Not Meeting a Goal~Depressed or Blessed?

I feel blessed, I got sick with a cold two weeks before Christmas and had to take meds, then had a Colonoscopy on the 22nd! Well I did not make my goal for Onderland only by four lbs. So I am blessed that I lost more weight! I had a wonderful Christmas with Family and Friends! Lots of Laughter and many Compliments. I got called the Skinny Girl~ Now thats a great Christmas Present even if I missed hitting the Goal I set for myself. I will be there by the New Year! It will be wonderful to be in onederland! No new years resolutions for me, just lifestyle changes! I already feel like I have a newbirth! Things have changed greatly for me with the band in place. I love exercising now! My new Hobby is the Gym. I asked for Gym Clothes for Christmas, size M!!!!! Not 24W's~~~~Yeah! Not Depressed Here~Here I go !!!! Happy New Year ALL!:tt2::thumbup::thumbup::w00t::thumbup::wink: http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w0BzzFA/">

The scale is moving again, only slower this time!

:rolleyes:Still happy that when I get on the scales, I have not GAINED, two lbs this week since the last fill. Whoo hoo! I did find out when I went in for my Dr.s visit that the Dr. who performed my surgery is moving away, and now I am depressed. But I am so thankful for him and the relationship we have formed. He hugged my neck in the parking lot and boy did we get the stares from the nurses looking on. But he is truly very proud of his patients and how far we have come. He knows it has changed our lives forever! Thanks Dr. Tim! I will always remember you! It is not what you did or how you did it, but how it made me feel that I will remember! Best wishes to him, and I will keep up my promise to him to do the best I can to continue with the good work, for me and him.

Grilled Peanut Butter(Crunchy) and Jelly Sandwich??

Yes I was smitten at the Ag Expo in Moultrie GA last year by these tasy little sandwiches! Now If you just use one slice of bread, it cuts the carbs way back! Something about the heat and the butter that I use to toast the bread, what a great supper, my husband is eating vanilla ice cream right now for his dessert, so I get on here to avoid the temptation, and talk about my sweet PB&J Grilled Sandwich. He worked hard today and he has ALWAYS weighed the same since the day we married 32 yrs ago. Sooooo let him eat Ice Cream. Trying something different and Out of the Box helps us to avoid the boredom that will come with a diet. HAVING to do something just sets me up for failure, I WANT to do this so I am succeeding! I will get my beautiful Granddaughter Bayleigh for two days tomorrow and we are going to have a tea party (with Crystal Light Tea) and PB&J sandwiches! Then we are going to don our swimsuits and go to the BEACH. I have not been to the beach in several years, actually can not remember the last time??? That is sad considering I live only 30 min. from them. I may have some flab, but I am 91 lbs lighter than the last time I went. So here I go! Hope all of you are having a wonderful night!

Warmer Weather, and My spirits are lifting too!

:frown:Great!! The warmer weather is here, 68 degrees today! And the sun felt so good! I saw a lot of folks I have not seen in a long time today, and I just got compliments all day. It was truly wonderful. I have never been the center of attention like I was today, and honestly it was sorta embarrassing but in a good way, I could feel myself blushing! It has been 15 years since I was this small. I have a great restriction now so I just can't eat the food I use to consume, down another lb this morning, Yea! I have to drink a lot of fluids now, and stay hydrated, so the lbs will drop, especially with warmer weather coming we all will, it helps your body flush the fat you burn during the day too. Good Luck Guys, Enjoy the coming springs!:redface:

Vacation Time~ Losing Weight Right On!

Well this year for our 31st Anniversary (which is today!) I planned a trip to the mountains with lots of streneous activity~ and not what you are thinking! LOL We went to Sky Valley GA, the highest mountain in GA only to find 10-12 inches of white snow on the ground! I made a real snow man and crowned him with an FSU Cap! This Florida Girl had a ball, I went out to eat, cooked in the Cabin, and even ate cake! But~~~~~~I increased my level of daily activity, and that is what it all boils down to, eating less, doing more and watching the scales drop and the clothes sizes too! I just love the fact that I have lost over 20 inches in my hips! I have only lost 2 inches in my boobs!!!! So~~~~maybe no boob job will be necessary! Anyway if you have your choice???My husband is happy about that anyway! LOL "HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY EVERYONE" LOTS OF LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!:eek::biggrin:

Exercising The all Important Factor in weight loss and Life!!!

:ohmy:EXERCISE! OH HOW I HATED TO EXERCISE, AND EVEN NOW I HAVE TO PUSH MYSELF BEYOND MY COMFORT ZONES! BUT~~~~~EXERCISE IS THE ALL IMPORTANT FACTOR IN TAKING OFF THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THE YEARS! FOR WOMEN, HAVING BABIES PUTS ON WEIGHT FOR SOME AND THEY NEVER CAN PUSH ENOUGH TO GET IT OFF(FOR ME~AND FOR SOME THEY ARE A SIZE 2 RIGHT AFTER) YOU ARE BUSY WITH THE BABY AND JUST ABOUT FORGET YOURSELF. FOR OLDER WOMEN, THE AGE AND SLOWING DOWN DUE TO AGING HAPPENS, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM WORTH THE EFFORT JUST TO LOOK GOOD! :tongue_smilie:BUT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOOKING GOOD! IT IS ABOUT FEELING GOOD. AND LIVING LONGER HEALTHIER LIVES. :w00t:TWO MONTHS AFTER BEING BANDED, I JOINED A GYM, WENT OUT ON A LIMB AND PAID FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR(GOT A NICE DISCOUNT TOO) I KNEW I WOULD GO IF I PAID AND NOT LOSE THE MONEY!!LOL :w00t:I WAS SO UNSURE OF MYSELF, DID NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT ANY OF THE MACHINES EXCEPT THE TREADMILL AND THE BICYCLES! BUT THE GYM OWNER WAS A PERSONAL TRAINER AND HE SET ME UP WITH A CARD AND A ROUTINE! SO FEELING LIKE AN IDIOT, I GOT INTO SOME GYM SWEATS AND GOT STARTED. THAT WAS 4 1/2 MOS AGO. :wub:TODAY I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! I DO NOT BREAK OUT IN A SWEAT EACH TIME I GO TO THE GYM, I DO ABOUT 45 MIN TOTAL TIME ABOUT THREE TIMES A WEEK. I GET IN 10 OR 15 MIN ON THE TREADMILL TO WARM UP AND THEN HIT THE WEIGHT RESISTANCE MACHINES. I AM WORKING HARD ON THE ABDOMEN RIGHT NOW, THE UPPER ARMS(SO THEY WON'T BE TOO FLABBY FROM THE WEIGHT LOSS, AND THE INNER AND OUTER THIGHS TOO) I STARTED WITH 15 LBS OF WEIGHTS AND I AM UP TO 60 & 75 LBS ON MOST ALL THE MACHINES NOW. BUILDING MUSCLE, IT DOES WEIGH MORE THAN FAT AND LAST MONTH I GAINED INCHES FROM THE ADDED MUSCLE BUT LOST A FEW LBS TOO. THIS MONTH I AM DOING THE SAME THING. SO I AM NOT DROPPING THE WEIGHT AS FAST AS I DID TO START WITH! SO WHAT, THE INCHES I HAVE LOST ALREADY AND THE LBS ARE SUFFICIENT FOR NOW, AND AS I BUILD MUSCLE, IT WILL IN TURN SPEED UP MY METABOLISM TO HELP MY BODY ATTACK AND BURN FAT! :smile2:MAY I JUST SAY "I LOVE MY GYM" THE FOLKS THERE ARE SO HELPFUL, YET THEY LEAVE YOU ALONE TO YOUR WORK. I MET AN OLD HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND WHO HELPS ME NOW, HE WAS IN "MR. WORLD" CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PLAYED FOOTBALL IN SCHOOL, STILL LOOKS GREAT AT 57, STILL IN SHAPE AND STILL LIFTING WEIGHTS. AGING IS SLOWED DOWN BY THOSE WHO EXERCISE ON A REGULAR BASIS~IT IS PROVEN IT HELPS ARTHRITIS, ETC. GOOD AND HEART HEALTHY, START SOME TODAY. EVEN IF YOU CAN'T OR WON'T BE JOINING A GYM, START WALKING THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR 30 TO 45 MIN. AT THE TIME, DOING SOME FLOOR EXERCISES, (THE KIND WE USED TO DO IN THE SCHOOL GYM WHEN WE WERE YOUNG) JUMP ROPE, JOG, WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO GET MOVING, YOU WILL WATCH A CHANGE TAKING PLACE IN HOW YOU FEEL AND LOOK AND HOW THE SCALES LOOK BACK AT YOU! I PROMISE! DON'T LEAVE THIS ALL IMPORTANT FACTOR IN WEIGHT LOSS OUT OF YOUR LIFE, GET THE MOST FROM YOUR LAP-BAND® SURGERY!:smile::thumbup::tt1::tt1:

Less and Less CC's in my Band on Fill Days!

I could not understand why my CC's got less and less. I WANTED more and more, because I thought that is what gave me restriction. Well I found out the very interesting facts about the fills today when I went in for my Fourth Fill! You need more CC's when you are streaching out the stomach more! If you are staying on program, and eating like you should. (And thank god I haven't cheated that much) Then you require less CC's to get the same restriction as you had in the beginning. I have a 10CC band and I am at 5.7CC's I hope that I can get another 50 lbs off by July 2010! I will be setting some small goals, and breaking them down through time in order to get there! Going to change my eating plan a little, and start adding foods that are a little higher carbs, but in very small quantities! I want to be able to eat like REAL Normal people and still lose weight. Then when I get to goal weight I will just maintain, by increasing the caloric intake a little and watching it! I felt better after talking with my Dr. and his nurse today! I am getting slim~~~Thanks to Dr. Tim! (and the LapBand):thumbup:

What should I do?

:confused:Does anyone watch the show "What would you do?" It is a news show, they had a segment last night whereby a "FAT LADY" actress who was really big, and several teenage actress's were blasting her for her Fatness as she was sitting on the beach. They did this to her "ALL DAY LONG"! The teenagers had NO SCRIPT~and came up with the ugliest things to say to the FAT LADY actress, that they actually had her in REAL tears. NO ONE except a young girl who is studying obesity for a health care related field tried to intervene on the FAT LADY's behalf! There was a phycologist who analyzed the film at the end of the day! So many people walked past this lady and never said a word to try to help her??? What is this world coming to? Obesity even in childhood is rampant and the health care industry is not looking at what happens to the individuals like us who were trapped in those obese bodies crying to get out. Lapband surgery is certainly safer than the alternative and was an answer to a prayer for me. Although I was turned down by Blue Cross and Blue Shield for the Surgery and became a self-pay. I think the Insurance companies need to open their eyes and if they won't then this Government needs to open them for them, as they are some of the richest companies in the world! They are not helping by denying this surgery when those in need suffer.:glare: Sorry but it makes me so mad when I see an overweight person, they have to eat too, and others are walling their eyes at them and accusing them of eating themselves into obesity. There are those who are Trapped and want out. Condemming them won't ever be the answer.

Keeping yourself Motivated! All Important!

:thumbup:It is imperative to keep YOURSELF motivated! Ever talk to yourself? We do it all the time~we just don't admit it! Well for me it is the only way to avoid temptation and when I don't listen to myself, I listen to others OR TO THE FOOD ADDICTION I have lived with all my life! The food we want talks to our brains, our friends (that never gain weight no matter what they eat) tell us a little of this or that won't hurt. "If we want to change our bodies, we must first change our minds!" :tt1: Hummm! There is NO other Way! So go ahead TALK TO YOURSELF~TELL YOURSELF NO NO NO! to the cravings you have for the OLD foods that made you FAT and UNHAPPY! Tell yourself YES YES YES to happiness, energy, new life, new clothes, new agility! The reward is amazing so go ahead, tell everyone that I told you it was OK to talk to yourself! Listen to those inner voices, and talk back to them! Have a Happy and Blessed Easter everyone! He is Risen and He is in control!:smile:

Be Grateful!

:thumbup:BE GRATEFUL! It's easy to forget to be grateful, to let daily worries distract you from the abundance that is yours. Mortgage payments, troublesome children, a looming deadline, a broken waterheater, a headache, even a burned pizza or a fallen cake can interfere with your appreciation for the blessings you have been given. Inconveniences will pass, but God's Blessings and love will keep showering down on you. I don't plan to preach to you each time I blog on here, but I am so grateful for every day I live now with the band. I am thankful for the compliments I recieve from my true friends when they see me and see how I have improved my life. It reassures me that I made the right decision and I will be ever so grateful for the Band and God in my life.:smile2:

Labor Day~A year long labor of love with the Band! That is what I am talking about!!

:smile:It has been a real ride. I have been pretty happy every minute of it. There are of course disappointments along the way, but they seem to go away soon and we move on again. I am really laboring over cleaning the silver for my daughters upcoming wedding and getting all the crystal out and unpacked and finding the "special" pieces from those who have passed away, that we will incorporate into Jennifers special day. I have the great grandmothers punchbowl the was used at the 65th Wedding Anniversary of Jennifers great grandparents in Iowa, we will use that, it has been used at all of my childrens weddings except the oldest son. Jennifer will carry a silver locket with a picture of her dad's mom, (Grandmother Hurst) wrapped around the stems of her bouquet. She is the grandmother who spent a lot of time with Jenny, one of her mentors. Mrs. Hurst NEVER missed a day of school. Even in the hard winters in Iowa! She was well educated for her time. Jennifer finished RN school and is now working for a surgeon, and off every weekend! (Unless there is an emergency) She is borrowing my diamond tennis bracelet to wear,(I may never see it again~I will have to borrow it back, LOL) She will wear a blue garter, and a white one to keep. Her colors scheme is black and white. I told her I would not wear BLACK to the wedding. I have worn Black to disquise my weight all my adult life, and even tho I am fond of the color, I need to shine, not fade away! My dress is on the way, should be here next week, can't wait to see if it will fit right! Will post pics. I have uncovered Aunt Velma's silver salt cellars, Our 5th Wedding Anniversary Champane Flutes, and a lot of other goodies, so much that I can't see my kitchen table. So I have to go and clean that off before the hubs comes home. I am going to try to get to a wine tasting this afternoon and order a couple of cases of private label (With Jennifer and Franz' photos on the label) wine for the wedding. Have a wonderful day everyone.:smile:

Back from Alaska and ready to get down to business! Losing weight is an everyday JOB!

I do love to travel and ALASKA was the best yet! We cruised on the Norwegian Pearl to Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, then to Victoria BC and then to Seattle, WA for a couple of days. Discovered I have one good day to eat and then it is followed by a bad day. The motion of the ship did not help either even tho it was ever so gentle, I think it affected my digestion with this band. I ate good, just not like the rest of my group I was with. I HAVE to have the time to eat slowly and we were always going to Bingo or to something NEXT! I did get a couple of nice peices of art at the Art Auctions and drank the free Champagne! I was always full and satisfied, I had carried onboard my protein shakes and made sure to have one evey day. I had LOTS of energy and it is a good thing, because the Pearl is a very Big ship and we must have walked two to three miles every day! My legs were sore! It was TOO COLD on this cruise to even think about the pool or the Hot tubs even tho people were in them! I could never have let go of the towel or robe to get in! The wind had a chill in it! The scenery and the rich history of Alaska was so interesting and the views of the Mountains, glaciers and the different way of life was so facinating. I wish the trip was longer. Now it is back to work for me! Both on the job, the gym and the diet. I did not gain any weight but then I did not lose either, it seems to be this way when I cruise. Not sure of how they prepare the foods, but tried to eat lots of fish and seafoods this time and salads! The fruit was good but no strawberries except once. I bought some really good blueberries in Pikes Market Place in Seattle, WA I love that place, the prettiest flowers. Drank lots of coffee and I know I shouldn't (black tho no additives) and there is a Starbucks on every corner. LOL Had a donut at Top Pot Yummy and found the Five Points Cafe in Seattle to be the best little restaurant and bar open 24/7 since 1929! Check it out if you ever go to Seattle. Went up in the Space Needle! Walked a LOT in Seattle! Took the Double Decker a couple of times and the Monorail once. Had a wonderful break. Missed you all and my Facebook friends too. Glad to be home.

Had a Case of the Lazies today!

Depressed or what? Don't know but I could not move off the couch today, just did not want to do anything. I had so much energy the first six months of the journey and now I feel tired, well I did just get back from a 12 day Vacation, (No Rest then) Guess I need a vacation to get over my vacation. Nothing really on TV either, can't believe that I watched Top Model!!?? I wanted to eat more today too, just sitting around, should have gotten my butt up and gone to the Gym, well there is always tomorrow! My next appt is Friday and I dread it, because of the cruise, I have not lost any weight this month, and dread the visit! I need my Mojo Back! And the Dr. and Staff always do that for me, cause they are my friends now and really care about me, I know this to be true~sooo I will suck it up and get to the Dr. I think I get too hung up on Goal Setting and feeling like a failure when I don't meet the goals! Got to get past this! I also have a few friends who are a little upset and maybe even a bit jealous I am getting smaller than them, they can say things that really hurt! I want to take off 30 lbs this next year and I believe I will too, got to work at it and I will. Thanks for hearing me vent! Later!:smile2:

Second fill Coming up! Excited??? Don't Know What to expect!

I have to admit, I am a little worried about the next fill and excited too! I want to get more weight off and keep it off and I know this is what I wanted! But in three days I will get the next fill #2 and I am so nervous. It doesn't hurt, I am not anxious about that, but I just worry that I will not be able to consume any food much that I like, although I don't get hungry now. I also worry that I will choke or get food hung and panic! Scared to death of that! I have not thrown up at all and I don't like to or want to. Anyone else feel this way?:thumbup::eek:

Two Deaths in the Family in One Week! Stress!!! It is really affecting my attitude!

STRESS AFFECTS MY ATTITUDE AND MY APPETITE! I GET SO OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I SUFFER OR SEE OTHERS SUFFER. I THINK THAT FOOD HAS BEEN MY COMFORT FOR SO LONG, THAT WHEN I AM SAD, I WANT TO EAT AND NOT JUST FOOD, SWEETS! I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO SABATOGE MY DIET PLAN, BUT THEY CALL TO ME WITH COMFORT. IT IS REALLY HARD, IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE FEELINGS? I AM SO FULL TONIGHT, I HURT! IT SURE FELT GOOD GOING DOWN THO!:frown:UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF NOW AND FEELING GUILTY.

Food and Memorial Day Blahs?

:frown:Just thinking I wish I could eat a Hot Dog! Blah, Blah is my body adjusting faster than My Brain? I use to think that my brain moved faster than I could talk, and that I could think of things and ways to amuse my mind to keep the hands away from food. Is it Just Memorial Day Blahs? I use to love to fix a big potato salad and ribs and hot dogs and hamburgers, I just kinda feel like I am missing out and just feeling a little low and left out right about now. Not with the way I look and how I like getting into clothes sizes I could not wear for the past 10 or so years, I just sit around (when I am not working and think too much, it is hard to stop thinking about foods that I want to eat and can't) and want to eat, so I have to modify this behavior I KNOW! Anyway I think it has to do with lots of depressing things going on in my life right now, recent deaths, financial concerns, etc. I will get over it, and I will move on, and life will get better I KNOW: just needed to vent to those of you who KNOW where I am at at this stage, rolling 4 or 5 lbs around is so depressing, up and then down and then back up again, very challenging for the last 20 lbs on any diet program and even with the band too.:sad:

Happy Days!

:smile:Good Morning! And it is good. I am staying the same, and that is a GOOD thing. I look at life this way, at least I am not gaining weight. All my life I gained weight. Now I am able to stay within a lb or so and right back down to the weight I have reached. I am fairly content with this weight, but sure I would like to get one size smaller! I believe it will come to me one day soon. I am not going to push too hard, to allow my skin to adjust to all the weight loss. I have two grandchildren arriving in September, new babies. One is a Girl~Ava and the Other a boy~ Wesley, So life is all good. My youngest daughter is getting married to a wonderful young man she has been seeing for 8 years now on and off. They are the perfect couple. Planning is now in the "Get it done stages, so we are a little stressed, but not much, it is fun!" So many Happy Days! I have nothing to complain about today! May God Bless your day and Give you What you Desire!

It is raining! NO BEACH TODAY~ TEA Party instead?

:frown:Well so much for the beach day, it has been pouring for two days now, so my granddaughter and I have played dolls, dressup and today it will be the "Tea Party" time. God has given us this time together and I will not grumble about the rain, we must need it. Trying to stay on plan with a three year old in the house is harder than I thought! She wants Chicken Nuggets for lunch! Here we go, Fast Food places are places I try to stay away from now, they tempt me too much! I can't have fries now, they come right back out and no bread, so what will I get a thin piece of hamburger meat? No thanks, I'll save my money. May get a happy meal with Chicken Nuggets??? Have a great day all, and my God bless your lives today.:thumbup:
