i'm sooooooo happy to hear those lil bowls r working 4 u!!!!!!!! thank you for all ur kind words...i'll have to come visit u one of these days...i've always wanted to visit the south!!!!!!! with a name like carolann i'll really fit in!!!!!! lol

i think u look hoooootttttt at where ur at....but aaaaaa i'm not one to be able to stop going down and down and down...lol...i know 4 sure at 174 i was wearing an 8 in old navy jeans...small 10's still fit but at 174 i was more an 8 than a 10

i was banded on 10/6/08...i weighted 296 pounds...i now weight between 158-160...i seem to b holding right there...thank u for ur compliments!!!!!

6 more days until show-time...lol...if u ever have any questions please message me...u can ask me anything and i'll give u a honest answer....(if i know it...lol)

thank u for all the compliments!!!!!!!! good luck with ur decision!!!!!!

they measure out to be a 1/2 cup of food..i eat breakfast...lunch and dinner out of them. :-)

i do have extra skin on the top part of my arm...i havent done any weight training...i'm getting my stitches out on 10/19.....i start working with a personal trainer on 10/24 to tone my upper thighs...upper arms and abdomen.

my question is...i was doing the rotating stairs on a level 12...since i had to cut some of my time at the gym i now do them at level 15...is it the time spent or the intensity of the work-out?

do u think cutting those 15 minutes out of my work-out will balance out if i exercise more intensely? thank u for ur time

hey kartman!!!!! congrats on ur success!!!!!!!! i have a question for u....my exercise routine consisted of 30 mins on the elyptical...55 mins on the rotating stairs and 30 mins on the treadmill...i have to cut my time short due to my son's homework...i can't do any weight training until my stitches are removed from my tt

there are a lot of success stories...most people that are on here r having problems and the ones that have succeeded are just living a normal day to day healthy life...not really needing any type of support...i'm on here to help any1 that needs it (including you)...its by far a walk in the park...but can be made a little simpler if u stay focused on the end result and not so much on the bumps in the road....

thank you!!!!! and a happy bandiversary to u 2!!!!!!!!

i did have a panniculectomy and a mini tummy tuck on august 17th...i had a lot of skin hanging from my lower stomach...my arms are okay...im going to have a thigh lift in janurary....i'm not a fan of plastic surgery at all...not looking 4-ward 2 it at all....:-(

im so worried about maintaining...scared to death...i wasn't scared i wasnt going to lose...i just worry everyday about keeping it off...i really do...

thank u so much!!!!!!!! im not to good on the computer either...dont feel bad...message me anytime....with any question...i'm more then happy to help

thank u soooooo much...i'm more worried about maintaining then i was about losing....its a whole new journey for me to keep it off now.

i do have arm flabs....they aren't horrible and luckily the excess skin is staying on top and underneath my arm...u cant c my wings unless my arm is extended out...i havent lifted weights yet...i'm going to start working with a trainer after my stitches come out...they don't really bother me...my arms r pretty thin...my friend who had bypass surgery isnt exercising at all...her excess skin is literally falling...the excess skin from the top of her arm has fallen to where ur arms bend...the top of my thighs bother me more than my arms...i will go back under the knife janurary of 2010...oooooo joy...lol
