It has been months since I have been on here.  Lots have happened.  My husbands grandmother passed away, my grandfather has been diagnosed with Lung cancer, My dad has had a crazy lady stalker and just every day life stress.   With all that has happened my weight has stayed the same.  I even had a small unfill and still haven't gained back.  I haven't lost anymore but I really need to start the gym thing and put the effort.  I am sure with a little effort I can kick start the weight loss again.  I am at 165.  My goal is 150 but I'm not really all that stuck on the number thing.  I would rather be a little firmer.  Even if it meant that I would not loose anymore.   Totally I am down 145 pounds and am loving it.   I can do sooooooo much more that ever before.  I went to the zoo for the first time in a long time and didn't have to stop every few sets to rest.   That was just so great to be able to keep up with my daughter and nephews.  Hope everyone else is doing good.

I am so shocked with my results.  I never thought that I would loose this much weight EVER.  Honestly I didn't even think that I would break about 60 or 70 pounds.  Now here I am and loving it.  I can do sooooo much more than I ever thought I would.  I have never regretted this decision.  It has saved my life.  I have slowed down the weight loss and am fine with that.  I am down 138 pounds total.  I feel like a different person.  It is neat to look back and see all the changes I have gone through not to mention the cloths that are now everywhere in my room. 

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  I am so excited to have some turkey, ham, greenbeens, oh everything.  I will only be able to have a bite of each, but man am I looking forward to it.  

As of today I am at 188.  I have not seen that number in YEARS!!!   I cant keep up with my clothes.  But I would rather have this issue then the health issues I had.

More and more people are starting to notice.  Some people at work think I am a new person.  LOL.  But with more and more noticing I am not sure If I really like the attention.  I am not sure what is considered rude and what is not. Do I just say thank you?  I don't know if by saying thanks I am being conceded.  I just don't know.

Things are going good.  I am now at 193.  things are slowing down but I am happy with that.  Honestly if this is where I end up I think I am looking good.  I need to step it up in the gym.  I know that would make me feel better.  Just wanted to check in.  Thanks everyone

Goodbye and so long!!!!!!

hello 199!!!!

  Can someone say oh my!!!   lol!  I cant believe that I weigh 200 pounds!!  only one more pound and I will be in onederland.  I cant believe it. My weight loss has slowed down a bit but I am ok with that. I have done good so far.  I just cant wait till I look at the scale and It says 199.  I have not see that since high school. 

OK this is my first bad experience with my tool.  I went and had a fill done yesterday because I felt that I could eat too much.  Well they did one and it was really small, only .2cc ( i think ).  So I went on my way to work and noticed that some of the water I drank in the office was not going down all that fast.  It went down but just not like it should.  I was a bad girl and did not do anything about it.  When I arrived to work I heated up some soup and started to sip on the broth ( chicken noodle ).  Thinks seem to be OK.  I took a few bites of the noodle and suck and then I could tell that it was not going down.  I ran to the bathroom to do my thing and it was all down hill from there.  I started slimming non-stop.  I finally call the nurse around 2 in the morning thinking that the feeling of an elephant sitting on my chest wast something that I should worry about.  The nurse, Rachel was wonderful she calmed be right down and told me the I am just tight and that I was not going to die.  Oh man that made me feel better.  I went to the doctor office this morning and they took half of what they put in and it felt like when you eat to much and then unbutton your pants. I could tell right away that there was an opening.  lol.  I am glad that I had this experience.  I now know what to tight feels like.  I would prefer not to do that again.

 .   Well this is the first  cold I have had since being banded. this sucks.  I feel really bad.  I wonder if it is more the flu than a cold.  oh well.  gained 2 pounds.  I am not sure why but I seem to eat more now that I am sick.  I went ahead and made an appointment to have an fill just incase it doesnt go back to the way it was before I was sick.  my total lost now is 103.  I was at 105 but this silly cold!!!

I remember thinking back about how cool it would be to have one of these card on my profile.!   LOOK AT ME NOW!!!

I cant believe it.  I did it.  I'm still in shock!!!  lol,  I went shopping for my birthday and when I went in the dressing rooms with size 18. ( I had on 20s so I thought 18 would do it)  The were too big.  I had to grab a 16.  They were a tad to big but 14 is a little to tight.  I cant believe that I tried on a 14 and they zipped up!!!!  I did end up getting the 16s but maybe next time i can get the 14 or even a 12!!!! 

I had a great bday.  I got to see some of my family that I haven't seen in a while and some didn't recognize me.  I thought that was sweet.  I don't think I look that different. 

Well I did it.  It was 6 months ago today that I was banded and I am now at 210 pounds.  I am oh so excited.  I am now down 100 pounds.  My birthday is tomorrow and when I think back to last year I would have never guess that so much would change in one year!   I feel so fantastic!!!  I started out in a size 24/ 26 and today I am sitting here in a size 16.  I haven't been in a size 16 since high school.  I am really just shocked that things have worked so well.  I am not doing anything extra just sticking to the rules.  I really think my body said OK I'm done with being unhealthy.  So it is working with me.  lol.  Thanks so much to everyone that has sent me messages about my goal.  I really do love this site and the people here are just great!!  I will be posting some new pics and a few from before to get a good look.  : )
