Hey ladies how are you all orginal December 2006 bandster. I have done okay with my band could have done alot better and I know that. I will admit I have found ways to eat around my band and I dont mean ice cream. I mean at meal time like drinking with meals adding more milk or butter to my pasta to make it go down( it is insane and I know this lol) I have not gained a single lb but I have not lost any weight since jan 08 I weigh 212. I am still shooting for 170 and have decided I must get there some how. I have a tear in my eye writing this knowing I could have done better even been to goal and maintaing but I am getting back on track today.... I need an adjustment but honestly can't afford one right now my insurance now longer pays for them as of the end of 07. I am getting a fill by the end of July started saving... love you all miss u all tons and Brandi hate to hear about the band that is my biggest fear as I pb alot even still

I am staying a plan because my son deserves a active mom

boo the baby is so cute I love little babies steph you sound like me before I got the flu I was pbing once or more a day but man I lost the weight hope everyone had a great easter I had a bite of a burger and some chips all together I was pretty good if we kind of forget about the easter bunny sweets I ate yum

Brandi I envy you so much to have a personal trainer with you. I joined my gym and was told I would and they never have given me the personal trainer I was promised so I bought my own home gym complete with a bow flex ab lounge stepper and treadmill bike and a ball but I am still not motivated I am nuts boo i hope you get to feeling better va how have you been

Hello my ladies did yall forget about me or think I fell off the earth I am glad to hear yall all are doing so well Steph congrats on the upcoming tummy tuck way to go :biggrin2: B man I see you are still a machine and that 18 months will fly by. I think my insurance company has the same policy. I have a horriable rash under my excess skin I need it removed when i am closer to goal Nikki- good luck with that baby boy they are a hand full :tt2: Boo- I hope you are feeling better soon :eek6: Well let me tell you ladies my story recently Our adoption of our son will be final at the end of May. Hooray!! in case yall forgot we picked my son up from the hospital right after he was born and started the adoption process way back then which was November but feels like forever ago. He has grown so much he is 4 months old now and a healthy 15 lbs I have had the flu twice:eek: . I had to have my band unfilled because I was not eating enough to get my body well. I have now had some fluid put back in but not much just 1.6 cc in my 4 cc band. My weight loss stalled in fact I gained ten lbs during my unfill period which was just over one month. I am trying to get back on track and eat right again so hard when you have a train wreck right in the middle of you r prime weight loss period oh well I will pick my self up and do it if it kills me :thumbup: I have a lso started a new job in the field i went to school for which was education/social work. I work for a private owned foster/adoptive home agency. I love it I promise to ck in more often my baby takes up so much of my time and I love that of course but not much mom time but that is fine any advice is greatly appreciated to get my butt back in gear as always ladies I have thought of you every step of my weight loss journey the good :tt2: the bad :biggrin: and the just plain ugly :tt2:

Hey Ladies I feel so out of the loop but having a newborn and finding time for anything is hard I am at a stand still why you ask I am unfilled yikes I got the flu and my doc made me get my band unfilled so I can eat it is awesome because I have craved so much and I can be naughty a few days. I have only gained about 5 lbs in about a wk and a half which I expected but I am going on v day to have it put all back in hope all is going well congrats jill check in with you later

merry christmas everyone sweethot love the pics that looks so awesome hope everyone has a awesome day with their loved ones
