Can someone give me directions? I have been to the Polaris one time but it's been a few year's back, i know how to get to dublin but i don't can't remember after that.

I started our challenge yesterday but i wasn't able to post so here goes 1-5-09 walked 30 min. and stretched 10 min. 1-6-09 gazelle 60 min. and stretched 10 min. so i have 1.5 hrs. down and 2.5 to go. Hope to have others join, this will help me and hopefully others to get and stay motivated.

wish you could join us to losinjusme, sorry to here about you having to be on bed rest but congratulations on the baby, not to much longer now. how long have you been on bed rest? i had to do it a month before my son was born and at times it seemed to go by quick and others it dragged. but the end result was so good.

sounds good to me, Jan 5th - Feb 15th it is then. and 4 hrs sounds good for me also. now we just need to get some more people to join us. come on everyone, lets have some fun.

Great KStar, now we just have to come up with a challenge. I know that you can lose the 8# especially once you get your fill. Come on October bandster's lets see how many we can get to do the challenge. I think that a good challenge would be to exercise at least 4 hrs. a wk. I read an article today by Jillian Michaels from the biggest loser and she said that all she ask is that you exercise at least 5 hrs a wk and you will see a big difference. So my goal is to exercise 5 hrs. but some people might not be up to that so you can set your own personal goal. So what do ya think. I'm ready for 2009!!!

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in probably a year. I have been losing and gaining the same 7#in the past year.I have Lost a total of 70# since my band. I am still very happy with my decision to have the band. On another note, how does everyone feel about a New Years challenge? Say from Jan 1st to Feb 14th. We have a few days to come up with one. I was thinking of 1. walk 4 hrs. a wk, 2. work out 30 min. a day to exercise video, 3. or anything else that you can come up with. Maybe this is what we need to get us kick started. Like i said i'm very happy with how things are but I would be even happier if i would complete the journey that i started over two years ago. Hope to here from you soon.

hi everyone, just checking in, i haven't been here in awhile. I'm still the same, not losing but not gaining either. I feel really good though and i know that i will reach my goal. I'd like to get there by summer clothes shopping time. i hope everyone had a good thanksgiving.

linadu ...249......183........135.....48

No i'm not where i want to be but like you said the small portions of crap doesn't help. i'm still pleased with how far i have come but i know that i could of been farther if i would eat better. I don't know how many of you chose not to tell anyone about having the band, i was one who only told my parents, well my mom told me today that she let it slip... to my aunt that i had the band done. I am so upset with her for this, you see she is thinking about having the surgery and she had decided to tell people, and i knew when she decided to tell people that she would end up telling about me. I had asked her not to tell anyone over and over. She doesn't understand why i'm upset with her, so i'm asking .... do you think that i'm over reacting? I just feel that she told on purpose, and I wouldn't of said anything about her if she would ask me not to. Now i feel stupid around my aunt. When asked how i have been losing i would always just say i was eating smaller portions, which wasn't a lie. Oh well there's nothing i can do about it now.

hello, how's everone doing? well i gained 1# this week. i didn't stick to the SB that good so i started back in again yesterday. I just want to get under 180 so bad, all i have to do is lose 5# and i know i can do it. I'll check back in later this wk to see how everone else is doing.

hi everyone, well i didn't lose any this week but i didn't gain, i kinda went off a few to many times, but i'm not discouraged. hope everyone is doing good. Oh and i have tried the spaghetti squash and i like it. i like it with low carb alfredo sauce and chicken, yummy.

hey dani, i love my latte's also and couldn't believe how many carbs were in skim milk, i switched to light vanilla soy milk (8th continent) it still has 5 carbs but it's one treat that i love to give my self, i also use sugarfree flavorings which have no carbs. hope this helps. weight loss has been going good since i joined weight watchers and also cut down on my carbs. I joined weight watchers more for the accountabilty factor (weekly weigh in)

hi everyone, this is the first time i have posted here but i have been reading it for awhile. I was wondering if after losing weight if you have found yourself being more sexual? I have been divorced for 19 yrs and i didn't date till the past 6 months and i have had 2 one night stand which i instagated. I am on such a high while it's happening but the next day i feel really cheap. i didn't pick up strangers, i knew both of them but it has changed our relationships afterwords. both times i have been drinking which is something that i normally don't do. i know this is a problem with myself that i need to work on but it would be nice to here from others that are or have experienced the same thing.

well in a weeks time i have lost 9#, i know that it has to be mostly water but i am still loving it. My cravings have already stopped and i actually don't feel hungry. why or why do i not just stay on this because i know that it is what works best for me. hi baby, it's been awhile since we have talked, glad to see you giving it another try like i am. kaydotrn congrats on the 7# doesn't it feel awsome. so i probably won't check back in till next weekend, hope everyone has a good week

i just started also, i've done south beach in the past and it helped with my cravings. i have also been on a 3 month plataue, and it's all because of my eating, soft food, junk food. i gain and lose the same 5# and it is so aggravating. does anyone remember how long it takes you to start losing? I can't remember. nilsa shrimp is low in carbs and so is chicken.
