Probably copying and pasting the HTML to the signature on the user profile, I was planing on doing the same once i get my band... After you make the measure thing lol there is a white box that pulls up with the HTML in it thats what you will want to copy. I havent tried it.. so im not 100% sure!

Oh those Zone bars are really good, I sometimes will buy them to eat as if I would be eatting a candy bar.

Up at the top you will see User CP. click on that and you can edit your signature, from there you can also add those cute little dancing bananas too. If you need any other help let me know

The only way I would eat rice cakes is with pb&j. just plain..yuck! lol Pat, I was the same way I hated the camara, but now that I know im getting the lapband I will take as many pictures as i can, just so i can see the diffrence and so that i can see and tell myself i will never be that again!

Thank You, and Yes we will... sometimes it seems like it will take so long but before we know it we will be able to flant our selfs in any picture Yummm I love PB&J opps im just honest... Keep me posted on how things go and I will do the same

Oh your not that far hun.. you will get there as soon as you think... and when you do we will all celebrate hehehe You are doing GREAT so far... what a great inspiration to me!!

I havent heard of it.. but intrested in finding out more..

Ahhhhhhh you are a sweetheart!!! and yes WE will make it through!!! And no we havent known eachother long, but I already think of you as a good friend... and belive me I need one (((((((((((((( BIG HUGS)))))))))))

Oh Marie I totally agree... the first picture 100lbs ago i look at that and cant belive i let myself go as if i didnt care... You might still see your self as fat, but you are doing something about it, you are living healthy now and thats something to be proud of! Paula, Im waiting to hear anything lol I just had my first appt last friday and he sent in all the paper work to my ins. Monday.. yeah 2 days ago.. so who knows what my wait will be. Hes really pushing hard for me to get this done fast... I feel if i have waited any longer i wouldnt be around in 5 years and if i was i would be in a wheelchair.. my small 5'1" isnt strong enough to hold 330lbs im breaking...

Yes I agree too more pictures Pre-banded, I always hated taking pictures.. you would see family holiday pictures and I was missing hehehe i would hide at the site of a camara, strange for me being photography is a hobby of mine. Now i try to take pictures of myself as offten as I can... Im even making a Scrapbook of this journey. Yes im still waiting on the Ins. but they basically told me they would pay for it and gave me the Dr.'s name so im about 99% sure I will get it. but like everyone else i have to go through all the steps.. including the waiting!!

Thanks for the incouragement!! I am going to fight hard!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr lol

HAHAHAHA After I posted this I just had to laugh!!! Everyone posts pictures of them losing the wieght i just posted pictures of my gained weight! But that what i want to fix...

WOW 27in. Thats GREAT!!! and dont be down about the 16lbs Thats really good too... I think you are doing wonderful !
