Just checking... haha!

To start off this lovely Friday (well, not so lovely because I have to work), I will tell you of my latest NSV -- my old scrubs fit again! And they are loose!

I also had a stress test (more on that later) on Wednesday, and I did pretty good! Better than I did a few years ago.

Hope everyone has a good start to their weekend!

I just PM'd u Audree.

Good-bye to the 170's, yes, good-bye forever to the 170's. I loved you once, but after MONTHS of staying with you, it was time to move on! I have now moved over to be with the 160's!!!!! I weighed this morning 167.8, I'm so exited.

Just had to share my exciting news with everone. It has been 15 years since I was in the 160's.

I just realized too, that I have officially lost 80 LBS!!!!

congratulations Tonya. I hope to be joining you in the 160s soon. Losing 80 pounds is a major accomplishment!

Tonya,

That is just terrific. I'm so happy for you. And I know how hard you have worked for it.

Audree,

Way to go. Only a few more and you're at goal. What an accomplishment.

Thanks!!!!

I am feeling really good!!

Whats the weight loss patch?

I can't pm for some reason. I want to try the pills you guys are trying but I am really sensitive to some of the pills on the market. Is there anyway to try them before I buy them Audree?

I has a pig out last night. It really wasn't a pig out compared to my pre-band life, but I ended up having ham, mashed potatoes & corn, and even a dinner roll. I also enjoyed dessert, Peanut butter choco chip cake. But only a sliver of a piece. I was so full, I was miserable. Don't want to do that again. My ham was only about 3 oz, and potatoes was 1/2 cup, but the dinner roll probably did me in.

I was nervous stepping on the scales this morning, expecting to see a pound or 2 gain. I expected to see the scales say 170 something again, BUT IT DIDN'T, still 168.1, just up .3 ounces. I can't complain.

My husband is calling me ribsy these days cause my ribs are sticking out. My colar bone is so defined now. I even see bones in my feet. My watch doesn't fit around my rist. I've had to have my wedding ring sized down from an 8 to a 6, shoes that were too tight now fit me.

I am scheduled for a fill 11/21, but I probably will end up cancelling it. I feel good restriction, not too tight and not too lose, I think I'm really at my sweet spot.

My weight went up on pound. I think that must be the new pattern...but I also don't monitor what I eat on a constant basis. But it seems like I don't eat much. Dinner was pretty salty last night tho...DH cooked.

I am quite envious of those of you who are so near your goals. I still have about 45 pounds to go but I guess I am on the two year plan. And that is okay. We are all different. Your success just helps me know it is possible.

Renee, what a wonderful job you have done in your weightloss.

Thanks Sula. I have about the same amount of weight left to go and I can't get the scale moving but I haven't been in the gym for a few months. I keep saying I need to go but I don't make it there.

I have a son in college that plays basketball and a 12 year old that plays on a Select team and his school team. The season is starting so I keep thinking I won't have time. But thats a crappy excuse and I need to fit it in when I can. I feel so much better when I am in the gym.

I had someone tell me I look shorter now that I have lost weight! Anyone else hear that?

Its so nice that the posting is picking up. It was quiet here for so long.

The bones are weird aren't they Tonya? I still go to itch my back or shoulder and its weird to feel an actual bone instead of what it used to feel like.

Awesome!!!

Just checking in with everyone. How is everyone going to handle the holidays? This will be the first Holiday season for the January Bandsters.

For me, Holidays are not a big deal, I don't celebrate them. But there is always a lot of food around the office, so I will be careful not to graze.

I will buy a turkey, mainly because its the best time to buy one, they always go on sell. But, turkey is good for us, so I don't think that will be my downfall.

I guess I will have to make sure I have healthy snacks at work, and try not to pass by all the junk food lined up in our kitchen. Some of these women work all week preparing all kinds of fattening goodies. oh my, are they good. Lots of chocolate that melts in your mouth, and right thru the band. lol.

Well, I hope everyone has a great day.

Whats the weight loss patch?

I would like to hear more about the weight-loss patch too . . .

Thanks,
