[ktteee]

Hi Wendy..........what detox do you use, I have been wanting to do it, but have no idea which brand is worth using??????? HELP! Great jeans....Thanks, Katie

[AshleyWPD]

Where or where has BandedWendy gone? Or where or where can she be? I keep looking for a new video. Hope you are well. :)

[LappedUpLissy]

"For those of you who don't know me..." LOL Like who Wendy? I am one day post op and a first time video maker. :O My last 6 months of prep I have learned so much from your videos. I hope I can find the same support on here as you have! Such an inspiration girly! I wish I lived closer and we could meet for a chai (While I pick your brain!)

[pollyteapot123]

I loved this video, I am needing to lose 10lbs before my body lift in three weeks, please please please help with tips i need to be at my goal weight before i go and this final bit is playing hard ball with me. i seem to be going down very very slowly now so anyone out there with tips please share them. I am keeping skymoons detox for the last week but need to try other things first......

[harrydracogirl1989]

i needed this kick in the butt! thanks for staying real Wendy! :D

[Provysjourney]

I had to look up the word "discipline" in the dictionary the other day to spell it correctly .All I saw was BandedWendy! You're right, I've lost and gained weight many times throughout the years. I'm successful when I do the right things (eat healthy, exercise, JOURNAL, etc) and I gain weight when I don't follow these guidelines...plain & simple truth. Avoiding the truth doesn't change the truth it, just makes it more difficult to get to where you want to be! You look great, love the jeans!!

[GRITSnMS]

ROFL, that is why I love this community! You call it! No BS Zone! Thanks, Wendy, as always!

[lukidda123]

I love that u admit that after all this time u asked for help. Love u 4 honesty!!!!

[Banded4Me]

[nikki1985hart]

Gr8 Job Wendy very good vid

[anulyph]

Great job and points!

[curlideva]

Great video your right you can lie to everyone else but you surely can't lie to yourself only you know what you're putting in your mouth.

[Taina009]

Great video and great work after carb load. Lokking good wendy

[melijean36]

I <3 WENDY!!!!

[Kellawanda]

Good video :) You've really incorporated a whole new life style...so dont fret about the 1.5 year mark. I think you're gonna sail past that and keep rockin out :)

[ckrtom2]

Thank you for talking about evaluating, being honest, and being tough. I think we all need a "wake-up call" sometimes! Strength builds on strength! We get stronger by BEING stronger. Keeping weight off absolutely takes work. Goal is great but we can never rest on our laurels and we must keep walking through the doors before us...

[TransformingTracy]

I think reflection is SO important, not just in the WLS journey but in life. If you are not reflecting on your week, looking at both the positive and the negative, then how are you able to move forward? One week becomes two, which becomes four, etc etc etc. That's how I got to be as heavy as I am, by not being honest and looking at what is really going on. Well, no more of that. Weekly weigh ins and accountability, honesty, and moving forward to a better me. As always, thanks for sharing!

[tinytummytales]

Thank you so much for this video! I haven't lost weight all month ... I'm about five months post op gastric bypass. You are so right... I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong and fix it! Thank you for inspiring me, I love All if your videos! Keep being awesome!

[marymary5958]

Wendy you are amazing thanks for inspiring me I'm not really an outgoing person to do videos but I really want to be accountable! Thanks for being you! Keep it up!

[bratlee2u]

Great video! You look beautiful, too.

[JewelJolyn]

Love the words, "Not gonna live this way". Gave my self that talk last week and it is paying off. Still on track and still going down. Do the work the weight will follow. It is a choice and I can't imagine that I was choosing to live the way I was but in reality I did. Today I am choosing to live healthy. It is never too late. Thanks for your patience.

[VsgVixen]

What is the Greek yogurt diet?

[allsunnydays]

You look awesome!

You are really handling your business. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to many of us.

[thinfulliving]

Needed this video today, ate some things I shouldn't have yesterday, and I'm right at the beginning of my journey so very glad for the kick in the butt you provide me. Thanks Thanks Thanks again for your videos and your honesty.

[BanditStephanie]

In it to win it, forsure. I also won't stop making videos even when I hit goal, I know it's crucial for me to stay involved to keep accountable. Also liked your comment the other day on FB about there's no reason we shouldn't be losing at least a pound a week when following the rules, uh yeah - I've said this same thing and it's soooooo soooooo true! Next goal for me after goal weight - become a runner Wendy style. ;)

[SaucyAgain]

Even though I am at start of my journey & waiting on date your videos are so important to me. Accountability is so flipping important so I am going to get computer back before surgery so I can post every week. Keep on rocking Wendy, you have given more than you'll ever know!!! Hugs, Liz (p.s. Send some of that warm weather, we are freezing here in MD)

[BandedSusan]

Love, love, love your no-nonsense approach. Bullshit - you are absolutely right!! 10 pounds in 5 days, you rock!

[MissJanieHere]

[candj1977]

Great Job Wendy! You rocked that 10lbs~! You do the work, you get the results PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! So true!! Great Job so happy for you!! I can feel your energy and it PUMPS ME UP!!!

[MsLullysWorld]

Well, what ever these 10 pounds were, water or not.... U did very very very well!! Yes, do the work, ask for help!.... Agree, agree, agree...... Tks for the video!! Love, Lucia

[GhrelinBgone]

Uhh...good stuff! lol Let's just call it like we see it :)) I've always said we have to constantly evaluate what we're doing fix it and move on. Was re-thinking my 165 goal...just found some re-motivation lol thanks!

[phillytomcat]

WOW, That's all I can say ! Your Amazing !

I really have to get away from the carb's..

[rainsh01]

Keepin' it real! You're telling it how it is. 

[losingitwithrebecca]

BAM!! love this video. i've done a lot of reflection since october. honesty has allowed me to progress, move forward, and get to where i want to BE! i carb loaded this week ~ felt so blah. protein, protein, water, water all this week before i get on the scales again. i wish i was in on that challenge...sounded like a good one! take care. xoxo

[lindels]

Awesome video

[mypombella]

Great video Wendy! You are a wonder! Good luck with your challenge

[PinkFishLilly]

Great job, Wendy! Love Janine

[mshotgirl4u1]

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[lapband23]

I don't carb load before long runs and I don't plan on it. I'm not trying to set any running records I just want to finish and finish with a healthy body/mind! However the morning of a long run I have oatmeal, a banana and orange juice. Never gained a pound on that and it works for me!

Great video...yes we must be honest with ourselves!

[nurseynurse29]

You truly are proof wls works!! And even more proof that hard work, honesty and accountability to oneself works!!! There is no magic, it takes hard work, planning and perseverance. I have watched your journey since I first started researching Lapband . And I told myself if Wendy can do it, so can I! Thank you, you have truly been a big inspiration to me.

[trish1186]

hahahaha "i love him to death buttttt....." hehehe you make me laugh! great video! <3
