Thank-you, ReadySteadyGo

I just wanted to say thanks for the sweet note you left for me, I'm sorry I have been gone so long from the forums! I've been dealing with a health issue (not band related), the fun of summer, plus vacation, so just busy stuff going on. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, but I'm not discouraged and still swimming! I'm hoping to lose that last 38 pounds before my one year anniversary . . . I don't mind if it's a little slow, and long as it's steady! I have bought a Wii Fit, to try and change my exercise routine a bit . . . WHEW! It really does give me a great work out. Since I can do 45 minutes of very fast walking on my treadmill, I thought the jogging (on the easiest level) on the Wii fit would be a cinch . . . OUCH was I wrong! LOL :biggrin: Just a few minutes of that, and I was really huffing and puffing. I obviously needed some new exercise! :mad: The Wii Fit also helps tone and balance, so I've been working on that too.

I hope everyone is doing well! I miss my girlfriends here . . . I'll try and check in here more often.

Warm hugs and keep on swimming! (from the tickers I've seen, you all are doing really AWESOME!) :tt2:

Sorry to hear about you health, but am glad you are feeling better. Oh a wii fit I'm jealous. I really want one but have to pay for other things right now. I have been swimming. And I just keep swimming. :-)

Glad to hear you are swimming RSG! I went swimming for the first time a few weeks ago . . . on vacation with my hubby, I actually went into the hotel swimming pool. It's was the first time in MANY years . . . It's been so long since I've felt comfortable enough to even think about putting on a bathing suit.:blushing: Gotta love the band! :thumbup:

And please don't be jealous of the Wii . . . I'm not so sure it was money well spent, it is expensive, and it is a cute "game" and all . . . but now that I've tried it, I do think there are cheaper (and even more effective) ways of getting good exercise. I'm not saying I hate it, just if I had to do it again, I'm not sure I would buy it.

Keep on swimming girlfriend! :biggrin: I'm currently struggling myself on an awful plateau, but I'm determined to hang in there and keep on trying. Never gonna stop fighting here!

**hugs**

HA HA.. it's not a do, it's a wig for halloween. I'm going as a goth chick and the wig package said "goth" though it looks more shirley temple, only black. I only wish my hair would go black, but it just won't take. Hey, do you have a myspace account? I have a few lapbanders on there, but not you.

Is it that once the novelty wears off, it isn't as much fun? Maybe I could find a used one someone has gotten tired of.
