Renewed~ Happy Birthday girl!! Hope you have a wonderful day and wonderful weekend camping. Leslie~ Glad to hear you are moving again! Lyn~ The run club sounds great!! Size 10 is great too!! I can't wait to get there.

If I don't watch my carbs, I don't lose. I've tried eating a balanced diet and it took a 3 month plateau for me to realize I have to limit my carbs. That's just me though...

I'd say that's a good problem to have. It's shows how well you have done. Congrats to you!

Hi dietpeach! The new way of life can seem a little shocking sometimes, but it does get better over time. I do not miss soda anymore at all. Bread doesn't have to be out the picture completely if you can handle it. I choose not to eat it the majority of the time, simply because I watch my carbs. It's been a year since my surgery and I don't even think about it as being a "different" way of eating anymore. It's normal for me now. Once you get good restriction, it helps with hunger a lot. Good luck to you!

Thanks luluc! The shoes are new and I caught them on a huge sale the other day. I think I paid $3.99 for them, lol. I'm always looking for bargains.

WTG Tootie! You're doing great! I agree with the other, go for the 5K!! Lyn~ Hope the fill gives you some restriction. Take care. Sugarbean~ Yowza! Sounds painful! Hope your legs feel better soon. Kathy~ Hope you get the bees under control. I don't like them either. My son got stung by a wasp (on his head) a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness he wasn't allergic. It scared me. Renewed~ Have fun at the track!! It must be nice to have your whole family involved.

Kristi, Leslie, and Allykat~ Great NSV's girls!! Keep up the good work guys!!

Okay, so here are my 1-year progress pictures. I can't believe it's been a year already. I guess the old saying is true, "time flies when your having fun". The first one was me at 330 lbs and the second is me at 230 lbs.

Thanks allykat! Okay, I posted some pics in the before and after (main page) but I'll go post them here to. Thanks again!

Thanks Jeannie! I sure hope I can run the whole thing. Even if I can't, it's just about finishing it. Who cares if we have to walk a little.

Leading by 67 now! Go BBK!!!! Go vote everyone!!

Woooo Hoooo Leslie! I'll bet that felt amazingly good! Stuff like that is sooo encouraging isn't it. You ARE looking pretty hot girlie!!!

Just finished my run a bit ago. I upped it by another minute, so I'm up to 17 minutes now. I'm getting soooo close to the 20 minute run!!

Yeah, I like the red team too! They seem really nice. Isn't he the one that came back to help his wife get up the hill? Not sure, but that was really sweet. I didn't like the way that Brady (brown team) was acting about the vote. He seems like he has a major attitude problem.

I did! I love the Biggest Loser! I don't have an official favorite yet either, but I really like the yellow team. That girl did awesome at the challenge. She stayed in for 17 rounds, I think (?), and had to do twice as much as everyone else. Yeah, the decision to bid that high was stupid and back fired, but they are safe for one more week.

No, it's not the first time. I wear it every time I run. I haven't tightened it and I've lost about 15 pounds in last month or so, so you'd think it would be looser now. I don't know. I do wear it under my sleeve but it's never been a problem before. Hopefully it was just a freak incident.

WTG aclubb!! You're doing great!! Great NSV's Kathy!! I love NSV's....sometimes they make me feel better than SV's. Okay, I have a question for ya'll. I have a Sony Erricson Walkman Slider Phone and it's like an ipod as well. I have an armband that holds my phone and I use it when I run. Yesterday, while I was running, my right arm (from the elbow to the shoulder) went kinda numb but was hurting really bad. I almost stopped running. Well, I finished my run and did my cool down and it eventually went away. Anyone else had this happen? I don't know if it happened because of the armband or if it had to do with something else going on with my body. The armband didn't feel too tight so, I dunno. It was weird....it's never happened before this. Any thoughts?

WooooHoooo! WTG girl! I know you are going to have a great month!!

I've been voting for you BBK! Just voted again and you are up by 36 votes!!

I am so NOT a morning person, lol! I'm okay to workout around 10:00am, but anything earlier than that is a real struggle. Lyn~ Congrats on joining the run club! That's wonderful!! I ran this evening and I made it to 16 minutes straight. Minute by minute I'm getting there.....

You guys are doing great!! I'm on the other thread too and just wanted to pop in to congratulate all of you!! Keep up the great work!!

Thanks Leslie! That's not silly at all!! I would love to get re-married and actually feel like a beautiful bride. I was about 220 lbs when I got married, so I would love to have the chance to do it again and wear any dress I want and feel comfortable.

I have a new NSV. I officially wiegh less than my DH! I've weighed more than him for 10 years now. Feels great!! I also bought some size 18 jeans today! I know that's still "plus sized" but I started out wearing very very tight 28/30's. (28/30 was as high as most places carry clothes around here, so I had to sqeeze in, lol). 30/32 was probably closer to my real size. One more, then I promise I'm done, lol. Sunday was my 1 year Bandiversary and I made my goal of losing 100 lbs in one year! How is everyone else? Any new NSV's to share????

Looking FABULOUS, as always, BBK! Love seeing all your pics. They are very inspiring!!
