It did but the kids sold it to get a game . I think I'm gonna move the DVD player to the garage/gym and break out my exercise DVDs Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I do like walking and really want to get myself to where I can run. There's actually a 5K in my town next month that I want to do. I walked it last year and would like to run it this year but its a good day if I'm able to run half a mile straight . He did it to me again a little while ago. I did go out and do an hour in the elliptical and he asked me if I exercised I said yes I did an hour on the elliptical his response was "that's it? Why? Kinda weak wasn't it?" I told him that's all I felt like doing, he seemed like he got mad. Before that I was feeling pretty good with myself that I even went out and did the hour Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

LOL! Maybe I need to trade my Tahoe in for a convertible because having the sun shine on me with the wind blowing thru my hair really sounds nice right now Lately I feel like I don't have time for my happy things because I feel like I'm exercising. Although I do realize that I only exercise an hour or so and there are so many more hours I'm the day........ I guess I should stop whining and making excuses. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I've thought about Zumba but I've been kinda embarrassed to try it I used to have a Wii with a bunch of workouts and a few months ago I sold it because my kids wanted a new Xbox game and as usual I put them before myself. It's really starting to feel like a chore and I hate that feeling because I do enjoy it most of the time. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Yea I feel like that sometimes. It's gets really aggravating but I think it's his way of "helping" me and being "supportive" Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm not saying that I don't like to exercise becuause I do enjoy it but it seems/feels like my life revolves around exercising and food. How do you get past that feeling? Do you ever get past that feeling? I'm so tired (and bored), exercising is supposed to be fun and give you more energy isn't it. I exercise 5-7 days a week for an hour or an hour and half..... if I do anything less my husband says "that was kinda weak wasn't it?" I feel like if I don't exercise that long that I didn't really do anything. I'm finding myself dreading going out to the garage/gym. It really seems like that is what my life conists of and thinking about food. These past few weeks I realized that I was eating it seemed like all day long (even though I wasnt hungry) so I started setting the timer on my phone to make myself wait at least 4hrs between meals. I can't stay out of the kitchen, I'm always opening the fridge or the pantry and just looking. I check the timer on my phone several times to see how much time is left until my next meal. I hate being home all day but if I stay gone my husband is always asking me "when are you gonna get your exercise in?" I almost feel like I am losing it. I know I should be grateful that I have that much time to exercise and I probably shouldn't feel this way because alot of people simply don't have that much time in their day to exercise. there's always so many other things that I want to do during the day but by the time I get my exercise in (and get all my other chores done) I don't have time to start anything else. I don't know Maybe I'm just having a "poor me" day. I hate feeling this way.

If you're still loosing weight I would buy some ring guards/sizers and use those until you reach your goal. That way you don't have to keep putting money out to have a Jeweler size them. You can buy clear rubber ones at Walmart in the jewelry dept. or at the mall at like Claire's or The Icing or Charming Charlie Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I don't know that it was easier for me to ear more after drinking but I did find myself on a few occasions over eating after having too much to drink and Yes be careful with beer!.... as my band got tighter it got to where I can't drink beer anymore because it just foams up and comes back out so I stick to wine now....... sure wish there was a bud light lime flavored wine

I have that problem also, and I agree with all the advice everyone above I am missing 2 bottom teeth on each side, So I stay away from beef or pork (I don't really like beef or pork anyway so that is a good thing LOL!) I've gotten to where I don't eat much chicken anymore either unless it's chicken salad I should go get a partial but being a mom I always put hubs and kids first and me last

Praying! and keeping fingers crossed!

I've only been on here for a little while but I have noticed lately that there have been some people that have just been down right rude and angry with someone after they post a response to a question that was asked. It has almost made me scared to even answer any question or give any advice IF I happen to have any I agree If you don't want an answer OR if you only want the answer that YOU want to hear then don't ask it. I for one have gotten alot and learned alot from reading every one's answers to questions that have been asked on here. I have yet to come across someone on here that has reached their goal or that is close to their goal that "thinks they are all that" I think it is really sad that people would "attack" someone for their success and for trying to help others with what they have learned thru their weight loss journey. Why can't we all just get along We have all started or are starting in the same place as everyone else, which is what has brought all of us here together.
