Well, December is here!! The holidays are almost over and our one year anniversary will be here before we know it. Hope that all the Marchies will check in this month and give us an update.

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!

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

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!

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!

Happy Tuesday going to weigh today wish me luck.....

Good luck thick, I get to go tomorrow! I'm hoping I've lost!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

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

Triple "awe shucks", Mrs. H!

I'll tell you what...there are days like today where I'm uplifted by the people on this board. My body aches and I'm not making the best food choices....

But coming here gets me some perspective. This is such a shared journey. Thank you so much for your kind words.
