years and years ago when i had done the WW thing for the upteenth time one of the leaders used to say "be sure and count your BLT's Bites, Licks & Tastes)

I had got out of my exercise regimen, a while back, but in the last 4 weeks had got back into walking and last 2 weeks incorporated a little running. (kind of the couch to 5K approach but less running time 10 - 15 seconds every minute for 20-25 minutes) Have even cut back on my eating. Got on the scales this morning and up like 3 pounds??????? No heavy salt intake yesterday. This scale thing has got me just a lil down, was expecting a little loss, for sure not a gain??? Anyone have any thoughts on this?????????????:help:

Thanks for the help I am not keeping a log. I figure roughly I am eating 1500 calorie a day. Not that time of month. Getting my Water in for sure, One coworker said that it could be the fact that I started a new exercise regime and could be some swelling in the muscles?!?!???? My mom always said inches before pounds - Maybe dear mom is right???!

Has anyone heard of this or had it done????

How many sessions did you have all together??

F Y I Fill Center goes by the BRAND name of your fill, so yes they will take anyone, initial visit is 299.00 any additional fills will be 155.00 EACH

How does the Fill Center work? Can anyone that has had lapband go to the fill center? How much does it cost in the Houston area??? ANYONE KNOW THIS STUFF???? :faint:

many moons ago, i used a wooden spoon to stuff my jean pockets down into my pants BECAUSE heaven forbid my hand wasn't goign to fit in such a tight spot

I may be FAT, but have always HATED that word Taught my son that it is a BAD WORD The other day my son was telling me that another kid called some other kid the F-Word.........I was thinking he called him a f***** Apparently I had a funny look on my face, because my son leaned over and whispered ....you know fat 2 more points to make 1) growing up I could spend 3 hours getting all dolled up and my mom would always say “.........you look..........ok” Just like that pause you look pause ok am not talking about lots and lots of makeup have always wore minimal amount just enough to help, not hinder 2) my husband is 17 years older than me, and we have a 10 year old son, we have all been together and someone would comment about my son being with his grandparents... I am pretty quick to say I hope you are looking at my husband and making that assumption :faint:

I came across an advertisement for Boot Camp that is really close to my house. Never would have thought of doing such a thing before band. Anyone, out there tried a boot camp??????

Being too tight causes a spasm??? How long do these spasms last??

"I'm only going to protest and march for sh** that affects me," she said. "You know, if they say, 'Hey, we're going to ban the sale of alcohol after 9 p.m."

DITTO maybe

there are so many informative books out there I really enjoyed ""The Courage to Start" John bingham also has one called "No Need for Speed" very good as well another one I have enjoyed and got A LOT out of is "Running and Walking for Women over 40: The Road to Sanity & Vanity"

Just love to read a few of my favorites James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Leannn Sweeney, Stuart Woods, SIDNEY SHELDON, Kathleen Woodweiss, Sue Grafton, J A JANCE, John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, Lisa Gardener Most of these authors jsut can't put out books FAST ENOUGH for me Love that Evanovich will do the little paperbacks with other authors

Has anyone gained any weight since they have had the lap-band???:hungry:

My pet peeve is not receiving a Thank You card for wedding gifts, baby shower gifts, funerals, etc..... Driving across parking lots and then they look at you like your CRAZY when they almost hit you. I have been guilty of this, but only if its like early morning and there are NO cars there at all

I had surgery on a Thursday and was back to work on Monday no problems at all

Too Kewl !!!!!! Congrats Kutia !!!!! Is An Awesome Feeling !!!!

I have to dress at work, so on the weekends, I typically have on a pair of shorts and t-shirt, I make very good money, and have went to very nice stores only to be snubbed, because i was not dressed, to the nines, When i was ready to drop a couple of hundred on some clothes, MISTAKE BIG MISTAKE

THATS FOR SURE ON THE FACE WRINKLES, Will not look too closely in the mirror anymore. I just don't think some places are going to firm up like they used to: Arms haven't I KNEW the boobs wouldn't Butt not so much upper thighs and inner thighs not so much BUT I GOT SOME KICK A$$ CALF MUSCLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lost 70 pounds in 1 year feel better than i ever have in my life YES i would do it again in a heartbeat
