banded_for_life

Best of luck Jay!!! I am just going to stick to walking up to Thompson and back and riding my bike. Jogging has never really appealed to me. I hope it is your magic bullet to get you below that 200 goal!

Super job Jay!!! Laura don't cry...32 pounds is nothing to sneeze at!!!!

I am like Eileen...I have to remind myself to sit up straight or my port area starts hurting.

You will be in bandland in no time!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!!!

Hey there...welcome LBT!!! Just do as much reading as you can. Alot of info and fellow Texas bandsters on this board.

I love the Cali and Philadelphia, have had the spicy tuna roll as well. I adore sushi...I did PB once, but it was the teryiaki chicken, not the sushi. Ya'll gonna make me have to go get sushi tomorrow for lunch.

Yep, I use my fiber one as salad crunchies and in my yogurt.

Super NSV!

1/03: 211 Exercised between 45 and 60 mins everyday this past week. 1/09: 209 -2 Went from Morbidly Obese to just Obese!!!! 1/16: 207 -2 Road my bike for the first time for 6 miles! 1/23: 207 0 I noticed yesterday when changing my son's bedding that I wasn't huffin and puffin my guts out. It was like no effort at all to manhandle his mattress. 1/30: 205 -2 I had a clothing swap on Sat. and I didn't try anything on, I just collected what I wanted. I finally tried everything on last night and I got into most of the 18s that I took and even a few 16s!!! 2/06: 203 -2 Huge NSV this week!! I took the kids to the park and I actually played with the kids. Chased them over the verticle monkey bars. I felt so much lighter! It felt great!!!! 2/13: 202 -1 My NSV is sort of a hokey one, I can span my back with just the width of my thumb and index fingers put together....I have never been able to do that before...I am amazed....lol. :-) 2/20 202 No change. Cleaned house all day long yesterday and didn't have to stop every few hours to rest. 2/27 202 No change. Most of my clothes now just hang on me. Even the ones that I got at my swap are nice and loose. -9 pounds total...I'll take it!

Welcome to LBT!!!

Super!!!! It's all good! <huugggs>

Ya'll (sorry for the slang...I tend to type like I talk. ) crack me up! I don't mind grammactical mistakes...I make plenty of them myself. :-) Newbies...don't be miffed if you think that you have not been heard. There are so many posts to get through or thru(whichever one turns you on.) I myself have been struggling with my band and feel that I just can't give advice when I myself am having issues. I AM always available for a PM though if anybody has any questions.

I have a little piece of chocolate everyday in some form or fashion. I buy chcolate chips and put them in the freezer and measure them out in an ounce container and usually I am satifsifed with that.

As far as I know Kyleigh is correct.

I use fitday as well. I am addicted to it actually.

Welcome Dody!

The day I had my surgery I was standing there in the bathroom with my butt hanging out the back of the gown, looking in the mirror at myself. I had one second of thought to run out the door and never look back. Then I really looked at myself and realized my only option was in the next room where I was going to change my life.

Congrats!!

I have 6.4 in my VG Band and do have some restriction, but will probably have to go in soon for a little bit more.

Congratulations Ray!!!!

Congratulations!!! That must have felt great!!

I agree that the girls did a better job, but I think the guys are going to bust a move next week...they are all really good. Ace is a hottie and the other guy with the shaved head...yummy...i love that look!

Welcome Ms. Vickie! Congrats on your band and the new grandbaby!
