I have onethat has pink and purple flowers...so my family would not steal it and use it

had two last night I think it works well because I am not feeling totally deprived and I got two more waters in..

Hi all who is interested....I did my first 5k two weeks ago. My only goal was to finish and not to be last. I made both those goals....if you are interested in joining me in doing 5k's and live in the area please let me know you can see the list of whats in the area on www.houstonrunningcalendar.com I do not run them I walk them...I like to do the fun ones like colorfest. Anyone is welcome to join me!

me I am all about thrift store shopping cause its cheaper and you can find some greats stuff

time to tell him to back off in a nice way cause he is not helping at this point

I have a water with a shot of apple vodka with a crystal light peach drink mix...low calorie and yummy...

I am pretty awesome....

put you first that it...we can find a million reasons not to do something...me personally I want to do crazy things but my weight stops me..so in order to live like I want I must do this...I hate being the fat chick on the back of our motorcycle...I want to snorkel in mexico...I want to skydive...not going to let this weight stop me...buck up sweetie and enjoy life!!!

just a FYI when I go out for drink with the old man i ask for a water with a shot of apple vodka then add a crystal light peach to it...its yummy and low calorie...

he means well he wants to help you get to your goal but we women don t like it..Mine does it too...but I know he means well and I love him for it and he gets to finish all my extra food when we go out i only eat a few bites and then hand him my plate likes the benefits...if you get bored go window shopping or anything that will take your mind off eating...I usually jump in my car and take a nice drive with the top down( I have an convertible) it make me happy find your happy thing and when you get to the stir crazy thing go do it.

I am a bad water drinker but I remember that I was told it helps in losing weight and sometimes when we are dehydrated it makes us think it hunger so we eat when we don t really need to be...learning to do it again myself have a bottle in my car, one by my bed for first thing in the morning and one at my desk at work...

start finding fun exercising like zumba classes or something else...I hate exercise but I just recently starteing doing 5k's but they are themed based like i did a night one where we all wear glow in the dark paint and light up stuff...it makes it fun and turns your focus to doing something fun...get a wii and play fitness games its fun...but if you make it a pain and think about it too much it will just be a chore and no one likes chores..

go to a jewelry store that have little guards that they can put on them that you can adjust so you can still wear your rings..most jewelry stores have them and they are usually free

I don 't run at all I walk them I have arthritis in my knees and lower back...they are fun this one is not timed at all...your more than welcome to come out...

don t beat yourself up I too am just getting back on the wagon..start over...thats what I had to do..I just recently came back to this site and I am reading thru the post of the sucessful people and talking to them to help me alone my journey...get back on the wagon....

the one this weekend is a color one so we all weat white and you get color bombed!!!

no problem i don t usually discuss anything about my lapband on facebook...

Don t let it mess with your head...you can do this. We all go up and down...I spent a week at the same weight was ready to scream had just started exercising and nothing....honestly I was looking for a dang camera thinking someone was screwing with me..lol.... I got mine over a year ago did not follow rules and did not do well..keep on the wagon...its a bumpy ride but I hear its so worth it...

Hi I am in Houston too... I'm just started doing 5k's let me know if your interested in doing one looking to start a lapband team....

I walked my first 5K and it was hard but you ran one thats freaking awesome I hope to run one someday...I am going to do my second soon keep up the great work!

if its truly stuck for me I must get it out. I sometimes find if I try to make it come out it will instead go down. Please understand that as I write this I hope this helps I have made many of mistakes with the eating too fast, not chewing enough and generally not paying attention. I basicly know that I will screw up unless I dummy proof it... so I put my food on a small dinner plate I only take one small bite at a time and chew the hell out of it. When I start to burp a small burp that means stop....note eat a few more bites. If you get the pain in the shoulder you better find a bathroom cause your in trouble. Please do not make the same mistakes that I have it only causes you pain and self doubt. Hope this helps!!

I am near Houston! and I Dr. Holis too!
