Hi Everyone! My sister and I are trying to come up with some really cool ideas for Thanksgiving. In the past we have always had Thanksgiving at our Mothers house and it is just getting to much for her to do. My sister is going to start having it at her house and we are needing help to make it fun. Does anyone have any ideas how to start making fun Thanksgiving traditions that we can start doing every year. We want our Thanksgivings a time for Family and lord knows our family needs help with that..... ANY ideas will be great! Thanks Carrie

Good Morning Everyone!!!! I am happy to report I am down from 190 to 186.4. This is a total of 6 pounds in two weeks for me. It is such a wonderful feeling after being on a platuea for SO long! I guess everyone is right, keep on doing what you are doing and it will break! Revy congrats on your 3.5 this week that is AWESOME! Angie, You are very welcome! I think you are doing an AMAZING job and look at you ALREADY in the 230's.. WOO HOO for you girl! I am SO proud of you! Keep that WONDERFUL attitude you have and LIVE LIFE!! We so deserve it! Carrie

Angie I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new pic! SOOO CUTE! Carrie

Cherie, I just got off a 5 week plateau that drove me CRAZY!! I agree with Sabrina and others as well. I do think you have to eat very little. I have totally cut out snacks and only eat three times a day. I think changing things up is a good idea as well. Keep that food journel and the truth of the matter is (for me anyway) you have to eat health, really watch and not eat the foods that got you heavy in the first place. I thought when i got my band I was going to be able to eat what I wanted just little portions, was I wrong, maybe this works for some, but not for me. I did email Dr. Miranda about my platuea and she stated with me getting down close to goal that Exercise was going to HAVE to be my best friend. She told me weights 3x per week and walk 5 miles 3 x per week. As far as the diet, well it is just that, a diet. Try liquid yogurt for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner 3 oz of white meat, baked or grilled with green veggies and a peice of fruit (apples, peachs were suggest from Dr Miranda) and drink green tea once a day. Another thing that I have had a time with is my water intake. I HATE water and this has always been a struggle for me. Try drinking lots of it. I have also stopped weighing all the time, once a week for me now. I am trying to just live and not worry about this as it has always been something that has always consumed my life. It is our time to LIVE. 20lbs is GREAT! Good Luck to you! Carrie
