Morning all Judy, good luck with that flu shot... both my kids got sick and my mom got hers 2 days ago and is now getting sick too. and Pamela... you hit the nail on the head.... "What do we know about it???????" that just scares me and the way they reacted to the regular one this year... mmmmmmmm I don't think so went for 4 mile walk now heading to the gym, then home to clean and do some paperwork. Have a good day all

Hi all hope you have a great day, I'm back from 4 mile walk, made an egg and now heading to the gym for some weights going to get some paperwork done today I think so I'll be back in a bit. Tracyk - call me sister!

I hope so, all of it, muscle and it will come off... I'm afraid I might keep going up. I am going for my walk in the am then water aerobics, I'm changing my schedule up... cardio 3 x week plus walk 6 days and weights 2-3 days for some tone.

I wish you all the luck! I am so undecided. I gained a lb and I'm freaking out! I have an emergency nutrition appt on 10/2 to get this under control. how do I gain when I'm exercising like crazy!?

Mimi - I'm so jealous. I want a TT because I could prob get my ins to pay for it... but worried about another surgery, so thinking about smart lipo, it tightens skin and I've seen the living proof, so If i can get rid of even 1/2 of this for 5k I'll be very happy, no major surgery! well, going to lunch with new friend, I'm starving from walking, prob going to get a small chicken salad, but I need real food! working out even more is pushing me over the edge I think

Haydee - thanks. ... no they went back to school last Wed, dd is exhausted has cheer ever day from 3:15 to 6 school all day and tons of homework... ds is just exhausted getting back into it. He is getting a little cold and alex got a mild flu from the stupid shot. NO WAY am I giving the the Swine shot. I'm sorry to hear about your break in. I was 2nd on the list for our site, than goodness Chris always answered. LOL

Mimi - Hi and welcome Suzie - you are funny... step away from the funnel cake!!!!! LOL I am enjoying it, I just walked 5 miles plus my 2.5 this am... holy smokes burned 1170 cals before noon! why am i stuck again??? I logged all my morning walks only because I couldn't remember what days I did a 2nd walk or Water aerobics so I didn't count them. I've burned 6068 cals since 9/2 ... I'm starving ... what am i going to do? I am going to have some broth, take another shower, then go to lunch with Dan. it is all good. what you all up to today? anything exciting?

HI Jane I gained 20lbs in 5weeks on Lexapro, there is a very good chance that could be it. That is why I changed. I think sometimes I need a higher dose since so much has happened since I went on it, but I'm happier and loosing weight. have a good day yes sad about Patrick - what a year for the famous

Morning gals Welcome Jolly - nice to have you here, it seems this is going to be a great group. Suzanne - remember my bath pics of the tub and wall? I am going to take up the floor tiles and put down big ones like the brown on the wall. I have been seriously putting it off waiting for my dad to take the toilet out... it is out so I guess I should get busy... TracyK sent me a text last night, she is not in a great place and went to spend a night or 2 in LA with her freind to do some soul searching. She is going to try to post today or tomorrow. Send her good thoughts guys, she has been dealing with a lot. Anyway, gong for a walk in 5 mins so i can be back before the kids get on the bus

wouldn't it be nice if it was an exact science?

I think that is why I think I've slowed down, but I had a 3oz chicken tender in my lettuce for lunch and put some ground turkey in my egg this am, once a week i eat more then back off. that is why i'm changing up my workout too, but I'm at home and have tons of time to exercise, which is how i lost so quicklyin the beginning. I have not had any junk or sugar since July 30th, and I just keep saying don't do it or you will get the taste back

Good for you, Congrats... slow and steady wins the race! I only have 1.5 in a 4cc band.

Thanks Heather - and I can't forget 18 years.. but I sure can love me and be happy... I had a great time Sat, we went to a car show in Lake George, the city was closed down, I have never been to one but want to do new things, and had a really good time, and he came over last night and watched a movie with me... and a chick kind of movie... so that must say something

hola all quiet here today... how are ya'll doing? I went for my walk, went to the gym, and made meatballs to put in the sauce that has been cooking since last night, going to take my toilet out tonight so I can take the floor up tomorrow. not going to the gym tomorrow, only going 3 days a week, so will just do my walk tomorrow what are ya'll to tonight?

Vicki - this was a bad day with a lot of food, but this is the basics of what I eat every day... this was from my journal, so I'm getting between 6-800 cals a day and 70-80g protein. My fill is what lets me do this. I have lost 31lbs since July 30th. Plus I walk 5 miles a day and was doing water aerobics but right now I'm changing to weight training. So as you can see, I dropped a bunch really quick from 7/30 to 8/12 with the fill, I'm now leveled off, that's why I track measurements Breakfast Sausage - Turkey, breakfast links, mild, 1 serving 2 links1321109remove Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese - Cheddar Mild 2% Milk Reduced Fat, 0.25 cup80167remove Eggs - Scrambled (whole egg), 1 large101177remove Add Food Remember Meal 31332323 Lunch Lettuce - Iceberg (includes crisphead types), raw, 1 cup shredded10201remove Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese - Cheddar Mild 2% Milk Reduced Fat, 0.25 cup80167remove Kati's - Crock Pot Pulled Pork Loin Roast, 4 oz or 1/2 cup2208926remove Add Food Remember Meal 310111534 Dinner Hood - Low Fat Sour Cream, 4 tbsp - 30g70642remove Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese - Cheddar Mild 2% Milk Reduced Fat, 0.25 cup80167remove Lettuce - Iceberg (includes crisphead types), raw, 1 cup shredded10201remove Valley Fresh - 100% Natural White Chicken-Canned, 2 oz7002012remove Add Food Remember Meal 23093022 Snacks Add Food Total: 853236879 Your Daily Goal: 1,6852315663

Thanks so much .... I can't seem to find anyone here from this area. They all seem to be doing the RNY around here

That is crazy... did they sign their name? are they still employed? what is wrong with people?

Haydee - that sounds like a nice relaxing trip, have fun!

thanks Suzanne I am going to start journaling, not my food, I eat the same thing day in and out... but just my feelings and thoughts to get them out. I'm off to get ds up, get him ready and go for my walk when he gets on the bus, come back, make an egg, then off to the gym. Today is the day I'm heading back there. Tracy - I will call you when I get back in from my walk, aout 7:30 your time. xoxoxox

I so wish I had a group I could go to and meet people. I feel so alone on this band adventure

Tracy - hey sister, so glad to have you back, I'll talk to you in the am Suzanne - can you post your link for donations? i lost it wish all that was going on and I really want to send you some I can't wait for my cancer walk, I just have this need to get involved in something important. Ok Dan just left, he watched a girly movie with me... how funny is that. had a nice relaxing night! I'm trying to choke down 2.5 oz of chicken ... not sure if i'm going to get the rest down, I have been so good today and I'm eating now, why didn't i have some s/f ice cream instead??? well, ehope you all had a good weekend

Hi everyone. Linda - a food therapist? how did you find them? I really have come a long way in the last 8 months but know it is mental eating issues i have from time to time Hope you are all doing well!

ah... thanks you guys suzie - you know what a bad place I've been in with Kev for a very long time, and how long I've been trying to break away and just couldn't. I was not eating a ton but was total comfort food, chicken fingers, nachcos from the bar, which was much worse than my healthy nachos and onion chips. Getting that big fill got me back to healthy cooking for my children, but it has been a long time coming of soul searching to get back in the game. I know you have lots going on there too, and I have been journaling, and just thinking alot about how I want my life to be, and when I go for my walks alone, I just think about everything. I hope some of those tips help and if you want any good ideas of stuff everyone will eat that is good for you and the band, I would be happy to share that too. I still have a long way to go, family court is going to really mess with my head, but my best friend said she would take the morning off of work to go with me and take him down. LOL. she has seen all that I have been put through. Have a great Sunday everyone, I have to go get some school supplies

I had an absolutely wonderful time, I forgot what it was like to be with someone that is not hard work and actually grabs your hand and just walks and enjoys your company. Suzie- I wish I could figure out what has happened with me to get it together in August so I could share it with you. You know this journey has been horrible for me and all I can say is i have done a ton of soul searching the last yearand it has been a long time coming. What I do know is I want to like me for me, and I am no longer begging people to want to be with me, men and friends in general, Like me or dont, I care but don't anymore. I know I have friends who love me for me, and MR Right is out there and now that I am taking control of me, there are options out there for me. xoxoxox night

hi just want to say hello, and let you all know i am more than done with kev, we are not even speaking and i filed court papers. have lots of anger because he is not man enough to tell me anything other than he loves me and then falls off the face of the earth, but I'm done. going on a real date either tonight or tomorrow putting a big part of my "shit" behind me... Laura - that was well said... about the relationship thing
