Welsome to the Challenge Sheila! Insub... hang in there.. What goes up MUST come down! Its the law of physics!!!

OK... I think we all did great this month! Can you believe its over already!?!?!? MM, are you going to start the November thread, or do you want to just continue on this one?

candy is evil.

I lost 7.5 pounds in my first 8 days of using the BB!! I think its an amazing, motivating tool!

Exercise?? Lol. Well, thanks to my BodyBugg I'm moving mroe now... so thats good. When I go to the gym I'm lil miss Elliptical girl. I do anywhere from 60-90 minutes there... or days like today (trying to soak up the last bits of Fall) I went for a 2.2 mile walk.

No need to feel bad! Lol. Like I said, I don't need anything... Oh... and wouldn't it be fun if everyone takes a picture of themselves with their present? I like pictures..

(Pssst: My Ticker moved again.)

Wow!! I stepped on the scales this morning and it said 320. I was like NO WAY! SO I stepped on it again... 322.7 ... then again... 321.2 ... Ugh. SO I waited 20 minutes and did it again and got 322.5 - Dangit! I'll take it! I just weighed 326 on Friday! I can't believe I've lost 3.5 pounds is 5 days!

I've been a sloth for 2 days now... But I'm off work today and feeling restless, so I suspect I shall go for a walk.

Hey all. I don't mind at all compiling a list of addresses and such for christmas cards. I'll include myself there, cause I LOVE getting non-bill mail. Lol. So whenever your ready, PM me your info... When I get everyone I will distribute... Oh yeah, gimme a # of peole participating. Lol. So I don't strike too soon and leave someone out.

My scale has me down to 322 today... I was 326 on Saturday... this freaking Bugg is just MELTING the weight off of me!

WAYNE BRADY!! Lol. I love him. OK BeckieT! I can't believe the Riviera is that expensive. I think when I stayed there 2 years ago it was only lik $60-something per night... Wow... Maybe its just that time of year it costs more. I'll check around too and see what I can find. If more people don't become ACTIVE about this Vegas thing then I;m not sure what'll happen. I'm DEFINITLY interested... APRIL 7,8, and 9 work GREAT for me... Or well, really anytime works, Lol. I say that unless someone that wants to go just ABSOLUTELY cannot make it those days that we set that right now. Once we get the date nailed down we'll be great and things will start rolling. And, hey... I know that April seems far away right now, but with the HOlidays and everything it will be here BEFORE YOU KNOW IT! So come on, pen in that date, and we'll work on a location and (hopefully!) a show or a grand canyon tour we can all participate in together!! I say we make the MOST of our new bodies and PARTY! (Trying to motivate ya'll... is it working, is it just annoying? Lol!!)

I just had my first session with the bodybugg coach. Lol. When she called I already knew nearly everything she wanted to cover since I've had it for a week. yay!! Since my average burned calories is WAY above my target (target is 2700, I burn average 3450) she increased my target to 3450... which by default increased my calorie intake to 1950. I'm totally NOT eating that much!! I just kinda laughed it off. OMG guys. I can't let myself eat nearly 2000 cals. I don't care what she says. I'm sure I'll get yelled at next week on our 2nd phone call... Right now I average 1100 cals, and my goal was to reach 1200. But tehre are days when I cna't eat, and I'm happy with 600. ANYWAY.. Thanks for the compliments on my pictures. Its always harder to see a change in yourself. I think even when I'm at goal that I will still see myself as a fat person. It's very weird.

3500 cals = 1 pound. (roughly) Damn, wouldn't that be nice if every 500 cals was a pound? lol.

OMG Stef! Can I borrow your husband? I want a BIKE! Wahhhh!! OK, I'm totally LOVING the BodyBugg converts here!It truely is an awesoem toy, er, um... tool.

The only sample I got was a friggin strawberry strudle abr. Hard as a rock. I WANT MORE SAMPLES!!! I'm going to write an angry email... YOU TOO WITH THE SAMPLE COOKIES?!?!?! WAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Lol. Isn't it awesome to see that deficit!?!?! Yay!

OK guys - had a ROUGH morning at work - all I can really say is that I now know that running up and down the hallways at work grabbing a crashcart and then doing CPR for 20 minutes really BURNS up them calories!! (Yes the guy is still alive... but they don't expect them to make it more than a day or so) ... is it sick and morbid that all day I was anxious to get home and see the calories burned while I did compressions and stuff?? I'm sick.

Insub, thanks for the compliments!!

Hot dogs and cheese and fudge - Oh My! Stef, thats GREAT!! Sometimes i feel like I could run.... but I don't dare. Lol. As far as the secret santa thing goes, I'll be in charge of that since I just kinda jumped in on ya'lls party here... you can all PM me with your info and what-not and i'll divide it up... I don't need anything anyway (Unless someone really wants to give me a bike??)

Hmmm, did you order the wrist watch part too? Cause that could be why it hasn't processed, Everyone is OUT of those! Try to just cancel your order, and place it again for JUST the Bugg. I got a confirmation email immediatly and then an email the next day with the UPS tracking number...

Holli!! You look GREAT!!

Oh Rhonda! That SUCKS!!! Wahhhh!!

Well Kee.... Do you LOVE it?!?!?

And to think I"ve just been calling mine "Bugg"... how unoriginal of me! But I did name my lapband "Stella" as in 'How Stella got her groove back.' Happy Monday all!

Phyllser - I know what you mean about being addicted to this site! No one in my 'rea' life knows what I'm going through like the peolpe here do! I totally missed this place yesterday!! Derbygirl - How much weight do you/did you have to lose? When I get to my goal I will have lost 222... so I DO understand about the pannus and the whole not fitting in on some of the threads around here.
