hi ladies, well im glad everyone had a nice mothers day. mines was nice at first then went sour. my old man an i broke up after 15 years. and he moved out yesterday. im doing ok i guess. there's alittle funk there but, not really just angry at the situation. i went to the dr today for a check up and i lost 2lbs so im happy about that. well talk with ya later.

sorry to hear about your son laurel. alot of people are losing their jobs right now. i hope things get better soon. well yes i have unlimited texting on my phone plan. i gotta put your number on my phone rose. and that would be great to send words of encouragement to each other. happy mothers day all. mine was ok it could have been a little better. but, im not complaining.

thank you all for the posts. and for the promise to the group. laurel i sent you my number i think we should give each other our numbers and maybe talk once a week as we dont always get a chance to come here. and rose i love ya to i talk about ya all the time. i have a lapband buddy that lives here in buffalo she has been there with me through it all and i love her for that. we talk every day and work out. she is wonderful just like you guys. i dont have many real friends so i have alot of people that i thought was my friend but, they really are not. but, you guys are like my family. you are right rose my sisters. love ya china ps rose send you my number also.

hey thought i would share this story with you all. we yesterday this lady came into my store and was looking for an out fit for a party she was attending later that evening. she liked this one but, said she knew she couldn't fit in it. i said i would love to have your body honey. she said well let me let you in on a little secret 4 years ago i was bigger than you. she weighted 450lbs she had gastric bypass and 4yrs later she is a size 11/12 i hugged her and told her she looked great. and she didn't get any thing sucked afterwards. she told me to hand in there it will work its self out. i felt so good about that im planning on starting walking at the park in the am and the gym 4 days a wk in the evening. im not gonna lie to ya i fell off for a moment there. i forgot the main reason for me getting this surgery. to be there for my kids. how can i teach them right and wrong and i cant even do it. i dont want either of my kids to feel like i did and do becuse i run to food for comfort. thats a problem that i should have been dealt with alone time ago. its time to break the cycle for real. as it is not ok to just let your self go as i have an so many others. i wanna be around to see them graduate an much more. so on that note i will see you all at the finish line. and well will not be leaving anyone behind my promise to the group. so tell me ladies what is your promise to the group and yourself. hope everyone has a great week.

hi everyone glad to see everyone is doing so well these days. well im down 2lbs this week im happy about that as i have been having alot of issues with the seconde fill i go so i had to have it removed. so im happy just to see the scale move. i went for my 2nd fill and must have been over filled an didn't know just thought i was eating to much but, in any case i got all of my 2nd fill out and some of the 1st one also so im now down to 2.6cc's and filling good. im back on track now so i hope this works for me. i still get alittle upset as i think i should be loosing like i did before i had surgery and when i dont i feel angry. but, im in it for the long haul so im gonna hang in there.

hello all how was everyones weekend. rose how did the car search go. laurel did you make it home safe. well i went back to the dr's and had another .6cc's taken out and i feel so nuch better now. so i know have 2.6cc's in a 10cc band. i think i did ok this weekend and i did ok this morning for sure. well i changed my workout plan now i go to the gym mon-thursday for 1.5 hrs each time. then 2days a wk walking at the park. and 1 day to eat as i please but, only when i need to. gonna try and not go over 1400 calories a day. i really only eat about 1000-1250 but, that 1400 gives me a little extra if needed an see how that works for me.

im so excited for you im excited to be going to the bahamas in september im counting the days down. that sucks that you dont get to have a few days to your self then head back to work.:sneaky:

hi all how is everyone doing me im doing better. first let me welcome you coredovachick glad to have you. and i must say you are doing great sit back and enjoy. dont worry always remember that there will be times when you will lose and time where you wont just keep moving and we will see each other at the finish line. i have been having issues to since i got the 2nd fill i had to have 1/2cc taken out then i went back in friday for the other 1/2 to be removed. i still am getting stuck and throwing up so i was wondering if i needed the other .2cc taken out my dr had put 1.2cc in and im still feeling sick. so right now i have 3.2. i must say i dont think im gonna be getting any more fills for a while. sorry to worry you rose im ok. and i know what you are talking about laurel and auggie about it getting harder. i have to admit to you all that i feel like i have lost some of my motivation as i feel like i should have lost more than i have. but, im gone hang in there and see what happens in the long haul.:drool:

hi everyone, i know what you mean laurel about not hardly doing anything for ourselves. i get like that but, i m starting to do things for my self and it feels so good. and lucky you rose. im glad that the two of you have nice men in your life. when is everyone's b-day. mines is coming up its april 15,2009:biggrin: i dont know what im gonna do for it yet, might go get my nails done.

well at least your not gaining laurel and that is a good thing. but, remember you have to eat. i know its hard for some of us but, we have to eat enough or we just gain or dont loose. well i think its like wine it gets better in time:biggrin: i went to the gym and had a wonderful work out tonite 47mins on the elliptical 605 calories burned inner/outer thigh machine 5sets of 15 each machine polites ball 20 sit-ups and 15 wall squats. so im getting alittle better.

welcome trina4ufl glad to have you:smile: and got u updated sue in ne:biggrin: i think you are so right sue about the setting the bar high and not making it there i to set mine low. and might change it again.

hey auggie(tamara) long time no hear from. i think i have heard that there is anoter december group on here just in a different part where is it. i might have to go search for it. it takes time. i have a question if you havent lost in a while and havent had a fill since febuary why dont you get one. i have made a few changes to my workout and eating habits and hope that does the trick. keep us posted on how your doing.

hi ladies how's it going well i had to go back in this morning to get half of my cc's taken out i felt like i couldnt swollow or breath. so i guess now when i need a fill he will only be giving me very small ones and i must say i was not happy about that. but, im mont gonna worry about it all i know is i feel so much better now. well after the unfill i can eat but, its ok i have to work on the self disipline:frown: thats the goal of the day.
