Hmmm... I thought I replied to this already. Anyway, CONGRATS GIRL!! You are a rocking horse!

:tongue2: From clears to full on chicken. Nice. In two days no less.

Hey everyone, nice to see there is some activity here! :tongue2: Tuger and twinmommie I am adding you to the list. Good luck to all! ________________________________________________ Name...........Start Lbs...........Current..........Goal..To Go Brandy..............198..............198...............190........... .8 janesays............230..............230...............215..........1 5 LilMissDiva........253..............253...............244.......... 9 SanDiegoPhotog ..263..............191...............179..........12 Terilynn112..........224..............224...............200.........24 Tuger.................192...............192.............185.........7 twinmommie.........207..............207..............193..........14

I got the band because I've always had trouble with portion control. Exercise and eating right (most of the time) have never been hard for me. I've been doing that most of my life. I just eat too much! It has helped me a great deal, and I never have regretted my decision. I know how to cheat the band to a degree but I can't cheat myself. I know when I'm doing right and wrong. I needed to lose weight a great deal when I found out I was hypertensive. I am now on only a quarter of the HBP medicines I used to be on. My blood pressure has been excellent with such too, so I might be very close to being off them entirely! :thumbup: Good luck to all!

Hey New Year... no worries. I went through a really long bad spell. I'm finally breaking free from that! I've been waking up really early to make sure I'm doing my 5k at least 5 times per week, doing 30 Minutes of my Stationary Bike 5 times per week, Calisthenics 3 times per week and doing my best to eat good foods. Still not perfect on the eating thing but hey.. who is? Well just hang in there. It will happen... I've lost 2.4 Lbs. last week. Not bad! 1.4 Lbs more than I said I would. I'm going to change my goal every single week to make sure I'm losing at least one pound per week, so now my Bandiversary goal is to weigh 242.6 Lbs. Yay me! LOL

I don't playing by myself. ;o) I'm going to change my goal every week to make sure I'm losing a pound per week. I did pretty good last week, keeping up with the workouts. Am I finally out of my rut? I think so!! _______________________________________________ Name...........Start Lbs........Current..........Goal.....To Go LilMissDiva........253...............250.6..........242.6...........8

Been here & there. Just really busy getting my butt back to being a good little bandster... waking up at 3am and such to do my 5k (speed walking and jogging intermixed--but hey I'm doing it!). Cold? Nah... I live in Cali :tt2: See Above! :party: I'll try to come by more often, I know! But you see, when I come back even after 24 hours this thread is 5 more pages long! Very cute! I love babies! I've been hiding in my big shell... hehe See Above... glad to hear you are doing good! Anytime, that is what we are here for. :target: In reply to all the wonderful Holiday Wishes.. right back atcha! You all deserve a good and grand one. We've worked hard this past year, so enjoy yourselves for one day. :thumbup:

I hear ya Tara! Even though I have been it has not been easy. Especially with me being concentrating on the Holidays too. Well HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all.. xoxo

CC that is so nice! She sounds like a lovely person. How has everyone else been??

Aud, congrats on your successes so far! Isn't it just fantastic?? As for me and my new goal... doing great! :thumbup:

Hey Shiny you are doing so great! Keep it up and never let anything distract you from your goal and you will get there. Slow is better so never get frustrated either. I find that I have to do a little exercise of some type every single day to keep me motivated. Even taking a "day off" tends to lead to two or three or longer. That and weighing myself. If I don't do that I get easily distracted and I fall off course. I'm going to do this, I'm not worried, I just feel bad that I allowed myself to fall off the wagon - but I'm climbing back on and it's moving too! :biggrin:

Thanks and I really hope so!! I figure one pound per week is a great goal. If its more then awesome! I really hope its more... LOL
