DeeNicole! You are so welcome, this site keeps me so up and positive, I just love the conversations and the help I get on here! Alex or whoever invented this site is terrific. There is even a Clothes Swap group you can join on here!

Hey I have started a blog The Golden Dayz at blogspot.com seems to be the thing to do now, be my first follower?

Our Church took an offering for Haiti last Sunday. I am so hurt for over 200,000 lives are gone. But grateful that they are still rescuing people and lots of children even today! They have a long road ahead of them!

I had my meeting today witht he Allergan Rep and it went well. He is very nice. There may be a new future for me here, so pray for me. Not real sure of myself, and I still feel so fat! I know I look better and I have lost 64 lbs since starting, but I have got to work on changing the way I see Me!

Yes, we have always wanted the Alaska Cruise, and my Brother in law and sister just celebrated an Anniversary and he has a birthday in May. So this is the year we go! I bought some hiking boots and I am going to start breaking them in now! I feel so much better and now I can really do some of my "Bucket List" LOL Have a great day!

I hope you have a wonderful cruise, after the third fill you are so full. You will probably lose weight on the cruise. They do serve high quality foods and give you so many good choices. Whatever you do, have fun! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi hope all is well! This week is flying by, had a cold last week, did not eat enough and have not dropped a pound, but I think my body knows I have a cold, and not letting me drop. When I get back to the Gym tomorrow I think I shall see the diff this week, hope you have a good week too!

Good Morning msconniemac! I am happy to be a friend to you here on LapBandTalk! I hope you are progressing well!

Meeting went well today with Allergan and my Dr. looks like some local TV, photo shoot and some on the road work! It may pan out after all, best of all they want the Journey Photos at all the during stages, every two months till goal. Looks like I HAVE to make this work now, Lots of folks depending on me, INCLUDING ME!

Thanks for your great encouraging comments on my post. I felt so much better after reading. Are you in Florida?

My weight this morning was the lowest yet! I was so Happy! This really inspires me to get going in the New Year! I AM going to get there, with a lot of hard work, and God's Grace! Have a wonderful week, too.

I will be running around naked with more in mind than weight if I can make it to be 185 by Valentines Day! That is my next challenge! LOL My sweet husband is so patient with me, lord knows he has to be! I have never seen him overweight in the 31 years we have been married! He is 6'2" tall and weighs about 175! He is really getting happy for me now. He sees the strength I am getting from losing the weight and working out at the Gym! I want to be able to hike along nature trails with him and travel a lot in our Golden Years! Keep in touch!

I know it was sounding weird about weighing in the nude, but hey I can't lie, gotta tell it like it is! LOL Anyway I know when I held the camera, it weighed two ounces! LOL Today I weighed 199.6. Went out to eat tonight and to the mall, was really good had soup and salad, then tonight a single serving of Popcorn! The popcorn was so good! My weekend indulgence. Now tomorrow back to the Gym, I am really toning, even tho I lost weight this time, I gained inches! New Muscle! Hey I am getting buff! My husband is getting happy for me now, he sees I am serious about this. I have been up and down so much, I think he thinks I will throw in the towel this time too~~~~NOT!!!! Have a good evening.

Wow you are REALLY Close! I just hung at around 204-205 for a couple of weeks, and began to Question this LB thing, then I got to working out more and eating less and there it was! I had to give it a real push. I too wish I had taken a photo of the scales on my starting weight! My toenails need painting, and my big toenail is broken so I did not post, but I might! LOL Really proud to see that number, now I can imagine 175 by Valentines Day! Keep me posted on your progress!

Thanks! I am down 63 now and counting all the way down to my Goal! I want to hit 185 by Valentines Day and 155 for my goal by July 29th, 2010! My daughter is getting married on 10-10-10 and I want to look almost as good as she does! LOL You are a real inspiration! Thanks for the comments.

Hi all, soooo sick of leftovers, so tonight I threw them all away, my husband said he did not want anymore of them. I did keep some of the Turkey, will make a salad tomorrow. Tonight I had Salmon and it was really good for a change. Drinking my water again today, getting back on track. Ready for the Christmas Season and the cooler weather too.

You are so right, each person is different, I know just one thing, I am happy for something to be lost, weather it be lbs or inches, I just say GO AWAY! You are looking great!

Happy New YOU Year! You just inspire me to go forward and never look back! Thanks!

Thanks so much for your kind comments, I have come so far, but with a long road ahead and want more from this change. It will come, I believe it too. I am a work in progress as we all are. Tomorrow it will be one year since my surgery and I am down about 90 lbs or so, give or take a few lbs for the up and downs in my life, I can live with this loss. Hope all is going well for you too!

Thanks for the good comments! How are you doing? Hope all is going well for you in this New YOU Year!

Wow you have really changed, I can see it so in your photos! Keep your mind focused on the goal. Your face is so skinny now!

Yeah! For Shonette! So happy for you!

I go in for a fill tomorrow! I have only lost about 61 lbs in five months but I am happy with that! Had a good workout at the Gym here last night~a little sore today tho! Loved your new photos, you have a great lookin family. You are so pretty and so are your daughters, they look like you a lot. I will be thinking of you Friday and praying that the Flouroscopy works. This is the ONLY way I ever get a fill. My Dr. believes in it! This way I don't get overfilled like some of the others and not able to swallow water or liquids and keep them down! You are doing really good too and it all happens in time, and I know it will be a good journey, cause it sure isn't like it use to be now. I have a pair of capri's I saved, size 24W and now I am down into 16 R's so I feel blessed. Keep Smilin!

Yeah Shonette! I am so happy for you, you are about to embark on a wonderful journey! I have never regetted the day I had the band, as it has truly changed my life for the better, I will be praying for you on the 21st. You will get a little nervous before the surgery that is natural, but it will be fine. So happy that all is working out well for you.

Thanks Debra, I love your site! Thanks for sharing the recipes, that does help in meal planning and calorie counting as well. A lot of folks after the band, just don't know what to eat. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hey did you ever find out why you bruised so bad? That is definately a nasty looking one, but isn't a bad bruise from blood? I would love to know something. How are you feeling? Are you still on liquids?
