    rigonj got a reaction from Bandista in Go weigh your laundry basket   
    Lol I felt the same way when I tried to lift two bags of goat food together. They are 40 pounds a piece. It's incredible to think about how you physically can't carry something yet, you were carry it around.

    rigonj got a reaction from rivergirl14 in Protein bars   
    If anyone is looking for a good Protein Bar that fills you up, I recommend the nature valley Protein Bars. I got the dark chocolate nut flavored. I had to be very careful with chewing it but it keeps me full longer than any food I've had. It has 10g Protein per bar.

    rigonj got a reaction from Wendydarling19 in Loose skin! Do you have it or no? Is it inevitable?   
    I did a good amount of working out while loosing my weight. I thought I was young enough to also spring back but in some areas it did not happen. I would also suggest the weight training while losing the weight. My arms look pretty good but could be a lot better if I did the weights early on. The inside side of my legs are saggy. I personally wouldn't wear higher shorts but if I did I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them. I've lost 110 pounds and I'm 29. I did lose it faster than I expected and that could have some bearing on the extra skin too.

    I did the same thing last week. I'm 5'0 and 128 pounds and I'm still considered overweight by the BMI chart. Society wonders why women have such an unrealistic goal when it comes to body image.

    rigonj got a reaction from 2muchfun in SURVIVOR TONY & THE PIZZA?   
    I don't watch it but I do work at a impound company with an office of 5 guys. My boss sat there today and are a whole medium pizza by himself. It's just disgusting to me now. I can't imagine consuming that amount of food. It's very difficult working there because there's always fast food and junk going in and out all day.

    Thanks ladies it's quite an adjustment. There are people that don't recognize me. I guess it comes with the territory lol. As far as what I did, I used the band for guidance and ate healthy, drank Water and exercised the whole time. My arms and thighs need some toning but I don't have too much extra skin. So now that I've hit my "goal" I'll be more focused on maintaining and doing some weight training instead of just running. I really wanted to start crossfit but I'm not sure yet. My knees have handled the 4 miles I run a day but adding the extra pressure on them worries me.

    It sounds like you might be too tight. I had the same thing happen and I gave it a week and had him take out 1/4 of the 1/2 fill he did. It was much better and at perfect restriction.

    rigonj got a reaction from 2muchfun in Wine   
    I just ate and feel so much better. I think the wine night have just irritated my stomach. It might have been a little swollen. No acid or burning now so hopefully that's what it was. The only time I had bad acid was when I was too tight. It's hard because I've had acid reflux my whole life. I have a hernia but they didn't fix it when I had my band put in so I think sometimes I aggrivated it.

    rigonj got a reaction from Mikee57 in I feel like i'm lying to people!   
    My moms step mom was the same way towards me my whole life. As well as my mom. She doesn't remember now (she suffers from dementia) how mean she was to me growing up so now when she says I look great I just say thank you. I knew that people would be happy for me with my weight loss but I guess I never expected the negative feed back from "jealous" people. I actually had someone privately message me the other day telling me my glasses are too big for my face and the lipstick I wear is to dark and she's not trying to hurt my feeling but she "had" to tell me. She's quite a bit older than me and has kids only a couple years younger than me, I'm not sure what she has to be jealous about. I just thought it was extremely rude.
