Congrats I did my first one last month only goal was to finish it and not be last. They are addicting I am ready to do my next one.

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!

ok help please...I have no energy at all I have tried to drink more water cause I thought it was dehydration, but thats not it. So I would like to start exercising but by the time I get home I am exhausted. So my question is can anyone suggest something that is not a diet pill that I can drink to give me that little boost of energy after work to get a work out in??? Got the gym membership and really want to use it.

day two of the liquids only kinda grumpy but following the rules... mind over stomach today...

Just got a fill after not getting one for ten months back on liquids for two days...excited about starting over!!!

see if you can find another one in the area and explain to them your situation and they will most likely help you.

thats great that it worked out for you!!! Good luck with your lapband journey!!!

I started to replace my larger clothes and it gets expensive... So I started shopping at thrift stores and its actually working out well. I spent like 122 and got 6 pairs of capri pants and 4 pairs shorts and 10 shirts and they were all cute. I am wondering if anyone else has gone this route with replacing there clothes? I then went home and cleared out all the clothes that just hung on me and took to a donate center so hopefully someone else can use them.

thats awesome I go to good will but lately I have not found much I was going to go to an different one in my area this weekend...its fun because they are still clothes in good condition and I know the brands that fit well so I just look for those brands

I am fat because I use food to control my stress and its sometimes easier to eat then think about my problems...none of my problems are like threatening or anything like that. Food has always been my comfort item..like a blanket...I grew up with not alot of food in our house we were pretty poor and I was a skinny little thing under 100 lbs thru high school then when I had my son I left his dad and sometimes I only had enough food to feed one of us and of course i feed him not myself. So when I got older i had to always have food in the cabinet and if it got low I would really freak out I would go to the store and make stupid choices on food just to have some food in my house. I would overeat any time I was stressed. Cheap food junk food were my friends. Now my children are grown and completely normal weight because I did everything I could to keep them from having issues with food as I have. I had to retrain my mind completely that I am not the single broke mom I can be ok. Its actually funny now cause when we go out and get a margrita it kills me to pay 8$ for a drink the drink is amazing but 8???? He has got me to realize that yes I can eat out and if I only take a few bites its ok I now get a meal get a togo box right away then put 3/4 of the food in a to go box and eat the 1/4 and he get the to go box.

went and got vitamin d and zip fizz thanks all for your help!!

since I have gotten sick two nights in a row from overeating I realize I need to go back to square one and started on protein shakes and liquids again. ok this is so ridiculas I started to cry because I was drinking a protein shake instead of food....really!!!! it didn t taste bad...I think gonig and getting my bosses lunch didn t help...ok sucking it up and putting big girl panties on...

I survived and am much better no tears but still one the protein drinks..also lost 3 lbs...so its a victory got the weight moving again after 6 months!!

hang in there

no I got mine back in august and only got one fill lost job which means I lost insurance and just gave up so I decided three weeks ago to start back over got a fill scheduled in three weeks and trying to get back on the wagon. I really want to do well and I am back to work and most of the stress in my life is gone so I am mentally really just need to get thru the desire to eat mindlessly pulled out my books and got back on this site to get the encouragement and people who understand. thank you for understanding

your welcome having a nice protein shake form breakfast ...if I could just figure out how to keep emotions and stress from hindering my hunger that would be great.

I sleep like a rock...my kids are grown men well at least two are 20 and 21 my 16 year old takes care of himself I might try to go to the gym first tihing in the morning cause by the time Iget home from work I don t want to do anything. thanks for the suggestions I just need to suck it up and go...

I am the same I got my surgery back in August and have only lost 17 lbs. I only got one fill and have not stayed to the diet. Lots of stressful life changes in that time but got refocused about two weeks ago getting a fill next month and getting back on track. If happens I get so excited when I see people on here doing really good and it reminds me that I can do this I just to really focus. Keep your chin up you can do this too refocus and get back on the wagon with me..I moved over and and left room for you!!!

Hi Doctor Hollis is great. He is a no nonsense doctor he doesn t beat around the bush. Give it a bit of time it took me about a month and a half to get everything done and approved and then the surgery I had to wait two weeks cause they were booked up. I had to the psych, the nutrition and all that jazz but it was worth it. If true results said get the edg then get it call your insurance and see if you need a referral if so ask true results for one. If you don t do everything that is required it will not go thru.

no not impatient just excited...I'll cross my fingers for you

dan your awesome...that made me laugh and I have done the same with family and friends they are curious about the port to so I have laided down and let them feel the port its funny...My hubby calls me his Matrix girl..

damn TOM!!! it will be gone soon then you will start losing again

donuts get stuck then you will have to run to the bathroom and get sick mess up your mascara....be red faced...not worth it...

go take a nice relaxing bath with a good book and some candles pamper yourself get your mind off the F word. Also I loved the campbells special soups such as the tomato basil and squash they are awesome they were my saving grace for awhile they are the square ones
