It actually comes with feet extenders for thicker carpet. I have mine on a rug (just flat, not shag or anything) and it did just fine.

The hula hoop is my fave so far. Big hula hooper when I was little BTW... Anyways that was the only thing I was really good at last night. I got it yesterday and hooked it up yesterday evening. I did the yoga and most of the balance activities. I loved it. I did the hula hoop section 3 times and my stomach is sore this morning!

Wow!! You look great and what courage! I'd have to have me a pitcher of Long Island Teas or something to be able to do that, scratch that it only takes a glass now:tongue_smilie: Love your suit!

My doc recommends 1000-1200 calories a day. I average 1000 calories, somedays more, somedays less.

No I didn't have any migraines while I was on liquids. In fact I really didn't have a migraine until about 3 months after surgery. My migraines are PURELY HORMONAL though. I don't have any food triggers, I do have smell triggers though. If I'm exposed to exhaust fumes, strong perfumes, or paints I sometimes get them. I actually felt great during my liquid phase. I did get a little lite headed a few times, but not too bad. The worst part for me was the Clear Liquids stage (week 1), when I got past that, it was a breeze!

My migraines have been much less frequent since banding. I suffer from hormonal migraines due to LOW estrogen swings. The weight loss has kept my estrogen levels high and lessened my migraines!

Had my fifth fill yesterday. I was down another pound before the fill and now down another pound today, so I thought I'd update!

Mick, Since you mentioned a Kettle ball, I would also recommend you looking into a Bosu ball. I love it and its a great workout!! I find it a lot of fun and its very versatile!

LJM, As far as I know for the running part you put your controllers in your pockets and run. The board is not involved. You can run around your house as long as you are still in range of your wii. Mine should be here today or tomorrow. I'm so excited!!

And I've left Reps for some people and their number didn't increase, I don't get it!

I agree with you on that. I'm not one of those, but I know a lot of women who are. Better safe than sorry, thats for sure!

Ninja, those are great NSV's especially your blood pressure!!! Lets see: Yesterday I got a hubba hubba from a guy at work. I'm now moving into size 14's

I go for my 5th fill tomorrow, hoping it will bring it home!! I've been so frustrated with the last fill and this one because its been TOM for the last fill and this fill. I get tighter during TOM.

Totally off subject, but oh well. I was just giggling Blund because of your location (near the pinky), my fiance is from near Detroit and he does the hand thing all the time:lol:

I've had my Wii for about a year now and I love it. To tell you the truth you can work up a sweat with just the Wii Sports and Wii Play games. I would definately recommend the system. I actually bought my Wii console off of ebay also. I had searched and searched for one around my area to no avail. I finally just paid about 40 bucks over retail to get it. Wouldn't you know that as soon as it came in, I went to Wally World to get a game and they had 3 of the consoles!!! Thats just how my luck runs!

$200 a month, I don't think so... If you look at Bodybugg.com you can signup for various options. The most expensive option is $14.95/month and thats a no contract, month to month, I think if you want to sign up for a year its 100 dollars.

I really do think its the sexual harrassment thing. Everytime a guy at work has commented on my weight loss, its been prefaced with "I know I'm not supposed to say this, but". I try to tell them, you can compliment women on the way they look without being vulgar!

Make sure you aren't dehydrated, that will cause a headache. Also it could be a caffeine headache if you are addicted to caffiene and haven't had any/enough.

Well, I won a Wii-Fit on ebay. I found one for $119. I think the original sales store price was $90, so I thought it was a good deal without the hassle of trying to get one in the store, plus I live in TN so put an extra 10% on that for sales tax. I'll let you know when I actually get it in my hot little hands! I bought one that the seller had "in Hand", not a pre-order.

I'm not going to comment under fear of placing a jinx on myself!!

Thanks Red!! ChrisAnn, I can definately tell a difference! Keep it up!

KeyWestGirl, To answer your question about swimming, yes you have to take it off, yes the website will be able to judge your calories per your specs. There is actually a really cool section where you can see how many calories you burn during each activity.

Diane, When did you have your fill? You tried to eat a chicken tender the night you had a fill? I'm not supposed to have anything "solid" till about 2 days after a fill. My doc actually recommends to stay on mushies up to a week after a fill. You might want to consider advancing a little slower and giving your pouch a little break, especially if you've had as many "sticking" incidents of late.

I'm curious, does it have anything in the literature about weight limits??

I didn't realize my side view pic wasn't showing. Sorry they're so big. I think there's a little difference.
