Who's out there? We don't have too long to wait!!!:clap2:

hi everyone! i haven't been on in awhile...as usual it's crazy around here. I have been stuck for about two months now...that's also part of the reason i haven't been on...when the scale is moving, it's exciting to get on here and move my ticker:) i'm not too discouraged...i love my new size 16 (from 22/24) body, but this is the first time i haven't had steady loss since my surgery. i had my first fill 2 weeks ago...they couldn't believe i'd lost 49 lbs without a fill...that was encouraging. i thought the scale would start moving again immediately, but not so. i am not as hungry between meals as i was before, so that is good.

glad to hear about all the grandbabies...my parents love being grandparents...my kids have them wrapped around their fingers:) congrats everyone!

49 pounds without a fill really is an accomplishment as far as I'm concerned! I'm sure you'll fall off that plateau soon. I think exercise is the key. If you are already exercising, switch it up in some way and see if that helps. We can do this!!!

Happy 6 month Bandiversary!

Hey I just realized I am no longer severly obese, just obese!

My band has given me my life back!

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY BAND:

I am a much happier person.

I am healthier!

I have confidence.

I have found that I enjoy working out.

I know I deserve to have nice things (before I didn't think I did).

I can wear my hubbys shirts and feel cute.

I don't mind my picture being taken.

Hubby can't keep his hands off me!

I like to shop for clothes.

Feel free to add to it!

What I love about my band:

I have more energy

I took up running (well, jogging) and love it

Don't mind exercising

Not out of breath as easily

Love to go shopping now, and care about what I am wearing

Feel good about myself

Happy 1/2 Baniversary Wendy & twinmommy!

Things I love about my band...

*The 77# I'm not lugging around with every step

*Shopping...in the entire store, not the plus sizes

*Tieing my shoes...and breathing at the same time

*Making ME a priority...taking the time for exercise and making healthy food instead of quick & easy junk

*My kids are eating better, exercising more and loosing weight too

*This is not temporary, I have a permanent back-up for when I "fall of the wagon"

*I know I'm still seriously overweight...but I feel NORMAL!

i was just telling my dad the other day that i am no longer morbidly obese! I was pretty excited about it. He still doesn't know about the surgery...he would croak if he knew how much money we spent:)

Everyone is doing so well...

I love shopping in all parts of the store.

I love not feeling hungry ALL the time.

I love not being out of breath all the time.

I love my new legs:) (I can actually wear boots that zip over my calves!)

I love feeling sexy.

I love all the compliments:)

I LOVE my band!!!

You know, I just realized I am coming upon my 6 month anniversery of having my band too.

Wow.....how I have changed. mentally, physically, and it just amazes me that i get upset with myself if I cant work in my exercise. (which I have been the last 2 weeks)

I love the fact that I have this new energy, that YES I can wear a pair of ZIP jeans, and Hoodies....(Havent done that in years)

I am finally in the 250's, and moving down.....I want to make it to wear I go into the new year and be healthy, energized, and ready to live the next 20 years as a healthy adult. YES, I turn 40 in Jan!!! So....Here is to all of us Amazing May Bandsters!!!!!

Keep up the good work everyone....

Happy Anniversery A-May-Zing bandsters!

*I love getting off my BP pills!

*I love not getting winded walking to the mailroom!

*I love that my skin is looking years younger!

*I love that I feel pretty again!

*I love that I can wear so many of my cloths!

*I love that I feel healthy again!
