:devious SARGE HERE:devious

Prayers are great...BUT w/Actions are better!

Now worship your body like the Temple

God intended it to be!

He helps those who help themselevs.

(:deviousthat means everyone get off your butts

& change your routines:devious)

Stand up infront of the mirror & say out loud

"There is no amount of struggle I can not handle with Jesus' love."

I am talking to each & everyone of you!

We all could have done better last week like SuperDaddy said. ANd last night well lets say I screwed up & fell short of being a good solider to God & myself

& am now paying for it just like Lapbandfan. But today

RIGHT NOW

it can all change.

That was part of the commitment page!!

Remember - that if you fall off you need to start from that very moment AGAIN...Not the next day or week. So our moments of defeat will be brief & passing!

I AM PUMPED UP & READY TO FIGHT

WE WILL ALL DO IT THIS WEEK

MAKE SMART DECISIONS

GET ANGRY

MOTIVATE YOUR MIND

YOUR BODY WILL WANT TO FALL IN LINE!

Thanks Janet & I'll Succeed. I have a summertime goal that I'm working on....thanks to this motivational challenge it's easier to get there.:clap2:

WHOOORAHHHHH!:devious:devious:devious

SuperDad- great Job with that loss!

I'm praying for you, Brenda! While you're unfilled, any possibility of skipping the TV viewing? Switch it up for a late night walk? Take some water with you, walk to the park & drink it while you look at the stars? (Yeah, I'm being romantic & not practical, LOL!)

When do you start getting fills again? Hang in there! You are a winner! You will conquer this!!

Thanks all for the prayers, advice and encourgment. You are right ONLY I can control over what goes in my mouth I need to burn that in my brain. I go to my regular doc today for a follow up on my migraines, so I am sure he will Kick butt too about my gain.

I WILL DRINK MORE WATER..... NO MORE JELLO UNLESS IN THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER PERSON....I CANNOT BE TRUSTED ALONE WITH IT! I WILL EXERCISE TODAY FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES BUT HOPEFULLY AN HOUR....

Again, thanks.... we can do this together. I have a goal to be under 200 pounds by Christmas....tough goal I know but I have 40 pounds to lose by then....think that is do-able?

Y*O*U

Sometimes I'm just sitting here at work and I want to exercise. I want to go for a walk outside, run in place, do some sit ups but I would look absolutly crazy.

Hi Sarge! I'm reporting late this week -- I'm very sorry!!!!!

thankfully I lost the 3 pounds I gained last week, so I guess I'm about where I started... so

4/10 = + 3 pounds to 222

4/17 = - 3 pounds to 219

PLUS, I just bought a tape measurer TODAY so i'm going to get started doing that too! Thanks everyone!

Well, I went back to my regular doc for a 6-month check up on my migraines yesterday, my blood pressure has been up the last 4 times I have gone to him and he put me on a pill for it. It is so weird when I weighed my highest weight at 365 my blood pressure stayed normal and on the low side, but now that I have lost the weight, it is high?!?! :grouphug: It is in my family history and he said that is part of it. Anyway he said to try to increase my exercise and keep at it, not keep starting and stopping like I have been in the habit of doing, he said I had to make it top priority of I want to lose my last 50 pounds and to get off these pills. So yet another incentive to try harder.

He also suggested I re-start weight watchers mainly for the accountability every week and for the support meetings. He said these last 50 lbs will be the hardest to lose ever and that I will need to go to someone once a week and be confronted about my weight:omg: - which is so true.

I can't wait till my first fill on May 9th to get started getting my restriction back but in the meantime, I am gonna FOCUS on the exercise and water more.

Thanks for listening to me whine and for all your encouargement....

Please Sarge let me join late! I am SO ready for this, have already been doing the work and cutting back on the food and getting all my water in, just never saw this thread somehow. I'll be a good private, promise!

You are official signed & commited Private EmileeKaye

Please read the first post w/the commitment page to yourself if you haven't already. Get a calendar out to mark your progress, throw away the junk food, plan exercise in at least 3 times a week & start getting all your water in & away you go!!;0). GLad to have you.

We weight in Sundays & Mondays but it seem that most are now weighing in later around Tuesays & wednesday. It seems to be working. I will post again shortly so good luck!

I am pleased to announce that I have had a 5 (FIVE) lb loss and a 1.5 inch loss this week. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: OMG When I read back in my journal I notice I have made a few changes..... I have been a faithfull journal writer! I even wrote down the piece of Easter Bunny I snatched from the kids basket. Every day has the calories, protein and oz I consumed. :eekB: Another thing I started this week is green tea extract. I was drinking Lipton Diet Green Tea two or three bottles a day, then my nutritionist pointed out that those oz could not be counted because there is caffeine in it!!!!! She suggested that I try the Green Tea Extract (NO caffeine and NO sweeteners) just two droppers in a bottle of water. It doesn't taste bad nor good but the ECGC in the Green Tea without the caffeine and artificial sweeteners is a much better choice. I have also gone back to my Zone Bars (I love the Chocolate Mint ones) and Atkins Shakes for my snacks and inbetweens. I also broke down and bought Skim Plus Milk..... I drink at least two glasses (8oz) a day. The extra protein in the milk, bars and shakes has helped me to make my 1100 calorie, 100 g protein and 100 oz a day goal all week!!!! And guess what it worked.. I havent changed my exersize, I still walk on the treadmill three times a week and use the yoga ball, ring and weights twice... Perhaps I will toy with that this week. My computer is back and So am I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GoodBye 300 I will only I have broken thru to the 200 club! I feel like putting tape on the 3key LOL

Woo Raaa

Hey Sarge, I'm reporting in a little earlier, since I lost track of days and reported late last week. :eekB: I have a -1.5 lb loss. woohoo! I had been getting a little depressed as I was holding a little water at that time of the month and it looks like I lost that. I still have been a little erratic about my exercise, but I'm recommitting myself.
