Well I almost didn't make it to 3 workouts this second week. It was tough but thank goodness I did it. As for food this week I wasn't has good as last week. So I was on my period- that shouldn't matter-right?? I mean after all this is supposed to be NO EXCUSES-Right?! I was very dissappointed to see that I actually gained 1 pound this week. I am very bummed but refuse to give in. I was so depressed that the fridg almost got the best of me. I say almost b/c I thought about SARGE & what he would have said. So I got out the tape measure & WHOOO HOOT !! I lost 3/4 of an inch under my bust. One & 1/2 inches from my waist 1/2 inch from my right thigh!!! So the scale might not be my friend but eventually the tape measurer will be:0) On to week 3!

Ok everyone, I just caught the last min of the 20/20 interview w/Star Jones. All I caught was that she said her husband wasn't gay & that the ?? offened them both. What I wanted to know was: Did they mention anything about her weight loss & anything about surgery? Did anyone hear anything?

Great NSV! Just wait till your pants start falling off! LOL LOL

Wonderful job on the weight loss!

Sounds to me like everyone has already given you the BEST advise. I was always told by my doc & others to hold off on a fill for has long as possible. Its GREAT that your losing & has long has its over .5 per week, your doing Fantastic! Postpone the fill till its necessary. Great Job!

THIS ROCKS!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sister - who is so tiny, eats cereal sometimes for dinner & she does great on it. Good luck!

Well after reading your last sentence. "which I DEFINATLY do not want to be pregnant.." I say call your Doc & your GYN immediately! Your also right that you shouldn't get pregnant right after surgery but that seems to be the least of the worries right now. Call your Doctors & discuss your options. I hope everything turns out the way you want it to. Good Luck!

Has anyone owned or used a TOTAL GYM (Norris endorsement)? Or at least something that is like it? What did you think about it & do you recommend them? I am considering one.

LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!! Hey Keri- do you remember the site?

THank Goodness!! I am VERY happy you didn't lose your band. I wish you continued healing & from now on no more pbs!! I believe your weight loss will be even better in the months to come!

"Attitude is the first part of an important formula for victory that I've come to call the ASK principle- Attitude, Skills, Knowledge... Think about it. Your attitude affects everything you do. And where does your attitude form? In your mind- the greatest battlefield you'll ever enter. Don't allow the enemy to feed lies into your mind, telling you that you can't do something you've been called to do. Instead, believe that you can do anything! So how are your New Year resolutions coming along? Do you need an attitude check, more skills or knowledge? An old Chinese proverb states, "A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step." Get up and get going- having a quiet time, a prayer time, some exercise, reading a book instead of watching television. Me personally, I ask GOD for my strenght & conviction to succeed! Keep it up everyone!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

So how is that video coming along! Just do it Girlie! I am right behind you! GO PENNI!!!!!

Same here BUT I recieve TWO FULL Years from Dr.Pleatman & he even has said that depending on how often I go see him he won't necessarily hold me to an exact date>I paid $12,500. Its great!

Eileen- Thanks I appreciate it very much! I do hope to use it for pilates has well. My girlfriend lended me her Windsor pilates tapes & I want to start using them at the lasted next week.

Wonderful news!!! Tell him we all wish him good healing & good health!

I agree. I currently have a treadmill that I love using. As to space I have an entire basement strickly for working out. Its right next to the bar(lOL LOL LOL ) But there is not a tremendous amount of roon left b/c I like having space for stretching & areobics. The total gym would fit nicely but I really did want to try one before I buy one. I would love to bid on a upscale model on ebay. I am prepared to spend a fairly large amount but $1600.00 is out of the question. thats what they are bran new on TV.

Kelly, Way to keep positive Kelly!!! You right by saying your doing better than last week, so keep it up! Cheri - great job at knowing your weakness at night so you can combate it! Good work. Penni & LaMadam - What an AWESOME job on the Water intake!! Holy cow! Also Penni - I am so happy the Nutrisystem food is working out, my neighbor is starting on it this week also. I told her about you:0) Well its day two of week two & I still haven't worked out so it will be Tuesday- Wednesday & Thurs & Fri for me. Just got too busy- but I made smart food choices & did go to PT today & worked out some. Great Job Ladies.

NJchick----Can you tell me the model number you all got & what the name was. I am more than 75% sure I am getting one now. But will still need more research.

Thanks for the input:: I just purchased a Weider that was supposed to be the bowflex equivalent. But it is too difficult to constantly change all the straps & wires. Plus I find the wire stability very challenging & not a level I can do very well at this stage. You said a mouth full about "things only work when you use them" so true so true!!! The stair master, unfortunately makes my toes go numb everytime. So my physical Therapist said something like the Total Gym may be very good for me. I won't buy one though untill I get enough feedback & know for sure. Thanks for the suggestions.
