my doctors told me that i can eat anything, but not a lot and not often. I am at a clinic of all bandsters under 18, so they figure the second they say "YOU CANNOT HAVE THIS", what ever it is you crave like mad. but personally, my no no is fast food, i will NOT eat it

girl i know how you feel, but look at your little ticker in your signature... down 11lbs already! i remember how happy iwas to see my little fish swimming along! soon that day will be long gone!

its ALRIGHT. just dont make everyday after thanksgiving a repeat! we all have our setbacks, just remember it on christmas when you want the second piece of pie...

BREAD BREAD BREAD. oh my goodness do i have to be careful with that. and meat, i just got venison stuck not 10 minutes ago. and i also agree with julie, i get scrambled eggs stuck too and dont drink ontop of something stuck, it just makes it worse

ice cream is so hard to pass up. i know exactly how you feel. i dont keep any in the house,a nd i seem to be able to not buy any at the store just because i feel like everyone is starring. I dont get it anywhere else because i dont eat fastfood at all (except blimpie, subway and soup from schlozkeys (sp??? lol)) we really have all been in the same place, you can get through this, just dont let ice cream mean that much to you. and if you need it, only have ONE serving, i know its only like a half a cup but you can do it!

Thanksgiving was great! i so stuck to my diet, and i am so proud of myself!!! i got a smaller plate than everyone so i wouldnt be piling the stuff on and had a piece of pie for dessert (not pie, cake, Cookies ect as usual) how did everyone else do?

alright hun, im 17, i was banded when i was 16, and yes, you can be banded. i live in michigan but i was banded in ill. chicago to be exact. its called New Hope. this is the address University of Illinois Medical Center:New Hope the webpage doesnt say much, but talk to amy, (shes my nurse, and i love her) if you have myspace... MySpace.com - Amy - 41 - Female - Western 'Burbs of Chicago, Illinois - www.myspace.com/amyphipps and if you want, you can look me up, i am totally open to all questions.

thanks a lot indiogirl, ha purplegirl... indiogirl...

i dont even want to go because of all the food that will be there...

i can look in a mirror i can look on a shelf in the clothing store and say "this is too big" a weird one... i can pull my knee up to my chin

i want a first kiss before i start college i also want to start over in college, not be the fat kid

first off, id cut out the drinking all together. thats prolly why you can eat so much. second, what else are you doing in addition to the treadmill? even little things like parking at the end of the parking lot instead of hovering fro one in the first row can help. deffinatly watch this thanksgiving, think about what youre going to eat now, so youre not as tempted then, and when you want the 2nd piece of pie, just remember that 5lbs i hope this helps a bit!

well because i was in a sport it makes it a little easier to start with. but now that the sport is done with i think it will become a little more difficult. but im up for it :-)

yea! its kinda icky. i have chicken skin lol. it kindad freaks people out

so im thinking i have you all beat, im 17

i am trying to get a gym membership, my dad was going too put me on his plan but hes being a butthead about it. he stillhates that i had this done. I really dont care anymore thought :-)

just passed the 50lb lost mark, only 1lb from my next mini goal (be at 225). my next major goal is to be sub 200 by Januaray 1st. then the next is to be in at least a 14 by my graduation (June 1st, and subsiquently my brothers wedding is the next week)

I'm still here!

thanks judim
