Such a cutie - I would say give the guy a chance :smile: You are young - don't strap yourself down with some jerk who can't commit to just datin one girl! In the beginning is when it's supposed to be the best as far as behavior so it would indicate his actions would only get worse later on. Good luck!!

I'm with salsa - what am I going to do with all my time that I spend focusing on learning healthy things, new exercises, logging my calories, measuring myself, weighing myself, checking on how things are sagging (sad but true)? I do feel slightly obsessed with the whole thing! I haven't been at this weight since before I was married - 16 years ago. My head cannot grasp it. In my head I'm at least 25# higher. I still feel like a size 16 even if I'm in a 12 now. Ugh - these head games are tough.

I hear ya babygrl!!!! What a gift this band has been :smile: You have done amazing!! On to those last 30-something pounds ...

Ghost that pudding sounds fabulous! I just wish I liked pudding :smile: Something about the texture grosses me out - it smells fabulously though so all the kids and DH buy SF pudding because they know I won't take it or even want it.

OK - I survived yesterday without coffee :smile: Of course I'm sucking a cup down right now because I didn't read Suzzzie's post soon enough - hmmmm. 3 Protein shakes w/ 1% milk - 568cal/11fat/33carb/83protein 2 bananas - 217cal/1fat/55carb/2protein Total for the day - 785 calories / 12 fat / 88 carb / 85 protein I was starving at the end of the day which is why I ended up with the extra banana. I'm supposed to go jogging tonight and go to my community band rehearsal so I hope I have enough energy. And ... don't you know the scale didn't show a stinkin ounce of a difference this morning!!!! grrrrr Only one more day .... only one more day .... only one more day!

I miss the smilies :smile: Way to go Whosya!!! (yep - I went back and watched Madagascar - too funny on the whosya foosa thing!!) Lulu - I hope you get you question answered because I'm in the same boat!! or bra lol. I wear the regular plus a tight exercise one to hold everything in. Two shirts plus my zip up coat to help conceal all that's going on when I jog. I'm a 36-38DD right now.

OOOOh - where do you find the list? I tried to look it up and I couldn't find any information on the new show coming up. I did NOT like Johnny Fairplay at all. Even if he hadn't lied about his grandma I just didn't like him - kindof like a sleezy car salesman - yuck!

wow - that was some workout by the time you made it back home! I'm in TX so not much help to you on finding a doc in GA :eek:

woooohoooooo Lynne!!!!!! Congrats to you :eek:

Amazing!!!!! woohoo for you :smile:

Every day!! Sometimes again in the evening if I feel that I've been particularly good or bad :smile: I have now started taking measurements so that I can see it changing when the scale doesn't. (one more thing to obsess over lol) I feel horrid if I can't weigh myself - like on vacation. I have to know how I'm doing.

thanks sweethot :smile: I'm hoping to find the love soon!!!! I did lose 2 pounds this week so I'm attributing that to jogging (and NOT eating chocolate)!!

I am in the same boat as well! I'm getting another fill Thursday to help kick in some weight loss. I started exercising so I've been able to lose 2# in the last 2 weeks versus nothing the 2-3 weeks before that. It has definitely slowed down on the weight loss! I know it gets harder the closer you get to goal, but then each pound makes a bigger difference in how you look too! Makes me wonder what maintenance will be like .... Jfran - you are looking fabulous!!!

I took off the day of surgery and the next day. Went back to work expecting to sit at my desk and work on the computer as usual. Don't you know there were meetings that day all over the building. I was in considerable pain and had to take 1/2 doses so I wouldn't get loopy at work. The next day was much better and I didn't have to take any pain meds - but had it with me just in case :smile:

My calories will be about 700 for 3 shakes made with 1%milk and 1 large banana for Snacks. I try to stay under 900 each day but over 600.

Oh hey - can we have coffeee?!!?! Please :smile:

No worries - I don't mind fixing it :smile: You are doing great on your weight loss!!! Manatee you are doing awesome!!! Suzzieeee!!!!!! OMG you made it!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Yum - protein drink 1, day 1 down the hatch :smile: We can DO this!!!!

I'm almost there tooo!!!!! According to fitday I am there but according to the ticker calc I'm right at a 30 bmi. Just not having that word as a part of my description is fabulous!! I don't know what my end weight will be. I've decided on 120 but I don't know if I'll get happy before then or if I need to go further. My doc doesn't think I need to lose anymore. He clearly hasn't seen my thighs or my stomach very well lol. Congrats mandyjo!!!!! wombat

Congrats on getting a date StepofFaith!!!!!! Wooohoooooo for you :smile: Welcome Mrs. Peace!!!! I'm new to the whole discussion board thing too. This is the first site that I've used and actually gotten familiar with. I tried to go to sparkpeople but I hated it and couldn't figure out a good way to navigate it. I like it better here with the people and everyone is so helpful! Prayers and Hugs for everyone today on the Lord's day. May each of us receive His special blessing that He has for each of us today. wombat <><

We did day 3 of week 2 yesterday :smile: It was tough since a cold front blew in and it was windy!!! I didn't think I was gonna make it through but we did. My DH has decided to get healthy now - so for this last week he has been dieting and exercising as well as doing the jogging w/ me. He lost 5.5 pounds and two inches off his stomach in one week!!! doggone - drives me nuts how fast some guys can drop weight when they decide to! Sorry - had to brag/complain on him

has she tried going to the emergency room if she needs an unfill? she shouldn't give up on the band so soon though. I can understand if she's having complications but there is some adjustment needed for being banded as you know :smile: hope everything turns out all right - let us know how she's doing!

Just take it easy :smile: Do your walking. You'll be sore and it will lessen each day. You will feel like a new person next week! Congrats on getting banded! wombat
