Hi everyone -

I just had my 9 month visit today, and I'm officially down 50 pounds in the last year (10 were before banding). I am completely excited.

With that 50 pounds, I have a new NSV - bought a dress at banana Republic...yes...me?!?!?! I couldn't believe it. It's a purple XL knit dress with a fold-over neck and I look terrific in it. I don't think I've ever been able to wear a dress from that shop before!!! But just buying it keeps me motivated!

I'm going to wear it to a Christmas concert in the cathedral on Dec. 11th.

That brings me to this thread.

Today I weighted 203 lbs. Down 50 and halfway to my final goal of 153.

My goal for Christmas is to weigh less than 200 lbs.

Does anyone else have Christmas goals that they are shooting for?

Crystal,

That sounds like a very reasonable approach. Good luck!

Thank "god" for another fill. I had 0.7ml put into mine on Tuesday and thankfully I have a good restriction. Let's just say I am not making much progress with my stir fry beef and vegi salad I just bought.

I had been able to eat anything I wanted for quite a long time (months) but had only put on .5kg which is good considering I have eaten myself stupid on jelly lollies. I know naughty me.

I would like to lose another 2 kilos before the end of January. Considering I have been on plateau for many months that may not be achieveable. But I am thinking positively and with this last fill am going to do it!

Good luck everyone.

Pah..2kgs before the end of Jan..

I did that over the weekend! (see "horrible experience" post).

Unfortunately the loss was due to being blocked, but I still lost. Hope I can capitalise now that my restriction is near perfect.

OUCH Peek! Hope you are doing ok.

My original post was I hoped to maintain (as I anticipated losing was not going to happen). WEll, now I am in the 'hope not to gain TOO much' camp...bah! :smile2:
