Thank you for your message. Also congradulations are in order for you as well hitting the 100's!!!!! I know it must be nice to have a 1 in front of anything dealing with weight. It's stories like yours that keep me motivated to reach the goals that you have obtained. Best of luck and keep moving forward in 1derland I will be there soon.

I was banded on Feb 18, 2009 and have not had a fill being that I work in Iraq so for me every pound or pounds lost without having my first fill is a promising sign for me. I get my first fill in June and I'm looking forward to kicking some more pounds to the curb. Thanks for the well wishing I really appreciate it.

Thanks, B.

Thanks for the words of encouragement it does get hard but I am trying.

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a woman who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable

I No exactly what U R goin thru. After surgery I was like WHAT DID I DO 2 MYSELF??? I was devastated! We R our own worst enemy. Look forward 2 life instead of letting it pass us by, engage N life instead of sitting quietly N the corner. UR Journey as well as mines is just begining. Wait until U have 2 get new clothes, compliments, new bill of health N never having 2 worry bout savin those old clothes just N case U gain back the weight. NEVER AGAIN, out with the old N oversized N hello 2 the new. U were ready 4 change N this is the begining of it. If U need 2 talk hit me up anytime."B good 2 URself starting today N forever!

Later, B.

How are you doing just wondering if you had your surgery or anything yet?

Hey Monkey thanks for the message. I was banded on Feb 18, 09 and have being trying to get the food i need. I didnt really think about can foods until BG messaged me so I'm gonna take look and get some protein food and find some more sugar free food cause the food I ordered that was sugar free they didnt send for some reason. However I appreciate your message. Thank you,

Thanks for the message, as for protein the only thing the prepare is grilled chicken, I try to be careful with the chicken because It gets stuck sometime the same as turkey. I didn't think about canned meat thats great. As for sugar free I did order sugar free jello and alot of it but for some reason they didnt ship which I didnt know until I open the box and there was a not that said they were sorry they didnt ship. One thing though with the canned meats is there a lot of sodium thats one thing that the consultant told me to watch out for. As I've been eating I have noticed that I do use salt and I have never been a big salt eater. However, thank you for the comment it was very helpful.

Thank you, B.

Hello Judy I saw you made a post on another persons page and saw that you drank slim fast is that after you had your surgery, or was that before I'm try to lose some more even though I havent been to have a fill I was banded on Feb 18, 09 and work in Iraq but wont have my first fill until I go on vacation in June. I am stuck at losing only 16 pounds and dont want my Dr. Holis to think that I havent been working my butt off cause I have but I want him to be proud and so do I but its kinda discouraging to know that I am at a stand still even though I'm working hard. I may be only losing inches right now cause my clothes are fitting lose but the scale is telling a total different story. I didnt mean for this to be long but I guess I'm just venting a little bit. Sorry about that.

I know the feeling about being comfortable in what you wear it really determines your mood. I tell you I am in the same boat with you when it comes to just walking into a store and not the plus size side. You know with all of us getting healthy and fine were going to knock Lane Bryant and Miss Stewart right on out of business. I HOPE IT HAPPENS!!!! Keep me posted on how your doing.

Yeah i know what you mean about the booty..lol... Also I never had the problem of wearing my pants down in the thigh area, until I was at work and my pants ripped. I was so embarrassed and that was an even bigger reason for me to have my surgery. When I go home I'm going to make a toast to you and I and no more ruined cloths WOOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Its just a friendly challenge but the money would be to have your own personel piggie bank which is used to track your progression. So for every pound you put in a dollar and for every gain you take a dollar out. Once you reach your goal then you take the money saved and buy a new outfit with it. Just a motivational tool to keep us losing and tracking our progress to stick with it.

I was just thinking something week to week. Track your food with a small little note pad that you can just put in your purse or back pocket. Continue to do your regular work out and then incorporate and exercise or activity that you thought was exciting or I wish I could do that and try it. Blog about the the activity and how far you got with or if you conquered it along with it post your current weight. I was thinking about doing this myself but that would be cool to do make a piggie bank and for every pound you lose add that many one dollar bills to your bank, if you gain take that dollar or dollars out. Once you make your goal break your bank and use that money for your first new outfit in your new body. Just an idea. What you think?

Thats a good one!!!You know I have never thought about it but I haven't crossed my legs since I got down to about 205 that was about 3 years ago. I try it now and again but I must say mission impossible...lol.. As I get this weight down I will hit you back and let you know how its coming.

Sorry about the NSV there are some many abrreviations and acronyms for things I'm still learning I read some of the other messages so I'm guessing you just joined the family. I hope everything is going well and your doing good. Keep me posted with how things are going and if you need a push I got you! Take care.
