Hey joeygirl! I'm more than sure we will do a NOvember one! Lol. Some of us *ME* need the accountability! OK all. I just did 30 minutes walking in place in front of my TV, using 2 pound softweights in my hands while I did different moves with my arms. Yay! Thanks to my bodybugg (they should pay me for advertising!) I know I have now burned all my calories for the day and almost have my 10,000 steps in for the day.

Thanks BG. Yeah, the Bugg was on... I'm tellin ya I don't take it off unless I'm in the shower! 3 calories during sex huh... Then I'm not going to rush off and break my celabacy kick. Lol! Hell, I burned 4-5 cal/min just folding my laundry! Speaking of the Bugg... I need to et some steps in... I'm only about 5000 steps in for the day... and I've eaten 103 calories too many. Argh!

Thanks for the ink comment. I forget about them, Lol. I currently have 4 tattoos... working on more - they're just so expensive!! As for the BB - you'll LOVE it if you like watching your numbers! I'm tellin ya, I ONLY take it off to shower, and I think I have separation anxiety then! Ha! As of right now I've gone over my daily calories by 24, and I still need to burn at least 248 more. Ugh. And I've taken less than 5000 steps today - you know what that means don't you...?? I'll be walking in place while watching TV here in a minute!

Ugh... OK, but don't laugh at me. Lol. I'm still fat and stuff. Ha! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f93/june-2007-bandsters-33199/index219.html Page 219, towards the bottom.

Thank you guys for the compliments, it is appreciated. Now, BigBaby - STOP!!! a PB is TOTALLY different than vomiting! WHen you PB just the junk in your throat comes out, but when you vomit your stomach contracts and stuff and you are risking your band slipping!!!

Hey, did'jall know there is a whole bicycle messege board out there? Just in case you were interesting in checking it out - Cycling Forums

I don't see much of a difference... but I can see a slight slimming in my face...

Lol, you are WAY too kind to me. Ohh, talked to Melvin for 2 minutes this morning. He called me just to say hello.. OMG. I'm so pathetic.

Yes, my best friend lives in Houston - and they have BAD drivers!!

Sweety - I'm so glad you're getting a Bugg! You'll LOVE it!!

120 minutes walking yesterday... and I've now exceeded my goal by 10 minutes! Yay!!

(sorry for multiple posts... just wanted to be all sad and rant that my freaking chicken that I have wanted ALL day is now stuck and making me miserable. )

Lol... notice the BodyBugg in the pics from yesterday? haha... Rhonda - maybe seeing my very awful fat pics will make you feel better about yours? Ha! You look great, btw.

OK, 56 pounds down.. I decided to do up some pics yesterday. I don't see a huge difference, but I can see a little bit... Be kind. Lol

I'll put them up on the june thread. You'll have to go there to look. Lol.

I had such withdrawls to this site that I called Miss Stef at home and bugged her - kept her from cleaning her house - for 2 hours. :car: (Sorry!!) But, having the site down did help me to get off'a my duff and get my ass outside to walk. Did 2 miles... then last night I went out with a friend to a corn maze, I'm not sure about the distance we walked then, but we were in there for like 1 1/2 hours. Fun fun. (Until she dragged me to Texas Roadhouse to eat and forced 1/2 cup of chili and 2 chicken strips down my throat!! Grr!)

Rhonda - You look great! - Yes, the site was off for EVERYONG ALL DAY YESTERDAY! Grrr!! Captain Dan - My port gets sore if I bend over to tie my shoes some days. Lol. ut I still have a ton of fat too. As for abs, I go to the gym and use a few different machines that don't require bending all the way over, and focus on abs.

Hello... Echo, echo, echooo.... So... everyone at work finally noticed my weightloss and congratulated me. At the time I was like "Yay, you noticed! Finally!" But today I'm SICK of it! They all seem to think that now they can talk about my weight and weightloss freely. They talk about it amongst themselves and around me. They are all proud of me (none know about the band though, they just see what I"m eating and know I exercise)... but I"m tired of it now. Just tell me I'm doing good, that I look good, and MOVE ON! Don't badger me about it and make fun of my fat free yogurts and my protein shakes. I've been eating/drinking like this for 4 1/2 months now!! GET OVER IT! Sorry. I'm all ranty and bad moody today. Then tonight I was cleaning out my computer and found a letter I wrote to my mom just 6 days before surgery. It was my 'what if' letter, telling her why I chose to not only have the lap band, but why I didn't tell her and I left her all of my info like life insurance and car payment stuff... all my bill stuff and links and passwords to my online diarys and this place and stuff like that. Also directions on what to do with my stuff, like my cats and teddy bear and clothes and just random things like my digital camera, my computer, my shoes, my books, TV, etc... etc... So depressing and it made me cry. Makes me wonder if I was willing to actually die in order to be thin. And for some reason my port has been hurting me? Bah. Hopefully its the full moon from last night that is killing my attitude...

So, I thought I'd start our very own NSV thread. For those who don't know, and NSV is a 'non-scale victory'. Sooo... I went to Starbucks earlier with a friend and had to put on 'real' clothes cause I couldn't wear shorts due to bending over to shave my legs is still painful. ANYWAY... I put on my 'fat' jeans that I had to buy last Fall cause NONE of my other jeans fit me, and they were falling OFF of me. I know I haven't lost much yet, and these jeans have always been a bit baggy, but I'm seriously thrilled that these huge super fat jeans are now too big to wear! They will be the first item of clothing I put in the 'Goodwill' box! I'm so excited!! :clap2:

If you got it on eBay you will NOT have the 3 month subscription and WILL have to pay $199 for your first 3 months... So, combining that with the cost of what you paid on eBay and it wasn't a good deal at all... considering if you'd got it on 24hourfitness.com you'd only paid a total of $229! (I know this cause I'd been looking on eBay for a while before I decided it wasn't worth it!) See if you can cancel your order, or return it.

Yes yes. MUCH cheaper!! Free shipping (exactly 7 days for mine!) and I only paid $229.20.

Guinea Pig?? Are you calling me a pig?!?!? Oink. Oink. OK. I HATE tracking foods and stuff... I had to do it with WW and then I tried it on sites like fitday and stuff... hated it! But the BB is different, I guess cause you can also see the calories to BURN. Its FUN to pun in everything i eat and then upload my calories burned and see the deficit!! I LOVE watching my steps to see that I make at least my 10,000 each day. I LOVE seeing how many calories I burn during weird things like giving a patient a bed bath, or passing my medications. Lol. Its so fun! I now take the stairs at work at least 2 days a week - down and then up! (I work on the 8th floor of a hospital) I even have a few co-workers who are taking the stairs with me! Of course I'm still fat and out of shape so I have to stop twice to catch my breath! ANyway... if the BB ever stops amazing me - or becomes a chore - I will let you know. All I know is that today it kept me from eating a Reeses PB cup cause I didn't know the calories for it and wouldn't h ave been able to log it in! Yay me! Yay BB!

OMG, Kat!! THats cool. I cna't wait to leave the doc office and not have OBESE listed as a 'medical condition.'
