losingjusme

<<sigh>> i wish we had a Trader Joe's in Dallas ...

just dont do it. trust me, i've been there. pre-banding i would have 3-4-5 glasses of tea gulped with my meals. dont even pour something for you to drink when you eat at home. if you eat out, if you MUST have something before the meal, ask the server to take it away when your meal comes. you can do this. think of the benefit that not drinking will give you (stay satisfied longer). good luck.

more info on the "watch" 24 hour fitness has them (only 4 in stock) and cannot (will not) sell until Friday. They are $99+tax and they give you an immediate readout of where you are. i had them reserve one for me. yup, imageek.

anyone seen Tann (Tammy) around lately?

anyone up for a September challenge? i posted one in our folder.

it really could be a safety issue. they cant really judge, ok, this person is big but can move but this person not so much. (i work for a maajor airline and hate it, but understand it)

michiganer, i am so sorry that happened to you. Jane, congratulations! That is a GREAT BMI drop!! i love MFD. i usually do not go there for the "support" (here is the place to be ), i did post something about lap band once and it was well received. not much 'flaming' going on that i've seen. i think it is worth the 9 bucks. it keeps me accountable and is easy to use. when i first started out, i was treadmill only. started with 8 minutes and gradually increased day by day. i know this is easier said than done, but dont worry about what others are thinking. you are there for YOU. i am pretty sure when i first started (and who knows - maybe still) that people were like look at the fat chick on the treadmill, but you know, you are taking care of the 'fat chick' and turning her into a 'hot chick' (or hot guy - not sure of your sex - ) great point daddy...

i had it too for the first couple of weeks. even though i thought i was drinking enought, i wasnt. up your Fluid intake by about 3-4 ounces an hour. if that doesnt work, double it. good luck!

ragdollx, thanks! i love being able to show people that the lapband works, IF you work it... i havent been to the support meetings, but may go to the one on Sept 10th.

i go early morning (420ish) then go to work, but that doesnt look like it would be good for you... one suggestion, dont put this off on your DH ... you need to do this for YOU!!! :mad: i liked the idea that someone had about tapes/videos in the morning, but i think you will get more out of maybe going to the Y. i agree with packing the night or morning before. i find if i do not pack my clothes the night before, i am not going to work out the next day. best of luck to you (i had Dr. Marsden as my Sx too)

went this morning.. almost 3 miles on elliptical (2.99) 3ish miles on bike will more than likely go this afternoon as well

wow, julie, that's wonderful!!

congrats to the two entering twoterville! nicole, that loss is great! Congrats on a fab week!! katie, keep your chin up, you will get there. maybe try to do 1 thing a little different this week to see if that knocks it off! i have been losing/gaining the same 3 - 4 pounds for about a week. i need to start 100% back to low carb. i know that's what works for me...

daddy, thanks. i didnt care too much for fit day, lots of manually entering food. i use My Food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log for my 'fuel' info.

anyone want to do some sort of challenge? it can be weight loss or exercise or whatever. thoughts?

hmm, thought i responded. definitely Monday! thanks for the info! i cant check the BB at work either, so i am thinking it may be worth it as well.

ahh, well i am pretty much ALLLLLL belly (well, you know what i mean).. if it wasnt for my tummy, i'd just be 'fat' not obese ... i'd settle for fat right now ...

i just had my dh search and it worked. Losing Jusme - 2 words. i didnt want to use my real name either, so i used losing as my first and jusme as my last. i'm sure you can do the same with yours.

i was just wondering if anyone here uses facebook. i just set up my losing jusme profile and **sob** have no friends ... for those who do not know what facebook is, it's kind of like myspace but i dont think it's as cluttered... i dunno ... i tend to like it more than myspace. Facebook | Welcome to Facebook! is the address. just search for losing jusme. will you be my friend ??

awww.... **blush** thanks. i had so many people to help me out, whatever i can do to help others, i will try to do ... i still have a L O N G way to go though ..

i needed about 4 working days, but took a whole week. it was nice not being under any pressure to go back. i have a desk job but very busy up and down a lot. i dont know about that. last time i flew (about 290ish) i still needed the extender. i work for an airline and have my own so it's not too bad. hopefully next time i fly i wont need one!! good luck...

hmmm ... i dunno ... i thought i read somewhere about it being a watch. i 1/2 read it cause i'm kinda ticked that i didnt get THAT one ...

of course there is a new version coming out! mine is about 2 months old ... THAT is my luck ... it looks pretty cool - digital display but not sure how it is going to work. hopefully this link will work: http://my.apexfitness.com/uploads/bodybugg_display_overview.pdf i am so used to wearing it around my arm, i dunno if i could wear it as a watch...

*sigh* i shoulda read a few hours ago ... i DID walk around target for 1 1/2 hours though ... training is gonna be a bitch tomorrow ... i didnt do ANYTHING this weekend... the scale is not going to be kind either... oh well, you pay when you play ...
