I am having a really hard time staying on plan. i am going for a fill tommorow to help me stay on plan!!

I was going great guns too and suddenly it looks like I will fall short as well. I really enjoy the support we all receive from one another. has anyone come up with a new challenge?????

All kidding aside. You were an inspiration to me far before you were "The Lady at The Top", but how cool was it to log on and see you there. I even think I want to be a pin up girl once I reach goal!!! I love the support here. I can often use a good kick in the butt to keep me going. Feel free to be brutally honest with me, and PLEASE, PLEASE, never let me be a whiny butt! Those are the only requests I have for my lady at the top keeping watch over me. LOL

You're "The Lady at The Top" and you've lost 160 pounds. You can be from anywhere you want to be!! YOu are such an inspiration to us all!!

Hey!! I don't really have a lot to say today, but I wanted to join the rest of the thirtysomethings. I will be 6 months post banding on Thursday, and I am very happy with my band. DH has agreed that I should beging the plastics journey at 150 with my final goal being 135. I am really ready to push hard to lose the 48 pounds that I need so I can get my tt and breast lift!! I look forward to "hanging out" with yall!! BTW, I am a Texas as well!!

I am VERY interested in getting a bodybugg. Just have a few questions..... 1. Where is the best (cheapest but good qualtiy) place to get one? 2. How important is the digital wristband?? 3. Do you have to purchase the subscription to use the bodybugg, or is it just extra support? 4. Is there a lot of daily information to input? Thank you sooooo much. I hope to be a bodybugger real soon.

I'm staying on plan today because I have had a REALLY hard time staying on plan lately and today is the day to put on my big girl panties and just do it!!

I'm staying on plan today because I really bombed it this weekend. I am in control of my choices, and i choose to make good ones today!!

I seem to have hit a little slump. I still have 3 pounds left. Don't know if I will make it, but I have lost 12 so far with this challenge. I am pretty proud of that!! We still have 4 days left, so lets finish strong, and lose all the pounds we can!! Does anyone have any ideas for a May challenge?????? If so, start a thread and let us all know about it!!!

Welcome flutter!

To celebrate being in onederland I boutgh fat baby boots and cruel girl jeans today. The lady who was helping me went to the 15's and I said, "oh, no, I will need a 17 for sure!! She insisted I try on the 15. THEY FIT!!! DH was very suprised at the shape I have in them. I might even have to post a pic later! VERY COOL!!

Thanks TexasBecky!! I can tell a big difference since starting to exercise this month. I love how I feel. Today....Ran 5k at the track. Man, it was hot and ohhh those hills. I am used to running on my treadmill, but figured I should take it outdoors in preparation for the 5k. It kicked my butt. I plan to do the stationary bike tonight!!

I love how yall do this exercise challenge. Do you do it each month?? I have just begun exercising routinely this month. I am running a 5k in May, so.... for the rest of April I will run/walk 5k at least 5 days a week, and do 30 minutes on the staionary bike at least 5 days a week!!

If you chew an extended release tab then it is no longer extended release.

I am sooo glad!! I know that was pretty scary!! Well, I have had a couple of not so good days. We are going to the Relay for Life tonight, so I know I will not eat great there either. I am going to be careful of what i eat over the weekend and then get back at it full force on Monday!! I seem to have lost a little of my drive. I am going to find it over the weekend. My 6 month bandiversary is next Thursday and I am 2 pounds from being down 60 pounds and making the challenge!! I am going to work really hard at it!! Have a great weekend!!

I'm staying on plan today because I feel better when i do!!

WOW KelinTx!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed your day!! I have thought about bodybug too. You will have to let me know what you think!!

I'm staying on plan today because I feel good when I am on plan!!

I have had an off day today. I shared apple pie with dh tonight and didn't exercise today. I have to remind myself that perfect is not the goal. Persistance is. As long as we are persistant, we will reach our goal. I came up with that all by myself. Pretty clever, huh. LOL Sounds like you had a really good workout today!!! Give yourself a big pat on the back for that. One day at a time. Sounds like you took advantage of today!! Way to go!!

I couldn't agree more Shalee. DH and I will celebrate our 13th aniversary on Monday and I am sure it will be the most exciting in awhile. I am sooooooo loving sex these days. I won't go into any more detail. LOL

You are right, Jennypoo, every pound counts. Congrats on the weight loss!! I hope you are feeling much better!!

WTG Brenda!!!! The morning I entered onederland I also weighed 199.4. Such an indescribable feeling!! I took a picture of the scales and emailed it to my dh at work!! Congrats!!!!!
