I see the doctor tomorrow I will let you know what he decides to do afill or no fill. I have good restriction but for the life of me the lbs are not coming off this month. I am so frustrated.

Hope you have a great time in Florida Laurel. You deserve it. I am thinking about joining a gym instead of working out at home maybe it will motivate me more at a gym. Where is China hope she is okay. Have a great day.

My birthday was on Feb 18. I had a great relaxing weekend the weather was amazing here 78 and beautiful we spent alot of time outside and just relaxed....it was nice. No exercising for me on Sat and Sun those are my days to be lazy. I do watch my food and stay on track. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Yuck I hate the dentist. Have a great week everyone. China are you married or should I say happily married?

How was everyone day? I had a really good day. I was able to spend more time on me today than usual. I went for a nice long walk and it was so beautiful outside. I have not has much of an appitite the last few days so it has been really easy to stay on program with food. I am looking forward to spending a nice weekend with the DH. He is an amazing man. Wants to take me out new car shopping but I told him I prefer to wait as I am very happy with the car I have. He is so good to me.

Great job with the working out China I am very proud of you. Laurel you have to eat....or our bodies shut down and go into starvation mode. I am scheduled for a fill next Wednesday but not sure if I am going to get one. I think that I am almost at my sweet spot. I have gotten stuck at least 2 times this week and am eating between 1100 to 1200 cal. I will see what the doctor says and leave it up to him. Lets keep up the good work.

Great post and its comforting to see that I am not alone I have been really hard on myself for not loosing more. I guess we all need the support that this web sit brings us.

Thank you for you words of encouragement. I am just taking it one day at a time. I hope everyone is having a great week. I am off to go work out.

I am back to working out and staying on track with my meals. I just get so discouraged how slow the weight is coming off. I am going to work on working out harder and longer. I am scheduled for another fill a week from tomorrow. Hopefully that will make a differance. No one said this was going to be easy. I am so glad to see how well both of you are doing I am jealous.

I agree I try and stay 1200 cal per day. Its been a struggle this month for me. I keep going up and down. One week I am down 3 lbs next week I am up 1. Some days I just get very discouraged. I hope to get back on track in April. Have either of your doctors told you what at practical number to loose per month is.

Hello Laurel and China, Well after the our daughters wedding the DH surprised me and took me to Palm Springs for four days. We had such a nice time. It was amazing. He took care of everything and our youngest daughter took care of my mother. It was so nice to get away and spend some quality time with the amazing man that I am married to. We just got back today and I need to start working out again. I have been really good with my food.....just did not exercing. Glad to hear that all is well with both of you.

Hello Lauren and China, Yes China you need to eat. I have noticed since I am eating smaller portions but more times a day I am loosing more. Since my last fill last friday I have very good restriction and stay full alot longer and my portions are about 1/3 smaller. I have been so busy getting ready for the wedding this week that I have no been able to work out. I will get back on track with the exercise after the wedding this weekend. Have a great week.

Hello Laurel and China, You are right I have been crazy busy with, work, Mom, family and my daughters wedding it will all be over next Sat. I cannot wait! I am really tired of all this wedding drama. Well I had my 3rd fill on Friday it went well. I am down 21 lbs. The doctor said that was very tipical for the amount of weight that I have to loose. My sister has been doing WW and she has lost 10 lbs in a month. Its a great healthy diet plan. Well I have my grandson this weekend so I am off to make his breakfast. Have a great day.

Laurel, yes its time for US. I am going to get healthy and stay healthy. I saw my mom and dad sick most of there adult lives because of their weight and lack of exercise. Friday I go for my 3rd fill wish me luck.

Thank you Laurel and China, I am taking it easier and not doing as much I have been. Like my DH tells me ... slow down. I am learning to so NO to my kids. Between the 5 of them and taking care of my ill Mom they drain me. You would think that once they are adults they are more on there own. Well they arent they just need you in different ways. I love them dearly but I do get tired. Today we are going to visit my mother in law and just relax. I am scheduled for my third fill this Friday. Love You All and thank you for being my LB family.

Thank you for your words of encouragement Laurel and China you guys are so wonderful. Have a great week.

Hello everyone. Well its been a very hectic few days. Yesterday I was at the bank standing in line and all of sudden I started to get very hot and clamy I knew that I needed to sit down....well I ended up passing out for a second. The bank manager was great she asked if I needed them to call 911 I said no. I sat for a few minutes put some cold towels on my head and drank some Water. About 15 min later I called mu DH and he came and picked me up. I went directly to my doctor and he said that everything was fine. They think its just stress. Its been very stressful planning my daughters wedding, etc. I have been working out daily and today I am feeling fine. I have gone down one dress size and am putting all my clothes that I canot wear anymore in a bag and plan on giving them to a co-worker. The pounds not be coming off but I can feel the inches. Well I am planning on having a nice evening at home with my DH. Its the first weekend in months that he is off. Janet I am very excited for you about your cruise. Sounds great. Have a great day.

Hello Laurel and China, I am here its been a crazy busy few weeks, with Valentines Day my birthday on the 18th and my daughters bridal shower last Saturday. She is getting married on 3/14. Well I am not very happy with myself I have not lost any weight in two weeks with all the parties, etc. I have really been down about it. China that is awesome 30 lbs and Laurel your weight loss is amazing. Compared to you guys I am way behind. Well I am back on track and started working out again. Keep up the good work ladies.

Hello everyone.....well it was b-day yesterday and between my b-day and valentines day its been a struggle to make good food choices. Last night I ate a piece of pie.....I felt so guilty. I actually got depressed. My DH asked my why I was so sad. Its so weird to feel guilty over a piece of pie. Well the scale has not moved this week. I have been having some good restriction since my second fill. I actually got stuck twice yesterday with a piece of totilla. I am not due for another fill unitl 3/6. I am back on track today. Everyone have a great week. Saturday is my daughters wedding shower she is getting married on 3/14 I would like to be under 200 by than.....wish me luck.

Hello everyone glad to hear everyone is doing well. I had a very busy weekend. DH surprised me on Valentines Day and took me to Palm Springs to celebrate Valentines Day and my birthday which is on 18th. We had a very nice time. I am back at home and back on track.....I had champagne for the first time. It was weird to drink. What did everyone do for Valentines Day? Lets all stick together. Have a great week.

Hello everyone. Well I still congested but feeling alot better. Tomorrow I am going to go get some chewable vitamins. I have not been able to eat much while I have been sick. I am not sure if its because of my fill last Friday or because I have been sick. I did loose 2 lbs this week so I am happy with that since I have not been working out. Tomorrow I am going to start working out again. Take care of yourselves.

Hello everyone glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I am still sick with a head cold but feeling alittle better. When I get a fill my doctor only requires me on liquids the first day, second day mushies and 3rd day regular food. I have not been working out since I have been sick hoping to get back to it by the end of this week. Well I am off to fix myself a cup of tea. Stay well everyone.

Well I am sorry to report that I am sick again...this really sucks. I have a bad cold and fever. This is the second time in less than a month. I am going to have to talk to my doctor about vitamins. I am taking vitamin C. Well I am off to try and get some rest. My entire body is aching.

I think we are all stress eaters. Most overweight people are. Don't you hate when you hear this skinny people say that they cant eat when they are stressed or upset? When I am upset WATCH OUT fridge! Well that was the old Rose the new Rose is trying not to turn to food. I had a busy day running around going to the mall went and got the hubby fitted for his tux for our daughters wedding. He is going to look so handsome. Thank you all for the well wishes. Have a great SUNDAY. China let us know what your menu is going to be like.

I am glad that everyone is doing well. China I am happy that you are feeling better. I went to the doctor today I was down 2 lbs in two weeks. He put in 1cc so I have a total of 5cc in my 10cc band now. He said that if I continue to loose about 1-2 lbs a week he will see me in a month. If I stop loosing than I can come back in 2 weeks for another fill. He likes to go slow with the fills so I will see how I do in the next couple of weeks. He suggested that I only work out 5 days a week and take 2 days off. He also wants me to wait to start sit ups. Well everyone have a great weekend.

Welcome back Allie, I am so sorry to hear about the fill problem. What weight do you want to get down to. I am 5'6 started at 229 and am currently at 211 and would like to get to 150. Sounds like we are all loosing inches...and thats a really good thing. I go for my second fill tomorrow I will let you know how it goes. Take care everyone.
