Hi everyone! Hope everyone had great holidays. Remember me? The one who's band slipped like 9 mths ago, was unfilled, refilled and it's still slipped? After a gain of 18 lbs, I thought I was doomed. I still had restriciton until about 6pm when I could eat the side of a house. And I did. My husband and I left OR to Ca for the holidays 3 wks ago. While gone, I tended to have more restriction at night. I thought for sure I gained about 5 lbs the past 3 wks. Got home on Wed and lost 2 lbs! Hubby gained 5 lbs and he's mad that I lost. Went grocery shopping yesterday and bouoght NO JUNK food. A first for me in about 2 yrs. I'm on a mission to get to my goal (I was about 9 lbs away a year ago) this year. I don't make New Years resolutions, but I am promising to lost what I gained this past year and the additional 9 lbs (a total of 28 lbs). I'm not a fan of low carbing it, but I might try it. Now that Atkins has frozen meals (me and my microwave have a love affair goin on!)

Anyway, I managed to lose 2 lbs over the holidays!! I'm happy about it! Maybe someday I'll actually get my band fixed. I'd like it to work like it used to be. But I'm working with it right now. 3 yrs later, I've GOT to learn how to do it on my own instead of relying on my band to do 100% of the work. Sitting in a ski lodge right now while my hubby and stepdaughter ski (had a skiing accidnet last year. Needless to say, I'm scared of trying it again!) and just finished about 1/4 of a chicken salad sandwich and about 12 almonds. Resisting the chili cheese fries at the bar!

Glad to hear you did well over the holidays. And that you have restriction again at night. I didn't know Atkins has frozen dinners now? Are the at the regular stores?

Good luck on your resolution. U can do it!!!

Yes, they r at Super WalMart and Safeway that I've seen so far. There's a limited variey and they cost $4-$5 each. Double of a Lean Cuisine. Bought the Beef and Broccoli to try and it's actually very yummy! And I could only eat about 1/2 of it

Wishing you the best Marci! You are a real inspiration. I hit my goal in November and now I'm a little afraid to step on the scale...lol.I didn't go crazy eating this holiday season but I surely didn't make the healthiest choices at the 10 parties I attended!!!!!

Oh well. Back to being a good little bandster.
