Lower BMI Bandsters!
Hey Bandiva!!! I am supposed to get my fill next week and I am hoping to get restriction but then i am scared. I have been able to eat anything I want and don't have to eat slow either. I am going to have to watch it. I weigh in on Friday. I was premenstrual last Friday so I stayed the same in weight. *I feel thinner though. So, what advice would you give to not slime? What causes it for you? Yeah, my nails are definitely a lot longer than the small ones I am used to that always break. I asked for short but I guess for them, this was. I haven't had nails for 12 years!!! I am getting better at the typing. I was getting really frustrated that I couldn't type and get my thoughts down.:faint: I normally type like 70 words a minute, so I was hating my nails getting stuck inbetween the keys and hitting all the wrong keys and add hormones to it!! I am feeling better today!!! How are you? What did you do for Valentine's Day? My hubby got me an Ipod so I am going to start my workout regime!!! I need to have music or I just can't get into it. So, now I have no excuses!!

January Bandsters???
Just checking in !!! Happy Valentines Day!! I am doing good!!! My hubby bought me an Ipod. I wanted one because my favorite workout music always gets me in the mood to workout. Now, to learn how to move my music from Windows Media Player to Itunes!!! I went to Dennys for breakfast. Had 2 sausages, 2 bacon and maybe 1/2 of the scrambled eggs. Didn't eat the pancakes or hash browns. I am still not hungry and it is 3pm. How are you all doing today?? Any goals? My goal is to get my playlist on the Ipod and start working out!!!!! Anyone want to do a workout challenge??

Diet Frustrations...
I have been following South Beach since I was binging on sweets and carbs before banding. Doing South Beach always got me off my cravings after about 4 days. There are so many meal ideas and yummy recipes like cheese cake and I eat lots of sugar free fudgsicles.

South Beach Diet Bandsters???
Breakfast: 2 string cheese Snack: 2 strawberries and 10 grapes ( went to a womans bible study and that was the best option) Lunch: 2 harboiled eggs, deviled egg style, Liquid: 32 ounces of watered down crystal light, sugar free jello Supplements: liquid vitamins, 1 biotin, 1 quickslim30 No exercise I feel really out of it this period I am having. I have had headaches prior to it and two days out. I feel nauseous and feel like I want to get a migranine. I am just trying to rest. I think I will skip dinner since I feel nauseous. I have been staying 100% on track with my meals, staying on the beach, so I can't wait to see what weigh in on Friday is like.

IPod Questions- windows media player
I already have itunes but dont have the ipod yet. I tried to click and drag a song from windows media player and put it in the itunes library, but it didn't work. Do I need an Ipod first? Or is there a way to just transfer the songs from WMP to Itunes? I am not too computer savy so I need the Idiots version. Thanks!

I am really sorry you are going through all of this. Family knows how to get under our skin more than anyone. Why is she mad at you if your dad made the decision? It will for sure motivate you to lose it to show her it was worth the investment. Is she overweight? Maybe she is a little envious. Just know it is not your problem, it is your moms problem and she needs to work it out. It's not like you stole the money, it was freely given by your dad. When you lose the weight, she will probably feel different.

Hey Supergenius!!! I have not been counting cals or exercising due to this horrible period. I feel awful!! I feel so out of it and have had a headache. I feel tired and just not myself. I do keep a loose count of my intake.. This is what I ate today: 2 sting cheese, 2 strawberries and grapes( went to a womens bible study and that was the only healthy thing there), 2 hardboiled eggs and sugar free jello. 32 ounces of water so far. My vitamins, biotin and quickslim30. I am also having a heck of a time typing since I had acrilyc nail put on. It is hard! I am sorry to be so out of it and I can't wait to feel myself again.

I eat the regular and another one that I can't remember the flavor,like onion or something. I am supposed to get a fill within a week or so, and I am wondering how things will be. I can eat anything right now.
