Its probably all Teresitas fault too for mentioning the 3 muskateers bar...That was just wrong...I want some chocolate covered peanuts!!!!

Oh girl, you know you did bad!!! What is this stuff??? The sgt doing bad, I dont wanna hear it!!!!!!!!!!:lalala::confused: but i will trade you my 1.5 oz of tuna salad and my 1 oz of cottage cheese for 1 bite of it...lol:frusty:

see now, this comment is one of the many reason that i just love ya so much girl

Thank you sgt!!! I needed that today!!! Its just so yucky and rainy here today, its just one of those all around depressing days...I wanna be at home cuddled up on the couch under a blanket

Im here sgt!!!

Today is just a blah day for me...I feel bloated and am .5 a lb heavier today...But i am sure that will be gone by tomorrow..On a good note, I got my taxes done last night and out of the way...Yipee, I dont have to pay

Welcome back everyone..We have missed you all..We are all in this together:grouphug:

Anytime!!! I just get worried if someone hasnt signed in lately...I am glad to hear from you

That is just so wonderful!!! Keep on trucking girl

Today: 8 oz chocolate protein (breakfast) 1 tbsp peanut butter (snack) 2 oz egg salad and 1 oz cottage cheese (lunch) 4 meatballs and a small salad (planned dinner) 20 oz green tea 50 oz water (so far)

Way to go!!! Welcome back to the 200's....:hippie:

I am going to strive so hard for the same for next month if not a little more...Seems that this 4th fill really did me justice...I keep waiting on that dreaded platuea that I know is coming soon

Hey SGT!!! Look at my ticker for my loss for January!!! Yipee

I remember being upset and depressed after my first fill thinking that I was going to have all kinds of wonderful restriction with it..Trust me, after a couple more you wont be able to do all that stuff at mcdonalds or burger king without getting sick or it taking you 2 hrs to chew it down...Now its just a mental thing for me...I have gotten sick enough trying to eat what wasnt right for me until my mind now tells me that there is no way that i want to go thru that again and it just dont look the same anymore...Give it a chance and be happy for what you have accomplished thus far...I am on fill 4 and just now feeling that I am at the right restriction for me...Its all a learning process and I know you can do it

My check in for today: 20 ounces orange flavored water 52 ounces of water (so far) 8 ounce whey (breakfast) 1.5 oz tuna salad 1 oz cottage cheese (lunch) 1 tbsp peanut butter (snack)

Just a question...Not regarding the band...But on a normal diet for a person, does anyone seem to know how many carbs a day someone is suppose to eat less than??? I cant seem to find this information anywhere

Girl, have you taken a head count lately to see if anyone is missing??? We seem a couple short lately

I dont know if this will work for anyone else but it works great for me...Every now and then when I feel hungry I eat a small spoon of peanut butter...It goes thru the band really slow and gives me that full feeling!! I even keep some in my locker at work now and grab some every once in a while...Like I said, I dont know if it will work for others but does for me

I am so glad that you are doing the support groups!!! I cant seem to find the free time to go around the corner much less a support group...So I need you to do it for both of us girl!!

And thank you for the wonderful bootcamp post!!! I just love it...Its really amazing to see what people really think about themselves!!! I am working hard on changing all my negatives...and remember...You da QUEEN!!

Just remember that you are gaining muscle too...This weighs more than the fat that you are losing!!! Chin up..The measurements will tell all

Time2live have you ever thought about the depo shots to stop you period? Do you get prescription meds to help ease TOM? I'm glad it's almost over for you. We have the same band day, not date but day. I was banded July 8 2005. You are doing great with your weight lost. Just keep at it. I would exercise really good for a while then stop for a few months and then start again. I wasted valuable time doing that. I myself had huge issues with the depo and my band not getting alot at all due to the estrogen...But they put me on a nonestrogen iud call minerva and so far so good

My list (work in process) Positives: 1/I love everyone 2/Im getting cuter as the days go by (LOL) 3/I am a great mother, daughter and wife 4/I am a very good planner 5/I have a wondeful job 6/I am a very caring and personable person Negatives: 1/I talk way too much 2/Im too big (but working on it) 3/I have a problem with wanting to be in "charge" 4/I want to make all the choices when it comes to my son without asking my husband 5/I put other peoples needs before my own way too many times I am still working on some more to add to both but right now im drained...lol

I am absolutely loving everyones lists that they are making...I was really hoping and praying that everything on the negative sides could be something that we all could work on and improve ourselves and so far so good...These are all things that we alone notice and dislike and we are the only ones that can change them and totally be happy and in love with ourselves...I am still working on my list... Todays: 20 ounces of orange flavored water 8 ounces chocolate whey(breakfast) 2 ounces tuna salad and 1 ounce cottage cheese (lunch) 1/2 a grilled pork chop and some kind of veggie (planned dinner) 48 ounces of water (so far) 30 minute workout on my gazelle

Thats why it important to sometimes go back and make a list so that you can refer back to them sometimes and remember what you really do like about you!!! I am going to tape my list inside my locker next to a small magnetic mirror at work to help remind me everytime I open it up...I want to improve my self love big time!!!
