Some days, I have tons of energy, some days I'm lucky if I get out of bed before 10. I wish I could find another job that works so well around my school schedule but oh well.. on a brighter side.. My son ( he's just turned 2 in July ) peed in the potty all by himself today! I was so proud AND he insists on drinking out of a regular cup with no lid. God, they grow up so fast. I love him so much.. he makes me smile when everything else is going wrong. He's so sweet ( when he wants to be ) and he's friggin hiliarious too lol ( Jared and I when he was around 6 months ) Oh..and I lost one pound.. lol

Congrats! hope I get the same call cuz I've got 3 months and 2 days left before my surgery. Good luck!

I'm set to start testing on Dec. 14th. Why so long? Dunno but I hope they have some cancellations... nevertheless, I'm tickled pink and I can't wait!

Actually, I just got done with the 6 month weight documention, I dunno why it's so long.. I'm kinda peeved about it but I'm also glad I even got a date.. lol Maybe there'll be some cancelations and I'll get in sooner Congrats to you too tho

Went to the doctor and I got my pretest date!! I'm so excited. Wish it wasn't 3 months away but oh well. Thanks goodness!

My doctors appt. is tomorrow. I've been waiting anxiously for a month now. I hope she has good news for me *crosses fingers* Aside from that, I have managed to cut down my portions. I'm trying to stick with the slimfast regimen but I can't seem to drink even half of it and I feel full but I still get hungry like 2 hours later so .. I chew gum *shrugs* I guess tomorrow I'll see if I've lost any weight. I refuse to keep a scale in my house because instead of being online, I'll be weighing myself every 5 minutes and I'll get depressed when I see I haven't lost anything. And it seems to me.. My schedule is so full, I rarely have time to eat anyway so how could I not lose weight? But I'm not holding my breath on that theory. Before I found out about my thyroid disease, I worked in a factory 70 hours a week and it was nonstop walking, running, rush rush rush ( xmas season rush ) and i GAINED 30 lbs in one month and supposedly, thyroid medicine is suppose to help get some of that weight off of you but I'M NOT LOSING! Please have good news for me tomorrow, Doc.:nervous

One thing that helps me a lot when I see something so declious looking that I wanna cheat on my 'diet'.. my grandma use to always tell me "Eat to live, don't live to eat" and everytime I eat something I know I shouldn't, I think of that saying and it helps me to put it down that much faster. Nothing's wrong with indulging in some of the not so healthy foods every once in a while but know when to quit and that's not when your belly hurts, it's when you *know* you've had your fair share. Good luck!

Just curious, how'd you lose your weight so fast? and Congrats!

Yeah, I think the best thing to do is try things on in the store. I'm 280 and I wear a size 22

I need to lose some flab on my inner thighs but don't know any exercises that work that area. Any ideas?

So.. still 7 days before my appt. but I've decided to try and lose what weight I can before getting banded so I'm gonna try the slim fast plan. I'm pretty excited about it. It seems sensible and something I can stick to seeing as I don't eat all that much anyway but maybe this will help me get into eating healthier.

Ah.. that makes so much sense. :faint:

Well, I'm seriously hoping to get to the point of running after I'm banded, there's nothing more I want in the world. :welldoneclap: Congrats on your success tho, you're an inspiration. As for Curves... I've been seriously thinking about that too. I've been there to do the tour but my friend and I thought "wow, this is too simple" but after reading the thread here on Curves, I'm willing to give it a try. It's probably harder than it looks.

what if you're too fat to run though? lol My doctor advised me actually, to not even walk because it would damage my ankles and knees ( I'm 280, 5'4 ) But, I feel awful when I don't walk, like I'm lazy so I'm trying to do the most I can without really being hard on myself. Maybe a thigh master? lol

I didn't know about the hair loss thing... but I lose hair anyway because of thyroid disease so i guess after being banded, I'll be bald.

Weirdest thing, I typed in the forum address and it went to the main page then a hack site took over.. is it just me or did anyone else see this?

I had read one of Telly's entries and saw her virtual model so I thought I'd try it myself and omg, how I long to look like that I can't wait to actually have a body and dress up like a young lady instead of boyish because I can't find clothes big enough to fit comfortably. That's an amazing difference... from 280 to 150 lbs.

yeah, that's what happened to me yesterday... the german site was what came up.. *shrugs*

Oh, okay.. phew

It kept doing it to me yesterday until I hurried up and clicked a link on the lapband site and it quit, hasn't done it since.... but weird, nonetheless. I didn't know if it was the site or my computer.
