Hello everyone! Just wanted to pop in and say hello to my band buddies and let you know that I was thinking of you! Things are still really busy with me, but I wanted to share my exciting news with YOU, my great support system! I hit 100 pounds today!!! Woohoo! It feels really great! It is also nice to look at my ticker and see I only have 21 lbs left (well before I look into plastics!) I hope everyone is enjoying this crazy spring we are having and I hope we can bump into each other on the boards or at a meeting this summer! Lots of love!

I sooo agree. I would have never had the energy or confidence to do all that I am doing without the surgery. I told my mom the other day that I feel like the me I had inside is finally having a chance to come out!
I am back in school to get my MSN (Masters of Science in Nursing) and to be a midwife! I have talked about this since high school, and it just seemed like the kids are in kindergarden and preschool, so it just worked! I am only going part time (6 credit hours) so it will take me about 3 years to be finished, but it will be worth it!
There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel blessed to have this amazing tool!

Yipee! yeah for today, Sarah! You had some issues with your band this year that caused your plateau! Look at the amzing year you still had! 75lbs and wearing a size 16 is awesome! Congrats!

Hey guys! Sorry I have been away for awhile, but I started back to Grad school and my free time is little! Things are going well for me band-wise. I am down 92lbs and looking forward to celebrating that one year mark!
I plan on taking some time and catch up on all of the posting I have missed! Tlk to you all soon!

Fenton-Sending you an extra ((hug)) this morning!
Hope everyone is back on track this Monday morning. I know the weekend got the best of me, and I need to get moving again!

Greg,
It is so good to hear from you! Sounds like you are doing really well! I am proud of you! Keep in touch in the new year!
-
Hey guys! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forwar to an amazing New Year!
Fenton-Welcome Home! And congrats on having a "friend" to spend the week with! It always makes this time of year better to have someone to spend it with!
NYCM- I am really sorry that your band is giving you such a hard time. I know how much stress effects my band, and you have been under SOOO much stress the last few months that it seems like your band is being tested daily! I hope the testing you are going to be having gives you the answers you are looking for!
Harley- I know exactly what you mean when you say "falling in love all over again!" My hubby and I have been more "physical" lately and that makes me feel like a gitty teenager again! It is amazing how many areas this band effects in my life!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year's Eve! Have one for me (I am working all night)! And let's keep on Keeping on in 2009!

Joyce,
I did have a very hard time fighting for my band. I actually had to wait an entire year for another open enrollment to pick up atena, thru Mt Carmel (I work there).
It was well worth the wait! You will see!
-
silly puddy--It is a long and trying, but the hoop jumping does come to an end...and it is soooo worth it!
Gypsy--Congrats on the surgery! And the weight loss! You are always welcome to our cbus support groups, but I do think there is another thread with Dayton area people!

I was not sure what we were putting for our goal. Looks like there is no time line, just a final goal. sounds good to me!

Friday is a go!!! I think this will be great!
-
I am right there with you Tess on the drama! Mine is more Friends and Work drama...but major Darma!
-
Kathy--I am all for a celebration dinner at -100lbs! And don't forget about our little-black-dress-with-red-heels deal, too!
Penny- I think that is great! I sure wish I would have saved more clothes from when I was smaller!
How about
"our time to shine is 2009!"

You are right Rhonda...they tend to assume it is the easy way out...Far from it!

I had a NSV last night at dance class for my DD. I followed her into the bathroom to help her change clothes and the owner of the studio came in after me. I turnned around and she was toe to toe with me...and in a soft voice said "ok, me and Becky (the front desk girl) want to know what you are doing to lose all of this weight."
I was taken so off guard. I think this was the first time someone I was not "out" to said something about it. I chuckled and told her that is was a combo of having the lap band, eating 1500 ish cals a day and working out. She seemed to only hear the lap band part and was full of questions. I gladly answered them and then she left to go back out in the studio.
After she left I wanted to cry. I was not sure if it was an emotional release of the joy that comes with how far I have came, or if I was worried that the small town dance studio would be buzzing with the news of my surgery!
Either way, I wondered how I would handle it when the day came, and I guess I got my answer!

Woohoo! Size 16 is great! Way to go NYCM!
-
Thanks Amanda! I will give that a try tomorrow!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is keeping warm in this winter wonderland!
I am heading out of town this weekend to spend all day Saturday and Sunday making Cookies with my Mom and Sister! I am really looking forward to the quality time we will get to spend (without our children and hubbys at our feet) but I am also a little nervous about bringing home the treats! I hate how the WRONG stuff goes down so easily!
I have really been trying to eat more Protein. I know that there were days the last few weeks that I only had 30gms or so. I know how important it is for our bodies, but it is not what I crave and I really have to chew well to have it go down.
I tried to put some of my Whey Protein in my coffee, but it did not go so well. The powder just floated up to the top, and even after mixing it well, it was very gritty. Maybe I need to try your brand Kathy???
Happy Tuesday everyone!
