Happy New years to everyone.

I haven't been on here for a while, because I haven't been doing that great with my program. :cursing::thumbup: I did get my first fill 12/10 and I feel restriction and can only eat a little at any one time. But because the food has been more readily available I tend to pick. Therefore, I haven't lost any more weight since my fill.:thumbup: I also still need to start my excercise program.

I feel very distracted and can't keep my mind on a good eating program. I have decided that I should write down everything I eat, so I can be more focused. Has that helped anyone else?

I hate to go back to the doctor and not have lost any weight in a month. I'm planning to go on mushies again to see if that helps. I don't want to fail.:thumbup:

My diabetes is under better control, which is a positive. I just hope that the weight will continue to drop off and I will have a leaner, healthier and sexier 2009.:tt2:

One thing I must say is that if Ms Oprah can't keep her weight under control with all her money, power and access to everything, then I won't beat myself up about my preceived failure.:thumbup::tongue2:

Happy new year to you! Don't even think failure at this point. This is supposed to be a marathon. You are supposed to lose weight slowly. The holiday season is over so you should get rid of any that food around the house. Just start fresh. It took years for us to build our bad habits. Getting rid of them won't be overnight. Cut yourself some slack. Track your food. That does seem to help keep me honest with myself (even when I am screwing up). You have your diabeties under control. I think that is awesome! We have to celebrate those small victories. They add up. You are on the right path. We are all going to get swayed every once in a while. You are human. Just get up and dust yourself off. We have these bands for life. Continued success to you!

Hey girl...

It's time to be fine in 09 !!!

Slim is right... let it go... dust it off and keep it movin. I have not had a fill in two almost three months and still going up and down with three to four pounds. That is frustrating but I know I will never be 304 pounds again.

We are in this thing together!!

Travel Lady you have lost weight that is wonderful! I like your mindset its just time to refocus and set some small goals. When I did WW I tracked everything and that helped me a lot. If you rather do it on line try the daily plate.com its very handy. I actually rejoined WW and plan to keep going the mental stuff is the hard part. There is a co-worker who just told me she was 280 pounds 15 years ago and did a 12 step program to help get it off and keep it off and its a battle everyday. So there are resources out there to help you as well! Please join our 30 day exercise thread!!!

Hey Ladies:

Thanks for your responses, it is a new year and I am just going to make a new start.

I will also look for that 30min excercise thread, that's something that may really help me.
