I have a question, are you eligible to win any of the prizes? I know you stated in your story that because you had lapband, you were not eligible for the grand prize. I was just wondering if there are going to be any other prizes you are eligible for?

Welcome Luluc, glad to have you! I can't believe I'm posting this, but here's my menu for today. I am going to drink a low carb slim fast for dinner to make up for my screw up today. B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- chicken nuggets from wendy's and about 10 french fries (had to kinda guess on this one) Dinner- low carb slim fast Snack- 1/4 c. lightly salted dry roasted edamame Calories- 943 Fat- 48g Net carbs- 36g :frown: Protein- 73g

Thanks Renewed! That is really weird about the pop tarts. I bought the strawberry milkshake kind for my husband and he didn't like them. I should have thrown them away immediately, I usually don't keep things like that in the house and from now on, I definitely won't. I think my restriction is getting more and more relaxed, but it will be a while before I get a fill because I think I've lost too much. Anyway, I'm just going to focus on meeting my Valentine Goal and then worry about a fill. Great job on the 2 pounds, Renewed!!!!

Chocolate snaps and Carol, great job on the weight loss!

Everyone is doing great, except me. Today hasn't been very good so far. I had a doctor's appointment out of town (2 hours away) and I had to eat lunch on the go. I ate some chicken nuggets from Wendy's and I ate about 10 of my son's french fries :frown:. I also slipped up last night and ate a pop tart. I'm going to do good for the rest of the day and be back on track for tomorrow. I went to see my Endo today and apparently the reason I'm so tired and fatigued is because of my low DHEA levels. I almost feel like I've been drugged or something. It cause depression too. I haven't really been depressed but I have noticed I'm not as upbeat lately. I just want this straightened out so I will have the energy to exercise again. My insulin levels were high too, I hope all these medicines I'm on now will level all this out. Anyway, I'm getting back on track, I promise.

Thanks Renewed! I'm glad you liked the chicken, like I said, it's my new favorite meal. Do you feel more restriction since your fill? I hope this one gets you where you need to be.

I am so sorry to hear this. I think the most important thing is to get healthy first. If it were me, I wouldn't even consider the lapband until I was healthy again. Do you know if you will have to take treatments? What is the next step for you? I am really sorry this happened to you. You are definitely in my prayers. ((HUGS))

Here's my menu and stats for today: B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- 2 scrambled eggs w/ 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 3 pieces bacon Snack- low carb slim fast Dinner- 1 chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms and swiss cheese (I'm starving today for some reason, not sure if I can eat a whole one, but I'm thinking I probably can) Calories- 945 Fat- 52g Total carbs- 21g Net carbs- 16g Protein- 98g I hope I don't get burned out on these chicken breast because they are insanely good!

I think Ebonie is talking about the Diet Hot Cocoa mix by Swiss Miss. I knew what it was because I've used it. It's really good but I prefer to drink it with skim milk.

Pizzaman I don't see how the picture could offend anyone. I definitely miss pizza. I could probably handle a piece of thin crust, but I chose not to indulge, at least for now. Thanks for the visual though, now I'm gonna be craving it, LOL!

Okay I'm updating this for you lovemyband23. When we have updates, lets copy and paste the whole list and then make changes accordingly, that way we can keep all of our stats together.

Yes, they can be cooked from the frozen state. You bake them @400 degrees for about 35 minutes.

I weighed today and I lost 1 more pound! YAY!!

Welcome guys! Thanks for the link, looks like some good recipes.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one! I think ALL the before and after pics are awesome, no matter how their neck is positioned. It seems to me like it's a problem YOU have. If it bothers you so much, maybe you shouldn't look at them.

I am definitely going to consider purchasing the biotrainer. The Bodybugg is way too expensive for me. This seems like it would do what I'm looking for, motivate me to move more. Thanks for the tip Mick!

I don't really go by calories. I'm one of those that need to watch the carbs to lose weight. I think it's partly due to PCOS and being insulin resistant. I tried doing a calorie restricted diet and it just didn't work as well for me. I agree with Jachut, find what works best for you and stick to it. Good luck to you!

Thistledo :frog:Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just spit out my Water as I was reading this :frown: I hope I didn't wake up my son because I was laughing so hard. I know it's not funny to you, but I needed a good laugh. I agree with your husband, I think you will be fine. I'm sure it's dead and probably passed right through the band. Try not to think about. Great, now I'm probably going to have nightmares about maggots, LOL

I just googled it and I am going to order it for my sister as a wedding gift. Her fiance` has 2 boys that hate vegetables and will not try anything if they know there's vegetables in it. This way, she can sneak them in.

Mick, you have done an extraordinary job! What an inspiration!!
