2010-Finding the Woman Within!

I have a beautiful woman within~crying to be released to the world in 2010! She wants to be happy, healthy and yes even sexy! Look out world~I am on my way! Bandsters unite! Work as hard as you can to be positive, productive and help others along the way in this journey of our lives! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! GOD BLESS YOU!:biggrin::smile::biggrin::smile::wink::smile::biggrin:

Let the New Year BEGIN~~So is the best part of my life to come!

:wink:Let the Ball drop and the New Year commence! Come on 2010~~~~LapBand losers will win! We are going the distance in the New Year approaching. I have been heavy (FAT~Let's just say it) all my life on and off again. This is the year it will all end. There will be a normal person emerging from within with the help of our little band. If you have been on the fence, not making the decision to go forward~~all I can say is Wait no more!!!! Do it!!!! The best move I ever made and as of

Not Meeting a Goal~Depressed or Blessed?

I feel blessed, I got sick with a cold two weeks before Christmas and had to take meds, then had a Colonoscopy on the 22nd! Well I did not make my goal for Onderland only by four lbs. So I am blessed that I lost more weight! I had a wonderful Christmas with Family and Friends! Lots of Laughter and many Compliments. I got called the Skinny Girl~ Now thats a great Christmas Present even if I missed hitting the Goal I set for myself. I will be there by the New Year! It will be wonderful to be in on

Christmas Blues or Good News?

I have met all the goals I have set for myself since getting the Lap Band. I have an upcoming goal for Christmas that I will be in onderland. Now I have six lbs to lose in 9 days! And~~~I have all these Christmas Parties to attend, temptations, and shopping trips ahead. Can I do It? I don't know, but I am going to push ahead and try really hard!   I don't want to get the blues about it, and have my Christmas ruined because I don't make the goal, and I am sure I will be close to it anyway!

First Cruise since the Band~~~~Got to get ready! Mentally!

Heading on a cruise to Mexico, Cozumel to be exact, going with 7 other couples for a Thanksgiving Cruise. I am very excited about the cruise, but very nervous too as I know I will be put to the test with ALL that food on the ship. I have determined to eat only lean, high protein and good carbs. If I do slip, I'll hit the Gym and the exercise class! Anyone else have this happen? I am only 15 weeks post band, down 51 lbs so far and want to hit Onderland by Christmas. So I really h

You can't change your body, if you don't change your mind first!

Remembering that the LapBand is our tool, it is not a diet pill that will harm us, but it is our guide to eating smaller portions. We must change our way of thinking when it comes to the foods we choose to put in our bodies. This is not a journey to just get slim, it is also a journey to good healthy lifestyles. Eating better, and feeling better. Health and Wellness may be yours and you can add years to your life if you just accept the fact that "To change your life, you must first acc

Lacking the Courage to Start?

:biggrin: If you lack the courage to start, you are already finished! I love this saying and it is so true. We must get started, and if we have started and get off track, the courage to start over again. I have been up and down two lbs since Oct. 28th, It is down again, but I think that the exercise program I have started is building muscle and that could weigh more. I want Onderland by Christmas and that is my goal now. A little present to myself. start weight 256 todays weig

Onderland by Christmas? What is your plan?

Christmas is coming and a Red dress (Sexy) is calling my name! I want to get into a nice sexy Red Dress by Christmas. I know that I am looking better, all my friends are telling me so, and I could get complacent and just stop right here, but this is where I always Gave Up at before when I was on diets. I AM NOT SATISFIED YET! I AM HOPING FOR ONDERLAND BY CHRISTMAS! I AM 211.4 THIS MORNING AND I BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO IT! I HAVE A PLAN, STAYING IN KETOSIS TILL THE POUNDS DROP, INCREASING

Two Deaths in the Family in One Week! Stress!!! It is really affecting my attitude!

STRESS AFFECTS MY ATTITUDE AND MY APPETITE! I GET SO OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I SUFFER OR SEE OTHERS SUFFER. I THINK THAT FOOD HAS BEEN MY COMFORT FOR SO LONG, THAT WHEN I AM SAD, I WANT TO EAT AND NOT JUST FOOD, SWEETS! I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO SABATOGE MY DIET PLAN, BUT THEY CALL TO ME WITH COMFORT. IT IS REALLY HARD, IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE FEELINGS? I AM SO FULL TONIGHT, I HURT! IT SURE FELT GOOD GOING DOWN THO!:frown:UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF NOW AND FEELING GUILTY.

I like being a LOOSER!

No one wants to be a looser! Well I like it! I never thought that loosing would make me a winner! LapBand AP has made me a looser and I am happy about it.   I have started to visualize myself at 80 lbs thinner, now that I am 40 lbs or so down from my old weight! Next year at this time I will be a totally different woman!   Take a photo of yourself, use a black marker, and trim yourself down! This will give you inspiration to get with the program, stay with the program, and get thin.

Third Fill Coming UP!

I found out that I have an 11cc band, I get my third fill this coming Wednesday. I do seem to get a little hungrier the week before the fill. Don't know why that is.   I have had so many challenges this past two weeks, Class Reunion, Baby Showers, Celebration Dinners, Anniversarys, Fairs and Festivals Galore to mention a few. I have slipped a little here and there, but have always gained control and not thrown in the towel. I am striving for success, not perfection! I know that I am not

Energy Boost, Weight LOST!

:confused:I'M SO HAPPY TODAY! GETTING TO MY GOALS FAST AND EASY. THE HIGH PROTEIN, MIN 60 G PER DAY AND LOW CARB DIET WORKS THE BEST WITH THE LAP BAND! EVEN A SMALL STATE OF KETOSIS WILL BURN UP THE FAT IN YOUR BODY! IT IS ONLY ONE WEEK TILL MY CLASS REUNION AND I AM REACHING MY GOAL! STAY THE COURSE AND RELY ON YOURSELF TO CONTROL WHAT YOU EAT! PREPARE THOSE MEAL PLANS IN ADVANCE, THAT IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED AND IS VERY HELPFUL! HAVE A GREAT DAY!:wub:

High Protein Diet is WORKING!!! Dropped 3.5 lbs in a week!

I decided to follow the Lindora Lean for Life program. Very High Protein to get you into Ketosis in the first three Days, then introduce some good carbs day four on. It worked! I am only in a Moderate state of Ketosis and I have Lost 3.5 lbs this week or In 5 days actually. I go in for my second fill tomorrow and I have calmed down about it, thanks to all of those who sent a post. I know it will help restrict my intake of foods that I don't need to be eating and stop my cravings more too,

Second fill Coming up! Excited??? Don't Know What to expect!

I have to admit, I am a little worried about the next fill and excited too! I want to get more weight off and keep it off and I know this is what I wanted! But in three days I will get the next fill #2 and I am so nervous. It doesn't hurt, I am not anxious about that, but I just worry that I will not be able to consume any food much that I like, although I don't get hungry now. I also worry that I will choke or get food hung and panic! Scared to death of that! I have not thrown up at all a

Staying the Course, but not dropping the weight.

I feel like I am not dropping enough weight, what am I doing wrong? I am staying under 1,000 calories per day and getting my protien. Started Walking a mile every other day along with some weight work for my arms and body toning. I had my surgery on July 30, 2009, I weighed in at 250.5 and now weigh 228.8. one week prior to surgery I weighed 256.5, but I feel so fat. I know I have lost a lot of weight, but I can't feel that it is enough for the time. I am feeling ashamed and defeated, anyone
