Thanks HeatherGurl! I kinda thought my post got buried. I've been looking online and the halter suits seem to jump out at me too. I'll head to Old Navy this afternoon!! Thanks sooo much!!

Welcome Jucyc!! Hope you do well with the challenge

Lins, I stopped keeping a journal cause nothing changes LOL I should get back into the habit of keping one.

Kristin I think a halter top would work well too. Or maybe a tankini. If you do not like your back, cover it! And I think something that plunges in the front may help to camoflage any flatness you feel you have. Also, go for a solid color. Prints make us look heavier. Nothing wrong with a little black bathingsuit

Question: through journaling I have figured out that my BAD spot is between lunch and dinner. I get to I feel like I "deserve something" and I just get a weird urge. Any ideas on how to conquer this battle? At least I have narowed it down.

Kristin,

I went through the DREADED bathing suit shopping recently and got the cutest suit. It is very simple but VERY flattering. I also got a cute little skirt to wear with it. Looks darling. I got it at Target. Here are the links:

Lins this is one of my downfall times too. I like to have a small Protein Drink, or some small Protein rich food around this time. The protein helps to keep me feeling full, and it does not cost me valuable calories. I also drink a lot of Water during this time. The water makes me feel ful, as well as the running to the bathroom constantly keeps me out of the kitchen LOL

Maybe boost your lunch with Protein. What are you having for lunch now? Perhaps you are getting hungry before dinner because Breakfast and lunch were "light". Many people seem to eat lighter in the mornings and graduate to the big meal of the day at dinner time. If that's you, try eating a "heavier" lunch and see if it takes away the urges.

If that's not the case... then perhaps it's boredom? What are you doing between lunch and dinner? If it is boredom, try to think of something you could do that would keep you busier. Like walk or exercise. (I'm a good one to talk.. Ive been so bad at that part of this journey!) hehe

Love the swimsuit. Very classic.

P'Nut - I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for fixing my pictures so they post right ....you do so MUCH for everyone - a big shout out to YOU!!!

[legallyKristin 0]

Thank you all soo much for the great ideas! I got the halter one at Old Navy and the black one with the skirt from Target! Ya'll are too good!

Tomorrow I go for my 3 month follow-up appointment. I'm kinda excited because I'm going to get an unfill. I've been throwing up on and off for the past week. I think I'm still too tight.

Those of you with 4cc bands- how much fill do you have?????? I weigh 222 am 5'6" and have 1.8cc in a 4cc band. I would like some taken out, but I don't want to lose all restriction. I tried to stick it out with being too tight because I didn't want to pay $100 again to get some taken out, but since I'm going to the beach this weekend for a wedding, I figure better safe than sorry...plus this last week has been miserable. I'm throwing up Gatorade today.

Anywhoo...thanks for listening, ya'll are the best!

Okay I'm back! I've lost 3 lbs, starting weight was 237 and just went to the Dr. and was 234! Starting REAL pre-op diet in about a week, for now just low-cal low-fat and lots of Water. All of your suggestions about www.FitDay.com were great! It really helps you realize how much more calories you eat and to stay on track.

Dr. said I have cervical and lower back whiplash...told me to take it easy until I get better but I'm still going to at least walk...

PNut you have got to tell me how you did the "shrinking" picture. How cool is that!! I'm a (sort of) computer geek...don't know that much but when I see something I don't know about I just have to learn!

[HeatherGurl 0]

Kristin~ I am so glad that you found something!!! Remind me where you are from??? You said that you are going to a wedding in Galveston? So I guess you are from TX?

Keep up the good work guys! I am sticking with it this month!

Need to tell you guys something funny... Last night I was messing around sucking on hubby's neck and just goofing around. (Neither of us think hickey's are an attractive thing) Well, he went to work today and forgot all about it.... he had a small one on his neck... but big enough for the guys at work to notice. Boy, did they give him a hard time hahhahhaaa, he said he was going to get me tonight... guess I better be asleep before he comes to bed!
