ReadySteadyGo

I think those are two fantastic steps, melissa. You know I have always had and still have a problem getting the weight off, I have to really force myself to pay attention to what I put in my mouth. It's almost an instinct for me to snack.

What are you currently reading? Me- Great Expectations again. I just finsihed Pride and Prejudice. I am going through a classic literature phase right now. I have to say that Pride and Prejudice and the Scarlet Letter are two of my all time favorite books. Share with us. Give us ideas on what to search amazon for...What are you reading and is it any good?

Hello Hello Hello Hello. So I have another fill scheduled on April 6th. That should be fun I guess. I think my Dr just wanted to see me more since I told her I took a four month pause from acting like I knew what a lapband was.

I'm going to clean this weekend. I have to go see this play thing my roommate is in, but other than that I am going to clean and maybe do some walking with my doggies. I agree tapshoes. We need more stuff.

Cute. Well, my coworkers always want to go to lunch with me...I'm flattered, but I always want healthy stuff like subway and sushi, and they want things like Chinese food and pizza. They get frustrated with me when I tell them No. What can I do to get them off my back? *hugs Diva*

*steals the trophy from you and runs around in a victory lap*

Thank you. I have been busy working on my blog and I joined weight watchers so I have spent a lot of time on there websites, but I missed it here. I like the people better :cursing:

Oh Tais mom I'm sorry.

the band is here to help tapshoes...but sometimes I wish it would help more :cursing: I have lost six lbs this month though. I don't think I'm gonna make it to my 10 lbs this month, but six is a good start right? By the way. I love you guys.

Take care of yourself SLG and remember we are here to help.

I was wondering if you gals still drink those shakes after a year. I always hated them, but maybe it's time to pick them up again?

How has your life been lately?

Carrots don't have a bad smell, they just taste weird. :confused: I looooove chocolate. You have no idea. A deep dark fancy chocolate and a glass of rosa regale and I will be so so happy.

Welcome back, Wantit. Nice to have you. Jaime. I totally understand your stress eating, I hope that your heart heals, but intil it does I could sympathize with how hard it is to live the lapband life. It takes motivation and a positive attitude and noone could blame you for being short on those right now. Don't be hard on yourself.

*Does the Victory Dance*

*looks over your day and nods head* That looks very good MissDiva. Keep it up.

I couldn't either, but I could try harder to get my three times a week in.

Tapshoes, there is no such thing as too much TMI for me :thumbup:

Are you gay?

LilMiss. That sounds good. I started keeping a food journal myslef last week, and it really helps to make you pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth. Exercise. Its a proud moment to write that stuff down and look at it later. I think that is an excellent idea. Get in the ZONE!

lets not talk of tasty things. I start thinking about how I love nuts in my icecream.... Tapshoes...what is the absolutely worst food you have ever tasted? What about you, Shiny? What are some of the foods you just can't stomach? Mine- Worst food ever- Big John's Pork and Beans. I cannot stand these. If someone is eating them I gag. My dad once made me taste them and I threw up all over the place. Other foods I can't stand- believe it or not, I hate brownies. The smell of them make me sick. And Doritios, and carrots. I hate carrots.

I finally watched Milk yesterday. I cried for two hours. What a beautiful movie. It made me want to go protest. His acceptance speech for the award too, was just awesome. Anyone else seen it?

I've stayed away because my weight doesn't move, and hasn't. I'm depressed, but I finally called my Doctor for a fill. My last one was the first of October. I've been putting it off because I really hadn't lost any weight since my last fill and I don't want to deal with that. I feel like a failure. I have a hard time not drinking when I'm eating and eating the right things, and I have never had proper restriction anyway so I am sorry that I haven't been around dear hearts, but I couldn't be happy for anyone or encouraging, I was too depressed about my own situation. I have been excercising. I've been trying to make better decisions but it doesn't move the scale and hasn't in months. I started off at 330 lbs and was hoping to be 100 lbs down by now. I feel so sorry for myself. Anway. That is why I haven't been around, I just haven't wanted to deal with it. I'm sorry you guys.

I agree. When we aren't losing we feel bad enough, we don't need anyone else harping one us. I was terrified to get my fill after that four months but they were very nice. You are doing super, by the way. And you look great crystal.

Tapshoes, I was pretty much gone. I had decided that this just didn't work me for. That I couldn't do it and I was done. But then I kept getting your private messages. LilMiss- I have my eyes on the road and I am staring at my destination and I want to get there so bad I can taste it. I know that you will get out that hole. I did join weight watchers. I think I need a little structure to get me back on track. I will let you guys know how that goes. I'm pretty excited about. I'm a bandster that needs a little help right now.
