omg thats so crazy--- PLANO!! my hometown! i am now like, creepily envisioning you guys married with your kids growing up and going to my HIGH SCHOOL! hahaha that just blows my mind. what are the odds?!?!

where in dallas is he from? plano? because then we might actually know some of the same people or something and that would be REALLY weird!

well anyways, sooo glad you are so happy! its just too bad i dont live in texas anymore and only visit like 3 or 4 times a year..

hey thanks!

ok so seriously!?! no april fools? i saw that relationship status change on facebook about you and your friend but based on your comments about it i thought it was just you two playing a trick on your friends or something.

so if you say its legit then thats AWESOME! who cares if you plateaued for a bit if you are in a happy relationship! so when are you moving to texas, and to where specifically? you know how much i love my home state...

gina! i miss you girl... happy birthday, and update me on your life!

im doing well thanks for asking! my mom is alright, considering the circumstances. she starts chemo on tuesday and is being very brave, but the doctors and everyone are very optimistic so we are too. thanks so much for asking! hope all is well on your end-- because you are looking fabulous! jane

you have done such a great job and you look beautiful! congrats!

hey isabella! just wanted to say great job, and thanks for posting your update pictures! i remember looking at your pics almost a year ago or so, and it gave me so much hope! now that im losing about 10lbs a month on average and about halfway to my original goal, it helps to see your "after" pics again.

anyways, just wanted to say hi!

well you have done SO great so far, really. everyone experiences what you are right now as im sure youve read on the board. i did too! i think i told you about that a little in response to one of your posts. i had my first fill 4 weeks and started eating what i would say are the "right" portions for me at my second fill, but im glad i eased into it. its so weird now, when i think about it, that no one really notices how little i am eating compared to the amount i used to eat! but yeah 5 weeks in i was definitely worried, I think one night i had like 5 tacos or something. old habits die hard. couldnt imagine eating even a full one now! i dont even crave a lot of those bad foods anymore, i guess my body is used to it.

good luck with your fill!

thank you! you have been doing very well yourself. i added you to my contact list on here so you could see my photo album. there are a bunch of pics in there! not a lot of comparison pics, but i have a recent one uploaded.

how have you been doing with your band the past 5 weeks?

thanks for ADDING me! and for all the picture comments. i am doing alright, since i dont live near my mom right now i am kind of sad but i am going home on friday for a week, so we will get to spend some quality time together. i know she is going to be okay, but the whole situation just makes me sad and worried. glad to have friends on here that care, so thank you!

i hope your fill helps you! im sure with the right restriction you will find that you have incredible weightloss. by the way, is that your son in your pic with you? he is adorable!

hi there! hope your surgery went well today!

does your insurance not let you have the surgery if you go under a 40 bmi while on the pre-diet? i know a lot of insurance companies allow it (some have restrictions that you cant go below a 35 bmi) as long as your doctor has documented your high weight. i would find out if i were you, the more weight you lose before the band, the easier and faster your journey will be for you! i lost about 20 pounds in the months before my surgery.

either way, definitely stay strong during these next few months! you can do it! do your best to at least not GAIN any weight, because i know how guilty i would have felt in the first month or two of being banded just trying to get back down to the first weight!

and besides, its always good to get in the habit of things before you actually have the surgery. all it does is make life easier for you!

hey-- saw your recent before and after pics.... you look SO GREAT!! congratulations!

heyyyy allison! just curious to see how you're doing! update pretty please?

thanks so much! i added you as a friend so you could see some of my progress pictures.

thanks! how is it going with the insurance approval and preop diet? it took me forever to get banded but it was worth all the struggle!

umm hELLOOOO chelsea, have you looked in the mirror lately? because YOU look amazing! and with a cute boy too.... jeeeealous!

and wow-- 190! even more jealous!!!

reginaaaa you are so hot and SO brave! thanks for the update

oh no im sorry to hear that your unfill was too much... when will you go get another tiny fill?

in the meantime-- you just gotta think positive! thats the great thing about this band, you know you can always get it adjusted. you know HOW to lose weight-- i think everyone has been pretty successful in losing a small amount of weight in the short term before they had the band.

as for me, i just hit 210 this morning, meaning i am HALFWAY to my goal! granted, thats counting my weightloss started back over last summer, but it still feels really good. come ON gina! we said we would keep up with each other-- you gotta pass me and then we can both get down to ONEderland!

hi regina, my name is jane, ive been watching your profile and think you would be a nice person to talk to!

......just kidding..... but where have you BEEN?!? update pretty please

hey katie how are you recovering? back to normal yet? i'd love to hear/see an update! hope all is well!

woops sorry-- i meant to say you are already at your HOLY CRAP goal!

wow! well you are sooo gonna get to your smokin' hot goal of 160-- but in my opinion, you have already reached that goal!

hi angie, thanks! good luck with your surgery and keep in touch

so i see you are like 2-3 pounds away from two-terville (is that what its called?) .... ahh so exciting! did you buy a scale?

hey chocolate snaps! ive been keeping an eye on your progress every now and then, and i just thought i should tell you straight up that you are doing AWESOME!!! you are definitely one of my motivators here haha, and i bet you didnt even know it. do you have any update pictures? i'd love to see how much hotter (if that's even possible!) you have gotten since 8-4-2008, the last time you updated your pic albums.

hope to "see" you soon!
