losingjusme

Katie, I know how you feel. i didnt get on the scale for a few days after i hit twoterville. i was petrified to go above and refused. you are doing great!

adding ... i only lost 6 measly pounds (in 2 weeks) ... can you say "farewell to food tour 2006"?

i am staying on eating plan today, because i took the day off from the gym **gasp**

thank you so much Jacqui and Julie. i think i'll try tomorrow. took today off! (after 11 days of hard cardio and strenght training - im tired!!)

Best of luck to everyone being banded today. it truly is a life changing experience.

the only thing i count is carbs because low carbing it works very well for me. i log everything on My food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log

hi, my band is a fickle beyotch ... some days chicken is fine for me, some days i cant even handle one bite. some tips: make sure it is either VERY moist white meat or switch to dark meat. i found i can handle thighs better than breasts try a topping or gravy. if i have breasts i like a teaspoon of salsa on top. cheese works well too. good luck

normally it is a runny nose. sometimes it is 1-2 hiccups

16 pounds is wonderful! congrats and good luck on your surgery.

Chickie you look amazing. love the new "after" pic!

That is Chickie's after picture - doesnt she look fabulous!! welcome!

I agree with Tracy, read this site. there is SO much information here. welcome and congrats!

welcome Stephen.

WOW WOW 15 lbs from goal! that is awesome!

YAHHOOOOOOOO Rain!!! Go Rain, Go Rain ... :eek: :clap:

Julie, i dunno ... i think part of it is sheer fear of extreme embarrassment. i am a complete and utter KLUTZ and dont want to trip / fall off the treadmill. at what speed do you suggest i start? i havent been on the treadmill for awhile (March-ish) due to shin splints cause i couldnt get my HR up so i did a 15% incline. i guess i need to at least start walking on it and just do it... but im a chicken. congrats on the 1/2 marathon BTW.

AWESOME!! that is wonderful!

**looking down at my belly** ummm ... nope. not yet

hi Barbara, it's just a challenge i give myself each month. how many miles can i really do? last month was 220 miles and i lost 20 pounds. going to try for more this month and see if i can squeeze another 20 out of me!! welcome to LBT.

i dont think there's enough foil in Vegas for you to "foil" me ... maybe by January though .. you gals are doing sooooo well and are my inspiration <back to lurking>

thanks guys. it hasnt been easy but SOOOOO worth it.

LOL ... ok ok ok ... i've got a former instructor telling me i should try it and a bandster so i'll give it a shot. :eek:

2 reasons ... i made my goal of 269 and i want to hit 265 next Monday and i fit in a size 18 dress (from 6XL) this morning and i want it to look even better on me.
