Ok so now that I have patted myself on the back for losing 80lbs.  As I stated before I had fallen off but I ahve gotten much better.  It is time to pump it up and maximize the weight loss.  I am halfway there to comitting, lol.  I have been walking everyday.  I will walk at work Monday-Friday for an hour.  Not all at once though.  I will walk for my 15 minute break in the morning, 30 minutes at lunch, and my 15 min break in the late afternoon.  I will go to the gym 5 days a week doing 30 minutes of cardio and on 3 of those days doing resistance for 30 minutes.  I will stop participating in all the eatin activities that occur at my job (for ex. the cake that was brought today)  I will make sure that I get ATLEAST 60 grams of protein or more.  I will stick to my 3 small meals a day and 1 snack (which will be fruit).  I will resist the temptation of going out to lunch with co-workers even though I looooooove getting out of the office!  If I am forced to eat out for whatever reason I will make the helathy decision that is available.  I am motivated more than ever and I tahnk GOD for this sudden burst of positive energy and motivation.  I also thank you all who have supported me throughout this 6 months.

Hey people!  I have new pics up!!! Besides that I finally got my 3rd fill.  I now have 6.5 cc's in my 100 cc band.  I am eating cream of chicken soup right and I am not happy bout it.  It taste good but right now I want a monte cristo sandwich, lol.  But it is ok because after seeing my now pics next to my past pics I am ecstatic and more motivated than ever to keep workin this tool.  I cant wait to say I have lost 100 lbs.  I have 20 more to go, and if I can act right then that will be gone by July! Pray for me ya'll, I'm tryin to make it!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well I have yet to have gotten a fill.  I do have it scheduled for Monday because I am off from work.  Fortunately I have started losing weight again and I ahve offically met my April goal of 275, so I am on target!  Even without the fill and being able to eat alrge amounts of food, I have been pretty strict about my portion sizes and concetrating on healtheir food choices.  I have also been doing a lot of walking.  But anyway I am 77lbs down and I will be at 6 months on next saturday.  Its a pretty damn good weight loss for 6 months BUT it could have beena lot more if I hadn't gone astray so many times, lol.  But oh well it happens to the best of us.  But thank the lord i am back on track!!!!!!!  
Other than that Im trying to understand why my bf is trying to convince me to have a baby like right now.  Crazy right, I know.  For 1. I have a long way to go on my weight loss journey and pregnancy would devastate my weight loss as well as be unsafe for the baby within 1 yr of my surgery for 2. I am not only paying back for the loan I took out for the surgery but also on student loans and he is currently a student (Not a smart financial decision), For 3. We are not married and I am trying to do thinngs inmy life that I consider to be in the right order (School, job, financial security, weight loss, marriage, then child) for 4. I am not mentally ready to have a child, i am 23 (soon to be 24) and I enjoy being free and being able to get up and go where ever whenever  . Honestly though my main concern is the weight issues.   I am doing so well and I def want to continue my progress and see how far i can go with this.  It is def worth a shot after spending 12,900 out of pocket right?
