Morning gals! I was in WoW heaven last night lol...

Besides all this chat about long haired stud muffins was giving me an episode!
I was gonna derail the thread and post pics of Beiron Andersson etc (smouldering hot & messy hair) I'm sure I wold have got some very frowny faces off Dean for that!

ANYWAY!!
I didn't lose any weight this week as predicted. I am soooooo annoyed as I need to lose more...been hovvering around this weight for so long now :(

Anyway, just have to keep regrouping and tweaking the plan O action until we see some results!

Candy I have replied to you on your diary hun , but I think 6 weeks after op is the sort of time scale for first fill.

Hope everyone is doing good and looking forward to a nice weekend...

Hey Mazza....

Not much been doing house work this morning and likely more house work later....and some baking with my kids.

Tomorrow my son has a birthday party....so that is 2 hours of my life I will never get back....*LOL*....then the normal stuff you do of an evening.;)

So yours sounds much like mine....I would love to go swimming, but the though of my shall we say " HOUR GLASS FIGURE" (which just happens to hold a bit more sand *LOL*) in a swim suit scares me...let alone the people subjected to it. So I will hold off at least till I lost 2-3 more stone then I will go with the kids. My eldest is talking swim lessons so i do want to take him to practice.
 
Neen, that guy...OMG!!! I am drooling as we speak.....I never heard of him....but I can assure you ....in my dreams I will be screaming out his name!!!!*LOL* He is uber hot!!!That has made my day.......;)
 
Neen,

Sorry you didn't lose this week....maybe you just need to tweak a few things to kick start stuff off.....but at least you didn't gain and you can show you can maintain...so that is a plus.:p
 
Had my appointment at 9am. Just come back from a spin class and had some lunch.

Got weighed; I weighed in at 132Kgs a loss of 2Kgs in 3 weeks. I'm totally gutted. I'm fed up. Just want to give up now. A waste of money, time, pain and discomfort. :cry:

October 10th marks 6 months post op for me ... and I've lost 7Kgs since my operation. I'm a complete and utter failure. So disillusioned and fed up.

Also forgot to mention - I wasn't given a fill. So I'm still at 7.7mls in my band.

:D
Now we are primed with such a big double helping of lean beefcake maybe it will help us avoid foodie temptations this weekend a bit... :D

Mazza , aside from trying to corrupt everyone with bare male flesh and unruly manes....(desparate measures are usually called for in the fight against the flab though...so I am claiming this is on topic!)

Yeah aside from that....
I am just going to up the exercise and swap my little pud to fruit this week.
I had a wobbly moment midweek and kind of gave in to comfort eating a bit.
Going to have to just keep trying, it is rare for me to lose every week so I guess as long as I don't gain from this week on...at some point I will make a bit of progress.
I am a bit disappointed though :S

Come on hun xxx
I know you feel crappy but we had the idea this week about cutting back on the exercise a bit and we have a calorie level to try for.
Why don't you see how you get on this week following the ideas we have thrown around?

Please don't worry because we will keep trying every week til we find a solution and something that works,..
I have been stuck for ages and I try every week to just make adjustments to what I'm doing.

Our bodies get used to a pattern really quickly, wether it be food or exercise or both...and because of our histories of yo-yoing up and down...I think our bodies lock on and it takes time for the brain to realise we are not in a binge starve cycle any more.

Hun, look don't worry. You know you are working hard and trying. That is all you can do Have you not thought that maybe you are gaining muscle? From all the exercise you are doing you are going to burning the fat and creating muscle, which we all knows weights more than fat. I am sure if you were able to have a body fat analyses you would see that change. It's not just about losing weight it is about being healthier. I know it can be very frustrating when you feel your trying your best and not much is happening, but something is happening....if you are making sure that you are making the healthy choices you need too and are drinking enough water to help you, then maybe that will help.

It has been proven that we burn 3% more calories by keep hydrated, and with all the exercise you are doing maybe you aren't getting enough?

Chin up hun, it took us a long time to put it on, and it will take time to get t back off.


SO why didn't they give you a fill?:hug99:

Neen, you little minx.....he is over drool worthy!! you have the same taste in men as I do......!! *LOL* He is super lush!!!


CC- i was thinking you may need to cut back a bit on the exercise too....just do your hour everyday....or 45 minutes.....
 
cc..... 2 kilos in 3 weeks is really not bad at all .. if you did carry on losing at that pace thats 1 stone 4 1b every 12 weeks which in a year is is 5 stone 2 1b which would make you 15 stone 9 ... by this time next year and you was very happy around that weight before .. now i know its taking time , and yes your first 6 monthes loss was crapolo , the last 3 weeks weigh in is really not to bad .. and losing it slowly is so much better for you ... and better for loose skin ect,,,,

cc also muscle weighs twice as much as fat and you are spending lots of time in the gym .


please stay positive okxxx
 
cc I know how p**sed off you must feel I have been there lately myself with lack of weight loss........I lost for the first 3 weeks and nothing for the next 12, BUT and I must emphasize BUT one thing you must not lose is HOPE.....I know its very difficult when u hear of ppl losing weight willy nilly and not doing no exercise etc ( Well I know it gets my goat up) and yet here we are is doing the exercise eating the right things and nowt is happening.....Can I ask why you wasnt given a fill??? How much have you got in your band atm (soz I dont know wot band size you have)..........Please , please do not give up hope once you give up hope you have nothing and you will be fighting a losing battle fullstop, It will all come right in the end. I look forward to finding out why a fill wasnt offered and what size band and how many mils you have atm.

Sending lots of hugs and kisses - MeJulie xx
 
Hi everyone,

Great work keeping the thread going, I am still reading. Thanks for mentioning us all Neen, it makes you feel part of it. Im much better this week thank you. No more wind pain thankfully and starting to do some light excersize, swimming etc. Made a massive mistake last night though. Had a couple of glasses of wine followed by a veggie curry from the curry house. Mushed it up with a fork so consistency was fine but it really upset my tummy. Was up half the night with tummy pains. Not in the band area though thankfully. I think you have to live and learn dont you. I definatly ate twice as much as I would normally because I had had some wine.

I think you just have to live and learn dont you. Wont be doing that again in a hurry anyway. he he.
 
neen,

After talking about all the long hair male bimbos i went back and started to go through all my nostalgic musical past......it was scarey......

I am talking, Montley crue, Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, Warrant, Skid row, Pantera, Guns N Roses, Lita Ford, Bon Jovi, Europe, whitesnake, metallica, Iron Maiden, the cult......and others...it was weird....
 
hey guys,

I was thinking about buying the rosemary Conley portion cups, just to help me make sure I am not over portioning myself....do you think it would be a good idea or should I not waste the money since after the surgery I am going to be able to eat much anyway?
