I did not realize that tomorrow is my 6 month bandiversary. Wednesday is weigh day for me (still a day I dread a bit - my relationship with the scale is still not too great) and this morning I hit two goals in one day.

I am now in ONEDERLAND and past the halfway mark! I think I would have shed a tear if I had not overslept by 45 minutes.

I am not sure which one I am most happy about.

Plus - we are actually getting rain in North Carolina (some places way too much, but not here)!!!!!

Congrats! That's so fantastic. Bet you are just beaming. Makes you realize it really is gonna work this time doesn't it?

Thanks for the kind words. I think I finally feel like it is going to work and not just another temporary fix.

WOW!! 2 goals on one day - you must be floating!!

Keep it up...the good work I mean, not the weight! :smile2:

That is fabulous!! Congratulations and keep up the great work!!

Thats great I would love to be under 200 by christmas I have 15#'s to go. Maybe I'll reach that goal I was banded 8-11-08 I love the band so far. Also one question how do yall make yalls posts so unique with all the little cartoon animation? How much weight loss do you normally loose in a month or is it just based on the individual and their fill?

Barbara;

I have no doubt that you will reach that Christmas goal.

I do not know how to make the cartoons in your signature line. I can only add the smiley guys. Tickers are not as hard as they look. There are several great threads on the board on how to accomplish this.

I think everyone loses differently. I was losing about 2 pounds a week, but the last two I have lost 3. I have been concentrating extra hard on enough protein. I was not eating any snacks, but have added a snack of high protein - usually pudding made with sugar-free, fat free jello and Unjury protein powder.
