Hey everyone! I know that October seems like forever away, but I was just seeing if there is anyone out there that wants some help and support through the long days leading up to the best thing that will every happen to us!? Can't wait to hear some support and excitement.

Thanks, MollyJo, for the encouragement. Everytime I try to rest for a few seconds the trainer won't let me, it is pretty comical. I, too, am a slacker,LOL!!! She gives homework assignments too!!!!

Cholesterol was 220 on my last blood test. I know all the meats, eggs and cheese we eat is probably not cholesterol friendly. I need to commit to exercise, that would help.

Hey gals and guys, at first exercise seems so evil and believe me I never understood ow people said, exercise gives you energy. I would leave the gym and say "where the heck is the energy everyone talks about"?

A month after beginning my exercise, I arrived home after a 90 minute cardio session and my mom says, "woman shut up". I was talking a mile a minute, this is when I realized wow I have energy NOW. I havent lost my mojo since November 2008.

I think I will reach my goal of an 125 pound weight loss by my bandiversary. I am scared nervous and excited because the test will come years later when I hope to continue my new lifestyle.

I know you are right about the energy. Been there in the past but can not seem to get started. I always find an excuse to put it off for another day.

I am so proud of you for losing so much and staying on track! You are a fab example for everyone. I think your new life is well established now and you have the mojo to continue forever.

Congrats!!!!

THANKS EVERYONE for the kind advise on the hair. I will try the B complex. I do need to be better on making sure I get my 60-70 grams of protein.

You all are doing so well. I too am LOVIN' the down sizing. I've slowed down, but still fill great! I can't wait to be in a 10. I'm in a tight 14. So, I'm working on it.

Skinnydippn42 - Thats great you go to a dietian. They can help keep you on track. I have a hard time with the head hunger vs stomach hunger.

NRPNRP - You go Lady!!! You are knockin on the door to your goal. That's great.

That KARENK for the advise.:sad:

Yahoo!!!! I have reached my goal this morning. Now maintenance is the goal!

Yahoo!!!! I have reached my goal this morning. Now maintenance is the goal!

That is awesome! Way to go. You can do maintenance! Can't wait to be there.

That is awesome! Way to go. You can do maintenance! Can't wait to be there.

Thanks for the kind words. You have done a terrific job. You will get there soon enough.

Maintenance has always been a tough one for me. This is a whole new ball game though so I am confident.

CONGRATS on meeting your goal! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!

About hair, when you lose weight, it changes your body hormones and can cause that temporarily (like after pregnancy). I did hear biotin helps. I cut my hair short and have no problems!

I went to see my band doc yesterday and he thinks I'm doing great. I've had two fills. I lost 10 lbs in the past 6 weeks and he expects a less than a pound a week loss at this point. I'm happy losing no matter how quick!! I don't go back for 12 weeks now...

I am LOVING walking/running in organized runs. Money always goes to a good cause and it is a great incentive to MOVE. The last one raised money for nature conservation and was on a road running through a state park (woods). Try it if you haven't! The longest one I did was a 10 miler the morning after my first grandson was born and I had been on my feet all day!! It was worth it though :smile:.

Hugs,

Anne

NRPNRP - U R AWESOME!!!

Army Mom - That's great on the run. i love it myself. Thanks for the tips on the hair. Can you tell me what you eat on an average day? I was banded 1 day before you and have only lost 36 lbs since. Little frustrated, but no regrets.

NRPNRP - Great job!!!

Army Mom - Thanks for a kind words on the hair. I love running.

What do you eat in an average day? I was banded 4/21 and have lost 36 lbs. I'm doing something wrong. Happy, but wish I was a little further.

Hey all -

I hit one-derland today. Stepped on the clinic scale and it read 199!

I know I have more to go (more than my ticker claims, but I wanted to set a reasonable goal), but I feel really good! And happy!

Hope everyone is doing well.

YAY, KarenK, congratulations!!!!

Mimi
