Because of the pain I've been experiencing in my left leg and ankle, I haven't been walking since Sunday. I need to get a medical opinion before I hurt myself even worse. Last night, I had some time to kill so I was walking around the mall a bit. I don't think I even walked a mile and my leg and ankle were hurting, very sharp pain in two particular spots. The more I research, the more I'm afraid I have two stress fractures. I'm going to see a doctor Friday, since I have off work. I'm so upset that because I pushed myself to exercise more and harder just that ONE day, I may possibly have to avoid my walks for a month or two. I'm really hoping it's not stress fractures, because I enjoy my walks and I want to get the most out of the nice weather (even though it's still raining most days of the week lately). Plus, we're going to a convention in a few weeks and I'll be walking all day long.
Which brings me to my next topic: goals. I had set a goal to get under 400 by this convention coming up in 2 weeks. I haven't weighed myself in a week and a half, and when I did last, I was 409. I was also hoping to be under 400 by my appointment with my surgeon Tuesday, but that goal was based on my 9 pound loss right after my fill. I don't know if I'll make it to my goal in 2 weeks. I really have to dedicate myself to this or I won't lose weight. I'm too happy with eating and being full that it's hard for me to say no to myself. Especially if I get a bad diagnosis Friday, I'm going to have to concentrate on my eating and cut my portions. I can't rely on my band to do that since I still haven't found lasting restriction.
HOLY MOLY!! I miss you all!!!!

i am seeing more and more that some people have great success with the band some have mediocre success but more have little success. dare i say i would have had a bypass had i to do it all over again. but we must keep plugging along with our bands. try to do any exercise that you can. on cable tv they show a woman exercising in a chair. thats for people who are invalids. but maybe until your leg is better you could exercise like that.
