guns n roses

Hi again everyone. I haven't posted in a long time. Thought i could do this on my own. But I'm soooo glad i can come back here for support. I had gotten pretty discourage because i wasn't dropping 15lbs/month like March and April. Just reading how alot of you are feeling the same way has let me know that I am not alone. I have continued my exercise but have slacked off alot with the diet. I eat bread sometimes now. I'm so glad I came on and read July posts. I can keep up with my 17 year old d/d on the tennis courts for an hour now. HA. Down 50 lbs but it's so S L O W anymore.

My gosh, I laughed your dog. :funnypost: What kind of noise? and why is it making it? Had my first fill today.

LOL:cool: :fish: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Heya Marchies, Getting my first fill today so last night I went completely off my diet and ate a hamburger! I don't even like them-but I had to be defiant. And 5 sugar free cookies. And still didn't go over 950 calories And I am not exercising today. I think I'm treating myself and actually all I feel is guilt. Guess I'm getting trained into this new Healthy Lifestyle. Hope y'all have a healthy day.

I can see you just had your surgury and have been on this forum for a year. You obviously have learned alot prior to getting banded. 10 days out and you are doing the exercise and water (I did too) Good for you:clap2: . You are getting your first fill pretty early compared to the rest of us? Keep up the good work.

Nice to see new names: Thickchicktexas, My5grlz,Snowangel, KuebulJ, - For those of you not losing I can relate. After a few weeks when that scale wasn't moving anymore and I thought I was doing everything right--I buckled down. For more that a week I've been doing 800cals/40 min Cardio + other stuff and i was losing a pound a Day. Now guess what, The scale has not moved in the last 2 days. What I have learned is how to eat better, count calories and protein, stay away from sugar, bread and all drinks but water and sometimes for the sugar Jones-Crystal Lite. I come on this site for info and encouragement and feel the responsibilty to keep on track like most of these bandsters--Just Keep Doing the Right Thing. TammyJ: sounds like the warm stuff was going down a little smoother that the cold stuff. Get my fill on Thurs so that's good to know.

What a happy sounding group today:D . Is it because it's spring?...Is it because we are not getting sick anymore?...OR is it because..........WE ARE LOSING WEIGHT:clap2: . that's the one tu tammyj for the incentives. I wish I knew how to cut and paste. Duh:embarassed: . I even did one of those tickers but can't figure out how to move it. Oh well. 45 min cardio 10 stretching 06 crunches. 31 LBS-see ya. Good Day Y'all--Chris

DEMSVMEJM: All that heavy duty work in one day!! If you go over to Fitday.com you will see that you burned about 9,000,000 calories:biggrin1: I also see that you are nicotine free? I didn't do it. I spoke with Forked-tongue to the med. folks. Good for you.

Hey All. I just got that Marching band. Duh. Very cute. Well, we will have 31 days to use Marching in May and then time to change it again. "Marching into Bikinis":embarassed: "The Marching Bandsters":biggrin1: "Marching to Size 8";) Although 12 is fine with me. I was an 8 when I was 8. Reprogrammed my daughters old I POD yesterday, so I was rocking on the eleptical this morning. TammyJ: I did 4 mini crunches this morn. One more each day. It would not be on my "TO DO" list, if I didn't see it here.

NURSEAMY; You had a fill 3 weeks ago?? WOW. You'll be getting your second fill when most of us seem to getting our FIRST FILL. I Guess you shall be our guru. Down to 229 this AM. I was 236LBS.. only 8 Days ago. So it seems my 800 calories/day was paying off. That FITDAY.COM and journaling my calories seems to hold me accountable. Kyethra; My mini goal is also 220 by 5/20--family function. Hope ya'll have a lovely low-cal day.

SOMETHING CRUNCHY? :hungry: I remember that feeling. A peeled apple was the trick for me. Not only did it help with that CRUNCH CRUNCH desire, it also helped with the sweets craving. I had some Golden Apples-they were very sweet. I didn't want to TEST eating the skin so the deer benefited from that. Going to NY huh? I'm in NY--I'll see if I can figure out how to send a private message to ya.

TammyJ: I recall something about 6 wks. I'm so focused on the cardio and stretching right now that I don't want to do too much on the crunches till I see the Dr. next week. I did do the MINI's today.

LF Cottage cheese, natural applesauce, FF yogurt, protein shakes, Healthy Choice Fudge bars, Fat free pudding, sugarfree jello, Stage 1 Baby Food-fruits, chewable vitamins, humus, low fat rigotta cheese. These things gave me plenty of choices, hope it helps you too. Welcome.
