I'm here and it is weigh in day today. You have some days that you know you lost and days that you know you gained. Of course I hope I lost and I feel like I should have lost more then a pound this week but only the scale can tell me that. I am going to buy me a scale when I get to 350, hopefully I will get it before that. I am so excited to be able to get on my own scale at home anytime I want to especially to get on and see 350. Yessssss

WOW Kutia you look GREAT!!! Congratulations on working that body. You are smaller and look happier.

Girlly you are doing GREAT!!!!

Hey Chrissy I am so happy for your lost WOW you are doing a great job. If you want more support you can check into your local TOPS chapter. They are a weight lost group, very inexpensive, that supports all types of weight lost. I have been with them for a little over 4 years now and I got my band last year, they were very supportive. Since then I have brought in our local lap band members and 4 of them joined. Weight loss is weight loss it is not easy no matter how you cut it. check out TOPS.com cost is $24 a year and then monthly dues, mine are $3 a month but chapters dictate the amount depending on if they have to pay rent where they meet. Good Luck Hun

Hey good job on those thumbs....he he he Oh wow *eaves dropping* Congratulations leighhoff....you know the rest. I don't think Dough can one of those under his skin. Father Abrahm has many sons and maybe leigh will have a girl so let's all praise the lord....haaaaa

Marvelous accomplishment!!!! CONGRATULATIONS

WOW you are not alone. You can be around many friends but without being able to eat all the food you once did you feel lonely. With time it will get better. We have to focus on our goals or they will slip further and further away. Keep your head up and your fork down.

It sounds like you are complaining about gaining muscle and losing fat. The scale will not always go down. I think you said it was easier to get behind the steering wheel, WHAT!!!! So you are getting smaller, WHAT!!!!!! It sounds like you got some extra exercise in while waiting for another step class, WHAT!!!!! It sounds like you have some NSV"S goin on, walking to the store, parking farther away to get extra walking in.
