    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!
