25 pounds is great!!

welcome to LBT!! :wink2: congrats on 32 pounds.

welcome to LBT. congrats on taking the first step. the band is truly a lifestyle change. good luck

AZPete that is amazing... congrats on your halfs. are you using a formal program to train for the marathon or just running your @$$ off? i had the nike+ system and it never calibrated properly for me. treadmill said 1 mile, nike+ said 1.55..

THANKS G, i knew you'd know where to find it!! :smile: those chicken breasts are amazing. we had the mushroom last night and mmmmmmmmmm :wink2::drool: you cook them frozen (dont thaw like i did the first time ... :wink2:)

i think i may do that ... i'll make it REALLY REALLY high (like 500) so she'll go REALLY? and i can say NO! and then i'll ask her why she wants to know... yeah, my pannus was just hindering everything (exercising, life in general...) thanks!

welcome allykat!

Pat, sorry you had to experience getting stuck, but it's pretty much inevitable for everyone. you're right, drinking anything to 'wash it down' doesnt work (but sometimes it does help bring it up - with great force!!!!) take care

Michele, that is fabulous!! have a great day

i agree... he is so NOT a rock star!!! and i think the girls are at such a disadvantage, like everyone, i think they should do 2 separate sections

what about a sugar free mint maybe? i tend to get tired of the strips after a day or so. breath savers has a SF variety. congrats on being banded! :thumbup:

hi Marie, congrats on making the consult and welcome to LBT! hmmmm ... pre op questions: what kind of pre op diet will i be on what kind of post op diet will i be on how much (if any) do i need to lose before surgery thats about all i can think of ... good luck

OK, so you realize what you are doing (and not doing)... even if this morning started off horribly, start again now... like RIGHT now. log your food, get the Protein in. you've lost 36 pounds!!! that is amazing. you can keep going. you can do it.

well, LC is really working well for me. i'm down about 6 pounds this week so far. i dont. if i have time, i'll search for it. Georgia Girl may know.

holy carb overload ... i thought i did ok, but came out to about 41 total carbs (i dont do net) b - shake l - 1 cheeseburger (vidalia onions) s - lots of salad with steak and cheese / spicy ranch dressing s - 1/2 serving LC cheesecake d - rotisserie chicken thigh (and skin) d - mushroom stuffed chicken s - tons of coolwhip (about 6-8 TBSP) yeah ... was a tad hungry today. :thumbup:

thanks ... i just hate that she ASSumes that i have lost 200 pounds.... yeah, im getting closer to losing that much, but she hasnt seen me since 20 or more pounds ago... just infuriates me...

it sometime stalls, be careful.

welcome Bunny ... grrr ... Georgia!! ok ... LC cheesecake (home made) 1 brick of philly cream cheese (regular) 2/3 tub of cool whip (regular) 1.5-2 TBSP of sour cream (regular) dash or 2 of imitation vanilla 1.5-2 packets of sweet n low mash all together well with a big fork. make sure it's all mixed well (i dont mind mine lumpy) fridge ... no crust of course, but it takes care of my craving... (just finished a batch i made last night ... :Dancing_tongue::thumbup::blushing::Dancing_shocked::blushing:)

ok, im STARVING ... so far eating all LC stuff, but including dinner tonight, im up to almost 1700 cals!! LC cheesecake, rotisserie chicken as Snacks... what is going on with me ... grrrrrr

OP = :thumbup::cursing::thumbup: LMAO!

hey ... no secrets here ... :thumbup: btw, love the way the focus is being taken away from the OP over there ... LOL...

welcome nip!

i've had mine since June and still love it ... im letting my DH borrow mine (actually, he stole it from me after my plastics) and my arm is really lonely!!! :thumbup:

just search amazon for atkins caramel and you should find them hmmm. suggestions... the chicken from the other low carb thread was really good. you can get it at WalMart super center... cant remember the name of them though... just search for the low carb thread (its pretty big...)
