Doggone scales just will not move. I am maxed out on exercise I am willing to do and have been on a low cal diet (1000cal) and don't need a fill. Just started with a personal trainer so am hopeful the scales will start moving soon.

they will dont give up!! I just wish I had the gumption to even start exercising... sigh I am such a slacker...:rolleyes2:

Thanks, MollyJo, for the encouragement. Everytime I try to rest for a few seconds the trainer won't let me, it is pretty comical. I, too, am a slacker,LOL!!! She gives homework assignments too!!!!

Cholesterol was 220 on my last blood test. I know all the meats, eggs and cheese we eat is probably not cholesterol friendly. I need to commit to exercise, that would help.

Hey gals and guys, at first exercise seems so evil and believe me I never understood ow people said, exercise gives you energy. I would leave the gym and say "where the heck is the energy everyone talks about"?

A month after beginning my exercise, I arrived home after a 90 minute cardio session and my mom says, "woman shut up". I was talking a mile a minute, this is when I realized wow I have energy NOW. I havent lost my mojo since November 2008.

I think I will reach my goal of an 125 pound weight loss by my bandiversary. I am scared nervous and excited because the test will come years later when I hope to continue my new lifestyle.

I know you are right about the energy. Been there in the past but can not seem to get started. I always find an excuse to put it off for another day.

I am so proud of you for losing so much and staying on track! You are a fab example for everyone. I think your new life is well established now and you have the mojo to continue forever.

Congrats!!!!

THANKS EVERYONE for the kind advise on the hair. I will try the B complex. I do need to be better on making sure I get my 60-70 grams of Protein.

You all are doing so well. I too am LOVIN' the down sizing. I've slowed down, but still fill great! I can't wait to be in a 10. I'm in a tight 14. So, I'm working on it.

Skinnydippn42 - Thats great you go to a dietian. They can help keep you on track. I have a hard time with the head hunger vs stomach hunger.

NRPNRP - You go Lady!!! You are knockin on the door to your goal. That's great.

That KARENK for the advise.:sad:

That is awesome! Way to go. You can do maintenance! Can't wait to be there.

Thanks for the kind words. You have done a terrific job. You will get there soon enough.

Maintenance has always been a tough one for me. This is a whole new ball game though so I am confident.

CONGRATS on meeting your goal! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!

About hair, when you lose weight, it changes your body hormones and can cause that temporarily (like after pregnancy). I did hear Biotin helps. I cut my hair short and have no problems!

I went to see my band doc yesterday and he thinks I'm doing great. I've had two fills. I lost 10 lbs in the past 6 weeks and he expects a less than a pound a week loss at this point. I'm happy losing no matter how quick!! I don't go back for 12 weeks now...

I am LOVING walking/running in organized runs. Money always goes to a good cause and it is a great incentive to MOVE. The last one raised money for nature conservation and was on a road running through a state park (woods). Try it if you haven't! The longest one I did was a 10 miler the morning after my first grandson was born and I had been on my feet all day!! It was worth it though :smile:.

Hugs,

Anne

NRPNRP - U R AWESOME!!!

Army Mom - That's great on the run. i love it myself. Thanks for the tips on the hair. Can you tell me what you eat on an average day? I was banded 1 day before you and have only lost 36 lbs since. Little frustrated, but no regrets.

NRPNRP - Great job!!!

Army Mom - Thanks for a kind words on the hair. I love running.

What do you eat in an average day? I was banded 4/21 and have lost 36 lbs. I'm doing something wrong. Happy, but wish I was a little further.

Hey all -

I hit one-derland today. Stepped on the clinic scale and it read 199!

I know I have more to go (more than my ticker claims, but I wanted to set a reasonable goal), but I feel really good! And happy!

Hope everyone is doing well.

[Mimilou2004 13]

YAY, KarenK, congratulations!!!!

You weigh more than I do....You weigh more than I do....You weigh more than I do!

He got a kick out of it:wink:

Love y'all!
