I have been having the same problems. My doc said I have "sludge". It soundsbad. I was in a lot of pain this past weekend. I felt as if I had done a million sit ups. I couldn't bend over, lay on my side, back, much less on my stomach. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hello. Just a quick check in. I am down 1.5 pounds. I'm at 242. The water is still a huge problem. :bananajump:

This week I was down 1.5 pounds ~ 242 NSV - I was able to raise the speed on the treadmill a little.

I am at 244. I am walking one hour five days a week. I have stopped the junk food and I am drinking 32 ounces of water. Maybe I need to inccrease the H2O intake. :cake:

Hi! +1 pound on the scale this week ~ 244 NSV - I walked four days out of the week for one hour each day. I also finished all of the laundry during the weekend!

Update: -.5 (243) I need to drink more water. I did exercise four times last week. Boy I could feel a difference in energy.

I'm in. Start weight is 243.5. Goal weight: (ideally 225) realistically 234

Count me in! I wasn't successful in the last challenge. Maybe I'l do better this time around. Weigh in - 243.5 Goal: 234 NSV - I was finally able to walk for one hour on the treadmill!

Carrie, I have come to not trust any form of birth control. My first child was "planned." With the other three I have a birth control pill baby, an IUD baby and a condom baby. The last was after the band surgery. I had a tubal after the last one was born. With my luck I'll still become pregnant somehow. I know some people really want to have children but I have definitely reached my limit. Good luck!

I second Betty on Michelle for most inspirational.

I agree with the "Do-Over Club" thing. I think Shell was right in one of her posts when she found out her band awas eroded "We need to get our heads out of our butt and start losing." I swear, I keep playing that comment in my head over and over.

The time I missed a period, a baby came out nine months later!

Well, put. I see myself one way and when I look in the mirror, I look totally different. It is depressing though.

Alright, I : - sip on water with my meals - have a 24 oz. cappuccino every morning - was having a coke at lunch (I stopped only this week) - don't exercise (there are a million excuses but no actions) - eat way more than the 1/2 cup limit - although I sip on water during my meals, I don't drink it at any other time No wonder I haven't lost weight! I just widh I could stop feeling sooooo hungry!

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
