Suzzzie.

I had such withdrawls to this site that I called Miss Stef at home and bugged her - kept her from cleaning her house - for 2 hours. :car: (Sorry!!) But, having the site down did help me to get off'a my duff and get my ass outside to walk. Did 2 miles... then last night I went out with a friend to a corn maze, I'm not sure about the distance we walked then, but we were in there for like 1 1/2 hours. Fun fun. (Until she dragged me to Texas Roadhouse to eat and forced 1/2 cup of chili and 2 chicken strips down my throat!! Grr!)

Rhonda - You look great! - Yes, the site was off for EVERYONG ALL DAY YESTERDAY! Grrr!! Captain Dan - My port gets sore if I bend over to tie my shoes some days. Lol. ut I still have a ton of fat too. As for abs, I go to the gym and use a few different machines that don't require bending all the way over, and focus on abs.

Hello... Echo, echo, echooo.... So... everyone at work finally noticed my weightloss and congratulated me. At the time I was like "Yay, you noticed! Finally!" But today I'm SICK of it! They all seem to think that now they can talk about my weight and weightloss freely. They talk about it amongst themselves and around me. They are all proud of me (none know about the band though, they just see what I"m eating and know I exercise)... but I"m tired of it now. Just tell me I'm doing good, that I look good, and MOVE ON! Don't badger me about it and make fun of my fat free yogurts and my protein shakes. I've been eating/drinking like this for 4 1/2 months now!! GET OVER IT! Sorry. I'm all ranty and bad moody today. Then tonight I was cleaning out my computer and found a letter I wrote to my mom just 6 days before surgery. It was my 'what if' letter, telling her why I chose to not only have the lap band, but why I didn't tell her and I left her all of my info like life insurance and car payment stuff... all my bill stuff and links and passwords to my online diarys and this place and stuff like that. Also directions on what to do with my stuff, like my cats and teddy bear and clothes and just random things like my digital camera, my computer, my shoes, my books, TV, etc... etc... So depressing and it made me cry. Makes me wonder if I was willing to actually die in order to be thin. And for some reason my port has been hurting me? Bah. Hopefully its the full moon from last night that is killing my attitude...

If you got it on eBay you will NOT have the 3 month subscription and WILL have to pay $199 for your first 3 months... So, combining that with the cost of what you paid on eBay and it wasn't a good deal at all... considering if you'd got it on 24hourfitness.com you'd only paid a total of $229! (I know this cause I'd been looking on eBay for a while before I decided it wasn't worth it!) See if you can cancel your order, or return it.

Yes yes. MUCH cheaper!! Free shipping (exactly 7 days for mine!) and I only paid $229.20.

Guinea Pig?? Are you calling me a pig?!?!? Oink. Oink. OK. I HATE tracking foods and stuff... I had to do it with WW and then I tried it on sites like fitday and stuff... hated it! But the BB is different, I guess cause you can also see the calories to BURN. Its FUN to pun in everything i eat and then upload my calories burned and see the deficit!! I LOVE watching my steps to see that I make at least my 10,000 each day. I LOVE seeing how many calories I burn during weird things like giving a patient a bed bath, or passing my medications. Lol. Its so fun! I now take the stairs at work at least 2 days a week - down and then up! (I work on the 8th floor of a hospital) I even have a few co-workers who are taking the stairs with me! Of course I'm still fat and out of shape so I have to stop twice to catch my breath! ANyway... if the BB ever stops amazing me - or becomes a chore - I will let you know. All I know is that today it kept me from eating a Reeses PB cup cause I didn't know the calories for it and wouldn't h ave been able to log it in! Yay me! Yay BB!

OMG, Kat!! THats cool. I cna't wait to leave the doc office and not have OBESE listed as a 'medical condition.'

Yay!! A convert!! OK, I personally wear it ALL the time - except during my morning shower... and I'm at the point where I miss it then! I think I have separation anxiety, Lol. Its fun to uplaod it in the mornings ans see that just durning my sleep I've already burned dang near 700 calories... But my right arm gets tired of it, so at night I switch it to my left (but if you put it on your left arm it has to be upside down for the censors to read correctly.) Everyone at work was asking about the sex thing... but since I've been (purposely!) celibate for dang near 2 years... I"m not quite sure!! Lol. When I first got it I was like, 'dang, now I'm gonna have to go have sex with my man!' Lol!! Nooo... he has to buy me a ring first - or at least convince me that he loves me and only me... but thats a whole other thread! Ha!!

30 minutes walking/jogging in place in my bedroom while watching Greys Anatomy... I was too lazy to actually GO to the gym! But at least I moved and got to my 10,000 steps (according to BodyBugg!) New total: 690 minutes... only 110 left! Not only do I think I'll MAKE my goal.. I think I'll surpass it!!!!!

It WILL be better - I can say that I've had my Bugg on since Monday night at about 8pm and I've already lost 2 pounds. Its a freaking MIRACLE WORKER!!!

*rechecks box BodyBugg came in* ....damnit! Still no friggin COOKIES!!! As for not wanting to log in 'crap' I totally feel ya!! I went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner and had to force myself to log in the 3 chocolate chip cookies I ate!!! Ugh! Its all good though. I went over my daily calorie intake by like 300 cals... (I aim for 1200. and am just over 1500) but now I'm working to make that up by walking in place in my room during Greys Anatomy. I need to burn about 90+ more cals to break even for my deficit... Its all good... Plus, I still need to take like 2500 steps to reach my 10,000 step goal! Have I mentioned how KICK ASS this damn Bugg is?!?!? Now I need a BIKE and I'll be set! This time next year I'll be a Skinny Fit Bitch!

I can now EASILY fit into booths at 2 of my fave resturants!! Lol. I can't eat as much when I'm there either, which is GOOD. I love sitting there and not having my fat all squished up and hanging over the top of the table! Hahahaa!

Thats a great list! Thanks for sharing!

Yum BeckieT!! those sound sooo good!!

Nothing at Kohls fits me. Boo! But it WILL soon. Lol. Never heard of that place in Platte City! I haven't been up that way in probably a couple of years, but I will give it a shot! Do they have lots of Plus size clothes? Thats usually the thing I find at places like that, nothing in MY size!

Holliwags - thats great! Glad you got to go and talk it out - AND lost 9 pounds!

Yeah, stick to fluids for a couple days and see where that gets ya!

Ya'll are doing so well! I think I'll weigh tomorrow morning (I don't wanna wait 2 more weeks for my appt!!) and change my ticker accordingly. I know I've been weighing like 326-328 the past few days...

I didn't have ANY trouble ordering mine at all! Its just so weird that some of ya'll are having issues!! Yeah, when I told my mom about it she was like 'You spent WHAT??" (cause I owe her like $1000!) but when I told her what all it does and that it is much much much cheaper than weight watchers or any other diet thing she was like, "OK then." Lol. (Shh, she doesn't know I have a lapband!) Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how you could finish your work day! I was so insanely excited the whole day I was at work that I knew it was being delivered... checking the UPS site about every 20 minutes... I think if it came while I was at work I would have had to *cough* be sick and go home!! It is one hell of a kick ass toy, no?? I have NO clue! I haven't set mine up yet. Ooops. I guess I don't even feel like I need a session. Um, Maybe I'll get it set up anyway... Maybe it does some neat-o tricks that I don't know about. Lol!

Yes yes yes! Charst and graphs!! OF EVERYTHING! YOu can see little bar graphs of the steps you tsake, your calories burned per minutes all day, etc. It's truely freaking AWESOME! Everyone should have one! And if I can't convince my co-workers and friends then I MUST help convert you all!! Lol. Reall, you all should blame Puddin, cause she is where I first heard out it. And if she looks that damn good, then by golly gosh I'm gonna go for it!! BG- You got cookies and stuff!?!?! WTF? I only got some strudle bar thingy that was hard as a rock. Ugh. I LOVE the Apex cookies. Boo on you.

Lol. Mine was out for delivery for TWELVE hours before it arrived!! Let me (and everyone else) know when you get it! I'm anxious to see how much you just LOVE it!

I, personally, think that the producers should have kicked Neil off for unethical behavior.

Lol. YOu can get all up in my ass anytime you want! If I don't need it today I'm sure someday soon I will!!!!! And its so true about the BodyBugg getting you up and moving BG! I made damn sure I got in 10,000 steps today - had to drag my ass up to the gym at 9pm to be sure I got it all in! I'd already burned more than my desired calories for the day, but danged if I still owed my body nearly 3000 steps!! I LOVE THIS THING! TOday at work people were talking about Thanksgiving food - and everyone knows I'm exercising and eating better - they just think I'm 'dieting' cause they don't know about my band... so they were trying to tempt me with ideas of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, holiday candies, turkey and dressing and gravies... Lol. And I can HONESTLY say that for the first time in my life - I don't even care! I'm rarely really hungry anymore - and I know most of that crap would just get stuck and make me PB anyway, so whats the point! Besides... I TRUELY see how much damn WORK I have to do at the gym to get a few stinking calories off'a my ass, and it's just not worth it!! Drop the fork ladies and gentlemen... life is better when the calories are in reverse!
