I DID IT!!!!(warning...shameless joy inside!!!)
I went out to dinner with my friend and ordered the key west shrimp (I was at TGIFs). It came with two skewers of shrimp (12 in total) and steamed broccoli....I ate 6 shrimp, some broccoli and sipped some water (I know that is bad...but I had that plate in front of me for a long time and it helped me from eating it!!!)

And I was satisfied and happy and feel GREAT about myself.

Then I went to Walmart and bought new underunders (as my daughter calls panties) and some work out clothing... I start at the Y next week...met with a personal trainer yesterday and have my workout..

Friends, I am thrilled...36lbs in 5 weeks...I love this!!!!

Just thought I would share!

Rain

Good for you.

Restaurant eating is always a challenge for me. The shrimp went down OK? I thought shrimp would be hard to eat with the band?

I have been sticking with salads pretty much..Chicken is definitely a no-no.

Thanks for the tip.

Rainer, I am so happy for you!! It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? To have control over that plate in front of you and to walk out feeing victorious, not deprived. Congratulations on the new underunders!!

Rain-
Great job you should be proud of yourself! Feeling good about yourself and your progress will take you a long ways towards your goal.

It's also wonderful that exercise is going to be an important part of you WL future. You'll find the exercise really helps keep you on track as well as making your body tone up fast.

Anyway-thats been my experience.

Keep It Up!!!:clap2:
