4th fill today!

Hello all! I went in today for my 8 month check up. Since June I was able to lose according to my doctor 20lbs...which he says is great! I did get a slight fill today of 0.5cc's. Now I am at a total of 2cc's. I can't get much of a fill because I tighten up real quick. I was actually impressed with the way they started doing fills. They have changed to a new method of x-ray, so they can see the band to make sure there is no slippage and also to make sure that when he does the fill he can see the liquid actually passing so that I am not too tight.

I was back on track and then I fell off the band wagon. Not that I was doing horribly on my diet, but I am sure that I could have helped it a bit more. The reason for my fill request is that I know that I was eating more than a fist full of food and if I tried to limit my intake, I would be hungry in the next 2 hours. I was also snacking a lot in between meals which I knew was not good. So now I am on my 2 days of liquids and 2 of soft foods. I hope this helps me getting back on track. I need 22 more lbs to go to hit my 100lb weight loss goal!

I need to get my motivation in gear again. I'm sure that these last 20lbs is going to be a challenge and probably harder to lose, but I shall succeed!

Until next time!! xoxoxo

New Beginnings...

Here I am again! I am really trying to get used to my new body. I feel like everything is happening so quickly that my brain does not have time to catch up with my body. Although I feel great and I can see that obviously 73 lbs have shed from my body, I do still feel fat and at times feel like people are watching me for even daring to look at size large or medium. I know I may sound ridiculous with this, but it is the truth. I'm sure it will all catch up, but it's gonna take time. Here is a new picture of my hubby and I. He has also lost in total 40 lbs. He has been a huge motivator and my band has not only helped me, but him as well! Just compare this picture to the one on my profile.

Until next time!!! ♥xoxoxo♥

Here are the updated pictures to mark the 70 lbs!!

SEVENTY LBS DOWN!!!!


BEFORE SURGERY IN FEBRUARY

70 LBS DOWN!!!!!

S-E-V-E-N-T-Y, Yes people SEVENTY POUNDS! I DID IT!~ AND I'M LOVING IT!

Although I knew I had it in myself to do this, I just never pictured that I would actually be able to say that I have lost 70 lbs. It's like one of those too good to be true stories. I am out of words, but I feel great! now that means 30 lbs more to get to my goal weight and that to me my friends looks like a piece of cake!!

I finally was able to get back on track and that Zumba 10 day accelerator, so made this possible!

Picture to come.....

until next time ♥xoxoxo♥

Wiiiiiillllll!!!!! Where are you?????

I have been in a rut and as I have been reading aparently there are quite a few of us out there with this same issue. I just cannot get myself out of this vacation mode! I have not eaten horrible, but I know I can do better and of course get back to EXERSIZING! I think that would really help me back in gear. I do want to say that staying off the exersize has helped with my heel feeling much better, but now I just need to focus. I have been yo-yoing the same 2 lbs for over 2 weeks now.

OK MARIA.>>>>STOP AND FOCUS!!!!

On the positive side, now having lost 65 lbs I can honestly say that my sensuality is definitely coming back....I feel much better about myself. Losing 65 lbs is a huge accomplishment for me as I have not been this size or weight in over 12 years! It is an amazing feeling.

But I need to keep going...45 more lbs to my goal weight!

Back from Cancun!!!

OMG I had a wonderful vacation in paradise with my family. Stayed at an all inclusive resort and ate everything in sight...well what I could actually consume and only gained 2 lbs!!!! I had 2 stuck episodes, but nothing of major concern, just me again trying to shovel all my food and not chew properly.

Now, I just need to get my mind off the vacation mode, so that I can get back on track and continue on my journey! Follow the link below to see the fun in the sun!
