Hey Heather I LOVE spaghetti factory haven't been there yet since the band.........but I know I won't stay away forever either. I like the mizithra cheese. That is a HUGE no-no. Never tried the ravioli but I am sure I will sometime since it is the lowest. The brocolli is great without the cheese and olive oil. I get that all the time..........well pre band.......not it is a problem but serious really, really good and a HUGE serving takes two people or more to eat. The salad there is great!! Ah I so want spaghetti factory now. Good thing it is closed!! I think having Pasta every once in awhile is NOT a problem. Especially pre band...........I don't intend to never have anything just less of everything ............... Heather I am so impressed that you did the 5K. Girl you are doing so good!! I can't get my "exercise on" enough to do that yet...........I really hate exercise. Have I said that before!!!

Not really hungry today which is weird. Again proabably all that water!!

Yea nicole that is what is so strange. My band is moody. Some things go down fine other are a big problem. I sorta know what the problems are now and avoid it. Had a great day hanging out with my girl. Menu: B: Lentils (what else)-75 cal L: lentils 75 calories Yogurt light and fit (60 calories) D: Protien bar: 280 calories Salad: (cucumbers, feta cheese, Beans, sprouts, Crotons) 400-500 I am guessing 120 ounces of crystal light and Water. Exercise going walking now Feel bloated today but I think it is all that water!!

Have fun Christine!! Heather I have a friend who was in the same 5K as you!! Sounds like everyone had a blast. Impressive Heather!! I am heading out to the River today with my daughter and friends. HOpefully no sunburn today. :-) I ate 1400 calories yesterday cause I ate 3 tacos. I don't know why they were good and I was hungry but not a good choice!! But still the same weight this morning. Darn it without he tacos maybe down a bit more but its all good!! Getting back to serious food log this morning..............

DOing good!! Getting ready to go outside and watch the neighborhood fireworks in a bit...............maybe out to a late movie with my girl!! Making tacos and cleaning up the house right now!! Is Auds excited about fireworks? SHe is getting old enough now to enjoy it................

cookies sound good and easy....................I might try them sometime!!

Spaghettie Squash is great. My daughter loves it..........funny cause I never tried it before. Didn't know about it. Yea the CL and water is sorta my salvation during the day. Keeps me full too..........I drink alot usually 120 ounces a day............keeps my from snacking. Ok I snacking on rasberries. I guess it could be worse. I am getting ready to make tacos for my daughter but with soy taco meat instead for protien. I guess I will probably not eat the shell but just the insides....... Getting ready for the 4th and fireworks out this way

I agree with Candi. The band is only a tool the eating issues don't disappear overnight. I still struggle with making good food choices.............the band does help you not gain because you can't eat as much. BUT.......alot of the losing is willpower and effort........... And funny you mention chips cause I so, so, so want some with the taco bell nacho sauce they make.........luckily I don't have any inthe house. We are watching a movie here and I think I have the urge to snack, snack, snack...................just nothing around. I am so tempted to head up to the store and get some......being 4th of July and all............but I know I will eat to many...... Sitting trying to distract myself..............

I have this hair stuff sorta like the Nioxin I am gonna try. Just my hair is really thin and when I brush it more comes out...............I like losing the weight and I guess it is the trade off. I hear it comes back in about six months..........just as long as it doesn't all fall out I guess I am ok. Candra that happens to me all the time the 1 up one down. I really think it is Water weight and 4 pounds is really, really close.............I mean think of all you have lost!! YOu can do this and your walking way more than me!! I haven't been able to eat much today. To much PB potential. I am only eating a few bites and only the watermelon and rasberries are working right now. Lots of water. THe protien stuff is a struggle right now...........Gonna try again in a few hours. I am too full of fruit right now!!

No lose today but no gain. Holding steady. Finished off the wheat thin for breakfast and not buying anymore tis week. That is it. Luckily I bought the small box. Band is tight this morning which is typical for me. I can't eat alot first thing in the morning. Happy 4th to all I am hanging out with friends and family today!!

Ladies my hair has really, really thinned out. I am starting to see it not just feel it now..............it seems like it isn't coming out as much but as before but the damage is already done...............how long till it starts to thicken up again......trying not to be to distressed!! :-P

My daughter loved her toddler bed..........when she would stay in in. We had it all fixed up with Winnie the Pooh stuff.........but she would wander at night!!! :-) hanging out with friends tomorrow.....problem is that my friend is pretty heavy and loves to eat and go places to eat. I don't' know what to say to her since I am not real comfortable talking to her about he surgery. I just try to eat slow and talk alot so we finish at the same time........just she eats way more than I can. I tell you my band feels tighter at night and in the morning. I tried to snack but after a couple of bites I knew it was totally a no go...........one more bite syndrome!! My band is talking to me tonight..........roaring at me actually!! :-) Did I mention I love that my band is helping me out!! I am loving my band now that I have some restriction!! Riley your right I think it might be getting tighter at the week goes on. I definetely feel it. Going to bed.......... Nicole I won't tell you what I wanted to snack on but it MIGHT be crunchy and square shaped!!! ;-P

I need to meet up with someone (Heather?) with all these clothes.............I am thinking I will be adding a few 18's in now. I will bag it all up this weekend.

LOL!!! No more babies I almost have this one raised!! But they are so cute just so much work!! I am gonna travel once I get my daughter stable and raised. But I do love kids I spend alot of time with them at work!! Great idea dividing the crackers!! I had to hid the box so to get in I have to get a kitchen chair and get up in the cupboard top shelf!!! I won't do that until the morning I am to lazy!! I did WW for years and love it. I am guessing we have all done WW?? I still have all the books. I would go back to that but it hard to do with the band but I totally loved WW.

I miss having a baby around enjoy every minute Nicole.....

Oh Nicole careful with the cheez its!! I bought more wheat thins and it is a struggle to eat the right amount!! With my last fill I can't eat alot of them but they have gotta be the best thing around right now...........that and lentils!!! I am drinking 1/2 crystal light and half water. Trying to make myself have at last 40 ounces of water before I transfer over he crystal light but I was forgetting to drink all the water and with the CL I always get in my 64ounces and usually twice that.........I am up to 120 tonight!! YOur right I am a 16 most of the time now!! Weird cause it is only about 8 pounds difference between a 18 and 16......

Oh Nicole the job?? Also I regretted taking my daughter out of the crib to soon. Girl was running around the house getting into stuff and naptime was a chore...........Can't go back to the crib once they taste freedom!! I say keep her there as long as you can for everyones sanity. ......just my mom opinion. B: 16 wheat things (140 or less since they didn't all stay down) L: 1/2 mini pizza (no crust to thick and bready) Digorno-gonna look up calories I am think 500 or so Frozen lemonade (130 calories) D: Salad with cheese, sunflower seeds, cucumbers (300 or less??) out to eat with michaela -Ufood my favorite organic resterant S: wheat thins (140) Not the best food day for me I admit. I might have some rasberries but I hope I can save the for tomorrow I feel heavy like I ate to much today!!

Hey ladies Busy forum today? We went out to a movie and got my daughters hair cut. Mother/daughter day.........lots of fun. I ended up getting new pants all my 18's are getting to big. Which is crazy it has only been a short time ........I almost went from 20's to 16 in a month............I figured I would just try and OMG the 16 are perfect now........... My band seems tight too. Especially in the morning now. I can eat more than 1/4 of a cup though so I am thinking it could be just a bit tighter but darn near my sweet spot I think........Same thing here I don't get hungry as much with this fill like I did with the first one. The restriction is pretty consistent...........I definetely know I have a band. I have also been careful about snacking and eating protien this time around. Gotta agree with you all I LOVE my band. Best decision I have made in a long time.............. Watching a movie with my girl. Girls day and all you know!!

Good Luck NIcole!! Let us know what happens. Glad Mike has come around. He doesn't want to lose you and that is HUGE he let you go out...........means he put your needs above his a very good sign I would say!! And yea I use to club alot in college and the last time I went it wasn't as fun as I remembered!! But I am 38 and OLD!!! LOL. Have a fun weekend everyone!! So glad I have till Tuesday off!! Well I ate 16 wheat thins and just PB'd first time in days. I have been eating much less and doing great this week!! But last night I did the same thing and was fine. I think the band is just tight this morning. It was only a little problem I started to cough and realized everything was coming up.......didn't see that coming. So ok 8 wheat thins next time even though the box say I CAN have 16 for 140. Moderation Tina, Moderation........... I definetely have some restriction with this fill but I fill like with just a bit more I would be at the sweet spot.........not quite there but close, very close

down another pound this morning. I guess your right Reggie rasberries are ok!! LOL. I ate the whole little carton last night!! My band is tight this morning so I am waiting a bit to eat...........

Sorry Candra hope you feel better soon. Doesn't look like a big cheat to me though...........you still went for the grilled chicken. I hate migraines I get them too!! The Blood pressure medication they have me on now is actually for migraines too so I haven't had on in awhile............but I am knocked out for day too when I get one. Relax, no guilt!! And yea your body is going through trauma I think that would slow weight loss down.....

Morning all!! Hmm lurkers that will change what we all put out there for sure. Love to see the picures Candi I am cleaning house than headed out to the gym and maybe a movie later today. Nothing to exciting going on. Stressful week at work so I am chilaxting as my daughter would say!!

Yea know maybe that is where the bloat is coming from with me too..........never thought about it I blamed all the water I drink..........hmm

getting food counter out.............I think I hit 1100-1200 depending on the rasberries...........

Benefiber every day for me!! I take about six a day right before I go to bed. Still sometimes I don't go everyday. TMI i know I know.............if I drink hot tea or drink hot broth that helps alot too!! And if I take benefiber than drink something hot it solves the problem right away!! I indulged in rasberries tonight. don't know what the damage is but oh they are so good................
