This group is for weight loss support for lower bmi bandsters (of course anyone is welcome!).

For encouragement, tips, accountability.... Give stats, helpful advice, etc.

How much weight you have lost, how long it took. etc.

In some case I have found it takes a lower BMI patient a lot longer to lose the weight.

Introduce yourself and jump on in!!!:welcomeB: :welcome2:

Audree

My all time goal was to hit near/at 145 by my 34th birthday (yesterday) and I made it!!!!!

I weighed in at 147 today!!!!

I have also lost a lot in inches!!!!

Now, I feel very compelled to start an exercise program.

I have no excuse.

I am working from home now and have a new bike and a new 21 mile bike trail near my home, elyptical/stationary bike at home, workout CD, an IPod with all my favorite songs!!!

How are you all doing???

Congratulations! That is wonderful! You are truly an inspiration.

Happy belated birthday and congratulations on making your goal, Baby! That's just awesome and I know you are feeling terrific right now.

I have some goals to hit too.....scary, but I'm trying my darndest to get there. On January 4th, I'm having surgery...tummy tuck, breast lift/aug and lipo and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I want to lose 10 more pounds by that date, so I have started working out too.

I am training three days a week for an hour; this has been going on now for three weeks. This week I started walking too. I'm trying like the dickens to shed the pounds. I'm pretty sure I can do it.

There are a few hurdles to get past though. I am quitting smoking on November 15th and then there is Thanksgiving and Christmas to get through. I am staying positive that I can get through these things....not only not gaining weight, but actually losing weight. Whew......

Anyway, it's always good to hear everyone's progress. I know it helps keep me going! Best wishes everyone!

That is awesome!!! I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and lip. Then I gained 30 pounds!!!:faint::faint:Big no, no. You are not supposed to do that. So, I am barely really seeing the results of that surgery 3 years ago because I had covered it all up with fat.

Try to lose as much as you can before the surgery so they can take off as much lose skin as possible.

Congrats!!

I am doing well. I exercise at the gym every day except Mon. I can't seem to drop below 160. This is the 2nd time I have been on a plateau that lasted 2 months. I have faith I can make the scale move again.

Thanks guys!!!

We can do this together!!!

Would anyone like to step it up and have a weigh in day, posting our workouts and how we are eating (sticking to the bandster rules).

Hi Friends,

Thanks for the encouragement. I got several private messages and it meant a lot.

I've got a NEW state of mind. I have been blessed to have gotten this band and I'm gonna do WHATEVER it takes to make it work! :faint:

Let's keep encouraging each other.

BabyGotBack: YOU ROCK!!! I'm trying to get a stomach like that...YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap2:

Yeah, let's do that!!! That will help everyone see what kinds of workouts/menus, etc. work and will hopefully help each other along the way.

I'd join in on some sort of accountability thread. I tell you though, I'm one of the unhealthiest eaters around. I wouldn't want anyone to try to follow my menu!

:clap2: You guys are so encouraging! You know the funny thing? Until I took that picture, I didn't even know my stomach looked like that. I don't really wear revealing things and never show mid riff, but did for the picture. I really had no idea!

I had a tummy tuck and lip 3 years ago, then proceeded to gain 30 pounds right after. You stay swollen for about 6 months so I never got the chance to see the effects of that surgery till now!

Looks like we have some people interested in the accountability, so LETS DO IT!!!

Let's start on Monday, okay???

Even if you don't eat well, sometimes writing it down helps to change bad habits.

So, who is with us?

Thank you for the support you are doing really great!!! How long did it take you to feel restriction I can eat anything I want first fill Dec 1

I am not sure if you are talking to me, but I will answer!

I did not feel restriction until my 3rd fill to 3 cc's so it took, let's see what was it??

Like, 6 months or so?

But, I took QuickSlim30 during that time and it helped curb my appetite.

I didn't get to exercise today because my kids didn't have school and I had to go to my grandmas to help her move furniture. Somewhat of a workout, but I plan on doing one tomorrow!

I didn't eat too much today. I had my hot tea with soy milk in the morning, chicken ( 1 small piece, a little bit of cesaer salad, and a little artichoke dip with chips-I went out to eat with my grandmother and we shared a plate.

Dinner-some green Beans

How are you all doing today??

I am also maintaining my weight loss!!!

Audree, they are advertising SlimQuick on tv. I am guessing it's not the same thing as what you are taking? I noticed today that it's

backwards from what you take QuickSlim.

I won't have the money until after Christmas now that it's getting so close to the holidays. I really want to try it.

Yeah, it isn't the same thing at all. QuickSlim30 is a combination of 12 herbs that actually do a lot more than weight loss.

The other type of "diet pills" have unhealthy ingredients and don't really do much.
