    How much does a mile counter usually cost?

    I bought just a pedometer that you wear on your waistline from Meijer and wound up taking it back (@ $20), it was not accurate. What I've done now is with the car, I measured how far certain points are where I walk, so I know when I've walked a 1/2 mile or a mile, etc. I usually walk a mile to a mile and a half each night, then do that twice on the weekends . .. everyone is different. And when I started walking, I could only walk 1/4 mile . ..so do what you can do. Good luck!

    I Can't Shake this Weight!!

    What a frustration, I am sorry. But keep the faith and keep in contact with your nutritionist. I hope the next fill really does what you need. Try to not get discouraged, although it is understandable. Remember, this is just a short phase on the long journey . . .**hugs**
  7. Thanks for connecting Linda, and 30 pounds off is a great thing. Keep the faith!

    Weekend Challenges

    This is the part where we KNOW that we did not take the "easy way out" or that we are a "cheater" (as someone called me last week - can you imagine?), but it is still work and still requires a tremendous amount of will power - you did it and you have it -- good for you!

    Approved!!!!!!!!

    Yeah! We've all felt the fears, but this is so totally worth it. Best wishes and keep us posted on your progress.
  15. This sounds delicious Debra. I love roast pork and the cumin and dried fruit sounds like a winning combination. Thanks!

    Perhaps it is time

    Thanks for your post. I was banded 7/15 and also have not had a fill..when I saw my doctor we didn't even discuss it because I'm just doing well and not hungry until it's meal time. I wondered how I would know when it's time for a fill. I've followed your posts each time you've gone for a scheduled fill and then decided to not have the fill. I appreciate reading about the changes you're experiencing. Good luck with your upcoming decision and let us know how it goes for sure!

    HEALTHY111 said it exactly right . . . every day should get a little better, but walking and GASX are very beneficial. Best wishes!
