Ok so It has been a year and a month for the longest time the scale did not move I was exersicing, cheating, and eating at night. wondering why? ha how dumb can one be? Well I got broncitis and lost my appitite how wonderful that was so it has been about 2 weeks and I am down 9 pounds. I am so excieted to have the scales go down some more it really motivates me again. I have not exersiced in about 1 month and my flab is started to come back I had some nice muscle tone going on. I need to get the mentallity of the if I exersice I can eat out of my head. 
I have lost what my girlfriend weighed when she got married so I have lost a Dinel. wow My 2 kids weigh 40 +69 lbs That is what I lost. yea

So I said to my husband it is Thursday Sept 20 th tomorrow  and it was Thurs Sept 20th one year ago also The day of my surgury and the 1st day of my sons school same as this year. Last Friday was weigh in day and we where at  my SIL wedding but on the scale I got on at my MIL it said I was down 100 lbs yea I am taking it. I have been involved in this wedding lately and really havn't given it my all but I have been very good at the exersice thing at least 4 days a week. I don't need a fill cause I really can't eat that much I have just been chosing the wrong foods to loose like I should be. It will come. I have been very fortunate to not have had any major or minor problems. All is well here in happy  bandville. I will update again. 
tata for now

I guess I forgot to post the next day but here it is today I an down to 97 pounds wow it is so close to the 100 mark. I have a good fill now and feel great. I somtimes worry that I can't eat enough then all of a sudden I can I am watching my intke cause I don't want to stretch the pouch. This has been pretty uneventful. I had my 20 year class reunion and even with losing 90 + lbs everyone said I look exactly the same as I did in high school. Hu if only they knew and saw me 1 year ago. at my heaviest. 
I have been doing Tybo and my hip has not bothered me in a few weeks keep on loosing.

I forgot to post in July, but here I am. I got a fill on July23rd, after sitting with a 1 pound loss for a month. I am doing weigh in days on Friday so tomorrow if all goes as planned I will be down another 2 or 3 lbs. I'll update tommorrow. 
I am still very happy with the results. I got a little down in the dumps last month but I just think hormones are messing with me. I would like to loose at least 10 more lbs by Sept  15th for My SIL's wedding. I have to go strapless agggg. I have been working the arms and by then they should be alright but who cares anyway. I will come back tomorrow and post again. Hm if I figure right I guess I made a goal for myself with out even thinking . oh I hope I don't fail. so that means I want 100 pounds by one year. there I said it. lets see if I can do it.

9 months 90 lbs.

90 lbs gone yea I am over the half way mark and at a normal bmi I don't think I would qualify for WLS anymore. I am doing good trying to follow the rules but wow my food addiction is still here. I really didn't think it would go away but because of the band I really can't stray far cause of the Pb issue if I try to eat too many chips or bread I physically can't so that is good. 
I have not been exersiing for the last 2 weeks walking a few days a week but not my Tybo cause of my hip it has really been a pain. I still love my band and when I hear of others who are not doing very good with it I just feel so guilty for having it work good for me. 10 more pounds and I will be at 100 I have not set any goals for fear of failure so when I get there I get there.

My Story

Hi I'm a daycare provider, apt manager, and a full time mom. For the most part I love all my positions. (It is just hard carrying around all this extra weight.) I like to scrapbook and 4-wheel, swim, listen to good music in the sun, and hang out with my family. I have always been overweight but just in the last 2 years it really has cause me to stop doing the things I love because I just can't anymore. I've quit smoking 2 times the first time for 1.6 years then ya thinking I could have just one started again then I have now quit for almost 4 years and know that I can never have another one needless to say I never lost the weight I gained after quiting the 1st time. I lost 80 lbs. in 94 and was addicted to exersice then I ended up having back surgery and gained all the weight back plus about 60 more.

 Lap Band surgery set for September 20. 22 lbs down on the 2 week liquid diet yuk

 Had the band and what a jouney I thought the first few days were alright then I woke up in the middle of the night and could not sleep just plain uncomfortable now day 7 I feel like a new woman. yea I keep telling myself it will get better.
