I don't know if this is looked down on or not BUT I think I am going to do the slim fast thing this week M-Th to try and budge it a little bit. What do you guys think about liquid cals?

I know my body well and I won't need new clothes for another 25-30 pounds unfortnately. I am going to try and finish out the year in the clothes that I am wearing now, I don't want to buy anything new to last a few months. However, my mom tries to make me get one new shirt, but no!

Ok, I was swimming before it got cold from 30-60 minutes a day. Now, I am walking either 30 minutes or a mile, but since I've been feeling a little under it has been only 15 minutes, My eating isn't quite where I want it but I don't feel satisfied, even when I stop. I don't know if I am eating too much. I can eat a Lean Cuisine which is about 9.5 oz. and be Ok with it. Is this too much? Breakfast is usually coffee or hot chocolate, someone recommended drinking something warm in the am since I have drainage problems right now. Dinner varies but it is probably another cup and a half of food. ???

OMG, I totally forgot I even wrote this post! Being so exhausted tonight I am about to go to sleep but will respond with all of my regimen tomorrow! LOL

I am not even looking at number sizes until I hit 175! Hopefully, that will be in Feb!

I'm stickin' hard at 196. I know I need to up my walking now that it is too cold to swim. However, right now, I have a horrible cough and have been lucky to get in 15 minutes. =( I don't know if I will meet my 185 goal by xmas. I guess I could protein shake it for a week or so to move it down quicker too. How are you guys doing with goals? I am a slow loser so far!

Good answer M! I think a guy would totally take a step back and relook at the person they have already dumped!

Manatee-- Heres a ? What if you dated someone that was a little chunky at first. You decide she isn't for you due to the chunkness, then, see her months later and she is totally hot. Would you try again? Honestly, how much would the weight factor in on this one?

FSC--I saw your pix on the bef/aft page, you look awesome! I am so glad that you are OK.

Di-Normal seems to get harder and harder with every person I meet.

I enjoyed T-Day. I got stuffed alot sooner than usual which was great. I never get full except Tday and Xmas. So, I think it was a big step ahead of where I usually am on Tday. =)

Was there a big difference? I go in on Wed. for number 2 and am hoping!! Does anyone have pretty good restriciton yet?I know we are all different but just curious!:biggrin1:

Moving does the trick every time!

<p>With all do respect, it's only been 3 months!</p> So, that is success in my eyes!

whodaddy How doesn over filling cause erosion?

That is AWESOME Dave! What are your secrets? !!

Thanks guys! I am nervous about this whole thing because I took it into my hands to put together a Single Bandies group. I don't want to let people down and I would like for it to grow! So, the first meeting is soooo important!

Salsa weigh the day after you move. You will be there after all that hard work all day long!

Manatee-For her to ask you to her xmas party, she has to like you. A) you are going to be around people she works with and so she's not going to pick up just any bum off the street girls can respect a guy that doesn't mug down or anything on the first dates,it shows you are decent! Denise-Thanks for you advice. I willl probably go with that one, hell, I might just bring up both and talk about the two together! ugh, good thing there is a month until this meeting. My initial goal is to get girls and guys but for now I think it is all chicks.

Everything sounds great with everyone!! I am down about 20 and think I will start dating again in 30 more pounds. However, I have a big question for you guys, I am putting together a little dinner for single banders in my area, what do you think biggest topics are? I came up with to date yet or not ?and do I tell or not? You that are actively dating, what are other issues you have faced?

I am feeling a difference and the scale is moving. YeeHaa!!

Ghost, I am a short girl too, so I have REALLY been watching this thread. Let me say, you look awesome! I am just 3 months into my band but I can tell you now, in about a year you will be getting some ?'s from me!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Finally, I have hit onederland! I was in between 203-206 for about a month. How frustrating! Anyhow, I have been swimming a little bit 4 times a week. While this is supposed to be good, I rarely seem to get my heartrate up. So, I am going to starting walking a mile before I swim to see if this helps. I would love to be 175 by xmas. However, that might be stretching it so I would settle for 185. Timeline: 185 by Xmas 175 by Valentine's Day 165 by Spring Break 155 by End of School 145 by My Bday, June 27 135 by Bandiversary Aug. 7 Does this look feasible? realistic?

OK, so there was some kind of fluke that kept me from getting my second fill when I should have. I had my first one in mid-Sept. and the second on 11/7. I had called at the beginning of Oct. when I knew I didn't have restriction and she said they were booked until 11/7! WEll, come to find out, Dr. took a week off and then the nurse took a week off making two weeks out of October impossible to get a fill. So I was in the first stage for a long time. These people at the fill place aren't real friendly so as soon as I get my two fills that I have already paid for I will be going somewhere else. I want to email my nurse and tell her about them but I think I might wait until I am done there. This past week I got a rather big fillfor number two but seeming how I was supposed to be on number 3 I hope it catches up with me! I have only lost 17 pounds and that alone without the grouchy people is frustrating enough. Keeping fingers crossed that this one works!

199.7 for me this morning! The first thing I drink and it will be gone! lol
