Somebody stick a needle in my side...quick. I need a fill, yesterday. Ok I have enjoyed all the junk I wanted hummm:rolleyes: , well I didn't get that steak and cheese yet. I still have time, I'll do that this weekend. Oh uh yeah, I uhhhh need that fill. yep I have to say I am feeling pretty good. I got my eyebrows done yesterday and needed to go to a store just a few stores away and I walked. In the past, I would jump in the car with no hesitation. I am truly pleased with getting the band and becoming more active. Tonight is weigh in and I am excited, pray for me. I would love to see that 5 pounds gone but I just don't know. I keep saying it but when I get my scale oh my goodness, I just may have to bring it to work with me. I am below 400 pounds. 459-393-388-375 Was- was 2 weeks ago-gonna be this week, if not lower -and goal for Auugust I'm at 21 miles for the month of July and that feels great.

At take the challenge we did a timed mile.....right after the nurses had us tasting crystal light, crackers, pita bread, and light oils, olive oil, smart beat, etc. Well, since I ate before going to TTC, I was full plus by the time the personal trainer said we were going outside for a timed walk. 1 mile took me 20 minutes....wtf was that. OK I won't eat like that again before the pt get's there. With all that said 1 mile of walking with a full stomach LOL Tonight....dirty dancing

I'm sorry your insurance won't pay for it but congratulations on be able to do self pay.

Great attitude. Are you exercising? Are you posting or journaling your food and exercise?

Owwww poor baby, I'm so sorry. Your workout other wise was GREAAATTTTTT!

Thank you, I enjoyed myself. It is hard to believe it has been a year. I am truly blessed, I haven't had any complications with my band, my surgeon is wonderful, I want to exercise and I have actually lost weight. LOL God Is Good!!

Congratulations Jess

Sat- walked 4 miles (over 10,000 steps for the day) Sun - walked 3 miles (over 10,000 steps for the day) Mon- Plan (go to Take the Challenge 45 of activity) From Summer BootCamp Per Sarge Request- exercise everyday

Make the commitment to exercise EVERYDAY......whatever you can do. If you can do 2 minutes do it, if you can do 10 min, do it, if you can do 30 min do it. It is not just about how good you are going to look in an outfit but it is about how is your heart working. The heart is a muscle and it needs cardio acitivity everyday. Make the commitment today and post your exercise in the EXERCISE TODAY thread http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=18183

Desi80, tell me work in that store and that you don't just go around to stores stacking things in the middle the aile and taking pictures of it. LOL

In the past would you have eaten three bites or ordered your own and ate the whole thing.

Congratulations.....one step at a time.

I am happy with my exercise this weekend. Friday night we went downtown and walked but it was dark and did not stay long. LOL I don't know how the tourist do it. I walked bright and early Saturday morning at HP and came home picked up my child and went over to the track and did 1 mile there. Sunday I got up early again and was at the park by 6:15.....walking.....came home and did the laundry. I got my 10,000 steps both Sat and Sun.:Dancing_biggrin: I don't know what I am going to do this evening but the exercise thing is addictive. Ha Ha 20 miles so far this month and today is the 10th. yesssss I will pass that sad 25 miles for the month of June today. I have Take The Challenge tonight and weigh in tomorrow. :clap2: :clap2:

:confused: Thank you to everyone who came. I enjoyed myself and free meals are always a plus. LOL Not having Linda there was sad. I miss her so much. Linda was there for me from the beginning, from the first appointment with the cardiologist to sleep study doctors from hell to spending the night after my surgery. My God I will never find another friend like that.:think But I am blessed, he has given me new friends, not to replace, but to add to the love. The lap band support group has been an intrical part of my weight loss and I thank absolutly each and everyone of you. Media goes to jail "......people come in to your life for a season and some for a lifetime....."

You go Leona, you are out there and running around all ready, your mom too. I guess the rash is from the anethesia (sp).

Happy Birthday :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thank you for sharing Natural Beauty. I agree we all could be experts on the weigh loss subject but if we could just apply what we know to our everyday lives, that would win the battle. Since we can't or choose not to the band has become a very handy tool to have to remind us of what we are eating and scale to remind us to exercise. Congratulations on your lost. I hope your stuggles will fade and the lifestyle changes that you have made become second nature. Stay positive and motivated. I look forward to meeting you at the next meeting.
