Done with that today! Lets see, here is what i has yesterday 1 egg with 1/4 cup ricotta cheese 1/2 cup french onion soup with 1/4 cup mozz cheese 2oz tuna, 1/3 c lettuce and 1/4 cup cheese 2 bites of ds's ice cream cake (so i woulnd't eat a whole pc)

Hi gals just a check in, so much going on with all our violets. Terry - Not the same situation at all, but I know how you feel, that is pretty much where I was last year when i was not around much, so heart sick I was making myself ill and didn't want to get up most days.

Hey gals Vicki - I only have 19 to go to my 1st ultimate goal. I'm stuck again too and I'm working out like a dog. I have a big event on 9-10 and I would be so happy to lose another 10lbs by then and it is not happening. I am meeting with the guys from Buffalo that I worked with for the last year. They are all guys and I love them to death, and the only one who will say anything is my site super, we got really close and are pretty open with each other, and he i s brutially honest ...lol anyway, that is my short term goal, going to see them is really important to me. what is everyone up to today?

Laura I am so sorry

Hey guys I wish I had someone to go to a meeting with. I hate going alone and have not been. I really should go. working like crazy and have not lost an ounce in a week.

Morning gals Just want to send you all big hugs, sounds like everyone is in a place, and not necessarily a good one. I am heading out for my walk, back to reality this am

Morning gals I'm up getting ready for a meeting, I'm so glad to be back in touch with my work force. I'm going to take my 30 hr and I think I am going to get my tax id now and start getting in touch with my resources and get working for myself like I wanted to. Jane - HORRIBLE, I couldn't stand up or sit straight in the car, after about 2 hrs the pain started but was very gassy after an hour. Gas ex helped a lot, I now have a box in the car which will never leave the car. Mine was in my stomach but was moving a little. Going to be another Hot one here today ... you all know I love that. Hope to be done working by noon and in the pool

Morning everyone I'm sorry you are all so frustrated, and trust me I know the feeling - I only lost 25lbs after the first year of rather quick weight loss. I gained a few because I got comfortable and just lost 18lbs and not an ounce in a week and I am still on mushie food and exercising. Wish I had some good advice other than don't give up and Take measurements! Sometimes you see the difference even if the scale is not moving

Hey guys I am home Kat - first Happy Belated Birthday, glad you had a nice day, and Thank You! I had a nice trip, very nice and so very relaxed. Didn't win a cent but did go to the beach and walked and walked and walked. Got myself a beautiful new bracelet, I have been searching for the perfect one for 2 years and I GOT IT and I didn't care and got it for me. Of course the kids got junk too, but we all had a great time and DS loved the ocean. dd has been going from the time she was 8 months old, so she missed it the last 2 years. A short trip but very nice. After hours, days, weeks and even months of serious soul searching I am doing everything for me, I do love him but It is all about me. it has to be. I have a plan for where I want to be in life when I'm 40 and the clock is ticking. I am on my weight mission for me this time, not for him, and I want my children to be good too and i'm happy and that i making all of us happy. Anyway, glad everyone is well. I am off, have to get up early and go meet the owner of the construction company at 8 so hav to get upand shower and look presentalbe. I did eat very well while we were gone but very bloated. Does anyone else have a problem driving for a long time? every road trip to AC this month, there and back both times I had horrible horrible gas pains to the point I couldn't even stand up, have taken stock in gas x. But once i'm up walking they are gone and didn't come back until my return trip. Horrible! Ok that is that, just had to ask. HI EVERYONE, missed you all

Night gals heading out at 5am, i'm exhausted, car is packed and I am ready to go. Pamela, that sucks! have a good few days Pray for me girls, I'm really having a hard time with the Kev thing, he just vanished off the face of the earth on Wed am and I'm doing all I have to deal with it as it is. I don't understand it, and It really hurts very badly. What a f'n coward is my main thought, but then there are all the why am I so horrible thoughts. anyway, I'm just trying so hard to be strong

Hi Vicki just checking in, heading to Atlantic City at 6am ... I should be in bed but shutting everything down. Have a good few days

Have fun Tracy I'm getting things together here and then I'm heading away until Tuesday.

Have fun Haydee and thanks, I have not talked to him in a few days, and it hurts, and maybe what I need, It just makes things so final and I'm sad, I do and will always love him. Another thing is the court stuff, he should be giving me much more than I get and dd needs braces which he agreed to help with but he has not been very good on the follow through so I don't trust him, so I have to do it, I've been putting it off and I can't anymore. Just not something I enjoy doing. Hope you all have a good weekend, I have a ton to do to pack and well, we finally have summer too and I spent 4 hrs in the pool and sun today and well.... going to do the exact same thing tomorrow then Sunday we head out at 5am. I need a good distraction. Hugs to everyone...

Morning gals Glad to see you terry. Love you I am having a hard time with thoughts of Kev this week, feel like i'm going to be alone and worthless forever, but it will pass, I hope. I know I deserve so much more. I think hard week because I requested family court papers and they came yesterday and I know I need to fill them out. Just going to be a nightmare. Hope you all have a good day, we finally have summer here, 85 today! YIPEE

Haydee - I'll send you a box of stuff within the next week. So glad to find a good home for them. Well, back from my walk, it is humid out there

Good Morning There is a 50million lb walk off challange in Buffalo in Sept, thinking about going. Where is Deleware Park? Is it right in the city? How are you all doing today? Slow start here, cloudy and looks like rain so not sure if I am going to walk this morning, I should suck it up and go, I'm on a roll and 4lbs away from my August goal

Morning Everyone getting ready for my walk, just wanted to say hi! And if anyone can wear those clothes please shout! I would rather pass on than dump in the green box

Hi guys well, I have been working hard and i'm in a size 14, almost comfortably and my new jr size 15 shorts are too big that i just got 3 weeks ago (if anyone wants them) I also have a bunch of size 14 jeans that I can part with, my friend gave them to me and they are 14P, and I need regular and my favorite jeans are long and the work great with my boots, not that I am tall. Anyway, if anyone is interested LMK. Anyway, I lost my sheet with my last year measurements but YUCK, I wanted to shoot myself... I was disgusted, I know my arms are 2" smaller and my waist is maybe 3" smaller, but my legs ... they grew! and my hips, I don't remember what they were but I don't like that number at all, and they all work aroung my saggy belly. OH if that isn't enough to work even harder to see results I don't know what is. Anyway, enough of that, maybe on 9/9 when I do this again I'll see some results from all my hard work. Terry - wish I could be there just to give you a hug Tracyk - HI! Well I would leave my ds with you because you are a good mom, and her daughter is happy and she can put that in her pipe and smoke it! LOL I'm in rare form, I have a big event on 9/10 and I really want to look good, going to see people from the construction company and I want to look good, plus I want to look good for me so I can someday make someone else happy, but that is never going to happen unless I am happy. Still not always good with Kev and still an emotional roller coaster but I Know what I want and deserve out of life and this might be the first time I realize that.

Tracy How wonderful and that must have been a kick ass garage sale. I am just so happy for you and wish you the best with your new life.

It is definately not as easy. When I was a year out, I started thinking I should have had RNY then I see people who had it done, and 99% of them look like crap, lots of hanging skin and some even very wrinkled. or some people just look drawn. These are people and friends of mine, so I'm not speaking for everyone, and everyone has their own personal choices... just want to get that out too. Keep up the great work, You still have lost 77lbs, that is fantastic! I am dealing with personal stuff and trying to convince myself it is all going to be ok, so I'm going to share my personal cheerleading with you

Suzie I can tell the difference, different color and small zuccini are usually thinner than cucumbers. In the summer I love farm stand zuccini, make zuccini parm, pancakes, sauted with onion and garlic, shredded in an omlet. I would eat it ever day if I could

Vicki That is very true, the last year has been slow, last June I was at 125 and in a year down and bouncing 202-205. But I got out of good habbits and stopped exercising so I did it to myself. Don't give up, change up exercise, make sure you are getting 60g protein and stay as positive as you can... it will come off. My Dr told me up front stats would put my end weight at 205 and i'm now 10lbsbelow that, i'm going to prove him wrong!

Kathy get your health issues taken care of and when it is your time to be banded, you will. I did my consult in April, was ready for surgery in October, but had some setbacks that held me back until the following April. Looking back, it was the best thing that could have happened, I don't think I could have taken care of everything all at once. When I was dealing, I decided to cut things slowly from my life so I wouldn't miss them when I couldn't eat them. It has been 3 years next month that I have not had any soda or beer, and those were my 2 things i lived for. Best of luck

Morning everyone so very quiet here, Michelle, glad you feel better Kat, go you staying away from the ice cream and doing 11 minutes. I did another 45 mins of water aeorbics. My body feels so much better, my legs have not kept me up the last 2 nights, so there is my clue, I am going to continue to do this even when i close the pool, back to the Y when the kids go back to school, until then, I am going to continue to walk and do that every day I can get in the pool. My friend and our girls have been doing it with me and it was fun My arms looked good last week and one night i went to bed and woke up with bat wings. I got my weights out 2 days ago too to try to get them back in shape before i can fly away. Make it a good one, nice cooler day today so going to finish my coffee and go for a walk.

I'm so sorry Terry xoxoxoxo
