i miss you all!!!!!!

I am 16 months out and down 125 lbs :confused: I now weight 166 lbs and wearing a size 2 to 4 jean (gap and old navy)

About a year ago, I said I wanted to wear a pencil skirt and I did!!!! I am at 165lbs and about 5'10!

woohoo!! congrats!!! is an AMAZING feeling!! Happy holidays to all!!!!

:crying:HELLO:unsure: Where is everyone???? hope you are all doing well!! wishing everyone a very:wub: happy holidays!!!!! as for me, I am doing just great. I continue to work out 5 times a week, now doing a lot more strength training every other day so I can bulk up a little lol. I still weigh between 166 to 170. I love my results!!! Will be saving up for my tummy tuck in 2010 and breast implant/lift in 2011. One step at a time. lol. Miss you all dearly!!:crying:

Eweid' I am soo happy for you!!!!!!!!!! I am glad that your happy and I know how good it feels to reach those goals!!! You are almost there :biggrin: Everyone is doing so well!!!! God bless us all!

Aww I miss you all as well!!! Yea I have been workign like a maniac!! I love my job. However, I barely log on because I work crazy hours, hit the gym or run and then go home to rest! It feels good to be active. At my heaviest, I didnt do much of anything. Now Im much more sociable. Shy but sociable!! Good luck and cheers to all of us!!!!!

Well I agree with my doctor as far as stating that the surgery is only a 10 percent effort in your weigh loss. The surgery does not stop you or anyone from eating "bad" food, you do! the surgery just controls how much of it you can eat. However, you can eat all the slider foods on earth and in essence it is your choice to eat all the "Easy to go down" food/liquids such as ice cream, soda..etc. Just because you have the surgery does not mean your not going to eat cake! Its your effort. Well the calculation worked for me, I lost 120 lbs 10 months post-op.

:wub:Hi everyone!!! I am still at 168 lbs!! Which I am thankful for because I am already feeling super slim and now wearing size 4 jeans. I am tall so 168 works well. In addition, I am looking a little bony in the rib area which I do not liek, so I am no longer trying to lose weigh. I now want to continue to maintain, I am doing very well. Eating healthy and running 5 times a week. I have attached two pictures. One is of my tummy, it looks flat but once I bend over I have loose :scared2:skin!! I can deal with it for now.

Well Im stating my 2 cents. My doc told me the surgery helps you with 10 percent of your weigh loss. the rest is all you and your dedication to healthy eatign and exercise. I did my part and know that I can have my slice of cake or wine but only because I know I have control and that I control what I need, not my eyes. If my eyes were in control, Id be eating chocolate cake all day everyday loll.

Just an update...I miss everyone!!! Work work is keeping me busy. Alright so I am still at 168, not trying to lose any more until my tummy tuck :sneaky: All is well, I love my band! I still work out 5 to 6 x per week! Good luck everyone.
