I did lose this week so I'm happy for that.

Oh I'm still trying, and fighting off the evil cravings and I am still staying around 1200 calories a day. I am also going to curves 3 days a week. I will make it but its not easy.

Thanks for trying to encourage me. I didn't think I was a stress eater but now I'm beginning to wonder. I had a lot of things happen since Christmas and sort of really messed with my head. I think maybe thats why I am craving sweets so much. I feel like overdosing on candy bars right now.

I have been having a hard time with wanting to eat all the time. I have always had some junk in the house but I was able to just overlook it. For christmas I made Cookies and had a bunch of stuff here and I figured its christmas time I can eat a little and then I will start new after the first of the year. Well its not so easy I want to eat it. I also think I'm ready for another fill cuz I am wanting to eat real food after about 2-3 hours. I hate this so bad. My goal is to be 150 pounds my my bandiversary. Right now I'm up and down from 170- 172

Good thing I dont have no pies, cookies or cake in this house because I've been craving it for the past 2 days.

Niki, I don't mind people knowing that I had lapband surgery but, I have a lot of people ask me how I have lost so much weight and then I feel if I tell them I had surgery I just took the easy way out. I feel that sure surgery has helped to keep me motivated but I have also worked my butt off with exercising. I have also givin up a lot of my bad habits such as not eating 2-3 candy bars a day or any other kinds of Desserts I could get my hands on and a 1/4 of a bag of chips while I was wasting time on this silly computer. I think this whole weight loss deal is far from easy. I have worked hard for my weight loss.

Has anyone had an experience of their clothes falling off??? Embarrassing but true. On Thanksgiving day I was was fixing breakfast for my Daughter in law and grandkids and I had on my fat panties and a nightgown. As I was cooking I had to keep pulling up my underware well my hands was full as I was carrying something to the table and the underware just dropped to the floor. We all laughed and my dil took a picture of me holding them will make a great picture for my weight loss scrapbook page.

Way to go Fenton. By the time you meet that new lady you will have to buy new pants, you wouldn't want your pants to fall off your body when you meet.

I updated my picture not sure how good you can see it seems like the picture is too small.

I have 13 more pounds to lose till I'll no longer be obese. Last time I was in the only overweight category I was 18-19 years old, and now I'm 45. Funny how we are happy to be only overweight.

good job sugarbean did u lose that just since surgery?

I went to curves 3 times now and I gained weight hope that soon stops.

I plan on cooking my normal thankgiving meal and I also plan on eating everything I make. I will only eat a bite or 2 of everything and I plan on enjoying it. Then I'll probably eat leftovers the next day. I also plan on eating a peice or 2 of pie. My son and his family will be here and I will give them a lot of the left overs. My biggest weakness will be the pies so I'll try to have them out of my house as quick as possible. My calorie intake will probably be on the high side for about 2 days, but if I think of what I used to eat over the holidays it will be about 90% less. I used to be able to eat 3 peices of pie a day or maybe even more. I know I won't do that ever again.

Fenton I'd be happy to be your inspiration! I know you can do it. You wont even have to give up steak! The only things I have totally given up is soda and chewing gum. I just eat a lot less of the foods I have always ate. Before the band I would sit in front of this computer and eat candy bars, and chips I did that every night. Now If I eat at night its an apple or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I hardly ever eat junk food at the house, now if I go to a party I will eat a handful of chips or have a peice of cake. I still have to force myself to stop its far from easy. I have been walking about 2 miles here at my house about 4 -5 days a week but now that the weather is yucky I joined curves. I just started yesterday I hope I like it and stick to it. I joined the gym last winter and sort of felt uncomfortable there most of the members was in good health and weight. At curves its all ladies and most of them are there for the same reason as I am they are over weight.

I went to curves yesterday for the first time I think it went pretty good and I do think I'll like it. I had a membership at the gym for a while and I sort of felt out of place there. When I went to curves it was all women which I liked and I'd say half the people going was overweight. At the gym it was more people in good shape and health working like crazy. Curves is more my speed. I woke up this morning and the back of my neck was stiff not sure what caused that and my lower back was a little stiff till I got up and moved around a bit.
