banded_for_life

I am here for you Anne if you need someone to talk to. I agree with Eileen on not eating past 7p. I read the Volumetrics book as well...it had some good information in it. Just be sure to log, log, log that food...just to keep some accountabilty. Something that helps me is planning my meals.

1/7 B: Eggbeaters, turkey bacon and 1 oz of lowfat cheese omelet. 1/4 c of low fat cottage cheese w/fiberone cereal L: Tuna salad with 1/4 c of cottage cheese and 8 crackers. S: Advantage Low Carb Bar in Carmel Apple D: 2 oz steak, 1/4 baked potato, salad and 2 bites of roll. Water: 60 oz, 16 oz unsweetned tea Exercise: 30 mins of aerobic and 30 mins of warm up/cool down and stretching.

I love Advantedge's carb control...but only in the carmel apple. I like there Essential Energy in the chocolate cake.

Congratulations!!! What a wonderful NSV...can't wait until I do that....10 more pounds and I will be there with you!

Rene, see message number 7 for the date and time info.

I am probably about 90 miles away from you...just a guess though.

I agree...you ladies ROCK!

We've have all been in that very same place. I was right there with you tonight. I had done very well all day long..and dang it if I did blow all my good intentions and have a piece of pumpkin cake that I made..I had already ate and in no way was I hungry. I wish I had the info on why food has such a hold on us. But I found some good things tonight about myself. I did exercise for 30 mins, I didn't eat after 7p and I did have 16 ozs of water this evening. So Callie, we are just going to have to stick together and beat this demon together. Find some good things out of the bad things we do. Tomorrow is a new day to try and break our bad habits.

I hear you Laura, it is hard to keep it all in balance...I didn't make it to 1200 today, but still managed to rack up to 41% in fat...grrrr.

You go girl!! Keep up the great work!

Yes, AI is artificial insemenation.

Penni...huggs girlie for everything that you are dealing with right now. I hope you get to be on Biggest Loser...that would be so exciting. Sending good vibes your way! Stay strong!

I have been doing some light crunches...but haven't had any problems...but I haven't been doing them everyday.

Happy B'day Ms. Cyndel!

Congratulations Margo!

Super list of NSVs Jessie, keep up that awesome work!

FANTASTIC!!! Those are awesome results! A big Thanks to Anne for hosting and posting! :-)

I am really surprised at the exercise decree by your doc. My doc specifically said take it easy and only do some slow walking the first couple of weeks. He said no heavy exercising until after 6 weeks.

Sounds like you are on your way! Welcome to bandland!

Dr. B was my doctor. The Surgery Center does the fills. They are extremely good at it. I have had 3 fills so far. Never had a moments problem with them. You do have to do 48 hours of liquids and then 48 hours of mushies after every fill. I am usually in and out in under an hour and a 1/2.
