flirtyangel

So does anyone every get together here? Have a support groups or just do gatherings to get out and have fun? I am 26 and I am in Mesa, Az. I looking for people that are in similar situation as I am. I have been going through some major changesin my life in the last month. Need exposure to new people.

I agree with Jacqui I will make mine with a glass of Milk, a thing of lite yogart, with berries (because they are lower in sugars) but I will sometimes add a banana. You shouldnt avoid the heathly sugars like fruit. Or healthy fats like in avocados. I am also one after spending 2 1/2 weeks on protein shakes, that cant stand protien and I have tried just about all of them both from GNC and walmart. With the milk and yogart i think its about 12 grams of protein and I am getting 2 of my daily servings of milk.

WEll I am tight in mornings too so i will make a smoothie with yogart, berries (lowering sugar than bananas). I cant really do eggs. But granola bars are good. I dont really snack too often, if I do it will be like fruit, or crackers.

I had one that I realized yesterday. So to ride the bull at a club i go to you have to be under a certain weight. Now when I started my journy I was almost 90 lbs and thought I would never be able to. I as of a few days ago could now ride this bull if I wanted to. I am so excited

I cant eat bread unless its the crusty parts, pineapple, eggs no matter how I cook them, dry meats, speghetti any other shape of pasta is fine.

I heard cold closes the esophacus or however you spell it.

My doctor said try to avoid salads cause its empty space because the protien needs to be eaten first and not to fill up ont the lettuce before the protein. But I agree with the other posters to stick with the darker greens. Try to eat the protein first and the veggies and last the lettuce or darker greens

Thank you I really appreciate it

I have heard if you just lost weight you would be gorgeous all my life. In fact my mom just told me the other night another 50lbs and you will really be getting the attention. I get told I am beautiful all the time by friends. Yet when I go out nothing. Now mind you I have lost almost 85 lbs. I feel much better and getting more confidence. But wouldnt you guess I have not had a date in months and my last two dates were horrible. I did the match.com thing and i have had the two worst dates in my life. One guy just wanted a hook up which I will not do. And the other literally left me in the middle of a movie. If that is not a confidence downer I dont know what is. I have really been struggling. When I was bigger I got alot of dates. But they were not quality guys. With my confidence I am not willing to settle anymore. Which leaves me with no dates. I just dont know what to do.

For my 75lbs i bought a coach purse and billfold. at 100 lbs I want to get a spa day. and At my goal weight some girls and I are going to Vegas and I wanna go on a cruise.

I had my surgery on friday June 13th of 2008 and I was 26

Well I haven't posted in some time. I have had a few NSVs lately. 1. I was able to fly without a seatbelt extender. It has been quite a long time since I have been able to do this. 2. I went to Vegas last weekend and the last time I had been I was at my biggest weight. Last time I had hard time walking everywhere and was always tired by the time I got home. Well this time I walked alot more and was totally fine even in 100+ degrees. It felt great. 3. I bought shorts about a month and a half ago and they fit. 2 weeks ago I had to buy a size smaller. 4. Recently I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. Losing about 80lbs you just cant wear the same clothes. 5. My mom commited to my dad on our trip that I was not focused on food anymore, like I had once been. 6. My mom and I are almost the same size. 7. I had to donate 10 bags of clothes. 8. I was motivated to Clean my whole house. 9. I can shop in Kohls and Jcpennys now. Not just lane bryant or torrid. 1x at kohls mind you. I went from a tight 28 to a solid 22. 10. I have the confidence to wear sexier shirts. Halter tops and I would never have thought to wear those.

Sundays are usually good for me. I am in east mesa but willing to drive

I had him do my surgery he was very competant. The only thing I dont like about the office is that their apts are always running late. which made things difficult for my work. I am not sure if things have gotten better because I havent gone in for awhile I probably should though.

I had slow weight loss but that was because I wasnt eating the right stuff and exercising. But I am back on track so we will see

Thats great ladies, I am single in Mesa so not too far

Thank you very much I tokk today and just going to layaround. My stomach is better it was just that one incident

I think I got the stomach flu tonight and I threw up. Do you think I hurt my band?

Because we lose weight slower then the bypass if you dont want them to know dont tell them. Just say you been exercising and watching what you eat. Which when you think about it is true!

He will come just give it time. How was your surgery? did everything go ok? how are ya feeling?

Ok so I wanted to revive this thread! I had a major NSV last night. Here is a little background at my heaviest I was about 345 so as you can imagine not many guys would flirt or look at me at the bars. Well now I am down about 57 lbs, with alot to go! But I went to a country bar last night. And this really HHOOTT guy was hanging out with my group. Well we talked all night long and I was really flirting with him. And guess what?! He actually flirted back. Now I could get the ok guys to flirt or what not. But this guy was HHOOTT. And wasnt a bum! I was so proud of myself that I didnt act shy and was actually flirting with him. Now I will admit I did have a little bit of help from Alocohol but this was a big step for me. It was totally inspired me today!

no not yet I am horrible at planning things if anyone wants to help me out that would be great
