Yes, the strawberry struesel! Thats what I had, It was really good! And the B trainer told me about the brownie - wish they'd have sent THAT as a sample!

I have teh Body Bugg and its freaking awesome! It comes with loads and loads of online features like different alarms, menues, neat lil bars and pie charts to show you where you've burned your calories - where your calories you've eaten come from (protein, carbs, fats...). The thing I like MOST is that you just wear it on your arm. No stupid chest strap. I don't think I could handle that - not when I'm working out and gettin all sweaty. You can get them cheaper than the $399 - just shop around! Its the end of the year, so deals galore. I got mine 3 weeks ago for $229. I did debate for a while on the BB vs. AT, but overall I liked the BB features better... I couldn't find enough data, or enough ppl who've tried the AT to prove to me that it was worth it.

BG - Soudns like you had too much fun!! I got my BodyBugg display watch the other day- LOVE IT. And ya know how I whined about not getting any cookie 'samples' with the BB? Well, this display watch came with 4 cookies and a fruit bar. The fruit bar was good... but the friggin cookie that I opened (white choc chip) smelled like cat food... I tasted it anyway... yeah. I swear its made out of cat food. Freaking nasty shit!

It is very weird... but thats just the way it is I guess. Like, I can eat bread (I don't though) but I can't eat a friggin salad to save my life - STUCK every single time! I can't eat eggs no matter how they are made - instant PB. Cottage cheese makes me slime every time. Now, that stuff is good for you! But I can still eat Ice Cream, cake and cookies...? I don't WANT to be able to eat that! :faint: Self control is hard, but its worth it. You might definitly need a fill though! I say go for it! If it ends up being too much then you can have it taken out.

good fat, bad fat... good carbs, bad carbs... It all still adds up.

OK - to the 7 people participating in the SS - You all should have a PM from me with address for everyone, and you are also assigned a person for which you are to be the SS for. DO ME A FAVOR - because I was just doing the copy/paste routine when I was sending those out, can you reply to that PM and confirm with me who your SS is?? I have them all marked in my notebook, I just want to make sure I changed it on each persons PM appropriatly. (Thank goodness there weren't more than 7 people participating!! Lol.):faint:

Walked 3.6 miles yesterday and today each. The BodyBugg is the greatest thing ever. I've had mine for 3 1/2 weeks... and just got the display watch today. It freaking ROCKS! Everyone should have one.

I got the little wrist display thingie yesterday. I LOVE it. Took it on my walk today and obsessively watched it. Then when I went to WalMart it beeped at me and said I had a msg! - I'd already done my targeted 10,000 steps for the day - and it was only 4pm!! I heart new toys.

DROP THE NUTS! Sure, they are full of protein... but they are FAT! Basically, the band does not stop some foods for some people. I can still eat Ice Cream (cause its melts) and I can eat as much chocolate and cookies and such as I want. Basically, those are my 'red flag' foods. I either don't buy them, or if I do it is in small quantities so I can't over-do it. Sounds to me like you are going to have to self-police the nuts for yourself. The band can't do it all for us... gosh darnit!!

Hello. I've been lurking these boards for a few weeks now. I have set up a consultation with the Weightloss Surgical Center in KS for May 9th. Here's the deal... I KNOW my insurence will pay for it, the question is HOW MUCH. I have BCBS of KC (for Federal employees). I would like to know if anyone here is from the KC MO/KS area that has BCBS, and what Center did the insurence cover? I would hate to pay $150 for my consultation at WTSC, just to find out they are 'out of network' or something. Could you please help me out with this? Thanks.

B - that was very cool. Thanks for sharing. My favorite line was "It's nice to get credit just for existing."

OMG same way at my hospital! We have a 'service' elevator that isn't quite as busy, but housekeeping and maintainence seem to think it belongs only to them. :bananalama::bananalama::bananalama::bananalama::bananalama::bananalama: I love that banana on the ... llama?

THat restriction may stay with you!! WHen I got my last fill in Sept I never thought it would stay! I was lik 'omg, i'm gonna have to come get this done every 4 weeks for the rest of my life.' But it's totally stayed. Keep the faith! You might be surprized!!

right out of bed in the morning I'm averaging 600-700 calories burned, that is at 6am, so only 6 hours into the day. I love my bugg. I've had it for almost 3 weeks and I still sleep with it. My target to hit is 3250... which I mostly find to be fairly easy.

I have been climbing the stair at my job - (8 flights) - 2 times a day minimum... I only use the elevator if I'm transporting a patient, or first thing in the morning, cause I"m always running late. Lol. I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my stamina. I only hav eto stop once now, usually between 4th and 5th floors. Its awesome. :update: {{{{{ALL--- I will work on getting the SS sorted out on Saturday... I promise. Included will be adresses for all so that you can do Christmas Cards. Any others wanna play?}}}}}

Ohhhhh! This thread is like a soap opera!!

:hug: Heather!!!!!!!!!! So glad to see you back posting! I missed you! I'm glad your band is finally working for you, it was a little stubburn wasn't it? I know what you mean about being where you need to be and cancelling your appt, I just cancelled my appt for tomorrow! I feel like I was very lucky to get my sweet spot after 3 fills, I've been holding this one for 8 weeks now... I'm hoping it lasts for a while! - - ANYWAY, its great to see you back here! Congrats on the 10 pounds!!

I'm flying out of KC.

Sometimes I find that it helps to mute her and turn up the stereo.

For my family Thanksgiving isn't so much about the food - sure we all love it!!! - but we come together because we love each other and we visit and play games for 4 days. I KNOW I can't eat like I used to - and I'm THANKFUL for that this year... but I would never just not go...
