You are doing so AWESOME! Keep up the great work and congrats on finding the love of running! I hear it is a love it or hate it thing, i'm glad you love it! good luck on your 5K you will be running marathons before you know it!!!

Got it, i think this will be a lot easier than copying and pasting everyones info. Especially since we are getting a lot more participation now!! To bad we do not have a separate Challenge board that we can use a spread sheet like form to keep track of our goals and make it a sticky for the new challenges. That would be cool! I love these little challenges to keep me motivated!!!

I'm in! I am not going to be too aggressive, but want to get to an even number so i'm picking 140 as my new goal! that is 17.3 pounds in 10 weeks. I need to get my butt back to the gym! or at least go for walks at lunch instead of eating!!! Now, how to do this little ticker thing??? DUH forgot to add the ticker in... SN.........................Starting Wt........Current........Goal.......Lbs to Goal pattimomof3nj.......157.3................157.3...........140.........17.3

You did totally awesome on the V Day challenge! You did not realize that you made goal and went over by 20 pounds!!! WOW you are rockin that sleeve!!! Hope that baby is feeling better! Don't you love when you go out to eat and you can just pick off of everyone else's plate to make your meal! it saves so much money!

OH my, I just posted this same ? on the Whatcha eatin? post! I'm 3 months out and my periods are so bad now! My PMS is now EXTREME, lasting for 2 weeks and wanting to bite the heads off of everyone, and the cramps oh just put a knife in my tummy and rip it out! I think it must have something to do with the rapid weight loss and the amount of estrogen out fat cells are releasing! I read that somewhere, but have no idea where, so please do not ask! I read so much about WLS and the affects it has on our bodies and I have been for over 2 years since I got my band! this little bits just pop back into my head now and then!!! But WHY WHY WHY, I have so much work to do today and I cannot think about it with the pain I am in!!!! Ok crying over, back to work! Patti

Happy Hump Day!!! I've got the worst cramps!! Is it me just me or has everyone's periods gotten worse since VSG? Anyway, just got finished choking down my Protein shake, just not in the mood this morning! I have food, just don't feel like eating eat today, so here is the planned menu, we'll see how much makes it in... B- yogurt w/ blueberries (this may get in there) L- chili (not likely) S- cantaloupe (maybe) D- pizza night at home (don't eat that anyway!!!) vites - i'll try to get them in they are staring at me! Water - it's going to be a struggle! exercise - can i count walking to the BR all day! NEXT>>>>>

I have noticed that my PMS is now extreme, and it is a LOT longer than the 2 days it used to be it is more like 2 weeks now. My poor family. And my anxiety is through the roof, I was taking Xanax maybe 1 to 2 times a month now I take it like 3 to 4 times a week. I have an appointment with my PCP next week to discuss all of this and get my 3 month blood work done. Maybe my thyroid is jacked up from all of the weight I lost, that would be nice since it took me 4 years to get my anxiety under control! Patti

Actually, when i was there in October, he mentioned that he had his first leak. He said that is was a revision and it was a band to sleeve surgery with lots of scarring and such. Noting that could be done, but the leak was caught right away and the patient was brought right back in to surgery and re-stitched and the leak was repaired. I would go back to Dr A in a heart beat!

UGH! i'm so tired today! Had a late night and a too early morning! Hope you all are enjoying your day so far!! B- yogurt w/ blueberries! i'm loving my fruit lately! L- going out today for a birthday celebration to Houlihan's not sure what to get! D- mom is making Turkey Sheppard's Pie YUMMY! S- cantaloupe Vites - gone gone gone! Water - not so good lately, need to get going on that goal exercise - probably not, i see sleep as soon as my head hits the couch tonight, hope i catch NCIS! NEXT>>>>>

Hey all! Happy Monday! Not sure what happened on Friday, but I could not post or open the boards at all!!! Sorry, I missed you all! Hope you all had a great weekend! Here's my eats for today! Going to try to be good this week need to get ot my Valentine's Day Goal! B- Yogurt w/ fresh blueberries L- roast beef & cheese roll ups & cantaloupe S- I've got a Protein bar or SF pudding D- going out with some friends not sure what is on the menu! vites - already in! Water - hot tea all day! NEXT>>>>>

I was having maybe 1 or 2 BMs every 2 weeks, then I noticed that I was going everyday! Thought I was coming down with a bug or something but felt fine otherwise. Then noticed that I was having a little acid back up in my throat and was trying to think what I was doing different that could be causing the acid, notice didn't worry about the BMs. I started eating 6 bite size pieces of cantaloupe at lunch everyday. the cafeteria at work starting putting it on the salad bar and it just looked so darn good that I had to have it! it cost over a buck a day for those 6 pieces, but they got the plumbing moving along! So this weekend I went to the store and got my own, and I will just deal with the extra little bit of acid, cause the weight is also starting to fall off again!!! Patti

Happy Hump Day! Iced in the casa today! At least there is school although starting late! So far on the eating path i've been ok but it is only 10 am! B - a few handfuls of Honey Nut Cheerios L- i'm thinking tuna D - i'll find something to cook up Lots of hot tea today! vites are in exercise, i'm sure me and the girls will find something fun to do later!! NEXT.....

Well, here we go again with the SnOMG and ICE this time! Seems to be a weekly thing now! But in July when it's 100 degrees out and we're all complaining!!! So, last night mom made Hamburger Helper, my kids love the Crunchy Taco, and they eat it with Whole Grain Scoops! I had a small plate of mostly the meat! My tummy is not liking food for some reason the past few days, could it be PMS? not sure! PreB- Protein shake B- Light n Fit yogurt w/ fresh blueberries L- Roast Beef roll ups no cheese today D- what ever mom makes! hopefully warm and comfy food! vites - left them at home Water - going down exercise - scraping the car, shoveling the driveway! PS - I'm officially out of the 160s!!!! NEXT.....

Just noticed your ticker!!!! YOU MADE GOAL!!!!!!!! HUGE CONGRATS GIRL!!!!!

Ok it is Monday again and guess what??? We are getting more SNOW in NJ this week! This is getting a bit on the crazy side if you ask me! So, I was laid up all weekend with a migraine that I just cannot shake. I'm trying to decide if it is PMS, sinus or weather related, so I am medicated for all every 6 hours to see what is going to make it go away, so far NOTING is helping! I'm sitting in my dark office trying not to look at the compute screen for more that 15 minutes at a time! Todays menu is very subjectible depending on my head. PreB - Protein shake B- Greek yogurt w/ blueberries L - roast beef & cheese rollups (love these) D - not sure! no snack vites - sitting here looking at them Water - lots to try to get this head thing to go away no exercise, my head hurts! NEXT.....

I would love a copy too! pcorrea9@gmail.com

I am so happy that today is Friday! But they are calling for more snow in the upper east part of the country, like haven't we had enough already! i'm thinking a tropical island with a cabana boy to bring me drinks and fan me sounds good right now!!! So, i didn't do so good on my weekly weigh in yesterday, only down .9. I think it is close to that time of the month, but that shouldn't be an excuse to pig out like i did yesterday, damn snow days!!! Happy to be in my quiet office with my packed food! PreB- Protein shake B- greek yogurt w/ blueberries L- roast beef & cheese roll ups S- cheese stick H20 - hot tea, cause they can't seem to get the temp in this building about 60! vites are half down waiting for B to get in! exercise, cleared the car off, and will Zumba tonight with the babies! Have a great weekend all!! NEXT.....
