May 2007 Banders

Sign me up too! I have 24 more lbs to go until I can go see a PS for a consult. You would think that would be enough motivation for me. But I had a nasty affair with kit kats and choc. M&M's this weekend. I can say no to cake, because it makes me sick. However chocolate goes down just fine! I wouls like to loose 20 lbs and be at the 100 mark by Memorial Day! Then be at goal 165 by my B-day June 30th. One of my major problems is I can only eat about 6 bites until I get hiccups and am done eating. Then about 3 hours later I am hungry and go for snacking (M&Ms)..........

Twinmommy...

What is the process for being pre qualified for PS? Who sets the goal weight to say you can see a PS? I'm just curious... I mean...even if I do hit goal... I'm gonna wait for PS until after we have a baby...

NSV!

I was in a clothing shope here that was haveing a big clearance sale and thought I would get a few chear items that fit. (I don't want to spend alot on things I do not intend to wear long) Was looking through one of the stand of clothes and a sales lady came up to me and said "You should look over there, you look like a size 6 and there are some real cute size 6 pants that are a very good price" I just smiles and said "THANKS". Now I am not a size six YET, and she might of just been nice trying to make a sale. I dont care.........I loved it. But I did buy a very cute pair of size 8.....to wear until I fit into those size 6 that I also got (at a very good price).

You could probably go see one anytime. That is just what I have personally set for myself. I feel like after that, the rest will have to be cut off and tightened up. I wouldn't go until after the baby also. But I have had three kiddos and two C's 19 months apart. There is only so much the gym can do.

OK guys... I need some words of encouragement...

I've worked out (cardio only) the past 3 days...only ate what I'm supposed to..been getting all of my Water in... and the scale only moved .8 lbs!!! UUGGHHH!!!!!!

AND still no TOM... a week late... no worries...test was negative today. I'm miserable though... awful mood swings... I cried while watching the biggest loser last night!! Like full on sobbing!!!

My willpower is getting better though... yesterday the big boss brought in some donuts and donut holes... I stayed clear!! I even told my friend at work if she saw me going for them to trip me!!! Wouldnt that have been a sight!!!!

LauraP... I tried to post a message to you yesterday..guess it didnt take.. BUT....

AWESOME FOR YOU!!!

How thrilled were you by buying a size 8... but someone pushing you towards size 6!!! I dont ever recall in my adult life being below a size 10. I'm curvy.... and even at a size 10 my face was very thin...and still had the butt and boobs.... so I'm not expecting to get below that size... but OMG.. if I did... I think everyone would know!! I'd wear the darn pants inside out so everyone could see they were a size 8!!!! HA!!!!

OK... one last post then I'm getting ready for work.... haha....

I was in "pre band class" with a guy I went to high school with... really nice guy... it made me feel much better knowing that someone I knew would be going thru the same thing I was... anyhow... We are still in touch via myspace... he was banded in July...and is down 125!!!! how amazing is that?!? Then I found out that the girl I've been getting close with at work is his sister!!! Delaware is WAY too small... haha... I have told her that I'm also banded so she is keeping tabs on me.. making sure I'm getting my Water in... and keeping me away from the snack table.. she's a health nut so she's pretty good at keeping me on track!

have a good day everyone!! And remember when you go to reach for the junk food... MEMORIAL DAY CHALLANGE!!!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!

[GREATFUL 24]

Thanks Melissa, it is wonderful. Have them 8's on today!!!

I never got the message, don't know what is up with that. Oh, like you I have been doing all good with my food and working out the past 3 day, got on the scales this AM and it was up .5 lbs. Oh well, just telling myself I am building muscles.

Great idea for a challenge! Thanks!

Ahhhh, restriction.

4cc in my band, and I can feel the welcome pressure again. Better yet, doc has cleared me to start weight lifting again. Time to move the metal and move the number.
