lifelongband 0 Posted October 12, 2006 I would love to do the X-mas challenge, but I just can't weigh on Monday's. I seem to either not lose or gain if I weigh in on Mondays. I weigh on Wednesdays (the day of surgery) and I am down a pound or two. Today it was a pound. I don't know if I can do the X-mas challenge because I don't want to weigh on Mondays .

valgal1968 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Afternoon Kiddo's, Seems like we have a pretty good start with the weigh in. I'm sure many will post later today. Remember weigh in only once a week. Next Monday is weigh day and I'm sure you will all do great!! Drink your Water and sip sip sip! Avoid sugary Snacks and carbs when possible! "thats a danger zone for me!" I believe is all of you and know you will do GREAT!! P.S. if everyone meets goal that would equal a total loss of fat of a whopping 520-525lbs !!!!! I'm here if you need me!

mom of many 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Katt, I have you updated and I know what it's like driving long distances with family. It can be fun but sometimes you wish your brain would shut down. I'll post the list on Monday, after I recieve the weigh in's for the week. I do hope everyone the best on the challenge. Thought for the day: If you're feeling hungry, try a no or low sugar snack. frozen sugar free popcicles, sugar free Jello, or a small glass of skim milk with a 1/2 of a small banana. Might help hold you over till meal time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

em1125 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Hi all, I was scheduled for a fill today. However, yesterday someone posted rules for a good fill. I can't find it anywhere. One of the rules was not to get a fill right before or during your period. Today, I called my surgeon's office and told them that I just got my period today. They cancelled my fill until next week. If it wasn't for that person who posted the rules for a good fill, I wouldn't have known the information. Evidently, my surgeon's office agreed with this. It was an excellent article. If anyone read that post yesterday and remembers where I could find it, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
