Yep I hear you on that. I just try to remember what it was like in the beginning and how motivated I was, and try to recapture some of that energy for my struggles of today. It is either that or screaming at the monitor "YOU JUST WAIT".

Thanks for the reminder. I needed to hear it. Yes the band is working for me, but I still have to put in the effort. Plus sometimes I forget just how hard I have been working. Good luck on your journey and keep working that band!! Thanks, Amanda

Lynn, so sorry about the loss of your dog. Been there, done that. It sucks for everyone, including other canine friends left behind. I'm blessed with a rather wonderful relationship with DH. It might not be everything I always wanted but its everything I need. Sometimes when he's sleeping I look over and cry because there might be a day when he's not there. He is 18 years my senior so that is a very real possibility.

Tess I keep thinking about you. First the floods this summer now the snow. Is it always like this?

I wish I had a Dante to dress me. Im thinking about growing my hair out too. It's a bit daunting as the in-between stage is rather shaggy. My sister does the Cpap thing. She says it is a dance between too dry and condensation on the face piece. Keep writing-I'll keep reading. Amanda

I saw the Dr today. I'm up 4lbs from seeing him 11/20. He didn't seem to concerned. I received a small fill.( I have 2.5 in my 4cc band) I hope that curbs the hungrys. Sometimes I wish I had someone who would get mad and hold me accountable for my mis-choices. "Yo stupid what are you doing? You want to be fat the rest of your life? You know what to do so do it!!!"

Important thing is you're giving it another shot. Good luck!!

I've been where you are and babe I feel for you. Hang in there, this too will pass. ((hugs))

Ok, I started a new thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f114/shamrocks-friday-weight-85282/#post1114609

To easily copy the list just quote the most current and then remove the part of the coding that makes it a quote. Just highlight [the stuff inside the the brackets] at each end of the quote and delete it. Does that make sense? Or just quote and adjust the original list. Whatever.

Fresh week, fresh list. How about that? With no current weight. I tried to make it as current as possible. Sorry if i missed anyone.

I know someone who drinks it with meals to make her feel full faster. (the gas and all) Just a thought. Small correction: Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated Water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottle Tonic water (or Indian tonic water) is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with quinine, which gives it a distinctively bitter taste.

Sorry I guess I copied for the wrong one.

Do you have any tips?

No body answered the Body Bugg question. Are you still using it? Why did you stop? It sounds interesting but I guess not realistic to use all the time.

WHy doesn't Fenton fill in his weights? Wasn't it his idea to make this list?

Yep Im done whining. I'm just a lazy person at heart and really need to be motivated. It is no wonder my good habits are having a hard time sticking. I haven't let go of the bad ones yet. But I'm working on it, again. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Ok after my major whine-fest I'm back on track. Back to the trainer twice a week. I have an exercise focus again. Which seems to be the only way to keep my mind interested in moving the bod. I've entered the 2009 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Richmond VA. with my husband. He's not all that happy but he wants me to succeed so he's supporting me in my whim. I'm trying to keep food choices good and think I'm succeeding about half the time. Better than nothing. I have an appointment for a fill on Monday because I've been stupidly hungry most of the time. Best of all I'm back in the game. :confused: Yay me!

How are you guys doing with the BodyBugg? Was it worth it? How about you Wii fit'rs??

Ok folks I'm doing this:2009 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Richmond Va May 3rd, 2009. I heard about it on the boards here last year and could hardly wait for the next one near me. I live in New York so I will be traveling south to attend. Anyone else going to give it a try???

Of course you will, and because you worked so hard it will be all the sweeter when you reach and possibly surpass your goal.

I think this is the reaction we are all yearning for. Congratulations on your hard work!!!
