I agree with this suggestion as well

I just wanted to give you all an update since I had not posted to this thread in a while. I completed weeks 1 and 2 without incident. Week 3 I began to have knee pain (sever) that I had never had before. So I did not continue the workout. The pain continued through week four and so did my hiatus from working out. I began taking liquid glucosomine 7 days ago and started feeling more flexibility in my knee and joints. Sooo I decided to try to pick up where I left off with week 3. My DH, DS, and I headed to the park today and by the second rum my knee started giving out and giving me severe pain! I stopped running but continued to walk as a workout. Now my knee pain is back in full force again. I think it's time to go to the dr.! It is just sad because now that I have the motivation to complete the c 2 5k my body will not cooperate. I haven't given up!:wink2:

Thanks for sharing Crishell! I can't wait to get that close to onederland! I am so proud of you and admire your dedication and optimism. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

Ho! Ho! Ho! You must have been a very good girl this year. Congratulations!

Get out of here! I have never heard of it but will look into it because I flat iron my hair daily. I currently use a pair of Wigo Jade plated (yes jade, but I got them for a heck of a deal) irons. I am gonna google maxiglide right now! Thanks for the tip.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you and will say a little prayer in the a.m. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

There is a guy in my support group that only does water aerobics and he has lost a ton of weight! So you are on the right track. I have not started week 3 because my knee is killing me. I never had problems before. Maybe I pulled something. I bought some liquid glucosomine, maybe that will help with my creeky body.

Hey gg I'm glad to see you back! I was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad to see that you are doing well. Keep us posted on your progress.

21lbs; banded 9/9/08. Currently have 3cc in my 9cc realize band.

My first fill went very well. I got 3cc put in my 9cc band which I thought was very progressive. However, I really don't have the restriction that I thought that I would have. Maybe I just don't know what I am suppose to feel like with restriction? I know that in the mornings I am "tight" I don't really have an appetite or I can't eat a lot. By the afternoon my appetite is in full force. I go for my 2nd fill on the 19th. I guess I want that "I can get full after a couple of ounces" feeling! Besides that the scales haven't moved in two weeks. At least I'm not gaining! How is it going with you?

Really? I go to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores often. I love the outlet mall at Foley

Stay faithful! Your day will come! Oh and pan fry you some calf liver (I don't eat it but I heard that it's loaded with iron)

Welcome to our group. You will find great support here!

My 2nd fill is scheduled for the week before Thanksgiving and my 3rd fill is scheduled for the week before xmas. I am actually looking forward to having some great restriction!

Alright! Who is that precious baby in your avatar? As we say where I am from," he is just too cute to poot!"

Alright slim! Thanks for joining me. I have not started week 3 this week. My schedule has been sabotaged but I am determined to complete it this week! Keep me posted...

Now that was funny. It would go like this: Beth and April sitting in a tree. E-A-T-I-N-G...

Yes ms beth all is forgiven. After all, don't have the reputation as being the only "liberal" on this board that has a rapport with you?lol Yes it is a scottie and I want one so bad. I have a bull mastiff already but she is just huge. I need the scottie. Anywhoo... I need that drink

Rodriquez, that was very sincere of you. I think we are all high off of emotions right now. Thank you for clarification. I wish that all of the world's misunderstandings could be solved in the manner in which you just did. A sincere and simple "my bad". We are all in this together....

Dang, great minds think alike. I swear I was gonna ask the effects of meth on wls...

btw can I be the doggie that's going with Obama's kids to the White House:thumbup:

I'm glad that you were joking but today has been very emotional for me. See, Obama represents so much where I am from. Not only is he intelligent and dignified but he is symbolic of how far we have come as a nation. I am just tired of people disrespecting this man and he has not even had a chance to prove himself and that's not right. I just feel like he is being sooo disrespected; I am taking it personal. Sorry Beth if I am testy. But....I come from a people that were bought and sold and this means so much. Please try to show a little more compassion for your fellow Americans that have a connection with this candidate on so many other levels that have nothing to do with politics.

I have been reading the political threads and posts with mixed emotions. Thank you fellow Americans that voted for Obama. There was not one race or ethnicity responsible for this victory. It took all of us pulling together for the common good. Now I have to get some things off of my chest: There are McCain supporters that wish to debate whether or not Obama is black or if he is black enough to be called an African American. One even suggested that Obama was not an African American in the common use of the term. Am I being punked? First of all Obama has never tried to appeal to one race over the other so why are we making it an issue? Secondly, there were laws in this country that said that a person with a drop of black blood was black, not white. AA have abided by this for centuries because it was forced upon us. Now, the suggestion is that we should not claim him because he is biracial? puhleese Then you suggest that he will be assassinated. I pray protection for Obama but he is not the first president that will have a plot on his life. As if that somehow diminishes his qualifications. Then, you jump all over those who say that this is the first time that they have been really proud to be an American. How dare you! I live in Alabama aka bombingham the place that has a neighborhood known as dynamite hill. Where my mother did not have the rights or respect of a dog. As a matter of fact the police chief of that era, Bull Connor, had a dog named nigga that he turned on blacks. I live not too far from a town called Cullman where my grandfather told stories of signs that said "If you can read nigga run if you can't read still run. " Oh but you say that was the past? No we live with racism everyday. So hell yeah Today is the first time that I feel like this country is my home. That it respects me. You dare say that it is the fault of the Katrina victims for not evacuating?! Are you kidding me? Now you want to disrespect Obama's accomplishment and mock people like Oprah and Jackson crying. Are you kidding me? I am so disgusted right now. You will cut down Barack before he has even taken office but you won't admit that he wasn't the sorry mutha that caused this nation's problems. I will not sit back quietly while you attemp to disrespect the American people and the choice that we have made. God Bless President Obama!

OK. Stop playing yourself. Have you noticed that everyone in showing fellowship and trying NOT to go negative? But YOU keep trying to piss in our drinks. Enough is enough.

I meant everyone IS doing a great job...
