Thanks Hedder good tip....and X Lucky Duck...pool is def a great exercise! Wished I had one!

It is! I have the same thing and really enjoy it and by the time I am done I am sweating hardcore! Keep up the great work

As long as you can keep fluids down and it doesn't hurt you should be ok however if you just don't feel it and don't feel right def get some removed. I had my band too tight once and I couldn't barely get water down....Hope this helps have a great day!

Thansk Pandora...that helps a whole lot thank you for your help!

So I just found out that I may have to travel to Virginia for a week. I have traveled there a few times already but now I am really kicking it in high gear and working out...The company will pay for all my foods however only eating out...they won't pay for stores due to others taking advantage of it. Does anyone have any advice as being banded doesn't make it easy eating out. ICK HELP!

You got it girl! Its just nice to have that pal that can be there if you need them to be! Hope your day is great!

Thanks to you both!...Jennifer thank you and right back at ya!...X-good for you on the pool! I love swimming and think that is something I def want to do for exercise!

It's all about baby steps and I finally reached a simple minor goal. That was to get at least a one workout this weekend because I tend to skip the entire weekend all together well I did it!. I worked out for 40 mins and I feel pretty darn good about it! :wub: I think my negativity and problem is wanting it all right now and over doing it. So I figured babysteps and I will get there in due time. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel good and thats all that matters so Keep on Keeping on!!

:)Geat job!! Keep up the great work!

Hi there nice to meet you...Congrats on the weightloss your doing great! You will def get to the green zone but I understand your frustration I get that way myself! I am with you the best way to succeed is with friends! Good luck

Whoo Hoo congrats! thats awesome!

Have you thought about getting maybe another fill? I know its tough I experience the same issue. Protein really does help and make sure your getting plenty of fluids. I really can relate..its frustrating and tought when you eat good and work your booty off. Keep your chin up...Keep a food journal that seems to help me too. Hope this helps and Good luck!

Thanks for the advice!

Have you worked your booty off and when you do a weekly check in and nothing has changed? I am really thinking it has come down to food. I just don't think I am getting enough. I see alot where 1200 is the lowest one should go I am pretty sure I don't get that much or close. Its not that I am doing it on purpose but I just don't think about it cause I am either really busy or doing something else. I need to really sit down and do my menu up of 1200 calories a day but rearrange it to where I have variety. Thats another problem is not having enough variety that I get bored and quit. Does anyone have any suggestions that work for them? I am a trainer at my job so there are times that I am up walking around teaching so I forget to grab a snack. I am not sure how to break that habit cause we do have breaks which is a good time to grab a snack but I just continue to work. I am trying really hard not to beat myself up about not losing weight and working my butt off. I am going to continue to work out I just got to really figure my eating out. I struggle with foods so its like I just get by with just enough. Yesterday tho I had a scary thing happened. I stood up to walk to my kitchen and got so dizy that I saw tunnel vision and then I was holding my phone and it felt like it was 10 pds. It quickly went away but enough to make me dazed. I am taking my vitimins like I should so I am thinking it has to come down to food. Its tough because I am an emotional eater and well I can't simply give up food we all know thats not even an option. I know I need to sit down and do the menu but when it comes time I just tend to be lazy. I am like a sad broken record...sighs...Gotta keep going and keep my head up....

Thanks lady!

Thanks Lady! and nice to meet ya!

You know I don't get people. How can you talk trash about someone and then expect them to be your friend? I have been nothing but nice to this person and have done everything I can to assist and help but in turn get treated like nothing. I don't get it. Some days I feel just alone. I try and come on here and other sites hoping to find and make friends with others but so far I must be doing something wrong. Things have changed. Oh well. I will continue on with my self change and writing. In other news fires are all over Colorado and the smoke is making alot of people sick. So far I am ok but I just know its going to hit like a ton of bricks and knock me down. I hope not tho because I don't want to use that as an excuse to slow me down. So far this week starting on Monday I have logged alittle over 6 miles and that is encourging. Today I am a bit sore from doing pilates. A good sore...anyway guess I am done for now...

hang in there hope your ok!

Thank you both...I read somewhere that people that disliked working out kept at it for 40 days and then they just kept doing it because they loved it.

Ever have days where you just want to sit up and say no to workouts but you know that won't do no good? I am sitting here and decided not to work out this morning which is fine because I'll work out in the afternoon. What is your self motivator? Ever feel like stopping? I know that losing weight is the greatest feeling ever but when you have those days when your down what do you tell yourself? Meh...tired today and a bit cranky! :ph34r:
