Good for you Pizzicato66!! Way to go:whoo:!! My family took my scale away because it was actually doing me more harm than good. The weight just isn't leaving as quick as others or as quick as I would like. I just have to accept that but its hard. Hubby weighed me in this morning and said I was down. Not at wonderland yet but hopefully getting close. I spoke to the doctor's office last week who told me I am not eating enough:rolleyes:. Dear God....I need to set realistic expectations and get moving now.

Hi everyone!! Boy, has it been busy!! I had to take a break last week from the treadmill. My port became sore from moving around while I run:rolleyes:. You can imagine what makes it "jiggle". Anyway I went and bought myself a tight tummy toner and it worked like a charm. I have been running the last 3 days with no pain.:clap2::whoo:

Thanks!! Yes, it makes quite a difference. I am still full from my egg beaters this morning. Normally by now I am looking to snack. Have a safe trip!

I can only hope to get to the point where I want to work out. I am not weighing myself everyday because my weight fluctuates too much. Once a week will do it for me. I can feel a difference so hopefully the scale will show a difference. Since I turned 45 this year the weight is hard to drop.

30 minutes treadmill....125 crunches on the AB Lounger and a bit of boxing (that was fun....saw it on the Biggest Loser). If this continues Son #2 will get something very special for Christmas. ;) :clap2:

Salsa, The fill is great. What a difference! I ate a bit too quick today and got a terrible pain but it subsided pretty quickly. I can just about stick to 3 small meals a day and my Protein in between. I am hoping my son sticks with the exercise. It helps me because I don't want to disappoint him.

weight lifting with my son and 30 minutes on the treadmill. He has agreed to be my workout buddy. I wonder how much that will cost me!!

Hi Alexandra, I was done on 11/29 by Dr Bertha as well. It was a bit scary. He put 4cc in my 14cc band. I desperately needed this as well. By the way, support group misses you!!!

1 day down for me. I really want to make this goal this month. It will be the first time EVER that I lose weight over the holidays.

Thanks for the good wishes and GREAT advice!! It is 12:30PM and I am not really hungry at all. I brought some pureed homemade turkey soup to work because I will try eating solids at home first. I had 1/4 cup of egg beaters this morning and I was full!! I feel restricted and love it. I am doing exactly what Candle and Salsa told me about the fill. It is working and WILL WORK for a long time. I am ready now. I can feel it!! :clap2::clap2: Now to start exercising.... Thanks again to everyone....what a nice feeling to know I have so much support.

I went for my first fill today!! I am so excited. What a weird feeling. I have good restriction right now but I know that could disappear soon. I hope it stays!!:whoo::whoo:

Hi everyone, I go for my first fill tomorrow. I can't wait!! I am so hoping for restriction. If not I need to still get my head together and do this. I am attending my first support group meeting tonight. Should have been there the 2nd week or so. Oh well....time to get on the "band" wagon!! Wish me luck!!:clap2::whoo::clap2::whoo:

Thanks Frangipani! I am really going to buckle down now and hope for a good fill. It is frustrating and I am trying to hold on! Thanks for the support. I really do appreciate it and need it!

Becky, The DVD isn't boring yet because I just began. I imagine day after day it would become boring.. I don't break too much of a sweat but I do get tired. The next day I hurt. I used the Water weights too that come with the dvd. I only paid $13 for the set at WalMart.

Thanks Salsa!! I definitely will. I thought about going back to Weight Watchers for accountability but I don't want to spend the money. I will be a daily poster now!!

Forgot to post I took a 1 hour walk today! :whoo::clap2: My legs hurt but they will have to get over it!!

Texas Becky - I have a treadmill in the basement. I also have the Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds dvd. I really need to use them! Jody

I'm still here too! I read a lot of posts but don't participate because i am disappointed in myself. I get my first fill on Thursday. I can't wait!!

45 minute BRISK walk for me today. It was 30 degrees out. It felt great! I will try and go again after dinner.

Salsa, congrats on making it to Wonderland!!!:whoo::whoo::whoo: I get my first fill next Thursday...it can't come too soon for me!! I have absolutely NO restriction at all (or willpower for that matter). I am really glad you and your band are okay! You are such an inspiration. Jody

30 minute walk with my Husky....what a work out!

Salsa, That is great news!! I am down 2 more and it puts me at 205. Thanks for your support. It helps to know someone less is out there with you!!

Wow Rumar....please keep us updated!

Still here!:clap2:

Thanks for all the support!! I have actually walked everyday and got up early to do the Walk Away the Pounds DVD yesterday morning too! I did the 1 mile workout before I went to work. Felt great. Again everyone, you are such good motivation. Congrats to you all!!
