China, shopping always makes me happy sure wish I could do it more often. Only wish money grew on trees!Walking in the rain sounds relaxing and thats great that you renewed your membership. I wish my hubby could go to the gym with me sure wish they had a daycare it would be worth the extra money for me. Lookes like you made good food choices. I like the lean cusine meals too! When I get tired of ww meals thaats what I have. Today seems to be going pretty good all but I have felt so hungrey for some reason. The bloating must be going down cause my band feels real lose. thank goodness for ww plan or I would be eating the house down. Today I was to lazy to cook so I had a ww meal for Breakfast, note to self get some breakfast ones. Started cooking supper early today cause I'm tired and want to relax a little before the kiddos get home. I realize light prigles may not be the best choice but they keep me from making something else more fating. I can have 14 for 2 points. Plus I don't like raw vegtables. Have good day! Breakfast Turkey and mashed potatoes WW 4 lunch Baked chicken 2 Ranch 2 chips 2 ketchup 1 Supper Turkey meatloaf 2oz 6 points Ketchup, diced mushrooms, onions, oatmeal,green bell peppers, salt pepper.

China, you better come on and catch up cause I'm lookin so hot my husband started ww with me yesterday. LOL! Yes, I think it helps when we have people around or talk to that have a good out look on weight loss. If you have people to cheer you on and you cheer for it helps keep us motivated to keep up the good hard work. My husband has put on about 30 pounds over the last couple years. He is so tall you really can't tell but when I start to lose weight he always seems to follow on his own. I was doing good till got pregnant with triplets then seemed to keep putting on the pounds. I would lose 100 gain it back over the last 4 years. I think once I lose it this time my band will help me maintain it or at least thats what my dr hopes.I'm shooting for the stars which is the 220's. The tea sounds pretty cool hope it works. I love tea but it makes me swell even if I put splenda in it so I just stick to Water. But if I go out to eat I have a soda or once in awile I will get a sprite zero. Not very often though have always been a water person. If I start to do bad or eat something I shouldn't I think better not cause I will have to post it and posting it gives me a lot of shame. I still can't believe I lost after the cookout having that much food. when I would go to the meetings me and a freind would always have dinner out after weigh in. KInda a treat it could be a subway, grilled chicken or something pretty close to healthy. Then start the week off fresh the next morning. It seemed to help my weight loss. We gain some and lose some so don't let it get to ya just start fresh thats how it works. I could be in the same bout as you next week. never know when we will fall off the wagon just got to jump back om LOL! Have good day. will post food later tonight.

I have done great today! Egg 3 chips 2 ketchup 1..... bacon 8 bread 1 mayo 1... mashed potatos 3 rib 3 mac cheese 4 popcorn 1 = 27 POINTS i GOT ON THE SCALE AND THEY SAID 237 WHOOO ONE MORE POUND. the cool thing is when my bloating goes down I should lose some more. I usally weigh more during that time of the month. So I can't wait till next week should shed at least four pounds. I have been tight the past two days from water weight and bloating. Today I looked at my before picture and thought OMG I'm shrinking. My dr asked me for before and after pics so I Have the before and after is already looking better. LOL Hope everyone had good monday.

Glad your test is over you can stop stressing. Barns and noble book store has a journal called diet minder it cost about 12 dollars it las t maybe six months and has lots of room to right point calories protein etc. The book has alot of other interesting stuff in it I recomend it iver the weight watcher journal. I have the old scale you just set stuff on and it moves plus the digital ww scale. the digital is worth your momey it even stores past food in the memory. The food companion and dinning out is a life savedr for me. To be successful at ww your need those simple tools. I did great all week but Saturday I had about one plate food one tabelspoon of about six foods and 4 meat balls and nacho cheese dip with chips. about four hours later I had the same thing agian. I did pass on the cake and had a bite of my daughters so after al the bad choices I did make one good one. For supper taco 4 point chips 4 points. I did walk for thirty minutes around the neighborhood at my mother in laws but other than that I did no exercise the whole weekend. I exersice everyday like three or four times but today I thought I would skip it. I may not lose no more but the one pound but hey I can dill with that. so how did the rest of you guys do? Hope everyone did good this past week. Last night Me and the kids got to watch chicken eggs hatching it was so cool you could hear churping before the egg craked and see the egg shaking like crazy. In the next 3 days we might have 20 baby chicks. All kids should watch eggs hatch in enquibater it was such a nice experience. I guess anything amazes me LOL!

about three months ago I had the same problem as you. I had lost 19 cause i couldn't eat or barley drink finally went in and since i waitied so long it was completlry emptyed. Since then i gained the 19 back but my dr said it was normal since i couldn't eat the weight was probebly Water weight. My band is still not back to how full it was so im still strugling. Plus i'm very disgureged since the scale was 19 pounds lighter. I have been doing weight watchers to help me this week the scale finally moved one pound but ill take what i can get. Good luck with getting back on track. It is very hard to do. I went and bout ww meals to eat cause i tend to have more when i cook supper for my family. i still cook for them but i have my meal. I have stayed at no more calories than 1200 but most days I only have 1000. My worst time of day is night time so I save enough calories for bag o popcorn every night. The crunch seems to help me. weight watchers is a life savor for me cause as long as you do your points if you wanted a piece pizza you can have it. wish you luck

I'm hoping the scales move this week but if not the dr said I could get another fill next week. I can't wait I need restriction.Today I got one of the new flatbread chicken tacos, its round like a pizza when cooked you fold it over like a taco. Instead I cut it in fours like a pizza OMG...it was so good. They make two different kinds. You guys will have to try them. I'm lovin all the new ww meals.

I did not do so good over the weekend. China what is the five day pouch test? I have never heard of it? Tell me about it and I may give it a try. That sucks about the chix but you lost weight though. LOL! I have gained two pounds but Haven't worked out since Friday. After I work out at the gym MOnday it should go back down. I tend to gain water weight if I don't work out So I'm not going to sweat it. We ahd a great time this weekend. YOu guys would not belive what we did. THIS BUS OF CHURCH PEOPLES WAS ON FIRE WE HELPED THEM OUT OF THE VAN. THEN MY SISTER IN LAW BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND I USED FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO TRY HELP GET THE FIRE OUT. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP SO WE BACKED OFF AND A TRUCK DRIVER PULLED UP AND TOOK OVER TILL THE FIRE TRUCK FINALLY CAME. ALL THE PEOPLE WAS OK BUT THEY DID LOSE ALL THERE EQUIPMENT. WE WAS ON THE WAY TO MR GATTIS WITH TWO CAR LOADS OF GIRLS AND NO ONE WOULD STOP AND HELP THE POOR PEOPLE. SURE DID MAKE US FEEL GOOD TO HELP OF COUSE WE PARKED OUR CARS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE ON FIRE TO ENSURE ALL THE GIRLS WERE SAFE.

Some of us that are doing ww post daily and weekly above this post try find and join us. Even if you go to the meetings it's a little more support and the other two are very helpful. My advice is spread your points out all during the day so you don't eat as much in one meal. I love ww and it has helped me alot. Its about the only diet I can lose on because you can have anything you want and you don't feel deprived. I think its a great plan cause i could never do a diet where i can't have certain things. Good luck hope to see you on our support group. It has about 10 pages of posts. The band is a tool to help me some people think you should starve with the band but I'm not one of those people. I enjoy the meals they sale at walmart and I use my point finder to cook meals from scratch. I don't use my allowence points or exercise points that seems to help me. My points are 28 and I have no problem. My dr told me not to focus on eating 1/2 cup food each meal just eat till I'm satisfied. I had lost 15 more pounds but do to medical problems I gained them back. I had a kidney stone for a month that wouldn't pass so my band was emptyed cause of throwing up. But I am happy with the 46 pounds. he said my weight loss for 5 months is great almost 50 pounds. How many cc's do you have in your band and which band do you have lapband or relize.

China you still lost so I say you did good for the week. I got up this morning and did a very bad thing, the kids wanted mcdonalds. I gave in and had biscuit gravy and hashbrown bad choice already. The hashbrown was 3 points biscuit was 5 points not sure how much the gravy was I have no listing for it in my book. So I'll say 5 points 13 ponits already boy I will have to be real carefull the rest of the day. Why is it we do so good then seem to blow it in one minute? Guess thats why we are overweight and have problems losing. I have to wait four more weeks till I get my next fill but I so need it already. My band had 4cc and before my unfill it had 5.5cc.China I think you are doing great wihout any in your band I wish I was that stong and had resticion with nothing in mine. I will plan my meal before i go saturday just hope I can be stronge and not give in sometimes I plan exactley what I'll have but the voice talks me into something different. LOL! Yes summer is almost here and I would love to lose some more weight and look good. I exercise all day which keeps me from gaining thats a good thiing. So as long as I don't gain I'm ok

I just needed to tell yall about what my husband did last night. OMG.... he made homemade pizza with sausage and pepperoni and it smelled so good. I almost grabbed me a piece but instead had my popcorn for the night. The leftovers are in the fridge calling skinnygirl HAVE SOME. But I can be stronge and not give in. Just haad to get this off my chest since it keeps calling my name LOL! China I sure do know what you was talking about when you mention the bakery. I hope by Monday the scale will move so I am doing my very best this week. I need to see the 220's which will take awhile but the scales must start moving. Will post my food and points later.

I have looked for rubys show but never found it. What channel does it come on? I love biggest loser, I record it and watch it while I use the treadmill. It is actually a motivating show for me. I've never had the steak and mac one, I'll have to try it. I have done great the past two days staying within my points. Of course the food wasn't all that healthy but as long as i stay within my points thats ok. I sure hope I don't blow it saturday though. For my daughters birthday me and my sister and motherinlaw are taking my daughter and ten of her freinds to a motel. we are swimming playing games having cake, baskin robbins ice cream, pizza and chips for supper.I will work out though at the motel plus swim with the girls before I go to bed. I'm going to try to be strong and not give in to food that looks so yummy. KARLZMOM sounds like you are doing good keeping track of your points. I noticed you have already lost 20 some pounds that is good. Did you lose that pre band or during the last two weeks. Your on the right track keep up the good work. Hope you guys had good day talk at ya tomorrow!:thumbup::biggrin::thumbup::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Breakfast Egg (2) Pringels (2) Snack Pepper jack cheese string (2) lunch ww Hamburger (4) ww Taco (4) chips (2) SUpper ww Hamburger (4) ww spaggetti (5) Snack 1 bag light popcorn (1) 26 points total for the night

Welcome karlzsmom, you can join us at any time. I agree with china I would start ww as soon as you can it really seems to help me. I'm not a member of ww like china but I use my books and point finder from a previous time and weigh in each week on this board. I just joined a gym so I really didn't want to pay for both. So I really appreciate china and whoever else joins this poat to keep me on my toes. China I lost one pound this week but I will take it. I did eat good though it's time to get serious starting today. I would like to lose 10 pounds by the end of May. That was so funny bout yours dropping, yep good thing you had pant on. I better get some new ones this week cause I might not be so lucky I could moon someone. LOL! I went and got some ww meals today so when I want something different I can have them. They have a new one out its a mini hamburger 4 points. I got about 25 different ones maybe I can do better this week eating them instead of what I fix my family. The hamburger was so good well as good as a packeged hamburger can be. I love burgers but they are so many points so these will be great. I couldn't decide which to eat so I had one of each since two are in the box I can have one of each for supper. China, you will do better next week and who knows the scale might shock you like it did me last week at the dr. Others that had surgery the same month as me have done lost 60 that kinda gets to me sometimes. So you have had your band for awhile have you had any problems with it? Are you still glad you got it? Does it help you maintain the weight once lost? My dr seems to think it will help me maintain the weight after I lose it. Sure hope so. sorry so many questions but since you have had it longer your a good one to ask. My weight tracker is meesed up any clue how to get it off and add new one at the bottom of my page. Well good hope everyone has a good day. talk at ya tomorrow Breakfast egg 2 points chips 2 points Lunch ww hamburger 4 points ww taco 4 pointw light pringles 2 points supper ww hamburger 4 ww taco 4 points snack 1 bg light popcorn 1 point 23 points for today

China, you are right I can tell I have lost a tone of inches. My underwear are sagging to my knees lol! Guess its time to get some new ones cause they are so big but I had put it off since you don't want to get new cloths all the time. How long have you been banded not sure if I've asked you that before? I think you said you have the lapband 10 can't remember it that right. So you have nothing at all in your band and it is tight? That is great I did good the first month with mothing in min but then it seemed to feel so loose. The dr said he put in 1 1/2 cc last time but I'm still not feeling any tighter sometimes it takes awhile for it to get tighter though. But we are starting slow fills cause I seem to swell so bad. I still have to 1 1/2 cc to be back to what I had before the unfill. Wishing you luck that the scale moves when you weigh in on tuesday I'm gonna start weighing in on my scale on tuesday so we can post our weight the same day. I am a scale obsessed freak LOL! My husband says hes going to throw my scales away. I seem to get on them every morning and night and when the scale moves up even if i know its water weight I get very disguregged. I should really weigh once a week but can't seem to stop.:thumbup: I have done pretty good today. Breakfast 1 Egg fat free chips 14 lunch sour cream fat free 3 Tablespoon doritos 11 taco meat tomatos 1/2 cup mashed potatoes 1/2 cup spoon 1tablespoon mac cheese grilled chicken 1 ranch dressing 2 Table corn 3 Table 1 bag popcorn snack my points went from 30 to 28 so I will lose 2 points this week that is fine though. i usually figure my point in this food journal i got from barnes and noble it is so handy.

Got up and went to the gym for an hour this morning I have never went on Saturday before but I think it will help me not gain during the weekend. I seem to do good up until the weekends for some reason. Still holding strong at the same weight sure hope the scales move before monday. Breakfast Egg two slices bacon lunch doritos, sour cream, tomatoes,lettuce, taco meat for my taco salad.

China that is great! Is this your first or second time weighing in a t ww. I have dome ww for years thats the only diet I can lose on because you can have anything you want as long as you stay within your points. I got a fill yesterday I have a total of 4cc in my band and I'm going to keep it like that. I seem to be handling my fill pretty good. I will not be getting another fill for awhile because its summer time and i like to cook out. Plus I do fine with ww plan. I did need some in the band though so when I get hungrey the band does help me get full faster. I weighed in at the dr and had lost six pounds in the last four weeks so thats better than I thought plus woke up this morning and had lost two more. Someone asked about ww meals I have had them in the past and some are pretty good. I'm not much on sweets but the little ww ice cream bowls are so good love cookie dough. I love the chicken taco forget what its called and the spaggetti etc. I just have to cook for my whole family so for me it is less cooking to just use my point finder and look at the labels from what they have. Sometimes you even get more food that way. Keep up the good work china I'm loving this site it helps me cause i joined a gym and dont have the money for ww and gym. My dr did seem pleased with the weightloss and he told me he coukd tell by looking at me I'd lost alot of inches.

77 pounds is great have fun on your cruise! Yes, weight watchers works as long as you don't cheat. I didn't do so well sat and sun and thought I would gain but I stayed the same. I think i was just holding some Water weight. My dr will be thrilled that i didn't gain during my unfill. I'm just glad those four long weeks will be over tomorrow. China thanks for the lecture on not being so hard on myself. You did great 6 pounds in a week. My goal this week is 2-3 pounds. I have done great for two days had 28 points yesterday. Breakfast I had egg 2 slices turkey bacon. snack cheese stick. lunch 2 turkey hot dogs with two light bread. oscar miyer hot dogs are great and only 40 calories a piece. the bread is only 70 calories for two slices. I try and get light or fat free stuff so my points spread farther. mid day snack cheese string supper i will cook grilled chicken with toast lettece baked potato with cheese and baken bits. 7:00 snack1 bag light popcorn i eat the same food as before just smaller portions I look at the back for the calories and use my point finder.

I did so good mon-friday but sat I blew it and then was mad and did sunday. I did not work out or walk sat sun. I had fought my band being empty as long as I could. I'm so mad at myself the 6 pounds I lost last week are going to show on the scale in the morning. talk about falling off the band wagon I had pizza and mcdonalds and hashbrown cassrole. This is the worst I have ate since nov 09 before my band. It is my own fault but I'm going to do better this week. I cant wait till they put my fluid back this week. I'm so glad the rest of you stayed strong over the weekend. start back at gym in morning and i'm going to stay an extra hour. My dr is going to be so dissapointed that I gained during my unfill.

L Boogie I was banded on oct 23 2009. I had to have fluid taken out of my band so its pretty much empty at the moment. Ater my last fill I kept throwing up and waited to long to have an unfill. I had swelled so much he had to take my fluid out. But next week I get fluid back thanks goodness it has been four long weeks. I gained during that time so I'm trying to lose the same 7 pounds agian and that is not cool. I think I might get on everday for support but just log my weight in once a week. Yesterday was so very hard because all I wanted to do was eat. It is that time of the month for seven full days I want to eat the house down. Do you all have that problem that one time a month? I have done pretty good this morning. Egg, Light pringles.Snack string cheese 6 points. Lunch Pepper onion and 3oz chicken sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzerla cheese and melt, One small bad fritos 8 points. snack cheese string 2 points. supp er same as lucnch 8 points. snack popcorn light 1 point. The last five points I save for if I get hungery before bed. I'm hooked on the chicken and onions for some reason so I guess I'll eat it till I get tired and move on to something else. what is the hardest part of the day for you guys to control your hunger? Mine is 6-9. Do you regret getting the band? I'm so glad to have all you guys support. It also saves me money from having to join weight watchers when I can weigh in and have you guys to answer too.Welp have a good day guys.:thumbup:

Yes you can go to the meetings with the three month pass but you have to print it and show them. I did that awhile back. I find if I don't eat all my point I don't lose as good. But the extra and the activity points I do get by without using those. How long have you had the band? How much weight have you lost? I eat alot of fat free and light stuff cause I can have more food. I spred my points out so It seems like I'm eating all day but I'm not and it has sped my metabolism up. I eat breakfast at 7 snack 9 lunch at 11 snack at 1 supper at 430-500 snack at 7:30. I Know this sounds crazy but it works for me. I eat the most points at breakfast and lunch. If you have any pointers feel free to clue me in.I'm weighing in Monday and you next Tuesday? We can post it each week? Or if we need more support we can get on as needed. Thanks so much for being my weight watcher buddy LOL!

I have been doing weight watchers at home for 4 weeks. I have the books from joining a while back so i'm not actually joining but doing the points on my own. I woulkd like to weigh in on mondays and have support from you guys if thats ok. I have been doing pretty good but if I actually had to post my weight each week I think I would do better. Next Monday I will weigh in and start. So how are you guys doing with weght watchers. Are you losing? How many points are you allowed? Today I had Fried bolonga for breakfast with egg and a peper jack cheese string. Lunch I had light baebecu pringles if any of you like chipe these are great and only have 70 calories per 14. I had I Peice dieced chicken green pepper and onion cooked in water. A pepper Jack cheese stick. For supper I'm having corn on the cob with chicken onions and peppers. About 7 I have snack wich is bag light popcorn. My points are 30. I do not use alloawence points or exercise ponts. I exercise at the gym for an hour at 500 in the morning. I take the dog for a two mile walk at the park after i drop the kids off at school After I eat luch I use treadmill for 30 minutes and before bed I use treadmill for 30 minutes. I got banded Oct 23 2009.
