You Ladies are just AWESOME. Yeah its pretty nice up here im right near the Airport side. Got back to my hotel at 5pm and nothing to do...so what the heck..i hit the gym again! Twice in one day! Did my week 9 c25k (30min run) I made the motor on the treadmill all hot and electically stinky :/! Swam for about 45 mins after that.

Wow you guys are doing great....Away this week in Columbus OH. Exercised at the hotel this morning and im thinking about going again tonight. Went to a motorcycle store tonight (Iron Pony) its an old Kmart store converted its HUGE Jess might know it. Also Jess went to Easton Town Center WOW that place is big! Went to the store and bought lean cuisines for the freezer for the next few days dinner rather than eating out.

Good question..for me: There was something about getting the band mentally. I immediately felt like i had just got a huge tool to help me loose weight and exercise. I was exerciseing about 3 times a week before the band pre op...but it seemed just such a huge uphill struggle. As soon as i got it i wanted to exercise more. I stepped it up to just about every day. Started with 30 mins swimming then 45 then 60 then 1hr 10.. Then i started mixing in weight trainning with it then after losing some more i started the couch to 5k program. Now im up to 30min run every other day with 40 mins swim and the other days i do 45 mins weight lifting and 40 mins swimming. I can run about 2.25 miles 3x a week now and im slowly increasing. Ive had a really bad cold the last three weeks and my chest is weazing so i backed off a little on exercise right now. Probably the toughest is i have to travel for work between Oct and April every other week so now i have to make sure the hotel has a good gym or one close by. Honestly...after getting the band it did wonders for me mentally. Now i have a LONG way to go but i managed to drop 80LBS in 4 months after banding and im really hopeing to go for 100 in 6 months.

I second that..... GO RAINER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your rocking!

Ok couldnt make it to the y today. But i sholved snow...no ice...off my deck for 1 hour. Cant shake this dang cold. Got to pack again for another buiss trip.

Dibaby...Any dates this weekend? Is that last guy still crying you dumped him? Maybe he will buy you a ring for Christmas..........nnnnnnnoooooooooo.

Hey Julie you should check out the couch to 5k. sounds like you almost doing it any way. 9 week programe.

Ok here is yet another gift i recieved from one of the companys i work with. Yes full of Godiva etc..

OK not about me but heck......my wife was laying on the bed on her back last night and she say 'ow i can see my knees when i look down now! oh and i can see my hooo haa too!" She doing great! Im proud of her.

Isnt Stef great.......what a surport. She should be lapbander of the year:)

Stef....breathing and SEX? im not so sure breathing is as important.

yeah get to spin Class lady! Your my Ymca buddy now! We have a trim for the holiday thing going. i had to weigh in b4 thanksgiving and again on jan 8th. Seriously thinking about doing rubber ring water polo league. Dibaby...Any dates this weekend? Is that last guy still crying you dumped him? Maybe he will buy you a ring for Christmas..........nnnnnnnoooooooooo.

hey Steff is that you in the cheerleader ninjas photo?

Jm- Im so sorry...that totally sucks!!!! I would be really upset too. Do you go to your doc every 4 weeks? I hope you fill helps. Its weird sometimes a fill wont make much effect on me untill 2 or 3 days latter. Watch what you eat. I could have 10cc in my 10cc band and i could eat all the candy i want! Go for the solid foods! Alot of people get so over filled that they just change their diet to soft mushy foods like candy and high cal soup etc and they put weight on. Stick to chicken and solids after tomorrow. Plateus are Evil! I think it tougher women. You might be eating right and exercising right and still plautea for a while. Just keep doing it JM! I feel really bad for you...i would feel really defeated...keep coming here and keep going for it no matter what. Keep exercising keep eating right

Yep im in Columbus next week then Cleveland in Feb and Toledo in March. Go Buckeyes!

Yeah im slowly getting better. I think your wise to skip the Gym at this point being so close to your surgery! You need your energy and to get better!!! My surg said surgery is like running a Marathon on the body! Although you dont put the energy in you body has to recovery as its surgery is as hard on the bod as a marathon.

Hey thanks Jess...Im backing in Ohio next week ...woo hoo.

Oh i worked out my shoulders today and swam for 45 mins.

Wow! My head is spinning! I think everyone is different. I also think there is a heck of alot about the human bodys nutriction that no one really knows about. Im guess the only way they can find out is by doing studys and trial and error and with everyone being different its hard to get good study results. When i lift alot of weights ive found i have good results with Creatine supplements. Did you know there is even different qualitys of protien? Like 20mg of Protein in fish is higher quality than 20mg of protein in Peanut Butter or a Protein Bar. The whole thing makes my head swim. I know this though....EXTREMELY rare for a bander or any healthy person to be protein deffienct.

sure is! very hot! i cant leave her alone!

Great! If you ever go to one of the surport groups there lets us know so we can introduce ourselves.

GOooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I just love saying that.

GO Chelsea, Dang Crotia kicked us out the Euros
