October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, are you ready to start the new year? I am excited on what is to come. JDru I haven't noticed the stretch marks looking bigger but I have noticed my stomach seems jigglier (sp). I guess that means that I need to start exercising, like I should of been doing all along. I'm going to do my weekly weigh in tomorrow, I hope that the scales decides to go down this week, for some reason it liked to stay in one spot for the past two weeks... hmm I don't know why.:heh:

Happy New Year to all my fellow Oct Bandsters. 2007 will be a great year for us! Many of us will hit our goal weight, but we will all continue to lose weight and become healthier. That is a wonderful gift.

Here is my weigh in for the Valentine's Day Challenge. Down 2, 13 more to go!

I can't believe it! It took a nastey head cold, to clear my head, so that I could figure out how to put my ticker up on the board. Unreal. Boy do I feel bad, "and DUMB!!!" Shirley...

It figures that I am the only one who has the obvious stretch marks. Ha ha! They aren't really bigger, just more noticeable.

Yay Shirley...you got your ticker to work and you've lost 142 pounds in just over a year!!

So I weighed in this morning for our challenge and I'm down 1.4 pounds. I feel like I'm losing SO slowly, but at least I haven't really gained over the holidays...I certainly couldn't say that last year! I have a feeling that this week will be great for me, I really need to get back on track.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!

Well, I just got back from the gym and am down 2 lbs. towards the Valentine's weight loss challenge. I have also exercised 4 times this week. That's a miracle. I feel really motivated right now and it has alot to do with all my October bandbabies. Thanks for the encouragement and keep up the good work. HAPPY NEW YEAR :cocktail:

Happy New Years friends!

i dusted off my elliptical and tried to do my 20 minutes... I only made 15 minutes before wanting to throw myself down the stairs! man that machine kicks my butt. i did about 8 minutes of stretching and my 3pound hand weights too but... its that machine i wanted to tackle. i bought a headphone extension so i can watch something on my laptop while using my machine.

maybe if i give it a few minutes and try to get those last 5 minutes in ...

Wow!!!! talk about a shock, listen to this.

When I first started on my weight loss journey, 10/05 I wore a 5x "and in stretch pants of course." Today I went back to work,"after a week off." and noticed that my pants were kinda baggy. So, into the smaller size cloths I went. I can't believe it

i'm in a size 18. I haven't worn that in years. So I looked in the Mirror, and these Jeans look great. I no it's not like a size 2 or 4 or something like that, but wow what a difference. I can finally say Shirley, your'e starting to look damn good. Just thought I would share this moment with you all.

Shirley:amen:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
