BG- I have an appointment at 4:15pm today. I hope I get at least a little fill. He wouldn't say for certain at my last visit. I can't wait to hear how your appt goes.
Is everyone doing the Independence Day challange? I think my goal is way too high. I'm suppose to be down to 258, I'm 284 right now. Oh well, guess if you're gonna dream, dream big :frown:

KMCD- great post! I have to work on this myself. Thank you for pointing it out and making me think.
-
Love all the stories and support! THANK YOU very much!:frown:
-
:party: JT that is too funny?? Strange? I've never heard of fat ear lobes. But I say take that and every other comment and be happy. You're on your way! Congrats.

WHOOO HOOOO DB! Can't wait to join you in ONEderland!

284 this week

That counts for sure JT! Speaking of weeding I'm still sore and feel like I did 2,000 squats after picking all the weeds out of my garden. But like you I wasn't able to do near this much last year. It's progress!

Thanks everyone for your responses and for letting me vent. I am very proud of the 33 lbs. I just needed to share my thoughts. I had just got done posting about an NSV. Then I went on Facebook and saw pictures from a week ago. I guess when I saw the pictures this morning I expected to notice a difference. But unfortunately they had the opposite effect. It really deflated me in a matter of minutes I left the positive side and jumped over to negative. But the very positive thing is that I didn't go eat, I came here and shared my feelings. For that I'm patting myself on the back. Thanks again for the support, I'm so glad to have this forum to come to receive and give support.

Love the falling down shorts story!! Thanks for sharing, made me chuckle.

Wow! Congrats on your weight loss. You're kicking bootie!
-
I've been struggling with something that I know is common with bandsters. Wanting faster weight loss. At times I'm like -big whoop I lost 2 lbs this week. But then other times, I feel on top of the world for my continued weight loss. It's like I'm living a cartoon with the positive sweet Angel on one shoulder and the negative cynical Devil on the other. I try to be postive but then I see pictures of me currently and I'm ready to cry because I'm still sooo huge. Though where would I be if I hadn't started losing?!

Another NSV for me- My husband said to me at least 5 times on Saturday/Sunday "Your butt is getting smaller". I smiled and said thanks. Yesterday he says "Seriously, your butt is really shrinking. Have you checked your weight?". I told him that I've lost 33lbs since my highest weight in 1/09. He smiled the biggest grin and gave me a kiss. Double bonus NSV & kiss :smile:

Sorry that happened Ling. I had an awful experience with a Hot Dog bun. That getting things stuck isn't fun! Makes me a little sick just thinking about it.
I have to say I'm nervous about this coming weekend. We're going out of town with friends. I know that there will be drinking. I hope to avoid drinking & eating. That was always my downfall before.

I am weighing in at 199. :eek: Go April bandster!:smile: ONEderland!!! Congrats!!! I can not weight, to join you:tongue_smilie:

286---- still can't believe I share this number. I think my Driver's License says 220 or even 200 :thumbup:
-
What does your Doc have to say about this? I wish I could offer some advice, but I've never heard of such a thing.
-
I'd be in bad shape if my 5 yr old knew I had "oldtimers". She already feels she rules the roost :thumbup:.
I think I'll be getting a fill on June 2nd. But I thought I was getting a fill on Tuesday.
-
You know BG I don't know that it's a forever & ever thing. Maybe I shouldn't have posted here, maybe it's a just for now/pre-fill requirement. Sorry for being confused, it seems to be happening a lot lately :cursing:
-
At my Doctor appointment yesterday he said:
4oz Protein at meals. I am to evaluate 10 minutes after eating that to see if I am statisfied. If not, I guess I'll get a fill on June 2nd.
No red meat, bread, rice, potatoes, gum, soda or high calorie drinks.
I'm suppose to eat every 2-4 hours.
The appointment lasted no more than 5 minutes. In & out.
-
No fill for me. Have to go back to the Doc on the 2nd. He told me to eat 4 oz of Protein (chicken, turkey, fish- no red meat) then evaluate if I'm truly hungry after that. He also said no bread, potatoes, rice or Pasta. Having a food scale is law, according to him.
There was something else he said that I wanted to share, but I'm completely blanking on it. If I remember I'll come back and share.
So what things have you been told?
-
Going to be a crazy couple of days here at work. I go to see my Doc tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be given a fill or not. I will update Wednesday. I hope to be able to come at least read all the posts in between working crappy jobs.
-
I agree JT, take whatever positive responses you get as proof. Sometime the scale doesn't reflect all the changes. Feel free to remind me of that next time I'm whining about the scale
-
288- lost what I gained last week. I'll take that! Haven't had a fill yet. Can eat pretty much whatever I want, except hot dog Buns

So happy to see you here Hannah. I've thought of you often. Happy Early Bday. Good luck with your fill. I hope to get one this afternoon.
Jukebox- congrats on the weight loss while traveling. You're going to kick bootie when you get into a fitness routine!
