Which looks super cute, btw.

I don't see how you couldn't have a boyfriend. You are fucking gorgeous. I wish I could help, but I can't. See, I've had two boyfriends, but it was before I was banded. Now that I'm almost at goal, I've been having sex every once in awhile, but no steady boyfriend. & that's all I really want. You seem like a pretty confident & funny person, which is the only thing I could suggest, since I know that's what I need. I hope this could have helped in come way haha.

I'm down 122 lb & looking to possibly lose 10 more but I am very much happy with what I've lost right now. I still have some distorted views of how I look because of the excess skin. I don't see a TT in the future anymore as we are having financial problems. I'll just deal with it. Also my port sticks out a little bit & will cause some discomfort almost on a daily basis. Anyway, I should tell you something good! I'm like a size 13 now & can wear a S/M/L top. Usually a M/L. I've also been going out more but still no boyfriend. & it's horrible because one of my best friends told me he really likes me but he has a girlfriend. They've been together for 2 & a half years so he doesn't want to break up with her. Lame huh? Either way, I just like the flirting. & who wouldn't? Haha I'm glad to see everyone is doing well. I can't wait until we all have our bandiversaries!

Oh my goodness, I though collarbones were amazing but then yeah, I saw my wrist bones. Love it!

I noticed it took a long time for me to actually start dropping sizes. But now it seems as though I have to get a new size every like 15lbs. Anyway, I started at a size 24 & now a 14/12/10 haha yeah. My tops were 2x & now they can be a L/M/S. Its kind of weird.

I've been in counseling for like 10+ years & finally got out of it. I'd rather be able to get over this shit without a counselor. You can't always tell them EVERYTHING & I feel like that'd be the only way to get anything out of it.

I wish I could get over myself & just start having fun. I know I'm no longer over weight, but I still feel like I look big. Ugh!

I straight up can't drink beer now. But I'm okay with that. A little wine or liquor & I'm good since I'll have such a little amount of food in my stomach anyway. When I was fat, I missed out on all the parties, so I'm trying to hit that up now. Unfortunately, my self-esteem is still very low. That's where the booze kicks in! Haha

So, I've lost a bit of weight since I started this thread & gained the tiniest bit of confidence, but it has definitely helped. No boyfriend right now though. But that's cool.

Gah! I was a very full 38c & sometimes 38d but now I'm a 34b. I didn't realize how much I was going to lose in the boob area. I'm quite sad actually, haha.

Today is my nine months & I'm down 107 lbs. The weight is still coming off, but only 1-3 lbs every 1-2 weeks. I also haven't started working out yet, only a little jogging here & there. But yeah, I hope everyone is doing well!

I just voted & she is winning!

I made it to 100lb today! I'm so excited. Hopefully I'll be getting a TT soon.

Haha I was thinking that, but I didn't want to be THAT person.

Woo! I'm hoping to get a gym membership this month to jump start my weight loss again. Still no insurance, so I don't think I'll be getting that fill anytime soon. Anywho! 96lb down & 23lb to go. Good luck this month, everyone!

Yesterday was my 8th month anniversary & I forgot to come here to post. I'm down 95lb as of yesterday. Yay! I have to go to work now though, so I'll come back later.

I wish we had the Realize band website for Lap Band. The features they have on there make me very curious.

I've been banded for almost 8 months now & I've lost 90lb. & to be honest, I haven't worked out for a minute. My job keeps me on my feet from 8 in the morning to 6 at night. I think being younger helps with the weightloss & with the saggy skin. I did get cursed with lots of baggy skin, but I can't even imagine what it'd be like if I was older.

My surgeon supplied me with some extra weights to throw in my pockets when I got on the scale. Thank you Dr Cribbins! Haha

I think I would like to lose at least 10lb this month. I need to start hitting the treadmill or at least start working out. But I've been getting the worst gas pains this past month. & all I need is a little problem to make a huge excuse haha. Anyway, I'll keep you updated on the weight loss. I am 89lb down so far!

I haven't lost much this month, maybe about 5-6lbs, but I am pretty okay with that. I do think I need another tiny fill. My last fill was almost too much to handle & if I had insurance still I would have gotten some taken out, but I just rode it out. It took almost two months for me to get stuff down, but now it's going down a little TOO easily. But as of my 7 month anniversary I was down 87lb! A size 16 bottom & L/XL tops when I started a 24 bottom & 2X top.

I buy two pairs of work pants & one pair play pants with each size. & I buy them from Ross as to not spend too much.

I can definitely see it, & you look amazing! You're neck looks so much more defined. :thumbup:

You can always lose more once you get to your goal. Mine is set at 160lb but once I get there I might change my mind.

I've officially gone down a cup size & I'm devastated! If I'm already going to get a tummy tuck, why not fix my boobs?
