I just had the lap band surgery last month on Feb. 25th. It is an overnight stay at the hospital and off work for a week. I didn't know that they don't actually fill the band until a month after they put it in. They put the band on and then let the stomache heal and make sure there is no leakage or problems before they…

I'm looking to lose over 100 pounds...long way to go....Add me if you'd like!:drinker: Stacey

LOL, You ladies are killing me! I am on a 1700 calorie a day diet and RARELY stay at that amount, I'm always over!!! I'm a very picky eater so it's hard to find "good" things to fill me up and stay at my goal. I wish I had your guys problem! Good luck! Stacey

I actually get off work early tonight at 6pm!!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!! Stacey

This recipe comes from a cookbook called homestyle meals made heathy. I just bought it and haven't had a chance to make anything yet, but here's the recipe it has for chicken noodle soup. Chicken Noodle Soup 1/2 tbsp butter 1/2 onion finely chopped 1 rib celery finely chopped 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast…

I've been on the depo shot for almost 10 years now. I've had a couple doctors say only about 8 pounds a year could be contributed weight gain from the shot. I am horrible when it come to remembering taking pills so the shot works great for me, plus the benefit of no monthly visitor. If there is some weight gain due to the…

I'm in! I'm looking for Mr. Right and a ring on my finger! hahaha Stacey

I sit at a desk all week myself. I however do not like fruits and veggies so finding a snack that doesn't add up in calories is hard. My stand by is animals crackers..16 crackers at 120 calories or beef jerky. They have turkey jerky which is lower in calories but is more salty tasting I think. The chicken teriyaki nuggets…

Funny you brought this topic up at this time. Just last night at work the girl who sits in the desk next to me made a comment about my eating habits. She said everytime you start stressing out or get fraustrated you go get something to eat. Pretty sad when co-workers notice how much I rely on food. Good luck to everyone!…

I do and just countthe 5 calories that come along with it. I HATE drinking water and it takes all I got to drink 32oz of it a day....so I have to have some crystal light in it! lol Stacey

Heidi If you could send me that too, I would appreciate it! sourmugmama@yahoo.com Thanks! Stacey

I just logged back in today after slacking for the last two weeks...in those two weeks I've gained 5 pounds back....I see how important it is to keep track of everything. Plus I hadn't been on my treadmill that whole time either. Hang in there and good luck! Stacey

Me too! lol

When I worked 3rd shift it worked out great to go to the gym at 7:30am with only about 5 people in there but then my schedule changed and I hated going when everyone else was in there, I to compare myself to all the skinny, in shape girls in there and the guys checking them out. So I stopped going. I found a treadmill at…

I had lost 123 pounds a few years ago and went down a cup size and sadly, gained the weight back and some of my chest came back but not all of it. It's the first thing that goes on me.

I'll try anything! Thanks!

Thank you guys!!! Stacey

I have problems drinking all the water I "need" each day. I am a tea drinker and can drink it all day long, but with starting the diet I have given up my sweet tea to once a week and trying to drink water. Even with putting crystal light flavors in the water, it's still a struggle. I can normally force myself to drink…

Foley, Missouri It's been in the mid 80's lately

what is the website link?

I have the same problem. I've been limiting my social engagements with friends just so I won't be tempted to drink and eat with them.....

Hey all I am 33, 5'6 and currently weigh 276.6 pounds. I've lost 31 pounds so far since June and looking to lose a total of 158 pounds. Long way to gooooo. Dieting is hard for me since I'm a real picky eater, don't really like fruits and veggies, forcing myself to eat lettuce for salads and HATE drinking water. Even with…

I'm going to try this but I hate drinking water. I'm supposed to drink 70 ounces a day according to the link. Even if adding crystal light on the go packets to bottled water still isn't enough. Good luck to everyone! goal weight~150 pounds current weight~276

Are you on the HCG diet? Thats the only diet I know where people do 500 or less....
