I can finally see 200's in my future!!! It's been several years since I've been below 300 and it didn't last long on previous attempts, but I'm feeling pretty confident this time with my band it will be different! I hope I'm right!!!!

I've been doing good the last 2 weeks... doing exercise and following rules!!! Anyone else want to join me in the short term goal of getting rid of the "3" being the first digit in our weight?????????

VanWest-Congratulations on your new baby. Hope everything is going good now. I can't imagine the stress of dealing with an early delivery, no wonder you had to put your journey on the "back burner"!!!!

Now for the good news... As this baby grows and by the time your chasing them around on a play ground at a park... do you have any idea how much better you are going to feel???? How much energy you will have for your child???? Just think as you get restarted and recommit to getting on track, how much both of you are going to benefit!!!!!

Welcome back to taking control again!!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!

I'm at 299 this morning! That is too close to 300 to celebrate yet! When I'm 295 then I'll know it's real and it's going to stick! Boy, nothing gets you back to protein shakes and exercising like being that close to a personal goal though!

Congrats TX Diva! That is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Well...now only 10 more pounds to go!!!!!!

I will do it before the first official day of Fall (9/22/08)!!!!

Just 9 more lbs to break the 300 mark. I am soooooooo psyched!!!

Congrats! You can do it. I thought I would never get under 300 and now I am trying to get to 285. New Goal.

Wow Diva, congrats! Good job Russ!

I have 16 more pounds until I hit that mark... I'm so excited I can't wait! I haven't seen a 2 on my scale in YEARS!

Yippee! Well, it's official. I'm finally under 300! I weighed 295 on my scale this morning. I've been adding 3 lbs to that number b/c that seems consistent with my doctor's scale. I am so excited! That gives me a total of 55 pounds lost! Now, my next goal is to hit the 75 pounds lost mark. Just 20 pounds to go. Let's all do it together!

It's funny how for most of my life the scale has been something I avoided. Now, I can't wait to hop onto it Sunday morning so I can see my progress!

Congrats! I have finally hit 290 and trying to get the 280's before my next fill. I know you can lose another 20, you are doing so great.

Hello Tess,

I haven't been around for a while. I quit coming to the site with my own disappointment. But, I finally am past the 50 pounds mark. I have been going up and down the same four pounds for two months. I was getting frustrated. I finally went and got a fill last week and lost a total of seven pounds. I am down a total of 53 pounds since march.

I hope you are doing well. thanks for all the support. your awesome.
