Pizzi, The BIG SMILE on your face from the pics we saw talks to your life change!! Your band, move and new job are worth enjoying the moment for! ROCK ON SISTER!!!:smile2::cool2:

Hi everyone, I just finished my 4.5 miles. My knee is a bit sore but I did a lot of stretching. My doc told me to see how it feels day by day. I might try walking every other day and weight training the other.

Good for you Frangi!! WOW - that date is coming close! I am so excited for you! Becky, may I ask what symptoms you are having? Around 2 weeks ago I had some vomiting for a couple of days because I was off program and eating too much. Now I think I may feel differently in there. Everything is crossed for you though! Now there's a thought that must make you laugh!!:smile2:

Becky and Frangi, Anything new yet? If not, hang in there. This is just a mild bump along the road. Keep us posted!

Happy Mothers Day or Happy Sunday Crazy Ates!! I am nursing a very sore right knee:mad:. Yesterday I did upper body strength training with my son. Today was alot of yard work and the boys carried all my flower pots around so I didn't put any pressure on it. I will see the Dr tomorrow. I don't want to be on rest!! I need to move!!

WOW!! You ladies look fantastic!! I had someone take a picture of me at the wedding we attended last night. I will try to figure out how to post!

Go Salsa!! You can do it!! We all have faith in you!:biggrin:

I am very happy for you Frangi!!! I have wanted to post on this thread for a couple of days now but work is getting so busy. Frangi, Becky and Salsa, you should really think about writing a book with all the open, honest and heart felt personal information you have shared with us here. Not only would Fellow Bandsters flock to buy the book, but also those who are comtemplating plastic surgery. As I read your posts its amazing how close I feel to all of you. Just remember to thank me when you are rich from the royalties of the book!! Also you must include JudiM. She just rocks my socks with her wit and creative ability!! I will always wish you the best!!

Hi everyone, I didn't get to post last night. I did my 4.5 miles in record time. Funny though, the scale is up again!!! I am up 2.4 lbs. What a mood that put me in this morning. I have to get back to basics. I actually had a Dr appt yesterday morning. He told me that some folks just lose much quicker than others and to hang in there. I look at your numbers and it kills me. I must try harder!!! I will never give up thanks to all the support I get here!!

Welcome BandedBabs! This group will keep you motivated that's for sure!

Finished my 4.5 miles tonight with some light jogging for part of the way. I usually wind up with shin splints so I took it easy. Have a great evening everyone!!

Congratulations!! It is a wonderful accomplishment! Treat yourself to a new outfit, shoes and all!! You earned it!:thumbup::tt1:

Frangi - the scale has gone up for me! I think I jinxed myself - LOL! I have to kick it into real high gear now!! Will post my exercise later. Have a great day everyone!

Frangi, Thanks for sharing your personal story. Many women may not be as open as you are. The info you give us is so valuable for a woman's health. I'm glad things are working out even better for you!! Your perseverance is amazing and it always pays off!

Hi everyone! I did a 6 mile walk today to try and keep the damage from yesterday down to a minimum. I had a number on the scale yesterday morning I haven't seen in 20 years...then the phone rang. My girlfriends came over and they brought plenty of wine. Boy did I get fried!! I ate chips and dip like they were going out of style. I must have had 3 glasses of wine which may not sound like much but pickled me quick! I got on the scale this morning knowing it wouldn't be good. It wasn't...I gained 2.4 lbs...that puts me at 185.4. Not the way to make my weight loss challenge...so now I am on double duty with the exercise to lose that and get back into a serious weight loss mode. Warned the girlfriends that we can't do that again for a long time!!

I finished a 3.5 mile walk today. With ease I might add!! My right knee is sore so tomorrow is weight training. Have a great evening!!

Congratulations to you!! :thumbup::thumbup: What a wonderful post!!

Wow Frangi!! Keep us updated. I hope to be in your shoes someday! Actually I would take those shoes off your hands that you posted when you posted your before and after pics!!! You are an inspiration to many!!

I am going to start monthly weight loss goals. I hope it helps! I know it can't hurt. I did a 4 mile walk today. I have a sore right knee that I am hoping will go away.

Salsa, glad you are taking care of that foot. I did my 4.5 miles yesterday. What a rough month. I let too many things get in the way. Look out May!

Becky, How exciting!! Congratulations! You put your mind to it and did it!! Again, you are my hero!! All of you Big Losers in August are amazing. I wish I could have the drive and determination you have to make it. But, you have helped me so much get to where I am! Thank you!! Jody

Finished my 4.5 mile walk today. Have a great evening everyone!

I just wanted to log in quick to say how motivated I get when I am active with this group. I have been so busy and some bad habits came back quickly and exercise went by the wayside. I may not lose as quick as some but you always make me feel welcome. Just wanted to say THANKS!!:thankyou::w00t: Will post my exercise later!

Maggie, That is what is happening to me. I don't eat enough. I am having a really rough time getting consistent weight loss. Even the doctors don't understand. They told me to just plug along as well because I am losing.

Way to go Salsa!! Great pictures! I am so happy for you! We had a successful tricky tray for the Squad and raised $6000. I am so glad it is over. Took a shorter walk yesterday and my girlfriends and I went for massages. Boy, did we need it!
