:whoo:Hey to all Marchies just wanted to see how we are all doing in September... As that 6mths post -op creeps up, How do you feel about your progress so far??

Well, I decided to wait on my current school pics (yup, I'm a teacher) to reflect the before/after. I'm rather pleased. (except for the dopey tilt they do).

You SHOULD be pleased, Annette. Lookin' good! Congratulations on your success.

Annette - You look Awesome!

Thanks for posting those pics. You look great!

Hi I had my surgery on March 19, 2007. I love my band but wish I was losing faster. I have lost 30 lbs ( lowest I have been in 4 Years, so that is great!) I have had three fills so I am at 2.8 now. I can eat most anything, have had a few PB situations when I didn't chew well enough or tried to eat cold chicken or lamb from the refrigerator. I am eating about 1200 calories a day and working out at the gym 5 hours a week. I would love to have any suggestions for quicker weight loss.

happy Monday!!

MomL.I'm sorry for your loss I understand where you are right now, I lost my dad in April of 2004 and it's still hard but GOD is ABLE to COMFORT YOU!!!!

I will try and post pic of my progress!!!

Good Luck its almost time of OCTOBER "MARCHES" lol lol lol

My BMI is now 29! I am no longer considered "obese"!!! :peep:

YAY!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Im in a size 14 hip hip hooray!!! for me

Im melting, melting

That's awesome thickchick!!!

Congrats to both of you Thickchick and Tammyj.

I am still holding at about 189-192 since I was unfilled in August and am still in size 18 (can get into a 16, but still to tight to wear all day). I go in for a refill on October 1, can't wait to get the ball rolling again so I can catch up with everyone else

I've increased my protein by drinking Isopure in the am after my coffee and then having some cottage sheese for breakfast. It's so strange because I don't loose for weeks and then I dro plike 2 lbs and then I don't loose again.

I need to excersise more!!

Ok, I'm done beating myself up.

Thanks!!!

Nikki...i'm with you here. I busted my butt last week exercising and the last few days nothing. Haven't dropped a pound in almost 2 weeks. I really need to stick to an exercise routine and i'm sure i'd be more consistant in my weight loss.

*****So when I started this journey I was Morbidly obese according to the BMI chart (42)....right now I'm Obese.(31.8) ...I only have 6 more lbs to go and i'll offically be "overweight!" (29.9)

Yee haw!

Hoping to get in one last trip out on the boat before we shrink wrap it for the winter, supposed to be around 80 degrees here on Sunday.

Everyone have a great weekend, probably talk to everyone in October!

I want to say WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at my half way mark! Look at my perfectly balanced ticker!

90 pounds since the first of the year has been a challenge and I'm sure the second 90 is going to be even more of one, but I'm so happy and so proud right now I just have to share!

Hey my sista Juli! I am so proud of you!!!!!

Denise,

How are you????

It's rather quiet on this here board. I see you are right on my heels with your 86 pounds down.... Way To Go for you too!
