<p>Good morning everyone!</p> <p>Yesterday the A/C was broke at work, so I did what I had to do and then came home. Was doing some house cleaning and I bnt over to pick up a papertowel....WHAM, I strained a neck muscle OOWWIIIEEEE!!!</p> <p>Now I am sitting here with my neck and shoulder killing me. So, I am going into work late because I am going to my Chiro's office and sit there until he can see me. Weird how the slightest wrong movement can knock you on your a$$.</p> <p>Take care everyone and wish me luck at the Dr office...</p>

You should be very Proud of yourself!!<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> Welcome to the shrinking violets board!!</p></p>

I am so proud of all of you that are going out and busting your buns at gyms (or where ever)...that is totally awesome. I don't know what my problem is to be quite honest...well, yes I do, extreme laziness. I guess I have been waiting for the exercise fairy to come drag my ass outta bed, but we all know that is not gonna happen. I will just have to depend on good old fashioned will power and make myself take the plung. Sometimes I think my will power is just all being used up just on the "not eating junk" part....dear Lord, here come the excuses again....sorry

Good morning Violets- So, another day another dollar....ugh. Judy....thanks for noticing (smoochsmoochsmooch...muuuuah) lol Congrats on the gym joining Tracy....have FUN with it. Jenn-good luck with everything Everyone have a great day!!!

I very rarely am at a loss for words...but I am in just a "blah" mood this evening. Mondays suck....thank goodness the work day part is over. I will be glad when someone that does not know I have the band says something to me about my weight loss. When someone does, I think I will jump on whoever it is smother them with kisses When that happens, I will know that I gave up hamburgers for a good reason....

Good Monday morning violets- Everyone have a great day!! Jenn-So we are about the same goal wise...cool! That is a little extra incentive for me. But seems that you are a exercise queen, so you will probably beat me!! I think that is fantastic! So you are at 226 too? What is your goal weight? I am off to work...

<p>Jenn-I am like you about the bread thing. I miss it so much, but I do not want to think it is OK because then, katy-bar-the-door....</p> <p>I never really thought I ate that much of it before, now, I know it was a major part of my food intake. I am just trying to find something to replace a sandwich with and I have not found anything yet. I tried chicken wings too..OMG I was in heaven. It is hard to stop eating them though once I start. I have just seen myself getting caught into a rut eating the same old tired stuff over & over and i am scared to branch out into the "unknown".</p> OMG....i just looked at my own ticker and realized I am almost half way there!! woohooo

Has anyone tried to eat bread (toast, bagel, anything?)

banded 4/11/07 total loss since January is 43 pounds 31 since the band 1.5 cc Hi violets- I am now the official owner of...a bathing suit!! After 22 years (at least) my mom drug me out yesterday and she bought it for me. They now have an above ground pool and she knows how self conscious I am. I tried on the 18 and it FIT. Don't get me wrong, I could have probably fit into a 20 better, but the 18 fit and I knew that I would be lsoing more weight, so I did it....got into my "little" suit and got into the pool. I am so proud because when I put it on and looked in the mirror, I was not disgusted. Great feeling. Judy, congrats on seeing your friend again!! too funny!!! Jenn-I agree, June will be our month!!

Jen-yay!!! Believe me I know how happy you are. woohooo you!

Good morning violets!! I am down 2 more pounds!! woohooo! YAY ME!!! I don't have the strength this morning to mess with my ticker, so I will just do it later. I have had to redo that ticker so many times that I probably have about 50 passwords. Gina-I always have a problem with eggs. I don't know why. Denise-If I tried doing that zumba, they would have to call 911 for me. Laura-OMG whata gorgeous ring. TracyKS-yay for your restriction!! You know, we need about 1 or 2 more tracys in here to really confuse things. Talk about confusing someone enough for someone to go postal! You are looking great though. Susan-EEK!! If I lost weight in my boobies I would have to resort to a training bra or bandaids. Have a great day everyone. 269/257/226 today

LOL Judy...I like to put a pair of the old twelves and and watch them drop to the floor....

Good morning everyone!! I am still stuck at 228...that bites. But, I would rather stand still than to gain. I am still "full of it"...tmi for you all I am sure, sorry. But I know I am going to drop the pounds once I get some fiber sure in my system Laura-what a beautiful dress and shoes!! You must be SO excited! TracyKS-you crack me up!! I have the batwing thing going too. I have a phobia of short sleeves. Pam-The 5 lbs is probably water weight, so don't sweat it....well, actually, do sweat it...lol then, no more problem!! Take care & have a great day everyone!!! TGIF!!!!!!!

Jenn-not to sound dumb...but wtf is a pepperchini?

Thanks for the info Jenn...I don' think I would be able to handle it if it was yuck (as my DD calls it) ard-you are doing wonderfully too!!

Janie-congrats on your 3cc!!! Let us know how the restriction is!! Laura-Thank you for the compliment!! I have been having good restriction except for the past 2 days. Today at work they had pork steaks (probably not as good as Tracys) and I could have eaten the whole pig!! I am worried about too much of a fill because of meds not going down, but I do not want to be hungry all the time either.....

I would have given anything at that age (if they would have had it back then) to get the band. Yes, it is difficult to adjust your lifestyle once you get the band, BUT...not near as difficult as getting over the way I got treated in high school by my peers. You go through life thinking you aren't good enough...

<p><p>Thanks ladies...I can tell a difference in my face and in my clothes finally!! Great feeling, isn't it? Now if I can just get off my lazy a** and exercise! My excuse so far is a full time job and a 4 year old daughter. But that excuse doesn't really work because her day care has a gym for parents in it <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="5" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p>Everyone have a great day!!! I will check in later...</p> <p>(like Jerry Springer says-"until then take care of yourselves, and each other")<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /></p></p> <p>Jen-Thanks for the reminder of fiber sure. I need to get some because, well, I am full of it!! LOL</p>

<p>I DID IT!!!! The one on the left is from February and the one on the right is now.</p> I have to do somethng with that hair.....geeeeesh!!!

Here are 2 pics...the may be as an attachment. here goes...

<p>Margi-It sounds like you probably do need another fill. I had my first one 2 weeks ago and I am still getting decent restriction. Hope it all works out for you!!</p> TracyKS-Pork steaks....yummmmmmy!!!! It went down OK?

Laura-That sounds awesome!! The Wynn is so beautiful. You are right, that was fate!! My ex and I got married in Vegas...but on that marriage I took a gamble & lost LOL But, it was really a beautiful wedding. We had it at the Riviera many moons ago. It was really nice. I should have known when I lost the marriage license in the casino that it was a sign from God, but like an idiot, we went and got another one. That is the only place I know that the marriage license office is open 24/7. lol Well, i survived pizza day at work...that was a tough one. Thanks for the tips on the protein powder....sounds yummy. Kat-I got on tacobells website and the regular tacos are only like 140 (or was it 170?) either way, not bad at all. Take care everyone!
