July Butterflies Master Thread

[kimaly 57]

So depressed, I lost my wedding rings.:thumbup: I guess they just slipped off my finger while I was out and about yesterday due to the weightloss. It's my own fault I knew they were really loose, The DH said not to worry because we would get new ones but he just doesn't understand no ring in the world can replace them not even the hope diamond.:thumbup: They were more then just rings to me. It really hurts my heart. Doesn't really have anything to do with the band but you girls are great about letting me vent.

It's my own fault I knew they were really loose, The DH said not to worry because we would get new ones but he just doesn't understand no ring in the world can replace them not even the hope diamond.:ohmy: They were more then just rings to me. It really hurts my heart. Doesn't really have anything to do with the band but you girls are great about letting me vent.

I completly understand trust me I am so sorry u losted them.

yes, shakes and vitamins.......and lots of Water and fluids. I think he said I will get to ketosis so the weight should come off fast. I guess it will go week by week. I just know I am on the fast track which is all shakes. The slower one is two shakes and two meals. I will give you the info when I start. I know this is going to be hard at first.

Well keep us posted and great luck :thumbup:

Okay ladies day 1 in my back in action plan I weighed and updated my tickers

I was 211 now 214. So I am going to do a modified liquids meaning shakes and Soups I have trouble just doing shakes

this morning I have had a serving of v8 and a serving of v8 fusion to get my vegs and fruit I woke up and my sugar was 58 which is way to low. I am having 1 cup coffee right now with splenda. I need my coffee or I am in trouble. I have some Unjury shakes and adkins advantage shakes and a bunch of different soups low cal to get me through this week. I have a awful headache right now but I am trying to do this right get my water and exercise. I am taking it slow. Last night I realized I will be at my 2 yr aniversary in July and I don't want to be stuck here.

Kimaly, I am so sorry you lost your rings.......get a metal detector and try to find them. My friend does that for a hobby and has found a lot of priceless treasures for people.

Okay, Melissa, I will keep you posted. Meanwhile, I am doing a shake a day......I may start doing two a day. Weaning off of food to shakes might be better for me.

[kimaly 57]

Thank you ladies, I don't think a metal detector will work. I'm almost sure I lost them at the day spa when I was getting my eyes touched up. maybe a shake down would work better but I just don't think I'd get away with it. I told my BF and she laughed(I am so ready to cut her off for good) What kinda friend is that? I hope you ladies do well, I would think weening yourself off the food would be a tad bit easier then just going in it full force. A year in a 1/2 later I still have trouble getting my Water in.And lets not forget the exercise I keep starting and stopping. But I think my weightloss has been pretty steady, about a pound a week on average since the last fill. I just hope it keeps on like that. I'm sure it's up to me. Check in tomarrow with weekly weigh in.

Kimaly, I am sorry to hear about your rings. It is the downside of weightloss, but the only one I can think of. If I were you, I would call the day spa. It is possible someone turned it in and they don't know who it belongs to.

Well, I am headed to the gym in a little bit....Yes, I said gym. I have been going since my new "angel" arrived in my class. I find that it relieves some stress. I have worked out everyday since last Monday, except Friday because I planned with my partner teacher after school until 10pm. I joked with my principal that I may have to give the little stinker a thank you card when this is all over with. :thumbup:

[kimaly 57]

Crzy, Thank you for your concern. I have been calling, I think they are starting to get annoyed. Or maybe they just think I'm some kinda nut (lol) If that child is so bad , Why don't they put him in alturnitive school? I know around here they're quick to put them there if they disrupt class to often.

OK, Tuesday weigh in and 1 more lb down. I finely met a goal I set for myself. New goal is to get to finale goal weight by 2nd bandaversary. I've got to get into an exercise routine, I've got to learn to motavate my brain. I manage to get to the tanning salon every other day but sad to say not the gym. I guess it's time to get my priorities in order.

jUST PUTTIN THIS OUT IN CYBER SPACE! getting kinda lonely on this thread. Well, I cut my best friend off today. I guess you could say we broke up. I just came to the conclusion that she is the last negitive thing in my life. always negitive about anything good that happens to me and last straw she's cheating on her husband(My good friend) that she pushed onto marrying her because as she put it she just wanted a wedding, Did I mention he's 30 yrs her senior. anyway I put up with the abortion behind his back back. baby belong to a black guy so no way she could pass it off as his. I know I sound like a horrible best friend telling her secrets but i can no longer indulge her behavior. She says I just think I'm the shit shit since i've lost weight but I just think I've grown as a whole. I think I've takin control over my life now and I just don't have room for anyones negitivity anymore as I am trying to live in a positive world. Did I mention she laughed when I lost my wedding rings! She said serves me right for being too proud of them. Anyone else having problems with old friends since you've changed your life?

Good for you. Don't you remember me telling you about my best friend that lost 120lbs and transfered her food addiction to "second life". We used to talk everyday, shop together, eat together.....we shared good and bad times. Now, she is only nice to me when I can haul her across town to the doctor. I do think she thinks she is a good friend......NOT! I care about what happens to her and I will be there for her, but I am no longer her option and she sure ain't my priority. I have too many other family and friends that care about me. I never would have thought she would have become addicted to gaming online.

I am glad you took that step. You don't need that negativity for you new journey. She is on a path of destruction and so is my friend.

Well, tuesday is the day. I start the new plan.

Sorry, I haven't been on in awhile.....I will check in more often. I am here for you!

[kimaly 57]

yes now that you remind me I do remember.I'm glad I have you girls because ya'll understand where I'm comming from. But as mad as I get and as much as I know it needs to be done there is still a since of loss.:sad:I guess it's just another part of my journey. Not just bettering my health but bettering my life.

[crzytchr 3]

Getting rid of the nastiness in your life is a good thing, cuz with friends like that who needs enemies? Jeez. And, furthermore, you deserve to think you are the shit now. You have accomplished a lot. Don't keep anyone around you who isn't supportive. It just isn't worth it.

That sucks losing a friend but if they are acting nasty to you then you need to move on and don't let there nasty's bring you down. You are awesome and we all care about you on this board. It is crazy how people changed for the bad when we got better

Thank all of you so much. And Charlene, wishing you luck on the start of your new diet today, I'll be thinking of you.

Hey Ladies,

Went to the Dr Today he said I was doing well we took out the .4cc he put in the band in Jan too much reflux and soft food syndrome and pbing. I feel better. I was honest and said I have not really been exercising so he said I need to do at least 30 minutes a day and 1000 calories or less to keep losing but no more than 1200 if I am exercising a lot. I said I fell off the wagon so to speak and he encouraged me to get back on so back to writing in a journal the thing I hate doing with a passion. Thanks ladies for all your help with everything I am experiencing I could not make it this far without you.

Charlene how are you doing today?

I am glad you got some out. If you have too much fill you will start eating sliders. Sounds like we are on the same amount of calories and exercise. I think I will be doing 800 calories with the shakes.....gonna start tomorrow.

I had a rough weekend. The weather changed on saturday and I spent a day of IBS and then yesterday it was my back. Today, it is cool and sunny......so I am doing much better. I haven't got results from the ct scan on my stomach. I am sure it was a flare up of adhesions coupled with the Fibromyalgia.

I will check in tomorrow after my first weight loss session with the doctor.

[kimaly 57]

Tuesday weigh in: 1 more pound gone, I will take it. I'm happy with 1lb at a time!
