Hey everyone, It's great to see everyone doing well. I've had my 3rd fill and won't be back to the Dr's till June!! Although the scale isn't moving as fast as I would like i can feel the difference in my body & clothes. I have a bankers band and can't comfortably eat before 9am... I drink a protein shake on my way into the office or put protein powder in my coffe and drink that along the way. My favorite Non Scale moment was this week. I had to do a presentation for the President of our company and I wanted to look nice and wear a dress so a friend of mine offers to let me borrow a dress!! I was like your tiny A$$ is not going to have anythign to fit me!!:thumbup: well she pulled it out l looked at the tag and it said Medium!!:smile: Well to my suprise I tried it on and it Fit wonderfully.... I truly cried and said FINALLY!! Although I'm not that size on this blessed bottom I have I was truly excited that this dress fit me and then all day at wok everyone was like DAMN!! You look HOT!! Haven't heard that in 18 years!!. Everyone keep your head ..keep eating well...and enjoy those Non Scale moments because they mean just as much if not better than the numbers on that damn scale!! Big Hugs!!

heck yeah ... Meat lately since my third fill is tough .. it scares me to eat it at times.... that stuck feeling in your chest is awfull:cursing: I can't eat pork at all ...for some reason that and steak get stuck!! What an awfull feeling. Bread = Extream pain!!

Hi Everyone, just thought I would hope in and see how everyone is doing. I've had my third fill and I think this is it for a while... When I get full I know it !!! If I don't chew enough I get an awful chest pain and I have to move around till it gets down...Damn it hurts. My weight loss is slow but I'll take slow and Gradual then tons in the beggining and none at the end. I have finally figure the more I eat the better the loss. I have had to a seperation from carbs and manage them to the littlest factor if I have bread it's high in fiber and 100 calories I love those Arnold thins... It's just enough or like today to much. I usually have a low carb protein shake int he AM only 110 cal 17gms protein.. egg beaters around 10:30 Lunch 1:00 All Protein 4:00 Snack high protein or low fat then Dinner 6:00 Protein and Veggies all solid meals are around 4-5 oz. Hope everyone keeps up the good work Wanna B great job on the two lbs and Happy Birthday!!

Wannab Has your dr. given you any guidence on why no loss?

My Fingers are crossed for you keep us updated!!

Beth that is hillarious .. did you get your fill yet?

I personally would go if all checks out well. Maybe he can do a fill for you right then in there so you don't have to come back on the 18th. Keep us posted:biggrin:

Jewels, Don't give up hope I to took down my long term ticker and put up my June Goal I god tired of kickn my a$$ everday watching it not move. Last month I lodt 4lbs in one week!! Next week back on, then I had PMS I swell and crave everything, then my monthly friend arrives... So really I only have 2 weeks out of the month to ge ahead.:thumbup: It's enough to send your head spinning. I have a friend who had this two years ago and fell of track and is now doing great. I asked her how she did it. She told me daily journal with what she ate drank, if she was upset and ate 3 cookies she wrote it, Exercise how many calories burned and what she did and only weighed herself on Fridays. She says the next day she would read the previous day and learned from her mistakes and started a new day with a new can do attitude. I went out today and got a book and I'm going to try it. My problem is will Power !!! If the food is left out and I can easily grab it I will.... I caught myself eating a cookie in shame today!!! What am I two?? I knew i shouldn't have had it... WHATEVER .. Tomorrow is a new day and no cookies unless I stay on the machine to burn that 125 extra calories:tt2:. I'm not an eliptical fan becasue I hurt myself twice ..lol.. but I know it took me two months before i can force myself to the treadmill for 60 minutes.... Baby steps you will get there. ((Big Hugs))

We will all look FANSTASTIC come june that seems to be the most common month for us good luck everyone.:thumbup:

WOW I though i was the only one confused...lol... I just had a fill and I'm tighter than I have ever been and this morning i tried eating my eggbeater sandwich and CLUNK it got stuck in my chest !! It was the most painfull thing....I guess I didn't chew enough!!! I waked it out and felt it drop :tongue: I can only eat 4 oz's at a time and I have to go slllloooow but then 2 1/2 hrs I'm hungry again!!! :tt2: so you know what !!! I EAT !!! Small protein small bits. I know the diffrence between head hunger and real hunger. I wait until my tummy growls to know hey it;s time because I'm still trying to figure everything out. THe hardest thing is I work out at lunch and usually blow 500 calories at the gym that breakfast lunch and two snacks for me. One of these days I will figure it out. I'm glad you had some fluid removed. I did hear that it takes a few days to feel releif from what you've been through. Best of luck and congrats on your recent weight loss.

We can do it !!! I'm hoping after this fiil by 30 by june will be a walk in the park !!! WannaB see if they can pull out a 1/2 CC maybe that last bit was to much!! Keep us posted ((Big Hugs)) Don't give up

Thanks Amber & Ebony!!! I think I'm firing my personal trainer he's a meat head. I talked to one of the guys a work with who does this and he said to eat!! not worry about going negative just get my cardio in everyday to start tearing down the fat!!! I'm going to up my calories and burn what I burn and see where I am.:w00t:
