Recommended Posts

Not a bad weekend. Has started snowing here and will probably be inside for a few days. They are calling for up to 12" in my area. We haven't had a good snow this season. Hoping I can be good with my eating while being suck inside.

How is everyone doing?

Are you ok? We are going down to -1 tonight. The kids have been out of school all week from the snow. Monday was a holiday though. Doing pretty good here. Snacking is becoming less and less. Still drinking my Water, but that exercising thing hasn't made it's way back into my schedule. I really need to work it in. My hubby and I have the possibility of a vacation and it will require a lot of walking/hiking. I need to get myself in shape.

I know Ilene is on the boat :) How is everyone else doing? Got back down a size in my pants! I was happy girl. One month to go to reach my first goal of 15-20 lbs gone. Looking more to be 15, but that is okay.

Would you guys mind another person?

I was banded 11/09. And got too 143 at my lowest. Two years ago my husband also lost his job. It has been a tough road. He is back at work but is now home every night (ugh). It's no secret he has not supported me on this journey. Now with him home, he sabotages me every chance he gets. From the crap food we eat (out mostly because it's only the two of us at home now). To the snack that he buys. I use to go to the gym after work, but now he wants me to come home "and be with him". This is just his way of keeping me from going. In turn I am now at 160. Which I know is not bad but I felt so much better in the 140ies.

So for the first time in two years Wednesday I went to the dr and got a 1cc unfill. I was way too tight and struggled with eating everything. I feel so much better. I have even lost 2lbs already.

I really need the help and would appreciate your support

Thanks Chris

Welcome home Ilene! Sounds like you did great. Way to go.

Hi Chris. We would love to have you join us. I'm so sorry your hubby is not supporting you. I wish I had some wise words of wisdom for you. Try working one day of the gym back in and slowly increase over time. A thought.

I try to check in a few times a week. More if I need a kick ????

Here is to a new week!

Hello and thanks for the welcome back. Welcome to our new partner on our struggle. I am just doing the best I can. Yesterday, I got a phone call stating that my apt for a small fill would be canceled. The drs off said that they do not accept my ins. I am now faced with finding another doc. :(.

I agree with one step at a time, we have been walking at 5:am. And I still sleep poorly. But I honestly do the best that I can. Ok ok, I ate a whole bunch of pistachios yesterday. I'm the bed room while watching tv. Bad me. And at 8:00 pm, I was eating yogurt with a nice scoop of Peanut Butter on it. Luckily my weight is just at a stand still now.

I don't have any advise to give right now. But am happy to be part of you all.

I will be going to New York for my 67 bday, on my bday. Just for a week. I do have some winter clothes and a jacket. I will be seeing my son and daughter in law who live in Taiwan. Maybe for 1 day. My stress has been escalating everyday, with the help of my 45 year old daughter. I need some people in my life that are kind and less of her. .....any idea how I can find a dr to help with with fills. ? One wanted $500.00 just be go there. Well let's keep up a possitive attitude to each other. And ourselves . Hugs and have a fantastic day.

Ps, re fitbit. I like mine, it is the one. Go to fitbit.com . I would rather have the new one that cost $129.00. But on my vacation I visited both the coach and dooney and Burke outlet stores so I cant. But that's the one I like.

Also if you NEED to check your sleep , it would be good for you.

I have the fitbit flex I like that but I think they are all good . Syncs with my fitness pal too . I don't use it for sleep since u sleep well and the bravelet annoys me at night .

I haven't been doing great but still holding strong and not giving up . My daughter is home from school so having some treats . Next week back to the basics shakes and exercise .

Good luck everyone we can do this!'

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
