[newtoy4kt]

@msclarita64 Thanks, Clarita!!!

[Sunnedae]

Woah 82 pounds is AMAZING!!! Congratulations!

I completely agree with you on the accountabilibuddy concept - as well as doing what works for you instead of comparing.

Haha exercise guilt - I have it - I love it. Great video.

[newtoy4kt]

@Sunnedae Thank you!!! And glad to hear we have "exercise guilt" about NOT going, vs our bad past patters! Yay us!

[jakilynn1]

Hey Kt,

I am going for my first appt. and was wondering if you could suggest some questions to ask. Can you give me any tips, I would really appreciate it. Did you ask any questions about pregnancy and lap band.

You look great and I'm sure you feel great too!! Good for you !!

THanks you,

Jaki B.

[newtoy4kt]

@jakilynn1 Jaki, I DID ask questions about pregnancy and lap band, mainly around how does THAT work? I would sit down, make a list of questions that you're thinking, 9 times outta 10 the doctor will cover it with you regardless before you even ask! Mine did at least :) GOOD luck!

[GhrelinBgone]

Love that: "Don't let the fat girl take over"! Excellent!! Keep up the good work. We really have to blaze our own trail and stay in our own lane for the success we want. Thanks for sharing :)

[newtoy4kt]

@GhrelinBgone Exactly, I like that... "stay in our own lane." So true!!!

[86butterflyGirl]

how many days a week do you go to the gym

[newtoy4kt]

@86butterflyGirl It varies week to week, but on average 3-4. I try to go every other day, on my days "off" I'll do something else like Wii dancing, or a random zumba class, something to keep me active :)

[stars4ru]

I am just recently banded but I thought you had to sip when you drink. How do you get so much water in?

[newtoy4kt]

@stars4ru I truly have no problems getting my water down because I have it with me every minute of the day! I'm not "gulping" or chugging... but constantly drinking it to get that water in!

[melijean36]

Amen to making this our own journey! Great message!

[newtoy4kt]

@melijean36 Well thank you, Mel!! ;)

[ColorMeHealthy]

Loved the video and the workout outfit! Looking good!

[newtoy4kt]

@ColorMeHealthy Thank you so much!!

[camclaughlin]

kt, I am the exact way.. yes my 1000 calories is way better than before.. but i do not lose if i do not move (exercise) .. but like you ... i like that.. then i know exactly what i need to do to make the scale move.. :)

[newtoy4kt]

@camclaughlin Exactly, glad we're on the same page!!! Thanks :)

[olive4beauty]

Thanks I needed this swift kick in the booty! It is my journey and is going to be different than anyone else. Love the Nsv!! Thanks for the vid and congrats on the .4! My skin was super dry for about 3 months after wls.

[newtoy4kt]

@olive4beauty So glad you liked it! AND I haven't forgotten about you and your hair video request, I'll get on that soon!! You're too sweet! :)

[MsLapbander]

Looking good!

[newtoy4kt]

@MsLapbander Thanks!!! :o)

[crysholman]

You look amazing. Way to go girl.

[newtoy4kt]

@crysholman Thank you SO much :)

[Louismom]

You go Katie!!!!! Love the outfit, it's inspiring to know soon I will be able to do the same. Thanks for the great videos =)

[newtoy4kt]

@Louismom Thank you SO much!! And yes, you CAN do the same and it will feel SOO amazing, just wait... you'll see ;)

[kacykwinn]

Katie! Loved your video (as if I could NOT)! Being one of your accountability buddies is the bomb; I'm really, really thrilled to talk to you every day! :)

[thisisonlyatool]

You are amazing love your video's they always force self reflection and give encouragement to make my tool and my choice to have weight loss surgery work to the best of my ability. You look amazing and I love your hair of course.....

[shaunaboo961]

WOW 82.6 AWESOME.... GREAT JOB

[bandedmama]

you look super cute in your workout outfit, Keep up the great work!!

[LaurensWLSJourney]

Great video! You look AWESOME in your new work out outfit! I just had the same NSV in my week 2 video LOL!

[WeightLossKerri]

Your advice in this video is soooo compelling. Thank you. And you're right I AM the reason I chose the surgery (lap-band) not for my family..not for my friends...not for my boyfriend..but for ME! So making the decisions that are right for me will allow me to be most successful but more importantly most happy and healthy after I have my surgery..

Thanks again oh and CONGRATS on both your scale and non-scale victories :)

[RelaxxKiller]

OMG OMG you sexy beasy!!! honest, just this video, and i have not missed a vid of yours to include your archives. Your cute lil' double/chin, is sooooo GONE!!

I mean you look so so good! Jeremy is so swesome as a partner but extremly busy, but always makes time!! Rather than compare, which I don't, if I am struggling, I might look at what I'm missing that I may learn from others. get pissed? nope, never. totally agree with your words.

Again, you SEXY beast! Love you to death, Deanna

[walknwendy]

Awesome job Katie!! Hey a .4 lb is still a .4 loss...you are doing such a good job and I like the workout outfit..you look awesome in it!! Keep on Keep'n on :)

[Bandedn2010]

You look too cute in your workout outfit! I have been jealous that others have been losing more than I am. But I have had to remind myself this is my journey and no one else. Thank you for your words they mean alot!

[newtoy4kt]

@Bandedn2010 Oh belieeeeve me I have been jealous too, it just took me 8 months to wake up and realize, this is about ME and FOR ME. We've all been there, but thanks for your comment!

[TheNerdGirly]

awesome job KT... you look great in the outfit.. ^_^... and you talked about the problem w/oily skin.. if you go to sephora they have these great oil blotting sheets that might help keep away some of the shinyness

[newtoy4kt]

@TheNerdGirly Good tip on Sephora, I love that store :) THANKS!!!

[taytay2befit]

oh wow you rock the outfit girl!!!

[newtoy4kt]

@taytay2befit Aww thanks!!! I will rock it MUCH more with the more weight that goes away!! :)

[swish]

Awesome week, girl! -.4 is amazing considering all the vacation you've had in the last few weeks. SO proud of you! Have a great weekend.

[newtoy4kt]

@swish Thanks so much!! I appreciate it :)

[gastricRose]

I so understand about the workout clothes my hubby says go for it you look good ..and I say wooooo I am showing to many curves right?? but I am starting to like it so glad you talked about it and other things your amazing my friend thanks for being you and sharing .....love ya....love rosemary

[newtoy4kt]

@gastricRose Rosemary you ROCK those workout outfits, I've seen you in the your videos! You do it right! And you're too sweet, you're amazing!

[lapband23]

Looking good, so true about the exercise. I am 19 pounds from goal and there is no way I would be here without exercise.

[newtoy4kt]

@lapband23 19 pounds away from goal!? Hoooly crap!! How awesome are you! And yes, exercise is... KEY!

[Melissalosesitall]

I would be excited about that 0.4 too with all of your traveling. It is tempting to compare our WL to each other, but it really is all about our own personal journeys. It is weird to have that conscience telling you that you need to work out. I have heard that about the water too. Keep us updated!!! I'm interested to know how it goes.

[newtoy4kt]

@Melissalosesitall You're a rock star who COMPLETED the c25k, you're mentally back in it to win it! WooHoo! And thanks for being awesome skinny minnie!

[Newlifetina]

82.6 lbs!!! That is fantastic! Love the dooo. Great Video!

[newtoy4kt]

@Newlifetina Thank you SO much :)
