Holy crap, girl! You've done awesome. You're an inspiration to all.

How's the band life working for you? I thought I'd come by and see how you're going.

How's the post-TT life? Feeling any better yet? I'm getting my band this Friday, the 13th... I hope I'm blessed with similar success that you've had. Wish me luck...

How's the progress going? I haven't been online lately but thought I'd make sure you're doing good!

I gotta tell you, you look great. You did an amazing job and are an inspiration to all.

I hit you up on facebook. I understand about not openly talking about it outside of here... I don't want people to know other that this community. I haven't gotten the surgery done yet, still in the works on insurance and such, but I'd like to pick at your head to get advice on how you got your success if you don't mind.

I just saw your album and I must say, you've done an AMAZING job. What's your secret? Do you have a tracker because I was trying to see where you started and are at now. Congrats!

I just saw your pics you posted. You're doing great. Good job!

I really really wish I didn't go through Beverly Hills Physicians originally... I just got a bill for roughly $8500. I already paid $4000 out of pocket with that original procedure and already had that band removed and replaced. Now I'm getting bills over a year later for a defective product/surgery.

I saw you were recently banded, congratulations! I'm sure you had your reasons for want to do this, but let me assure you that you're already gorgeous. Good luck on your journey!

I saw your started a new ticker. What is your total weight loss? I know you've been doing awesome, I like checking back on your profile as motivation in my own journey. You're an inspiration to all.

I swear every time I sign on you've lost a lot more weight. How does it feel to have lost another person worth of weight off of your body? You've done great, bud!

I think children are the best motivation for success because it's easy to give up and fail yourself, but when you're doing it for someone you love, failure is not an option... right? I'm getting banded tomorrow. I will check on you to see how yours went. Good luck!

I was just checking out your album and I must say you look stunning. Great job!

I, too, am back at work today. I'm feeling good. I am doing my best to not let anyone know I had any surgery so I'm pretending to not be in any pain and if I have to release gas I just go to the restroom. Is that TMI? Haha. Hope all goes well now that you're back at work.

I'm actually already feeling much better as far as gas pains and am really excited to introduce new foods because I'm starting to get hungry. Thanks for checking on me!

I'm doing, eh... I haven't lost weight in forever it seems like. It could be because I'm completely unfilled and going back to a lot of my old ways. I have an appointment tomorrow to have my band checked out and possibly refilled if there aren't any issues. Right before Thanksgiving... I'm determined to lose another 35 lbs before Christmas, and dammit, I'll do it.

I'm having the hardest time right now. I've been pretty plateaued the last couple weeks. I'm bouncing between 5 lbs or so. I think it's about time to get filled again...

I'm so off the wagon right now. I haven't lost weight for weeks (months?). I've been traveling so much for work, not working out as much, and just feel absolutely no restriction. The worst part is I have heartburn all the time so my doc thinks my band was too tight.

I've been going through your albums and I must say, your transformation is amazing. You're an inspiration to all on this board. Keep up the good work

I've been in a rut lately, but all in all I'm doing great! I've been under 300lbs for 2 weeks and have kept it off. That's including a vacation to Zion National Park, and a week vacation to New York City. I've been able to go out and travel maintain my weight (if not lose). Did I mention that I'm working completely unfilled? :-)

Its funny because this post is going to sound a lot like the one below mine, but I'm heading to Michigan on a trip and was searching for Michigan Bandsters and saw your profile. Just wanted to stop by and say congratulations on all your success! Great job!

Jane. I must say I love all your non-scale victories you post. You really keep that thread going. Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say you're doing awesome. Keep up the good work!

Just looked through your progress album. Great job! Keep up the good work.

Just went through you're album and you're awesome! Great job. You're an inspiration to all.
