Telly

I've just noticed that I haven't seen anyone on here that has reached goal, that has stuck around. It was a rhetorical question though.

I miss you guys too. Just things are busy as hell here. I wanna get a pool soon so I'm gonna work it! Gotta make those dead Presidents. Pumped, psyched, (amongst other things). Loving this banded life! Im loving the food too. DH made it. The smell hit me when I came in from the bike ride. It hit me like a brick and I didn't even dry off, I made a dash straight for my plate, lol! I drank down almost a 30 something ounces, I was famished. I start personal training Friday and I'm excited but scared too. I'm afraid he's gonna push me too hard. Ahh well, here goes! P.S., you guys are doing awesome. I'm loving how the numbers just keep going down with everyone. Way to go folks. Oh yeah, once we hit goal, do we continue to rummage lbt?

Wooohoo, 1 more pound and I'm officially a -50lb loser. 2 more pounds and I'm in the 180's!!! I'm exhausted tho, but it's feeling pretty sweet. I had 2 oz of scrambled eggs with smoked turkey meat, onions, little bit of low fat cheese and omG. Food tastes soo amazing now. Biked 18 miles this morning and after work gonna do 4 miles on the treadmill. I'm energized.:clap2:

C 191 ( - 49 total, - 3 this week)

Hey hey hey... You are sweet. I was biking 2 weeks straight prior to surgery and only lost 5lbs. Hah! The band is playing a major role in this. I am 192lbs as of yesterday. I haven't weighted myself today and plan on weighing in tomorrow for Gone for Good Club weigh in. Did I pass you? I have no clue, your weight is not posted, just that you lost 49lbs, which is wonderful all in itself. Muahhzzzzzzzz Melody!~ Were doing it!!!!!

Hey mamita! We are practically starting off June at the same weight. You are doing great salad girl!

From a friends standpoint... Em, As I said soo many times before to you on this board and in yahoo IM's, that I think you are the purest spirit I have ever encountered on the net or pretty much anywhere. I have to touch on that because you need to know how wonderful and spiritual you are and how your character helps influence me and my actions, daily. You have been banded for 2 years! You have taught me alot in the month and a half I have been on this board. I am happy you found love and are in love. Kyle seems like a wonderful man. I can't wait for a phone call or an IM asking me when I will be down for the wedding No pressure... I'm am sad for that old girl too as I don't know her at all, but I am very happy to know who you are now and who you are now was shaped by the old you, a kind, caring, compassionate, endearing and wonderful spirit. You are a good person. Your mother is wonderful for doing what she did for you. She deserves the best mother treatment forever for that *hint hint* but I am sure she didn't do it for show, she did it b/c she loves you so much and her baby girl needed help. Thank you for being a true friend and I know with confidence I can call you that. Thank you for posting this message.

Hey Doc, if it's all paved then I can meet you on my bike no problem. You'll probably die if I did huh? I rode my bike 35.1 miles last Sunday, never stopped once and never drank Water the whole time. I feel really really good! You should join me.

06/04/2006 35.1 mile bike ride in a very cool and breezy, cloudy day here in beautiful Florida. :girl_hug: I loved my bike ride today. Just loved it.

My current weight is 193lbs. I'll be MIA for a little bit, taking on new work assignments, but I will try my hardest to check in. :girl_hug: I will make all the time in the world for my exercise, it's the most important thing and eating right. Love you guys...later.

Oh, by the way folks, I'll not be on much anymore, I'll be checking in for updates, but I think I spend waayyy too much time on here. It's not allowing me to be as productive as I need to be, so I'll be popping in and out alot less and more out there trying to get this weight off and working. I joined Gold's Gym and hired a personal trainer, after my first 5 free sessions. I got a new account today that will be bringing in lots of income and will be adjusting my staff and I can see it now. I will have to sacrifice something. I won't be a stranger. (huggles everyone)

Finally! Ali decided to join her sisters in the fight.

I heard Effexor XL works, does that help you sleep as well? There's a few meds out there that I can't think of, one is elavil (spelling). I don't know, I could be wayy off. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably be feeling the same way. 3 surgeries is alot. I've only had 2 surgeries, c-section in 2002 and lapband 2006 and those were stressful enough. I empathize with you. You need a mini vacation before all these surgeries.

Poodles, you may need intervention. Should visit with a therapist, at least to make an assessment and to help you out and if meds are needed, then you should do what's best for you.

Haha bandayed, What's really weird is ..I've got these kinda sandal/platforms and there is that leather piece that goes overtop of the foot...that piece used to be very very tight but now my feet just slide out while i walk in them. They have made me fall a few times b/c they are so loose now. It's time for a wardrobe change but I don't think I should waste my money being as I'd be in a size 7 in a few months I was thinking though, I don't want to have anymore kids so I'd definately get a tummy tuck once I'd hit 145lbs. My goal is 135lbs but I know that doctors remove about 5 - 15lbs of excess skin when they do tummy tucks. So is it customary to actually hit goal weight first, such as 135 and then get a tummy tuck? If I had to do this then I may be smaller than a size 7 or maybe right at 7, who knows.

My feet are shrinking. The size 8's I used to wear are too big. I'm 7.5 now. Weird huh?

Wow, triplets and still a size 18? You go girl! I had 2 kids years apart and just ballooned.

You folk be of the talented kind, wow!

Yipes, i had to break the post #666 for me, ouch!
