You know how to work me don't you :thumbup: you know that I am not going to do 6 freakin miles on Saturday:thumbdown: - as it is - I will be walking manually as I am going to visit my sister - leaving tomorrow at noon - oh ya i am going to the gym in the morning just to make sure i get my exercise in since I didn't go on Monday - I am drinking drinking drinking :biggrin:

Congratulations Ruby !!!! I feel the same way most of the time :teeth_smile: I ordered blacked sea bass the other night - cuz it's what I wanted (omg so good tasted sweet like lobster) - I didn't order a baked potato - cuz I knew it would be wasted. Dessert - No put for me it was about the calories - I had enough room for a bite or 2 - but didn't want the calories I need the water cops on me - I haven't been good - So you need to challenge me today - that way I will do it - I hate to lose (well except i LOVE LOSING WEIGHT)

Riberaty - Congrats on the scales moving - thats great:thumbup: What's wrong with your band - or what do they think is wrong?? Yep 699 pages - we are the #2 thread to be view and #1 with post We are very famous for some reason :thumbs_up: ck out this link - it gives the top 50 threads.... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/stats.php

I am so proud of you :biggrin2: - you are making progress :thumbs_up: How the breathing issues??? I think you should have 4 oz of wine every night - good for your heart and sleep... Tonite we did something totally diff - we did arm workout on the ball. I really enjoyed it - the girl I work out with is 28 and she is stronger than me in the arms but I am stronger in my legs - She is a bit of a whimp saying oh it's to heavy - were as I say it's not heavy enough.. I think I am more competitive than her - but I like her - our trainer will be gone next week so we are going to meet anyway and train together - I will be the teacher :frown: I really should have brought my ipod and stayed and did the treadmill - but i didn't - the ball really works your core - i loved it - it was a nice change. I am feeling better since I worked out :biggrin2:

Could be your hang over :w00t::lol: I have been craving sweets more lately - but I was looking back in my old food diaries and it looks like i go thru spurts of wanting sweets - but now they are sugar free :cool2: well 98% of the time

Darling - you are to funny to even think we would wag a finger at you of all people - we are happy that you are going to be a little over with healthy foods - your exercise will counter act any extra calories. I can't say it's the weather cuz our is so much diff - but I have been hungrier than ususal - It's ok - I know that it's hard on you (going over your calories) but you will be OK you really will - You are still eating healthy and exercising with that combination you won't gain any weight Hugs - no wagging fingers - and you sounded pretty positive about being over and that's good to hear - it's not throwing you in to pantic mode.

Good Morning Ladies Steph - on the food diary issue this is why I carry a little notebook in my purse - no excuses - I gotta admit I haven't been super faithful to it the last few days - infact forgot it on my desk last night - but did remember all my food yesterday - so jotted it down this morning.. Ok off to ck my desk since this is short week for me - cbl :tongue2:

Hey gang Phyl It looks like you have makeup - I understand the earring thing - I don't go anywhere with out them... I have like 5 diff hoops that I wear I don't know where my camera is - am too tired to look for it - should be on my desk. Ruby - Congrats on the cake front - I am really tired today - I know I would have no control - I ate my sea bass from last night about 4 oz but 2 bites too many - it came back up.... I know timi sick smily but cute - I want ice cream - thankfully I have some sf fudgecicles that I will be eating in a few. You are doing really great on the exercise front - again I am too tired I flaked today - but have trainer tomorrow so will go. Karri - What did the doc say about the hyperventaling??? Thanks on the 4's but again a fluke it's just that style of pants - but still love that they say 4... I have bagged up my 12's & 10's - I don't want to keep them cuz then I could slip back into them - I llike where I am at.. Denise - How are they hanging now Hope you are feeling better.. [/url]

Karri I knew the bday & tt date:biggrin2: - I won't be back from vegas til sunday evening so I will ck in then to see how you did (I don't have a laptop :thumbup:) Congrat on the 1/2 lbs and no bigger number - I am glad that you are getting more stable in your weight & calorie issues - I know the stress it was causing you... I know that you need to get it stable before surgery and not lose any more.. This morining my unoffical weight ws 151.5 - I really want to be 150 by the time I go to vegas - I really want to say I lost 100 lbs... I am totally fine where I am now - I have 6's & 8's and even got 1 size 4 it's those jeans that I got in my 1st 8 and then my 1st 6 and now 4 - they were only $7.99 last pair on sale last weekend - so I can say I have a 4 :smile: love it... Camping sounds more fun than my long drive (7-8 hrs) up north - but it will be good to see my sister - she hasn't seen me since November so she will be shocked.. Schools here don't do anything the last 2 weeks of school... Ok I really got to get to work ... :thumbup:

:tongue:Good Morning Gang I had GD graduation last night - then dinner (black sea bass so good have 1/2 for dinner tonight) so it was a long night - I didn't get my training in - time line just wouldn't allow it - I gotta go tonite and do my cardio - but am really tired - didn't get home until after 10:30 then had some drama (between son & GS) so I didn't get to bed until after midnite. I need to make resesrvations - where are we staying - i gotta do it in the next day or 2 - Phyl - what's the name of the hotel Whos going - phyl - linda - steph - peaches - me - Jackie???? Phyl - that 1/4 lbs will be off by this afternoon - heck I got on the scale last nite 154.5 - this morning 151.5 - none of these count but just goes to show that our weights fluctuate so much.. Linda- you really have a full plate - by 6/15 my house will be back to just me and GS and my 2 little babies - I can't wait... I don't like a lot of commontion - I have been out of my routine for about a month now and I can't wait til it get back to normal - this weekend going up north to take gd home - her other gm is coming - then next weekend home - then 6/27 leave for vegas. then maybe 7/4 back up north - who knows - I am playing that one by ear and see how I feel - Oh the thing about your sis - how sad that she missed dd graduations - I am glad she is doing better. Ruby - great on the exercise and looking at that cake - you are a stronger woman than me - I don't pig out like I use to but - i still will take little slivers here and there... Which as we all know adds up... Kari Yep it's been a little quite here - last yr at this time we were using up 10 pages in one day Jackie Hey girl - we miss you.. Karri - only couple more days of school - then BD then TT - What day is the marathon??? This old lady forgets - but 2 out of three isn't bad Ok gotta ck desk - cbl

Good Morning Gang I had company this weekend - so didn't get on the computer... Peaches & Steph - Congrats on the weight loss :smile: Karri - Congrats on the running - and the info of the PS - I just gotta get the name of the one my doc suggested - maybe next yr or this Nov/Dec. Phyl - You did good on the food issues - 1 piece of choc is what a normal person would do - not really you did better :tongue2: Kari - Too skinny - give her a hug - My son is here (he was/is the company) asked me if I needed an intervention on my weight loss - said nope - 3 lbs and I am done :biggrin2: I have 8th grade graduation tonite - it's messing with my exercise - graduation is 7 but gd has to be there at 6;15 - plus you gotta get a seat - may just go exercise for til 5 30 - can't beleived i am saying I hate missing my exercise

Lucy12 Don't get on the scale every day - pick one day a week that is going to be your weigh in day - that's the only day that your weight counts What are you eating (what stage are you Clear liquids or full liiquids) I think that ordering the books is a good idea - it will help keep your motivation up and get some insight as to our addiction for food. Also have you ck'd out the food thread here on lbt - it has good receipts for all stages - ck it out.. I am a tummy sleeper too - I was able to sleep on my side and then tummy not long after surger - I really can't remember the exact time frame but I remember getting in bed slowly geting on my side and would stay there. I would say that I could do that about a week out (which you are) Your port site is going to hurt the longest (really discomfort more than pain) 2-3 week - I was on full liquids once I got home from the hospital and cream of potato Soup was my life saver. You can do this - it's not easy - but it's doable Each day it does get better... Hugs

Hey there girl - Glad to hear that you are home and doing ok - get yiour rest you need it to heal - let us know details when you can... I am thinking about arms & tummy p.s. and boob lift - I don't want implants but I would sorta like perky boobs - they would be a b (maybe) if they cut off all the extra skin. But I am afraid of the pain... I am a baby.. TTYL xoxox Janet

Ok I have been cking thread all day - where is everyone??? Denise - Hope all went well for you today - You have been im my thoughts and prayers. Ok gang - I am off to bed - wishing everyone sweet dreams..

MaryAnn What are you having a hard time with - what can I do to help you.. I live on the other end of the USA - but will help how i can Have you check'd w/your doctor about a local support group

I would hope that we are ready for a Black President or a Woman President (personally I think it's terrible that this question has to be asked in the first place - it shows that sexism & racism still exist) On the day that he declared himself the Dem candidate (cuz he has the #'s) - I went and told my grandchildren to watch his speech. That this was a special day - a day in History that will be written about in our history book - it's about time that a women & or a man of color even have a chance to be the President of the USA. Hopefully one day we the people will get it together and understand we are the same no matter the color of our skin or if we squat or stand to pee.

Thanks JRG !!!!!

Socaldixiegal I am at my sweet spot and i still get hungry - for me the band doesn't take away all of my hunger - it stops me from eating more (I can't eat a whole taco- usually about 1/2 to 3/4 with a couple bite of Beans and some chip) - I will eat dinner be phyically full but still want to eat - Our brains are the root of our issues with food not our stomach. I am happy that you have come to the realization that it is all about your choices - that's half the battle Best wishes to you to get to your goal.. You can do it if you do the work. Hugs Janet

XXbegone I thought the article was interesting - Yep we all have our triggers - for me it's being tired - I would love to come home on a Friday nite and pig out - Sat & Sunday too - wel hell every day ate too much but more so on the weekends. I'm glad you had a good day yesterday and that today is going to be great too. Yep the secert is to keep those boot straps really tight - don't let them lag - cuz then your will power will lag... Good Job :thumbup: Way to go....:thumbup:

Karri I agree this will be a battle for our entire lives.. No I am not throwing ck sauages or anything else - I am just very aware of my thinking :thumbup:- I will not really be hungry but want to eat - this is what I really hate :thumbup:- I have been tired and just like you it's a big food trigger.:laugh: Popcorn is my life saver - but I will tell you - I WILL NOT BUY JUNK TO HAVE IN THE HOUSE... For me it's about the avoidance I am getting a little concerned - going out of town next weekend - I won't be controling what I eat to the degree that i do now and also my vegas weekend is comming up - But I think that I am so aware of all these issues - it will help me make good choice and make sure I get my exercise in... Yep together we will get there..

Hey gang - do you know that we have the hottest thread ck out this link http://www.lapbandtalk.com/stats.php

Good Morning Gang... TGIF !!!! Well I am having a problem sort of - I am still in control but that old mentality is creeping in a little - I am stopping it but am afraid of it. It's that well now you lost the weight - so you can eat again - No I can't that's how I got fat in the 1st place - I have been fighting the urge to eat more morning noon and night - I have restriction - maybe could use .01 added - but am thinking about food too much... I think I am going to go to they gym tonite - I ususaly just go M T W & Sat morning - but think I need to kick it up if I want to get these last 3 lbs gone... Ok gotta get to work - just want to let you all know that I am not invincable and still very scard - but this has always been my fear - where will I be in 5 yrs.... I know stay in the moment and don't look down the road for problems :thumbup: sometimes easier said than done:crying:
