Jeni 85

Congrats!!!!!:biggrin2:

I realized this the other day.. i crossed my legs without thinking!!!:thumbup:

Ya the snow here in Chicago is driving me crazy as well... i am so beyond done with winter.. and when there is no snow fall, its freezing... Right now it is -17 below with the dang wind chill.. And to top it off a got this dang URI (upper respiratory infection) so im definitely staying in the house.:thumbup:

Welcome to the challenge shadst83

no problem.... anytime... Best of Luck to you:biggrin2:

Ignore them..... and don't let them drag you down... I admit it would have got me mad too (im not self pay but had to jump through hoops to get insurance to pay) but everyone makes their own decisions... if they want to eat all unhealthy food they wont be successful..while the rest of us bandsters who choose to eat well will be actually able to reach goal... and they wont... I know nobody's perfect but there is a difference between those whom try to eat well and those who don't give a damn.. I know i've slipped up before but to sit there a purposefully do so is beyond my imagination

both work well.... just think of which will work best for you... With WW you track in a little book and daily plate you track on the computer... which is more convenient for you... try doing both for a little while n see which you like better... I personally dont do either.. i just make sure i k=make healthy choices all day based on calories and Protein... and it has worked for me... The only time i track myself for a couple of days is when i hit a plateau to see what i need to change.. Good Luck with any decision that you make:thumbup:

anyalee added you to the list.... and for start weight mean what weight you are ate the start of the challenge not the start of your band journey:biggrin2:

Its updated legster and i added pigsfly...

:cursing:Okay, being sick sux!!! I went to the doctor today and turn out a have a Upper Respiratory Infection (URI)!!!:crying: It majorly sux!!! But oh well here is my day. I know its not a lot but being Lethargic and all. it makes sense. B: 8oz of cranberry apple juice L: 4 bites of vanilla cinnamon oatmeal D: About 2oz of apple sauce and some blueberries S: 3 baby carrots As soon as my mom gets home with that chicken noodle Soup im going to have some of that.. Maybe if it appeals to me.... The only reason i ate at all is because i don't like taking meds on a empty stomach..

B: OATMEAL WITH SOME BLUEBERRIES L: 4 OZ TUNA WITH MAYO AND 2 CRACKERS D: Chicken noodle soup with a bit or two of a hot dog (without the bun of course) S: 8oz of cranberry juice and 8oz of Orange Juice I know avoid liquid and soft foods but not much of an appitite today and the chicken noodle soup helps with this nasty cold i got giong

Nadean I updated your info... Great Job!!!

Thanks Juli and good luck with that fill hope it helps you on your way... YOU'VE already done a FABULOUS job!!!!!:thumbup:

I finally decided to exercise more as a way to really get that scale moving.. Yesterday i spent 1.5hours at the gym!!! I really didn't want to go at first but was so thrilled that i did go afterwards... A lot more energy... But ya while i was there i talked to a personal trainer and he said he would get me a good deal if i get some sessions with them... So i decided why not.. I really need to add strength training to my routines and they will show me how to do that... I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!

Updated Rainer and Stacy

Yes i would....I am absolutely thrilled with my progress so far... Im not evena whole 11mths post-op and im down 78lbs:biggrin2:

HAHAHAHA... I'M THE SAME WAY... In that case my body wants to be 207 but misses being 209.:eek:... Actually, Its driving me up a wall crazy!!! I keep telling myself im gonna go back to weighing myself once a week, but am to dang addicted to that scale!!!

mandyjo i updated you

That's definately me.... i want to lose 10lbs by my birthday but am so frustrated right now the scale is doing the funny up a 1lb down a pound everyday... ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! ... im trying to stay off of it but its so hard.... that and the fact ive been craving sweets like crazy.... :eek: I guess everyone hits rough Patches every so often.... :eek:

updated everyone up to angie

It worked for me!!!! YAY!!

OMG!!!!!:eek: I feel the same way... i went happy with buying heels i bought like 4 pair in a 2 week period... its bad i know its just that i got so excited when i fit 8.5 heels and could walk in them!!!! But clothes wise at first i was good for a little while because the clothes i had were all tight on me (i refused to buy larger sizes.... i know denial but hey thats all the past now) but i try not to buy too much... i buy the necessary things (bras and undies) This is easy for me because i pretty much live in scrubs because i work all day and they are drawstring!!

Yay!!!! :w00t:The scale is moving down!!! Jeni 85 ......... 214.4 ..... 184 ........ 209.6 ....... 25.6 Great job to everyone so far:eek:

after being frustrated the past week the scale moved down a little not much but it moved!!!!

updated list up to heather :smile:
