Awww, thanks Whosya! :cursing: I feel better already!! You always have a way of making people feel better about themselves. Thanks again!!!

Well, I lasted a lot longer than I thought I would. I cheated and weighed myself this morning. I wish I had not because I am up 2 lbs and now discouraged :cursing:

Bonnie~ No need to feel silly. We are ALWAYS here to listen. I'm really glad you feel better now.

LOL, I remember that picture....too funny!! BTW, congrats Fairy!! How exciting!!

LOL! I have to say this was the best meatloaf I've ever had. Totally different from traditional meatloaf, but very good.

IF you continue eating soup after you get good restriction, it's best to choose a chunky soup. I love Wendy's Chili. It's hearty and it keeps me satisfied for a while. Thin, creamy soups will go right through your band. Just hang in there for a while longer. I promise you see a difference when you get good restricion.

Greek yogurt has a lot of Protein in it. I find myself eating it more and more. I don't care for it plain, so I add a tbsp of honey to mine. You could also mix Cereal with yogurt instead of milk. I do this because if I use milk it goes straight down and doesn't keep me satisfied very long. Aubrie~ Love all your breakfast ideas!

Great ideas Sherri! I love roasted red peppers and sundried tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!

Bonnie~ ((hugs)) I agree with luluc, don't panic! I know that's easier said than done. Like you said, it could be nothing. Hang in there...you will be in my prayers.

I've been doing pretty good with my water. I haven't been getting 100 ounces but I've been making sure I get at least 64 ounces. I am going to try to gradually work up to the 100 ounces.

Renewed~ I love the picture of you and the kids. They are both sooo cute. I'm praying you get some rest today and tonight so you will feel better tomorrow. ((big hugs))

This sounds really good. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Yeah, I changed it. I like to change things up every now and then... I did another day of week 3 this morning. I usually run in the afternoon or evening. I didn't feel like I had a lot of energy today but I ran through it. Anyone else notice they don't have much energy in the mornings? I guess it's probably because I haven't had much food. I'm usually a little tight in the mornings, so I can't eat solid food. Today I drank a low carb slim fast.

Sorry Leslie. Hope it goes better this afternoon. Stuff gets in the way sometimes, but as long as you keep going and don't give up, you haven't failed. Hope your day gets better and good luck with your run this afternoon.

tootie and Leslie~ Good luck with week 4!! Kathy~ Great NSV! Jeannie~ I usually either do some strength training or play the Wii Fit on my off running days. I swim sometimes too. Swimming is a good one, it really gets my heart pumping. Renewed~ Ya'll are in my prayers. I'm so glad your mom is going with you. If I lived closer, I'd go with you. This week will be a hard one for you, just know we are here for you! Well, I'll be doing another day of week 3 today. I think I will move on the week 4 Wednesday. I'm pretty nervous about week 4 because of the increase of running time and the decrease of walking time in between. The walking really helps me get my breathing under control, especially the 3 minute walk after the 3 minute run. Mind over matter, mind over matter, mind over matter...if I keep thinking that, maybe it will work, lol!

I got my invitation yesterday too! Can't wait!

This thread was going strong for a couple of days and now it has died out again, lol. How is everyone??? Did everyone survive the bad weather? The wind got pretty bad here. We must have had some roof damage because we have water leaking in our house. The man we rent from is supposed to be sending someone out to fix it today. Hope you are all doing okay!

Mamato~ Sorry things are so rough right now. You are ALWAYS going to be welcome here. You are one of us and there's no going back, lol! I do understand why you feel that way though. When my knee wouldn't allow me to run, I kinda felt the same way. It's hard watching everyone else progress when you can't, and hard to stay on track too. ((hugs)) smsmithart~ I agree with Kathy...slow down! 6 mph is fast! Work on time right now. Speed will come later. Take care and good luck! Kathy~ Sounds like ya'll had a lot of fun! The food sounds wonderful....except the chicken feet, lol! Glad you had a good time!

WTG Whosya!! You Rock!!

I'm sooo in! Love the LITE idea!! Just got home from the gym and did another day of week 3. The knee is hurting a bit, so I'm gonna take some Tylenol and it should be better tomorrow. I hope to move on to week 4 soon. I hope this thread NEVER dies. Even when we all finish the C25K, we still need to keep this thread alive. I don't think I could do this without all of you. Oh, and I love the idea of all of us meeting one day. How cool would that be?!

I forgot to list my ultimate exercise goal. I would have to say running the 5k without stopping is the major one. I too would eventually like to venture off into biking and more swimming. Maybe a triathlon eventually?? This may sound crazy, but lately I've been thinking about eventually working at a gym. I know, weird right? I stay at home with my son now and I thought maybe when he's ready to start school, I may try to get a job in the fitness dept at the YMCA part time. I should be pretty close to my goal weight by then. Seems far fetched right now, lol. I don't know, just something I've thought about.

For bananas, I cut the banana in half first and wrap the half I'm not eating with clear plastic wrap. It works pretty well.

My ultimate goal is to weigh 150 lbs. I plan on having a tummy tuck, thigh lift, breast lift, and arms done. I also plan on having laser hair removal done as well. Can't wait!! Oh, and DH said he will take me on a cruise. Never been on one before, so that's really exciting!!

I usually drink my breakfast. What about yogurt or oatmeal? You should check out the "Share ideas" thread....lots of ideas there.
