I would love to keep up with you. just keep checkingin on this thread i guess and we can post our progress or lack there of lol..... have a good night

Hi everybody. I know this sounds crazy and all but I need some advice on how to start jogging or running for exercise. I have been going to the gym and i have been walking and something inside me when i am walking keeps saying walk faster...faster.. and i feel like i am ready to start jogging or running. Do i just pick up my feet and go or should i walk a little then pick up the pace or what... I have never ran or jogged for exercise before and wanted someone who does this to tell me how they got started. I am 212 right now. Is that to big to be running??? I dont know how far i can run or jog but something inside me ( i know how dumb that sounds) wants to run. I sound like forest gump..lol Ijust feel like all the exercising at the gym and the walking on the treadmill arent enough for me. I am so sick of being fat. I started huge and now am just fat lol.... anyway maybe i would feel free or something while running. Goodness I have rambled on and on.. anyway if you can give me some advice please chime in and give it...... Thanks

Well i told you so................I went all day yesterday and all i had was like a couple peices of deli turkey, the really thin sliced kind.. anyway. ...... Low and belhold my hubby comes home with pizza and my horns came out..lol count em ladies and gents I ate 4 peices of thin crust cheese pizza. And the bad part is i could have eaten more i just made my self stop. Just wanted to drop in with my confession for today.lmao...I know its not really funny but the past is already done so all we can do is move on withthe future and try to do better. Good luck tonight folks.

I to am another night eater!! my reason for doing it is that is just plain ol goes down easier at night. During the day I am tight and for some reason later in the evening I open up like crazy. The bad thing is after i open up I always eat to much cause i feel like i am starving cause i havent eaten all day. Just wanted yall to know you are not alone.

well I guess mine will sound gross but you know if you are not up to sex just yet ( which is understandable) maybe you could get to her climax in other ways... I mean a little rubbing the right way sure gets me there. I dont need a penis to have pleasure. I think she may like just to be kissed on and rubbed on to make her feel better. Or possibly she coudl get on top if very very carefull. that way you dont really have to do anything but enjoy! Hope this helps.

Hi, I do not know this one , but i went ot one in mexicali. His name is Alberto Aceves. I could sit here and type a big long thing about how great they where but you need to make your own decision. In my opinion though they where very caring and knew what they where doing. I had a great time and everyone was nice. Also one more thing to concider. They say the border is getting ruff in some places but as far as i know its still safe where there. there web page is mexicolapband.com I think they have reduced their prices also so thats a plus. If you need to know any futher details on them please let me know I will be happy to tell you about the whole experience!! I have lost 130 pounds since last feb. I am very happy with them.

Hey everybody My name is Kristy and I am a food aholic hahaha... anyway I am now 15.2 pounds away from onderland! I started this journey in Febuary of 08 and was 340 so I am very proud of myself.

i have 3 kids and we end up at sonic alot. I usually get the 1 dollar chicken strip sandwich and toss the bread. i order a side of gravy that comes with the chicken basket. I use teh gravy to dunk my chicken strip in to make it go down easier. I usually can only eat one strip though. My kids fight over the second one. LOL Wendys has a baked potato that i have had a few times. Taco bell I am with everyone else the refreid beans or a taco works ok. mcdonalds i usually do the chicken nuggets with bbq sauce. the 4 peice one and usually dont finish that. no for the kicker ... Its like yu cant leave a fast food joint with out ice cream LOL Sonic has a jr. candy sundae for 1 dollar I usually have one of them to... I know sham on me!!

Hey Everybody! Is there room for one more in here? I had my lapband Feb.5th of 2008 almost 1 year ago. Anyway I have been doing awesome up untill about 2 months ago I guess. I havent lost anything in those 2 months but i havent gained either. I am looking for some advice and help i guess to kick myself in the butt and get moving down the scale again. I started at 340 and am now down to 225. That is a great loss but i know it should be more. I know i can do this. I have gotten several fills. I actually have 11ccs in a 10 cc band. how crazy is that. The crazy thing is I am still eating like crazy. At first i was doing great with the last fill but now i guess i figured out how to eat around it. I really dont understand myself. I cant eat till around 12 so I have coffee in the morning with cream and sugar then at luch i usually can only eat like one chicken strip or a small amount of cereal. But after lunch its like the flood doors open and All i wanna do is eat. And the stupid thing is I am not even hungry most of the time. I will eat and it will hurt so i wait a f ew minutes and then i can et somemore and keep doing it till what ever i am eating is gone. I feel like i have failed my band and myself. I know I am doing wrong so why do I do it??? I keep saying i am gonna start the pouch test thing and i get up with full intentions to do it and i find myself eating and say oh well i will start tomorrow but tomorrow never gets here. I know i have rambled on and on but i am just frustrated. ANybody know how i feel?? lol

what is a 5 day pouch test?

Well for me, people say how much have you lost and I actually tell them. I say 90 pounds and they look at me and say Really? LIke i am lying about it or something. One lady said I noticed you looked different but just oculdnt tell what it was. Then she said I can tell it in your neck.... Good lord I had a 90 pound neck I guess. LOL Anyway I am still big so I just say. ' yeah it sucks to lose 90 pounds and still be this big huh? " That shuts em up. I still weight 255 so I was a big ol gal and I am still wearing clothes from before surgery. One lady told me I was swimming in my clothes, but I cant wear smaller ones yet I guess I am in between. I get aggravated when people talk about losing 40 or so pounds and losing 4 to 6 sizes and I have lost 90 freaking pounds and still wear my 26 pants. Its like I lose on the scale but not on my ass... LOl Oh well Maybe it will come on day... Oh one more... hehe my nephew told me i looked half as big as before .. mind you i weigh 255 still so i was like damn did i look 500 pounds before?? Anyway I know we all have funny and not so funny stories.. I am proud of every pound . I know i lost it and thats all that matters. My son can reach all the way around me now. He says mama your getting so skinny.. i'm like yeah right son.
