Losing, try not to let yourself get down. Have you had enough protein lately, and potassium? I've heart that lack of those things sometimes can make that happen. Just a thought. Keep at it, and good luck. Cindy

Karen, I feel for you! I haven't been losing for a bit now, I think 4 pounds total last month, but I'll take it. Like you said, it's just frustrating when you add in the exercise, and are eating appropriately, and the scale does not want to BUDGE. I'm just hoping that it will surprise me one day and drop big time. If not, we just need to remember to focus, that we are doing a good thing and getting healthy, right? By the way, Did week 4 workout 1 last night. I SURVIVED. It felt good (once I was done!) I sneaked a peak ahead to Week 9, big mistake. I'm wicked scared. One long 20 minute, 2 mile run. Ouch. We'll be ready! Oops, sorry for rambling. Cindy

I still say you should check out HP. I have never had a problem with them, I've had them for maybe about 10 years. I called customer service once on one of my computers and they were fabulous. Worth looking into. Cindy

Don't you mean Tickler?

Yeah McGreen!! Welcome

I'm telling my aunt. Or is it my aunt will be telling me? Did I just say that, or was it my other self? Cindy

I also hate the Mac, but I love the HP notebook. Nice, very nice. Cindy

I just want to say that you guys are so inspirational, so glad I found this thread. Trystelle, Happy birthday, mine was Nov 4, and I know what you mean. Last year on my birthday, I never would have dreamed that I'd be attempting to run, never mind enjoying it. This week is week 3 for me. Today will be workout 3 of week 3. I'd like to start week 4 tomorrow, to keep with my Sun, Wed, Friday, because this week I was thrown off track (Dfather in law) had a heart attack Mon pm. As far as the podcast, can't wait to actually download it. Am having trouble. I got a nano for my birthday but because it is so new, it doesn't download from the itunes that is on my computer. My daughter is helping me, in order to download itunes 7, we have to upgrade Windows (we have Windows 2000). Anyway, hopefully it will be figured out soon. Everyone keep up the great job, I love to read all your accomplishments and hope that someday I, too, can run some type of marathon!! Cindy

Baby got Back, Sorry to sound so naive, but what is witnessing? I am a Christian and baptized and raised Protestant, but I am not familiar. Would you mind sharing? You don't have to if you're not comfortable, I am just curious. Thanks Cindy

Hi Julie, Hope you're doing well. Let us know how you're doing when you are up to it. Cindy

Oh my God Romeo is the cutest thing. What a handsome boy!!! I have a papillion, Cody, and an australian shepard, Jinx. Neither one has a bed, they chew them. Cody sleeps on my bed, though. How are those bouncing meatballs? I hate ketchup.

I have Dr. Adam, and he says to call if the restriction is not right, and he'll probably give you a fill if you are not losing. I'd say to call their office. Cindy

Julie hope the marathon went well for you. Good luck on your surgery. Please let us know how you're doing. Cindy

Ellison, Overland Park KS blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision

Exactly!! Cindy

My goodness, where is everybody? Cindy

Dozy, so sorry for what happened to you. I am praying for a speedy recovery for you. Cindy

Honestly people, I know I asked some silly questions when I first got banded (and probably do still)! I can read these and laugh, looking back now at myself. I really think it is in good fun and shouldn't be taken as being mean or hurtful. It is meant to be humorous, and we were all there at one time. I am really enjoying this and I don't feel it is at the expense of someone vulnerable. Remember, I included myself in there as well, so I guess you could say I am also making fun of me. Sit back, read, and get a good chuckle. I am. Cindy

My thoughts are that your doctor is the expert. I would go by the advice that your doctor gave you. If you are unsure, get a second opinion from another doctor. These threads are a great support but always get medical advice from a medical expert. Hope that helps Cindy

AAAHhhh, I can relate to the knee thing. I was exercising in early May (right before my surgery), and injured my knee. It was a twisting injury and the orthopedist said it was a torn ligament. It's been doing great, so I started this couch to 5k slowly, it's been good. Until last night. I had to stop the workout half way because my knee started to hurt. Better safe than sorry. I just ended up walking home, then iced it (no swelling, thankfully), and I'll take it easy for a few days, only walking. It is a bit disappointing, as I am really getting into the 5K program. Oh well, hopefully our knees will cooperate as we lose the weight and take care of the knees. Good luck to you and listen to your body. Hopefully you'll be back to running in no time. Cindy

Maybe your band should be removed. Or Pepto bismol. Perhaps some vitamins.

My port is on the right side. Shouldn't it be on the left. Will I slime now? Orange juice IS good. I prefer eggs. Over easy please. If I eat bacon, how come I did not lose weight today?

Do geccos make you pb? I thought I just saw one.

I like my fish well done. Haven't had pork chops in a long time. Do you think that is ok? Too funny!! Cindy

I've bought them at Stop and Shop in Norwood and Walpole. They are over with the slimfast shakes by the Vitamins. Good luck. Cindy
