    If I started on my blog & maybe help others too. So, I was banded 9-25-08 It's been almost 5 months! WOW!!! The BEST thing I have ever done!!!! I have lost 36 lbs so far & counting. It's a bit slower then most I think but I'm ok w/ it. I have not lost a good chunk of weight in YEARS!!!! A lttle History: I have always struggled w/ my weight. I have always had poor self image issues. Even when I wasn't "FAT" I thought I needed to be thinner. I have never been skinny skinny. I guess when I was young I didn't have the confidence & didn't realize I looked good @ 5ft 2in 120-125 lbs. {STUPID} It never lasted long though. I was always up & down 20-25 lbs. Now I just want to be "NORMAL".

  7. No exercise yesterday :-( I plan on going to the gym tonight sat & sun. Starting to get a bit frustrated! I feel like this weight does not want to come off! :laugh: Also my hair is falling out!!! :tt2: I have been stuck between the same few ponds forever!!! I'm gonna stick it out though! I need a fill but don't want to get one because I'm going out of the country soon & I am nervous about being too tight. I NEED A PEP TALK!!! :cool2:
  8. Hey Maybe I can go this time! Seeing how I'm haven't been into boston in awhile anyway. I'll see if I can get a sitter. It's the 17th?
  9. Um...I have twinges once in awhile but it's only been 5 months for me. I don't know? I don't know why you'd have soreness now. I'd tell your doc about it.
  10. Oh no! You poor thing. Keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you.
  11. yestereday off :-( today: 20 min tredmill walking briskly 11 min elliptical 5 min bike
  12. Hi there! I don't believe there are any rules. You just list your daily exercise. Helps to motivate you! :confused:
  13. anyone know of any fill centers in MA? I'm finding it hard for me to get into Boston w/ all the winter weather.
  14. Hi everyone! I just found this thread. I'm also from mass. I got my band 9-25-08 at The Brigham W.H. I LOVE my band!
  15. Soxaholic~I have no idea if she does this. I've talked to her assistent & she has not metioned this to me. I guess doc V is very busy because she;s taking on another docs work too.
  16. I guess I'll just go w/ it & NOT try to get a fill. I'm afraid I'l be too tight while out of the country & then I'll be in trouble. I don't know........ WHATEVER!!! I'll just have to TRY really hard to lose what I can. I'll still have a good VA CA no matter what.
  17. Oh Tiny, that's so sweet of you but they did offer me march 30th . I'm leaving for my trip on march 28th though. I called doc Robinsons office today to see if I could switch over to him. I don't know if I can.
  18. PS ~ I finally got the nerve up to RUN on the tredmill at the gym!!! Only did it a bit but I DID IT !!! I was surprised that my lugs did not bother me. My leg muscles got tired & I need a better sports bra lol!
  19. Yes, this place is where to come if you need info for sure! WELCOME!
  20. I'm thinking on looking into a different doc. I can never get into my doc for a fill if I have to cancel my fist appointment. She triple books & has no one to help!!!
  21. LOL!!:thumbup: Today: 3/2 elliptical 15 min tredmill 15 min (I ran a few times for a fisrt ) bike 5 min stairs 5 mins :thumbup:
  22. Ok everybody, I'm getting really upset because I had to miss my appointment AGAIN today because of the weather. They can't get me in now till APRIL!!!! I'm upset because I was really trying to kick butt this month before my trip to Jamaica. I haven't had a fill in over 2 months! Now I really need it. I don't think there's anything I can do. Is there??
  23. Welcome Msdollaz!!! You'll love this place!
