Good luck with your 5k Renewed! That's so exciting!! I can't wait to hear about it! I ordered mine from 24 hour fitness. The supervisor did call me back and I am all set to go. I entered all my info and I am going to start wearing it tomorrow. Question: After I entered all my info, it told me to eat 1700 calories a day. Did any of you have a caloric intake that high? That seems too high to me.

Well, I just talked with a man from technical support and he said that he can't help me. He said a supervisor is the only one who can help me. He says the serial number hasn't been activated. He wasn't much help with telling when I could expect them to call me. He said it could be today, or it could be 3-5 days. He confused me so I'm just waiting for a call from someone who can tell me what to do. Hopefully it won't take 3-5 days....

Thanks Godshelp! I'm going to try calling again in a little while first, then I'll email her if I can't get anyone. The recording didin't give me an option to hold. It just said to leave a message. I'll try again though and see what happens.

I am staying on plan today because I have a loooong way to go and I won't get there by constantly deviating. Plus, I have new motivation......my bodybugg!

Mine has a zero in front, but it says to omit it. The number can only be 7 digits, which is what I am putting in. I just called technical support and had to leave a message. The message says they will call within the next business day, but I hope they call me back today so I can start using it.

My Bodybugg came in today!!! YAY!! I'm already a little aggravated though. I have been trying to enroll my bodybugg and it keeps telling me my serial # is invalid. I am typing in the number printed on the inside of the battery cavity, excluding the zero. I dunno why it's not taking it? I was hoping to enroll it tonight and start wearing it first thing in the morning, but I guess I'm gonna have to call them in the morning. Anyway, still excited about it!

Sorry you are feeling so bad. I hope it's nothing serious. I hope you feel better soon and they find out what's going on. Take care and keep us posted.

Hey Debbie! Welcome to LBT! I am keeping my fingers crossed that you qualify! Good luck and keep us posted!

I've been slacking off in the exercise department too! I got my bodybugg today!! I am soooo excited about using it. I am going to register it tonight and start wearing it tomorrow. I am definitely going to the gym tomorrow. I can already see that it's going to motivate me to move more.

Yeah, I don't think Cook is as good as Daughtry either. He's good, but doesn't compare to me. I love Daughtry! In fact, I think season 5 contestants were the best as a whole. Bucky Covington and Kellie Pickler are doing pretty well with country. Daughtry, Katherine McPhee, and Elliot Yamin are doing good too. Even though Taylor won, I don't think he was the best. I never hear anything from him?

Jayme It is VERY important to stick to your surgeons guidelines. I just can't stress enough how important it is. Your stomach needs time to heal. You need to call your doctor and let them know since you are feeling uncomfortable. I have no way of knowing whether or not you've messed up your band, but it's possible. I hope everything is fine with your band. Good luck.

Hey RosieJo! I was banded by Dr. Bagnato 9-20-07. I am really pleased with Dr. B and his entire staff! We have a support group thread in the Georgia forum. Join us, introduce yourself. We have a great group of people and I don't know what I would do without them. Here's the link if you want to check it out. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f31/bagnato-bandits-50475/ Good luck and nice to meet you!

Apparently you can chicken fry anything....

Hey Missy. I am taking online courses to be a MT at home. I've only completed 3 tests but I think I am going to like it. I am a SAHM and my son is two. He'll be going to preschool next year and I am excited about working from home and looking forward to the extra income. I hope it works out for you, whether you stay where you are or do it from home. Good luck!

Oh, I got all my curls chopped off yesterday. I finally got the haircut I've been wanting. It is sooooo short compared to what it was. I like it, but it will take some getting used to. I would post a picture but I've been sick with a virus most of the day and I look like total crap! Maybe within the next week I can get a picture to post.

Hey Brina! My face is actually looking and feeling better. This may sound odd, but I've been putting organic raw apple cider vinegar on my face. My mom uses it for everything and suggested dabbing it on with a cotton ball and I think it's really helping. She convinced me to drink it a few years ago when I was trying to get pregnant. I mixed a few teaspoons of the vinegar with water and honey, and I drank it everyday for about 3 months. I did get pregnant while I was drinking it. I had been trying for about 3-4 years before this and nothing ever worked. She has made me a believer of it. I hope you find the class you are looking for. I took pottery in high school and I loved it. I'm really into the artsy stuff. I like to paint and draw too. I have actually thought about taking some type of art class too. I don't really have time right now though, but once I finish my online classes I might just look into something. Mia- hang in there. The important thing is you are feeling better. Just do the best you can until you can get a fill.

Hi there. I don't know anything about the insurance, but I just wanted to say that I hope you get your approval. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey Bobbie and welcome to LBT! I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that you get approved. Good luck and keep us posted.

Congrats on the pre-op weight loss! Good luck with your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

I agree with ya'll. I'm not lovin the top 4 (as a whole). Jason's performances were awful, he needs to go. I have to say, Syesha is the most improved. She growing on me (a little). I still think she is better suited for Broadway though. I am trying to cut David A a break, I really am. He has a great voice to me, but I just do not like his cheesy song choices at all. (Notice I was a lot nicer this week) IMO, David Cook is the best of the four remaining. He almost always makes the songs sound like they were just written (with the exception of his first song tonight). I don't know about ya'll, but I'm sick of hearing all these old songs. I want to hear some modern music. I think this is why I like David C so much, he makes his songs sound modern, the rest of them don't.

Great job on the 50 lbs!! I agree with everyone else, turn those hurt feelings into motivation! I would leave MIL out of the celebration next time since she can't seems to muster up any sort of positive comments. We'll always be here to celebrate with you!!

I am staying on plan today because I want to hit the 100lb weight loss mark.

LJM, you are just AMAZING! Seeing your drive and ambition gives me inspiration. It makes me want to try harder. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, you have no idea how much you inspire us.

I am so ready for my bodybugg to get here! I tracked it and it should arrive on Thursday...YAY! I think it's just what I need.

Congrats on your PS date! How exciting! Good luck to you and be sure to keep us updated.
