Come on in. The Water is fine. This is the new thread for January, 2010. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f90/marchin-into-2010-a-107673/

Hi Everyone. This is the December Thread. Let's post what we've accomplished so far this year. And how we plan to spend the last month of the year reviewing our progress so far.

Hi All, I was surprised to hear from anyone. :smile: First let me say to you and you've said it to others, "Don't beat yourself up for backsliding". It's waiting till it's a good time to get back on the wagon that can mess you up. Let's start with the next meal to get back on track. Again, and again and again. Josiebies: one thing I found out is if you eat an adequate enough of Protein 3 - 4 oz, that will help curb your sweet cravings. Also, increase of your Fiber maybe by one ounce. Let me ask you, what would be a Breakfast for you? Start there and let's see. I just found out that if I eat too much carbs, as I just did for x-mas, I get a tightness in my chest and my voice goes hoarse. Go figure. So, to keep from getting that feeling, I'll be cutting back on my carbs again. Remember we do need carbs for our bodies to function okay. One last thing. Even if we can't or don't get to the gym, there are exercises we can do at home. Even if it's only the stretching. And I do that before I get out of bed. I'm not one for getting on the floor first thing in the morning. So, till next. Let's keep moving forward. Year 2010 will be the year we all take off aleast 30lbs and keep it off. And you know we can do this. HAPPY NEW YEAR for we will make it one.:biggrin:

Good Day All. Did'nt get to the gym, had a tightness in my chest and throat. Hope it's gas and of course I have no antiacid in the house. I have some at work. I'll take a few when I get there and hope that works. A few more days till 2010, get ready to get back in action. We may have all strayed but we still know what to do.

Hi All, just checking in. I've been toying with getting back into the swing of things. I've been checking out the status of daybreak in the mornings. I can now start back to the gym in the morning for it's light outside begtween 6:45am & 7:00am. The last 3 mos has not been in my favor. For I could not get it together. Just been lazy. I've had strong days and weak day. Maybe, it was the fall/winter that got me down. I'm not sure, but I'm over it now. I'll start the January, 2010 thread. If someone else wants to do it please do.

Hi All, just stopping by to say hello. I've been slowly getting back into the grove. I feel my slump is almost over, for I have started cooking for more than one days meal. Since I still have a membership active at Bally's I will be starting back before the end of the month. I getting my mind frame geared up for this. All I need is one day at the gym and it'll be easier for the next time. Since I know that once I start, I'm good for 3/three months. I've already mapped out my eating regime. I'm going to make diabetic meal decision. For since diabetes runs in my family too. I'm eating more healthy so it seems like I'm maintaining my weight. Not really losing any more. So, I may have reached my lapband weight. So, to lose more weight, I may need to go the route of hence the bad word; diet. I've been holding at 191lbs for about 3 months now. All I want is to lose another 15lbs, which is my ideal weight lose. Which then I'll be very happy and then maintain that weight. I don't want another fill. Afraid of the PB that might/will come of it. And we all know that is not a good feeling. So, I've made my New Year's Resolution, something I think I can obtain. So, we'll see. MERRY CHRISTMAS, and have a joyous day. It'll be hard be we can still make healty, good food choices. If we can get past X-Mas, we'll do alright.

Hi, I hope they're doing well. Even though they're not logging. Life for me right now is fine. Not losing anything, but not gaining back that much. I think once I get back into the gym, I'll lose again. Not that I'm making bad choices, just not exercising to maintain nor losing either. I'm wearing my stand by pants. The one that you have to wear for the new pants are not fitting right. Those pants. Well, enough for me now. Don't get stressed, we could have bigger problems. You know what I mean. We've still pounds ahead from where we were almost 3 years ago.

Jeni 85, I know and understand the self sabortaging issue. Once I got down to 181lbs. Just 5lbs from my goal and what did I do began to eat even when I wasn't hungry. Like you I haven't been excersing nor been to the gym. I was going with my daughter at nights. So, when she wasn't able to go I didn't. Mind you now, I was going faithfully before our "mother - daughter" support team. Now that the holidays are here, I hope to use this time as my jump to getting in control of my eating portions. I did chose bad foods, and over enjoyed the good choices. I so do want to be at goal weight come March, 2010. This is my year to be at my best in weight and health. So, Jeni all though we don't post much, still think of us and what we would say to encourage you to get back on track. Just remember we are all in this together. We all are going through things in our lives and we all handle them differently. The one thing that we have control over in this is what we eat. Yes, it's easier said than done, but when you really think about it, it is easier. But most of all, just think of how worse we would feel if we were not on this journey. I dread to think of it, try to push it out of my mind but honestsly, we've come a long way baby. Well, I'll stop here and do come back. I'll try to get back more than once a week. If I'm the only one here to encourage you, then I'm what you need at that time. See you soon.

Just checking in. Still losing slowly and still have not gotten a new battery for my scale. In October when the battery died, I vowed not buy a new one and just let my clothes tellme when I've lost or gained. When I had to pull out my "oh no, I've gained weight pants", I got back to losing again. I had a bread habit I was feeding. Now that, that's over I'm losing weight again. So, what's going on in your life?

Hi everyone, just checking to see who've come back. So far, just me. But that's okay. So now that you're back what has been going on in your life? Whatever it is, I hope it didn't take you too far from your goal.

This is another attempt at setting up the November thread. Somehow the 1st thread ended up on the November, 2007 forum. I will try to transferred those who posted there in this forum. If possible.

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f90/did-we-do-well-106386/ This should take you to the December Thread. "Did We Do Well?''

Hi Everyone. We didn't do to well, logging in. So let's try to log in more before the year is out.

Please do not post to this forum any more. The correct November,2009 thread is "No More Excuses - Corrected". Located in the March,2007 forum. Sorry for any inconvience or confusion this may have caused.

This is our November, 2009 thread.

Re: No More Excuses permalink It's 3 days into the month. What have you've done for yourself so far? For me just revamping how to trick myself into more weight loss. Now that it's light about 7am, I'm going to go back to early morning gym. And evening gym 3x a week with my daughter. So, what are you going to do or change? __________________ It's inside all of us to lose weight.

Please do not respond to the link here. It is incorrect and will take you to the november,2007 forum. So you'll need to go to the march,2007 forum and make your posts there. Thank you.

This is the link that was given when this thread was started. I'll see if it can be transferred to the March grouping. In the mean time how do you propose this be fixed?

Hi All, just checking in. All is well for now. I have no setback stories to tell. I'm getting back into exercising with the machine weights again. I've been exercising w/ my daughter who like the free weights. In doing so, I lost the firminess of my thighs I worked so hard to get. Then on top of not losing as before. So, now we exercising the upper body one day, the lower body the next day and one day on the machine weights. So, I've stopped eating bread again. I guess after the carb/bread overload I'm set for awhile. Now I will eat bread spareingly, within reason. From now on what I'll do is freeze some and take out as needed. So, I'll stop here and hope to read what you've been doing lately. (excuse any typos, I'm too tired to reread for errors). Nite and sleep well.

Hi Everyone, I don't have a problem eating bread. In the beginning I did. I am a bread and Pasta junkie. It started out eating pb&j as a snack just to get the carbs in. For I either didn't eat any carbs or just a little carbs with my lunch and dinner. Then the more I didn't eat my carbs with my meals the more I ate pb&j. And that's where it all started. But I've since gotten the bread back under control. That day I had pb&j one slice at a time, then two, then as a sandwich or just plain slices. Then I had bought two different types of bread. wheat with flaxseed and Fiber, and a Protein bread. I was home that day so it started from Breakfast to dinner to the last snack of the day. And like I said I paid for it the next couple of days.

I've been going through some changes. Nothing earth shattering. My weight is starting to come down again. I had a set back last week when I partically at a whole loaf of bread last Wednesday. Of course I paid the price for it when I came down with a carb overload headache and put back on a few pounds. I've since recovered and I am doing well again. My hopes are high, in losing those last few pounds. I hope I've bought my last pair of pants for the size I want to be. And that's a size 16r, 16w or 14w depending on the designer and cut. Although losing and sticking to a plan was the hard part, now comes to maintaining it. I'm beginning to feel comfortable with the size I am and about to become. Although at times I feel I still fat, no over weight and I still carry that fat mentally. Especially when it comes to sitting next to someone. And I still go to the large size clothing section. My new year's resolution will be to maintain my new weight and size. I'm excited and scared at the same time. For lack of a better word or meaning trying to lose this weight was a crutch for me. Now I am about to lose it I'm afraid to stand on my own. I hope it makes some kind of sense to you what I am feeling. Well so much for me what's going on with you.

It's 3 days into the month. What have you've done for yourself so far? For me just revamping how to trick myself into more weight loss. Now that it's light about 7am, I'm going to go back to early morning gym. And evening gym 3x a week with my daughter. So, what are you going to do or change?

This is the November Link: For some of us like me we have fallen behind or lagged very bad. I for one am that person. But for the most part I am staying and maintaing less than 200lbs, more so 190 185. I may have reached my stable weight. If so, I am so happy for this stage. I still want to lose another 15lbs - 20lbs by the end of the year. But I am so happy just with what I have lost these last 2yrs. 8mos. I've tried so many different healthy weight loss way of eating. From each new way and trying different styles I've learned alot about food. Just following the Protein, veggies and carb way of eating I am now wiser than before. So, let's continue to reach our weight goals, don't give up, don't beat our selves up for we are still learning what works best for us.
