losingjusme

helllloooo ... i had my final run of week 1 today. it went fairly well. averaged 3.5 on my "brisk walk" and 4.2-4.3 on my runs. i am definitely going to rework week 1 next M W F. just to try it, i went a bit longer my final run and all i could do was about 1min 10ish seconds. soooo far from the 1 min 30 seconds that i would need to do. but tell ya what - i am burning major calories on my runs. i love love love it!! hope everyone is having a great week.... i actually cant wait til monday to start running again!

charsweb, 9 pounds! that's wonderful! SOOO close! you can do it. i am loving this ... i stay on plan and work out and i lose weight - imagine that Name......................

i still think the classic "i just got banded yesterday, but i like, just ate like a whole chicken. will i like be ok?" there are tons other examples in the thread called thread killers ...

well, our 2nd week officially starts Sunday. go with how your body feels. push yourself, but dont OVER push. can you comfortably go 3 running days at 90 secs a run? if so, go for it!! i will be repeating week 1.

oh Rain, you just hit my hotspot. if i see someone who has done it more than a couple times - ignore... but of course, i am a bitch and i'm sure i am on a few people's IG list ... oh well ... back to topic of rude ... bingo...

My new sig – unfortunately it wont all fit … this thread is great… <<back to my fried chicken, sirloin steak, baked potato meal even though I just had a fill and am supposed to be on liquids>> will I hurt my band?? - - - - - - - - - - No, I can't tell you which WLS to get. Yes, someone else has experienced it, whatever "it" is. No, I don't know if you're going to need PS. No, you're not in starvation mode. No, I don't know if your band has slipped 6 hours post-op. Yes, I've heard of it, whatever "it" is. Yes, I know you are hungry on Clear liquids. You'll live. No, I don't know which Protein shake you will prefer. What can you have week two of your post op diet? May I see your written instructions? Then I can let you know. Yes, exercise helps weight loss. No I dont regret this surgery or wish I had RNY your first fill wont work We all lose weight at different paces. My weight is not a good indicator of what your weight loss will be. You're six months out and haven't lost any weight because for the past 3 months you've avoided your doctor and you eat KFC everyday for lunch and dinner.

bloo - you rock!!

welcome Jaslady! it's nice to have more of us crazy runners around here... JM - when i first started awhile ago, i was having hip problems too. not horribly, but sore enough to notice. i knocked it down .3 MPH and that helped. maybe it will work for you too? i have my final run of week 1 tomorrow. i know for a fact i will repeat week 1 again next week, but that's ok ... :eek:

Laura, theres a great elliptical thread going on right now, you may want to check it out! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/elliptical-anyone-42270/ (fyi - i could barely do any time when i first started too - it was the machine i loved to hate)

I cant imagine maintaining with the way I was eating. Wayyyy too many cals and too little exercise. I am still on my post fill diet and I am very well restricted, we’ll see if that does it. That may be it right there. I burned 14 cals a minute Monday when I was running!! Talk about mega fat loss!!!! I totally agree. It’s been a huge struggle since I have hit the ½ way point. I have been really fat all my life, maybe my brain is just afraid to let me drop more cause he (yes, he – stubborn little ahem) wont know what to do then…??? Maybe that’s one of my reasons. SEVERE low carb really drops my weight (20 lbs/month), but what about my mentality? The deprivation?? I’d rather just lost 10 pounds a month consistently. Thank you – all the best to you on your band journey!! That’s my issue. Lately – ‘very controlled’ does not satisfy me. Like the “gotta have it” sized ice cream from Cold Stone. It’s pretty much a loosly packed pint … gone in about 15-20 minutes … COMPLETELY!! Yup, I’m fat, but not “enormous” … Yeah, it is pressure … it was really difficult even posting this because I didn’t want to look like a complete failure. I know that!! I started SOO big that the first 50 or so almost literally fell off me, but after that, I was still so big. Even bigger than other bandster’s starting weights… No, not now – yesterday :eek: I hope so, I am sick of being the ‘fat daughter’ I agree with the others – don’t bring them into the house!! That still does get to me. I don’t think it will take 43 more years, but I think it will take a couple of really strong years to make it completely automatic. That was awesome! I printed it out! (I’m a Marsden bandster as well!) Even though I repeated your advice, it doesn’t work if you actually drive to the ice cream shop at 830 pm… not that I would know anything about that! :eyeroll: Yeah, I am thinking I am a more ‘normal’ fat now. I gotta get my head into the “you are STILL fat and need to lose” mentality. GAHHHHHH – running away (not running too quickly though, Jachut ) You’re so right about that! I’ve been logging maybe 20% of my food lately. That accountability does help. I cant run for an hour, so the answer to that would be no. I want to be athletically fit. There is my new goal. Yes, you can be fit and fat at the same time, but IMO not athletically fit … me too! I’m not going anywhere!! Soooo wouldn’t want to see myself in all my naked glory … Yeah, it’s not just “living” anymore. You have to do more and actually work at it… Great idea. I need to do that. Maybe on my blog (that is currently growing cobwebs). Great job on the loss!! I downloaded the song. I’ll incorporate it into my cardio tomorrow. Ma’am yes MA’AM! Thanks Terri!!

great job meeting your goal!! :clap2: i am down a pound Name......................

MMT- GREAT JOB!!! i couldnt agree more on the exercise!

wooo hooo daddy!! great job! well i had my 2nd run today. it was GRRRRREEEEATTTTT!! will detail more when work is not screaming my name ...

gads ... one day i am swamped at work (normally i hear crickets it's so quiet...) i am SO going to do this ... i cant NOT do it, ya know ... so, if i have to take it 1 meal/snack at a time right now, that's what i am going to do... thanks! edited - Wheetsin ... naked pics ... eeeeeeeeeeek ... i dont think so! :embarassed::embarassed:

OMG you guys. i just cannot believe the support i have received here **crying**. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. all of your responses are so very much appreciated. i need to spend some time with DH, but will respond in a bit. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (btw - i did get a fill today. i told her to make my 'hole' the size of a 20 gauge syringe. we'll see if she listened to me...)

i didnt have the personal sessions (i have a trainer at 24 hr fitness), but i did tell my trainer about my band. you may want to do that because your calories may be so low ???

LMAO ... i can totally relate. i think i drove my DH nuts ... I SEE THEM I SEE THEM, can you see them too???

fabulous! isnt low carbing wonderful!!???

the quote right now - total farce ... :Banane35: it is meant to be motivation but it's not really working ... i am NOT happy where i am right now though ... that's the bad thing. i HATE being 270 pounds. i want to hit goal, i really really truly do ... i just cant make myself get there. i just want to be at goal NOOOOOOW ... that in itself should be motivation enough. i am just afraid that an out of control day/week is going to turn to an out of control month / quarter / year ... and i WILL gain if that happens. i dont really feel i have done a fantastic job... when you start out with such a high weight, the first 50 pounds literally fell off. granted i was eating reasonably well and going to the gym every day, but it was no where as difficult as it is now.. and i still have sooo much more to lose. "only" 36 pounds to my next mini-goal, but then there will be another 45-ish to go... i guess i just need to take it one day at a time but i just get that thru my thick head...

my feet used to get really tingly, i loosened my shoe laces and it helped a lot. C

:Banane35::confused: ok, even now after i took my 'break' and came back ... i just cant motivate myself to eat right and work out properly. the only thing i am doing 100% is my running and i know i cant do that every day. i continue to eat garbage and i want to stop (really, i do) but it's like the old me is back saying "ok, Monday, stop eating garbage" or "ok, after your fill you can get your crap together". its not just eating either. i had a 1/2 training session this morning and barely went thru the motions. it seems i've even forgot why i was banded in the first place. i know to lose weight ... that's the "duh" part ... but WHY ?? to be healthier? (i am healthier now), to be able to play with DD? (no problem now), to have great ummm relations with DH? (check) ... to fit into 'normal' clothes (got it - 18/20 fits me now *down from 6XL*) ... i need to make more/new goals i know but i dont know what i want... well i do but one of them is so freaking petty (i want to weigh less than my sister - i dunno how much she weighs but she's going up) ... ***sigh*** i just need the motivation / kick in the pants ??? to see it clearly. i cant believe i had it and just lost it :Banane10:

slow and steady wins the race ... :Banane35:
