Amethystjade

did you ever find out what was wrong or what helped? I feel like im having this problem right now too.

Thanks

I love carmen electra strip tease video its fun and cheap.. I also agree with the biggest loser work out videos

So tomorrow 6/3 is my 1st year from being banded and I've lost so far 98-99 lbs... I've been stuck since Jan with being unmotivated and self-sabotaging myself for some unknown crazy reason! (Well I kind of know why...)

I recently have found some motivation and started exercising again, I need to finish getting this last 50-60 lbs off..

I was wondering how everyone else has done so far, especially at their year mark...

How do you all resist eating junk food? I guess I am just still scared of letting go and becoming skinny... I've never been skinny and it’s still hard to think that way…

Thanks!

its okay jaime, it all takes time.. I still eat shit I shouldn't, especially right now.. I am way too tight.. So I eat the junk I know will go down =(.. I can't wait for monday.. Though I'm scared im going to gain weight.. At this point.. I never want a fill again.. Which isnt a good feeling to have.. Just relax you'll get into the routine.

get a beer bottle and spit the alcohol into it..waste of money but it will work.. just act all crazy..

I was up walking around the day after surgery, so I dont know.. how you will be feeling..

food I would stick to creamy Soup (none chunky).. mashed potatos and maybe even cheese..

if your gaining weight from your last fill, and you havent caused slippage, then either your eating too much food consumption or your not getting enough calories in. Have you talked to your doctor about this? I heard switching up your meals from dinner at Breakfast and lunch at lunch and Breakfast at dinner helps too..make sure your getting your Protein and Water in too..

Maybe for a day or two eat higher calories then go back to liquid for a few, them soft, then mushies..

Well my piercing is plastic due to surgical steel not healing that great in me.. I understand why most of the pericing i have had to come out..and if it was the tounge i would have taken that out too..but it was an upper lip by the cheek, which i put tape over and was way out of the way of having the tube put down my throat.

basically I am just a pain in the ass that didnt want it to go shut before i could go back down to portland to get it replaced (which it would have..) also it costs money to have it replaced and I already missed 30 hrs of work due to this kidneystone problem..

Man port pain is nothing compaired to this pain.. I feel like absolute crap.. I want to rip my kidney out and sell it on the black market..Dee your still pretty hip to even know about the piercings under the lip on the side.. Many many guys/girls are getting those too..facial piercings aren't for everyone though!.. Also your picture looks fantastic! you've lost sooo much weight.. how much have you lost total? Congrats!

how do you calucate your excess body fat precentage?

Congrats Deb!

I'm going to try that too! I did it for a while with Shelbi when we were doing our Steel Cut Oatmeal challenge with one another. I ate my Oats at 5pm and then nothing else till the next morning when I ate dinner for Breakfast!

I think a Monroe piercing, if I'm not wrong, is the one in the bottom lip. Is that right? I'm old, but I have a 21 year old - with lots of friends who think I'm cool. Perhaps I'm not as cool as I think!

A monroe piercing is the upper lip either the left or right side, by the cheek.. where marlyin monroe had her birth mark mole.. I have pictures on my profile of it..

I just had my kidney stone surgery yesterday and I had a huge stand off fight when them for 2 hours about taking my monroe piercing out and I refused to do it.. 1) they dont know how to get it out/I dont really either 2) no real reason to take it out, put a bandaide over it!.. Well they came down to the fact to take it out or not have surgery and I told them that was fine I wouldnt have surgery.. I didnt want my vajj to be stared at anyways! We'll 7 doctors/nurses later I got my way! My mom said that she's never seen anyone so strong willed. The dr should have told me that I would need to take it out 2 weeks ago in his OFFICE! but did he? NO! Stereo typing really sucks and when the medical profession tries to force their "expert" opnions onto you I dont go for it.. I may be only 20, but I've been in college since I was 15 and I already have my BS in psychology..

I tried to fire more nurses again when they kept trying to come in and wake me up, they finally just let me sleep, I was suppose to be out of there at 1030, i didnt get out until 3pm.. My mom said it was freaky lookin at me.. My eyes were rolled back and alls you could see was white and I was twitchin.. (im allergic to pain meds, and the anthesia..and apparently cipro now.. I guess I woke up screaming and itching my arm when they put it in..)...

They found 2 huge kidney stones piggybacked against eachother and thats why it was stuck.. Now I have a stint in until friday and its the most painful experience I've ever had to deal with.. shit give me the port pain again, it was better than this kidney stone! I'm all bloated and feeling super huge...I feel like im on my monthly again which sucks =(..

So sad to say I only lost 2 lbs this week.. I haven't been to the gym in forever too though, so I know thats a BIG part of it..I guess slower is better though =).. I just cant wait to get the next 20 lbs off of me.. I'll finally be below 200.. I can't ever remember being below 200. I remember getting to 203 and not making it..

Congrats on your year Dee, I can't wait to get to my year!

With the comment of not feeling like your in your own skin, I sometimes feel like that.. This week I FINALLY got so many compliments about losing weight.. it only took 88 lbs to do it haha.. It was weird though.. I have COLLAR bones..and I feel my hip bones again.. Sometimes I look in the mirror and im like wow, im so tiny!! But in reality I'm not THAT tiny.. I finally can see the girl I once knew coming out.. I struggle with the fact that I dont know how to BE skinny.. How does one BE skinny? Do you act different? Is there a code?

I just bought the cutest little black dress for my 21st (march 30th) I can't wait to rock it!! I can practically taste my bday!

Well Happy Saturday to everyone..:thumbup:

Hope ya'all dont mind me joining!! I can't wait to get this year's weight loss movin!!:redface: Congrats to everyone else. You all are doing awesome!

I've been having trouble since my last fill, in fact I kind of feel like I never want a fill again... I'm really tight and it had gotten better the last few days of my denver trip where I wasn't puking anymore, but as soon as I got back home I couldnt/cant keep anything down except for come creamy Soups or anything close to liquids..

I also just found out that my kidney stone went from my kidney to my urter and its stuck until friday jan 30th when I am going to have surgery to get it out..

I talked to dr. k and he thinks it's my kidney stone that is making me have so much trouble with my band but I am still unsure.. =( It's hard because I want food sooo badly but I can't affoard to puke anymore.. I had a bad experience at the hospital too, which I'll post later on cause I am trying to catch up on post reading..

My last week weight loss was 2 lbs. now this week ive lost another 4... Hopefully everything will be getting better for me.. After I've gotten settleed with school, work and surgery!

im down 7lbs for this week!! woot, that fill really helped because i couldnt keep anything down at first, but I think I have it somewhat down now.. It was great meeting you all at red robin! I cant wait for next time!

Now back to work, and I need to catch up on all of these post for the last week!

I want to take part in the V-Day challenge please!! I would like to lose 15, in reality I want to lose 20 by the end of Feb. I'm trying to lose 30 lbs by March 30th my bday and actually be in onederland for once in my life.. I get a fill monday..I'm super excited, I head to denver tomorrow!! I am not packed yet nor ready for the coldness.. yuck!

lol you all are great! Hmm size 9 in 2009... I'm a size 18 now.. I hope I can get that small by 2010!

I can't wait for when you girls start a new challenge...So count me in for that..

On the other hand.. I've had a lot of air bubbles lately when I've been eating.. If I'm explaining that right.. It worries me, because I don't remember having them a few months ago.. I've also been extremely backed up lately so I am hoping it that..

I need to learn how to eat better, because my fill on monday is going to make it so I dont have much leeway on messing up... I can't wait to meet you all next thursday.. (well those of you that can make it!) I'm really excited.. If I'm staring at you all when your eating I'm sorry.. Im just trying to learn better..

I'm not sure If I should worry.. though a slippage or tilt is always in the front of my mind at the slightest pain.. dang worry wart.

Well, I'm off soon to a step and then spin class... woot!

if you stuck to your diet rules you'll be fine!! good luck

oh and good luck, you'll do great!!:party:

i went to a strip club with a friend, it was soooooo much fun and it was a crazy strip club.. we ended up gettin up there and dancing (with clothes on) haha.. It was a great distraction.. Denver has some of the kinkiest strip clubs around haha

I havent had sex since I was way bigger, I used this as a way to kind of punish myself for getting so heavy.. now that I've dropped 75 lbs, im looking at guys like.. oooh do able, oooh very doable.. and omg im going to pounce on him.. I'm sure it won't be much longer before I break my good girl habbit..:party:

Ive had the biggest plateau since halloween and I finally broke through it this last week and have lost almost 8 lbs..Im finally in the range where I was in highschool.. Now I just need to get back to the gym! I can't wait for my next fill on the 5th.. though the other day I ate some chicken and it went down fine, but like 15 mins later when I was driving I started puking (which was not good, I was in the middle of a freeway bridge in heavy rain).. It was actually a hard puke, which scares me of causing a slip... Ugh.

Well, back to work I go, Hi-ho..hm

When I was bigger, I stopped having peirods for a while, now its on time to the day and its heavy.. it totally sucks bad.. I feel like i am dieing.

When I'm on my peirod I dont really avoid junk food, though I should.. I have a major problem of snacking.. I figure if i feel like im dieing I should have a last meal.. HAHA..

my hair is the worst ever!! i seriously have mass handfuls of hair every time i take a shower.. I get enough Protein and my Vitamins in, I recently got a bunch of blood work done and they all came out fine.. I dont know what it is!! =( ..

I also just got on my TOM and i feel like i am dieing, for a while when i was heavier I sometimes skipped periods or they were light, now its bad.. I dont know if this is mother nature, getting back at me or what.. it sucks.. I was at a plateau before i started my TOM where i didnt lose any weight last week..but i stepped on the scale this morning and I had lost almost 4 lbs.. ugh! it's toying with me!

I can't wait for denver and my fill, but i am also worried about the snow.. I'm not one with the snow.. Though we have tons of it here in sw washington/portland area..

Well i'm headed to the gym early today since my soccer was canceled due to the snow..

I invited bratty_nicole, and if bikinibeachy if shes in town.. hopefully thats okay..

Dee, speaking of Red Robin.....

How many ladies do we have joining us on Thursday January 8th? We should keep a running attendance list, because I think this will be a big gathering!
