:thumbup:Thank God the Ticker is moving again! Down a little more! I actually gained inches this time but lost weight~due to working out with weights, but I was happy because I came down another jean size! Exercise helps folks! I may have gained muscle and a few inches overall, but muscle will increase your metabolism and that burns fat and leave muscle! I will take it! Lost 6 more lbs, down 60 lbs now! 50 more to go!

GOOD ATTITUDE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, YOU WILL MAKE IT, CAUSE YOU ARE DETERMINED. REMEMBER TO CUT ALL MEAT INTO VERY SMALL (TINY) CRUMBS BEFORE TRYING TO EAT THEM, EVEN HAMBERGER PATTIES, AND DON'T DRINK WHEN YOU EAT!

:blush:ME A STAR? I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT I WILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY ON MON. JAN. 18TH, 2010 TO MEET WITH MY DOCTOR, THE HOSPITAL ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND THE ALERGAN REPRESENTIVE (MAKER OF THE LAPBAND)!!! THEY ARE ASKING ME TO BE AT THIS MEETING. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT I CAN HELP MY DR. BY DOING SOME LOCAL TALK SHOWS WITH HIM. THEY ARE USING MY BEFORE AND DURING PHOTOS IN THE PRESENTATIONS AND SEMINARS NOW. I REALLY FEEL LIKE I HAVE GOT TO GET ON THE BALL AND GET TO LOSING THIS WEIGHT AND FAST! DON'T YOU LOOK TEN POUNDS HEAVIER WHEN YOU ARE ON TV? HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER DONE THIS? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU IF YOU HAVE.:ohmy: -
Tonight is the health and wellness class that I teach, and the Subject is"Listening to your Inner Voices" Good and evil, the voices do speak to us every day, when we listen, we hear both, it is what we do, the decision we make that gets us where we are going. Listen to your Inner Voices, learn to "Talk Back" to them, put them in their place! The voices always come to me before making good food choices. I always want the high calorie choices, it is only natural since those foods taste sinfully delicious. But what a poor result, a weight gain, not a weight loss. What do we want? LOSS So listen to your inner voices and have victory over them.:w00t:

Hey did you ever find out why you bruised so bad? That is definately a nasty looking one, but isn't a bad bruise from blood? I would love to know something. How are you feeling? Are you still on liquids?

Fear and Frustration Take OVER!
janetsjourneytoslim commented on Mommy1558's blog entry in Blog 81279
I agree with Kdee! I am a little over five months out, the first month, you need to concentrate on healing, your stomach is so swollen from the surgery. Then after a fill you will be restricted. The first month, your body is in a state of Shock and it doesn't know to start losing weight, you have to tell it to do it, by eating high protein and low carbs, then it will get the message and start to drop. I have lost 63 lbs so far 21 weeks since the band, you will shout when the scales start dropping, it is a JOURNEY that takes some time, relax, heal and you will adjust! I paid more than that for my band, cash and I felt the same way, that is why I work so hard to make this work! You will too! I am off to my support group meeting. Good Luck! -
Change is Hard...but Exciting!

Congratulations! Best Wishes and I know you can do it, we all got through it and you will. -
Finally posting a "bandiversary" pic. I was a little upset that I didnt make my personal goal of 100 lbs lost. So here I am still at 187 but I'm not gonna stop trying to get to my goal. Although I think my body may like it here.

You are so right, each person is different, I know just one thing, I am happy for something to be lost, weather it be lbs or inches, I just say GO AWAY! You are looking great!

Thanks! I am down 63 now and counting all the way down to my Goal! I want to hit 185 by Valentines Day and 155 for my goal by July 29th, 2010! My daughter is getting married on 10-10-10 and I want to look almost as good as she does! LOL You are a real inspiration! Thanks for the comments.

Wow you are REALLY Close! I just hung at around 204-205 for a couple of weeks, and began to Question this LB thing, then I got to working out more and eating less and there it was! I had to give it a real push. I too wish I had taken a photo of the scales on my starting weight! My toenails need painting, and my big toenail is broken so I did not post, but I might! LOL Really proud to see that number, now I can imagine 175 by Valentines Day! Keep me posted on your progress!

I know it was sounding weird about weighing in the nude, but hey I can't lie, gotta tell it like it is! LOL Anyway I know when I held the camera, it weighed two ounces! LOL Today I weighed 199.6. Went out to eat tonight and to the mall, was really good had soup and salad, then tonight a single serving of Popcorn! The popcorn was so good! My weekend indulgence. Now tomorrow back to the Gym, I am really toning, even tho I lost weight this time, I gained inches! New Muscle! Hey I am getting buff! My husband is getting happy for me now, he sees I am serious about this. I have been up and down so much, I think he thinks I will throw in the towel this time too~~~~NOT!!!! Have a good evening.
-
I will be running around naked with more in mind than weight if I can make it to be 185 by Valentines Day! That is my next challenge! LOL My sweet husband is so patient with me, lord knows he has to be! I have never seen him overweight in the 31 years we have been married! He is 6'2" tall and weighs about 175! He is really getting happy for me now. He sees the strength I am getting from losing the weight and working out at the Gym! I want to be able to hike along nature trails with him and travel a lot in our Golden Years! Keep in touch!

ONEderland is MINE! I woke up this morning around 5:30 am and it was COLD in the house. We have been experiencing colder than normal temps last few days, so I go pee, then pass by the scales, and I weigh myself, 201.8!!! OH NO! I was only 200.8 last night, how could that be? Maybe the housecoat and flannel pj's. So I head back to bed. I did not get up and get a shower until 9:30 AM then in the Nude, I weighed on those dreaded scales again. 199.6! I was so happy I was screaming where is my camera? Now I am in the NUDE and my poor husband doe's not have a clue, but gets the camera for me, it is a very small camera. I take the photo and the scale reads 199.8! Just as I had dreamed it the night before and posted the dream on my blog. I took a photo! So don't give up and remember Dreams REALLY Do Come True!:)

Call your Doctor, I had a sore throat too before my surgery and he called me in a Z-Pak, Antibiotics and they work fast. A chest ex-ray was made and I was ok to proceed! Good luck!

I don't want to sound pushy, but read the Bible! Therein and only there lie the answers to real happiness, not in losing weight or getting slim or anything else, I have problems similar in my family with my own children, and I made up my mind to let it go and let God help me with the situation, cause I COULD NOT CHANGE IT! The more I tried, the worse it got. Then I prayed for Gods help, and a week later I got it! The problem child called crying asking me for forgiveness? She was already forgiven before the call came in, but it has been nice ever since! We have to live it in front of them so they can see we have changed. I told them that no matter what they say or do to or about me, I will love them anyway. Love changes everything, so do not stop it! God is love, love hurts and love can build bridges back to a good and normal state.

Good for you, I know you are excited to start the NEW Year with a NEW YOU! -
Just curious but how many grams of protein are you consuming per day? I heard that 70 grams is necessary to keep from having hair loss.
