silly teenagers!!! I would take it as a complement!

The more posts you make or answer, the different status' you will get/

Sounds like a good eating day. As for the crystal light I say go for it If it will help you get more water in you. Water consumption helps with weight loss. Try for a week to get 3 cups of water in, then a week with 4 and so on and so on.

Go for it!!! You might be sore for a bit but will not regret it in the end!!

Hahaha @ your boss!! Good thing your close and it was not a weirdo situation!! Congrats on your weight loss!!

I hear after 3 days on the shakes your body gets used to it and you don't feel hungry as much anymore. I start tomorrow!! Hang in there!!

way to stick it out!!!

yeah, stacey diederich-speager. no spaces

I have a picture of my son in a pumpkin as my profile picture if that helps

What caused you to be deflated?? Great job on the weight loss!!

Maybe once you lose a few pounds you will want to make these acquaintances more like friends. Maybe you will have the courage to get out to the bars, dog parks, mall, book stores and strike up a conversation with someone who will turn into a great friend. No one ever meets people on their couch. Maybe you need the band to kick your but into gear and help you build more confidence to help build your circle of friends. Does that make sense???

Great attitude!! Make small changes one step at a time. Your doing fabulous!!

Today is a new day. Live and learn. You can do this!!

Great job on the weight loss!! maybe get a small fill and work harder on your protiens???

I am required to do a 14 day pre-op diet. I have decided to do 29 days... My surgery is on November 30th, 2011 and I am to start a three shake a day + 250 calories of low glycemic veggies on Nov 15th. I have decided that I am going to do 14 days of the Body by Vi Challenge starting Nov 1st. 2 shakes a day + a "normal healthy dinner". Why you ask?? Cause I need to get my but in gear b4 it is too late!!! I need to get back to eating healthy, I need to start losing b4 I HAVE to due to the band. I do not want to gain 25 pounds in the next 2.5 weeks because I think I need to eat everything in sight b4 my surgery. I have 4 more days of free eating. I am currently having a glass of wine.... After the 1st I will not get to have a splendid glass of red wine in a LONG time! I love a glass of wine at the end of the day!! I think that is going to be the hardest thing through out this whole experience... Crazy right?!?!!? God I hope I don't EFF this up!!!!

That is fantastic news. Well not the asthma but that you found a cure and can work it even harder now!!

The main thing about the lap band is that YOU have to be ready!!! Do not get the band if you are not mentally ready!! No worries about cancelling I am sure it happens all the time. You can always reschedule in a month, 6 months, 1 year when you are in the right frame of mind and did enough research to ease your mind. Do not feel like you gave up or anything, getter done when you are 100% sure! That will help you get 100% of the results you want/need!!
