I took 1.5 weeks to return to work, light duty until tomorrow. I'm not going back to school never ever again, unless I can get a raise out of it.

I don't know about you people up north but down here pigs can be used for almost anything. If you grease them up then try to catch em thats one of the best cardio exercises there is. sorry I got to go, wife just called, the pigs is eatin the chickens. Here we go again.

At this point I can eat anything but the burger, I'm ok if I take the top bun off but I cant eat a whole burger. If forced to eat FF I'll get to wendys and get a jr burger and a chili, not a bad meal for $2 plus tax. the other option is sonic for a HB kids meal w/ fruit and I get a toy!!!

Today was my off day so I walkeda 1/2 mile at work.

My 3XLT's are getting loose but I'm not into the 2x's yet. My wife was hanger drying these shirts 5 weeks ago so they would fit.

No fill until thursday if he gives my one at my current weight loss rate he may not mess with a good thing until I want one. I can eat anything except eggs, bread is usally ok but sometimes not so much.

Today B 4:30am Slimfast low carb drink 1/2 Before run 1/2 after S 8:30 4 baked chicken wings, 1/2 C 2% Mac n cheese L 3oz roast beef, 1/2 C mashed potatoes, 1/2 C steamed veggies, twix mini bar:cursing: D Small plate of various chinese buffet food plus 1 egg roll. "1/4 of what I would have ate preband" I found a CDC spreadsheet to calculate how many calories to eat for desired weight loss in obese people. I calculated out that I would loose 1.5 lbs per week at 3600 calories a day.

This program is great I'm only in week 3 but it's loads of fun so far. I'll admit the 3 min run had me a little concerned but I slowed down and stayed in good form, it was a breeze. During the 90 sec runs my pulse was up to 155 but on the 3 min run my pulse never got over 144, i think it's because I was running faster on the 90 sec run. I can't believe the effect weight loss and running has had on my resting heart rate. It used to run 80 to 85 and now it's down to 60 which the doc likes alot.

336 this morning down 5

I weighed in at 336 this morning so I'm down 5 lbs.

I heard:wink2: that if you cook it in butter the THC will bond with the fats and it can then can be used for cooking without the harmfull side effects of the smoke. Of course since I've worked in a drug free workforce for 15 years my data may be out dated.

B 1 C leftover super low fat venison chili /w 5 crackers L 1 C leftover super low fat venison chili /w 5 crackers D 2 naked strips, 3 tater tots, 3/4C green Beans I estimate the chili w/ crackers at 280 calories and it keeps me full and satasfied for a loooong time.

Marble slab has no sugar added frozen yogurt at 100 calories per serving. we treat ourselves once a week.

Originally Posted by mango24 I use my meat injector to self fill all the time. I fill it when I need to and unfill it when I wanna party. Whaooo I fill it with whatever I have on hand. In Nov. I had the garlic butter sauce for the turkey, so I just went ahead and used it. Why waste? First I rub an ice cube on my port area, then I rub some oragel on it. Then I let my hubby inject me cause I just can't do it myself. I do admit the needle is way big. One time I actually had to give myself one stitch to close the hole on my tummy. I used some dental floss. The tip of needle the doctor uses for fills is bent. I did have to take the meat injector needle and bend it before I used it. I took it outside and pushed it down on the cement till it bent. This self fill method is really working for me. For Christmas I filled it with rum sauce from my bread pudding. I tryed the meat injector needle as you recomended , However the needle was too long and poked all the through me and into my moms new leather couch, I strongly recomend against self fills, You to could ruin your moms couch.

Mine is my favorite pair of levis that was too tight to wear will fall off without a tight belt:wink_smile:

I've considered 2 day liquid diets each week to jump start my weight loss but DW dosent think it would be a healthy approach. I may do it for a few weeks just to see what happens I'm sure it won't kill me.

My doctor says no to popcorn and carbonated drinks and yes to almost everything else, so????

I've found that I will go a week or so then it all cones off at once. this has happened twice so far since the banding. It's not the same weight loss patern I saw before the band so I'm not sure whats going on. For me any calorie intake below 1500 stops all weight loss.

It's funny that you said it never rang to you until now. It never rang true to me before being banded but now it does, weird:blush:.

For me I track every calorie of extra crap food I eat, then I work out that much extra. It eventually becomes a decision weather or not are those cookies worth an extra hour on the treadmill. The answer more times than not is NO. I've had a paradime shift from rewarding myself with crap food to punishing myself for eating crap food, this new way of thinking will change my life if I can keep it up. I use my natural disposition to lazyness to keep my eating in check, it's a win win situation.

Wednesday B Muscle Milk L Healthy Choice Orange chicken S peanuts "Bad Choice" D Baked Chicken Pork n Beans green beans S 10 crackers and salsa So far I'm finding that on days I eat the TV dinners I do not register a weight loss, it may not be anything just a note. In general I find myself without a weight change for 4 or 5 days then I drop 5 or 6 pounds all at once. I'm keeping close track "tracking calorie intake w/ food choices and trending against daily morning weight numbers" and trying to get a handle on what's happening but it's too early to tell for sure. Ninner

chips and salsa would be a vast improvment.

I quit using welbutrin 5 years ago and have no urge to smoke, unless I'm drunk. I only drink that much a few times a year and have never had any more urges the next day. I had previously quit cold turkey for 6 months and wanted one constantly but now I cant stand the smell.

Butt, Face then neck so far. 43 lbs so far and only a 1.5 inch change in chest and belly. 10 inch change in butt in first month and I didnot have much of one to start with. Here at work they refer to it as Noassatall diesease.

Today so far. B Three baked tater tots topped w/ 1/2 cup refried beans, venison, hot sauce and a little low fat cheese. S 2 homemade venison and pork loin jerky sticks "there about 2 oz of pure protien each" L Chicken Parmesan TV dinner 280 calories D We will go out and I will have blackened red snapper served over steamed viggies and possibly 1 Vietnamese spring roll if I can't resist.
