I've decided to follow Paulax's example and create a countdown thread to force a little accountability onto me. I'm about 25 lbs from where I want to be (160-165), and been basically stalled since October.

So, time to push...

Angel, how did your surgery go? Hope you're alright. Why not start your own thread? Manatee, keep it up!

Karey-wasn't sure what forum to start a thread on. The PS one, Life near/or at goal or? I was also waiting on some pictures from my Doctor's office. The surgery went well, thanks for asking. I've been posting on the Dec exercise thread that I started, as far as my PS journey goes. Don't know if I'm brave enough to post pics of that but would love to post before/after pics in that forum. I just got the pictures from my Doctor's office in the mail today and haven't figured out how to post them yet as I need to scan them as they aren't on a media card. I'm hoping to figure it out but I'm also trying to do what the Doctor ordered and rest from this surgery.

Alynne: I'll check out the December thread. I think that you should post on the plastic surgery forum for sure. You can start without pictures until you feel better and just tell your story, every one will be supportive and you'll help others who are looking forward to PS. I'll be watching for your thread. Good luck with your recovery!

Congratulations everyone who is so close to goal. I am 10 lbs from goal. I thought I would never see this weight again. Now I know it really is possible with the band!

I love bandland!

Congratulations, Denise!

Thank You! I have a feeling it's going to take awhile to get this last ten lbs off. I usually go on plateaus that last months, then drop a few.

I really don't even care. I really like exercising, and whenever it decides to drop again, I will be ready and waiting. I am excited that my gym is starting some new classes. It's always good to change things around.

Haven't updated this thread is a while, but the new fill is kicking (my) rear.

Awesome Manatee!

Who Hoo!

Way to go Manatee!

I am still stuck and the scale isn't moving. I am going to be with my dad for two weeks. That's going to be hard since he likes to eat out so much.

I am going to find a gym as soon as I get there though.

Congratulations to everyone.

Manatee - your pics are awesome!!! Such an amazing transformation - you should be proud of what you've accomplished :frown:

Don't feel bad. I thought he was female for the longest time. He posts on the singles thread and showed a picture of himself. I was so surprised. All that time I thought it was a female posting. I think that was before he had something written under his posting name.

Way to go Manatee! I'm jealous.
