March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD

[SpecialK 22]

I don't know what a neti pot is either???

Tess415 -- look at the scale once a week and give yourself a break. You know the program-- you will lose those 2 lbs or 5 lbs or whatever it is once this holiday insanity passes so just give yourself a Get Out of Jail Free card now.

Tess---hang in there!! This is a hard time of year. Let's hang in and help each other get through.

Lynn---a bug? I've got SUCH a head cold right now and it just won't quit. Started with blocked ears for a few days. Does that sound like what is going around in your office?

That sounds about what is going around the office here, today 3 out of 5 staff members are out sick :blushing:

So the 2 left are working out A$$ off....

Little time to think about eating, just phones and work...

I do find when I am really busy I do not think about eating, which is bad and good. I do not get in all my Protein and that is not good!!!

I have found a new love --- Kettle Corn. My cousin makes and sells The best darn kettle corn. (That's really the name of it) I am hooked on the cinnamon sugar. She sent my mother several types. I bet I will gain 5 pounds in the morning.

I was wondering whether, to keep ourselves honest, we should all agree to get on the scales on teh same day. Like have an Official March Bandsters weigh-in day, say, every Monday or Friday. And we could bully those who haven't posted that they've climbed onto the Platform of Truth, make them face their truth...

It's a great idea, particularly because *I* shall be exempt until the end of the month...

But seriously, I do think it's a pretty good idea.

Thoughts?

Great idea!! I have avoided the scale for the past few weeks. Last time I was on it I had gained just over 2#. Afraid to see where I am now. I don't think I have gained anymore, and do feel I have lost, but cannot face it!!

HELP!!

I am going to force myself to get onit Friday morning, that is my usual weigh in day..

Sounds good to me.....Fridays?

Just have to share a little no calorie Christmas cheer......I loved this video so much that I bought their CD, it's awesome!

ENJOY!

Neti pots rock! I went in for a fill yesterday and my doctor couldn't hit the port. Waiting for them to make an appointment to do it under flouroscopy.. ugh! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one on a plateau

Hello dear March Bandsters... I have been away from LBT for months now and thought I would stop by to say hello and I hope all of you are doing well.

I have been very happy with my lapband experiences (through all the ups and downs and happy to report mostly ups). I am down 88 lbs and still have a ways to go, but feeling like I have this in the bag (or band!) :smile2:

Wishing you all very happy holidays!

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share this little success, since I know that you would understand. I just realized that looking at my BMI I would no longer qualify for surgery under my insurance. :shades_smile:

Fenton: I like your idea of having everyone weigh on the same day. :confused: Great idea.

[Tess415 1]

Count me in... Let's pick an official report in day!!!!! I suggest posting a starting weight by Friday... what do ya think? We can put all of ours on one post like before.

I need to know what is a neti pot?

[SugarBean 0]

Now that I have finished the last of the kettlecorn. Friday seems like a good day to post our weights.

BTW Tess - I had to google a neti pot myself.

Neti pot for sinus health

Looks gross to me.

Friday's good for me as a weigh in day. I usually use Saturday but Friday works for me too.

[Tess415 1]

Sugar- thanks for the utube info on the neti pot. OMG! I don't think I could do that... My son had sinus surgery a few years ago and I had to make a saline solution and irrigate his nostrils with a Water pick... I guess this would've been more gentle!!!!

My brother is in town from Tennessee, and staying with us. He brought up some backwoods authentic moonshine in a mason jar!!! I officially had my first ever taste of it...WOW...it will warm you up quick. Didn't have too much, I felt my liver jump a little after I tried it! LOL!!! :shades_smile:
