car wreck
I had my band on nov 30, 2012. Its been a year. 2 months ago I had a bad car wreck and broke both legs and one foot. I am still laid up. I was in the hospital a month. While in the hospital, I never had any saline removed from the band. Maybe I should have because I couldn't eat very good. The physical therapist put the…

nsv x 2 today
The first was a lady telling me about someone she knows- "she is super tiny, smaller than you even." The second - some one else called me a skinny minny. It is so foreign to me I just looked at them both like I was deaf or something!

what do you do with those puppies in a sack?
Ok ladies, I know I cant be the only one with this problem. Before losing 60 lbs my bra size was double d. now I'm a full c, but I still have the sack the double d's came in. How do I get those puppies to stand up and be still? What bra do you recommend?

surprisingly hard nsv
I cleaned out my closet. It was really hard to get rid of the size 14, 16, 18, and 20's. I have, no, had them all. I guess they felt like security blanket. I was really surprised how hard it was. I kept arguing with myself "but you won't have anything to wear", "but you can't wear these anyway, they are WAY TO BIG!". I…

a bad wreck
So I had a bad wreck. I hydroplaned and hit a pickup truck head on. I am blessed to be alive without head, spinal, or internal injury. But I have a crushed left femur, fractured right tibia, and fractured right foot. Yes, two broken legs. Had surgery on femur and foot. I am wheel chair bound, no weight bearing on either…

ugh.. no success today.
I woke up to a young girl looking in my living room window. She was from across the street. Her dad had kicked her out and she slept outside in 20 degree weather. We called her mother. She wouldn't let her come to her because the mom's boyfriend doesn't like the girl. She called her grandma and the grandma wouldn't let her…

im glad for mfp because
I felt like I my wt loss had just stopped. but looking back at the tracking tool, I see I am still losing around 4 lbs a month. I had always thought 1 lb a week would be a good rate for wt loss, and low and behold, that's what Im doing! The graph keeps it real.

quarterly meeting nsv
not many daily coworkers have mentioned my wt loss, but at quarterly meeting today, the people that only see me every few months made lots of comments! "wow, you've lost a lot of weight!" and my favorite " Look how skinny you are!" Oh yeah!

what comment made you mad then but you can laugh about now
At my highest weight I had to buy new underwear to cover my growing behind. When I got home my mother in law was there. I took the panties out of the bag and held them up. I said " oh those are soo big I dont think they will fit." My mother in law looked up at them and said " OH, THEY'LL FIT". Made me mad, but..... they…

one day, 5 years ago...
For one day, and I mean only one day, the scale teetered between 199 and 200. I of course claimed the 199. For 1 day. I hadn't seen that for probably 10 years before that. I recently went to the doctor and I read her history and physical note on my chart. "she has been coming to me since 2001 and has been obese as long as…

banded nov 29, 12
Hello all. I have lost about 30 lbs. I dont excersise so I guess it could be more if I did. And I am still learning how to eat. I have had a few episodes of food getting stuck due to eating too fast or too much. But I am learning and doing better. Anybody else banded in November? How are you doing?

my pants. nsv
My extra large scrub pants were getting way to big. I went to the store and just bought some size large without trying them on. I thought i better try them on before I washed them to make sure. THEY ARE TOO BIG! Mediums here I come!

how much did you lose before people noticed?
I have lost 20 lbs. From 226 to 206 on my 5'3" fame. My clothes are fitting alot looser and I know my face is alot slimmer. No body has said a word. I havent really said anything about trying to loose weight, so no one is inspecting me every day to judge my progress. But I thought some one might have noticed.......…

backtracking....
I went on a cruise. FYI- dont ever go on a cruise if it will totally bum you out to gain back a few pounds.. gained back about 4 lbs. Was at 207, Came back at 211. I could see the all important 199.9 right around the corner but now it will take a little longer. Well, here I go again..... :ohwell:

warning!
If you dont want to "fall off the wagon" ,. . dont go on a cruise! OHH THE FOOD!!!!!! CANT RESIST. :ohwell:

elastic
Somebody at a weight watchers meeting one time told me "elastic is not your friend". Well, I have lost about 18 lbs now and the clothes I was wearing (with elastic) are still a little snug! I guess they were stretched to the max before! I guess its true - ELASTIC IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. you think you can still fit in a size 16…
