I thought you were leaving us for good!!! Glad to hear you are going on a trip! Have a blast and get in some exercise while you are gone! (my plan for vacation)

Welcome fellow Spivak patient!!! Best of luck to ya!

Amy~ I put the new pic that you sent me on my avatar... looks good to me. Thanks for doing that!

Thanks Kim! It feels SO weird having bangs... I actually have been wearing them back in a clip it is so weird.

Wow Telly !!!! 199!!! That rocks! You are going to be at your goal weight before we know it! Small NSV~ My cousin and I went and got measured at the gym Friday... She is 5'4" and 152 lbs. My calf is only 1 inch bigger around than hers!!! Now, the waist is another story, but that made me feel good. All I can think about is Amy and her apron removal... I want one!!!!

Am I the only one alarmed that your Dr. is letting YOU choose? My Dr. has each of the sizes layed out and decides which one better fits the anatomy of your stomach. I wouldn't know what the heck to pick if he would have told me it was my choice. It just sounds strange to me?

Congrats!!! I was just about to reply that since you are self pay... you most likely would be good to go soon! Best of Luck to you!

How can I send you one? I click on the button to email you, but there is no place to attach...

Nope, definitely not in delete mode... I also have gotten tired of people saying that we shouldn't post our siggy's because it is discouraging to others that aren't losing as quickly... So, I try to make it a point to put siggy in thread where those lurk.... I am not trying to be ugly, but I am not in any kind of race and I love looking at people's sigs. Let's me know about their journey.

I went to the gym this morning again. I haven't sweated that much in years! It felt so nice. I did 20 minutes of cardio and then those weight things I do... Don't ask what they are, but I believe we were at the gym for 45 min-1 hour. I just feel like a million bucks. Still loving the working out even though it is only week 2. I know Tricia and Telly are working out... what about the rest of you?

I try not to post sig on this thread b/c of all of the pages... and I am trying to do a new avatar. Not too thrilled with my results so far. They always look blurry!

Thanks guys! Ok, Funny... how was the clubbin' and where are the pics? I want to see your hot shirt!

I recently saw an Oprah show and saw that she had put some weight back on. I think that would be wonderful if she had it done. I also don't take EVERYTHING in the tabloids to be true... but there is some small truth to every blown up rumor. I would not be surprised at all if there was some truth to it. Thanks for posting this... I am curious to see how it unfolds. As to the comment about who cares if they (stars) have surgery or not? I am very interested in ANY person that has had weightloss surgery. I like to see how people do... It is easier for me to watch a star than a person I might pass on the street one day and never see again that had the band.

This was my daughter's first time to eat spaghetti with no assistance from me. She had a blast!!!

OK, guys... this is a picture of my new "do". Already 3 weeks old, but I am just now downloading the pics.

I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. You will be in my thoughts.

Happy Birthday girlie!!!! I hope that you had a great day!

I am all for high protein, low carb... but the no veggies and no fruits doesn't sound safe to me. Interesting though. Thanks for posting.

OK, I was going to keep track of my weight at the gym... but I like my scale at home too much... I do promise to only weigh once a week though. I am concentrating more on getting my body fat percentage down. We are going on a small vacation next weekend and I am packing my walking shoes so I can do some working out. I am also taking my bathing suit! :confused: You guys keep it up!!! Telly, you make me tired reading all the stuff you do. You are going to be at 190 before you know it!!!! We are all rocking on!

Now I get to put in my 2 cents. I am int the supposed "Honeymoon" phase, according to some. I have had tons of people jump on my for saying that my weight is gone for good. I have not gained back one single pound that I have lost. I lost 20 pounds in the first week that I had my band. IT NEVER came back. I am as healthy as a horse. I know that we all are entitled to our opinions here, but to say that it is bullshit that the weight will never come back I am saying bullshit to you. I am living proof of it. I am only 6 months out, and I am one of those giddy newbies that LOVES my weightloss (And I have done an excellent job there) I also appreciate the people that have had their band for longer telling us that this so called phase will end.... It motivates me to never let my phase end. When is the honeymoon phase over for a marriage? DH and I have been married for 3 years and we still act like we did when we first started dating. I really appreciated P'Nut's starting this thread because there are the few "veterans", "newbies", and ones that have had their bands removed that are really blunt in saying that you will not be this happy forever. I certainly don't like to hear that. Hijack: I was warned that P'Nut was an evil person too... HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA I was told to watch her and beware... Turns out I had to watch the one that told me that. I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts here on this thread. Everyone hs their opinion and it is all out there now. I can relate to some and want to slap some of the others... but hey, that's life. To SUM it all up.............. I don't want to EVER leave the Honeymoon phase!!! And all of my weight is GONE FOR GOOD!!!! (come join our support team if you like) I also like having my siggy that shows how well I have done. I like looking at others siggy's too. It helps me know how to talk to you... like if you are new I might be able to help, or if you are a veteran I could ask you for advice!

Telly, I think they will do a payment plan... but this is with a huge gym... so I am pretty sure that if he skipped, they would give me another trainer. I DID 10 WHOLE minutes on the elliptical today! That was so great.

I have heard of this... but still haven't tried it!!! I am going to do it this weekend! YUMMY! I love omelettes, but too lazy to make them.

Yeah BIG CONGRATS FUNNY!! Have fun this weekend in your cute new top!

You must be tall Wheetsin like me? You are looking great!!!! Keep up the good work.

If you can not drink without feeling pain, I would say you are too tight. Does your Dr. know this? Good Luck!
