Recommended Posts

Did three miles on treadmill Monday and will do three again today when I get home from work.

I went to Curves but they said I have to wear a Sports Bra if I want to join. Whats up with that...

Looks like everyone is off to a good start. Lets tough it up ladies and gentleman. and keep it up. Jan third may not be till next year but we can make it.

Lisa. Hmmm want a mans point of view on how to keep the food out while traveling???

Ok since you said yes...here it is.. "Duct Tape". Can't put it in if you can't get it open. (stay focused here folks no comments)

What's up with the gag order? Hmm..... Duct tape, indeed. :D

I will be swimming laps today when I take 5 kids to the movies and the pool. Am I nuts or what??? I used to have a day care home, but I was under 30 then. We'll see if my old grandma bones can keep up. :)

FINE! I tredged through frozen sleet and hail the size of golfballs ploughing through 6 foot snow drifts... walked to the park then did TWO laps around (nice walking trail around my park.) I nearly died of frostbite JUST FOR YOU PEOPLE. Well, there really wasn't any snow or hail, but I think I saw some fog on the windshields.

So now Greg is wearing a sports bra with his g-string?

Shopped on line for 2 hours, hung out in lapbandtalk forum for a while, building up quite a lot of strength in the right hand. Ewwww I hate to exercise, but I know I gotta do it. I was walking up and down the stairs, WAS.

PS..bought 2 Christmas presents and 9 new items for my house, free shipping, JCPENNEY....code word..THNKFS...don't tell anybody.

Thanks, Leatha. It's pretty hard to get all geared up for exercise, but once I get moving I do pretty good. My mutts LOVE the walk!

Maybe our dogs should join the challenge. My pudgy Lab mix could definitely afford to lose a few pounds, and she's loving the extra hour of squirrel chasing each morning.

My big dog needs a band. He got a can of cashews off the table and managed to chew the top off and eat the entire contents. Last year he ate a 2 pound box of See's candy that was wrapped under the tree without even disturbing one glass ornament (and ate most of the box and ribbon, too.)

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

    • 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
