[NicholeSwimBikeRun]

You are looking MARVELOUS! I am to this point in your video journey and am still SO very inspired by you!! So much so that I am PAUSING this current video and going to see how high up my thigh I can get my first goal jeans.... (AE size 14, I dont know the cut. Hafta get back to you on that one!)

[danny03cobra]

i just started watching your videos and love them,love them,love them. i feel connected w you. i decided to have the lapband surgery donethis year and am very nervous. im afraid ill be starving and not be able to eat. by watching your videos makes me be more confident. i just hope everything goes well like you. i just love they way you explain everything, almost all the info i was looking for.

[Nicsaprincess]

Do You have any videos explaining why you choose Lap-Band over VSG or GB? Just Curious, I know its hard work no matter how you get there!<333

[badtolz2122]

Just started watching your videos today. Love them. Stay positive. I do not have surgery and neither does my wife. She's considerably overweight. I'm technically overweight, but somewhat ok with it (6'4" 215ish). Love the reviews and that's why I'm commenting/asking. Is there a web site to go to to get a list of healthy food/condiments. We're eating food that's probably not the greatest and a list to take to the store would be awesome. Any help would be appreciated. Keep it up. Size 8!

[jigglehugs]

I love your vids and all your sayings "It is what it is" "if you will" and "I'll take it" haha

[Udderworld6920]

Hi Katie,

My name is Shannon and I just joined youtube and have been watching your journey. I am a 34 yr old mother of two great boys and have had enough of my weight issues. I started out exactly where you were and have lost 30 pounds, I have my appt with my surgeon on May 4th and hopefully I can get my surgery done by the end of May. You videos have given me such great hope. I wanted to say thank you. I don't know if I can do my journey on here with videos but I would love the support. :)

[4katlack4]

Congrats and keep up the great work! You look amazing! I have one more appt and can schedule my surgery! I've been thinking about backing out lately so your video has helped! I do have lots of questions if you have time to help that would be awesome katlack94@yahoo.com! Good luck and keep it up!

[Apostolic562]

Hahahahahah number 2 thats explains alot =)

[kfavors25]

I have really enjoyed watching your videos!!! I had my lap band done on 3/31/11. I find you very inspirational. The Walden Farms also has caramel for dipping fruit in and they have chocolate for dipping. They are also calorie, fat, and sugar free. You go onto their website and find all other products. It takes a little getting use to the taste. But is totally worth it to feel like you are splurging.

[romina9983]

Thanks for showing the food products. I think i'll try some if those dressings out. Looking fabulous btw!

[becksgetsbanded]

yay! great video luv!! and can we talk about how great you look in this vid? the makeup, the hair, the earrings, oh my! great info and hey did you say SIZE 8'S!?!?! ;)

[rainsh01]

[shizgettingskinny]

I got a kettlebell yesterday. It came with a dvd and it totally kicked my butt. Thanks for the mention on the video a few weeks ago. I also have been addicted to going shopping for clothes now that I fit in " regular" sizes. It makes you feel great to fit into smaller sizes. You look great and keep it up!

[ocs874]

try a tankini....

[ocs874]

OMG....thank you so much for this video. I feel you in everything you said in this video. I am going through the same thing, and thought I was the only one. I am hard core most of the time, but you need you time and enjoy life. I feel guily sometimes eating a "cheat meal". I have lost 100lbs and I know that if you slack off for a week here and there I am not going to gain all the wait back. Again thanks so uch for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep up the great job!

[56applepie]

Katie, this is what our journey is about......it's are new life and we do live with other people that don't have our problems....my problem is getting the excerise in...I am 54 yrs old and with the less eating I don't seem to have the energy and my husband says I should eat more....can you believe it..I'm sure as soon as I get the excersie in the kg. will come off.

keep up the good work your looking great.

ciao Judy

[LapBandWagon]

You are doing yourself a mild disservice by saying that your lifestyle hasn't reached the point it should. The point of the tool is to help you live a better life, not to learn how to deprive yourself. You are so awesome, and thank you for inspiring us!

[w8n2loose]

WIth #2 issues. I've notice when I eat not only high fiber foods like soups & cereal, but fruits and veggies really help me. Always helps when I eat strawberries or my raw almonds. :)))

[w8n2loose]

Being pre-op I'm so curious about foods that you can get down. you mention shortcake, chinese food. So you can get rice, noodles, shoortcake down??? I do alot of whole pasta & brown rice now in many healthy recipes I enjoy. So really would love to know how you do with these? Wow size 8 that must have been amazing! Congrats on your progress girl!!!

[seemego2150]

wowoooooooooow you're gonna be in the 170s.....yeee haw!

balance is the key!! this is l-i-f-e! you've done this magnificently!

[losingitwithrebecca]

You're wonderful, Katie! And look fantastic. You got an 8 on ~ incredible - just not long ago you got into those 10's! lol - "it could be crack". LOL! you crack me up @ pb...wow. take care!

[JenBandtastic]

I have watched ALL of your videos and they are so inspiring! You look great!

[sarahsmomma1]

Congrats on the size 8. You will be in those in no time.

[kacykwinn]

Katie, my love! You look fabulous dahling & when you said there was crack in that dressing I nearly peed myself. Just saying. ;)

[cabernetqueen]

i almost missed this! i had to go look at your page and see I missed this one! argh YT! so thrilling the size 8! single digit jeans  lol! love it! you are a social butterfly and food is part of the fun... you are the guardian of your own "pie hole" haha! you know you limits and what balance is--- live you life girl- see you soon!

[LaurenFromFat2Fab]

We are always at about the same weight lol! I'm back! Glad to see you again! You look great! I love watching your videos you're one of my favs : ) Shitballs! LOL! Shut the front door! Love it!

[CognacKibby2011]

My husband walked by as I was listening to your update and said, "Did she just say shitballs?" I'm sure that will be his new favorite word. :)

[TheMrsSingalong]

I finally bought a treadmiil by proform a month ago and got on once and heard Jillian Micheals for 2 sec until it stopped I called the company and they sent a tech out and he found that it had to be replaced so here I am still waiting on it to be fixed so I can get in on this running hing with I-fit have you tried this yet..if so what do you think??

[Melissalosesitall]

I am concerned about "never being happy" with my results too. My swimsuit that I bought this year was a medium without a skirt. But, I am still looking in the mirror just as unconfident and nervous as I was when I was plus size. How is that even possible?!?!

For peanut butter, try "Naturally More". Comes with a yellow top. 2 tablespoons = 169 cal, 10 g prot. It's really good and less calories than all of the others that I've seen. And same thing...a little goes a long way. Thinner.

[skinnierme]

you were talking about salad dressing and you made think about the dressing I use I use Kraft Free Zesty Italian and it is 15 calories( oh yeah you read that right) 15 calories for 2 tbsp.. it is a little higher in sodium 480mg but the calories are low and you dont need alot of it,

[TyLynn1995]

Great video, Loved it..... Ass in a jar. I laughed so hard I had to go back and watch it again so I could hear what u were saying. I always smile when watching ur videos. Thanks so much~Tyna

[AmalCPhT]

hahaha "ass in a jar" !! You're too funny! You're doing great and your goal will reach you in no time!

[mypombella]

You are so beautiful! You are doing so terrific! Take care~Angie

[JacquiBloom82]

Love ur saying "shut the front door" hahahahahahahahah not sure australia has that one yet. I did my blood tests for lap band today, surgery set for may 4th and ur vlogs have helped me feel like im not on my own in this. ill be posting thru my journey too. Thanks again katie

[perfectlayde]

I love your product reviews...ass in a jar - hilarious! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[paradisej143]

You look STUNNNNNNING! Movie star status. Keep up the good work. Inspiring.

[jwu61281]

So glad that you are continuing to do well. I did speak with my nutritionist about the Walden Farms products and she let me know that its a lot of chemicals and to not eat them... What do you think? I bought the caramel sauce a while ago - was afraid to even open it...lol

[BanditStephanie]

Great to see ya Katie! Yes us Midwest-ers love our BBQ sauce and warm summer weather! Although is Michigan it's still been cold, getting sick of it! TJ Maxx has a small and rather frumpy plus size section. :( can't wait to be able to shop in the regular section bc their stuff is so cute and inexpensive!

[candj1977]

Congrats!!! Hey quick question....been on soft foods, liquids previous week, and in the total of three weeks post ops and have only lost 5lbs??? Is this normal?? Thought it would be a bigger loss with being on the liquids and mussy's :( Anyone else that can shed's some light any comments would help!

[Butterflyblanco7]

"tastes like ass"!!! LMFAO! you are hillarious KT, and doing so so well. YOu have only 20ish pounds to go! GOOD LUCK and keep up the positive attitude and hard work!. xx hugs from London, uk x

[spritefizzies]

[bandstarbeauty]

Wow! You have lost sooooo much off your face now! Amazing jawline! Well done :0) great to see you back, always an inspiration! Congrat's on the jeans, my mum's skinnier than me too but you are catching up girl! I've got a long long way to go but you help me to see I can do it. Thanx. X

[Stickyplasters1]

Hahah! 'Oh my shit balls?' Brilliant! :-) I'm so happy for you! I'm with you on the food, the life change I seek is everything in modoration.

[JennGCbanded]

yay for posting. Damn that cheese its so good but it does do its damage lol great product review :) i will have to look into it for sure. cant wait to meet you in vegas lol i talked about it in my video alil this week!

[ietsmiles1994]

Thank you for posting another wonderful video and for sharing your struggles.. Or as you say your roller coaster ride. You are an amazing person. I long to be a size 8 again.. or rather a size 10 for that matter. I used to be really skinny, but gained a bunch of weight. I'm getting banded on April 13th.. (I'm crossing everything as the first surgery date I had fell through.) I can't wait to start the journey.. I will hopefully get enough courage to document my journey in YouTube... Thanks Again.

[abandarina]

I love your videos! So glad you did an update :)

[misshansford]

[CinThruThickNThin]
