Great Idea - I will do it right now !!

Hi

I am Janet and I am a recovering food addict :wink2:

I was banded 7/17/07 - My starting weight was 250 - I'm 5'4

Today (just over 10 months out) I am 154 - size 8 pants (was 18/20) Medium tops (was 22/24)

I got banded as I wanted to extend the years that I have left on this planet and to do that I knew that I needed to lose weight.

The band has been the tool I needed. For the first time in my life I have been able to achieve this goal (actually getting to my goal weight)

If you want a buddy - support - help - suggestions - Please feel free to call upon me - I will gladly share my journey with you - the journey is still on going and by helping you I will be helping me (staying motivated and accountable) and then one day you can pay it forward and help someone else.

I am making a crustless pumpkin pie that is sugar free. No guilt for me over having a treat.

The only guilt you should have right now is what you made us do to this thread. You pushed us to do this, LauraK. Now look what you've done!

apples since you and i cheated - laurak didn't - she won -that what we get for being so competitive

:lol:Well Girls,

I tell you I just am sitting here cracking up:lol:!

Congradulations! 1000 pages:thumbup:!

Just shows ya where there is a will there could be a lot of junk! LOL

I hope in another 1000 I know you all as well as you know each other!

Way to make my morning!

Back to the real stuff, i am going to try to walk twice again today. I walked a total of 70 minutes yesterday, and I got a diploma from about.com for having completed my 10 week walking program! I feel kinda proud....also nsv I started out in xxl sweats and now am in xl stretch pants, the next pair will be large, and that will be pretty soon, because the ones I wear are loosening up after two wears! YEAH:thumbup:!

It is looking a little overcast here so we might just get that rain forecasted for the weekend.

That is all for now...

some pics of my walk yesterday:

Kelly, wtg those sweats will be falling off you.

I love the pics that is such a pretty place to walk. I'd be out there all the time.

I was trying to get Apples to win.

Well I made it :thumbup:

Went in yesterday at 7:15am and was home by 3:30pm!

All is going well, the gas pain yesterday was the worst, but gasX is a good friend. Feeling pretty good today, drinking lots of Water, not hungry at all but sipped down an EAS shake.

So far so good! Glad to be on the other side of the fence

Csolo...welcome. I will let Janet respond to you (Indiogirl). Just wanted to tell you to jump in with any questions you might have.

As far as you friends are concerned. You wont be doing this procedure for them. If they want to support you in your decision and be there for you, that would be wonderful. If not, just go about doing what you feel is best for YOU.

Wishing you the best!

Dear Apples: Thanks for your reply. I am doing this for me, me, me! I too need to lose 130 pounds to be at my ideal goal weight and I will do it. It's so encouraging to see all these success stories. Were you banded or did you have the gastric bypass? I am being banded on Monday and am very excited ... and somewhat nervous. Keep in touch!

apples since you and i cheated - laurak didn't - she won -that what we get for being so competitive

Yep...we're naughty girls. And to think, LauraK was trying to get me to win. Awwww...what a non-naughty girl!

Just junking towards page 2000.

Kelly...great pics. What beautiful country you live in. Love mountains. We live in the plains. Can see for miles and miles and miles.

Way to go on the smaller sizes. You are doing great!
