March 17, 2009 Today is my daughter's birthday. She will turn 5 years old at 10:00 a.m.! We are celebrating her birthday at a park. I am going to be surrounding my slider foods...cake, chips, etc. The good thing is that I am scheduled for a fill tomorrow morning. This fill will hopefully make recommitting much easier. My TOM is coming to an end too, so I can start weighing myself again tomorrow morning. I am on my way...

March 16, 2008 Today has been a long day. We celebrated with a Family and Friends' Day at church and what a time! There were so many people present that it was absolutely amazing. You know, it's so easy to trust God in most areas of my life, but for some reason, it's difficult to know what to do about my weight issues. Tomorrow starts my spring break...YEAH! I am so excited that I will be able to get some much needed rest. It's also going to be a good time to refocus on my weight loss goals. I normally weigh everyday, but I haven't for the past couple of days because of my TOM. My goal this week is to refocus and recommit to my health! I am on my way...

I am impressed...81 lbs. is fantastic weight loss. I am amazed that you lost that amount of weight in a relatively short amount of time. You should be proud of yourself. Just think, you don't feel like you've given 100% and you've still lost a lot of weight. Keep up the good work and try not to be too hard on yourself. You're doing great!

This story is great! What a wonderful problem to have... KUTGW!

March 15, 2009 It's 12:09 a.m. and I can't sleep for thinking about the life that I have missed because of my struggle with obesity. For the past 10 years, I have gained and lost the same 50 or so pounds several times. In November of 2008, I decided to take matters into my own hands and I had the lap band surgery. I thought it was the answer to my prayers and in some ways it was...I did not gain any weight during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays (for the first time). However, actual weight loss has not been easy. I thought I would be half-way to goal by now, but I am not. I have lost 17 lbs. in about three months. I recognized that I would have been more successful had I been more disciplined. I have some issues that must be addressed in order to have any weight loss success. I tend to sabatoge myself in amazing ways...chips, candy, icecream...you name it. So...I need to recommit to myself and my success. I am starting this blog as a daily journal to record my thoughts, successes, and challenges. I plan to exercise daily as well. Okay...I can do this!

You and I the exact same starting weight and both of us are averaging about a five pound weight loss per month! KUTGW!

This thread has been a godsend. I started liquids today and I feel so much better. I have been sipping on Special K Protein Water and it really does take the cravings away. I had my lap band surgery Nov. 20th of this year and have only lost 13 pounds. However, I have been able to eat more than I thought possible during this Christmas holiday. The good news is that I haven't gained any weight, but the bad news is that I am not losing as I would have had I not overindulged myself! I was so... happy to see this thread and I hope with the new year, will come the new attitude that someone mentioned in their post. You guys are great! Delivered
