Central Ohio Get Together - February 13, 2010

[SpecialK 22]

The invitation is open to all! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Friends and family members are also welcome to join us for these meetings. The more the merrier!

Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday February 13, 2010

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store in the back corner seating area next to Chik-Fil-A. If we're not there look for a large group of folks sitting at several tables pushed together in the areas on either side of the Great Indoors... that's usually us :-)

Hope to see you there!

I'll be there! I am on day three of wearing my new BodyBugg so hopefully I'll have some good thoughts and info to share!

[SpecialK 22]

My replacement BodyBugg just came Friday and I had it on charging yesterday and plan to get it going today with the help line guy. So I should also have my info by the 13th to share. I have to tell you, while it was not working I have gotten hooked on using the DailyPlate food and exercise tracker so I am not sure which I will keep using for the food tracking for Calories Eaten vs Calories Burned.

Oh Yay! I have something similar to the body bugg and I'd love to compare. I haven't found anyone else that uses them yet.

Kath,

I am still using The Daily Plate and then transfering the calorie counts to the BB site because their journal sucks IMO. What I did was set up a generic food called Calorie (x10) and made it worth 10 calories. Then I use 12 servings of that to journal 120 calories worth of food etc... by keeping it at 10 calories I didn't have to fill out the fat/sodium or other fields on the form. It's worked great. TDP tracks my nutrients and I can journal from my phone, and I can still see my numbers as far as deficit and burn on the BB site.

BTW... 3 days in and I'm down 4.4 pounds! Whoo!

Oh and I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me try your wrist display for a week or so (if you can bear to part with it) at some point so I can decide if I want to spend the $80 to buy it. I keep getting mixed reviews from all of my reading as to whether it's worth it.

Also, I did add you on a private email on FB for my friends with the BB... not sure if you got any of the messages or not.

============================

Melissa... do you have the Go Wear Fit?

Melissa... do you have the Go Wear Fit?

Yep, I sure do. I have had it for about two or three months now. I like it but it took me a little while to get the targets right. I don't upload my food into their journal either I use an app on my iphone to track daily calories and just enter the total at the end of the day. Much easier. I'll have to check out the Daily Plate, several folks have recommended and my little sis was looking for something online to use.

[SpecialK 22]

Hello to all my snowbound Columbus lapband friends...okay so it isn't that bad but I still think we should check in here on Saturday before noon-ish to see what the weather holds for us if the next storm comes thru and makes for more shoveling out.

[HeatherA 1]

I don't think the weather will be a factor at all. We're not supposed to get any more snow until Sunday/Monday or later. Forcast is for very cold but sunny! I'm ready for a snow break!

See you Saturday!!!

[SpecialK 22]

Yes, that's right, just snow flurries so I'll definitely be at the mall for our get together.

[Meliwriter 9]

I'll be there too! Can't wait to meet everyone in person. If I'm late look for the confused looking black girl wandering about the food court!:thumbdown:

[sweetbean70 2]

It was GREAT meeting all of you today! As someone who hasn't yet been banded a year, it was truly inspiring meeting those banders who have been successful and gaining their wisdom and advice.

Jo and I are looking forward to seeing you all again next month!

Hi Special K! Would you please send me another Yahoo Invite? I didn't realize that the invite would be in the Spam folder and I deleted it. Thanks!
