i KNOWUR weight is going to come off!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait to see ur after pix!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't give up....u'll get there!!!!!!!!! i KNOW it!!!!!!!!!!:frown:

i dont have a scale at home....bcuz i know i would drive myself crazy...i weight myself every other weekend at target....they always have a digital scale open!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

do u think the physical or mental changes of losing ur weight have been harder.... and why???????? the mental changes of my weight loss have been so much more difficult than the physical....which i thought would b the complete opposite....i would love to hear what some of u r going through.....

thank u all sooooooooooo much....i was able to relate to each and everyone of u!!!!!!!!!!!!! u r all awesome and congrats on ur losses!!!!!!!!!!! well get through this....yes we will!!!!!!!!!!!:frown:

don't u wish we could choose the body parts we still want to lose weight from...and stop losing from others!!!!!!!!!!!! okay... band my face and chest are small enuff...now go attack my arms...thighs...and lower stomach....lol....i have lost a lot of weight on top...but still got some work to do on the bottom (by the way i know its work i have to do...i was joking about the band doing it...)....which is crazy because when it comes to exercise...i only work the bottom half of my body...but i'm losing from up top...maybe if i work on the top...i'll lose on the bottom...lol...on the morning of my surgery i asked for a band around my thighs...arms... and back flabs.....as well as the one around my stomach:tt2: happy mother's day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really scary skin....lol...i have some of that too!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

i wish i could've gotten use to me and the way i look now...b4 all the attention...i'm not use to the attention...i feel comfortable on this support group posting pics and threads...because everyone on here is or has gone through what i'm going through...but i guess it was the fact that i was so fat...i now have a hard time recognizing who the fat me was...i dont know if i mentioned this in my first comment...but it was so fast...faster than i ever expected....i cant walk around mad at my co-workers...i have no idea how i would've reacted to seeing one of my co-workers losing weight so fast....but sometimes i just want to say okay...enuff...

i actually i'm not having any problems letting go of food...i was strictly an over-eater...i do not have a sweet tooth...the foods i enjoy i can still eat...i just cant eat 3 helpings now...what i needed this tool for was portion control...and thats exactly what the band does.... exercising hasn't been a problem either...i really enjoy exercising now.... i honestly sometimes forget that i'm not 296 pounds...this morning i looked at myself in the mirror and had to say to myself "this is me...this is you" and i can honestly say as of today i'm excepting me now i've posted threads in the past in regards to my co-workers constantly asking me about my weight...i work for a large company...over 500 people and i literally feel like a circus clown...like a freak show i know it's because i lost so fast....i want to get use to this...but when u have people around u constantly staring...asking questions...how much have u lost...is that all ur going to eat...u've lost enough...its like...when well this wear off...when will i b viewed as "normal" (whatever that is) i'm fine around family and friends...they r all use to it...or people that didnt know me before surgery i really am having a better day today...i woke up this morning feeling...living...breathing...realizing this is me...it does take some getting use 2 though...i hope i dont sound like a head case
