Starting the new Year off right!

Dec 30, 2010

Well I am really disappointed in myself. I have managed to put on a few pounds that I am not happy about. I have also managed to give up my bad habit of smoking so its like I have traded one old sticking habit for another one which is grazing and eating more than I should..
I am making myself a promise to get this weight off. I went and got a fill this morning. First fill I have had in a long time..I am really excited about starting my new year off right...I can do this!!

Long time...

Mar 18, 2010

Well its been a really long time since I have posted anything to my page. I pretty much lost all the weight I wanted
to lose and had some fluid removed from my band in October of 2009. I then weighed around 173..I have put on a few pounds since then. I bounch back and forth from 175-180 but its not bad. I still am wearing the same size clothes and I fill great.
I love my band, it has really changed my life. I started racing dirt track last year and I am still doing that. I love it. My husband built me a brand new car for this year and I am so excited about the new racing season that starts in April..Wish me luck on
getting some checkered flags this year.
Everything is great. I am thinking about getting a tiny little fill just so I can get back to that 170 mark but all in all I am super happy with my band, and with my life. This has been a wonderful adventure!

September 2009

Sep 11, 2009

Well its been a wonderful experience with my band. I have now lost a total of 128 pounds. I have went from 298 pbs to 170 and have never felt better in my life..It is so strange to walk into a store to buy clothes and not have to go to the plus sizes. I am wearing 8's and 10's. My BMI chart still says that I am overweight but I beleive that I have made it to my goal. I am so happy where I am.
Now its time to start looking into getting rid of some of this extra skin..
Love this band!

Just checking in!

Aug 17, 2009

 Well I havent been in and updated my page in a while, just thought I should  get on here and brag a little about how much I love my band. I have not had a fill since June. I am sceduled for one in a couple of days but still dont think I need it. I am just going to go weigh in and keep doing what I am doing.
The weight is coming off really slow now but its still coming off so I am happy with that. I wouldnt be disappointed if I never lost another pound. I am happy where I am.
I have now lost 119 pounds with my band and I am so happy! I have went from wearing 22-24's to wearing 10's....Life is grand.
If you are ready this and wondering if you should get a band. Remember, it is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I love my band!

Another Fill

Jun 09, 2009

Well I went and got another small fill yesterday. I have been bouncing back and forth losing the same 3 pounds over and over. Maybe now I will start dropping weight again. I am happy where I am. Mostly wearing 10's & 12's so I cant complain about where I am. This is the best thing that has happened for me. I am greatful that I had this oppurtunity.
Well he only added .6 ccs this time so I think that brings me to 7.1ccs.

April 20 Fill

Apr 20, 2009

Well I went for another small fill yesterday. I had lost 9.8 pds since my last fill so I was happy with that. I am almost to wonderland and it is so amazing to me this close. I cant remember the last time I was under 200 pds but its right around the corner.
I have went from size 22-24's and am now wearing 14's in pants and XL shirts. It is wonderful.
I only have about 42 more lbs to reach my personal goal and that will put me at 160 lbs.
This is the best thing I have ever done for myself, I love it!
He only added .3 cc's this time, giving me a total of 6.5

 I went and got a fill yesterday. I think it was the 8th one that Ive had. I had lost another 9.4 lbs and he said that I was doing great. He gave me a small fill of 0.4 cc's which brings me to 6.2 total.
I am on my liquids now and I am not hungry. Pretty much making my self eat at this point.
I love my band, I am so thankful that I had the oppurtunity to get this thing. It is the best.
I am wearing a size 14 in pants and XL shirts. I have went from a 22/24 so I am happy about that. Everyone is coming up to me talking about how differnt I look. It feels great!

My Horoscope from 2 days before Surgery!! I still have it!!

Mar 06, 2009

Today I was cleaning out my desk at work when I ran accross something that really almost made me cry. I usually dont think anything about Horoscopes. I read them but dont pay much attention to them. This one is kinda special to me so I hung onto it.
When I went to the hospital to do my pre-admission I found this in a magazine in the lobby and I tore it out. Keep in mind that my surgery was on May 5th...

Taurus (April 21-May 20)
You feel so at home in your skin these days that you'll have your head in the clouds. On the 5th, the New Moon gives you a glimpse into the future and shows you how your dreams can come true. You might face more discouragement than support, but if your stick to your course, you will overcome obstacles and live happily ever after.

I am 10 months out and everytime I see this it makes me think just how true it is!

Feb. 2009

Feb 11, 2009

Well its February and I had my fill today. I didnt get a fill last month because I didnt think that I needed one and didnt want to take the chance of being to tight. I only lost 4 pds this time but I am happy with that. Its better than gaining weight so thats great to me.
This has been a very stressful time for me. I hear that stress affects the band so I guess I should be having a time.
I will update when I see how this fill is going to work. I'm hoping that it will be a good one.
