January Bandsters???

tonya66 · June 26, 2007

Bump............

I don't like us to be on the last page, its too hard to find the thread. lol, so I'm bumping us! Where are all the January bandsters?

tonya66 · June 26, 2007

We have all these January Bandsters - but they seem to have vanished. This is just a list, there have been more that wanted to be added to the list, however, it never would let me update my original post - so I never added them to the list. But, they are still members of the January Band crew. But where is everyone? Come in and check in. We are all coming up on our 6 month anniversary, we need some updates.

Whether your doing great, or you don't feel your doing great, come check in, maybe someone can help. Maybe you hate the band, thats okay too, check in and tell us how you are doing. please?

I feel a lot like her, the band helps me NOT GAIN, when I have splurged in the past, it forced me to stop, and I can see its a great tool. However, in order to lose, you have to work with the band.

That's so true. The band is just keeping me from getting totally out of control. The dieting and losing weight is still all up to me. Stress from work has been taking its toll on me these past couple of weeks. I ate a huge brownie yesterday and could have kicked myself afterward. Oh well, today's a new day, and I'll try to do better.

tonya66 · June 26, 2007

enterprise01 - the thing I am trying to do is not beat up myself for having a brownie, every once in a great while, its a treat on rare occasions. Aren't we entitled to a treat every great while?

We are so programmed from all of our "diet" days that we cannot eat a brownie, if we do, we failed.

I have to say, I now disagree. We can have a brownie, and still be successful. That does not mean we eat brownies everyday or even every week, but 1 x a month or so is not bad. And we don't go over board, we eat in moderation.

The band is teaching me that very thing, MODERATION. Something I had no knowledge of before the band. Instead of eating 1 brownie, I would eat the entire pan, or at least 1/2 of it and wash it down with a cold glass of milk.

Also, going out to eat - I would eat my entire mexican meal, and pretty much lick the plate and still want more! Now I've learned the meaning of moderation, its such a life altering experience for me. It's like a light bulb is going off in my head. I am learning to say, "no thank you, I'm not hungry" vs. not being hungry and eating anyway.

So, you had a brownie, like you said, today is a new day.

Sorry to hear your stressed, I've been a bit stressed myself with work.

Sula · June 26, 2007

Hey no kicking self for a brownie..not allowed!! Remember the days of eating the plate of brownies? I DO!! I'm happy when I can limit myself to a "normal" portion. I consider that success! My standard of success will get more ridgid as I lose more weight..it will have too. I'll have to be way more consistent in my exercise and track my calories better. It will become more difficult as I reach my goal weight so I will have to be even more dilligent...but I don't think I'll give up brownies...or any food group. Altho I rarely eat bread anymore, once in a while I have a bite.

My DH just informed me (after a weekend being sick with diarreah and very achy) that he "brought home leptospirios". However and whatever that is...public health is going to be checking out where he got it and how he gave it to me. I feel fine today physically...and had a milder case than him.

In any case, I maintained my eating and stepped up my drinking to compensate for any dehydration. I think I did eat a bit less that typcial as I didn't feel good and I certainly wasn't as active as usual...I did some sprinting to the bathroom!! But I'm down 4 pounds for the past two weeks..after my TOM so I'm feeling pretty good.

Lets keep us on the first page, huh? Where are all you January Bandsters...we wanna update.

Shawn

tonya66 · June 26, 2007

Shawn - man, I hope your okay. Leptospirios is a horrilbe bacteria and can cause a lot of pain. I know dogs get it quite often but it can be very dangerous for humans.

Have you guys been out of the country lately? Carribean? Or white Water rafting? I know these are common places people get this bacteria.

I've got a little information on it, if you want to PM me with your email, I can email the attchment to you.

Sula · June 27, 2007

I used to know how to do PM's on here but I can't seem to make it work or I can't recall how to do that..but I would like the info. We are on the mend....I think the DH had it worse and he is better today. I didn't feel all that bad other than achy and the aerobic runs to the bathroom. Really, fellow bandsters...I think it qualifies as exercise... I'm going to count it..since I didn't do much else. :confused:

Shawn

5jacks · June 27, 2007

O.K.....I have to share what happened tonight!! My son's baseball tournament started tonight, we're at my husbands high school town so we know quite a few people. One of my husbands buddies from school saw us walking across the feild and when we got over by him he says something like, " man, Lisa, I almost didn't recognize you!" Then went on to say that I was looking great and gave me a thumbs up. Two other people basically said the same things! I could have just floated out of the park!! It just seems very strange for a man and a friend of the hubbies to say good things about me. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, were you uncomfortable or loving every minute of it?!?!? By the way, my son caught a foul ball that was the last out of the game and they won.....it was such a great night!!!

Shawn, sorry to hear your not feeling well. I say when you're sick, any exercise, ever so slight, is still exercise!!

juno610 · June 27, 2007

Shawn - Hope you are feeling better today! That sounds horrible!

Lisa - Isn't that a great feeling! I will admit it is hard to get used to. I swear someone new comes up to me every day at work and tells me how good I look. This has been especially hard lately because I gained back 5lbs. I have learned to just say "Thanks!"

Sunshine - you hit the nail on the head -- the band teaches MODERATION! It is so true! Sometimes I can't believe what I leave on my plate and it really makes me think about how much I used to be able to eat. Scary!

Well girls, I'm off to have lunch with a friend who is also banded. Cheap date! :confused:

Maria

Sula · June 27, 2007

Hi all,

Thanks for the well wishes...I'm mostlly okay..a bit of a relapse today and I don't feel as well as yesterday but it isn't slowing me down.

Lisa, that is so terrific. I really don't hear much from people about any changes but I can feel them. I get stuck on the idea that since I've lost 44 pounds I should be down in clothing sizes more, but that just isn't happening. I am wearing some smaller clothing and some of my 20's are huge and I don't wear them anymore cuz I look dumpy...HA. You know what I really love...44DDD to 42DD...my boobs are not getting to the room minutes before the rest of me!!

Shawn

tonya66 · June 27, 2007

Shawn - heck yes that counts as exercise! lol. I emailed you an article I had saved on my computer, and I am looking for some more info on it, I'm sure I have it on my computer - somewhere.

Lisa - You Go Girl! Look how far you have come! That is so great. I am mixed about compliments, sometimes I find it hard to take (I still see myself as very fat), and other times they make me feel so good and I simply say "thank you". Today my old boss walked by me and then stopped in his tracks, and said "Man, you are really getting skinny", this made me feel good because I was down today about the scales not moving. I know i'm just going thru a dry spell and I need to ride it out. But sometimes it does get you down. But I'm over it now.

Maria - lol, thats what my DH calls me now, a cheap date. lol Thats so great that you have a friend that is actually banded! I know people who are banded, but we're not really close, so I don't feel like I can talk to them. Most of my friends have had the RNY.

UPDATE ON MY BFL CHALLENGE - I was going thru a very big slump, I hadn't missed 1 single workout, then during my 8th week, I just kind of went thru the motions, my 9th week, I missed THREE sessions. I was totally not motivated at all. Monday started my 10th week and totally got my MOJO back. I've put 110% effort into this week and I think I'm already seeing some more results. I actually am starting to feel some ab muscle. Wow - I will be on cloud nine if I can actually get a 6 pack.

I've decided that I'm doing the challenge for 12 weeks, taking a little break (maybe a week which is what BFL recommends), then I'm going to do another challenge. I think it will take me 3 or maybe 4 challenges to get my body I want.

I was checking myself out the other day, I'm down 70 lbs and still no problem in the stomach area with hanging skin. I honestly dont think I will need a Tummy Tuck. HOWEVER, my thighs are a different story. The skin seems to be sagging there. I am probably going to have to have a thigh lift - but we'll see after I lose these last 30 lbs.

Everyone, have a wonderful day.

tonya66 · June 27, 2007

You know what I really love...44DDD to 42DD...my boobs are not getting to the room minutes before the rest of me!!
Shawn

Oh Shawn - too funny (about the boobs getting to the room minutes before the rest of you) lol.

However, would you like to share what your losing? I've always been a 38 C, seems I'm slipping into the B's now. Not quite, but getting closer to a B than a C. I'm wearing a 36C today and it is slightly too big I think. I'm going to have to go and get professionally measured and find out what size I need. I'm kinda dumb in this area.

Oh man, as I was typing this, the hospital called and said they had to reschedule my fill. DARN IT. I've been trying to get a fill since MAY! This is the 2nd time they have to move it. But its only a few days - they are changing my appointment from July 2nd to July 6th. They better not call and cancle it or I will really jump thru the phone and ring their necks! I need my fill - I need to lose 10 more lbs darn it. I leave for my cruise August 4th and I was hoping to get to 169 before the cruise - its been my goal since January - and these stupid fill doctors are blowing it for me, lol.

Okay, no sense getting agry over it, nothing that I can do will change it, so I'm just going to have to deal with it.

Well, I'm off to do some work, talk to you girl later.

Hi Everyone,

I have been away from this site for a few months and I am soooo glad I'm back. I haven't lost any weight for the last two months and my DH said "it's time for you to get back online and get some support". I am maintaining but I keep having little slips here and there which keep me from losing. I see my doctor in August and I know he will give me hell if I haven't lost any weight. Help, help! Someone mentioned a challenge they are doing? What is it? I need someone to challenge me!

I've lost 40 pounds and I have 40 to go. My daughter's wedding is October 19th. and I would like to be a little closer to goal before then.

Edie

I'm doing the Body-For-Life challenge by Bill Phillips - Body-for-LIFE - its mainly exercise and eating clean foods. You do get one cheat day a week with the program, however, I rarely take it. I usually might do a cheat meal,but not an entire day. You don't see results until around the 8th week and man, do you start seeing them.

Okay - lets figure out whats going on with your weight stall? How much can you eat? Do you think its time for a fill? Or are you just choosing the wrong foods? Your doctor should not be mad at you for not losing weight, but concerned to help you, that is what he is there for.

Now on the bright side, YOU HAVE LOST 40 LBS! Go pick up a 40 lb weight and see how much that is, that is A LOT! Congratulations! Be proud - you are 50% to goal, that is great!

Check in with us, let us know what your eating, how much your eating etc. this will help us - help you.
