found one 4 ya

happy 28th to be

i like their coffee

thanks for sharing bandy

in the a.m., i am tight (not hungry is a way to describe) if i am stressed, i am also on the (tight) side....and around my TOM.. ole man asked me what i meant by tight one day (after i got him out of gutter) and i said i just feel full/not hungry...

......i can bring cheese.......me luvs cheese but no fish

eating 2 pieces of candy is not bad and certainly did not wreck your (diet). you are not dieting...so what, hope it was good...your eating better foods far outweighs a slight (step back) and in my eyes, eating is not bad.. so do better now cant take it back.... on ward dasher/prancer and vixon and newlife......

are you having to buy smaller clothes? are you more mobile (sounds as if you are by your excellent workouts/progress)...if you are losing inches, you are losing true/exact weight no matter what the scale says or doesnt say....stay the course, it will catch up... PS 3500 calories is a pound..ate or drank...so we if take in more cals then we burn off, we wont loss and may gain (no matter what WLS one has).. sounds to me you are doing a GREAT JOB.

every ten pounds down, hub sends me flowers at work myself,i celebrate looking in the mirror and say to myself, you go girl.

eat to lose weight...you are not dieting....you have changed your life and this is your new life...eat your allotted amounts (Protein always first) veggies/fruit and exercise..and always remember, to lose weight, you must eat more calories than you burn off (no matter what WLS you have or fill or no fill)....3500 calories is a pound ate or drank... dont set your set up in a diet mindset..there is not a set time limit for you to lose all your weight and get to where you want to be..could be in feb or next christmas...does it matter when you get there as long as you get there safely and healthy?? its a day in and day out process...you are nearly done with the hard part (the pre/post op liquids)....dont stop now.

thats funny

Even solid foods like chips, crackers, lasagna qualify as slider foods. It's not that we shouldn't eat them, it's OK to eat them, we just need to make sure their calories are counted towards our daily goal. i agree.......we are not dieting......merely making better choices and letting the band say when...

never been a celery girl.......and if i ate veggie soup, it was left in bowl

best of luck to you

i think one can be super morbid obese and not hardly move.. that was me 17 months again..i am now considered (obese or morbid obese) but i am fitter (i do step aerobics)..so i think one can be fat and fit...i am... and getting fitter and less fatter every day

so if you lose 100 pounds, he will stay? and if you lose 10 pounds you will be sexy to him again? what if your foot gets cut off by a chain saw is he gonna leave you?...or your 2 front teeth fall out? will he leave then? sounds like an ass to me....and a coward to tell you all this via email... stop crying get back on track and hold your damn head up high/proud and get healthy...for you...NOT anyone else. go on vacation and have a GREAT time put on sexy clothes, work a killer attitude and i bet anything he will be all lovey dovey and if he aint, his LOSS not yours.

It's all me to. I know I can be putting in a better effort to eat right. I need to get moving too! I'll be patient...besides I keep telling myself this is not I diet it's my new life. this is right...its not dieting its changing what we eat and moving you got a great attitude..dont make me hunt you down woman,,,,

i dont believe in will power...i can will myself into anything..but i do have want power..i wanted to have this surgery bad enough to do anything/everything i had to in order to have it..if you want it, do it.. i could hardly wipe my butt and my son told me i was going to be a grandmother....i couldnt have even walked her down my hallway much less around the block in her stroller..those were my 2 motivations...i was as wide as i am tall....WAS...... pre op is hard....dangum hard....but it is doable..stay busy, clean the house, go shopping, call your friends, read this forum for support.....read, walk, take a bath, have sex,,,,,occupy your mind.....you wont starve trust me...and when you finally have your surgery, you will be on here telling people the same thing i am telling you now....hang in there..

i had surgery on a wed morning...went home thursday late afternoon... and took off a total of 8 days.....(i sit at a desk all day at work)......i was glad to have that time off..i agree with the others..depends on you, your job and how you are feeling....listen to your body and be smart/safe.

sorry to read this donna this is for you:

just wanted to say that seeing all the pretty trees, made me smile
