Hey all, Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Bandida - Take care of yourself and still praying for a speedy recovery for you!

Oh now don't get me wrong here LapBand Fan (as I puff out my chest, flip my collar and rub my hair) I am a wonderful person.....to others. It is me that I don't always treat the best.

Positives

I love God.

I am awfully cute.

I can be the epitome of a people pleaser

I'm pretty good on the computer and type pretty fast.

Negatives-I'm trying to quit LOL

These are all wonderful but where are my weight and measurements....HELLO

[Josette 2]

I need to find a measuring tape.

I didn't weigh myself this morning. I'm trying to get over my scale addiction

I need a measuring tape too:rolleyes:

Josette that sounds like an excuse. What was your weight the last time you weighed. I weigh in on Tuesdays so I am reporting last weeks weight.

Tann- come on now, don't follow Josette.

Tape measure- borrow one or wal mart has them in the fabric section. Yep go measure yourself in the store this evening. LMBO OK whenever you get one.

Until then get a string or cord and wrap it around you mark it and then take a ruler and measure that.

I am hangin in! I plan an exercise video tonight. Richard Simmons anyone? I really don't care 4 him, but sweatin to the oldies is all I have!! :rolleyes I need to invest.

Hey all,

Weekend was good....stayed home all weekend though cuz of TOM. I'm hoping that will wrap up in a couple days. Weight is still the same as last week....UGH.

I didn't eat a ton because I was feeling like crap. I'm going to do my measurements tonight if I can find my tape measure other wise I will go out and buy one in the morning.

Going to have a bath....talk to you all later.

[avilla 1]

I am absolutely loving everyones lists that they are making...I was really hoping and praying that everything on the negative sides could be something that we all could work on and improve ourselves and so far so good...These are all things that we alone notice and dislike and we are the only ones that can change them and totally be happy and in love with ourselves...I am still working on my list...

Todays:

20 ounces of orange flavored water

8 ounces chocolate whey(breakfast)

2 ounces tuna salad and 1 ounce cottage cheese (lunch)

1/2 a grilled pork chop and some kind of veggie (planned dinner)

48 ounces of Water (so far)

30 minute workout on my gazelle

Thanks Turner and great job with the exercise and your resolve with the cake and ice cream is amazing. Smile when you say you are busy at work. This means you don't have time to munch and snack.< /p>

Time2live have you ever thought about the depo shots to stop you period? Do you get prescription meds to help ease TOM? I'm glad it's almost over for you. We have the same band day, not date but day. I was banded July 8 2005. You are doing great with your weight lost. Just keep at it. I would exercise really good for a while then stop for a few months and then start again. I wasted valuable time doing that.

[avilla 1]

My list (work in process)

Positives:

1/I love everyone

2/Im getting cuter as the days go by (LOL)

3/I am a great mother, daughter and wife

4/I am a very good planner

5/I have a wondeful job

6/I am a very caring and personable person

Negatives:

1/I talk way too much

2/Im too big (but working on it)

3/I have a problem with wanting to be in "charge"

4/I want to make all the choices when it comes to my son without asking my husband

5/I put other peoples needs before my own way too many times

I am still working on some more to add to both but right now im drained...lol

I myself had huge issues with the depo and my band not getting alot at all due to the estrogen...But they put me on a nonestrogen iud call minerva and so far so good

[okiefamily 0]

The depo shot made me a psycho. I was so bitchy and so uninterested in sex that it put a real strain on my rel. with my hubby. I read somewhere that depo is what they give criminal sex offenders to chemically castrate them. And I gained about 60 pounds. I did like not having a period though, that was nice.

I am in need of some form of birth control until hubby gets snipped but I so do not want to do hormones. Can you tell me more about your IUD. What is it like to have it implanted and do you have any side effects?

[kareyquilts 1]

Weighing In: Zero loss! Exercised 5 times out of 7, averaged 1100 calories/day. Oh Well!

Will have to measure later.
