Marchies In December

[Jeni 85 0]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Jeni!

Good luck with nursing school--it's a good, and very flexible, career. If you are interested in being a CRNA, make sure you get some clinical time in an ICU and get a job in one after you graduate. Most programs require at least 1-2 years of ICU experience, though the median length of experience in my class seems to be about 5 years.

I'll let you know how school goes...thanks again!

Thank You for the Tip... I still got a long way to go..

So is everyone ready for the holidays??

Hi Everyone, Its been awhile since I posted. I was banded in March and well just hit the 50 lbs down mark only to find out my IUD didn't quite do its job and I am pregnant.. Anyone else from March have an unexpected pregnancy? :faint:

Thanks,

Brandi

Not pregnant, but congratulations!!!!

Congrats Cuddle!! There are times when I see a baby and wish with all my heart to have another one, then realize that I only have 6 years to go until my last is off to college and decide that I can wait for grandbabies.

Welcome Gkeyt. Looks like you are doing great.

OH Juli-Reading about that boy and with all the pain he must be in just about made me cry that he took the time to give you a pat on the back. He must be one hell of a kid.

Well, had company this weekend and my brain didn't pay too close attention to what was going into my mouth. But my band sure did. I had 2 pb's. One Saturday after taking a big drink to wash down a Trisket, and one Sunday from not chewing a bite of pork chop well enough. They were not that bad, just what I would call "last bite forced exit". I think it's the slimming that gets to me though. That is soooooo gross.

As of this morning, drum roll, 185!!!! 5 lbs in 15 days to hit my goal of 180 for Christmas. I can do it, I can do it!!

Have a great day everyone.

Mrs H-

You will do it!!!!!!!

Great Job with the weight loss!

[jmarruda 22]

OH Juli - look at YOUR weight loss. Spectacular. 102lbs......I am in awe!

[OH Juli 15]

Awe shucks. I started pretty high. Not that I'm not proud...I was happy as could be to see the 100+ in less than a year, but now I need to focus on the what's left to lose.

Actually there's been a shift in my thinking from counting pounds lost to really working on what's left to accomplish.

The band is a fantastic tool!

[jmarruda 22]

I just have to give you props girl, I started at the same weight and I'm only down 42lbs. You are my new hero!

[Jeni 85 0]

Ya im a little more than half way to goal!!!! Yay!!!!! :whoo: Now 68.7 more to go!!!!!

[jmarruda 22]

Congrats Jeni, that's sooo awesome! I'm so happy for you!!!!

[Mrs Husker 3]

Way to go Jeni!! Don't it feel good!!

Texas-57 lbs gone, you are doing great!

And I agree with Jmcambra, you are also my hero OH Juli. Not only in weight loss but you are such a supportive person and always have something uplifting to say (even when you are dishing out well deserved and asked for "tough love")

Hello Marchies

I just wanted to stop by and say I hope everyone is coping well with the holidays and staying warm!!! I am just so suprised at how fast the time has passed by since March. I am praying that I can continue to keep up my momentum during these cold months. I have been really intreuged with peoples reaction to my weight lost because everyone always says how good I look, but some times I just see the same person I have always seen. I know I need to do some work on my self preception. Anyhow, I love my band!!!

Happy Holidays

[Mrs Husker 3]

LaLa-Looks like you are doing great. 81 lbs gone forever.
