Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't checked in lately. Kathy, to answer your question.....eeehhh. Honestly I'm soooo frustrated with the whole situation. I am sick and tired of having to get fills every 2 weeks! They put extra fluid in because they know I'm eventually going to lose it, so I'm usually extremely tight the first few days (which is miserable) and then within a a couple of weeks able to eat like crazy again. I'm sick of this cycle! I didn't get my Dec fill and haven't made an appointment yet. I just wish it could be fixed. At this point, removing the band doesn't sound so bad either. I haven't read up on all the posts yet, so I hope everyone is doing well!!

Hello everyone! I found a website that offers a free daily devotion for dieters. I am finding it very helpful as I battle my weight loss! Here is the link if anyone is interested. Devotional for Dieters Daily Devotional from Dan Dick, Christian Bible Devotions

YAY DANNY!!!!!! I was glad Amanda was voted through, even though she didn't stand a chance. I would have thought Liz would have lost more weight than she did. Danny looked AWESOME! He looks at least 10 years younger (maybe 20). Rudy looked really good too! Rebecca looked AMAZING! I hated her hair though. So glad she beat Tracy! Tracy did well, but she looked sickly to me. Especially in the face. Antoine and Abby looked really good too! I'm so glad Danny won!!!

Looking forward to the finale tonight!!! Can't wait to see how everyone looks!!

I'm rooting for Danny!! GO DANNY!!

Glad to hear you are doing well! Hope you heal very quickly! Congrats! It always feels good to win! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I'm really looking forward to the special show tonight too! I've been saying for years now that need to do a special like this. I'm anxious to see Tara. I know it was only last year that she was on the show, but she's my favorite contestant of all-time! The Green Machine!!

Well, I was a little surprised that Amanda made it to the finale. I was sad to see Allen go though. I am rooting for Danny or Amanda (although I really don't think Amanda has much of a chance at winning). Jillian hit the nail on the head when she was talking to Rudy. Like she said, they should be looking out for themselves and be proud of it. Rudy knows he was playing the game. Why lie about it? What a wuss!! I've lost respect for him and I hope he doesn't win! I think it will come down to him and Danny in the end. GO DANNY!

Well.....did you win??? I ran outside today. It was such a beautiful day for running. Not too cool, not too warm.....just right! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Today B- skipped L- oatmeal and small banana S- 1 c. raw cauliflower, 2 tbsp hummus D- picked at Applebee's appetizer sampler...and blue ribbon brownie:blush:

Yesterday B- protein shake L- salad D- Mexican- cheese enchilada, rice and beans (ate about 1/2 of it) S- popcorn and twizzlers (movies)

Welcome sndycnrd! I managed to get through another day of week 4 today....without choking, lol! I may do week 4 again next week. I don't feel like I'm quite ready to move on yet. I also did Pilates today, so I'm sure I'll pay for that tomorrow! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Today: B- skipped L- salad D- about 3/4 c lasagna and garlic bread S- 5 strawberries

Today B- protein shake L- taco salad S- too many pecan turtles:blushing: D- cabbage, green beans, collard greens, corn

Hi everyone! I have read about several women in this forum who have PCOS. I thought it would be nice to start a thread so everyone can share their stories and just talk with others who are going through the same thing. Many people are not aware of all the side effects of PCOS and the daily struggles we face. Here is the link to my story http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18/newbie-georgia-42048/ Hope to hear from you soon!

I was starting to really like Rebecca too! And yes, she looked fabulous!!! I used to like Rudy, but I think he is really shady. I don't mind someone playing the game, but I think he is full of crap! If ANYONE seems untrustworthy, it is him IMO. If you're going the play the game, play the dang game and own up to it! Don't make up stupid excuses for the choices you make! Amanda is okay. Liz is soooo annoying to me. Guess I'm rooting for Allen or Danny now... I hope either Rudy or Liz is the next to go!

Today: B- Coffee Frappuccino L- 4 chicken nuggets and mandarin oranges (Wendy's) D- Salad (lettuce, cauliflower, cucumbers, mushrooms, sliced strawberries, croutons, and honey mustard dressing) S- may have some turkey pepperoni

Scratch that. I tried some tonight and not a big fan. I really liked the flavor but I didn't really like the texture. Oh well, at least I can say I tried it once, lol!

Okay, I have been wanting to try tofu for quite some time, so I am going to buy some tomorrow. Problem is, I don't have a clue how to cook with it. So, if you use tofu, please give me some suggestions! Cooking instructions, recipes, best kind of tofu to use....I need them all! Thanks in advance!!

I couldn't eat much today. Today B- skipped L- skipped S- 5 tortilla chips, a little salsa ranch dip D- bowl of tofu chili

Well, I started week 4 today and I thought I was going to die!! I did finish it, but it was a challenge. I had to cut my first 5 min run a little short (probably 1 minute short). Not sure what happened, but I was having a touch of reflux this morning when I woke up and I started choking during my run! I almost puked on the treadmill, lol! I eventually recovered and was able to finish the rest. I haven't been able to eat anything today! That is really weird for me. Maybe mother nature is about to visit??? I don't know. My restriction seems to be holding out longer this time. I think my band is possessed :biggrin:

When I first started working out I was 330 lbs and I started on the elliptical too. I thought I would die after about 3 minutes too! I kept at it and eventually worked up to a full hour on the elliptical. It was hard to do, but I just kept adding a couple of minutes each time. Keep at it! It's hard, but it will get easier!!

Kathy- glad the weather is treating you nice! It's good to hear from you. Enjoy those runs while you can! Hope everyone is doing well! I ran 3 times last week and plan to move to week 4 tomorrow. My SIL is running with me and we've been working with a trainer at the gym some too. He worked us HARD Friday...I could barely walk yesterday. Today is much better. I no longer feel like an old lady, lol! Have a great week everyone!!

I didn't have a good day today. Went to a wedding and totally blew it...lots of sweets and cake. Today was definitely my high calorie day. Ate too much to post today, so I'll start again tomorrow!
