No issue with salad at all.

My understanding (I too have BC/BS) is they want to see your committment more than your progress. I lost about 30 pounds and was still approved. Best of luck to you.

"Standing Ovation" Kudos to you for taking the first step to your new life, admitting to yourself that you need to make changes.

Congrats! You're doing awesome! Have fun shopping.

Make sure you have it on a level surface, not carpeting. If I weigh myself on a hard surface and then again on carpeting, it is very different.

Good luck!

We have the same stats. I am a 42F, started at 277 and am down to 229, no change in breasts only band. I am now in a 38F. I think genetics plays a BIG role. I have considered getting a reduction but like you my girls have always been a source of compliment. HMMMM I suppose I will consider a reduction when they become an annoyance. GOOD LUCK TO YOU>

You've got my vote. Good luck - please do let us know if you won!

This is going on the fridge at home and my office at work. I do not like one pound, I do not like it at all!!!

I too am doing the C25K and have new balance running shoes. I love them. However, you should probably try several brands before deciding, make sure you go to a store where they fit you (not a department store) and you can wear them around the store until you feel you have a good idea of how they will work for you.

I am a 40H and absolutely love the Wacoal brand. the underwires are on the outside of the bra - VERY comfortable and supportive for running.

I am here! Banded 11-09-10. I am down 40 lbs, post surgery. I feel amazing!!!! You're so very right that exercise is key as the band is only a tool not a miracle. Although I feel like it is working miracles for me (or maybe I am working the miracles with it???) Anyway congrats to you and keep Zumbaing!

Clothes Mentor - same concept (and company) as Plato's Closet but for women.

I understand your fears. For me there was absolutely no pain from the surgery itself. But the gas pain was bad, manageable but bad for a day or two.

Banded on 11/09/10 and I have lost 23.5 pounds. I had my first fill today! I am excited to be on this journey with all of you!

I too am doing a charm Bracelet. Every ten pounds earns a charm, every 30 pound mark will be a special Pandora bead. Next stop Pandora!!

It may very well be from your weight lifting. You mention your clothes are looser but your weight is staying the same. This happens very often when you are gaining muscle mass. Hang in there the scale will move when your body adjusts. Your doing great!:smile2:
