There are things I want to say but this is public. It is a new day and I am blessed. I thank god for another day He woke me up this morning I had a safe drive into work this morning I have a roof over my head I have lost weight I will be productive today!!! I did not go to TTC because of the weather and flood warnings. TOPS may be cancelled tonight and I am trying to wrap my brain around that. That means I will have to go 2 weeks before weigh in. I WILL look for a scale this weekend. I believe the weight watchers scales are sold at Hecht's. I will look into it. I really need a scale at home. NEWS Flash WW scales do not go up to 400 pounds,,.....they suck. I am so glad I NEVER tried them. They don't cater to the super morbidly obese obviously. Oh well, I found some anyhow. :pound: :grouphug: :hug: :clap: :success1: :Banane20: :Banane20: THESE MAKE ME HAPPY

I am totally ashamed to say what I had today. Candy!!

Awwwwww look you did it !!!!! Yeahhhhhhh go Jane!!! Dag girl you don't eat anything. WOW:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Do you want an upright or recumbant?

I'm sorry Leona but once I leave work I don't usually get on at home. Kee checked this thread yesterday for me but I did not get her to check my pm's. I thought you had singing engagements for yesterday so I didn't think you were coming.

Hi MrD Below is the link for the state threds. Look for you state and there should be some helpful folks in there to let you know where they were banded. Have you checked with your insurance company to see if they cover the lap band surgery? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21

Hey Joyce I started at 458 and at my last weigh in was 393. The lap band is a good tool for the future for so many people. It is helping me because of portion control. LBT is keeping me motivated to exercise.

Weekend turned out well even with rain. Got a 2 mile walk in w/Pooky Sat. with incline. I don't want to do 3 miles anymore unless it's at HP. I won't force that extra mile. My excuse is that oh I'm going to the pool anyhow. OK off that. I put on my 32 goal jeans and I think I can acutally wear them now without them cutting in to my gut. YEAHHHHHHHH. I was actually able to get the muffin top into the top of the jeans. It sits above the pants just a little and not hang over like it use to. I am also wearing a shirt today that someone gave me about 4 years ago and I couldn't get into then. It's a 5x, it is just amazing when you find out how big you really were. I am embarrased that I had gotten so big. I don't need to be cheating in any kind of way. My eating has not been good, portions are small but the food is not a good choice. I will turn this around ASAP and begin meal planning again. I will be having my good ole grd turkey, sour cream, refried beans and salsa for dinner. A veggie, I need a veggie, oh mixed vegatables. Sunday we had a great time at our meeting. Everyone is doing so well losing. We all fall off the wagon but thank God we have each other to push our fatarzzes back up on it. :heh: I don't like to be pesamistic but I like to deal with reality. I don't see myself meeting my birthday goal but I look and feel better. I will continue to strive for 375 and will celebrate when I hit it. I want to find out what my weight is tomorrow at TOPS badly. I hope and pray that the 5 pounds I gained last week are gone. I will be doing the Walk Away the Pounds tape this evening. I'm sure the pool will be closed this evening. I have Take the Challenge this evening anyhow. TTC I know that will be a good workout and with less people because the shopping trip is today for some folks.

Just becareful with tasting stuff. It will taste good next time and you will think hummmm that didn't hurt. Then you try some more and then some more then you are stuck and in pain. Be very careful.

Yeahhhhhhhh Good Job Meowwwwwwwwwwww You go girl keep up the 10 minutes. Hey if you ever feel like it, march in place while watching tv or during commercials. I find that to by my lazy day exercise. Sometimes I will jog in place for 1 minute. If it's movement I see it as cardio. I try to get my heart rate up a bit and keep it going for minute.

JP it was really nice meeting you. Thanks for the great hospitality. That was too much fun, we will have to do it again.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Tell me about your new pedometer??????:confused: What was for dinner "What R We Eating"??????:hungry:

Today is the day!!!!! Good Luck and my prayers are with you and your surgeon. I know Leona will let us know how you are running around this evening after getting your new equipment. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yes yes yes gas xxxxxx Good Luck and God Bless You

I agree there is nothing you can do. Only someone who knows them could intervene.

Oh wow, since hearing you were having your apron removed, someone told me that someone else who had gbs had his apron removed before his gbs. He is doing fine. I'm excited for you, I hope all goes well.
