mlgpdx Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Today is a HUGE milestone for me. I weighed myself this morning and I was 199.8. This is the first time in over 20 years that I have weighed under 200lbs. I cried. As a woman who has always been fat it was a litlte overwhelming/emotional to see that I weigh under 200lbs. The band DOES work! It takes time and work but it does work! Thanks to everyone for being with me through this journey. Here's to reaching my first goal of 190 b/4 2009!

ackovach Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah!!!! I am so happy for you!!! You look so pretty & happy in your pictures. I found a little trick this week. I do not know how long it will work, but for now I am happy with it. I just went to 199 last weekend. I normally fluctuate 2 or 3 pounds during the week....... but not this week........ Guess why....... 3 Metamucil capsules per day ... Plus I been taking benefiber for a while. But I always feel clogged up until this week. I was 199.2 this morning instead of going the other direction. I have been watching those the girls on the biggest loser lose 6 - 8 pounds a week. How the heck are they doing that???? Wouldn't it be wonderful to practically skip the 190's all together? I have not had any BIG weight loss weeks yet. I keep hoping for a 6 pound week. Maybe we can figure this out together..... Sorry to ramble on your post. I am just SO, SO happy for you. Take care. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisem Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Mindy! You have done so well and I'm so happy for you. It's such a "One"derful thing to be under 200 and I can't wait to reach that milestone as well. I have 17 pounds to go! You really have been rockin' your band over the last 3 months or so! Is it mainly due to restriction? Enjoy your day, and may you never see 200 again! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlgpdx Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Thanks to everyone! > > Denise- yes I believe my weight loss is due to my 3rd fill in august and finally having restriction. I thought I knew what restriction was but after that fill I really knew! Once I saw more progress I worked harder and portion control/food choices and exercise. I appreciate every single comment and when I read them I feel all warm and fuzzy. xoxoxox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
