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...

Have you looked at bodybug or someother way to track your calories burned?

I just know that I'll eat uncontrolled if I don't put more in my mouth controlled...Like I'll wake up in the night and raid the refrigerator...I joke I'll eat my pillow. I just MUST eat.

However, if I eat a little more before and after and later in the day I'm fine.

Google, you google master, about training and carb loading or crashing if you don't eat enough. Maybe having the facts in front of you will make it easier.

And the exercise isn't just for nothing. You are doing more than burning calories. You are building endurnace and strength. You are manufacturing new cell growth, etc.

Also, you felt like shit last night and you know why.

Okay stepping down from the lecture stand.

I just notice that you have less than 50 pounds to go. WOO HOO

Juli I know all that it is just really hard to tell my head that that is the way it works. My head just keeps thinking eat less workout more while my brain is telling me I need to eat more if I am working out. If that makes any sense at all lol. I just have this internal struggle going on right now and it sucks. I don't know why all of a sudden it is kicking in so much, but I am assuming it is because I am getting so close to 199. I just hope my mind chills out once I reach that point.

I do want a bodybugg pretty badly but I can't justify the cost. All my spare money is going into the bike fund right now. If I could just win the damn lotto.

Where the hell is everyone today?

I HAVE BEEN ON AND OFF TODAY.......JUST LISTENING TO YOUR CONVERSATION......

WENT SIGHTSEEING AFTER CLASS TODAY had the top down in between the rain....it was amazing...music blaring...lol

felt like i was 17 again....

Howdy all. I am sure you are all in bed, except maybe JC, being that it is 9 pm here. But I wanted to say hello and let you know I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I am thinking I will ask for a small fill maybe a 1 cc fill. Then I will be at 6cc's. I don't know what to do. I am restricted at times and get stuck on everything and then at other times I am not restricted at all. It is strange and confusing and all that. J, the shirt is a boob fest.

Oh, and guess what? I bought my first pair EVER of thong panties. I think they look ridiculous but love the way they feel with jeans on. LOL....I know BG wears them, I am getting a lot of loose skin in the stomach area and hate the way it looks. I am having a hell of a time getting any exercise in, I did do the jogging program today and I love the way it makes me feel, AFTER THE FACT.....really hate it while I am doing it though!!!

I hate the drama of eigth grade. HATE IT!!!

D I don't wear em for the looks I wear em for the comfort. I heart thongs and hate eighth grade drama too.

good morning everyone

where is JC?????????? I sure do miss hearing from you.

I cant wait to buy a pair of thongs...LOL I have a bit before that happens.

I went swimming last night...and I had met a girl from NM...she went as well. It is something being able to swim at 9pm and it not be freezing. The hot tub was glorious.

Have class this morning.....cant believe that today is a holiday, I am working and getting paid for the holiday...WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

I was home but I was a bit distracted! :-)

Uh oh JC had the Amish bitches over last night.

Hi all

You can keep the thongs. I have a few but I can't seem to get comfortable with them. It's not the ass part but the lack of coverage over giant belly part.

I've actually taken to wearing little box/boy cut panties which I love.

BG, you've inspired me to try running 20 pounds early. I'm going to buy running shoes next week. I need something to get me moving in the right direction again. I seem to be standing still.

But my restriciton is like D's. Some days I can eat the contents of the refrigerator other days I struggle on oatmeal. Ugh.

Oh, so my blood work says my DHL cholestoral is low as is my B-12. Apparently I'm not eating enough red meat. My protein is always high, but now I need change things up. Any thoughts?

BG, you just don't know how close you were with the Amish comment!

J, I am sure you know this but I am going to mention it, you can amp up your protien values without the fats by visiting the legume family. The other thing is the beans make a smoother paste than a meat shake.

Thought I would share this website with everyone.

J, boy boxer shorts. Do you put stomach inside or leave it out. I know that sounds like an awful question, but that is the problem with the thong. Just because the back has no fabric doesn't mean they cant put some on the FRONT!!

JC, were you looking at the bra and panties all night?????

I was doing something D, but I would not really describe it as looking! :-)

JC you are so so bad. You know it is a law to wait until the 14th date to fondle the Amish.
