Too funny. I think we waited like 2 days. We also only waited 3 days after I had a c section with our son. I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who doesn't want to do without!! Get ready Shannon, I have found that the more weight I lose, the more sex we have!!! We won't be able to get out of the bedroom before I am at goal.

You know, you probably shouldn't read this thread anymore, since you are soo perfect as to never mess up or falter from your plan. Most of us, on the other hand, are human. Obesity is something that we have dealt with for many years. We are not perfect, yet we are fighting hard and winning the battle of obesity. Take a look at my ticker, I would say that it is pretty obvious that I have counted my calories and gotten off my butt. Yesterday I took in 800 calories and burnned 2800. But I also have days that I drink some Starbuck's coffee or a lemon slush. Sometimes I carb out for a few days, then, with the help of my band, I get back on track. No, my journey is not perfect, but it is mine. I am VERY offended that you would dare judge us. Enjoy your perfect journey. As for me, I am VERY proud of my accomplishments and very willing to be real with my successes as well as my faults.

I Found My Display. It Was In The Yard Where Our Dogs Ake Things That They Find. It Has A Little Scratch On It, But Works Fine!! Woohoo!!!

Last night dh and I started watching the movie Kickin it Old School with our 9 year old son. It is based on the 80's and is crackin me up. We are going to finish it when dh gets home from work today. I haven't seen anything on there yet that hasn't been mentioned already, but it is soooo funny. If you haven't seen it, then it is worth renting.

I'm staying on plan today because I did yesterday and I want to be more consistant.

I would say I kicked some bodybugg butt on my first full day of use. I love this thing. Yesterday's Numbers.... Total calories burned - 2821 Total Claories consumed - 814 DEFICIT - 2007

the one and only Earnest P. Warrell (sp)

I have searched and searched and the display appears to be nowhere to be found. Bummer...... I have learned something today. You don't burn many calories sitting at the computer, even if you are typing. I have a new plan.... I am only going to weigh on Friday morning, and I am going to limit my websurfing to midmorning, early evening, and at bedtime. Got to get moving. Looks like I will have about an 1800 calorie deficit today, but I will post today's numbers in the morning. Have a great night everyone!!

The last time I cleaned out my closets preband I got rid of everything bigger than 16 thinking I would probably never be that small and certainly not smaller. WRONG!! The clothes I wear now are the smallest of the things I have kept and they are getting big. TIME TO GO SHOPPING!! I hear lots of you saying that you don't want to be "thin". When I started this whole thing i thought I wanted to weigh 180, then I moved my goal to 150, and now it is 135. In the beginning I couldn't imagine being at 150 much less 135. Now, I have a new hope. I can be whatever size I want to be, because, with my band it is possible. I now plan to have plastic surgery at 150 which will put me around 135 post op. That is hard to even imagine, but now it's becoming a reality! i will probably be a size 4 or 6 at that weight. To achieve it, I must first believe it, and ladies, i am starting to believe it!!!!! Ok, that was pretty philosophical. Sorry. Everyone has a different idea of what their goals are. All I am saying is give yourself the freedom to change your mind. i am soooo proud of all of us!! We are winning the obesity battle!!!!!!!

I was wearing it. I have retraced my steps at least a dozen times. I was wearing the wristband that it comes with. I could just cry. There is no way dh will let me order another one, and I can't say i blame him. I will keep looking. Maybe someone who doesn't use there's will sell it to me for a deal. I will watch for stuff like that too. I am just sick. Today is my first full day and so far I have only had 275 calories. That's pretty wild. I am much more careful of what i put in my mouth when I have to keep up with it. Even if I don't find the display, I am soooo impressed with this thing. I see this as being to way to achieve goal my my one year bandiversary!!

Texas Mom.. I do find it hard to get out of the plus size section. I am size 14/16 now and just last night I was walking around looking at plus size clothes. I would find something I like and then pick up the smallest size and it was way too big. Why do I keep doing that?? I told dh last night that I jsut don't know how to shop in the regular clothes section. My favorite shirt is one that dh bought me in a regular clothes store. It is a large. I would never have even picked it up, but it looks so cute on. I hope I can work through this soon. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

I never had a my buddy, just knew the song.

dunno. Is there anyone on this thread that doesn't want totals?? This is a great thread for support. It could easily be both, but I don't want to bogg anyone down with numbers. I say lets leave it on here unless someone objects and then we can start a new thread. Seriously, if our numbers reporting will bug anyone, tell us. It will not be a big deal to add a thread!! BTW, I have had this thing for less than 24 hours and the digital display came off my watch and I can't find it!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH

I do remember my buddy. One night a friend and I snuck out of the house. We spent most of the night walking around our neighborhood singing my buddy!! Got in big trouble...

Do yall remember units. They didn't last long. They were knit bodysuit things with different colored knit belts, etc. You could mixmatch to create lots of outfits. They were pretty expensive. In the 8th grade I went to Dallas with a friend. I spent all the money my mom gave me on a unit. My friend and i were going to bring them back to our little country town and make them all the craze. Well, it was purple and soooo ugly. I wore it twice and then cut it with scissors and told mom it was an accident so not to have to wear it again.

My bodybugg is here. Everything seems to work fine. I have registered it and all is well. I LOVE THIS THING!! I will update yall as I learn better how to use it!!

OMGosh!!! This thing is awesome. I am definately wanting to move more! It also makes me much more mindful of what I eat. I saw where some of you used to post your totals each day. Does anyone want to start doing that again as an accountability tool? I know I am new and obsessing, but i love accountability threads!!

I am officially half way there!!! 60 down, 60 to go. I am 6 months out, and I love my band. It has given me my life back.

Most definately Stryper. oh, they look sooooo nasty.

Way to go Georgia. That is huge. I shows that you are really changing your habits, not just following a "plan". My latest NSV.....I went and got measured for and bought 2 new bras yesterday. I have gone from a 42DD to a 40D. WOOHOO!!

I'm staying on plan because MY BODYBUGG IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT"S HERE!!!!! I have a bodybugg. I am wnxious to get it all figured out. DH is insisting on going somewhere tonight. I have programed it minus the tutorials, so I will read the manuals as we drive. I'm suree I will be obsessing on this thread and about my bodybugg. I just feel like the coolest person ever!

I'm staying on plan because I am half way to goal, and if I can do the first half then I can do the 2nd half, and staying on plan is how I will get there.

Thanks so much. I can't wait for it to get here. I am sooo ready to get going. I didn't realize they were having the sale. Oh well, once it's here and everything is working well it won't matter. I hope it will be here tommorow, but I bet it will be Monday.

He jsust looks like a little twerp. Your best friends punk little brother, not an American Idol. I know he can sing, but man, he gets on my nerves.
