losingjusme

thanks ladies for the encouragement. i really appreciate it. i am getting ready to go see "THE RAT and his lady friend" so i will be gone for a week. i am really hoping i will fit in the rides at Disney. everyone keeps telling me i will be fine, i guess i am just paranoid .. good luck next week! christine

when i click on journals (next to home, userCP, Gallery, etc) it basically just refreshes the page i am on. for instance, if i hit it now, the following link comes up: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=5# any idea when this can be changed? i really miss reading the journals. thanks!

faith, that is discouraging, isnt it? take in consideration you arent even banded yet ... with the band you will soar!!!

no official change for me this week ... i was up to 307ish, now back down to 305. didnt exercise Sun - Tues so no gain is a good thing. i continue to eat as best as i can ... next week is Disney. hopefully the pounds will just slide off of me since i will be walking so much. ha, yeah, right... pounds sliding off .. LMAO

Alex, sorry to hear about your gain. hopefully insurance will cover all of it.

only thread killer portion i see is who voted what. maybe if it was an anon poll, i'd vote... ??? not that it's a huge difference, but i dont need anyone's judgment.

Sheree, i've checked out your other posts and there have been replies to all of them. not sure where you are looking for replies, but they are there.

that is awesome! congratulations!!

well my trainer told me ... i have had very sore thighs since Monday or Tuesday. 24/7 borderline pain in my outside thigh muscles and they are ROCK hard. you can actually feel the knots in the muscles. even after working w/ Kari on stretching for 1/2 hour today and an hour massage, they are tender and knotty. i am going to have DH use my foam roll and stretch twice a day until Wednesday. i hope that helps.

congrats!!!

days i work out - 1400 - 1800 (burn 700 or more cals) days i do not work out - 1000 - 1200 good luck.

ok, i admit it ... i tried NutirSystem after banding - - for ONE DAY. i was sick of eating 'dog food' and just shipped it back. it tasted aweful. i'm sure there are a few things that taste good but i didnt want to waste the money. plus, with my workout schedule, i need at least 1400 cals a day or i actually gain weight. :phanvan good luck to anyone who chooses it though..

Pat, congrats on your loss and surgery!! i've worked out every day except Thursday. i am having 'issues' with my thighs. my trainer says i have 'overtrained' and i need to take a few days off. i had an hour massage today and that helped a bit, but i am going to take 3 days off. :phanvan THAT i do not like... but my overall health and well being is more important than 3 days of exercise. keep up the excellent work gals!!!

i PM'd lapbandit. she is ok, just busy.

that's one thing i am petrified of ... once i finally hit the 2's, i probably wont even get on the scale for a couple of weeks just in case ... i would probably completely go off the deep end if i went to 2's then back up to 3's ... even if it was just 1 pound!

YOU rock my socks!!! you are truly an inspiration!

Molly, sorry to hear about that! hopefully your fill will nip it in the bud! i cant imagine what i would do without my fill (ok, yeah, i can ... EAT and EAT and EAT ..)

Carol and Elisabeth (and everyone really), thanks so much for your support, i truly appreciate it. seeing everyone's stats gives me the extra little push that i need to (hopefully) drop the next set of pounds. the only problem - my legs are so sore and tight from that stupid elliptical that it literally hurts to walk ... :faint: my first name is Christine, btw. although i am HORRIBLE at remembering names. numbers no problem, names have always been an issue for me.

well, i am the perfect thread killer ... so here goes... i am sitting here bored at work and crying from laughing so hard. read every page here, the posts were great!!

Jacqui, i for one, have always admired you so much for your running. i just cant picture myself going there. granted i am less than 1/2 way to my goal. maybe when i hit about 250ish i can start. it just wrecks my knees and hips when i go on the treadmill for more than 4mph. you are doing fabulously!

Terri, congratulations - on the WL and the baby on the way. you have done an amazing job!

tann - you continue to amaze me. i, too, will weigh in on wednesday.

purple monkey - WOW 8 pounds in 4 days is amazing!! congratulations!
