Many thanks to Alexandra.

I didn't even realize this section was here! Very cool!

I'm so close.....15 pounds. Do I count? ~Mandy

Glad to see this thread. I am nine pounds from goal and am empty from fills for the first time. Had problems with getting way to tight after having fill for several weeks and getting unfills so thought I would give it a rest for a little while. Have been maintaining for almost a month now but will watch it very closely. I know there are a lot more of us close to goal.

when this this section appear?? I have been at goal for about 6months. I still tend to have my fat days but overall I am very happy with my results.

I am 23 pounds from goal and it is going so slow now it may be next year before I get lol, well in my own defense I had to have surgery the other day and whenever I have any type of surgery it is like my body freaks out and I actually gained a few pounds but lost them again but it just got me back to where I was before. It got my hair to start coming out again, not as bad as before but it gives creedence to anesthesia being the cause because I am not lacking in protein.

I'm about 25 pounds to my first goal. It's been an amazing journey so far. I'm gonna finally have great xmas pictures this year!! weee

I had to have major surgery this week and my band doc decided to pop in an dtotally unfill my band. I am a bit freaked out, I wanted a partial unfill but instead I am empty. Yikes!! ~Mandy

Hey! SO cool to find this thread. I am about 30 pounds from goal.

Hello to all of you!

Wow Mandy that would suck, I didnt have to have an unfill but I will tell you that I was super tight after surgery due to swelling and still gained weight but lost it back. It has been a month or so and I am really still a little swelled, my surgery wasnt as extensive as yours but I went thru alot and went thru alot of biopsies and the swelling really does affect how tight I am. So as much as it may suck it may have been a blessing in disguise. Just food for thought.

I am near goal but right now I am trying to test my picture

So many of us at, or dammed close to goal! Congratulations to all!

I had to purchase some pajamas for my hospital stay. When I bought jammies for my band surgery I got XXL and they were snug. This time (2 years later) I was able to get med, and they fit, even after surgery with the swelling I have. WooHoo!! ~Mandy

Yay.

This is just what we need. I'm down inside my healthy weight range but would ideally love to lose 14lb more. My bum is still too big, lol.

Really?

Any time I have seen a photo of you, you look fantastic.

That's because they're from the shoulders up, roflmao!!

I really do mean to do before and afters. I have to scan in the befores, none on digital, and I have to get a new camera before I can do the afters - ours is full of Byron Bay sand from last September. We're going again in 6 weeks, I should do something about it. I think I've only ever put one photo of myself on here.
