Kee don't fall off....you can do it. Come on Kee 1, 2, 1,2 and step. Stocky what are you doing....leave those things alone. Great job with the walking...it all counts YEAHHHHH LOL LSasha you go girl....get your walk on and you get on the scale today....I'll be back I'm getting ready to take a jog around the office. I moved everything but abs last night but I will do it today.....promise. Fact: sex - burns about 200 calories (depending on how old he is)

It works well for me. I'm eating my cheerios right now. It holds me pretty good. I then I have a slim fast about 10 or 11. I try to eat some Protein after that, maybe some almonds and a cheese stick. Sometimes I will have slim fast for breakfast and cereal for lunch. Eating cereal and oatmeal works because you are eating way less calories then you normally would if you ate something else. On the other hand if you don't eat anything you are giving you body some much needed energy to start your metabolism.

ouch....stop it.... I will be moving my abs, inner thighs, push ups, kick backs:cool: LOL whooo:kiss told you about the cornbread....stop it:eek: What's good for the goose is good for the stocky....what are you going to be moving this evening?

Big Paul congratulations on being below 300 YEAHHHHHH!!!! Big Paul you are going to have to join us at a Maryland Lap Band Support Group Meeting one of these days.

Cool but I will be there Thursday it is part of the Dare Challenge and it was a Triple Dare so I will be there with bells on . LOL

Doctor's CarbRite Diet Bars are delicious. They are packed with Protein and delicious. You can order them on line or call around to your health stores to see if they carry them. Yummyy all the flavors are good.

Hey you guys I have to say Thank You. You guys really motivated me last night. I have been doing a little bit of floor exercise in the evenings and walking more at work but when I got home last night I really wanted to do something. I did a full workout of stretches and floor exercises last night. I have been sitting still at 50 for too long know. I have become content and scared to do anything more. I have not reached my end of the year goal so know it will become my new Valentines Day Goal and I will reach it. I will lose 12 pounds by Feb 15. I can do it and I will. I will exercise everyday, no matter how much time it is I will do it.:banana :banana :banana I need you guys to ask me everyday, did you exercise or what did you do. Thanks

Karindb hi, Welcome!!!! Do you mean his primary care doctor won't give you any information? I believe HarleyNana suggested contacting your insurance company first to see if they cover the lap band. I don't know what part of MD you are in but it would be a good idea to seek out a seminar. I always talk about my doctor and his hospital because they were great for me. Dr. Moazzaz is at Fair Oaks Hospital if you want to call his office to get information. My heighest weight was 459but I will be 399 my February 15. If there is anything I can do, let me know. God be with you and your family.

I had a good time as always. Thanks Karen for being the best support group leader. You are doing an excellent job. It was nice meeting Barbara's daughter and Kee. LSasha I hope I didn't scare you with my driving......that was my songggg. LMBO I do that often especially with other people in the truck. LOL

What are you guys ordering Sunday? I'm getting the crab cake sandwich and I'm bringing my own tea bag.

Shut up and move over....ok today I had Breakfast cereal 9:30 special K bar 10:30 2 boiled eggs no yolk 11am Lunch 12 home made turkey chili/macaroni and cheese

NBC 4 Annual FREE Fitness Expo is coming up on January 14 & 15 9am to 5pm. My sister works at the tennis venue every year. You can get health screenings, try various games and sports i.e. golf, rock climbing, cooking lessons, aerobics, scuba diving last year and so on. They have oodles of freebies and you can bring the entire family and or friends http://www.nbc4.com/healthandfitnessexpo/index.html

It is diffrent for everyone but these things get stuck but if I eat just a little, chew well it will go down but then I have THE feeling. chicken Ribs Beef Tuna eggs Raw broccoli bananas bread especially potato rolls rice Beans I make a lot of ground turkey dishes.

I hope you are doing better. Beno in your protein shake should help to cut down on some of the dairy gas.

No questions are dumb. The port area is going to be sensitive for several months and of course a hard cough is not going to help. As Victoriana siad consult your doctor, you may need a cough suppressant or some halls to suck on my help sooth it.

I'm going through the same thing. My hair comes out in full strands but I don't freak out as bad anymore. I am going to try the shampoo and LSasha gave me some biotin. I have also been trying to increase my protein. This too shall pass, it's just hair, it's just thinner now. LOL

Hey C if they find you crazy the insurance company will pay for it. LOL I passed and I had to pay, I don't know how that happened. Anyhow, let me know if you need the answers to the test. LMBO Connie I love Sharon, tell her I said HI. We had such a good time talking, she is so comfortable. We talked and talked and talked pass the time that I was suppose to be there. We talked about everything and anything, her grandchildren, her weight, her husband, their pastor and church. We'll all have to get together for a therapy session. I'll bring some coffee cake.

Come on ladies, let's cut the excuses and just do it.

OK where is she.....Carrie has disappeared again. Somebody go find her.....she is wearing a juicy couture outfit with a margarita in one hand and sitting in a big margarita glass with little salt around it.

Hey you guys, we all need to exercise and some of us are more disciplined then others. When I was going to the Take the Challenge Program, we had a personal trainer who was excellent. Would you guys be interested in getting together, instead of eating, to work out with the trainer. He would give us one on one information for our excersize needs. Depending on the number of us it would cost less then it does for us to go out and eat, between $5 and $10. As far as a location, I will look into that. The trainer may have a location that we can use. No excuses because he modifies for any disabilities or injuries. He uses your own body weight, chairs and bands. Let me know if you are interested.....of course this is for people who can work out in Maryland.

You go Karen, I'm sorry you have to go through all the hoops but it will be worth it in the end. Good Luck with the weigh in. 20 pounds down is no joke, you are doing great. Keep It Up....down....lol I like meeting in different locations also.

Okie dokie, see you when you get back from Georgia. LOL I saw Dr. Sharon Moon located in LaPlata MD. Straight down Branch ave, through Waldorf. Just a little pass the LaPlata Waldorf. She is $200 I believe.
