Woke up when hubby left for work...now I'm wide awake (can't imagine why after sleeping all day yesterday lol) so I guess I will get the house work done while my shadows are still in bed

Has the best husband on the face of the earth...he always knows what to say to make me feel better when I've had a crappy night. I love you honey!

I have the EA Sports Active 2, and its killer! I love it!!! I also have Just Dance 3 and Gold's Gym dance workout - gotta keep it varied to keep my body guessing...as far as the rest of my routine, I eat a lot of salad and grilled chicken breasts, and I drink Click protein shakes in the morning - gives me my protein plus a shot of espresso (Which I can't start my day without my coffee!!!) on the 22 of Feb, I get to move to day shift, which should also help me in the weight loss - so I won't be eating my meals at 3am...that's been a killer the past several months. Hope everyone is doing well! -
My new EA sports game for the Wii came yesterday...20 min workout today was no joke! Now I'm ready for a nap!

Seeing a how every patient I touched today was 8 cm or more, it's great to know your coworkers are ROCKSTARS!!!

Hey Tiffany...I too have had problems getting the weight off, but am now back on track. I had thyroid surgery December following my surgery and that threw my body into a whirlwind! I finally got my medications straightened out, and I track every single thing that goes in my mouth on www.sparkpeople.com and I try to get in some form of exercise every single day. I follow all the rules my surgeon gave me (I had gotten away from that when I wasn't losing due to slow metabolism after the thyroid surgery) including no drinking 30 min before and after meals and no carbonation. I just finally decided to pull myself back up and get serious, and I've lost 12lb since 1/1/12!!! I'm at the lightest point I've been at in over 8 years...So keep your chin up and keep trying, it will eventually come off -
So very proud of my Josey...two accidents in two days. We might be turning the corner yet!!!
-
Breakfast done - workout done...now off to walmart for dog food and then the afternoon with my hubby and baby girl
Have a great day everyone! -
Really should nap before having to work tonight, but this weather is FABULOUS and I just wanna take my Josey to the park instead!

Hey everyone! Lisa, I'm still hanging out around here, not sure who else is! Well, after a LONG plateau, I have finally gotten over it and am now sitting at 248. I finally found a doc who would listen to me for my thyroid medicine and feel like a MILLION BUCKS! Hope this finds you all having had a great holiday and geared up for the new year! Erin -

OK, I put in a call to my surgeon today. I got on the scale and had gone from 255 back up to 261. Evidently this thing just isn't for me. No matter what I do, it isn't working. I can't eat enough to get my calories up to 1000, much less 1200...and yet I'm still not losing. I walk 30-45 minutes a day 3-5 days a week. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now...FAILURE, that's my adjective for today... -

Ok so after venting and complaining this morning, I woke up to a completely different day. I have been able to drink and eat without any problems! Who knows, I guess I just have a very finicky band...Gonna play it by ear and see how this thing goes... -

Ok, I need to vent to someone...I went in and had fluoro fill on Monday of last week...everything went great. I was eating and drinking just fine until yesterday. Then yesterday afternoon I woke up from a nap and couldn't drink water without severe epigastric pain. It takes FOREVER for a sip of water to go down. I think my band has slipped. I'm so frustrated I'm ready to tell my surgeon when I go in that I either want him to do a revision or just take it out all together. Depressed, discouraged and angry describes me lately. I haven't lost any weight to speak of since December...so what's the point in having it if I can't lose with it??? UGH! -

My band is pretty tight, I eat about a cup of food and stay full for about 4 hours. I had to have it loosened last month, was too tight. Not sure what is holding me back... -

Yep, I feel like a failure...I'm sitting at 32 lb gone, many others are at least twice that...I just don't get it.
