Hey guys Too hot to walk, so doing the 45 min water aerobic cd in the pool again this afternoon and just mowed the lawn, inside drinking some lemon water an heading back out. hope you are all doing well.... so quiet around here HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACY!

good morning gals hope you all have a good day, going to get my hair done in an hour. It has been hotter here, but it is just down right tropical with the storms coming through, I actually turned my ac on downstairs for the 1st time yesterday and i can tell it is going on again soon. Make it a good one

Vicki, Did you see where I posted someone put some seasoning and toppings on the cheese and just let it fry flat, so when it cools in the pan it makes a pizza... and yes either fat free or low fat sour cream (low fat has less carbs) and ranch seasoning mix. I found fiesta ranch mix too which is very good. I'm so pms and bloated i'm a little frustrated with no loss with all my hard work. I know it will be ok in a couple days, just frustrating.

My neighbor came over the other day and asked if she can use my pool to do water aeorbics, of course I said yes, she is older, and she made me a copy of her 45 and 60 minute cd's that have instructions for aerobics. We did it today, i'm sore, but felt great. It was way too hot to walk. Hope you all have a good night and all is well, I can't wait for TOM i feel like crap.

Michelle sorry to hear you are so sad, I am not the one to give any advice...

Morning gals kind of bummin, super pms and bloated and gained a lb. I can't really feel guilty about it because I know it is TOM and I was golden good yesterday. Hope you all had a good weekend I'm going to JCP today they are having a big sale and I have aa $10 off coupon so I'm going to get ds his shoes for school, he has wide feet and Vans work the best for him, so $29 is a good deal. getting things tgether around here getting ready for our Atlantic City Trip, Leaving Sat or Sunday early with the kids to spend 3 days at the beach. It is not as nice as my regular vacation spots but for a free vac and close to home... sign me up. I still get beach and fun. We are going to bring bagles and cream cheese, lunch meat and rolls and chips and our own drinks so we will only eat out for dinner. Anyway, would love to walk but I think today is going to be a day off, Judy has send her storms this way, we had most of them during the night but they have not left yet. 87 hot and humid today, tomorrow will be a great pool day.

I totally understand what you are saying, but you have done a great job so far! My dr told me you only lose 40-50% of excess weight with the band, and you are there! My personal motivation is to prove the stats wrong! Good luck

I got stuck about a year out, right about where you are... looking at your signature, We are about 5lbs different. I was stuck at 219 after a year, and here it is another year later and ups and downs, and a good fill (I'm at 1.5cc in 4cc band) I'm finally really loosing again. I was holding 205 for the last 6 months. I also got back into bad things, I went from homemade ranch with sour cream only to the bottled stuff with 200cals for 2tbs :cool: OMG, no wonder why I couldn't lose. I wish you the best of luck, and a suggestion I would give if asked, do the food diary if you are not already, it is scary what a reality check that is.

oh... Firemen... I have a thing for guys in uniform... no wonder I can't meet anyone who is not military or retired military. Done cleaning the house and going to shower, tonight is ladies night at the pub and they have 2 for 1.... and since i can't have more that 3 good ones... and still function, It should be a cheap fun night

Why Thank You! it is a nice cool cloudy day here, which normally would make me crazy, but we just scrubbed the entire downstairs - I'm doing laundry and it is all good. how is everyone's weekend?

Now that is funny stuff!!!!! Can I join in on that suit?

Suzie I love mexican food, I made the kids the best nachos yesterday. Usually I make low fat ones, with turkey meat or Pulled pork ... not last night used real burger, veleveta cheese and regular scoops. They said they were the best they ever had..LOL Have a good day

Nikki That sounds good, I bet that would be good cooked in a pan on the grill too. Hey did ya all know if it goes in the oven you can cook it on the grill? I never turn my oven on in the summer. OK... Here you go Terry Zuccini Pancakes 1 Large Zuccini (about 4 cups shredded) 2 eggs or 1 container egg beater 1/4 cup flour salt and pepper Grate zuccini, it is very wet and best if you get most water out, I put in a strainer with a pot of water on top to push water out. After 10 mins, i put paper towels under the pot to get water off the top layers, let set another 5-10 mins and should be ready to go. Add egg, salt and pepper, and flour. Mix it all up. It should look like it is all coated but will not clump like cookie dough. (that is what I expected when i made it first time) Heat frying pan on MED, you can either use oil of any kind or butter, (best with butter) once that is hot, spoon mixture into pan, about the size of smaller pancakes and make sure it is not too thick, flatten with spoon. They are done when they are brown, they do take a while to cook and the first batch seems to take forever while the pan seasons or something, not sure why. You almost can't over cook them, unless you turn up too high and burn the outside. My gram taught us to love them with a little sour cream on them. You can also do the same thing with grated potatos. More people have hear of Potato Pancakes

Morning gals Terry - you sound so much better, glad it seems to all be coming together for you too. I am trying hard to work on my co-dependancy as well, and I know it is not easy, plus everything else in life. I'll go post the zuccicni pancakes now. Lets see... today is cloudy and i think going to be a lazy day for me. taking the morning off from my walk, going to do the afternoon walk today. I am super PMS and with the bloat I have not lost in 2 days. I'm frustrated but sure that is what it is, that and I am sure I was borderline deydrated, I drank 2qts crystal light yest to make up for what i was missing and have not really gone to the bathroom, I'm going to try some lemon water today with the crystal light. My fill is still wonderful, had 2 1/3 cups of chicken/cheese soup and 1 cup of broth yesterday and full... holy smokes, as soon as TOM gets here I'm sure i'll be losing again I hope you all have a great day Jane - how nice... I would love a check for $300

hello all just thought I would pop in and say goodnight. still no desire to eat, so I made another pot of soup, I shared the first pot. I made a pulled pork, zuccini pancakes, the best nacho's in the world for the kids, hot dogs and mac'n'cheese for ds, fresh pesto... whew!!! I'm exhausted! 8:30 and I'm ready for bed, I might take a sleeping pill tonight, I just so need to sleep, I am physically drained Hope you all had a good day

Thanks! Well.... 21lbs to the personal goal I set 2 years ago... Once I get there I might do another 25... and then I'll be very very happy. My Dr's goal was where I was 10lbs ago so he is happy I am ready to move forward and prove him wrong

Tracy - enjoy your day with no kids. I just went grocery shopping at wally world and left mine behind... it was so nice Pamela - you go girl on the machines.... my trainer made me do 15 the first time and i almost died! Laura - have fun. well off to the next phase of my day, I'm exhausted, I think I have restless leg...I toss and turn all night and they just ache, I can't get comfortable - I bought a new body pillow and going to try to prop it under my knees tonight and see if that helps. TTFN

holy smokes it is a fall morning out there, so i wear a big t-shirt that was tight on me when I got in in Feb .... and my new old navy sweats which are heavier for the fall...(oh and a size Large instead of xl)... I am sweating to death. we have a couple of 75 sunny days and monday will be back to 87 and humid

Good Morning Gals Hey Terry - what you up to today? Thanks, and I am stubborn, but unfortunately I didn't drink enough yesterday and am at 196 this am, but that is 2 days in a row so I'll take it. That is great Evan is getting a trial period at Lowes! I'm sorry you have stuff going around in your head, I know that feeling, I can't sleep and that is all i do is think. call me if you want to chat, I'm here, going for a walk in 30 mins but other than that just hanging out today.

Kat Congrats.... sounds like a great day :scared2: Michelle - have fun I'm heading back to Atlantic City in a few weeks, comp nights, I looked at room rates for that weekend... fri 210, sat 249 and sun 199 and those were expedia rates... I got them all for free!!!! Have a good night everyone
