Hello Boo,I think we are addicted to scales my doc and my trainer told me not to weight more than once a week:-) cause during the day the weight changes... Try to measure yourself instead:-) After eating over during my trip to London I have been a good girl today:-)

Hi Kelli, I understand you totally. Im in the same situation right now eating chocolate and sweets, plus much more than I should be eating. I try to be good today and so far so good, but with me you never know whats going to happen when I come home. as I realized I tend to overeat when Im angry or sad or just being bored.I need to find some other "activity" than eating. Lately I have been slacking my excercise as well but Im just kind of burned out cause before I even started eating sweets I hit a plateu and didnt lose although I have been eating right and excercising... lets make a pact and post each day what we did right and what could have been better:-) Eva

Hello all Im sorry I didnt post for so long but I went to London, let me tell you I got a bit shopping crazy and bought lots of stuff...Skittles as well...I ate lots of it and also Ben&Jerrys icecream, because we dont get it here and I gained like 3-4pounds but I have my period right now so Im not sure about the real weight gain:-) But the 5days of shopping were great, of course I saw some sights but shopping is my thing now:-) Im adding 5 sessions to my challenge cause I was walking like 8hours each day:-)

Thank you TimS:-) I still got like 20kgs to lose though:-)

Hello Julie and Tracy and my loved fellow bandsters:-) No Im not very tall only 5´7". I posted my before after on the Before after thread so you can see my belly and legs arent thin my face might look thin but Im not:-) (not yet:-) Skittles are the best Im gonna buy ten pounds when I go to London, on the other hand would those ten pounds end up on my body? Damn it. I excercised today again, for two hours:-)Im getting back on track, finally! Love Eva

First pic is from August 06 (4months post op) and the second one is from August 07,its not really good pic,the scars are more visible,but are fading

Boo thank you now I got new energy for my weight loss and its thank to you guys. To celebraste my motivation I got a new haircut:-) lol Julie, I love love Skittles but we cant get them here, its kinda good for me:-)But Im going to London next week and I know they have them there so Im gonna get a huge bag...and Im afraid even 1lb bag wont last too long:-)

Ok here are my pics. I had my surgery 4/2006.Now Im bit struggling with plsteau, but its gonna be ok:-)I dont have any fills nor did I have any other surgery:-)

Thank you Julie, my litlle goal for this month and its 7 ponuds, if I make it Im gonna be finally under 90kgs:-) I did work out yesterday for 90 minutes:-)and today I have lesson with my trainer and in the evening a long walk with my friend:-) Now I have to concentrate on my food, I was pretty good yesterday and today so so (eating pretty healthy but more then I should), but its not the end of the day and I will be good:-) Boo you go girl:-)you are only 23lbs from your goal wow!!! Guysis I admire you!

hello my favourite ladies:-) Im going for 18 sessions each at least 60minutes:-) I guess its something like super bronze or something:-) I must start up my losing again and truly Julie you really motivated me you have lost 200pounds wow thats just plain amazing!! I need to lose "just" 50 now but its the hardest 50 pounds I guess, but my problem is more about staying motivated and concetrated on my weightloss. Im going to the gym today:-)

wow Julie, congratulations!!!! you are such an inspiration...Im plateauing right now but its all my fault:-( for last two days I have been good with eating so Im drading weekend cause somehow I cant controll over weekend:-) Everyone GREAT JOB! I still need to lose like 20kgs so wish me luck:-) love Eva

BOO yep I read as well than when you are sleep deprived you crave carbs like crazy and thats basically what I binge on:-) yesterday I was a good girl:-)except for two glasses of wine I had pretty healthy day:-)salmon for dinner, yummy:-) Im trying hard to get back on track and I will make it:-)!!!

wasa bubblebutt...its both but I can definitely eat more I dont have any fill and I have 10cc band but last November when they gave me 1cc I got chicken stuck badly and was hospitalized for a night since then my doc doesnt want to give me a fill and still from time to time I get food stuck but not so badly... Boo thank you! you are so nice! I guess something else then dissapointment with me not following rules and eating to much is bothering me I just need to figure out what that really is.cause my eating is usually not the problem I eat cause I have a problem. Right now I just dont know what that is, Ok my new appartment is going to be finished in a while and I will move there and live alone. Im frustrated at my job cause I dont have enough work to do:-)ok might sound funny to some and its ok if you dont have to do anything for a while but this has been going on for months.But I guess I solved it cause I was really hard on my boss last week and told him how I feel and that Im gonna leave if that doesnt change.(of course I talked to him many times before but this time I was just hardcore:-)and he promised to change that. I dont have love that might be a real problem, I need a man who will love me,there are lots of guys who like me and are attracted to me, but they either want only sleep with me or I dont like them (might be Im too picky) and last is money,I make enough but I dont have much more money to spend since I have to furnish the new flat so instead of going shopping I eat.talk about switching addictions:-) All of you sorry for a long post and thank you for reading it.its somehow helps me to tell you all this, the "problems" or issues seem instantly smaller:-) you all rock!!! love Eva

hello girls:-) you are doing so great!!!! congratulations! but Im not lately I have those food cravings and Im afraid Im getting back to the point where I cant controll them or it takes so much effort... I havent been eating well lately except for yesterday and Im trying hard today, but how come that for like 5 months or so it was no problem for me and now its just a huge issue??? My goal is to be under 90kgs at the end of August but right now its seems impossible,cause of my eating. I still excercise quite a lot though. Normally Im eating something like 1000-1300cals a day (on less my brain just shuts down) but on my "bad days" its more like 2500cals. Which is ok for person who doesnt want to lose weight but I want and need to lose but lately Im just not able to controll my cravings and binging....

I love Skittles but we dont have them here in Czech Rep. so Im safe, but there are thousands of other "bad" stuff we have here. i was at my paretns' summer house last week and all I did was eating like everything...my dad says that I eat once a day=whole day nonstop I didnt look like someone who has lapband it was crazy, of course the portions are smaller so I dont eat that much but still it was bad. At least we took a hiking trip to the highest mountin of our mountains, my butt and legs hurted for 3 days and Im training and walking a lot normally so I should be used to it:-) Again my trainer told me yesterday that I look thinner, Im starting to wonder if she says it to motivate me or if she really means it (again during the last week I gained like two pounds)

hello everybody, Im back:-) I was on vacation:-)and my food habbits as well...lol... I gained two pounds but thats ok I will lose it soon. Oh tell me something about feeling fat one day and thin the other.Oh and even when I was my highest weight I knew I was fat but didnt feel like it I felt like I was put into wrong body or something like that:-) I went out on Saturday and guys were actually hitting on me, wow what a new feeling:-)

Hello ladies, I have been away for a while cause I went on vacation to my parents' summerhouse. I was looking for July thread but theres none. I saw Julies thread but nowhere near my goal so Im confused:-) I hope you all are doing great. xxx Eva

Hey girls:-) Oh Im bad yesterday we had our company party (1500people)and we of course went to afterparty as well, in much smaller group though:-)I had so much fun we went to a bar and danced all night, the music was great,I came home at 3 a.m. I wasnt drunk I had couple of coctails and lots of Water bud boy Im tired today, I slept only 5hours (Im used to sleep much more like 8-9 and on weekends I could stay whole day in bed) but it was worth it:-) Also men started to actually notice me and it was really nice:-) Im plateauing right now too but its my fault cause I drink and we had 2 rceptions last week and I didnt overeat but I had stuff I normally dont eat (read fat or sugary:-) How is everybody else doing? Girls Im so happy to " have" you, its so nice to have someone who understands you and knows what are you going through:-) love Eva

Hello ladies, finally Im back on track and even eating well:-) yesterday I went to the gym in the morning did 75minutes on threadmill and in the evening I went to aquaerobics class, it was amazing although it looks easy I can feel that we were working on our ABS:-) WOW Julie its not even end of the month and you are only one session from your goal! Congratulations Boo thanks for your words I started to eat lots of veggies and it got much much better:-) oh yes I eat Protein as well although not really sure that I eat my 60 grams everyday Im much more like 30g max 40g

Hello I dont have a fill and I had the surgery 04/2006 still losing :-) I had 1cc in my 10cc band for a month but I got stuck so badly that I have to stay in hospital, since then I dont have a fill and my doc said theres no need to give me one since Im still losing-mainly due to lots of excercise and good eating.Truly saidI know I could eat much much more since the band is pretty lose but I try to watch my portions.Some days Im good others not,but it works for me:-)

Yep I know that feeling but it stops within few months:-)

Boo, Julie, Guysis thank you for your support. Im back on track, but it doesnt give me the good feeling, you know the one when you feel that you can move a mountain and that all about excercising and eating is great. I still go to the gym and eat as I should but it doesnt make me happy but eating junk wouldnt make me happy either. Ok I know what it is I havent had my normal BM in three days.Im used to use the bathroom like 3x a day and now hardly once a day.I just feel so full and no teas or pills help. It might be the risotto I had on weekend monday+tuesday but it had more vegetable than rice in it. Sorry for this info but it really is why I feel so weird.

hello ladies:-) Im back from Greece:-) Where to begin? I didnt eat very well in Greece but that was ok cause it was holiday and I gained "only" 4 pounds, but since I came back home I cant get back to my eating routine.Need your help:-) Im going to the gym but then I eat something sweet or fat,cant ressist it.Before I somehow learned how to controll my food now the food is controlling me and I dont like it. Im gonna try again today to eat healthy without any sweets, wish me luck:-) I see everybodys progress and Im happy for you and just a little bit jealous *wink*:-)

Hello Missy, it happened to me as well I lost my friend cause she admitted she is jelaous and stardet doing not really nice things to me.I was really hurt cause I was never jelaous of her and always wished her the best,aslo we have known each other for quite long time and knew everything about each other....oh well friends change...life goes on:-)

Hello Ladies:-) all my bags are packed and Im ready to go to Greece! Im flying out tomorrow at 5.a.m. that suck a bit but oh well:-) I ate so much yesterday icecream and cookies,oh well I will do better today:-) Im planning on running while in Greece,just hope that after partying till the wee hours I will be able to do that..lol... Have a great time be good and talk to you soon! love Eva
