Twinmommy...

What is the process for being pre qualified for PS? Who sets the goal weight to say you can see a PS? I'm just curious... I mean...even if I do hit goal... I'm gonna wait for PS until after we have a baby...

NSV!

I was in a clothing shope here that was haveing a big clearance sale and thought I would get a few chear items that fit. (I don't want to spend alot on things I do not intend to wear long) Was looking through one of the stand of clothes and a sales lady came up to me and said "You should look over there, you look like a size 6 and there are some real cute size 6 pants that are a very good price" I just smiles and said "THANKS". Now I am not a size six YET, and she might of just been nice trying to make a sale. I dont care.........I loved it. But I did buy a very cute pair of size 8.....to wear until I fit into those size 6 that I also got (at a very good price).

You could probably go see one anytime. That is just what I have personally set for myself. I feel like after that, the rest will have to be cut off and tightened up. I wouldn't go until after the baby also. But I have had three kiddos and two C's 19 months apart. There is only so much the gym can do.

OK guys... I need some words of encouragement...

I've worked out (cardio only) the past 3 days...only ate what I'm supposed to..been getting all of my water in... and the scale only moved .8 lbs!!! UUGGHHH!!!!!!

AND still no TOM... a week late... no worries...test was negative today. I'm miserable though... awful mood swings... I cried while watching the biggest loser last night!! Like full on sobbing!!!

My willpower is getting better though... yesterday the big boss brought in some donuts and donut holes... I stayed clear!! I even told my friend at work if she saw me going for them to trip me!!! Wouldnt that have been a sight!!!!

LauraP... I tried to post a message to you yesterday..guess it didnt take.. BUT....

AWESOME FOR YOU!!!

How thrilled were you by buying a size 8... but someone pushing you towards size 6!!! I dont ever recall in my adult life being below a size 10. I'm curvy.... and even at a size 10 my face was very thin...and still had the butt and boobs.... so I'm not expecting to get below that size... but OMG.. if I did... I think everyone would know!! I'd wear the darn pants inside out so everyone could see they were a size 8!!!! HA!!!!

OK... one last post then I'm getting ready for work.... haha....

I was in "pre band class" with a guy I went to high school with... really nice guy... it made me feel much better knowing that someone I knew would be going thru the same thing I was... anyhow... We are still in touch via myspace... he was banded in July...and is down 125!!!! how amazing is that?!? Then I found out that the girl I've been getting close with at work is his sister!!! Delaware is WAY too small... haha... I have told her that I'm also banded so she is keeping tabs on me.. making sure I'm getting my water in... and keeping me away from the snack table.. she's a health nut so she's pretty good at keeping me on track!

have a good day everyone!! And remember when you go to reach for the junk food... MEMORIAL DAY CHALLANGE!!!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks Melissa, it is wonderful. Have them 8's on today!!!

I never got the message, don't know what is up with that. Oh, like you I have been doing all good with my food and working out the past 3 day, got on the scales this AM and it was up .5 lbs. Oh well, just telling myself I am building muscles.

Laura

Count me in for the MEMORIAL DAY CHALLENGE! May 31st will be my one year band anniversary, already, can't believe it. I need a push also. help!

Ahhhh, restriction.

4cc in my band, and I can feel the welcome pressure again. Better yet, doc has cleared me to start weight lifting again. Time to move the metal and move the number.

Go Manatee Go!!!

Well this restriction might as well not exist. :tongue_smilie: We all remember that "first fill" excitement and then letdown. Doesn't change the second time through....

Still, stepping up the workout should help
