Woohoooo!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! wombat

Hey we got moved!!! I was wondering where we went to Hugs & Prayers for all - God Bless! wombat

I would say the biggest thing for me was slowing down on the eating. Pausing between bites for 30-60seconds to "feel" how things are going. Because I too was getting to the point of PB; as soon as I felt the feeling it was too late.

Updating again .... I still don't think I'm going to make the goal by the 14th; but I was stretching it. My original goal was to hit this weight by 2/23 for my b-day (that might still be a stretch) name.............starting#......current#......goal#.....togo# Anitak33...........245............218..........199.......19 Anna2766____.......232............232..........220.......12 TxArcher...........360............353..........345........8 Candle.............218............211..........207.......4 Cerrin.............350............350..........325.......25 chickatee..........188............182..........175.......7 Cookielover........202............202..........192.......10 cQQlgirl...........220............217..........210.......7 Faithmd............306............301.2........296.......5.2 georgiagirl........275............265..........260.......5 Hollyberries.......298............298..........285.......13 Hoppingto..........350............314..........294.......20 Irishmae11.........233.8..........234..........219.......15 Jennie1976.........290............251..........235.......16 jfran..............187............181..........177.......4 Jillrn.............176............176..........166.......10 Jsrico.............255............178..........165.......13 juliegeraci........220............220..........210.......8 KarenG.............207............194..........189.......5 keekahari..........220............217..........205.......12 kjl315.............237.5..........231..........220.......11 legster............223.5..........212..........199.......13 LessnLess..........172............168.5........164.......4.5 liz_hager..........202............198..........190.......8 Manatee............188............178..........175.......3 Mandyjo............191............187..........180.......11 metawnny...........252............252..........240.......12 MJRouse84..........274............233..........218.......15 nip50..............250............243..........238.......5 Rainer.............264............253..........248.......5 Redtulips3.........248............233..........226.......6 RenewedHope........228............215..........210.......5 rharriet...........367............256..........248.......8 Sades..............229............199.7........189.......10.7 Skinny_Jill........195............190..........180.......10 Stacy73............230............223..........222.......1 SueMagoo...........230............224..........220.......4 Sunny112...........145............145..........140.......5 Susan4794..........240............240..........225.......15 Suzzzie............303............294..........290.......4 SWEETY.............180............174..........170.......4 Trystelle..........219............211.5........205.......6.5 Twilight...........206............194..........185.......9 uxbus5.............240............240..........230.......10 want2lose..........236............236..........225.......11 wombat712..........154.8..........148.6........140.......8.6

Oh me too!!! I'm in 12's right now. About to move into 10's. I have a pair of size 10 jeans from my sister and I help them up to me last week and said no way these will fit. My friend convinced me to try them on. Umm they were snug but they buttoned and zipped :tongue: Not quite ready for public viewing but I'm getting close! I just purchased another set up sleep wear since I'm sooooooo cold all the time. I bought a large - it is huge on me! I NEVER thought I could fit into a medium anything. I am top heavy so I generally have to go with at least a large but apparently not in sleep wear :eek: On the other hand I bought my new undies a size too small - when do our heads catch up? lol wombat

Ooooh I'm such the slacker :eek: OK, I'm going to either do my couch to 5K or cardio at home 5 days a week; do my morning 7min exercise program for toning every day; ugh ... and some pushups /situps (YUCK) each day. Let's get our booties in gear!!! LJM you are an amazing inspiration!!! wombat

Yep - that was an "almost" stuck :wink2: It is uncomfortable. A stuck will usually start the salivating. For me I get to the point where I can't swallow anymore - not even spit. At that point it's a lost cause for me - it's PB time! I used to fight it but I've decided that spending an hour being completely miserable spitting into a cup was probably more damaging than just having a quick upheave of the offending food. I have always HATED throwing up with a passion - avoid it at ALL costs!! I can now just face the potty and assume the position and remove the offending item. It's really not the same as throwing up since there isn't any acid/stomach juices etc. Just the chewed up food. hope you doing better now! wombat

Most definitely!! I can either eat 2-3 bites only - possibly have a PB or I can drink a slimfast for 30 minutes. I generally just drink my Breakfast because nothing works very well. Mushie Cereal, eggs, oatmeal- whatever just doesn't work in the morning. I feel the slimfast gurgling through so it's best for me to drink :wink2: wombat

Yeah - some liquids for a couple of days should help reduce the swelling. Maybe it just got irritated from something and is just staying too tight with you trying to eat. It's a vicious cycle sometimes {{hugs}} to you! wombat

I'm working on the couch to 5K jogging program right now. Had about two weeks off due to being really weak with the no-carb 2-day challenge, got a fill, and it's stinkin cold outside!! My plan is to get to where I can actually jog 5K in 30minutes. My family is doing it with me and we are all going to sign up for a local Fun Run in May/June. We all have bikes so I hope that we can get to some local trails. We all have tennis racquets (which I suck at this one) so I hope to chase a stupid yellow ball around the court. I want to tear the kids AWAY from the TV / Video Games!! Other than that - not much :wink2: It all sounds good but this is Texas and when it's not too stinkin cold - it's too dang hot!! I'm hoping that I will build up some heat tolerance! Hugs to all Junies!! wombat

Happy Birthday Whosya!!!!!!!! I am bound and determined to run this week!!! Even if I have to knock the icycles off of my nose!!! I miss it and that feels really weird to me!! I've been doing cardio tapes in the house since I haven't been going outside in all this cold. I have been surprised that I have been able to last 30minutes on those without sweating profusely! I will be doing week 3 - sorry to be behind y'all! wombat

Nume - maybe they know more about weight than we do. I set my goal at 120. I'm 5'0". My doc says that's too low as well and said I should shoot for 130. Also, it would be easier to maintain. I don't know - it sounds kindof high for me. Depending on the chart I can weigh between 95 (not happening) and 128. I guess I will do a self review when I get there and see if I'm happy with the results. {{hugs}} wombat

I weighed in this morning at 149.4!!! I haven't been in the 140's since I was dating my husband 17 years ago!!!!!! OMG - I did a nekkid dance around the bathroom - I'm sure it was very sightly and entertaining for DH :hurray: I'm sorry - I just had to share my excitement! hugs for all wombat

I would suggest the wipes with Vit E. Very soothing :hurray: Hope you are feeling better today! wombat

I think it just takes a little time to get used to good restriction. I got good restriction on my fill (Last Thursday). I still can't eat breakfast. I drink slimfast or if I wait a couple of hours I can eat maybe 1/4c of something. I have pb'd more in the last week from this fill. It lets me know when I ate too fast or didn't chew enough. If I eat too fast then I can only eat about 3 bites of anything. I can eat more when I do the soft foods but then I'm hungry sooner. Now I can eat about 1/2c at night of solid food. I hope you feel better soon!! wombat

I'm in McKinney - North of Dallas. I LOVE Corpus though - I'm so jealous :rolleyes2: I certainly hope it's warmer there than up here! wombat

Aubrie - have you been squishing my arms?!?!?!! Mine are the same way!! I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and my 14yr old boy walks by and stops suddenly - he says "hold your arm out" which I do like an idiot. He starts flapping my arm and tells me I'm just like my 80yr old granma!!!! I wanted to kill the boy :rolleyes2:

Welcome Diva and Augusta!!!! Praise God for this site. I read the praise report earlier and it just put a big smile on my face. I didn't have time to reply at that time (shouldn't have been online at all). I just get a warm fuzzy when I can SEE God at work. Such a blessing! Hugs and Prayers for all :rolleyes2: wombat

My doc does .5 cc at a time. That's fairly aggressive after you've gotten restriction. But he also tests it with fluoro to make sure it goes through right. Good luck on your fill!!! My last one (last week) has been fantastic - it's definitely made me slow down and chew ... or else! wombat

I'm 37 - but about to turn 38. I'm am squeezed into a size 10 today (had to wear spanx). Another 5 # and they should be ok. So I still don't know what my end size will be. I'm an apple shape so my tummy needs a larger size than my butt and thighs.

Woooohoooo!!! Congrats on joining bandland :redface: Every day is an improvement - just take it easy and try to walk when you can. {{hugs}} wombat

I'm gonna start it too!!!!!! I need to kick start this body again :redface: Thanks bigbaby! Starting weight 150 - we'll see where I'm at in 10 days!! wombat

I'm prayin - I'm prayin!! For jaunderwood, Thor for surgery, and Candy's friend {{hugs}} wombat
