& Teresita

Oh I know Teresita, and I am very proud of what I have done so far and wouldnt change it for the world

Avilla, 1/2 pound could be the clothes you were wearing, water weight, breakfast, period gain, too much hairspray:) There are so many things it could be that I just wouldn't worry about it. And waiting 3 days? PUT THAT SCALE AWAY GIRL!

 

I was thinking about buying a scale but I would probably step on it every day...maybe I won't buy one.

 

Oh I know oakiefamily....That scale drives me crazy...I have been trying for months to get rid of my bad habit of weighing in every day but its got me hooked...I am suprised that I was able to wait 3 days before I weighed in this time...That in itself was an accomplishment...lol...I have a set of scales at work that I keep an official weigh in on, so its here staring me in the face each morning, afternoon and evening...lol

Avilla

SAY IT AGAIN!!!

Thanks for all of your posts today! I am glad to see I am not the only one struggling right now.

Bandida - good job on the kickboxing and only eatine ONE muffin, you did good girl. WOOHOO! THREE MORE DAYS till you join us as a member of BandLand! Good luck to ya!

Teresita - Great job on staying busy last night to keep from eating, I have to do the same thing as my dear hubby works at night and when I am watching TV my old habits want to attack!

Avilla - Keep your chin up, you might show a loss the next time, our bodies don't get along with scales and daily weigh-ins, or at least not mine. We retain fluid sometimes, the moon is in a weird phase, not holding out mouth right, etc. Don't get discouraged, the scales will start going the right direction soon, you are doing great!

Now for my update about last night.... I had supper with 1/2 cup refried beans around 6 then had about 1/4 cup mixed nuts around 8. Then a bedtime snack of 4 oz cheese and 4 crackers then right before bed had a cup of sugarfree hot cocoa. That is my daily treat (hot cocoa) I used to eat icecream before bed before my band and lots of it, and that temptation is still VERYTHERE, but I tell myself the hot cocoa will fill the sweet need and just go on to bed afterwards.

I have not made it to the gym yet today but plan to later this evening. I have already drank 40 oz of water today (I get up real early to start work at 5:30 a.m.) now to use the work of the week from Tersita -CONSISTENCY - keep up the water intake, food journalling and daily exercise.

You all are a huge inspiration and encouragement to me. I will be here often cause I need the motivation. Thanks ya'll.

Have a good lapband day!

I often think we trade our food addiction for another addiction, alcohol, sex, exercise (I wish). Mine is this forum and the yahoo groups I frequent so much I can't get any work done...Avilla's is getting on the scale! Don't let some piece of metal and plastic determine how Your day is going to go!

I go to get my first fill today...wish me luck, I report back later how it was!

In the big picture, we are all headed in the right direction and we know what it is going to take for us to get there. So today is the start of a new day and we will get the job done.

Ok Ladies... I'm feeling kind of depressed today. Last night I got my dinner (chili) stuck TWICE so I couldn't eat it and my german shepard got to have it so I waited a few hours and had a cup of ice cream before bed (bad I know). I'm just depressed today. Thinking about my mom a lot lately. I miss her and I wish she were with me for this entire process.

One of my best friends mother was diagnosed with advanced cancer and they're doing a 8 hour surgery on her today to try and remove as much cancer as possible, which involves removing half her stomach and liver..etc. I'm just very sad for my friend because I don't think her mom is going to make it. It's so hard to lose your mom.

Sorry, I'm just down...but on the bright side I'm getting all my water!

I had one slice of wheat toast for breakfast.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOU HAVING TO GO THRU ALL OF THIS...I KNOW THAT CANCER IS A DEVIL THAT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND DOES NOT CARE WHO IT RUINS IN ITS PATH...I KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO BE UPSETTING FOR EVERYONE AROUND THE FAMILY...I COULD NOT EVEN IMAGINE LOSING MY MOTHER, SHE IS PART OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE...BIG SQUISHY HUGS OUT TO YOU TODAY

OH I KNOW, I NEED TO JUST THROW AWAY MY scales FOR NOW...THEY ARE NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN THE PATOOTIE!! TRUST ME, I HAVE TRIED!! I NEED TO TRY AGAIN AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THEM SO MUCH!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FILL TODAY! YOU WILL DO WONDERFUL:clap2:

Avilla I wish I had a scale that I could get on but that is another goal. Before I get to 350 I am going to go buy a scale that only goes up to 350. yeah

Josette I am so sorry about your friends mom. Help both of them through this and create some new fun memories right now. Get some flowers, funny balloons and cards. Be sure to take pictures of them. Just be there for her. She is going to need a shoulder to cry on through this whole process. I lost my mother to cancer about 15 years ago and my dad almost 3 years ago. Just be sure there are smiles and laughs between the tears. Count the blessings of the past, present and the future.

Ok gals, I committed but haven't been posting. I have done very well on my exercise and water and all. I joined a gym last week and went three times last week and will go at least 4 this week. My goal is 5 times. I ride the bike and walk on the treadmill. I have been riding my bike at home so I am able to ride for an hour. When I have time I want to ride for an hour and walk on the treadmill for an hour. I don't always have this kind of time though. It sure makes me sleep good. lol

I have really enjoyed reading this thread and promise to contribute more.

You guys are awesome!!!!!

Well my walking excercise is out for awhile... I ended up sompressing my lower spine and pulled a muscle.... so it takes alot of effort to just go get drinks and potty.... I am not giving up tho, i will use hand weights....

so far I just got up and had a whey Protein shake w/lite soymilk 190cals total

JOSETTE,- I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FRIEND'S MOM. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP... WE ARE ALL HERE W/YOU

I NEED A SLAP TO GET DRINKING MY WATER! :bored I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!:paranoid .

I AM HEADING TO THE TREADMILL TO WALK MYSELF THIRSTY!(LOL)

does skim milk count as Water?? What do you guys think?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I lost my 49 year old mother just a year and a half ago to ovarian cancer. It's still a struggle everyday! But here I am kicking my weights butt in her memory! She's very proud of me I'm sure!

On the subject of the scale... My husband gets VERY annoyed with me because I've been obsessed with weighing myself. I think for the month of Feb I'm going to have him hide the scale from me and I'll weigh in at the end of the month at my doctors. I've burned threw batteries in my scale twice already. hahahaha.

Hey all,

Yesterday was a good day all round.

Cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast

Lentil soup for lunch

Uhmm next to nothing for supper because the pork chop got stuck right at the beginning

A cup of veggies with dip

1 Piece of turkey pepperoni

1 bite of vanilla ice cream...1 bite!

got all my water in and ended up staying home again because of my cold but did 30 runs up and down my stairs in my house....in three sets of 10. I'm also doing crunches at night because I'm really scared of what my stomach is going to look like at the end of this. Husband is also hiding my scale because I'm being ridiculous about weighing so from now on I only get the scale on Monday morning.

P.S. I don't think that skim milk counts for water but try adding a flavor packet like crystal light to it....that helps a ton of people get all their water in.

Have a great day all!
