how far are you from your 30 days?

i did sleep better...thank you for asking want.. i'm taking ambien during the week and that is helping SOOOOOO much. dh and i spent the day lounging around and laughing yesterday...this after i got ticked at him for being such a tight wad..lol... wifemomteacher..i am so glad that you are joining us. this has helpmed me in more ways than i can explain, and that is why i like it. it keeps me more on track. i haven't lost any weight this week, but considering i had lost the 8 1/2 i guess it is ok to be a little slow.. i'm going to a new gym tonight!!!! i'll try to post my experience after i go (the only gym i have gone to is curves..and i hate it there). i have not exercised yet this week, but i did do yard work yesterday and i never do that. i did enough to make my arms and legs shaky (sp?). i was picking up sidewalk bricks and rearranging them (the 2'x2' ones) and they were heavy!!! i was going to go to the gym but after that excursion i decided not to..heck i didn't even want to clean the house anymore. i have decided however that when it comes to the outside of the house if i want it done, i'm going to have to do it myself. no sense in b***ching about it all the time because it does not good..lol.

i am having a horrible day, and i'm definately emotionally eating..my dh is being a butt...and i'm being one too..neither of us are sleeping good. he works 3-11 so, i can't sleep because he's not there, and then he comes in and i wake up because i'm a light sleeper, then he sleeps on the couch because he can't go to sleep if i already am asleep..then i get mad.... ugh..i've got to get some sleep.

WELCOME THANKFUL!!! We would be glad to have you join us for this blog. i haven't been tracking my calories, but i have been following my one a day sweet drink rule. this is my "PMS" week, so i usually eat everything in sight....especially cheese dip, cheese in a can.......choco milk...onion dip....dairy dairy dairy..lol i haven't exercised yet because i have been really busy. i should have went monday night..it was the only night that i didn't have anything to do. tonight i'm going to try to do something before i take my son to his nanea's. when i weighed on tuesday i still weighed 198..so if i can make it through this week without gaining too much, i'll be happy. i've got to break this sweet drink habit..it's killing me. i can go all day and the only thing sweet i will have is the drink. ..and i hate the idea of drinking that artificial stuff. ok, want how are you doing? what about you thankful, are you exercising and logging your food? congrats on the 30lbs by the way! quote of the day: (i like this one a lot) "Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started." David Allen "Getting Things Done"

i am doing fine. i seem to be sabotaging myself. i got down to 198 and now i'm back up to 200. i've been eating like crap. being perfectly honest though this is the week before my period, and i tend to do this. it's funny i just went two weeks without wanting anything sweet, i would prepare ice cream and then put it away, didn't want anything (except coke's...my weakness). then...all the sudden....i want sweets and chips and dip...and caffeine.... and my lower back feels like it is literally splitting apart. during my miscarriage when i had the d & c, that was overdue and after i already had severe infection, ...they ended up doing 2 additional surgeries at the same time....anyways....there was this staple lodged in my pelvis from a previous surgery...my lower back never hurt before, and now that they removed it...it is killing me!!!! ..i'm sure it is just a coincidence...........it's probably cramps..but it sucks nonetheless.. i am going to this new gym this week..don't think curves is going to do it for me...i want to try an elliptical. quote of the day: "Your power is proportional to your ability to relax." David Allen

ok, i'm not giving up on this: i do not know how much i weight cuz, my scale is broken...lol. so, goals for this week: exercise 3 !!! times. increase Water and only allow myself "other" drink once per day. (except coffee). track calories again. come on want!!! let's do this. i'm finally not nauseated or throwing up. it's nice to eat and not throw up...i thought i was just going to stay that way for a while. want, don't let yourself beat yourself down. you can do this, we can do this together. you will get your fill back soon.

i'm eating now. stop blaming yourself and calm down. It will help you eat a more sensible diet. before each bite ask yourself if it is worth it. sometime's it will be. most of the time it won't. eat what you are craving, just don't eat a lot. and although you could use this as an excuse, try not to, but remember, if you could've controlled all of this on your own, you would not have needed the band. the more you beat yourself up the worse it is going to be. keep coming here and venting.

girl ...i must have talked to you on the phone 5 times today at work!!!! how crazy is that. (i get in trouble for talking on the phone about anything personal at work, but you can e-mail me tdavis@famc.com (i used to be steingrubey)). so girls, are we going to get together or what? maybe we should plan for friday night if it doesn't work out.

lets try to set up a time soon. i'm good for tomorrow if anyone else is.

i dunno about cabot either. i think you have to pay to walk at that track. not sure though. we could always just walk around in someone's neighborhood. are either of you military wives? i'm not...just checking because most of the people are here are military.

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I need walking buddies so bad. (i'm looking for a new job desperately too if anyone has any ideas). i'm doing ok with my bad. i've lost about 29 lbs, but i had gotten pregnant, miscarried....been pretty sick. i just lost 8 1/2 pounds in the last week from being sick with an ear infection.so, let's not put this off any longer, when do you guys want to get together..i can drive to Cabot, but i don't get off until 5 and you'll have to let me know where to meet at.

i got my fill at 6 weeks..he refused to do it before then...even though i was wide open. sounds like we all live real close together. we should work out together. (i need some exercise buddies). i work in jacksonville at First Arkansas Mortgage Company.

i lost 8 1/2 pounds since last tuesday. i have not been able to eat. it should slow significantly when i start eating again. i'm now down to 199.0 WHEW HEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how are you feeling want??? quote of the day: "The successful man is the average man, focused." Source Unknown

omg want...that is horrible. i'm can relate to being sick, but not like that. i haven't been able to keep anything down in almost a week now. i'm so glad you are feeling better. i bet you were very dehydrated. ok, we'll keep this up and that should help you. i had an unfill and i didn't gain anythign when i did.

ok, i've not been able to eat all weekend. apparently (sp?) i caught some virus. so, i'm not going to dwell on that, but...i've been drinking my calories definately. most of them came back up...but .. my scale is broken. i'm not sure if i will get a new on by tuesday or not. my 7 year old decided to turn his bathtub into a whirlpool the other day (while he was taking a shower) and after a flood, the scale no longer works ). i need a new battery i think. here are some quotes for the days: (since i missed so many) so my diet has not been the greatest, but i've exercised 2 times over the weekend. i got the walking video. i like it. harder than i thought. want..how are you doing? i sure hope you are feeling better.

they sell the skinny cow ice cream here in jacksonville at the walmart.

ok, so i started using yaz around the same time as my surgery and i do not have periods with it. does anyone else experience this? it takes me a while to get used to....i love it though. my pms is better, and my migraines do not get is bad, my skin is clear, etc.

i'm starting to like it, but i just had a miscarriage and due to not having periods with the yaz, i didn't know i was pregnant at first. so now i freak out. yes, the yaz is wonderful for the pmdd. i have horrible pms symptoms starting a full week before my period (or absence of). i still have symptoms but only like every three months. and now i will have symprtoms but no period.

i have 4 lbs!!!!!............just 4 lbs....but in March i was down to 201, and then went back up.

i see that this thread has kind of died down, but want and i have been talking on the other thread and getting ourselves back together. i was totally off track. when i get sick, i eat. and i've been sick. well, i started posting my calories and what do you know i lost 4 lbs in about 2 weeks!!! now i'm messing up again, but still posting. girls we can do this. i say oh great this isn't working for me, but yet i drink a sweet drink or eat a candy bar. it is working for me, when i work it. i have to track my calories, or i will not lose weight. it is hard to do though. i have lost 24 lbs since being banded. i did get down to 201 and then plummeted back up. i can't wait to get under 200!!!! (i'm now 204).

i'm back at work now, feeling better. i don't know why they won't recommend putting a tube in my ear to decrease my ear infections. i get one in my right ear about ever 3 months. goodness want..i sure hope you feel better, i know how that goes. it sucks being sick, but i think it sucks double when you have the band. try to eat ice chips. that always works with me because no matter how small i try to sip if i'm thirsty, i'm sip a lot more than i want too. so far today i have had 160 calories and 2 grams of Protein. not doing too good today. i'm also having migraines..one right now is making the right eye not see, so if i close my left eye i cannot see the words i am typing unless i try to use my peripheral vision. I HAVE HORRIBLE MIGRAINES.

i'm trying to find a distributor for the passion for life vitamins. can you tell me about how much they cost for a month supply?

my doctor says that as long as i am on the pill and not having periods that my hormones are fine, but if i'm not on the pill and not having periods then my hormones are way out of wack.
