You need to make yourself a new avatar with that picture!

Don't you just love those kinds? They are the neatest ones of all! You have done a great job and should be very proud of yourself!

A "Big" welcome from Texas! I bet you are looking forward to June!

Great NSV Alex and a beautiful blouse! Great picture of you and the girls too!

Welcome Becky! What part of Texas are you from? I am a Texan too! Who is your doctor, and what is your banding date?

You have done a great job, please don't put yourself down! Everyone loses at a different pace, so it is hard not to compare our losses with someone elses. I definately try not to compare mine, I would really be depressed as I have stayed at the same weight for 2 months now. I know I have lost inches though during that time. Hang in there, you will do it! It is harder to lose when you started out at a lower weight, but you can and will do it!

I'm the same way Michelle! If I have a problem (which I usually don't) I eat some prunes or drink some apple juice.

Tanya that pool is what got me my bad sunburn! lol But it was worth every minute of it!

Awwww Alex those are the best ones! Enjoy them as much as you can, they grow up way too fast. They are precious!

I agree too! It is a lifestyle change and we still have to work at it. Great post!

Harley riding, fishing, gardening, sewing, dancing, crocheting, reading, and collecting hummingbirds/angels. Posting on LBT!

Paula - Why don't you talk to her doctor about it and see what the Doc has to say about surgery for her. If he agrees that she could do it, then talk with her about it more.

Good luck to both of you, and don't forget to come and post about your surgery when you are able!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Just wanted to wish you luck and please keep us posted on your progress.

I walk on the treadmill most days, and if I don't do that then I walk on my lunch hour.

We were at the Marriot in Horseshoe Bay, it is down near Austin. It is right near Marble Falls, Tx.

Here are a few pictures from vacation. I didn't take very many because the camera was buried in my bags! The pool pictures was taken from our room and the lake pictures were when we went on the guided fishing trip. The two guys are my brother-in-laws.

I haven't had a problem with anything yet, I can eat everything.

Great post! I think we can all learn from that! Thanks for sharing it with us.

It could just be the scale, maybe if you were home that scale wouldn't show a gain at all! I agree, the stress is a big factor for you right now! Hang in there, it will get better! Hey, go to Walmart and pull out one of their scales and check it there! You might find out it is just the scale indeed.

No gain, no loss, but I am happy with that this week after all the crap I ate on vacation!

Welcome and good luck with your surgery. What a great B-day present! The liquid phase will pass quickly and you will be banded before you know it! Good Luck and don't forget to come back and post about your experience when you feel up to it.

Paula you are too funny! I only took a few pictures, the ones I wanted to turn out was the ones at night of all the colored water/lights and none of those turned out. I have a couple on the lake, I will try to post them when I get home. Yeah, the gas prices for the vacation was great! I look like I have on red gloves though, I had a long sleeve shirt on coming home and my hands got really sunburned, but my arms don't match! lol

I'm at 2.25 and still don't have much restriction! I am hoping my next fill will get me there and I will start losing again.
