Thats what I'v been trying to get across to these people, but they don't want to hear it, they just want to knock it down. There are so many things things in our life like computers or zip drives or microwaves, etc etc. That were created to make our lives easier, we appreciate someone creating these things so we can get…

You look awesome :) Way to go and keep up all your hard work on this life long journey :)

^^ You are so right about this! I also have the lap band and have lost 100 lbs and have kept it close to that for 5 years now. This surgery was the best thing I ever did. I will tell you this since having to eat less for 5 years, I now truely know what portion control is. Had I not had this surgery I would prolly still be…

I also agree with you on this, I have had friends too who had the lap band and failed miserably, because they wanted the surgery to do the work, and they didn't accept the fact that they too would have to do most of the work. I have had the lap band for 5 years now and I have lost 100 lbs with it, but it took me watching…

Oh you have a choice of how you control your portions, we all do. Your opinion is your opinion, but when you are acting like you are a better person than someone who chose surgery, Pretty much crushing a human beings self worth. You are out to make people feel like **** and you are so self absorbed and have no respect for…

I am really pissed about all the judgemental comments on this thread, calling people names and just being very rude about someones accomplishments. I think that every person who says that it is a cop out or that you cheated because someone helped you to lose weight and that it wasn't your doing should delete this MFP…

Just because you have surgery does not mean you dont have to work out and watch what you eat! As much time as it may take someone without surgery it is the same for lap band patients. Just because you get the lap band doesnt mean you can just sit their and the weight falls off. No you have to work hard to get the weight…

You have no idea what you are talking about! Just like you use this site as a tool to help you, Getting weight loss surgery is just the same. It helps you to lose weight , but it will only work if you go by the rules! Until you have had the surgery you should not be able to give an opinion about the surgery! You are being…

Yep I totally agree and congrats to you and your hubby :) We are all different and need help in different ways I applaud the both of you!

I do enjoy my drinks, I used to drink Rum and diet, but found out that it wasn't helping me lose weight at all. Then someone told me to switch to Vodka and tonic, because it has less sugar than rum, so I did and found out that Tonic had alot of sugar soooo I started drinking Vodka and water with lime, it was tolerable, but…

I have the Lap Band and I have lost 100 lbs. Before I had the Lap Band I struggled so much, I would lose 50 lbs and gain it all back within like 2 months. I struggled all my life with my weight. This has been the only thing that has helped me. No it does not work on its own, you still have to exercize and watch what yo…

Vape I vape LOL.... I tend to drink everyother day, and on the weekends, I had to switch up what I was drinking though, I started drinking Vodka and water with lime, then I found MIO and I put a squirt f that in it.. I enjoy my Karaoke nights and some drinks, but I had to do it where I wouldn't gain either. And Ive been…

I met mine when I was in 7th grade, and we have been together for 23 years now.

I have this problem big time. When you used to eat alot more and fatty foods, It is easier to go to the bathroom. But when you eat less and not as fatty of foods, it just doesnt push through as it used to. I either have to eat prunes or take Milk of Magnesia every other week. I hate it, but I hate the thought of food just…

You need to lower your calorie intake. The less weight you are the lower calories you need try 1200

Because you are heavier you will lose more than 1 lb a week, if you are eating very small portions and exercizing. I weighted 262 and I lost 100 lbs in a year, so you can definietly lose more than you think in less than a year. But once you lose that weight, dont think you can eat whatever, you will always have to watch…

Salt and pepper hair, but on a man that has dark features.

Oh My goodness I am in the same situation. I bought one of those bike pedal exersizers to keep under my desk and I have (2) 5 lb weights too. Now if I can just get myself to use them everday LOL

You look great!
