Way to go! You are doing well!

Don't give up. You will get there, it just takes longer for some people.:confused:

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Is everyone looking forward to the Christmas Holidays? I am. My goal is to be 204 by the end of the year, but the way the weight has been coming off I may be in to onderland, which would be fantastic. Hope everyone is well. I am doing great with this new fill. It's great.

I've only had one episode that I can recall and it was at the beginning before any fills. I have a 10 cc band. I usually have a protein shake for breakfast and a small lunch of around 300 calories and 300 calorie dinner. I mean it varies what I eat. I can eat nearly anything just way smaller portions and I try to stick to lean meats and fruits and veggies. Don't eat much bread,pastas, or rice. I exercise 5 days a week, 30 - 60 minutes a day. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have some pictures on my page, in my album. Just click on my picture and go to my album. My third fill went fine. She only gave me .6 ccs. That's puts me a total of 6.1. It's going fine so far. How is everyone else? Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone! Tomorrow I go for my third fill and can't wait. I was down two more lbs this morning which is great. My sister brought me some of her 16's and a 14 and they all fit. I am so happy, just can't wait til my size 10's can fit. Shouldn't be long. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Don't give up! In my opinion I think you maybe working out too much and maybe gaining muscle. Me personally try to stick to one or two protein shakes a day, plus a sensible dinner sticking between 800-1500 calories ( Most days 1200 calories). I work out 5 days a week 30- 60 minutes a day. I do DvDs like Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser, Tae Bo, and Walk away the pounds. These seem to work for me especially Jillian she kicks my butt, literally. It will begin to budge, don't get discouraged. Take care>

That's great! I'm hoping with my next fill that I am there as well> I feel that I am almost there> I have 5.5 at the moment, probably be at 7 next time. Will see. Great job.

I made it to my THanksgiving goal. I am so happy. My next two goals is to be 206 for Christmas and 204 for new years eve. My next fill should help me with that. Good luck to everyone else. I'm also glad that some of our boys are coming home.

I'm a busy mom and found out that I get better results from DVD's than the gym. My favorites at the moment are The biggest loser DVD's and Jillian Michael's DVD's. I tell you Jillian's workouts are short compared to others but I tell you she will work you. They are great. I also like the Walk away the pounds videos. I have asked my husband for Chalean extreme for Christmas, so we will see. I hope this helps.

Second one has worked better and longer I believe. I definetaly have some restriction, I just feel hungry sometimes between meals and hopefully this next fill will help with that. Going to post some new pictures. Everyone should check them out. Oh the scale moved today. 219 finally. Happy about that.

I'm still stuck at 220 as well. 2 lbs away from my Thanksgiving goal. Hopefully it will come off before then. Been more hungry this week, scheduled for a fill on the 23rd. Take care.

Sorry, don't know. Never heard of it happenning. If you are worried call the nurse at the doctor's office if possible. Take care.

That's fantastic. I am also doing well so far although I still can eat pasta, rice and things like that as long as I chew them well, although I try to limit them. I'm eating the same amount as you and am happy to say that I have lost 7 lbs since I got my fill two weeks ago. I also hope that everyone is doing well.:smile:

I know me too! I am now at 5.5 cc and I can tell the difference, I mean I go sometimes hours without feeling hungry. It's great! I hope the scale starts to move for you as well.

Hey thanks, but it's finally moving again. Down 50 lbs today!:thumbup:

I agree. 1-2 lbs a week is great. That is what I have been losing the last few weeks. Although last week I lost 4 but I did get a fill as well. Hope all is well.

Wanted to post quickly before I head to work. Still holding at 227 which is frustrating because I have been on liquids all week from my fill. The only thing I can think of is when I am on liquids I only get about 800 calories and maybe my body is in starvtion mode and not letting go of any weight, so now that I'm back on foods and getting in more calories maybe it will start to move again. I hope. I've been exercising, so that is definetly not the problem. Well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Take care.

Recieved my second fill on Monday and I am at a total of 5.5 ccs. I have been on liquids and today is the first day that I have been hungry. Can't wait to start on solids to check out the restriction. Haven't lost any weight since last week although I have been on that time of the month this week, so we will have to wait and see.

Hope everyone is well. I'm fine. Guess everyone's been busy. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.

Hello all. I have found out this week that I lose better doing exercises at home doing exercise videos than at the gym. I have been doing different ones and work up more of a sweat so I think that is what I am going to do instead of the gym, thank goodness I have no contract. Down another 2 lbs! Where is everyone, it has been quite the last few days. Hope everyone is doing ok.

I've had the same hunger problem today although I have been able to control the eating part better. Just can't wait til Monday.

I feel like I ate well more than I should of tonight but I was truly hungry, not head hunger but real hunger and I didn't even get full, I'm telling you, I can't wait till I get another fill. I just want to be able to eat about a cup of food 3 times a day and be satisfied with that and not be hungry in between. Well going to exercise now. Need to burn off the extra calories.

Thank you! You are doing well too, hopefully the fill will help get you out of the rut.
