Hi Marw (Rose) ~ Thanks for checking in with me. I am doing well hit a few bumps in the road was losing consistantly now I go up and down and been fighting with the same pound for sometime now. I know it is my food choices and my decreased activity but a lot has been going on in my life and it has been difficult to stay focused on my health and weight. I have been looking for a job for awhile now and it has been hard. Hope you are well and Thanks again for the contact.

Janet Thanks for the message and the photo compliment I appreciate it. I have been heavy for so long and I avoid cameras like the plague. ) I have to work on the self love thing because all I see is fat when I look at my pics. That one was taken in the past few months but I keep avoiding putting one on lapbandtalk because I am embarassed how big I have gotten. I will come to grips with it someday and post before and afters but I haven't had the courage to take "afters" marking my progress. It is coming off but I would like to see some quicker results. Again thanks for the message and I look forward to sharing my journey with you pics and all!

Hi Janet thanks for the message. First off I want to say you look GREAT for 58!! I would have guessed mid to late forties - no kidding! I am so happy for you and the fact that you are healthier now since the Lap Band. I am sooo excited to see changes in my body and my blood pressure was good today 132/83 with no meds. It has been crazy high in the past near stroke! My highest weight was 245 give or take a few but I am fairly short so it was really bad on my everything... knees, back, breathing, blood pressure, self esteem, confindence - you name it ) I am so happy to be on the road to a healthier me I have five children age 3 to 23 (yes you read that correctly) and I would love to do fun stuff instead of sitting on the sidelines of my life. I am on my way back to being me. Thank you for sharing your life with us it is inspirational and encouraging, again THANK U!

Hi, we are of similar starting dates and age so I thought we could be friends to help cheer each other on.

Just wanted to share some info. I am using a body wrap product to tighten my loose skin works great especially on my flabby arms and abdomen. I will use this throughout my weight loss LAP-BAND? journey to keep my skin smooth and tight - Thank you Michelle for sharing with me! www.wraptodaylosetoday.com

You should do fine just make sure you sip water often so you don't get dehydrated for me it is just taking the time to get the necessary fluids.
