Jeliica

My name is Anjelica so I just use Jeliica as a short version.

Well, I haven't ran in the cold...well ever, but I do workout in the gym, and I use activewear clothing from oldnavy. I wear it sometimes when I'm lazy to change, but it keeps me pretty warm in the winter. Leggings might be to thin and you'll freeze! I know when I'm walking around I wear leggings, and I buy sweats and just…

Lol.

Instead of whip cream and strawberries, I use greek yogurt, that with sweet strawberries are incredibly good! I also mix it in as well.

That's so true. I do weight myself a day and during the morning it says I lost 2 pds and in the evening it says I gain 2 pds. So I just stop doing it. I only change my weight when I go to the doctor and they tell me how much I am.

I was banded almost 2 weeks now. Best decision ever!

Hey everyone! I had my band done September 7, 2011, so I'm a newbie bander! Feel free to add me or accept my friend request please, I love meeting fellow banders, you guys are so inspiring and helpful! Goodluck!

I'm shrinking in secret as well. Only my parents know what I'm doing or what I've done. I find that my family is to negative. They constantly watch what I eat and then they are down my back on why would I eat that, blah blah blah. My mom is being really supportive and dieting with me and cooking really good foods. I love…

We live in a society where everyone is opinionated and they have to get their point across regardless if it's negative or positive. Only you can decide what is right for you and no one should tell you otherwise. Good luck to everyone dieting! Kudos to making that leap of faith and bettering yourself. How you do it, it's…

Oh and you can't really listen to second hand opinion regarding lapband. Before I had mine done I spoke to a couple of people. I heard all these different stories. One lady had a lapband done and she only ate ice cream. She had some excuse that nothing could go down. I asked her why she didn't try yogurt, cottage cheese,…

Actually surgeons do it for bmi of 35 and higher and I have medicaid insurance which covered everything in my surgery (and we know medicaid is pretty bad). Most insurance agencies are actually changing their policies to help people with weight issues to get the help they need.

If there was an "easy way" to dieting, we wouldn't be here now...would we? Oh and with lapband, I take one multivitamin a day and that's all I need. It has all the supplements then when I didn't have the surgery and I was taking 8 different vitamins. Regardless surgery or not you have to take supplements. It's a part of…

I buy vitamin water and drink it because I can't stand the taste of water. If I do drink water I drink water with lemon.

I weigh twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

My mom prepares everything on sunday. She makes enough food for the week so she can come home and heat it up. Then friday night she just buys some food, [she's tiny, so she eats anything, lucky her, lol] But she season chicken and bakes it, she makes soup, pasta, whatever she can for my brother. I'm easier, I just eat soup…

I try and get the pop music with the techno beat added to it so it has more beat to exercising. Like some remixes we hear on the radio. Also if you have radio on you when your working out this website offers some good songs: http://cycle.jog.fm/popular-workout-songs

skinny jeans rotten bananas sky yellow!

I hate that I'm such a wallflower...when really I'm loud and crazy and loveeeeeeeee to have fun!

For the people who said they had friends who gained back the weight with the WLS, first off, how do we gain weight? By eating the wrong foods. You can have a lapband and still cheat. It just something to help you with portion control, you still have to do the work of working out and eating properly. So you personally have…

Nice to meet you! Try as much as possible to log in your food intake and things like that, it's help me a lot to see how much crap I've been putting in my mouth!

Julio Waltham, rofl. I sound like an actually person.

I hope it's my face first, lol. I hate taking pictures with my chin and fat cheeks! Lol, and the arms. I can live with belly fat forever, but arm fat is torture!!

I don't like men who drink or smoke, I think its disgusting and I can't stand the way they behave. One or two drinks occasionally is acceptable. Has a job. Please be able to accept responsibility and support a family. I want children, so a loving father is admirable! Goals. Top priority. A person who is willing to have…

The zumba is ok for wii. I don't like the music selection. I rather go to the one at the gym, they always have up to date beats and its much more motivational!

5'0 and goal weight is 120-150. I'd be content with anything in the early 100s! Lol.

WOW! You look amazing!

Unsweetened Ice Tea has no carbs or calories unless you add stuff to it that has 1g or 5g or sugar. But, there is nothing to it, so if you want the flavor go for it and it has water in it, so it still counts! My nutritionist tells me when I drink a protein shake it has 2 glasses of water, so that counts to my 8 glasses a…

I check restaurant menus online and see if they have healthy options like chicken breast with steam veggies, or fish. And I ask them if they can make it with less oil or butter, etc. Most of the time they are really nice about it and I still get great tasting food!

Thanks. This scale is so weird because in one part of my house it says im 8 pounds lighter and the other part it says im over my normal weight by 4 pounds, so I don't know which is accurate. I havent been in the doctor in awhile to even check what I'm close to.

Hey! Welcome to MFP! My doctors scared me because they thought I had a hole in my heart. So for weeks they had me running around doing numerous testings. Finally, it was a false alarm and I had a healthy heart. Now, I'm just losing the weight so I don't have to deal with this again! Good luck to you!
