yes the the numbers are right, I have always counted from my surgery date, but you are right it was me who lost those other 8 lbs so they should count!! Thanks for pointing that out.:clap2: Jan

my stats h 318 s 310 c 218 surgery june 2003 Is this what you need?

:clap2: I lost 5lbs this week Jan

I am having a good week down 5 lbs

Cheri, I totaly understand!! I also have a sweet tooth,(actually a whole mouth full of them!!) I am in the process of getting off of sweets, I have banned all chocolate candy (I do allow myself some sugar free hard candy) I have also banned ice cream (even the low fat, sugar free) My husband and I are enjoining smoothies (2cups frozen strawberries, 1 cup skim milk and sweetnlow and equal to taste.) if you want to eat with a spoon use less milk. I also use slimfast(frozen in ice cube tray) and a hand full of strawberries with strawberry slimfast. french vanilla and some sugar free tang (1/2 of a 1 1/2 quart pack in about a cup of Water, it is kinda of like a dream sicle. Use sweet n low and equal to you taste. I hope these ideas will help, I know once you get all the sugar out of your system it will be easier. Let me know if you try any of these and if you like them.

I want to be in, sounds like a lot of fun!!!

:wave: I too like Harry Potter, I mostly listen to books, then I can do other things like crochet, make jewelry, play on the computer. :jaw:I also like Max Lacado my favorite was "He still moves stones" I am getting ready to listen to Done Deal by Les Standford Johnny Deal trying to salvage what is left of his family's contracting business when he runs up against some investors who will do anything and eliminate anyone who keeps them from the property they want. I used to get my books from Audiable, but now My public Library offers free downloads of books for 21 days, After 21 days they just disapear, no late charges or trips to the library. You just have to live or work in Jefferson County. I live in Bullit County but I work in Jefferson. so I can get books. If you live in Kentucky they will let your use their service for about 25.00 a year. Other Libries may offer this service also. Jan

I went to curves for a while, but I didn't like it much. My husband and I have recently joined the YMCA they offer the same set up as Curves and a lot more, We are planning to do Water exercises, they also have dance lessons, a spin class(ride a bike to music with dim lights so you don't feel so exposed. We are also allowed the use of a Personal trainer 4 times a year to help us plan for our goals. Our Y membership is only 53 per month no long term commitment. which is only 26-27 per person. The biggest hurdle is my self and getting me there, I hate to exercise because I hate to sweat!!! :faint: :faint: the Y also has a lot more hours, a sauna and whirlpool.

Branded Brenda, I don't know why you are not losing, are you still doing the things you were doing (when you were losing) before the band?? It took several fills for me to get restriction, maybe when you get another fill it will help. Keep me posted on your progress.
