Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this is a wonderful year for everyone. I am going to be joining a new ladies gym that reopened in the next town, tomorrow. Access to a gym close enough that it was feasible to drive to has been a problem. Best of luck all.

I really enjoy having something that I can do on the days that I am not at the gym that gets me moving and is fun and I am able to laugh my way through. And in all truth I feel it when I have done any real time with it. My arms are sore the next day after tennis or boxing. :confused:

I am really excited now! I have wanted something fun to do on the days I don't get to go and workout and something that offers more than just watching the same people do the same thing. With this even though it is the same game you change and get better and can interact with it. That is one of the reasons I like the wii sports now, because I am moving jumping around and can interact with the "players":thumbup:

I hope this finds everyone recovering from their Christmas celebrations and moving into a wonderful New Year. May God Bless Each And Every One Of My Lapband Friends Today And Everyday To Come Cindy:rolleyes:

help me out here, I have the wii and am planning on getting the wii fit this next month but could you explain the mii??? I have seen it on the wii menu but now i only do wii sports because I can only get to it when the kids are busy doing something else. LOL!

Do you need the wii fitness to use the outdoor adventure? I got my sons the wii for Christmas but do not have the fitness or balance board yet so just wondering if I need to get both or get one then the other. I was already planning on getting the wii fitness this January.

I took this and refined it to another beef cut and my family loved it Changed tenderloin to tenderized round steak the dry red wine to beef broth (I had no wine on hand) and used country bob steak sauce and then I simmered the cooked steaks in the sauce and onion mix for about an hour on very low heat.:frown: I love trying new ways to cook the everyday things we eat.

Everyones doc gives such different advice, my doc has no restrictions on soda other than it has to be diet soda. I still drink soda but have cut my addiction from 4 dt. dr peppers down to 1 or 2 a day. Still not great but much better.

If you are feeling dizzy or lightheaded I would be sure that you are getting enough protein each day. I am 1 1/2 yrs out and I am half way to my goal but I can always tell days that I do not get enough protein because I have the same type of things, dizziness, headaches and not feeling like myself. Congrats to everyone on how well you all are doing and for having the courage to go down this lapband road, it is not a strait flat road but a beautiful trip down a bending, winding, raising and falling road. So enjoy the trip, look around and take a deep calming breath.:frown:

I have to agree with the general feeling, go to your doc and talk honestly about how you are feeling, how hard things have been going and how frustrated you are feeling. The staff should be there to help you not make this journey harder.:frown:

Please count me in I need this so bad! This came at a perfect time. I am setting a goal of 15# by Valentines Day. That would put me at 175#, which is lower than I remember ever being.

Have you talked to your Dr. about this? In my case my support group and one of the nurses from where I had surgery have been a God send. I like having someone who has been there to talk too, they can put into perspective what I feel and most of the time I come away feeling so much better.

We live to far from any real town to purchase a gym membership. So I have a gazelle at home, I also walk and do water aerobics when the weather is good. I would love to have a curves close by but the closest is 6o minutes away. I do have access to the equipment at the school, but they are only open for a limited time frame each day and with my work it does not mesh for me. So I do the home workouts. I really do enjoy being able to do things on my time, be it mid morning or in the evenings.

For 10 days I am going to totally focus on what I am eating, at least 3oz of protein for my 3 meals plus steamed veggies. No snacks or if I appsolutly need something sweet then ff jello or pudding pops. I am taking my vitamins each day plus I take a protein suppliment each day. And my (LEAST) most favorite 30 minutes of excercise each day. By setting a 10 day goal I have a reachable end I can get to.

My port is on my left side, just under my rib cage. I can feel mine but it does not stick out yet, hopefully as I loose more it does not bulge out horribly but I will not mind at all, small sacrifices.
