PROUD MAMA!!!!!

Good attitude Avilla, you are doing a great job. I am right there with you trying to get to the 100 pound mark. I'm sure you will get closer then you realize before your bandiversary if you keep going at this rate. It has been a year and a half for me and I am 13 pounds away from 100. Some lose it faster then others but those who do put a lot of hard work into it Keep up the Great WorkOut Routine. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Tann my weigh ins are on Tuesdays so I will just post last Tuesdays numbers. So I will always be a week behind but that is ok. You are doing such an awesome job on your weight lost. Keep your focus and Welcome Aboard. Avilla I’m glad you saw the doctor and at least you got somewhere to start with your son so he can control it with diet. Does your insurance company have a nutritionist in their network. Oakiefamily you are more then welcome, anytime. Turner24 ok with love……Turner moving your body is what is going to burn those nasty little calories to get your body in the shape that you want it to be in come Spring. Turner24 that sounds like an excuse PLEASE READ THE FOLLIOWNG NO EXCUSES Excuses are tools of the incompetent, building bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing and those who use them seldomly amount to anything. Therefore I will not give anymore excuses!!! Julestwu GREAT ADVICE….DID EVERYONE HEAR WHAT SHE SAID

Good to see you checking in Morning. I don't see the snacks, hello did we not have any young lady. hummmm You have my number call me. I will be leaving soon to start my weekend workout.

I will eat less & more health than ever before. I will, I will, I will get all my water in everyday. THIS IS LBT BOOT CAMP PEOPLE THIS IS OUR COMMITMENT If I faulter, I will not stop, but start IMMEDIATELY from that moment on to get back on track. NO EXCUSES.

Time2live I'm so sorry as I have gotten older PMS has gotten worst for me and I use to never have cramps but I do on the first day now. We only need to do measurements now, end of Februay and the last day of bootcamp. We do need to start giving a weekly weigh in. I know everyone does not have a scale at home. I weigh on Tuesdays so I will give last weeks numbers. Feel better it will be over soon.

You must have been a girlscout. Always be prepared. LOL

WOOOHOOOO you go girl.

I'm so happy for you. Go kick some butt girl. You will feel fine after surgery. You will be doing laps around the halls and the nurses are going to tell you go home. LOL

If you missed last Saturday don't despair you still have time to join in the Fun !

I do understand and as parents we always blame ourselves. My child does not get enough exercise or just movement. At her age they just want to move in slow motion so I get her up and out with me on the weekends fussing or not. Last Sunday she was dragging and sitting in the bathroom hoping I would leave her so I did. I went around the block and when I came back she had something in the microwave. I made her go get dressed. 15 to 25 minutes into our exercise she always loosens up so that must be when her endorphines are kicking in. Don't stress you know what to do. I was actually thinking about putting my dear child in a martial arts class.

Avilla I was talking about me not you. I hope your son does not have diabetes and if he has weight issues I know that you will take him on your journey to lose it together. Pizza night sounds like it may come biweekly instead of weekly. No more sodas in the house. My daughter has weight issues also so I can't keep certain things in the house.

Piggy backing off LapBand Fan...Prayers going up for Bandid's surgery today.

:spit: Cheers Cassandra. Working will keep you busy but it can keep you from burning those calories is you have a sit down job. I hope you will continue to do that great workout you did yesterday.

Avilla keep at it now because I looked at my chart that I keep for weight loss and I only lost about 32 pounds for the year of 06. That is crazy but true. I am a year and a half out and I have lost 87 pounds. I don't want to complain but it could have been faster if I just simply exercised everyday. Just do something everyday. Weight lost is no joke. I have lost 7 pounds from December 19 to January 23. That is great but I have to keep up my walking to continue like that.

IT IS TIME TO KICK IT UP A NOTCH ACCOUNTABILITY I NEED WEIGH-INS AND MEASUREMENTS I KNOW EVERYONE WEIGH IN DAYS ARE DIFFRENT I WOULD LIKE THIS INFORMATION EVERY MONDAY Measurements needed are: waist hips chest breast Losingjustme Teresita MorningFuneral OkieFamily Turner24 Niecyrene LapbandFan Josette Shellybeans Ariel Time2live Mysa Reeizbooje Kareyquilts Avilla Kathyb Cassandra Bandida Julestwu

It's Fridayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! I'm here, I went to the gym when I got off yesterday and this morning. When I go I normally do 2 min on the eliptical thingy 15 or 20 min on the treadmill and between 2-4 weight machines working my arms and legs. I am normally there from 25 to 45 minutes. At home I run up and down the stairs. I need to incorporate more in at home.

Nope not crazy just normal. All I can say is exercise, cardio and strength training will be your bodies best friend in the long run. Things are going to droop and fall but you can firm thigs up to a degree. Walking will be your best friend if you don't exercise now. Go get a pedometer so you can see how many steps you are getting in.

WOOOHOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Have you ever belonged to Weight Watchers, TOPS, Jenny Craig or any support groups like that. If so their weigh in documentation could. count.

Avilla I know how hard pizza night is for you and I have to say WHY TO GO GIRL!!!! You have done a great job and your water intake is something to be proud of. YEAHHHHHHHH I like the inexpensive Wal Mart brand Value something grape and raspberry ice. Yummo!! Oakiefamily we missed you to. Remember you actually requested this..... Cassandra it is good to see you. Great job, is that why you posted. We need you to post when you are not doing good also. OK, now don't think I didn't see that cake behind your pudding cup. LOL I understand and it is ok. Great job on the workout I am so proud of you...wait..... Ohhhhhhh ok so this is a new thing. I like that, I need you to post your exercise everyday or whenever you get on the computer.

People ask me all the time how much have I lost and I am usually saying the same amout. LOL I looked a chart I created and I see how much time I been wasting not exercising. I lost 32 pounds for the calendar year of 06. I am not happy about that. I was not consistant with my exercise and would eat when my band losened. Now I see my mistakes in the past so I am trying hard to be consistant. I have set some short term goals and I am going to reach them because I know how now. I don't worry about other people anymore because I now realize that this is a SLOW Journey. You get what you give and I plan on giving a whole lot more this year. Wisdom is a wonderful thing.

Congratulations, I know you surgery will go fine. I can't wait to see the new you. :clap2: :clap2:

Turner24 just eat or drink what you know works. Use this time to lose more weight while you wait to get an unfil. As long as you can get your fluids in so you are not dehydrated that is good. Chili and soup is good for you too. LOL Bandida you are doing so great right now that I know once you get your band your weight is going to fly off. Keep it up girl.
