  1. Wow, how did you get insurance to cover any portion of it? I have Aetna, any chance you had them? Just hoping.... Thanks!
  2. Wow, what an inspiration! My belly currently looks like your before pictures - almost exactly. I'm amazed at how wonderful you look. How the heck did you get insurance to pay for it? Please let me know and I'll try and same route! Thanks and congratulations!
  3. Sorry, I can't say I've seen that. What does your doctor say about the appearance? It sounds interesting but I hope you can get them looking how you want! Good luck!
  4. WOWEE!!! I need to take some lessons from you.... That's simply incredible!
  5. Forgot to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kind compliments!
  6. Great advice, I'll give the office a call to see what they recommend. They always talk me into going to classes and support groups and everything else so I hate to call!!! I know, that's not a bad thing but I'm kind of busy now and feel guilty when I say not to those suggestions. Have a great week, Siobhan
  7. Good Morning! I haven't been taking my Calcium for quite a while now and my hair has started to fall out (thank goodness I have a lot of it!) I have bought the calcium nitrate liquid and am wondering if one of you can tell me how much I am supposed to be taking. Thanks so much!!
  8. There's no comparison!! I can't get my husband to stop groping and grabbing me.... I'm not complaining, just saying he's fallen re-in love with me after 30 years!!! We're not as old as it might sound, by the way, I met him when I was 13!!! Life is good...
  9. I'm glad you posted this. I get this a little since my fill a week ago. I think it just means we're tighter and need to slow down a bit (in my case.) I had this right after my last fill, also, but after I lost weight it went away. I know I didn't slip or dilate in the past week because I've been following every little rules that exists! Haha, I have, though. I think it just means we're probably a little tighter than we should be and my thoughts on this is, I'll lose some more weight and it will go away - it's a win win!! Mine is very minor, though, yours sounds a little more uncomfortable. Good luck, hope you feel better!
  10. Well said, Cindy... jntedwards, you've come so far, don't sabotage yourself! I'm still in the struggling to lose another 40 pounds stage and I don't want you to be there again. Remember how good it felt when you met your goal, don't you want to feel that way again? I know you do. Remember how good it felt when you fit into a much smaller size, I know you want to be there comfortably again. Remember how good you feel about yourself when you are where you want to be, you deserve to be there again. Twenty pounds isn't much, you can get back down there; but 50 pounds is much tougher. Don't allow that to happen. Start right here and now acting as if you have a fill and using the rules that got you to lose so much weight. YOU CAN DO IT! Just set your mind to it and bring back that willpower. We all fall off the bandwagon sometimes but getting back on is what makes us achieve our goals. So, go for it; you've done it before and you will do it again!! Keep us posted...
  11. This is completely normal, don't get down about it. Like honk above, I go up and down at that time (and I also get concerned every month!) You're doing fantastic, don't let it get you down. Besides, one pound is one pound, I'll take it!!!
  12. You're doing incredibly and it sounds like you have a super supportive husband which makes it so much easier! Your attitude is great and you sound like you will hit all your goals. Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your progress, you hottie!!!! LOL
  13. CONGRATULATIONS!!! First of all, I can't wait to hit Onederland, second of all, you're looking younger than ever - that's awesome!!! I can't wait to join you in about 24 pounds... Keep up the great work!!!
  14. That's a definite compliment! In other words, he thinks you are looking hot and doesn't want any other guys to try picking you up! Great feeling, isn't it!! Then when he says he's going to feed you more, he's saying you're hard work is paying off. Honestly, that's the ultimate guy compliment - WAY TO GO, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! By the way, he sounds like a keeper!!
  15. So glad everything worked out fine. Thanks for the tip regarding the ice cream, every once in a while I would indulge - not any more after reading your post!
