  18. Sandra, here's the hypersite for the Body Bugg: I think. 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs Sheila
  19. Hey Sandra, Have you heard of the Body Bugg? If not go to this site and check it out 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs Its a gadget you wear on your arm and it tracks your calories and steps and what you eat you interact online with inputting your meals and you can even buy an electronic watch monitor to make it easier. It cmes with a 2 month coach who calls you to set it up and track food and all I just got mine and its a hoot. I'm off to gym to try it out and see how many calories I burn their. I know when I'm down and out a new toy helps me It's marked down considerably t $159 down from $ 349. the monitor is on sale at $79 down from $99. Just a thoought. I'm thinking of you see.Ha HA Sheila
  20. suzzzie. Hey Girl I received my Body Bugg in the mail. I'm psyched now. I tried adding food I consumed yesterday and that was a long process hopefully will get easier. I'm off to gym now to try the bugger out will let you know thanks for the encouragement your great. Sheila
  21. Sandra, I just read your post. I can relate to your being able to eat until recently I felt unrestricted. I have read all your post with interest and have leardned alot from you. Are you still trying to stick to your shakes in the morning and night? I found this very helpful to me. I will sonetimes substitute a nutrition bar for a shake so I can chew something. Recently I started listening to relaxation and subliminal Bariatric cd's to help loose the weight. It seems to put me in the right stage of mind if you know what I mean. I went on line and looked for cds for lap band surgery subliminal cds ther out there but I thought pricey so I went to just weight loss ones it helps me. Give it a try I try and listen when I feel like splurging. Hope this helps I'm praying for you. Sheila
