I was starting to question my sanity..lol . Again thanks and good luck to anyone starting with me. I would love to keep up with you. just keep checkingin on this thread i guess and we can post our progress or lack there of lol..... have a good night

Hi everybody. I know this sounds crazy and all but I need some advice on how to start jogging or running for exercise. I have been going to the gym and i have been walking and something inside me when i am walking keeps saying walk faster...faster.. and i feel like i am ready to start jogging or running. Do i just pick up my feet and go or should i walk a little then pick up the pace or what... I have never ran or jogged for exercise before and wanted someone who does this to tell me how they got started. I am 212 right now. Is that to big to be running??? I dont know how far i can run or jog but something inside me ( i know how dumb that sounds) wants to run. I sound like forest gump..lol Ijust feel like all the exercising at the gym and the walking on the treadmill arent enough for me. I am so sick of being fat. I started huge and now am just fat lol.... anyway maybe i would feel free or something while running. Goodness I have rambled on and on.. anyway if you can give me some advice please chime in and give it...... Thanks

Well i told you so................I went all day yesterday and all i had was like a couple peices of deli turkey, the really thin sliced kind.. anyway. ...... Low and belhold my hubby comes home with pizza and my horns came out..lol count em ladies and gents I ate 4 peices of thin crust cheese pizza. And the bad part is i could have eaten more i just made my self stop. Just wanted to drop in with my confession for today.lmao...I know its not really funny but the past is already done so all we can do is move on withthe future and try to do better. Good luck tonight folks.

I to am another night eater!! my reason for doing it is that is just plain ol goes down easier at night. During the day I am tight and for some reason later in the evening I open up like crazy. The bad thing is after i open up I always eat to much cause i feel like i am starving cause i havent eaten all day. Just wanted yall to know you are not alone.

well I guess mine will sound gross but you know if you are not up to sex just yet ( which is understandable) maybe you could get to her climax in other ways... I mean a little rubbing the right way sure gets me there. I dont need a penis to have pleasure. I think she may like just to be kissed on and rubbed on to make her feel better. Or possibly she coudl get on top if very very carefull. that way you dont really have to do anything but enjoy! Hope this helps.

Hi, I do not know this one , but i went ot one in mexicali. His name is Alberto Aceves. I could sit here and type a big long thing about how great they where but you need to make your own decision. In my opinion though they where very caring and knew what they where doing. I had a great time and everyone was nice. Also one more thing to concider. They say the border is getting ruff in some places but as far as i know its still safe where there. there web page is mexicolapband.com I think they have reduced their prices also so thats a plus. If you need to know any futher details on them please let me know I will be happy to tell you about the whole experience!! I have lost 130 pounds since last feb. I am very happy with them.

Hey everybody My name is Kristy and I am a food aholic hahaha... anyway I am now 15.2 pounds away from onderland! I started this journey in Febuary of 08 and was 340 so I am very proud of myself. I CANNOT wait to see 199. I will prolly actually cry. I was probably around 8 or 9 the last time i was below 200 I was a butterball. I am so excited and I need all the motivation i can get from you guys!!! It gets harder and harder the smaller i get to lose this weight. ya'll have a good day

i have 3 kids and we end up at sonic alot. I usually get the 1 dollar chicken strip sandwich and toss the bread. i order a side of gravy that comes with the chicken basket. I use teh gravy to dunk my chicken strip in to make it go down easier. I usually can only eat one strip though. My kids fight over the second one. LOL Wendys has a baked potato that i have had a few times. Taco bell I am with everyone else the refreid beans or a taco works ok. mcdonalds i usually do the chicken nuggets with bbq sauce. the 4 peice one and usually dont finish that. no for the kicker ... Its like yu cant leave a fast food joint with out ice cream LOL Sonic has a jr. candy sundae for 1 dollar I usually have one of them to... I know sham on me!!

what is a 5 day pouch test?

Well for me, people say how much have you lost and I actually tell them. I say 90 pounds and they look at me and say Really? LIke i am lying about it or something. One lady said I noticed you looked different but just oculdnt tell what it was. Then she said I can tell it in your neck.... Good lord I had a 90 pound neck I guess. LOL Anyway I am still big so I just say. ' yeah it sucks to lose 90 pounds and still be this big huh? " That shuts em up. I still weight 255 so I was a big ol gal and I am still wearing clothes from before surgery. One lady told me I was swimming in my clothes, but I cant wear smaller ones yet I guess I am in between. I get aggravated when people talk about losing 40 or so pounds and losing 4 to 6 sizes and I have lost 90 freaking pounds and still wear my 26 pants. Its like I lose on the scale but not on my ass... LOl Oh well Maybe it will come on day... Oh one more... hehe my nephew told me i looked half as big as before .. mind you i weigh 255 still so i was like damn did i look 500 pounds before?? Anyway I know we all have funny and not so funny stories.. I am proud of every pound . I know i lost it and thats all that matters. My son can reach all the way around me now. He says mama your getting so skinny.. i'm like yeah right son.

Hey everybody I just wanted to stopby and see what was going on. I have been dong good. I am in need of a fill though. I have been working out. I am very proud of that cause well just cause I am. I never have before and it is amasing what you can do if you just try.Good luck to all. Have a great night.

Hey there i am also form mississippi. Just wanted to welcome you and say congrats on the weight loss. You are doing great!!

Hey Everybody I am Kristy and I was banded on Febuary the 5th. I have lost 71 pounds so far and I am very happy with that........ BUT I have had four fills and the last one suppossedly put me at 9 ccs and that is all i am suppossed to be able to hold in my band. So I am like what now???? SO i called my original surgon and they said that if I had 9ccs I wouldnt be able to swallow spit. Well guess what I can swallow alot more than spit. So.. either I have a leak or my fill person is not hitting my port and is injecting saline into my stomach somewhere.... the thing is i feel rrestriction right after my fills , it juts alwasy seems like after about 2 weeks or so my restriction is gone. I am kinda trying to diet and i guess you say white knuckle it cause i dont know what else to do. .. I cant believe after 4 months my band is full.......... I think I am going to find a new fill person and get it done under fluro and see what is going on. I know 70 pounds is great but when i look in the mirror i am still not happy I still have alot to lose i mean dang i still weight 270 so I am not ready to give up and say i am done. Any advice out there as to what to do?? Thanks for listening to my rambling but I cant be the only one who fills like this.... I HOPE
