Took my kids to an indoor waterpark today. Had lots of fun, I got in the lazy river. (my favorite) but I walked and pushed my 3 year old around in it. Trying not to be too lazy. I feel like I got alot of exercise. We had pizza for lunch, as it was the usual fast food choices. I am so tight I knew I couldnt eat it, but it looked so good. I ended up eating a little cheese on the top of a piece. It wouldnt stay down though. I am very very tight today for some reason. I slimed up my Protein Shake for bkfast, slimed up the cheese, then I had a few bites of an ice cream sunday the 4 of us were suppose to split, and that of course stayed down fine! LOL We came home and took a nap, something I never do, when I woke up later I was starving and excited b/c I can always eat more in the evening. I warmed up some creamy Soup, no chunks and I couldnt eat it! Errr the scale better be down tomorrow. The only thing I can think of is the nap made it tight like the morning time, or maybe I am just very tight today. Who knows. I am going to keep this extra tight fill for hopefully about 3 monts then get a slight unfill before my cruise.

Bev- glad to see you around!

Boo- How things with dh?

Steph- I agree totally about what you said about changing our focas to be others when life is sucky! It works for me too!

Bev? Where are ya girl??? Sure hope you are ok! You will make it thru this hang in there!

Praying for you Boo! It must be so difficult! Take care of yourself and the girls. It will be very hard to live a life on the run, if there is any possible way to get him to counselling with you I would try. Take care! Jill

What is the grossest thing you have done to eat something?? Yesterday I was craving a hot dog so bad ??? I have never really liked hot dogs. Well I knew I couldnt eat one so I took a one inch piece and pureed it in the processor with some ketchup! It took me a while to get it down but it was actually good! LOL It was like a chunky baby food, so gross in texture, but it satisfied my craving! Jill

Yea- I know I am too tight but I dont lose weight unless I am this tight

Nat- good to see ya again.

Bev- you hanging in there???? I know you must be depressed. Ever thing of moving up to Indy, closer to Eric and stuff. I know you could find a job there.

ANyone see the American Gladiator new show?? Wouldnt be awesome to be on that?? I would love to be in that kinda shape!

Well- my fill is working I am dropping a few pounds. YEAH ME! I am very tight though and I cant eat much of anything until evening and then it is very very little. So I drink coffee in the morning and a Protein shake for lunch and maybe a 1/4 c of Soup for dinner, and a yogurt that takes me nearly all day to eat! This is fine with me for temporary- I cant believe what a slow loser I am. I have such huge hormone problems.

We booked our cruise for May 5th and I want to be down to 155-160's by then. I seriously doubt it will happen, but I am going to give it my best.

Brandy- I am so sorry to hear about your job. Is this policy strickly inforced or our their people that get away with it? If you know of any that have gotten away with it, I would take it to the labor board. You could fight this and they would have to give you your job back. Not that you want it, but the principle of it burns me up!

Sweethot- Re: Death of the landlords son. I would send a card to let them know you are thinking/ praying for them. There is really nothing anyone can do to comfort someone with this kind of loss, IMHO. I went a funeral of a little girl that the mom ran her over accidentally. I bought one of those little teddy bears that have the name a star thing with them. You send the paperwork in and name the star after someone, they send back your star location. I am so sorry for their loss how horrible for them.

Bev and Boo- how are you all? Pain better? Worse?? I had that stomach flu that went around and I do not recommend it! I hope that is all it is though! Let us know how you are. Jill

You will probably have a great pg this time with a FULL term baby, b/c of your great loss. Just eat healthy and cont to exercise moderately. You will gain a little weight but the nice thing is your band will be waiting for you and you have a priceless gift with that new baby. Congrats Jill

I am really a part of steady losers but I am a slow loser actually. So I sorta belong here! I just want to encourage everyone keep creeping along. I dont lose anything for weeks and weeks and then I will lose like 4-5 pounds overnight. I have no idea why but that is how I do it. Jill

I had a classy but inexpensive reception. Actually I had 2! LOL We got married in a very fancy mansion turned into a restuarant. They had a good size Ballroom, that we got married in and had a reception. The wedding was on a Friday night and we had only a few intimate people there. (30) b/c it was $30 a head. So the next day we had a big bash for everyone where we rented a hall, DJ and buffet style. We just really looked around and went to wedding shows alot. It saved us alot of money to investigate things. I got my wedding cake from a grocery store bakery, it was beautiful, very fancy and tasted better than any of the other cake makers that we sampled. It fed 200 plus the topper cake to freeze for only like 125.00. I also made my own flowers and centerpieces and the groomsmans corsages. I got a dress at a going out a business sale. I found an expensive caterer that included all the tableware too.

If you really want to save, I say ask a family member to caterer it, and keep it simple. meat and cheese plates, veggies, mini sandwiches etc. Cake for dessert. And dont serve alcohol. (too many calories and too expensive, plus if you have alcohol most places make you hire a security guard) you have a lot of great ideas on here and congrats to you!

Bump again! =) It did sorta sound gruff and rude, but I dont think he meant it that way, I agree a warning would have been nice. Jill

Well there is my contribution... =)

I had bounced back up to 179-180 over the holidays, and now I am back down to 175 since my fill earlier this week! We are going on a cruise in May my goal is to get down to 150-155 by May 4th! Sure hope I can- then I will only be slightly cowish on the boat instead of sinking it! LOL

Streak.............................. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

back on a losing.....

Well I am ...

LOL I think it is great! We have our own home! Thanks Alex. Lets get this forum to 2000 posts this week! Where are all the chatty one?? Bev, Nat, Steph, Sweethot, Nikki, Boo er umm thats all I can think of this quick.... =) Jill

B-man I forgot to ask How are the legal troubles going? I havent seen a post on it, but I certainly could have missed it. Jill

Hey all! How are you? Looks like you are all doing great to me! You are all sooo ahead of me! I can NOT lose any weight. I went in for another fill today. I am up to 2.3 cc I was down to 2.0 even though my band was suppose to be at 2.2 Not sure what happened to the other .2 I only lost a pound but I have lose 7 more inches! I am happy about that but I need to see those numbers going down. So I am on liq now for a day or 2. I am not sure how to kick start this again! Drives me nuts- we are going on a cruise for our 10th anniversary in May. I NEED to get at least 30 more pounds off by then, although it seems impossible!

B- man- You are still kicking butt! You look so good! You are such an inspiration if you never lost another pound. Glad to hear you and the Marine are still talking!

Boo- I hate to shop- I would hire you! Actually I have been liking it more lately. Dh gave me a $100 Kohls card but I am waiting for another 20 pounds or so- hopefully get a new dress for the cruise or something.

Kay- Congrats on your RN. Good luck with the boards. It was a piece of cake so dont worry about it! It took me 45 min and wha-la- passed and I have been an RN for 12 years now. You will do fine! Is there a speciality area you are looking to go into??

Steph- It is so weird how weight loss works sometimes. I know what you mean- I am so glad I measured myself. It would be so depressing for me if I only lost 1 lb and my inches didnt change. BUT I lost 1 pound and 7 inches! That maybe what you are doing too. Do you work out a lot?

Sweethot you are so kicking butt on weight loss. Has your Body bugg made all the difference?? I need something to jumpstart this! I am stuck in a rut!!!!!!

<p>Hey all Happy bandiversary! I am so tied up right now! Had a horrible bout of stomach flu(not recommended with a band!) Not losing a darn bit of weight! grrrrrr you all are doing so wonderful! Take care! Hopefully I can get on here more soon! Dont forget me yet! Jill</p>

Boo- how are things with dh is he still wanting to work things out? Hope it is going well!

Sweethot- Hope you like your body bugg when it comes. I did the adopt a soldier 2X and sent both soldiers something and neither one of them sent me anything back. Not a letter, email or any other acknowledgement that they got the package. I did put a letter in there requesting a letter back to make sure they got it. I also emailed them. I wonder if it is a scam and someone else is just getting the packages, or what is going on.

Weight loss for me is pretty crappy- I seem to have stalled and this fill isnt that great. It is weird when I had 2.2 in my band before I was pb all the time, I got it loosen to 2 cc then a few weeks later back up to 2.2 and this time its not any different than 2 cc. I know i need another fill but no money right now with christmas in Jan my flex spending account will kick in and I will be able to get one. I am going on a cruise in May and I want to get another 35 pound down by then! I am going to have to kick up the workouts I guess. Jill

Bman- He cheats on his wife he will you too- Run, very very fast! Jill

I am a nurse too for 12 years, was an aide since I was 13 years old though (private duty for an MS patient) who was a nurse and taught me alot about caring for people and nursing all while bedridden! I was banded in December of 2006 so far I am down 52 pounds- it has been a slow road for me, but I am not giving up! I currently work as House Supervisor, but mostly ICU and ER before that! Jill
