What have you been doing as far as meals and exercise?

Keep moving... mobility really helps

Lol at "fit for public consumption" and Im glad you're working on you... now go get ya girl and stop thinking about all of the "what if's"

Im sorry but I completely disagree with furios first, he's not a faliure and neither s anyone else who loses 87 pounds. The band isn't magical and it takes WORK! I think any friends who don't support you aren't friends worth having. I told anyone who asked and I'm glad I did. They've helped me through that horrible bandster hell, trying to get all my approvals, and even work out with me. I'm not saying you should tell everyone but you shouldn't be afraid to tell friends. Its proven that people with a good support system lose more weight so make sure you have one. If you have any trouble, I'm always looking for people to add to my team!! Heck, we can help each other!

I wash once a week with a GOOD conditioners and flat iron/curl. When I work out I make sure its tied down TIGHT. And last year I fell in love with pin curls so I make sure my hair is pin curled or wrapped before it's tied up. I also make sure my scalp is dry bofpre I take my wrap off... it really makes a difference!

I told whoever asked or whatever. I just didn't want it to be all taboo or feel like I was doing something wrong. I made sure everyone knew how hard I was working and how its not the "easy way". Now I have a huge support base and everyone is helping me!

Thursday was my last day!!! Thank GOD! Good luck ladies... PRAY!

You can pre-make wraps. That's what I have been doing on days that I have class. And you can be really creative and put whatever you want on it! My favorite is a mexi-wrap: whole wheat tortilla LF CReam cheese (replaces mayo!!) Salsa chicken lettuce and sprinld some mexican cheese

The only thing "routine" about my workout is time of day I just make sure I get in at least 45 minutes of GOOD cardio in 4-6 times week. Good meaning Im keepin my heartrate around 120 consistantly. I get bored super easily so I take classes from Zumba, to Hi-Low, to Water aerobics, and on other days I do the elliptical, walk, or do workouts at home (I use OnDemad and do the Biggest Loser Max. DVD) Bsically I just make sure I keep moving!

I think I reached a little too high in January. I didn't realize I would have NO RESTRICTION! Next firday is my first fill and I've started exercising again so I'm gonna go for 10 in February!

final weigh in 288! not what I wanted but I'll take it!

Thanks. MY roomate has the biggest loser one and I do that sometimes but I get bored easily and I need to workout at home at least twice a week. I looked online and the Core program looks pretty good as well as Tae bo! I've also tried the free on demand rentals. Pretty cool but I have to ook through so many to find one I can actually do!

Just tried the Health wise Lemon Razzy Protein supplement and is was GREAT! 8oz is 70 calories and 15 grams or protein! I was so tired of shakes and this is a great alternative that really does taste good! just wanted to share!

I lost about 10 before surgery... the rest is since 12/18 and its a drink... just add to Water. I found it at my dietitian's office but here's the website. I think you can cal in to order as well. Health Wise, Fruit drinks

what is a body bugg?

Down 2... grrrrrrrrrrrr This is slowing down FAST! I even started working out this past week! I can't wait for my first fill!

thanks! the thread is awesome

so I've finally started on mushies and I don't know what to eat. Aside from mashed potatoes and pureed beans I'm totally lost! Low carb ideas would be greatly appreciated!
