i'm finally recovering from massive hair loss....i posted a thread in regards to hair loss and a member suggested pre-natal vitamins...i take biotin 2...but the pre-natal r really helping!!!!!!!!!! i wash my hair as less as possible 2...i know...yuck...but with some spray in conditioner or slicked back ponytails with some good smelling gel...you'll keep ur hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have no idea were to tell u to get a sports bra at....i'm a 36 B...:smile2:...but i just wanted to tell u ...i think ur decision to take TKD...is sooooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!and since ur getting rid of some of that boobie...can i have some....lol

good morning!!!!!!!!! before i start this thread....u all are looking sooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!! i'm seeing more and more loss everyday on here!!!!!!!!!!!! u all are amazing!!!!!!!!!! so here it goes....i have completely changed the way i eat....don't get me wrong i enjoy what i eat....but its a complete change...no bread...no pasta...no fast food...(i do treat myself to el pollo loco every friday...1 chicken breast...1 side of small pinto beans...and sometimes i go all out to my favorite mexican food restaurant and eat a WHOLE TABLESPOON OF GUACAMOLE....lol...thats my cake...chocolate ....cookie) other then my occasional treats...i eat very healthy...my best friend had weight loss surgery she stills eats fast food...mac and cheese...starbuck fraps...hasnt really changed her eating habits....yes she eats a lot less...but just a lot less of the same food that got her to need weight loss surgery....but here's my question (finally...lol) is it better to completely change ur eating habits...well u eventually get tired of it ?????? or is it better to incorporiate unhealthy foods into ur diet?????? i look at it two ways...eventually ur going to hit a plateau and stop losing...if u havent changed ur eating habits...there is a good possibility ur weight will come back...on the other hand well u stay eating healthy (i know its up to each individual)...i'm starting to worry that i've been eating so healthy that if eventually i eat a small portion of mac and cheese i'll blow up again...or is that just my yo-yo dieter's frame of my mind???????????

I just recently experienced my band getting tighter more than a week after my fill...i usually can feel my restriction the next day after a fill....but this last fill (my 5th) was different...i was feeling very little restriction for a few days....i even made an appointment to get another one....then bam!!!! it hit me!!!!!!! i called and cancelled my fill...i have the restriction i like...but it did take about a week to feel it this time...i would wait a few days if i were u....if i would've got another fill...i would've been over filled.....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100 pounds is a HUGE loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm just curious to know...how much weight u've lost....

i dont have any advice....but i really do feel for u!!!!!!!

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

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:

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

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! i KNOW ur going to b successful...i can tell by ur attitude!!!!!!!! and by the way it feels great to dress cute in the summer....this is the first time in years...i said to myself i cant wait for it to b hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....lol

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a failure?????????? no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you fell off and now ur getting back on....a failure would've fell off and stayed off!!!!!!!!!! ur going through a lot...cut urself a break....u have lost 20 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i admire u for admitting u fell off....recognizing what u need to do to fix it....and soon u will be on here posting ur loss again!!!!!!!!!! ur going to do great!!!!!!!!!! and congrats on ur loss!!!!!!!!!

it annoys the crap out of me when people post 15 pictures of their dogs...cats...sand...nails...its like what does this have to do with weight loss???????? did ur pet get banded?????? or when people post pics and (i'm sorry) you have no idea if they r b4 ...after...or what....or when people post pictures and dont tell u how much weight they have lost....i understand weight is a personal topic...but you are on a support group site whose member were or are overweight....

143 pounds in 10 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm coming to hang out with u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u are off to an AWESOME start!!!!!!!!!!!!! u r going to be at goal in no time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.....

oooooooooooooooo

i did a liquid diet for 8 days prior to surgery...and lost all of 5 pounds...i lost 37 pounds my first six weeks...and took another huge dip in december...i really didnt keep track of my loss...which i totally regret now...i myself didnt expect to lose this fast....

have u tried the vanilla wassabubblebutt?????? i have ordered a few flavors i havent really liked....but i was thinking a lil vanilla with a strawberry on the go mixed in.....hummmmmm...lol

by the way its cheaper on fitness first usa.com....and i was very dissapointed with the customer service i recieved from baritriac advantage....and fitness usa has it in vanilla which i'm going to try when i run out of fuzzy navel....
