Thanks for the encouragment.

I am feeling really frustrated right now. I am going to schedule a fill tomorrow because I am just not losing the weight anymore. I have been battling with the same 4-5 lbs for the last two months. So I have been thinkng about what I have been doing wrong and trying to get motivated to exercise. I have been exercising but not like I should and I have my good days and bad for my diet. Like today was a very bad day. I just don't have any restriction anymore. I mean there are still things I can't eat but other things like Pizza I have no problem with. So say a little prayer for me and I restart this journey tomorrow. I also think my metabolism is shot and I have hit a major plateau and if I don't get to 140 so be it but can I least get back to 160. That is the lowest weight I have been in my adult life. Any suggestions? Anybody else having this problem? I did get in a size 12 though and I am happy. Just 30 more pounds! Como on lap-band, work for me! Later!!!

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope everyone is good!

I have taken some recent photos. Just need to add them. LOL

I've never done one before. I would have to figure out and see if I could find the time. LOL.

Where is everyone? I miss yáll! Well hope all is well!

Had a mini vacation last week so I didn't make the best of choices, but now I'm back to exercising and eating better, hope everyone is doing ok.

What about a meet and greet to a certain destination like vegas or something like that?

That's great! I wish you all the success and you can do this! You r doing great!

Gosh! I hope so! When can u exercise again?

Welcome back! Well Ladies! I did it. I did my first day of P90X yesterday and boy am I sore but in a good way. I also lost 9 lbs in one week. Last Tuesday I weighed 195 and today I weighed in at 186. I almost fell off the scale. I haven't lost that much in one week since the pre-op liquid diet. It's crazy. Well hope all is well. Take care!:thumbup:

Sorry to hear about the boyfriend! Sounds like you just need to rethink the reasons you got the band to begin with and start exercising again (find something you enjoy). You can do this and don't let anyone tell you differently. Check out some youtube videos like Bandedwendy or skymoon. They inspire me. Good luck!

What has been your routine? How many calories are u eating? Is it that time of the month? I have that problem at times. Are u exercising and what type?

P90x is a set of 12 DVDs that are all an extreme workout.

Well my P90x arrived today. I will start it on Monday. Today I'm going to do Jillian Michaels Cardio Kickbox. Woohoo! Hope everyone is well.

That's what I'm hoping!

OK so I did it! I finally ordered P90X for me and hubbie and can't get wait to get started. I will probably incorporate it with the other videos I have already. Will let you know when it gets here and how it goes. Take care.:frown:

Depends on the size of the pill. Like Motrin I have to take one at a time and sometimes it still gets stuck. Weird huh!

Down another pound although I have been eating more than I should, I just feel like I don't have much restriction and I still can eat about anything I want. I even had two slices of thin crust pizza the other night. Need to go for another fill just have been really busy to make the appt, but hopefully will call tomorrow. Take care.

For me I think exercise is the key for me. I mean on most days I eat around 1200 calories, but some days more, but I exercise 30-60 minutes 5 days a week. I do strength training 3 days a week and cardio 2 times a week. I do videos because they work me harder than going to the gym. I have a few Walk away the pounds, Tae Bo, Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels, and Jari Love. I have heard that the Firm, Cathe Freidrich, and Turbo jam are also good although I don't own any right now and of course P90X is on my list of need to own as well. Good luck.

Hello everyone. Looks like I'm not going to make it to my Valentine's goal but Oh well! I have still done great, but i feel like I need a fill because I still can eat more than I should and am hungry more often than I should be. The snow we got here was absolutely beautiful! I have never seen so much snow. Well Happy Valentine's Day everyone!:thumbdown:

That's great! Congratulations!
