11 months already? Where did it go??

I am now down 75 pounds and only 35 to go! I was hoping to hit 100 gone by my bandiversary but with the complications I had with my leak I will gladly take 75! That means I only have 35 more to go till my "goal" of 170. Wooohoo!

Happy (late) Easter my friends!

:wow2: :wow2: :wow2: Myra! Your gardens are gorgeous! I bet you've been one busy lady! You obviously have a green thumb. Mine is a very definite brown thumb, I can and have killed cacti.:faint: You doggies are adorable too and so is the cat. How much time do you spend in your flower beds? I'd have to pitch a tent out there! It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Drews - I'll bet you've been busy. How is the knee? Is it causing you a lot of pain? When is the ball?

Having knee surgery in 2 weeks, May 10. Knee hurts like hell! Ball is May 6th... I post pics for sure!

Drews - Sorry you are in so much pain! I am sooo looking forward to pics from the Ball. Take it easy sister!

How's everyone doing this month? My bandiversary is 5 days away - that is hard to believe!

If there is a new May Chat thread no one will probably even see this but I didn't see one when I looked.

It's been a while since I've posted.

I was band one year ago on May 1st. What a year it has been!!!

I am now down 117 pounds and I feel great. I still have between 30-40 more to go but I am soooo happy with what I have accomplished thus far. I am also so proud of all of the other May 2006 Bandsters. We have really worked hard and struggled through a lot together!

Linda you have done such a great job! You are truly an inspiration. My bandiversary is tomorrow!

Linda, you have done such an awesome job. I am so proud of this May 2006 group.

Thanks guys!

Wow LInda - you have done an awesome job! How did you do it? I too was banded in May of 06 and have only lost 49 pds. I have been stuck in the -40s since Oct of 06. I have gotten fills and am up to 8cc's in my 10cc band. I have an appt on the 15th for another fill. I am a bit disappointed, I had hoped to be in onederland by now. Any advice?

Exercise and eating enough calories has been the key for me. Too little of either has me feeling lousy and not losing weight.

Hand in there Wiggy. 49 pounds is still a lot and I'm sure it has made a huge difference in your life. Just keep up what you are doing and you will be in Onderland before you know it. It seems to be a difficult barrier to break for many of us.
