    Different type of goal

    By newby23,

    I slacked off during the holidays with exercise and let my addiction to sweets get the best of me. This caused me to gain about 6 pounds. When I got on the scale and it was back up to 240 it freaked me out. :confused:
    Since then I have been avoiding sweets altogether. This is much easier said than done. I find protein bars are a great substitute. I have even picked up exercising again. I noticed my scaled going back down and couldn't be happier. I don't ever want it to go up again. My Birthday is around the corner and instead of setting a weight loss goal, I set myself an exercise goal. I am motivated by that and working out 2 times a day now.

    Sweet Spot

    By newby23,

    I had a little trouble getting my third fill the first time around. The NP could not find the center of the port and I had to be stuck about 4 times so she gave up. She said my port did not feel like it had flipped, but that it was at an angle. I had to go back a week later to let the doc try :smile:. Well it took him a minute and a couple of sticks as well, but he figured out it was higher up than they thought. Eureka!:thumbup:He found it and gave me a whole cc fill. This took me 6.5 CC and a very comfortable sweet spot. I am not hungry all the time and really can control my between meal snacking because of it. I have started to loose weight and that makes me feel great. I was getting depressed with the first two fills because I was still in bandster hell. I am very happy about my everchanging relationship with my band, but I can't help but be nervous about the next fill.

    A new found love

    By newby23,

    I took a water aerobics class today and loved it. I can't wait to go back. I have heard a lot of people say it is a good form of exercise and now I see why. I could feel it in my abs, arms and legs, but I did not feel run down. It was great for my mental too. There is something about being in the water that instantly relaxes you. I would recommend it to anyone of any fitness level. I know I am probably preaching to the choir and am the last person to try it, but just in case there is anyone who has been thinking about doing it, I hope this encourages you to at least try. :confused:
