That was the greatest post I ever read!!! My step mom is a personal trainer, I have to have her read this post, LOLOLOL!!!

I was going to ask the same thing, LOL. Congrats!!! Way to go.You are an inspiration.

I definately won't bother the office until the alotted time because hopefully it will kick in. I guess I am just a touch dissapointed that I don't feel it yet, LOL, and I have gained a couple of pounds that I thought were gone for good.

I have just had my 3rd fill and I am up to 2.6 cc's in my 4 cc band. I have a little restriction but not enough. I don't swell from fills which bums me out a little, but oh well. I still have to wait 2 weeks before I get another fill and it took my 7 weeks to get this one because my MD couldn't figure out how they wanted to do it, in the office or under floro. They also had to get the supplies into the office. Finaly, they did end up putting .5 cc in my band. I have gained a couple of pounds back, but it could be fluid retention because my ankles and calves are swollen. I know that I have heard that a fill can spontaneously make you have restriction weeks after the fill, but if there is no initial swelling then why can't I feel it now? is there anyone else that doesn't swell that has gotten a fill and didn't feel a change right away? Did you feel restriction a week or 2 after your fill? Just wondering. I am really upset about the weight gain because I know how much I normally fluctuate and this is actual gain. :cry

Congrats Josette!!!

Minime, I missed you. I wish you would have emailed me. I am stuck again as well and have been trying to get a fill for weeks. I guess with the band being new to my office it takes a while to be well organized. I am going in the am for a fill tomorrow. I should have had it monday but I forgot and woke up and ate a little before I remembered, LOL. Email me if you want to chat. (((((Hugs))))

WAY TO GO!!! :whoo: :clap2: :cheer2: Keep up the great work. Being a nurse I know how frustrating diabetes is. You are an inspiration!

From last wednesdays weigh in I am down 1 lb. 185 lbs is what the scale reads this morning. My BMI is now 33.8. I have started cheerleading this week. My girls practice 3 days a week and I am doing all the cheers and moves with them. Plus I will be teaching them a competition routine that I have to finish making up. I am sweating like crazy when I work on it, so I know that I am moving well. Last cheer season (august 1- October 15th) I lost 9 lbs with no change to my bad eating habits. This year I hope to lose 15-20 with good eating habits, LOL. So, cheerleading is my creative way to excersize.

I did report yesterday and it doesn't bother me if it isn't updated till next week. I was just making conversation and reporting that I finaly had a loss, LOL. I was excited because I have been stuck for 2 or 3 weeks, LOL.

I know that weigh ins are on wednesdays and I reported no loss but my losses always seem to happen on thursdays, LOL. I am down to 184.6. -1.4 lbs. Its something.

If you can catch him before me, hehehehehe:biggrin1:

No change for me. Yesterday I saw 185.8 though. I am not counting it since today is weigh in day. Still 186.

I am a cheerleading coach for a Pop Warner program. I coach 7-9 yr olds. The kids are great and last year I lost 9 lbs with only the activity that comes from doing the cheers and routine with the girls over and over again, LOL. I didn't even change my eating habits. This year I hope to drop more with the activity and new eating habits.

I am Captain Mary (Tisn't the prettiest nickname, tis a nickname none the less) Looks like I am the only captain so far, so batten down the hatches mateys, arrrrgh!

I am still at 186 lbs, but I went up 3 lbs last week and I am back to where I was, so I'm good with that. Next week will be better.

I have had 2 fills and I don't think I ever swelled, but I do feel small restriction in the AM, I don't feel like I need to eat, lol. I feel like I can be a garbage can at times, lol. I am getting a fill this week. Give it some time because I didn't notice the slight restriction for a few weeks after my last fill. Good luck huggs

I am a Christmas fanatic as well and I LOVE that movie. It is a tradition that we watch it on Thanksgiving and a couple of other times before Christmas. Any idea how much the house costs? My goal is to be to my half way point wich is 165 lbs. 41 lbs, if not more. I love to decorate, inside and out. We have Christmas Eve at my Grandmother's and Christmas dinner here at my house. I have the biggest house out of all of my family members. I don't have any cute stories except that on Christmas eve of 2000 I had 1 pull-up left for my daughter and told my hubby that we needed to get more and we never needed to buy any more. That was my daughter's gift to me that year. :biggrin1:

Shelly, You look gorgeous!!! Totally beautiful! Congrats on your wedding day. I wish you many years of happiness.

I had a wow moment this weekend. I am in nursing school and when we are on clinical at the hospital we have a uniform that we have to wear. Last year, I bought a new set of uniforms for my second year. I had to buy an XL because the L was getting real tight and uncomfortable for me. I didn't have to wear my uniform for at least 3 or 4 months and I wore the XL to clinical yesterday and my friend said that I looked like I was swimming in it, LOL. I wore the L today and it wasn't tight in the arms or anything. I didn't try the pants, but those will be next, LOL. I should graduate in december, by then I had better be swimming in the large, LOL.

I actually just put one on lay-away at walmart. I didn't buy it then because they didn't have any in stock. It is a little nerve wrecking because my oldest son is a little wreckless and all I need is for him to bounce my 8 yr old daughter off of it. I keep reminding him that if he doesn't calm down that he will have to get off. He is 14 and thinks he is in control of things, LOL. I got on there yesterday with no kids at home for the first time and it was great. Usually the minute I get on I am joined by all 3 of my kids and I do play with them to an extent, but it is nice to have the whole thing to yourself, hehehe:biggrin1: .

I love movies as well. I love anything with Johnny Depp or Drew Barrimore in it. My favorites of the the 2 actors would have to be both Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Benny and Joon, Chocolate, From Hell, Finding Neverland, Edward Scissorhands, Ever After, Never been Kissed. Movie favorites that don't have either of them in it include Robin Hood men in tights, Goonies, The princess diaries 1 & 2, Confessions of a teenage drama queen, Elle enchanted, Star wars series, Haggard, CKY 1-4. I could go on but I will stop there, LOL.

Wow, that was pretty mean of her was she new? Congrats though nsv's are great!

Way to go!!! That is awesome!!! You are an inspiration!

I have 3 kids but they are older my youngest being almost 8. I hope to get back on tonight. I had so much fun. My daughter goes to gymnastics today and since I use to be a gymnast it fires me up to see her doing it and loving it the way I did, LOL.

Well, I got on just to give it a try because I have had real busy, late nights so I haven't gotten on it seriously yet. I got on while my son was on and just joked around, then my daughter came on. I got about 20 minutes of total jump time and I was breating heavy and sweating, LOL. We have had it for just under a week and my daughter has lost 4 lbs. I hope I can stick with it.
