      #MagicWithinme

      went through all the steps and it kept telling me can not assist. I looked back, yep right bank, right pin number, I finally hit cancel and when the card came out it was the wrong CARD.. hey I had 2-3 right, lol went home for lunch, ran out of time...

      Oh my I think this is something we all have done one time or another. LOL

      You were also probably better off to go home for lunch it most likely was more nutritional for you any way.

  2. Dropped my plate of food this am, but I was cool,

      #MagicWithinme

      I didn't feel like "look at the fat chick ,she dropped her food", ohh with everyone's eyes on me. I was whoops and a very nice gentleman helped me and said lets start over. I ended up only eating the fresh fruit anyways.

  11. Well apaprently I've been hitting my chest too hard to make myself, burp, chiro had to adjust the front rib area (carefully) I told my co-worker she really needs to burp me,,

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      some people have so sense of humor.. now I have to pat like a baby, and ice my chest... hmmm

    2. finediva

      finediva

      I too hit my chest to make myself burp, doesn't really work. I'll try to be careful now when I do it.

  12. Everything's ok with the lapband, until it isn't. I think my body is trying to start the winter fat symptoms!

    1. 2muchfun

      2muchfun

      I keep getting these fall recipes in my inbox that look so delicious but they're so unhealthy. Lots of cream, butter, flour and short on protein. I think the visuals of these Fall and Holiday meals is a appetite stimulant.

      hi butter..LOVE YOU

  13. gained 3 lbs and bp high, guess this new protein drink has too much sugar: Visalus

    1. Dee_1111

      Dee_1111

      yep, its all a learning curve, Im still, 4 years later, switching protein powders, one cheaper, one better flavor, one better crap in it. etc. :)

    2. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      It sucks, went to md today, and I don't even want to say what BP was, but dr, doubled med Im taking now and adding another one :(, hopefully stop that shake, back to basics, and things will calm down.. I like Optifast, but that stuff's expensive, I get it from ebay now and then.

  14. I knew I was going to hear from my GYN, about my 2nd mam results, I asked God why, I'm so tired of being strong, He said to me, I only give the hard battles to my strongest soldiers, you are stronger than you know..

      It sure is !!!

  17. Ever talk to someone who is so sweet and nice, all the time but the moment you say the wrong thing, the facade drops and its like you are talking to a different person? I can no longer trust someone like that.

    1. Miss Mac

      Miss Mac

      At a new management job years ago, I inherited a secretary I mentally thought of a Elizabeth the Snake. I even had a small rubber snake in my pencil drawer to remind me to not trust her or believe anything she said.

    2. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I'll let you know when I get a rubber snake, Miss Mac !

  18. Trying to hold back the flying monkeys, but work is pushing my buttons!

      #MagicWithinme

      I released them two weeks ago, but it didn't change anything..:(

  19. I was the only nice one... hmmm

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      The nurse from Dr's office called to reschedule my Tuesday appointment . She kept asking me if I was ok, having any problems, really sorry. I said no problem. She gave me the date. When I told her I was ok with that, because I had planned to come back from the beach a day early just for that appointment, so it worked out for me. The nurse laughed and said no wonder you are the only nice one I've talked too about rescheduling...

    2. Debbie3sons

      Debbie3sons

      Kill them with kindness , people don't know ho to act when your nice to them lol.

  20. when does the time come when you can start enjoying losing weight?

    1. LilMissDiva Irene

      LilMissDiva Irene

      For me it took until I was feeling 100%. It's hard to be happy about losing when I don't feel good. Hang in there, it does get better.

    2. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I hear you, thanks.. this too shall pass

       

  21. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I try to keep weight off, diet and working out, sometimes age and gravity win!

  22. What would geng shui say? I bought some Scentsy and all 3 scentsy were yellow in color

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      This morning I jumped into the shower and what did I see? All 3 body washes (bottles) were yellow!. hmmmmm, sorry that's Feng shui

    2. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      lol...my favorite scentsy (and my husbands) is sweet pea vanilla... LOVE that scent... have the little warmers plugged into the bathroom outlets for nightlights... so cool... and they are pink/purple... which is where I tend to go ;)

  23. Words I never expected, chiro says I have arthritis in my back!

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I said how can that be as active as I am? Well since the time I stopped the zumba due to lump, it gave the arthritis a chance to set, if that makes sense. so now I have to be careful of my back, she said I should of had another set of x-rays done after weight loss to check spine which other dr didn't. it clearly shows my spine unaligned. I asked so he's just been fixing the same problem that would never have been resolved? she said yes, and he never should of been doing adjustments in the area of the lapband, as big as it is, no wonder it hurt. So now I have now transferred my chiro care elsewhere. The pain will go away, the bruising will heal but the trust can't. And she said as healthy as everything else is, I'll be able to do zumba again..

    2. Chelly

      Chelly

      That's good that you can Zumba again.

      I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, stenosis of the spine and a few other things but I still ride the stationary bicycle four times a week and do some walking the other days. I do nine miles in 40 minutes on the stationary bicycle.

      I'm so glad that you have gotten to someone that will help you feel better and that won't harm you in the process.

      Feel good.

       

  24. 1ST real cold since lapband and it sucks, (even dr says boy you haven't been around for awhile have you> I can consider that a NSV right?

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy
