I tried this and it has not helped....anyway Alex said they are going to change it so I wouldn't worry about it anyway!

I have to agree with Jess, my gosh you haven't even got out the gate, and your already changing horses? Plus I also agree about your BMI....It is low to begin with...not sure if they would even consider you for rny!

Even when I weighed 150 I thought I was fat! I used to go to diet Dr.s all the time.....to get shots, or pills or what ever the fad was. I would just say I need to loose 30 pounds, they would give me diet pills and a shot (vit. or what ever and give me a 1000 calorie diet plan and out the door I would go, 2 weeks worth of amphetamines neatly tucked away in my purse! That was a long time ago, and they don't really prescribe anything like what they used to! Oh well!

Hey all you August Rushers, have you updated your profile? Have you put your before and to date pictures? I have, I wish all of you would, so we can see what everyone looks like!

Thank you Alex for your response, I guess I won't b***h about it any more! Can't wait to see the new layout.

Thank-you bunches Cindy! Gotta say it feels good!

Congradulations, you must be so proud!:Banane04:

Sounds to me like your doing everything right! First,, you are not at your sweet spot, so of course you are going to be hungrier! If you are exercising 5 days a week, then you are more than likely adding muscle, and since muscle weighs more than fat...that could be why it isn't showing. I went 3 months without loosing, but during that time, I went from a size 18 to a loose size 14...I know it's crazy, but that is just the way it is...hang in there and keep the faith!

well butterfly, you go to your settings, then profile, then go to your avatar and upload your photo....I can see you have it on your profile so it should not be a problem! Good luck!

I was banded on Aug.3, 2010 tomorrow is my one year aniversary! I started at 262 (day of surgery) and today I am 199....gone from a 22 to a size 14 pant and a 2 or 3x to a large!:success1:

Change Your Before Photo Well wonders never cease! I did it any way folks, this is one year out....can't wait to see what next year brings!

"boobiedo, and belliedo" I freaking laughed my ass off on those.....super cute! My band name is "Chauncy" I just like that name, plus might give me a chauncy to look good again!

I agree with Cindy....the body needs time to figure out what the heck happened.....then all of a sudden your clothes are falling of BAM! Also you might hit a platue for 3 months but go down 4 sizes (like me)! I really wouldn't worry about it just keep doing what you are doing!

I would use a calorie calculator on line to figure out how many calories you need and go from there........how many calories you can have without gaining....I can have between 1616 and 1865 and loose weight, but I am tall so give it a try!

Go to your profile......then avatar upload from your computer.....you may have to resize it to fit....go to resizemyphoto.com ( or something likt that) and make it into an avatar.....then you can upload! Hope that helps!

Well hello everyone! This will be my first challenge, ever! I finally hit onederland today and I'm feeling pretty motivated! Name, real or screen~Kelly Age~50 Weight on August 1st~199 Goal Weight for August 29th~190 Exercise Goal for August~6 days a week!

I have been wondering about the whole spanx thing.......are they hot to wear?? and what part of the body do they generally cover? What do you wear them under? Jeans? I guess I could google them, but want to hear your imput first!

Hi gang......well, I finally made it to onederland! Tomorrow being my one year aniversary I guess it is a good present! But it is not really a present because I have worked very hard to get here. I have fallen by the wayside a couple two three times, but have managed to get back on track. I will have to say that the best thing I do is journal, and exercise! Everyday I write down everything (well not every day), but just about, and if I'm off track I write down what I did so I remember why I was off track, or I write "free day" which I give myself a couple two-three times a month, depending! I know the rest of the weight will take me a while, cause I am more about getting a routine and making wise choices than hard core dieting....and quite frankly, I can't afford new clothes right now, so I'll just take it slow. I am sitting here in a loose size 14 (I am 5'9") and a form fitting shirt and I have to say it feels really good! I have not been this size in over 16 years. Well all for now,lets all look forward to our next year and even better changes!:Banane04: :Banane04: P.S. I am now only overweight, not obese any more!

I was banded on Aug.2, 2010 and I have lost 62 pounds, but I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14.....go figgur! Love my band!

Well girl I am the same way.....but you really have to be patient at this point of the game....it will get harder and harder unless you step the game up! Are you feeling me? I know I need a fill, but I can do bunches by eating right and exercising, I have been on a platue for months, but my size has gone from an 18 to a 14 so something is going on! Come on we have come this far we will conquer! Just keep doing what you are doing and i think it will work....good luck my friend!
