Love your list! I never did one. Now I am sorry I never did one about anything, not even wearing different size clothes. Good for you and good luck with everything.

I am 62 and still have black heads and sometimes pimples. I thought they left the body in the teens-wrong! I need to get a facial and have the tech make my skin look better. My husband's routine sounds likes Ty's. Why-because we wear makeup and try to look good. Toodles.

That sounded so wonderful to do something nice for yourself. I don't want to be a spoiler but I was at the dermatologist a few weeks ago and he said never use alcohol, witch hazel or any toners on the face. I have used toner, Lancome, for about 30-40 years on mine and now have stopped all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and new week.

Very nice first blog. who cares if you're rude, I can be. The real me hasn't come out yet. I try to be nice and then I blow up. i have a lot on my plate. ​Your travels sound super. I love to travel but can't at this time. Have a great weekend.

Hello I never heard of that but then it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. When in doubt call the doctor. That is what i do. Good luck.

Good luck with your band. Are you allowed spaghetti so soon? I know I wasn't. But then every doctor is different. eating so soon can make you sick. I hope you don't get sick.

I wish you a lot of luck. I am about the same weight as you and under 200 would the bomb!!! by New Years. have a great Thanksgiving.

That is wonderful news!!!!!!!! Good luck.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

​I am also obsessed with the scale. I get on too much, like 3-6 times a day. Awful. I have been between 207 and 211 for about 6 weeks. I hate it. I would love to see 199 by January 1st. Everyone goes at different paces. Have a wonderful holiday.

Sorry to hear about your awful day. I get stressed and crazy when things like that happen, also. Just don't eat Twinkies. Is the business trip to somewhere wonderful? enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Hello, try eating protein. I love to snack on lump crab. I have also bought Soy Chips, they come in different flavors and they are protein. I buy unsalted almonds and put some olive oil in a pan and cook them and make them more roasted and keep them in the refrigerator. They are a nice crunchy snack that fill you up. Ask your dietitian for ideas, that is why they are there, to help . I would also like to be under 200 by January 1st!!!! Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

Tell the doctor right away. This does not sound right. You may need to an x-ray to see if everything is in place the proper way. Good luck. I learned, never hide anything from the doctor.

I am very happy you found your ring. ​A few hints-eat protein first and chew, chew, chew. I started my sort of diet in March and was banded 7/30. I am not a breakfast eater so I started and still have every morning a protein shake. I love them. i only drink chocolate and I sometimes add decaf instant coffee and peppermint extract and lots of ice and they are thick like a McDonald's shake. I have a small blender that is also a drinking cup. Good luck. I wish I knew about this site before my banding.

Very nice. Can you use a straw? I was banded 7/30 and still can not use them. They do something to you with filling you with gas. Something like that. Maybe ask. Good luck.

I can't seem to get going with exercise either. My son told me that on demand (I have Comcast in Boston) there are exercise programs that are free. I looked once. No excuse, I don't work outside the house so I do have time. I do go to large stores most days and walk around them even if I don't make any purchases. About clothes-go shopping-it's great to see the smaller size on your body!!! I loved it when I went from women's to misses. Feels wonderful. Good luck with making better food choices. I try most meals and my husband makes comments if I stray.

My weight has not changed in over 2 months but my inches have gone down. I can't figure that one out. My husband says i eat too much. I don't think so. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for my 2nd fill. I'll find out what I am doing wrong. One blogger once told me she stayed the same weight for many many months but lost inches. Good luck.

You're doing great for less than one year since your banding!!! Good for you. Reading this makes it seem real that this can happen to me too.

Since I have lost weight I am always cold. I was always the hot one. I seem to never get warm anymore. I wear a mink jacket when it gets below 40. Yes, I wear fur and eat meat. Maybe my husband is right, time to move down south. But then my grandchildren will be in MA and I don't think I could ever leave them. I find myself drinking hot tea all day and that isn't working either. ​Yesterday my husband and I went for our annual dermatology checkups. I was told to never use toner again. It either has alcohol or acetone in them. Never knew that after using them for over 40 years. The doctor did say rentol (excuse spelling) is very good for wrinkles. I bought CVS brand on sale. I am on the vein side but you wouldn't know that by me being so over weight for so long. I use to go to Cape Cod to a resort and the resident comic was gay and extremely large and made fun of decorating his large body. From the first time I heard him say that, I started dressing much better. It took a fat man to tell me that fat doesn't have to dress bad. Thanks for listening to me. Have a great Thursday. Time to go food shopping-how fun? Not.

I over drink and have for many years. I drink iced tea, hot tea and water only. I am up all night going potty because my feet are level with my body. My weight hasn't changed in over a month but I have lost inches. I weigh myself about 4 times a day. I know this is wrong but that's me. I don't exercise enough, no excuse. Have a great holiday.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so inspiring to look forward to. I love hearing great stories. Keep up the wonderful work.

​ Congratulations on being a mother-in-law. Also, very nice that you are running in a marathon. That is very impressive. It's great to read about nice things in people's lives.

I am very happy you called the doctor. Even happier that you are feeling better!!!! Enjoy your day and new life.

call the doctor. that is why he/she is there. Good luck with the band. Best thing I ever did in July.

What is MFP? I also an not a veggie eater. I do love salad and have never had dressing in my life, so I am good eating salads before my dinner, about 1 hour before. I have awful gas after every meal. I was told that is common and my husband doesn't make rude remarks anymore. I go for my second fill the week after Thanksgiving. My weight hasn't changed much but I am losing inches. I take my measurements on the 6th of each month, but I didn't start until September and my heaviest was in March and surgery July 30th. So I really don't know how large I was except by clothes. Good luck!!
