Happy belated b-day to you too! Capricorns in the house!

Don't worry about it gurl! Just pick up where you left off and jump right back on the wagon! Shoot that's what i'm doing! I wasn't doing so good myself, stuck at 230lbs for ova a month, eating all kinds of stuff, etc.. But we have to start back somewhere! I just started again with the new year plus added somethings like quiting smoking! ( cold turkey too)! I just have to do it! And you can too! Let do it together!:thumbup:

Thank you! I've got to keep on with the keep on though! Lol!

Hey twin! Sorry for the late reply! I've been doing well. Slackin a little, but overall i've been good. How's everything with you! I've missed two fill appt. So i didn't reach my goal, but i'm happy with being lighter than i was last yr! Since i've lost the weight, i think i want to loss slower. Dopping so fast i think bring more complications ( hair loss, vomiting, etc) i'll give my body a change to adjust! Sometimes i do have mixed feeling about it . But i'm happy! Hope you have a nice new year's! & x-mas!

Sorry for the late reply! Dr. Lutfi is wonderful so far! He talks to you not at you, listens, and he just have a good bedside manner! My surgery went well! The only problem i can think of is waking up after surgery and having to deal with a b*tch OR nurse! Her azz was taking on the phone tryin to get her car fix or sumthing, and i'm ova there in pain! Lol! I'm hollering morphine, and she rolling her eyes! Lol! But by the time it was time to checkout the hospital i was walking out of there!

I "was" working out alot, like 5 times per week. This last month i've not done so well! But i'm moivated to get pumpin again! At least another 30lbs! I've missed two fill appt. And don't have another until jan 26th.... So i've set a goal to lose at least another 10-15 by then! Hopefully! Lol!

Thanks for the compliments! I've been good at being a big gurl i don't know how i'm going to work being skinny! Lol!

Thanks much for your encouragement!

Hey there! First i want to tell you not to get discouraged, everyone lose at different rates. I started off at 280lbs day of surgery i was 263lbs as of today i'm 240lbs. So if you're counting from day of surgery until now we're losing at the same rate! I had one fill and one coming up in the end of nov right b4 thanksgiving! Lol! I'm also working out 4-5 times per week more if time permits.you're doing just fine! The rate that's right and healthy for your body! I know it don't really show "to u" now but you'll start to see the loss soon! Take care & k.i.t.

Everything is going well! As long as the weight keep coming off i'm good! Lol! Week#8 & 35lbs down so far!

Lmao! Yep that was next day after surgery, i was leaving hospital.

Thank you for the compliments

Lmao!!! Gurl u crazy! Update on me: I went from 263lbs - 260lbs and was @ a stand still from like 2weeks! Than i checked myself and figured my portions were to big, kept working out, etc... Finally progress...260lbs- 254lbs! Something is betta than nothing! So that's where i'm at now! I have my 1st fill on sept 29th and i can'y wait! I have a 5k on the 26th! And a bbq tomorrow, so i got a cute little outfit for that and i will be posting pics of all!!! I hope to "show" some progress, lol!

HEY! I'M DOING OK! how bout yourself? i'm hangin in there until my 1st fill on sept 29th! i had to watch myself because i started eatin regular foods early! I KNOW!, THAT'S BAD! BUT I WAS SOOOO HUNGRY! IT'S WAS THINGS LIKE SALMON READY MADE IN THE CAN EGGS, ETC.. BUT I HAD TO WATCH IT BECAUSE FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS I LOST THAN GAINED BACK & FORTH 3LBS ( 260-257)! SO I HAD TO WATCH MY POTIONS, AND I'M DOWN TO 254LBS AS OF THIS MORNING! I HOPE YOU WASN'T AS BAD AS ME! I SKIPPED 1WEEK OF LIQUID AND MUSHY ALTOGETHER : ( BUT I HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF MY WORKOUTS!

Gurl i'm doing well! I'm 3 weeks out, eating regular foods, just got a yrs gym membership so i'm working out and losing no weight, yet! I'm still 260lbs. I have a doc apt. On sept. 29th so i hope i get a fill, my doc don't give em out like that! I'm also training for my 1st 5k on sept. 26th! I will be posting pics!

Congrats on you're 2nd fill, keep us posted on your adjustments with that. I like to get heads up on things like that, it really helps me cope with it as i go through! It really feels good when you start to see progress ( congrats!). I "feel" mine so far! I have nothing but time & patients to wait for the weight to come off. Even though i want to lose, i want to look healthy, not raise to many eyebrows. I also have a fear of losing hair! So i've join this site called hairlista.com good site for hair regimen for all types for hair, ck it out! Anyway, i tend to ramble lol! Oh, date of surgery i was 263lbs!
