I am soooo happy!! I lost the two pounds I had gained.. woo hooo... I really hope it stays away..lol.. I am now so motivated to excercize .. LOL.. You guys are so awesome. I have to tell you that this website has really helped me. About 6 years ago my best friend hurt me terribly, because of this I have shielded myself from meeting new people and it has really hurt me. I used to be one of those people that would talk to anyone anytime.. I had tons of friends and was always on the phone or having people over. I would do anything to help a friend and was always the first one people called when they needed help. Due to the betrayal I ended up isolating myself and gained 70 pounds. I still hold myself at a distance in person, but on here I feel like I can be me. It has been so wonderful to have women to support me and who I can support. I am hoping one day I can get back to being the open person I used to be. I just wanted all of you to know... I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU!! Happy Thanksgiving..

b: pumpkin spice cappucinno ( I know its bad just not how bad) l: couple of bites of pintos and cheese and 2 bites chicken (came back at me) d: picked off of hubby's chinese.. definetly a cup of food s: mini ice cream schwans ok so I woke up this morning and I lost the 2 I gained... keep your fingers crossed it stays off.. :wub: doing a little jig.. I am so excited i am going to go do wii fit for a half hour.. then maybe some sit ups.. Thanks for your support guys!!!

Hello all you CT bandsters! I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving. I have hit a plateau but I am trying to push through it.. I will not weigh again until after Thanksgiving, I refuse to put myself through that. LOL.. allie~

Hi apples and strike... Thanks sooo much for the soft yelling lol.. I did wii fit for 30 minutes actually it was 29 minutes and did better today not great but better. Strike I hope your visit goes great with your girls!!!! My sister and nephew are coming from florida tomorrow and I can hardly wait! My sister has been soooo supportive of my weight loss and I can hardly wait for her to see the difference. Have a great Thanksgiving!!!! xoxo Allie~

I Allison am addicted to food! I have not posted in a couple of days because I am an idiot and have actually managed to gain 2 pounds (did not update ticker in denial). B: coffee L: 1 muffin size meatloaf, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, carrots and peas d: chicken carbonara with pasta eek, couple bites of cesar salad.. s: (here's the killer) 2 schwans mini ice creams, 1 cup of peanut butter cup ice cream, 1 100 calorie twix and 1 100 calorie pack of m&m's.. I get another fill on the 8th. Due to gaining the two pounds you would think I would work harder to lose but NOOOO I the idiot I am go into my mental fat person and figure what the hell just eat.. bahhhhh:cursing:

Hey Junies.. Just checking in to keep the thread moving. I hope everyone is doing well... I unfortunately have lost my gumption.. I feel like I am nesting..lol.. I just want to bake, cook and eat. For the first time since being banded I gained two pounds.. I did not change my ticker because I am in denial..lol.. I am hoping it is a fluke but it's been there for about 4 days.. eek. This has caused the mental fat person in me to give up. I know it's ridiculous.. I keep making excuses like after Thanksgiving I will get back on the wagon. I can feel myself mentally slipping away from all the rules. It amazes me how not losing causes me to freak out and actually go the opposite way. So if you could, yell at me!!! Thanks for the support! Allie

B: coffee L: 1 tortilla wrapped around ground beef deep fried :smile2: with sour cream d: 1 piece of fried fish :cool2: and 1/2 an asparagus spear 3/4 of a bottle of red wine (was at a party and drank way to much) paying for it this morning uggghh

It's Friday and only 6 days until my favorite shopping day of the year!! I already have my game plan well almost still waiting for the Walmart black friday ad.. but I have all the others.. My hubby never would go with me until a couple of years ago (the year of the Furby) My daughter only wanted a furby for christmas and I couldn't find one anywhere.. well On Black Friday I got one! I was so excited walking through the aisle with my furby sitting in the carriage looking at me when "WHAM" I was knocked over ass over tea kettle and this woman took off with my Furby.. I actually just sat there and laughed from shock I am sure.. so my hubby said he was going with me from that day on because he thought people were nuts.. I know different.. I have met so many awesome people on Black friday.. It's exciting and fun. I am sure that woman was desperate to please her child just as I was, I wasn't that desperate though.. so did I get her a furby in time for christmas?? well I sent out an email to everyone I knew and some I didn't know telling them my story and guess what.. She got 7 Furby's for christmas that year!

Great idea Apples.. come on everyone where are you and what have you been up to????

Tap where are you at?? We are supposed to have flurries but I believe it is tooo cold to snow.. snow before thanksgiving craziness!! I shiver for you!

Hmm.. I understand why your upset but my suggestion is trying looking at it a different way.. I have insurance but it would only cover the bypas (go figure) and it would not cover the lapband.. my hubby and I thought the risk was to high for the bypass.. well I paid $18,500 out of pocket to have the lapband. I looked at it this way.. I spent 25 grand on my last car and it lasted me only 8 years... 18,500 was a bargain for my life and happiness. I would pay it again in a heartbeat if something happened to my band. This I know has gained me at least 10 years to my life. I would get a second job to help cover it. It is all in the perspective you approach it with. We figured out how much we save on food and restaurants and bar bills by me having the band and in 5 and 1/2 years it will have paid for itself.. Good luck and I promise this will be the best money you have ever ever ever spent!

Lol Tap, it was just water but still gross.. but the day got better, one of my drivers came in and took over the cleanup.. so maybe this day will be ok after all, and I didn't punch him and he still has his eyeballs..

Good morning.. it's 21 degrees and I am friggin freezing, my office is flooded (toilet overflowed all night) and I want to punch someone in the face and scoop out their eyeballs.. ok not really but I am frustrated..lol.. I am off to wet vac ewww, it's tooo early for this crap!:thumbup:

I have always had a strong sex drive.. my dh and I were at least 3 times a week.. now that i have lost 87 pounds (i love saying that) I am like a sex freak.. everyday is good for me. I never realized the things or should I say positions I was missing. I have been married for 18 years next month and it really is like being a newlywed or more like having a hot boyfriend.. My hubby has been really attentive and compliments me so much, it really makes me feel sexy. So yes, the sex is soooo much better, hotter and more passionate. I can hardly wait to see how great it will be when I lose the last 50! :thumbup:

Poodle.. congrats on your anniversary!!! May your anniversary's be many!!! Is there anyone in here that is near norwich?? I live in Gales Ferry and would love a band buddy..lol..

How are all the Junies doing? Everyone has been sooo quiet lately. Maybe we should change the name to weekly news..lol.. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I am off to do outside sales today in 20 degree weather FUN!! xoxo

thanks what a great site!

Good Monday Morning! Kizzie.. I had to find outside of the box excercizes.. I have always always always HATED excercizing. I knew if I excercized I would lose faster so I bought a WII and I have to tell you that was one of the best choices I made.. The Wii fit is awesome!! I love doing it. I have slowly stepped up the excercize, I get in lately at least 30 minutes every day, either by wii fit, going to curves or some other form.. I do sit ups every day now which is amazing.. I am up to 20 sit ups and 10 leg crunches. My diet consists of the following: breakfast - usually nothing, I am super tight in am Lunch- some small piece of meat and a veggie or if fast food a small cup of chili from wendy's dinner- small piece of meat and a veggie. snack - if I can't go with out some small sweet like a 90 calorie kozy shack rice pudding. This is what I usually stick too.. I try to eat as low carb as possible since I lose faster that way.

b: coffee L: 1/2 piece manicotti, couple bites of salad and a itty bitty piece of cheese bread d: 1/2 cup of beef burgundy s: banana pudding 1/4 cup
