HI DOXIE AND REDMOM IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT. NEWS FLASH I JUST MADE A food POST ITS CALLED WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY. I HOPE EVERYONE POSTS THERE TO. WE HAVE ALOT OF MEMBERS ON THE WEITHTLOSS CHALLENGE THIS IS VERY GOOD. DONT FORGET TO COME BACK AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR NEW WEIGHT IS OR YOU CAN POST IT WKLY IF YOU LIKE AS THAT IS HOW THE SPREED IS SET UP.

hi everyone i thought this would be also a fun task to post what we ate today. i thought it would help us stay on track plus help someone that was having a problem with what there eating or things to that nature. so i'll post first what i eat yesterday: b-protein shake w/soy milk s-4oz jello l-3oz chix salad mashed s-nothing d- 1egg w/veggies s-nothing :cry_smile::thumbup:

ok i will do one and see how it goes i hope people post on it. i have started come here all the time just on the december part. does anyone else spend alot of time just here.

hi keshia im gonna add you in on the challenge. you can come over to the group and look at some of the posts. where under the monthly support group just click december 2008 and you will find us.:tt2:

and thank you for making the spreed sheet. the 3 of us make a good team. i did a few updates today and i was tired by the time i add one person two more had joined so yes a huge thank you to pete. was thinking maybe we should have a spreedsheet for what we eat today also. what does everyone think. i personally think it would be a great ideal as maybe this can keep us on track. plus it will help others that might be struggling on what they should eat or some thing. so let me know who would be interested in posting on that also. i know there is one in the food part of this forum but, this one would be here under the december banders. what does everyone think.:tt2:

welcome v-Queen and haleyjane glad to have you hope this group is as helpful and fun as it has been to me. ok pete we have alot of members this challenge isn't this fun. thank you mr.pete.:mad:

hi rose yes i do have fluid in mine he put 1.5cc's in it he said he usally puts 3-4 in. this was the first time that i was able to really eat and like i said it scared the hell out of me. it was just a poor food choice. going back to mushy as that really scared me a hot dog 2wks out. and the funny thing is i dont know why i chose a hot dog to eat out of all the things i could have eaten. i think becuz it was there.

welcome ichefmastersgirl, and rileyw glad to have you. thanks pete:biggrin:

hi rose what you still doing up, i was to full from the other half of the hot dog so i had a coffee now i feel really stuffed wont be doing that again. and the h-dog was mashed up. i was rather suprised that i could eat it at all. but, it was a poor food choice for sure.

your welcome thanks for joining hope you have fun while losing

hi rose and laurel how are you guys doing, well im doing ok my kids came home today they were gone while i had my surgery i really missed them. rose glad to hear that your back is doing well. i went to the gym tonight and i walked on the treadmill for a total of 40mins tonight first i walked for 22mins then rested then walked for 18mins it felt so good i must say. ok what is up with that ya both go in january for a fill yet i dont until the 24th of febuary. well today was an interesting day on what i eat. and looking good rose on what you eat. heres mine b-10oz protein shake 9am s-1/2 hot dog skinless and no bun 2pm l-the other half of the hot dog 315pm s/d- med. coffee740pm this scared the hell out of me but, i feel ok i later learned that there will be days we can eat and days we cant. so we will see how this works out.

welcome molinomama and chelsbels you have both been added.

i haven't even eat any where near what i said i wanted to. but, im working on it. just trying to get into the gym as i know that is going to help me in the long run. i went to get mines today they feel good. cant wait to get to the gym and see how they feel there. i love coming here and posting hanging out with ya. i be talking about ya to my family all the time. is anyone ready for a fill yet. i dont go for one until 2-24-09 long time away. i dont think i need one as i still cant eat alot or even enough yet. hope to hear from everyone soon.:biggrin:

ok let the weightloss begin:biggrin: sure sweetz you can you could have posted it once you got surgery or at least a date. welcome MsJennie this is a run group glad to see its getting larger. the ideal is to help each other get to our goal. so i hope everyone posts whether its good or bad.

you go boy:thumbup: i hope i do as good as i did in the 1 challenge in the 2nd one. in any case great job pete keep up the good work.

welcome goosefraba and sweet z and thanks pete and doxie for adding everyone as they join. this is working out good ya do the adding and ill do the welcoming.:confused: i cant get add the groups name to mine why is that. it tried to do it like the tickler but, didn't work.

the only thing i can say is i to was told that there is no restriction as i was banded with 1.5cc inside it. i told them some thing is restricting me as i feel full just takeing the pain meds. that did get better now the liquid in take i cant understand it either. but, i will say today was a better day. i did eat 4oz of yams and 3ozs of mashed up chix at a meal setting. but, didn't eat for 6hrs after that so for dinner i had 3oz of applesauce mixed with cottage cheese. and for breakfast 16oz clite. and that was my day. not able to eat much but, its ok i did my share of eating over the years. i did talk to the nurse and dr at the hospital and my appointment and let them know what was going on and i do have to go for some test and if things haven't picked up by the 6 then he's going to take the fluid out. but, i think its ok i would rather drink than eat any ways. just give it time everyone is different. im sure within the next few days or wk i will see some change in my eating. but, i am slightly puzzled to why he has me come back 2-24-09 to see if i need a fill but, others that was band before me or around that date is comeing way sooner than that. he did tell me that he set me tight so he knows i wont need a fill probley even then. so with that said i just take every thing one day at a time.

i know sears and jcPenny's has them on sale right now for $40. i dont know which ones they are just that they are new balance and they feel great.
