hey Juli, Well, I am finishing up some work getting ready for my trip, and than I am off to florida on sat... I was excited...we went to a store called Goodys today..Leslee had birthday money....and I bought my first pair of HIP jeans.....they are so cool.....they botton, have pockets and everything. I had tried some on last night in the same size, but they wouldnt work...my goal is to get in a pair of Levi's...my all time favorite from the past... WOOHOOO On a diffrent note...my 19 year old was home today...OH my...I feel so bad for her. I am giving her my clothes....she has put on so much weight...she is in school full time with 18 credit hours and working 40 hours a week...living on her own, and eating awful. She has been asking about the lapband but honestly I dont know if they would cover her with her age, etc. She needs to try and work this out...I hate seeing her this big..it is so sad...and I know what it is like... But anyway....

hey My name is Traci, and I have been where you are, and it truly sucks ass. In Feb and March of this year I was the same way. It killed me to get up and get off the couch. I would rather of stayed in bed than I would walk around the house. The more I didnt want to do anything, the more I gorged on food. I drank over 24 Mt dews a week, fountain drinks every single day...32 o's...and just really didnt care becuase what the heck, I was already fat, what was a few more bites or one more drink??? I started my weight loss journey In April. Got approved and was within 1 month away from surgery....I was sooooo ready. The start of May I bought a single speed bike from Walmart, and started riding 2-3 miles. Damn, it use to just kill me..... Once I was approved, I went in for my surgery consult, and immediatly started the liquid diet....DAMN...that was the hardest thing.....I cheated, but not in big ways...Like I would have some lunch meat or something...but no huge things. My surgery went so well, and I was determend to make this work. At first there is not real tightness in the band, so it is definatly will power to stay motivated. The first few months I lost 10-13 lbs each month. The past few, I am down to 6-8. It stinks. I started cyclying more, and bought a hybrid bike with gears, and have been riding usually on the weekends anywhere from 15 miles to 42. I just completed my first 40 mile ride last weekend.... Some days it seems like it is harder than others, and I slip and drink a soft drink or 2, or eat something I shouldnt...but............. Last night I was able to go into a NORMAL store and buy a dress.... It was a awesome feeling and wonderful motivator. Dont give up on yourself......Just know that it is normal to eat allot before the procedure is done, it is what they call last supper syndrome, and allot of people do it everyday until there surgery. IT IS NORMAL> As far as being tired....that will get better....try walking just a little....any little bit will make you feel so much better....and soon, you will be walking miles. Please feel free to PM me, or email me any time if you would like to talk. I am from Indiana... Traci

B....It would stink to have to do homework on a weekend....But it will serve you well. Looks like my riding for today is going to have to wait...my husband wasnt feeling well this morning, so he slept in, and I had already given dogs a bath, and did 2 loads of clothes before he even got up....LOL Anyway...grocery store here I come..woowhhooooo...NOT My oldest is coming in today as well as she is having issues with her car....fun stuff.

i NOTICED YOU CHANGED YOUR TICKER TOO......YOUR TURTLE IS GOING TO TAKE OFF AND RUN LIKE HELL TO THE END....

No WAY JC....GOOD FOR YOU...HOW WAS IT??? ARE YOU GLAD YOU WENT???

I went riding after work for a short time, and than went shopping for some clothes for my trip. I will only say this here, and because we all have been there at one time...but... i was in a size 30/32 last fall and winter......I bought a size 22 dress pant and size 22 dress shirt tonight and went to Maurices for the very very first time, and came out with a DRESS....YES ME!!!!! Of course I had tried button jeans in that size and they didnt work...but I even bought Bra's that show cleavage and actually give me my youthful top again...LOL It was amazing....I cant wait to keep going to places and buying stuff that actually looks decent....and not frumpy... What a good motivation!!!! Just wanted to brag....

wooohoooooooooooo!!!!!! congrats juli!!!! keep up the good work!!!!

Hi D and B... I am home this evening as well. Working saturday so I can get some extra time in and also get some boards done prior to me leaving on my trip to florida. cant beleive in 1 week I will be leaving on a plane to Orlando...WOHOOOO Sure wish my husband was going, but it will be cool. I am planning on riding sometime tommorow, and we are riding on Sunday. We have a ride kinda planned but not paid for yet, and we may just ride around the lake instead....cost less too...LOL B. glad you got a fill, dont excpect miracles on the first few...I am on my 4th and just now starting to feel some restriction. I am glad you made a responsible choice for your family...I bet it sucked though...OUCH. D...glad to read you are looking for some fun over the weekend...and they say we get boring as we get older..LOL

and the smell is growing sooooo badly!!!! JC....you must be made of cash...good grief.....now a new 4 wheeler??? LOL

way to go staci...excellent loss this week. you realize how close you are to wonderland>>>>>> WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

JC So what is it like??? Is it easy to get use to?? What kind of pedals do you have?? you know, if I could stay longer I would take you up on a ride and rent a bike in a few weeks...but o well...

I looked into getting one of those types of bikes. The landrider. We researched it and chose to start with a hybrid bike and take the hills slow, and build our strength. I still have issues with hills, but am getting so much stronger the longer I do them. It isnt always about how fast you get there, just that you get there. I walked a whole bunch of hills when I first started, now I can get up the ones I struggled with 2 and 3 months ago. I am planning on upgrading to a road bike too...just not right now. Good luck with your shopping....what kind were you looking for if you dont mind my asking??? Got my fill today...he added another 1cc....we will see.He was pleased with my loss, and my riding, so as long as I am loosing I a happy.. D....I bet you were in heaven on the bike..that is just wonderful... Well...I am late getting home, so I am going to get ready for bed. See ya all later
