Ah Steph . . .YOU are the inspiration! I'm still not even down to where you started! SIZE SIX???? OMG I don't think I'll make it to a 10 . . . I'm still in some 1X and 2X . . . depending on the style . . . I have a couple 18-20's .. . but I think they were just stretched out lol. Keep doin' what you're doin' . . . it's GREAT!

I was thinking no one cares anymore . . . we only got about 25 people that filled out the form last month . . . and there were about 125 in December 2007 . . . we've lost a few!

Sghatl . . . TY for doing the poll . . . I was working at a conference and flat didn't even think of it . . . 40 lashes with a wet buttered noodle for me! You have been doing great . . . and I know what you mean about the styles . . . even if we can fit in them now . . . someone my age just shouldn't be wearing it! lol . . . we can win sometimes! Great job on the cruise . . . I'm leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday . . . and got a fill a couple weeks ago - which I THINK might be my sweet spot. I'm literally having to drink my Protein in the morning over a 15 minute time span . . .and we're talking taking bites of food now (my doctor's favorite number is 8) . . . I was eating 2 large Wendy's chili's at a time . . .now I'm doing good to finish 1 small one . . . so this might be what I'm looking for. I have 2.5 cc's in a 10'cc band. Just keep on with the great work - and keep an eye out for some fashions you like! 10 months . . . can you believe it?????

Katiebug . . . all I can say is WOW!!!! Unbelievable! Yeah for you! Chris

Thanks ladies! I'm kinda re-motivated again . . . and wanting more weight to be moving AWAY :tongue2: I'm challenging myself to be down 75 lbs by my one year bandiversary (considering how slow I've been lately - that seems reasonable). . . it can happen! Chris

Thanks Steph . . . always looking for new ideas . . . you have been a great loser! Glad you're getting close to goal. I'll have to check out Kashi .. . sounds like a good supplement to my stuff. Chris

Wahoo . . . MAYBE this will jump start me again . . . I'm all the way up to 2.5 cc's in my 10 cc band . . . I swear this progress has all been willpower so far :crying:. Anyway . . . onward and downward I go! Chris

This clip is about 7 minutes long . . . but OMG . . . unbelievable! Enjoy! Elefant malt Selbstportrait | chilloutzone.de - free games and free fun Chris

Cerrin . . . I haven't been buying lots of smaller sizes at all . . . and depending on the clothes . . . I still wear between a 1X and 3X . . . my swimsuit is a 22 . . . (can we say I must have REALLY been squishing into my clothes at my highest weight?) BUT . . . I'm slowwwwwwly working my way down . . . as we all are . . . I'm so much better than I was a year ago . . . I'll take it!

Alsobrook. . . you are at a plateau? You couldn't prove it by ME! Yea! I'm hoping for my third fill on Thursday . . . I'm on a plateau of a couple months!

You rock Sghatl! WOW! You are an inspiration thats for sure!

I have to ask your secrets . . .your meal plans . . . your exercise plans . . . give us slower people some insight . . . PLEASE????? You are doing a fabulous job! Keep it up! Chris

Way to go Kattie! Wahoo! (BTW - I'm jealous too!)

I'm not moving all that fast Cerrin . . . but at least the movement is downward when there is some! You are so far ahead of where you were last year! you're doing GREAT!

I LOVE your new avatar! You look fabulous Steph!

I'm so sorry to hear this Lisamarie! You have come so far .. . and done such a wonderful job! I hope you feel better soon . . . and try to keep all you've done as a positive .. . and while dieting is NO fun . . . following the lapband rules can still help I would think . . . my thoughts are with you! Hugs Chris

Where does the time go? Almost forgot about posting the new poll! Chris

OMG Shelly . . . how WONDERFUL! You are AWESOME! Chris

My doctor was happy with me only losing 7 lbs in 2 months . . . and didn't give me my 3rd fill .. . I have to admit I haven't been making the best choices - my stress level is off the charts right now . . . BUT . . . if I didn't have the band - I'd have gained at least a much as I've lost at this point! So .. . I just keep plugging away. I might get a "slight" adjustment at the end of September when I go in . . . ughhhhh . . . I hate waiting . . . but at least I'm not gaining! Have a great cruise Sghatl! How FUN! Where are you going this time?

FANNY FANNY FANNY . . . you poor puppy! Yes it hurts - but it shall pass . . . it isn't easy and it isn't fair . . . but you need to put that beautiful smile on your face and hold your head up high . . . you will find someone to be with who WILL appreciate you . . . and who will deserve you! Hugs! Chris

FANNY! STOP IT!!!!!! You are worth EVERYTHING you've done . . . and deserve more than a narrow minded idiot . . . don't let one "WIERD" egg spoil all you've achieved! You deserve the best . . .and he obviously wasn't IT . . . Just be glad you enjoyed the day . . . and treat it as a training ground for what is to come! Hugs Chris

You've come so very far .. . and life throws us all curves - but you're aware there are issues to be worked around, and you ARE DOING IT! Hugs to you - all we can do is pick ourselves up and start the next day the right way - we will get to our goals! Chris

WOW WOW WOW! I'm SOOOOOO happy for you! Keep it up! Chris
