    I'm totally lost! I've been gone for over a week & when I clicked on this site I thought I'd entered the Twilight Zone! Did anyone know this was coming? I think I could cry:( I feel like a duck out of water. I'm not that good with a computer to start with so this is really frustrating. I hate change especially when it comes to the computer. Your not alone Boo I wish they would of left things alone!
  2. That's wonderful news! Keep up the great job your starting to reap some wonderful benefits.

    Wow your doing great...won't say how proud I'am of you..lol! You've been exercising longer than me & I'm even starting to get bored. I think today I will call around for some dance class options. Have a wonderful dinner & I hope they have some yummy fish.

    Your doing great & yes do it for yourself! Mom's & daughter's have odd relationships. They can annoy us like no one else, but also be your best friend.

    Congrats you have reached what a lot of lap banders are striving for! Good show:)
  6. Wow! I just viewed your pictures & you must be so proud. You look great & the difference is astonishing. This gives me hope that one day I too can have a great after picture. I loved the one on the bench where your trying to hide your double chin with your purse..lol

    You look great! The other day I went to a restaurant & asked for a table, they only had booths left. The whole way to the booth I nearly had a melt down...what if I don't fit? Thank goodness I did fit, but I bet skinny people never think about this. Here's to getting over these fears!!!

    I'm sure your not the first person nor the last to do this You learned a valuable lesson for down the road even after a fill (I'm on fill #4 & still could eat candy if I wanted). I'd probably go back to poached soft fish, canned chicken, scrambled eggs (southwestern egg beaters are great), cottage cheese. Just for a low-cal jump start. The weight gain was your wake up call, but I think you heard it loud & clear. lol...Good Luck you can do this!
  11. Sounds like you had a blast! I agree compliments are a great motivator. This trip might be just what you needed to conquer these last 20 lbs. Good Luck!

    I'm glad you figured out how to work around this fill. The weight will probably start dropping off soon. Good Luck!
  13. I see a huge difference in your pictures for only 3 plus months. I think you look great! Your back on track so keep up the fight! :-)

    You made the right choice not to turn to food. This site will be a blessing for you. It's always given me a place where people understand. Thanks to your husband for keeping us safe!

    Your right this band is not the easy way out. It still takes willpower & planning. I found once I started losing the weight I like that feeling better than brownies. :-) Good Luck!
  16. Winks commented on Boo_68's blog entry in Blog 102133
    I hope this fill turns out to be the one that leads you back to your sweet spot. Bread is not my friend either, but it's funny I don't really miss it. Good Luck!

    Congrats 48 lbs. is excellent! 50 will be fabulous in a 4 month time span. Keep up the good work & presents are so fun :cursing:
  18. I don't think my fills have made me as tight as you describe. I do watch chicken when I eat it though. I'd give it a week to see if it loosens up. It might be that your just swollen from the fill. The only thing my Dr. said to worry about is coughing at night (well that's not really true but it's what stuck out) he said to call for that. Keep us posted :cursing:
  19. Thinking of you & praying for a speedy recovery. I think you will do just fine in the weight department too. You have this weight loss thing down :-)

    I'm pretty sure your going to reach your goal and then some :cursing: That's a wonderful present to yourself!

    Good job on your run this morning:) We have mail in ballots so this makes it easier. I'm with you on the ads...I live in Washington State how'd you like to be a Seahawk fan...lol
  22. Winks commented on Bklynike's blog entry in Blog 90427
    I always look forward to your green shirt pictures :cursing: They give me hope that as we lose it really is noticeable. Wow 60 lbs. in 4 mths. is a lot! I'd be over the moon & I bet you are too.

    Well it's finally here thank goodness. Don't get me wrong I like Halloween. I love seeing my grandkids dressed up so cute & all the other little Trick or Treaters. What I will be happy to see go is these candy bars! I bought them way too early (Oct. 10th) funny I remember the day. lol... It's a miracle I haven't broke down & opened them! Well it's only 8 something in the morning but I'm ready to give out candy! Hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Halloween:biggrin: P.S. Pass it around I'm giving out full size candy bars so I can get rid of these suckers quick:-)
