I am proud I went to heath club twice this week so far and loving the good workouts I am getting in! DVDs can't replace a good gym workout!
Topic: RE: 221.8
SHER RRIE! How are ya darlin'!
Yea yea yea... we all need to be accountable. I need to be here all the time instead of coming when I'm at wits end.
I'm in limbo. After I hit 221.8... in two days it was back up to 226.. This morning it was 222 and David is NOW doing the low carb with me. I'm eating probably 1/2 of what he eats and he's losing, I'm stuck.
I don't think it's fair that just because a certain group of people have a dooder that they should lose easier than women do. It's not fair.. I don't like it.. and there's no one to complain to about it. I HATE the fact that men think "Oh.. well.. you must be eating more".. NOOOOOOOOO I'm NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.. but YOU have a dooder.. I DON'T! pffffffffffffffffffft hhahahahhaha
Be Blessed Sherrie!

i will be joing ww next wednesday, there's one leader that i really like and she's on wednesday, but i have to wait until next week because i had already paid the hospital, which maxed out my cc, so now i have to wait until they get the money back to me, or payday, whichever comes first!!
portion control has always been my problem, and because i get to eat real food, that's why i like ww so much. have you joined yet? we should post on our weigh in days!!

I am celebrating being back under 210. I hung out around 216 for a month and it was tough to get back into the game. This morning I'm 208.3, and that gives me hope and impetus to continue. I have to figure out some kind of reward for getting back under 200. That's exciting!
I am proud of the fact that I have stuck to an eating plan that is healthy for me and that my body is responding to. I am proud that I am finding alternates to the carbage that I often crave. I am proud that I am trying new recipes and forming new habits.
And I am thankful for this board and the reminder to focus on the positives. :)

I'm proud that I resisted temptation today and stuck to my eating plan. It was a real struggle but I had a mental battle with myself and told myself that I would just have to do without the food that I was craving. I remembered what Yoda said "do or do not, there is no try" so it's either I'm going to do this or I'm not and I have to make the decision. I also took the stairs instead of the elevator today, boy was I out of breath!! Took me a while to recover but I'm still alive.

Hi A!
Welcome!
I can share your journey a little. I had the LapBand installed in 2007, and had it removed November 2009. I lost *no weight* with proper band inflation, and had TONS of regurgitation even when all saline was taken out of my band. I did self-pay to put it in (HUGE waste of $$$), but by the Grace of God, my insurance company paid 100% to have it removed. I am so curious to read what the *actual* success rate/fail rate of the band actually is. But it's water under the bridge for me.
So in December 09 I started a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) and it's been a blessing for me. I'm over half-way to goal, and feel GOOD about myself for the first time in years.
I hope you find your way to inner peace, too, A! I'll be cheering for you!
Best Wishes!
