

oh hang in there little boo it will get better! Have your cry, then make a big ole bubble bath and enjoy!!

I am happy for Rosie, she took the path that we are all on. Bravo to her for making her life a healthy and happy one for her and her kiddos. As for Xtina, oh yeah she had vsg done.. I hope my vsg lets me look that good!!

Oh my goodness does this all sound like my life during the band. I was banded in 09 and Just had my band removal and vsg done 5 weeks ago. It was the best decesion I ever made. Last night I looked at my plate I had a little version of a healthy meal and I remembered saying to my self how nice it is not to worry about eatting certain foods that would make me throw up. I eat and I enjoy my food more then ever because I know this food will nurish my body and stay in my body too! I am very happy I did the revision. I had 5 years of working my lapband too I tried everything and I was lead to belive it was my fault it didnt work. I latter found out it had a leak and the failure of my band had nothing to do with me. Good luck in making your life healthy and happy for you!

Yay so glad to hear this!! You can do it Carlotta, you are worth it!

Yay your right around the corner to sleeved life!! Sending prayers your way for a healing and for quick recovery too!

Congratulations on your wonderful news and slimming waistline too! It must feel real good!

Wonderful is that what success look like? Great job!

The way to change a problem is to ADMIT you have a problem. You did that, now stop this very second at this very meal and get back on track. Dont let a few days lead into weeks of guilt and beating yourself up. Also try drinking a big ole glass of Water before you even think about eatting, and while your doing that plan what you will eat after. Hang in there. Also at the risk of helping others you need to take a break from your auditing and make sure your taking care of yourself. Unless your making the really big bucks, then tell them you need to have an hour and half lunch and fit in a workout during that time. Remember your worth this investment you made to yourself!!

MissMac really 5 months since you have gone in to see your back specialist? This is really encouraging since i go to a specialist for my back as well 3x a wk before surgery. I wondered when I am cleared to go back to have therapy and have disc compression done if my new tummy can take the extra weight they place on you. Just hearing that you disc have been behaving is so exciting to hear!! Congratulations on all the wonderful health changes your going through too.

luv this.

MissMac you look amazing, simply amazing!! Woot woot so inspirational!!

I'd kill for your tummy!! Just sayin' cant wait until my tummy looks that good!! You are an inspiration!!
