Vicki Yeah, i was ok with it when I ate 1/2 there, it was finishing it off that made me feel gross. Hope the family feels better! It is all a mind game, all of it. I am convinced of that, the last 30 came off only because I really wanted it with every ounce of me. I know the scale is not moving but I also know I'm gaining muscle and inches, so I'm not going to let the numbers get me down

Hi - Tracy and I were banded at the same time, we met in another thread, but we were neck and neck for a while and then she blew my ass (sorry) out of the Water. She is amazingly strong *you are sister and you know it! Anyway, I am taking this last year as a major learning experience. I no longer think twice about the healthy way to make something, or avoiding bad food. I maintained for over a year, which to me says a lot, but I'm ready to finish this adventure. I have a schedule, when I don't exercise I feel lazy, no matter what crazy project I'm doing. I've changed myself. I have been harassing my dd to slow down and not inhale her food, she lost 10lbs in a month just doing that and she feels better. She was 164lbs but is 5'8" so that was not horrible, but is now 155. We are 20lbs apart and sharing some clothes. I can't wait to squeeze into her size 8's... :thumbup::lol:that is funny stuff... size 8 anyway i guess I'm saying this last leg of the adventure is learning the reality of the situation, life changes not diet. Diet is a horrible word and I don't ever want to be on one again. LETS DO IT GUYS... LETS KICK ASS SO WE CAN START THE NEW YEAR WITH THE NEW US! WE WILL SHOW THEM ALL

Welcome Gloria shoot, I fell asleep for the end... I forgot I'm going to rewind dvr and watch it. I agree, it is all will power, I'm at my last 10lbs for my initial goal, but would love to ultimately be another 25 when I'm done. This is a great group of gals, hope we can help!

Hey all I finally lost a lb yesterday and wouldn't get on the scale this am, went to applebees last night with a friend, had a drink, which ok, that was the good part, had a few chips with spinach dip and a steak and mashed potatoes, ate 1/2 of it there and finished it off when I got home and it was settled in.... I hate reheating food. I suck too, that is bad of me I am going to an appointment then heading to the gym to get some weights in, maybe a walk later, i'm tring to be realistic with exercise, but it is beautiful here today so I'll probably walk

When are you going to make that appointment for your fill? I need one myself! Me.. Me... Me... I've noticed the last month I have shoulder bones and i've never had them, a friend told me I look drawn. I don't think so! :w00t: Feel better and Take care of you! Twetty - I had a bunch of clearances I had to do, and they went quick, I was not in a mentally stable place for surgery so I lost my 10% quickly (mostly water and bloat. lol) required by insurance and my Dr, That was in October, and then my boyfriend got in a horrible Motorcycle accident and I was not in a place to take care of me, infact I fell apart, so waited until April for surgery. So it should go as quickly as you want it to... LOL Find out if you need any medical clearances and start scheduling the appointments now to make sure they don't hold you up! Well, I'm up and going, going to take care of some more business this morning and then head over to the gym for a quick workout. Nothing much going on, other than i need to either get more support (just took a $250 a month cut and it is killing me) or get a job now! I so want to wait until Feb so i can get more certs but I need to do something. I guess I'll get a better idea next week of what is going to happen when I go to court. I'm off...see ya all when I get back

Kat Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love that kind of food have a good day

Tracy good luck with your appt today, I had one yesterday for the same thing. I like quiet mornings too, just do what I have to do... ya' know? I get up 45 mins before anyone so I can have a cup of coffee and wake up

wow you gals were busy this weekend... chatting away Rain - Congrats on the loss and the new clothes Vicki - don't give up, I have not gained but have not lost an ounce in over 3 weeks. I'm being so good, it is frustrating that is all I can say Hope you all have a good day, going to log my food

hello all not much happening, just ate a salad from subway, have not had hot sauce in months, been craving it... OMG, my systems is like what are you putting in my body?????? going to relax for a few and get up and clean. xoxo all

Hey sister (((hugs))) I feel your pain, i lost my get up and go a year ago, maybe it is the new found freedom of trying to find someone to share my life with, and I felt so fat I didn't think anyone could look at me differently than I see myself. I'm not sure. I had a bad week, and I hope that being golden will help me with my last 10lbs, but either way, I have lost another 3" in the past month so I feel good about that, and I'm learning to take a compliment. So I guess I have some motivation. As for veggies, you are missing out girlfriend! I never eat canned or frozen, ok peas maybe but that is it. give me a veggie you like, i'll give you a quick easy way to cook it, love green ones the best! Zuccini, fresh spinach are my favorites, Broccoli I sometimes have a hard time choking down, but love it. Well, I walked 6 miles this morning, feeling good! I forgot i have fasting blood work this morning and guess what, I had 2 cups of coffee:cursing: my reminder just went off, so I'm trying to call and see if i need to cancel.

But it is well worth the journey isn't it???? Yes you will Tracy! You are a strong person and inspire me... lets go girl. I love halloween... we got Dylan's costume too, he is going to be a fireman. simple and I can layer the heck out of him, you never know if it is going to be warm or cold and being on a Sat, will be out at all different times. Suzanne - take care of yourself - (((hugs))) I hear you, I have not felt like doing much myself. Ok well off for my walk and back to healthy eating today, been way out of control the last week. I'll be back to check in later

hey all I'm exhausted, worked all day and then cleaned out the garage and got pool stuff away for the winter. Its going to to rain tonight and all day tomorrow so i had to get some stuff done. just wanted to check in... back to normal this week... i hope

Hello Ladies I will post my photobucket pics from the last year. I have hired a little help, but did a ton myself. I have a beautiful new deck and french doors (I had nothing to do with the doors) a new kitchen, and bathroom I've been doing since July, and I have a laundry room, which I've wanted for 10 years, but I have to finish framing the wall around the washer and dryer and tile under them where I cut the carpet out, but I can close the door so I'll do that when I can. Other than the bathroom, everything else was done on nights and weekends. My house looks totally different in the last year, and I did tons of stuff before that. Ok I'm going to drink some coffee, i have a ton to do today

Tracy how funny, I feel lazy not walking and going to the gym. my body hurts from sitting on the floor all week. Anyway - off to pass out, I'm beat!

Hey all quiet here Laura - please... keep the snow! It is freezing here 20degrees below normal. I am taking a break, the bathroom is tiled and grouted, I have to wash the floor a couple more times but I'm going to cut the holes for th water lines in a few and get the cabinet in. Dad is coming to help with the toilet tomorrow when i call him. Getting ready to clean up a bit here and hope to get the sink in tonight, and the faucet on the tub so I have water. That would just be so nice to take a bath. Anyway, another crazy day and I'm off to get more stuff done. hugs to you all... I'll catch up with ya'll... xoxoxoxoxoxo

I'll keep her in my prayers. That is a good thing she went back to a new DR.! That must be so scary I would be happy to lose 4lbs, I'm still so stuck, glad you are doing well! Good luck with school, I did it when ds was 3mos old, full time mom, student and employee, and soon to be downward spiral in a relationship... no wonder why I needed to lose 150lbs:eek: Wow! I would have never thought papaya would work for the band. My mom is always pushing when I feel like throwing up, which seems to be a lot lately... I'm going to take one next time. Hi Tracy. Whatcha up to sister? You know me, I wait until the very last minute for everything. Took me all day yesterday to get 15 tiles down, got up yesterday and should have just gone back to bed... I had interruption after interruption yesterday, so i got the last tile down after 5pm and I started at 7:30:mad2: I watched The Proposal last night, it was a great movie. Had a nice wood fire and just relaxed. Dan, the guy I met in Sept, came over and hung out with me (and helped) while I worked and watched the movie. He is really sweet, I do like him. . . I just need to be free for a litle bit. It is freezing here... 25degrees, I'm not ready for this yet! I go up early this am and turned up the gas fireplaces I use for heat source to warm it up for the kids. I get to spend the day in the bathroom again today and tomorrow. I get to grout the floor this morning and then that has to set for 24 hrs, so I'm going to bring the sink in the living room so i can put the faucet in and get it ready, tomorrow I get a toilet and tub faucet and put the fronts back on the tub and storage and I'm done (ok I still have to grout the wall, but not until next week) I have to take care of my health insurance Tuesday and get my stuff together for Heap and family court. I'm going to get my class B license and hazmat endorsement so I can have more job options and finish my osha certifications. I have to get going here, and now that my house is just about finished I need to focus. Ok off to get the troops up... see ya'll later

Good morning all Mom - I would say slight unfill for a month to let your system adjust. Tracy K knows about that best. Me personally, I would try do do the post surgery diet for a couple days, do liquids to let your body settle down, I'm doing that right now because I've been throwing up. Also, I know you can chug water, but try sipping for a few. You could have done too much too soon? Hi gals, I'm still feeling like i want to get sick, If I could have children, I would almost wonder.... that is just how I feel. I was going to go for my walk this morning, but I'm going to put it on hold for a couple days. I have to get this bathroom done and the house cleaned up for Friday, and it seems I'm running out of time. Maybe I'll hit the gym tonight. It is COLD here, 30 this morning when I got up. Yuck! Unseasonably cold all week, mid 40's. I don't like it, have my fireplaces going already! Ok I'll be back, going to get kids ready for school

Hey all Tracy - I didn't want to put too much on Facebook, because I didn't know how much my aunt wants our family to know... but I only get to see her 1-2 times a year and she is my absolute favorite. Her daughter lives right outside NYC so I get to take a road trip, spend the night and spend some QT with her. They live in SC and I would be down with her in a hot minute!!!

I'll keep you all posted on my trip to Orchard Park. I know I'm going eventually, just not sure when. That would be a great get together

Hey all sorry for the lack of personals. I'm feeling better and just don't know where to start reading. As for the swine, It is very scary, you hear about get sick and 2 days later... It would be nice if they gave details of what happened and what to look for. My kids have asthma, dd is much worse than ds, but I'm right on them. They both have colds and I keep telling ds if he has even a slight problem with his chest and listening very carefully to his cough. I'm so scared of that. I have nebulizer here and stocked on their meds, but what happens with these kids that they are not getting the proper care or attention that they fill up so quickly? That I don't understand and that is what scares me most. Do they just give them an antibiotic and send them home? I just don't get it. Anyway, on another note... I'm feeling better, and got floor done and now going to get my lazy butt up and clean. Going to walk tomorrow if it kills me.

1/2 way would be Utica or Syracuse way. I should know soon if I'm coming for a couple days. That will make a big difference, because I'm planning a trip for other reasons too.

I am right outside of Albany, not a bad drive for me. I am going to try to come visit that way mid November during the week. I was there last December for Holiday party, it was at the Roycroft, that was a beautiful place to stay.

That would be fun, I'm trying to oget a trip in to Orchard Park in the near future, I have become good friends with one of the gals in the office and trying to get out there. I'll let you all know if I do

Good Morning drive by post, I am sick and feel like I'm going to puke, so I'll be back

Hey gals Just wanted to check in, sick as a dog with a stomach bug but had to get the kids to school. I'm coming to the next meeting...LOL Actually wish I could to meet you guys.
