Okay, guys, this it is!

No excuses, no whining, let's just make it happen!

We know how to make this band work for us and 2015 will be our year!

I finished the day pretty much on track. Had liquids all day and then had dinner with the family. Had a pot pie and mashed taters. I hit the e kill for 10 minutes...(start back slow)... I have meals prepared for tomorrow. Mushies and protein!! glad we are getting back to it!

I completely eliminated alcohol almost three weeks ago. It hasn't affected my weight yet but I feel better about my choice. I made a fill appointment today with my NP for next Tuesday.

I did join the Divorce Care group and tonight is the third session. It does help, so far.

My second wedding anniversary after moving out is coming up next week as well. Seems like my life is in a holding pattern. Can't lose the weight I want, can't complete the divorce. There must be a lesson in here somewhere.

Anyway.

This next fill is going to be tricky. I get stuck more often these days, but my hunger has been coming back after three hours. It used to be 4 or 5 hours between hunger pangs. I sure hope I don't go too tight and mess things up.

I've been wearing the same size clothes for a year. I guess that's a good thing, right? I just wish the clothes were a couple of sizes smaller.

I slept all night and no issues with food or acid stomach. Just thinking life is back to normal. Daughter in law messaged and our young 3 year old grand daughter has a brain tumor and cyst recurring. Today she had and MRI and it is back but small. She had this removed in March. I can only trust and obey God at this time. I have no other words. Keep us in your prayers. I am not keeping dinner down at all this evening. Stress is not my friend.......

Punkinvine, praying here.

@@punkinvine Praying for you and your family.

Good Morning... today is house cleaning day. I have begun the getting rid of phase this week. LOL Life has a way of changing and so do the importance of things! I have tons of card making /crafty items. Still in wrappers of course. I had visions of time spent making delightful cards. With 4 grand kids (3 and under) I have no idea what I was thinking.Maybe I was thinking our boys would be single forever. Blessings on us they married in their mid 30's. Now I have a Thomas Train Table with all the parts. Geo Track and a Kitchen set designed for toddlers in my sun room. Love every min. of it. The craft things need to be packed up. This is just how the weight loss has changed me too. Not very interested in sitting. I love to do things and move and just keep busy swinging and chasing little ones. Thanks be to God for all the blessings! I am at 136 lb today. Feeling like doing things and making plans! Bye bye arthritis!

Praying for ALL of you to have success in that body of YOURS too!

Good morning!!

@@punkinvine - praying for your family. Like you, I like to spend my day moving around. Being home now (staying home after 17 years of teaching) affords me time and opportunity for new projects. The new house has plenty of potential there!

I'm off to volunteer at a local assisted living facility. I spend Wednesday mornings playing bingo or cooking with the residents. It's fun!

Hope all of you have a peaceful happy day. Take care of you.

Just checking in. I am on break in Tipp city OH. I packed up a bunch if easy to eat protein items. Have only had a couple sausage patties. That is the only hunger I have had today. Trying to get back to the basics(not that there is any other CORRECT way). Eating only when hungry and eating slow. Walking while unloading today. Hope all y'all are rockin it!

Today went pretty good. I was on target all day. I had a bigger dinner than I should have. My bride made my favorite sweet treat for desert. I had a portion. Need to hit the e-kill. Off work tomorrow!!! Heading to pumpkin patch and watching the combines with the boys!

How fun tomorrow will be!!! Enjoy the family time, @bacon.

Hello all! @@punkinvine I am praying for your family!

@@bacon so glad to see you planning and working this thing!

My days have been pretty good. Chicken salad for lunch and 1/2 a burger for dinner

Heading camping this evening! Long weekend with the hubs. Trailer is loaded and ready just need to get this work day over with! Prob won't check in much til Tuesday so yall keep up the good work!

❤️️ya!

Today has been really good. I was up at 04:30. I decided to go for a walk. 3.5 miles! It was not planned for that far but well into it, I got thirsty and did not bring Water. The only thing opened in my little town was the mini-mart. The cooler door is exactly 1.75mi from my front door. So I guess it is a good course to train for 5k! I think I need to really need to get back to the basics. I guess I forget that I am a bariatric patient after time. WE do have special needs for our eating. I would love to hear if anyone else just flat out forget and start eating fast and big bites. I may start a thread on this topic.

Eating today has been good. Let's hear from you peeps!

@@bacon - yes...eating too fast, eating foods that should make me stuck, etc. It's an addiction for me, illness, plain & simple.

Kudos on that walk!!!

@@2babutterfly - have fun, girlie!!

We had reservations in Myrtle Beach for the next five days. I just called and canceled due to this hurricane situation. Can you guys feel me pouting??

My sister said the same thing. She said when you live in the mountains and vacation at the beach, you get ZIP for sympathy. Can't blame a girl for trying...
