      OMG that is great, I don't know that even when I felt that I was skinny (like jr high) that my calves would fit in boots. Congrats!

      I wondered about that. Pad Thai was one of my favorites, but I have thought perhaps all Thai food not that easy anymore.

      Congrats - now up goes your shopping spend! Its funny how when cloths get smaller they also cost more $$!

      Thanks guys..Good thing I wear uniforms..more $$ for cloths...

  5. Even though not really showing on scale...five patients have remarked on my weight loss this past week and a half...I will take it!!!

    1. petrafarmer

      petrafarmer

      That happens to me too. I see that I am smaller when I look in the mirror but the scale doesn't agree. Weird isn't it? While I have to admit that the numbers on the scale are important, I think the way I feel is more important.

      Are you measuring yourself? I wonder if it's inches and not pounds what you're loosing.

  6. Looked at my reflection in the mirror and didn't know who I was looking at! Great feeling.

  7. Wait..What...my habits HAVE changed....and I didn't even notice! The biggest benefit of my band yet! best move ever...

  8. Thanksgiving..and the first as a banded person..ideas, recipes anyone?

    1. B2010

      B2010

      my first thanksgiving too! we'll see how it goes. I always have trouble eating meats so I guess it's gonna be a veggie holiday....but wearing my size 10 jeans - damn I'm happy to do it! :)

      mine too, I"m making a crustless low cal/ fat pumpkin pie, and getting some fat free real whip cream in the can. found the recipe googling low cal pumpkin pie.

      I figure 4 oz roast turkey, 1/2 cup salad, 1/4 cup stuffing - and my 121 cal pie - Oh plus a healthy protien filled breakfast of 250 cals.

  9. So haven't been on in awhile, so many changes in my life. The biggest one is thanks to the band..50 pounds down since March 2010...but even bigger are the new habits!

      EcMjawad1

      Thank you! it's amazing the new habits you form without even knowing it.

  10. still learning....why do I not want to throw out old too large cloths...afraid of failure and ???

    1. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      Throw them out - you're not going to fail and if you have nothing as back up and to go back too - you're most likely succeed. That's what I did, I have never looked back.

      Do it!

      Thanks lisal...Idid it..onward..

  11. New problem..extra skin, and back pain...anyone else?

    1. Bella1980

      Bella1980

      The only thing I can reccomend for back pain is to do exercises that strengthen those muscles.

    2. nothereanymore

      nothereanymore

      I think we start doing more and sometimes our bodies rebel - I started yoga and palates to build more core muscle - Bella is right on. Extra skin - know it - surgery....

  12. Yes, we must exercise too.....

    1. petrafarmer

      petrafarmer

      Oh no! Not the "e" word!
