Telly

Check out my beautiful babies We had fun taking these. We laughed lots.

Omg Mo! You have the greatest haircut with some nice highlights. You look great in purple too. PNut you really look younger. I love your new avatar. It's shocking ... Ty sis TriciaK EmileeKaye, god I love her. Where the hell is she nowadays? Ooooh I know, in her tangled up love nest with Mr. Kyle.. lol. I'm waiting for an invitiation as she nears her goal weight.

Awww Esquerdo.. That's the sweetest thing to say.. You are a great motivator to me as well.. and you have a gorgeous daughter. She looks exactly like your twin. Saw her in the kids thread... Keep up the great work.. Yesterday, biked 40+ miles, will not disclose exactly but I'm not well today. Gonna go try to do at least 3 miles - 7miles walk/jog tops. Doubt the 7 but at least the 3. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

No surgeries other than the lap band yet. I will have a TT soon.. when I hit goal. But thank you kindly for the compliment. Compliments are welcome, lol

been up and down 5lbs for about 2 weeks now. *sighs* I came in lower today but of course I won't count it. My weight tends to go up 1 - 2lbs per day and then down by the morning to the same weight. No more weighing for another week for me.

Checking in matey's! Missed everyone but had a great break from the internet world. Didn't lose much but if you count in the gains and losses alltogether .. (same 5lbs) then i lost alot ...lol. Anywho... I'm back Check in 165lbs, 30lbs to go!!!!! Oh yeah and hair is still falling out, clogging my drains... but I am happy for the weight loss either way. Oh yeah I was getting bloodwork done and i needed approx 10 vials of blood.. so I ask what all they were checking for.. the Phlebotomist *spelling* stated that they were testing me for testerone, thyroid and other things. I said that I lost alot of weight in 4 months and my hair is falling out, the dermatologist wanted to know why. She asked if I had weight loss surgery. I confessed She couldn't believe that I did and I showed her my scars. She called her co-worker over to ask me questions as she was having Gastric Bypass surgery in November. She only weighed 240lbs, where I started. She stated that Dr. Kim was giving Lap Band surgeries now for 5k? Can anyone vouch for this? I'm very curious.

Hahaha, I'm here. Just been incognito for a few weeks, trying really hard to get to goal. I'm still in the 160's though... but soon to be in the 150's. I've been busting my ass like it was nobody's business! How goes you?

Awwwww! Thank you Irish girl. I'm glad you found something in me that can help you. Keep up the great work. Mo, Esquerdo, thank you for your concern... I just pushed away a bit from the net... wanted to try to get as close to my goal as possible for August. I will post at least once per week. Good to be back and thanks again.

I'm back, took off a few weeks from LBT and feeling great!!!! How's everyone? Stats looking good! Kept up my exercise routine though. Lost weight and look more lean.

Life is good and so is the band! Hard work pays off and it shows on you Em. You did great and will continue to. Finally got over that hump.:clap2: :clap2:

tawwwwwwwwwww, look at that baby!!! Soo cute! You did good Mysherrijo

NewSho, Thanks for your input, I'll google it.

Haha, in which case mine said it needed a little bit of everything on the menu, with alot of bar-b-que ribs

Thanks Mo. I ain't worried. In fact, I'm not ashamed i ate that way. I felt famished and now replenished.

Yes I can eat all of that. I've never had a fill so I may need one someday. But the whole purpose is to watch food portions and I just went crazy. Maybe if I start talking about getting a fill I'll get some restriction again, like last time. I rarely eat that way but I did enjoy myself. Only indulge when I'm out at family bar-b-ques and never at home or in restaurants. There have been 3 family bar-b-ques in July and I only attended 2. Still 170 this morning. Today and all weekend I'll be busting my ass to get the weight down. That's what's cool about losing weight.. if you falter one day, you have the the next day to fix it. I plan on doing that the next day after the hiccup. What's bad is that if you hit goal weight, it isn't written in stone and our bodies won't go on autopilot to stay at that weight. It's a constant weigh in, work it off, eat right, drink right kinda life.

Well, maybe it's safe to say that I got the confidence now to hit on other people. That's soo crazy!

Appetite of one too! LOL:heh:

Lins12, you're a total sweetie. You got a boyfriend? *wink wink* Just teasing.

haha Jenn28, nope, I'm up 3lbs since yesterday's weigh in. I had 3 beef ribs, 2 pieces of chicken breasts, a few bites of homemade mashed potatoes that were hard and not completely mashed (yikes). Salad, garlic bread and oh... um.. raselberry pie. Wait wait a light dannon yogurt drink. That was all in 1 sitting too. I hadn't eaten all day due to work and workouts and then BAM! Bar-B-Que time and I became a hog. Talk about portion control huh? I am 170lbs this morning. I will get back down by the end of the weekend.

*claps* Good job mami! Now it's time to party hardy! Wooot! I'll bring the Jack Daniels and Cognac!

Thank you Mo, love you sis. So encouraging. Beachee, I don't think a tummy tuck for me, per se..is avoidable. I really need and want one. I don't care about the scarring, I just want a tuck so it's flat. I also want lipo in my waistline area.

I am searching for great plastic surgeons, U.S. or Mexico based and would like to get the names of some doctors that banded people have used. Any input? I'm getting a TT w/lipo and breast lift, maybe even butt contouring.

It truly is incredible to walk into a bar-b-que party and have all eyes on you in disbelief. Mother-in-law saying "you look good Telly" and sister-in-law saying, "omG, dang girl, everytime I see you, you look smaller, I can't believe it". Family men checking me out, family women checking me out. Gotta love the band.
