    Crossfit? Anyone?

    I just started crossfit I'm June. I'm still completing my beginner classes and my son is doing it with me. We are both sore but are loving it so far. I think it will be adicting. I also went out and bought my own kettlebell to do some stuff at home... I just did a body fat test today and was not happy with the results. I was at 30 percent. I am about 17 lbs from goal, which I have gained about 8 lbs in the last few months. Which is why I joined crossfit. I need to get my body fat down to the lower 20s. I hope this crossfit helps!!
  2. I have heard that over time you will more than likely lose Fluid in your band! What have your doctors said? I asked my nurse that does the fills and she said no. Just wondering if anyone has asked this question of their doctor!

    marriage

    I didn't really rely on my hubby for that much. It was something I needed to do for myself so I went to the seminar and came home and told him what I was going to do. 4 weeks later, I had him drop me off at the hospital and told him I would call him when I was ready to be picked up. We have a pretty strong marriage and he is happy for me that I am happy with myself now. It's been almost two years now and we are still as tight as ever. He's only complaint is that I am way to into clothes now. I have taken over the entire closet. He has to share with our son now...
  4. I had to be on steroids about a month ago and just started another round yesterday. I gained about 5 lbs, but it went away within a few days if stopping them. Try not to go to crazy eating... It stinks :-)

    I think I have the stomach bug

    I can do the bat diet... Banana, applesauce and tea.... Toast and rice not so much :-) thanks for the tip. I use it on my kids, but forget when it comes to me :-)
  6. I woke up last night feeling very nauseous and looked pale and felt dizzy. I had some of those anti-nausea melts from the hospital and took one right away. It seemed to help. Still had a stomach ache but didn't feel the need to throw up. Took another one this morning. Just wondering if this helped with anyone else and did it make your flu last longer cause you couldn't throw up? Im wondering if I should try some Protein shakes to get something in me or just wait it out. Don't feel like eating :-) First time in almost two years with the stomach flu.

    Have you noticed...?

    It's nice to have someone notice, but compliments are sometimes hard to take. It's like, oh no someone is looking at me. Now that I've been here awhile, it's getting better because everyone and me is getting used to the new me. I had a love hate relationship with compliments ( if that makes sense)

    i feel bad

    Sheesh, you would have thought you had a whole pizza... It was only one slice right? Mark it down and count the calories and move on. I usually can't eat the bread part, so I usually just eat the topping off of one slice ... Yum!! Eat better tomorrow, its a new day!!

    My band seems to be working again!

    Glad to hear you did well over the holidays. And that you have restriction again at night. I didn't know Atkins has frozen dinners now? Are the at the regular stores? Good luck on your resolution. U can do it!!!

    Maintaining Weight While Travel

    I agree options are less while out eating. I tend to have more issues while dining out, so now I mostly stick with soup and Salad. I have a pretty limited food choice, but am ok with that... I will try a tiny bite, then that's usually it :-)
