  5. I actually feel the same way. I was just saying that to my husband the other day. I feel like people are just being nosey. If you really want to know how I did it then private message me on Facebook. Ughh some people just don't get it!

  8. I get the neck tension and swollen throat if I have a couple bites too much and my band is tight. The protein shake could've been sitting in your stomach still and the applesauce with the pill could have just filled you up to much.

  12. No I was adamant when I started that I wouldn't have extra skin lol...well it didn't work out as well as planned but I also think it could have been a lot worse if I didn't exercise or eat right and drink my water. I don't have much but what I do does bother me. I find ways to hide it. I knew I would never have a bikini body so I'm ok with what I have. There are some days that I think about skin removal surgery but I'm just going to keep working toward toning up what I can.

  21. We have had our ups and down but I am 116 pounds down (6 below goal), I feel amazing. It's still a learning experience everyday. I celebrated with an a awesome NSV!! I was able to go on a ride without worrying if I could fit in the seat. I was actually a little scared because I was moving around so much from the extra room I had

  27. Thanks everyone! It was def rewarding to do. My band is still in some pain from the constant running but I'm slowing nursing it back
  28. I have successfully completed my first 5k! It felt great. I highly recommend run or dye for your first one. My dad and I had so much fun and you can go at your own pace.
  29. I have trouble with wine. If I even have a glass my stomach gets very swollen and I can't eat the next day. I've chosen to just cut it out. It causes my stomach to much pain.
  30. Thanks ladies. Sometimes it hard to see when looking in a mirror. So little reminders like this are awesome!
  31. I'm almost at my 1 year mark I was putting some clothes away and decided to take a picture of where I started to where I will stay! Size 24 to 6!!
  32. My cousin has the same problem. She recently started using hemp protein. I haven't done much research on it yet but it doesn't seem to bother her and she is extremely sensitive to dairy. Hope this helps
  33. I'm glad that you know that you need to have an unfill. I went thru the same thing in the beginning of the year and my doctor kept telling me to wait another week. I knew my body and how crappy I felt that I told him I didn't want to. I'm sure you will start feeling better after an unfill. Good luck
  34. Thank you I also try to but sometimes it's hard. I was curious what everyone else did.
