Dynamomini, Victoriana and Travelbug -- Congratulations, you made it!!! Great job ladies!! :whoo: Doing the happy dance for ya's!! :)
I am stuck at 204, have been for a few weeks - bleck! Oh well, I'm closer than I have been in oh, say, 25 years!! I'm considering another small fill, but I'm getting pretty close to being full so I'm not sure yet, will talk to my doc at my appointment next week. Am just plodding along, trying to join you guys in Onderland!
(Travelbug -- I made myself the same promise, if I can just get to 200 I'll get my butt in gear and start exercising every day if it kills me, lol!!)
Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to you ladies later and keep up the great work, you're all inspirations to us Onderland-wannabe's!! :clap2:

Hope everyone is doing good, I am stuck at 193, but I hope it will change soon, it is so strange how we can not lose weight but our body changes , pants getting bigger, bras getting bigger, but no pounds gone. I will take it, don't get me wrong,lol . But it is just strange, anyone else doing this too?

Sandra, don't get discouraged. You'll be there before you know it. I was banded by Dr. Spivak 11/28/06 and have only lost 39 lbs to date.
THat is wonderful that you've been banded for less than 2 months w/ 24lbs lost. Keep up the good work :)

Hey Guys! How is it going? Wow we have new folks and new members of Onederland! How exciting!
:welcomeB:Welcome Metalband and Sandra! We are happy to help cheer you on to Onederland! Keep up the great Work!:welcome:  A BIG congrats to Clynnc, you rock! :rockon:Way to go! :rockon:Ain't Onederland grand?!
Drews - Keep kicking but sister, you will be there soon! Bust out some rollerblading kick a**!!:wow2:
Jacqui - don't get discouraged because you are stuck.. it will pass. I was stuck at 192 for a couple of weeks, but now I'm at 189. Keep your chin up. If you plateau for 3 or 4 weeks, start changing stuff.. drink more water, exercise more, eat more or less calories (zig zag). You will start heading down the path to your goal soon!

Kim , Thanks for the vote of confidence, I needed it! I think my biggest problem is sweets, getting back into old habits. I am going to try to eat better . We have alot of vegetables from the garden and they are really good, but it is so much easier to grab a popsicle, I need to learn discipline. lotta stress around here lately , I just need to take time for myself. I found out the other day I didnt have cancer after a surgery and 5 biopsies, so needless to say I have been freaked out for awhile, now I can get back into life. Thanks for your help!

Wow Jaqui - I'm so happy that you now have peac of mind after the cancer scare. Big Hugs to you! It just isn't fair how sugary sweets and chocolate and chips go down so easily is it? Drink water, watch your calories and get moving. IT WILL HAPPEN!

Hi Ladies. Long time no talk. I have just been really discouraged with this whole band. It bums me out more than anything to watch everyone do so well. How come I am failing at this thing????
I have been at 215 for 6 months now. I get on the tredmill 3-4 times a week for 2 miles each time. I just can't stop eating the crap that goes thru this band so easily.
I don't know if I'm afraid of the old me. I was pretty damned frisky when I was 150 and single. Now I'm married and quite comfy. Although, the men still give me whistles and stares. Not too long ago, I had some young hottie sitting next to me at a red light. He signalled for me to roll down my window. I thought he was going to ask me for directions. I rolled it down and said "Yes". He said "You are gorgeous". I was dumbfounded..............I just laughed and said "Oh, OK, thanks". He then honked and wanted me to talk to him. I just sped off when my light turned green.
I'm always thinking to myself, "If they could only see the bottom half of me, with my huge ass and hips". hahahahahaha
Well, I'll try to keep checking in.
Jen
