Well I aint gonna lie I rode my bike a whole one minute today lol. I hate it and it hates me. My joints hurt for weeks after exercising but I do work in a hospital so I am constantly walking about 5 miles a day lol or more depending on the patients we get. I do part a long distance from stores and do what I can do but arthritis is not my friend on any occassion.

The cure is simply greater exposure to the allergen! Exercise more (inadvertent exercise like you describe is ideal) until suddenly one day you realise that you are not only no longer allergic, but that you also require it to have a great day. Cycle commuting 30km to work is undoubtedly the very best way to start my day!

Oh my gosh, I've got the same allergy. Who would have known it was such a common ailment? LOL I like the idea of using a bathroom on another floor, but we only have 2 floors right now. In May, our new office building will have 4. Of course, I'll be on the 2nd floor again, but great idea to go up & down the stairs. Keep moving! I like it!

OMG! You made me giggle! My hubby and I broke the bed the very first time we were "together" sorta set the tone for alot of laughter in our bedroom! I Love it...can't take life too seriously!

I just recently started doing 5k's not boring ones only fun ones that have a theme so it destracts me....first one my only goal was to finish and not be last place...I did both I was second from last in my age group and 7th from last finisher...the next one is a color run where they throw color at you...its kinda fun and upbeat!

I just have to keep telling myself that people aren't as focused on me changing as much as I am. And that men are dumb. Happy Losing! http://helpwithweightloss.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/150800287492466748_uOvxWIIG_f.jpg

I had NO clue I would have to take shots after my surgery either until the surgery was done!! I got home and they called in my meds and I was told I had to give myself injections of blood thinners everyday. The first time was awkward. It really didn't hurt though. The needles are so small and they are prefilled syringes. You will be fine. It is a small price to pay for the benefits!!

Good learning experience and good advice. Protein bars will give you gas, protein shakes are better and lower in carbs if you need a supplement. Did you know you can adjust your carbs, protein and what ever else you want to monitor on MFP. When you first enter your calories they assign the breakdown and it is much higher in carbs and fat then what we traditionally eat. I eat 40% carbs, 35% Protein and 25% fat. Now this is still a little high on the carb and fat end but it gives me 135mg of protein and 154gms of carbs. I was much lower in carbs when I was losing and really cut back on carbs after 2pm in the evening. I also got caught up in the greek yogurt for breakfast for months, thought it was ok because it was high in protein 15gms. It is better to eat things that require chewing and take longer to digest. But mainly do not be discouraged, I know you say, I only lost 1/2 lb but just thing you didn't gain and sometimes your body needs time to adjust to the new weights.

No WLS surgery is not the easy way but I know without the surgery I would not be at goal and able to maintain for 2 months. I know I would not have changed my cheating behavior with out the gentle reminder of my band. My journey has had it's ups and downs and I did go through a lot of emotional feelings with my relationship with food. I honestly did not realize before surgery how much I used food to cope with many issues in my life. The first few times I was faced with obstacles in my life after WLS I was angry and frustrated but learning to deal with what makes us eat and behavioral modification is a huge part of this journey and probably the hardest. Great post Kime. Success with Lap Band is possible, I am living proof, I ate what I was suppose to, I took my supplements and I exercised my butt off (literally). Today no one would ever know I was obese 2 years ago. Today when people say, you are so tiny, I say well I used to be morbidly obese two years ago and I had WLS. I get asked all the time, Do you regret it? Now think about that question, would you rather be a size 24 instead of a 4. I don't think so. People are so curious about what I can eat, I can eat what ever I want, but I choice to eat what is good for my body. I do always warn people thought that WLS is not the easy way out and it is not a guarantee, you get out of this what your willing to put into it. Wishing you continued success.
