O.K., I just checked my March progress.....only one stinkin' pound lost:angry ....not acceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!! Called for a fill tomorrow morning. Hopefully I will get some nice restriction and then I am kicking ass...summer is drawing near and I want to have some fun.

Good for you Margo!

Oh wait! Youve lost 67 pounds in 7 months???

Holy cow girl ~ dont know what YOU call it, but to me, looks like youve already been kicking a$$!!!

Thanks, Paula....you know sometimes I have to sit back and realize that, in fact, I have lost 67 pounds in a 7 months!!! I get anxious sometimes and start to freak.

I get pissed too when my mother says to me, "well, you have been eating more and not making the best choices....I have noticed this"....OMG, I am nearly 50 years old and I feel like a child when she says that kind of stuff to me. I think I feel like a child when she says it because I HEARD it as a child ALL THE TIME. Wow, that's the first time I actually said that out loud...if you know what I mean?! I feel better already!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for my lapband friends and this board...

YOU GO GIRL !! Your doing wonderful

I just called for another fill myself, April 7th here I come ..... don't want to waste any more time ya know.

HUGS !!!

67 pounds is awsome, I only lost 40 pounds since I was banded, I am thinking I am ready for another fill as well. I might do one next Monday. You are all making me want a fill, I still have restriction but I stopped loosing and I am eating more then I want to.

Just a reminder - EVERY SINGLE pound lost is something to celebrate but I do agree - we all need to recommit at times to get the fill and make the changes needed for the band to work.

Margo, Before this week the last time I lost weight was January. I have beenon a major plateau. I know myself I was making bad food choices and I am trying to improve that. I often have to remind myself to look at the bigger picture also. I feel like my weight comes off so slow, a lb here, a pb there...a lb a month. I wonder if I am ever going to lose it. Next thing it has been 12 mths and I have lost 70lbs. I know it is quite a slow loss, but hey I got there, slow and steady and all that right??

Well looking at your stats slow and steady your not. You have lost as much as I have in 5 mths less time. Remeber keep looking at the bigger picture, it paints a prettier picture

Hmmmmm... have we seen Margo checking in at the challenge??? Hmmmm?

O.K., O.K., I stopped checking in on the challenge....I thought I would not be "caught"...crap!! I figure I am not in the running at this point, but I DO plan on sending my gift to the winner!!!
