Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

Cant beleive J just told JC too look at porn...HAHAHAHA

Jc...i know it does suck. i have a VG band as well....and it is weird how some days I feel as I cant eat nothing without that "feeling" and some days it is like anything is sight will go down just fine.

Hang in there.....

I hope you get rid of all the rain before I get down there....Dang!!!

I found 2 rental places...and am really excited!!!

HI D

HI B

Hi everyone else lurking out there....

I found 2 rental places...and am really excited!!!

I swear I thought that said rectal the first time I read it.

BG,

Get ass off the brain.

I'm really surprised at how much I want to eat the carbs. Bastards. You'd think I was a fast food junky the way I'm craving them.

I am being good though. I have to go to the grocery tonight, to get food in the house to feed the child....

She asked to bake brownies this weekend. We will and she'll get to keep two, the rest will have to go to the neighbors, because it's too hard to have them in the house even if I keep them frozen deep in the freezer...

Juli I swear it gets better after like 5 days. The craving stops. You can do it. Carbs are like crack, hard to get off of.

I said "get off" hehehe

JC,

Listen. You are awesome. You KNOW you are awesome. You have accomplished more than most people can accomplish in a LIFETIME in a year. It is NOT your fault your band went haywire. It did and now you are starting again in a new place. That is what I keep telling myself. I am not finding the time and not really even wanting to find the time to exercise all that much. I feel like I am being sucked of the enthusiasm that I once had to do this whole band thing. I laid off myself finally and then lost 1.5 pounds. HOW? I have no idea....I hear ya on the band fickleness though. One day everything is just fine, the next there is not way anything is going down. Did I tell you all that I have one of those big exercise balls that you can do sit ups on and such? It works wonders for stuck food too. Rolling around on top of it somehow helps push stuck food through. Mine costs like 14 dollars and they are like a big hippety hop for adults. HMMMMM WONDER WHAT ELSE I COULD USE IT FOR????

D

The beauty of the band is we can stop for a minute or a week or a month and not fall too far. It will be there when our focus gets back.

You're silly. It's like me, I laugh each time I say Tang. And I'm liking the sugar free Tang again. ugh

Tang as in pootie?

DO you like pumpkin pie and cheesecake? I found this low carb recipe for this pumpkin fluff thing and it tastes like pumpkin pie flavored cheesecake.

Pootie-tang is what makes me giggle.

Fluff does too, only because when I was in England, where "getting some fluff" is the same as "scoring some action" and older lady who's B&B we stayed at told us how she asks all her friends traveling to the states to bring her back a jar of "fluff" and she just laughed and laughed.

Hell yeah, gimme the fluff recipes you got, baby.

You girls are being way silly today!!!

1 can of pumpkin (15-16 oz)

1 brick of cream cheese (8oz)

2 oz heavy whipping cream

1/2 tsp lemon juice

pumpkin pie spice to taste (I don't have this so I just used splenda, allspice, and cinnamon)

beat the cream cheese and whipped cream together until smooth, beat in pumpkin and lemon juice, mix in spices to taste. Tastes best cold.

I love the stuff but the more you eat the less good it tastes. Have a little bowl and you should be fine. Yummmmo

Oh and stool softener is your friend. I crapped out a softball about 30 minutes ago.

Do you have a brownie soup recipe?

No but I have chocolate mousse.

HEavy shipping cream and sugar free hershey syrup.

You all are in rare form today! If I wasn't so damn busy surfing porn..................
