Hello all...Sorry that I have been away for almost a month! (ugh!) I did take a business trip to Vegas and got to meet the FAMOUS DELARLA in the flesh! She's even prettier in person and a truly nice person.

I've also been on vacation to Florida and did the beach thing. And we all know that tan fat looks better than white fat.

Although I've been pretty busy I think the main reason for my absense has been my lack of progress. I just had my 2nd fill and I've only lost 4 lbs. since my first two fills. All of my real weightloss came with my liquid and mushy phases. I am eating healthier and I do exercise more (but not as much as I should)...I just really expected faster results with this MAJOR lifestyle change.

All in all, I can't complain though. I've dropped a dress size and I can see a glimmer of hope at the end of this VERY long tunnel. I suppose I thought that restriction would be greater than it is after two fills. The good news is that I still have never even come close to a PB.

Glad to be back...

Happy to see you back,

Glad to hear you had a nice time on vacation.

NSV for you that you did not gain while being on vacation

Thanks Michelle....I did have a NSV when I went to Vegas....The airplane ride....need I say more? I sat across from someone that had to get a belt extension and it made me grateful for my 20lbs lost. That 20 gone let me squeeze my wide butt into a seat!

We weigh about the same and seem to have the same issues right now. I have lost 10 pounds since surgery and have had one fill and have another scheduled. The last few days I have really tried getting alot more water in and I think I have lost some more weight. I only weigh once a week, but I feel alot better. I have also been using fit day and I usually eat about 1200 calories. So something has to work soon. Good luck with your struggles.

What about inches? And are you doing things that were difficult before? Every victory counts.

I know I've gained 18 pounds in the last year and could continue to spiral upward without surgery. I could either continue and gain another 18 pounds next year or have surgery and begin the downward spiral. If I lose 18 pounds in the next year, Iwill be 36 pounds less that I would have potentially been.

I am at about the same weight as you guys. If we lose slowly, we won't have the excess skin issues or as many wrinkles.

Hang in there and it will pay off.

Hey girl! I think I remember seeing your birthday somewhere in these past few weeks. Happy belated birthday!

Welcome back!

yay congrats on your NSV!!! I love Vegas, we are going 13 days!! I can't wait- I'm down 14lbs so I'm hoping to be down at least another 6 by then to make it 20 even!!

Welcome back! Glad you had such a great time!

Welcome back, and congrats on the NSV!

Now, dish the dirt!

Ya

details please!! I've been with Lisa, that's a party in it's self!

Welcome Home!

Welcome Back, so what part of Florida did you visit? Were you near me, cause if you were, I wish we could have met. Pouting!!! Well, just glad that your back, I have been at my same weight for about a month and I'm hating it, but i hate to go get another fill, when I am just now able to eat a bit more normally. I had been too restricted and wasn't getting enough food in, so maybe now that I'm eating healthier, I will see some results, but I am bad in that I don't drink my water like I should and I am not excersising... WHat's wrong with me, why can't I do what I need to do to get to my goal??
