Already Noticing Hormone Changes!!! YEAH!
its amazing what 50lbs can do for you; my periods are back to normal, like clockwork; my PCOS was the main reason why i got surgery done. i know that the hair,skin,and nails vitamin was helping, i ran out and never bought them again, well im now thining again, so i bought this one that's strictly for hair, we'll see how that goes

Low Carb Banders Unite
thanks Nancy. i will stick with my low carbing, i know i'm bound to see those scale numbers move downward again eventually. i know i need to step up the exercise too, my body isn't reacting the same way it did when i started my regimen. on a LIGHTER side, today when i stepped on the scale, i lost .5lb, since sunday;that's something, and i'll take it!!

Happy 6 Month Bandiversary!!!
my six months isn't until the 23rd. i've lost 39lbs since my surgery day. i'm very happy with the loss that i've had and my MANY NSV's!!!! too may of those to list. in shirts, i've gone from a 3x to a extra large, even at times just a plain ol' large. in my pants/jeans, ive gone from a snug 22 to a getting a bit loose 18. my knees, ankles, and lower back don't hurt anymore. i've hit a bad plateau, but im hoping to be at 215 by NYE...got a fill yesterday, we'll see what happens!!!

Low Carb Banders Unite
hi everyone- i officially hit a BAD plateau, haven't lost anything in about a month; i just went for my third fill yesterday. i started a low carb diet a couple of months back, and that helped a lot with my weight loss. what i'm wondering now is, should i switch up the diet a little or what,i'm trying not to get frustrated over here!:rolleyes2:

Restricted foods that you can't live without?
i'm with you on that one!! except for most of my coworkers aren't normal to thin, but they stuff their faces with JUNK food!! they're always offering, so i stay away from their desks while they're eating for sure!
-
so its been a W-H-I-L-E
:smile: well, i think i might know what you mean; there's a nine year age difference between my little brother and myself. when he was a baby, my parents traveled a lot and left us with aunts or older cousins, and i would watch over him every time like i was his mom. even during summer vacation when my mom would leave to work, she would leave us in care with our nanny, i would still watch over him like a hawk! LOL. i remember lots of little things from when he was an infant, todler, starting preschool,etc. he's now a junior in h.s. and turning 17 in december, i ask my parents "where did it all go?" he's not my baby anymore, but i still can't believe he's all grown up!!! :thumbup:
-
so its been a W-H-I-L-E
oooo...that's awesome! i can't wait to be at that part of my life. right now it feels like i'll never get there! thank God time goes by fast.
-
so its been a W-H-I-L-E
well, now that you mention it, i would love to get PG, but i know now isn't the time...i know i have to loose more weight; but that's the main reason why i had my surgery-> in hopes to loose this weight, get this PCOS in remission, and get preg!!!
-
so its been a W-H-I-L-E
thanks tomato&minnie, i never really paid attenion to it, i just know its clear, but i'll check it out next time. thanks again!!!!
