teacher

I guess the main thing here is that we don't give up. It would be so easy to slip into those bad food habits again because we're so frustrated with the scale. Thank you for all of the help in motivation. Just reading LBT is so helpful. You're right, Mary, we can do this. p.s. I hate my scale today....says I'm up 3 pounds.....scale MUST be broken!!!!!

p.s. skinny to me would be under 200.

Sounds like we February people are all in the same boat. It is very frustrating to be losing so slowly after all we've gone through. I naively thought I'd be skinny by the summer. Now, I see that I am losing slowly and eating so much less and healthier than before, but I just thought I'd lose quicker than this. I've gone down a size, but when you are already a 4x....what's a 3x??? Not giving up...........just a little sad.

There must be something to that "3 pound" thing. I hear so many people talking about up 3, down 3. I am experiencing the same thing. Thought I'd lost 29...then 26....then 29....then 26..........frustrating!!!

There is a contest going on for composer's to write the final song for the winner. I always wondered who wrote that final song until Ryan announced that awhile back. He said that there are 1,000's of songs already entered into the competition.

February band club members check in!!! How is everyone doing???/ Michele

I think next week is the big "Idols give Back" week....where all the entertainers are going to be there. But, I never heard what the contestants will be singing. Could it be their week to choose whatever they want??? I'm with smaryetassssssss.........does anyone else know??? It's going to get back to EXCITING now!!!!!

Finally feeling like myself again!! Hoping to start working out at the gym again soon. I've only had one fill so far...not having trouble with the amounts, but those bad habits of bad food sure do haunt me!!

What's wrong with me?? I felt sorry for Sanjaya?? ahahahahaha I know he has to go....but he cried for goodness sakes. He's probably a really nice kid. I know, I know, I know......it's good he's gone!!!!

Best of Luck to you and welcome here!!! You are going to LOVE Dr. Spivak!!! Keep in touch and let us know when you get home!! Michele

Finally feeling better today....how about you babygrl??? I'm still coughing my head off, but at least I can breathe again!

Your private message to me was offensive, very offensive.

You sent me a private message asking if I really was a teacher. And how you hope I teach that it is a lot and not alot. Cheers. Now, do you remember??? I am not a liar, but you m'am are sick.

Go back to your private forum, your private pool and your husband's sports car. You are hateful.

I certainly hope you are not calling me a liar!!! You did send me a hateful message about the word a lot and alot. I took offense to you asking me if I was really a teacher. And now, You call me a liar????

Dislexi sent me a hateful private message about "a lot" and "alot". She is a very angry person with many issues. I love this forum...it's where I gain my strength....ALOT!!!!!!!! (sorry, couldn't resist)

Well, it never ends!! I woke up with pink eye this morning. Still in my gown, coughing my head off and squinting............arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I just wanted to exercise, drink water and get skinny!!!!! What next???

Maybe the fact that dislexi only had 40-50 pounds to lose makes her think differently. Most of us have 100ssssss to lose. And I for one, will never make it unless I am able to eat things I like in small quantities on occasion. Eating chicken breast and salad for months and then bingeing on unhealthy foods is what caused my yoyo dieting and gain of 150 pounds over the years. I love my band because I can eat what I want, watch my calories and protein and still lose weight. If I thought I had to eat chicken breast and salad for the rest of my life I might as well die right now. THis is a life diet for me....not just to lose a few pounds, but many pounds and then be able to control my eating to keep those pounds off. Just my opionion.

I had pizza the other night.....I just ate the toppings...yummy!! No problems....chewed alot.

Hey Babygirl...me too, Bronchitis and ear and throat. They have ordered a Z-pack antibiotic for me and I will start that later. Going to bed for now. Do you think our immune system is out of whack??

I was told by my doctor not to eat rice!!

I'm a Feb. 07 bandster, but I enjoy reading all of your excitement and questions, etc. About what to do instead of stress eat......I was a huge stress eater. When my doctor suggested finding a new hobby, I knew that wasn't the answer for me. I already have so many hobbies that I can't get into my craft room. So I did something different...I have replaced my eating with straightening out years of packrat stuff. I've cleaned out my craft room....I can actually sit in there and scrapbook now!!! I've cleaned out cabinets and drawers and such. I went to Barnes and Nobles and went to the home organization section and bought a really good guide. I've just tackled little jobs one by one. My kitchen pantry door now shuts!!!!!! Hope this helps some of you!!! Also, thanks for the charm bracelet idea......I'm going to get my bracelet and 2 charms today!!

:heh: Coughing definetely counts!!! My stomach is so sore, too. I've been coughing for 5 days and long nights. I hold my stomach (port) everytime..hoping nothing slips, rips, or moves. The doctor gave me some cough and congestion medicine, but I think I need an antibiotic. Water helps the coughing, but the coughing and just plain not feeling good makes exercising difficult.
