It has been so nice here this week, not it is damp, chilly and raining on and off all day and is going to continue all weekend. I did most of my running, getting ready to tan and run to the bank but don't have any money and loosing it staying in the house. i just want to go to bed

Reflux sounds horrible, I'm afraid I have some going on or part of my allergies. I get post nasal drip that tends to make me lose my voice every spring and either that is beginning or i have reflux happening, it is not burning but feels like i scratched the back of my throat to the point of being irritated, but no pain, no back ups...and for the last year I've been eating hot sauce like it is my job. I have never stayed in Vegas, 8 years ago, I went to LA and ran through the airport and that is about it, a 20 minute visit.

Morning gals Pam - HUGS you are in my thoughts this am I have a busy day, have to go to my aunts this morning and take care of her meds then i'm going to meet dbf so we can withdraw our family court petition. I only filed one because he filed one to lower. Remember that, it was months ago and still being dragged out? Anyway - he wanted to drop his and asked if i would drop mine. I can go back at change of circumstance so when he gets his settlement we can go back (or when dd needs braces next year). Well, scale is down another lb today, i'm officially back to my contest weight plus i got a visit from TOM today - I lost track time of but the good thing is, hope to lose a lb or 2 when it is gone, plus it will be gone right before our trip. How nice Anyway Hope everyone has a good day Kat - glad Rick is keeping you busy, you are in my prayers and will be waiting to hear about your allergies... Did you go back to old glasses? Are you feeling better?

Night all KAT WHERE ARE YOU???????????

How depressing I just went on to my ticker to get a little info... how sad, I've only lost 12lbs since November. I'm ready to run to the nearest bridge :redface:

Hi I have been laid off 2 times in the last 18 months and just found out today because of where I had been the last year that I cannot get unemployment from the company that just laid me off from lack of work. I did go to school after the first time but because no experience in the new career choice, could not get a job. After this last layoff - I have been extremely depressed and I take it personally and have to wonder what could I do different or what I did that was so wrong. I guess just saying, it is not easy and there could be lots going through his head, but it is all about choices, sit around and do nothing or take charge and do something. I got my last job with an agency and it was suppose to be perm and they have already have been working hard to get me a job, and I go for my 2nd interview and am the top canidate with a major commercial construction company (the job to go with the education I've been working on). Congrats on the surgery!

Heather, I have always been a semi cheap date and i went 9-10 months without a drink, and now, no physical issues but OMG, 1/2 decent drink and i'm done and when I finish the entire thing, call me a cab.

I need to venture out on the site more, just gets so overwhelming This is such a great idea

Michelle I'm well within +/- 5% with my ticker weight... so you are safe. when and when all is said and done before our trip...or May 1... what is the contest date? you will still be able to ad a lb or 2 or 3 or 4... now if this was the other day, we would have been in trouble. LOL

Go TracyK!!!! That was an amazing post - very impressive. I shave every day so i would have to cut all my hair off to get 5lbs. LOL. Well with that much antibiotics you should be clear of any issues for our trip. Lets hope I get this job so I can afford to go... Hey Judy - you are amazing Happy Bandiversary!!!!!

Hi gals Well today has been a day to say the least I got my garage cleaned, what a mess. We have a section full of stuff, my mom is having a garage sale for the Susan G. Koleman breast cancer walk. She has to raise $2300 to be able to do the walk, then walk 20 miles a day for 3 days. She did it last year and is doing it again in Boston MA this year. I am only getting $94 a week from unemployment - $25 because I work a day and they are taking it from my step mom... are you kidding me??? I can't do that to her, and i can work 5 hrs and make that amount of money WTF? On a happy note, I have a 2nd interview on Tuesday with the construction company and I am their top canidate. They are going to want me to do some kind of "task" for them so I'm going over to talk to my BIL on Sunday and get some pointers (he owns a construction company) but he knows i'm perfect for the job and will get it. I don't know the start date, 4-5 weeks.... holy shit... no money until then... I'm having a slight panic attack today and just don't know what i'm going to do. Anyway, Pam, if i had money I'd be there in a second. LOL Michelle, so proud of you Tracyks - maybe you can hook up with someone for a free TT??? HMMMMMMMMMMMM or you can always send them my way. LOL

That is just absolutely amazing. I hope to add some more to that... help it get to 850 by our trip????? I'm sure that Michelle all by herself will get our total to 850 >LOL That is only a total of 17lbs in a month between divided out... doable

NICE!!! my big mouth just gets me in trouble!

LOL Laura, that was my thought too Tracyks - Did I write that?????????? That sounds like my story to a T except that dbf is now mental more mental than ever and 1 day he is freaking, and the next not. I'm sure he is backed off the last couple of weeks because my bar is closed for a month or 2, it has been 4 weeks and I'm going through withdrawl. I only had a drink or 2 when out but it was my place, I stayd away for a long time because i Hated who I became so now I get such compliments that I love going just to feel good about me. And when I'm there he can tell with my attitude so he can tell when i'm home a lot too, I need ego booster but I'm getting more independent every day and I love it! Pam- Since I posted my start weight, I gained 7lbs!!!! I have lost 5 of that this week but shit.. I'm feeling the same way, and does 7lbs feel like I was right back at 278... how strange is that? It was enough for me to get back to shakes and tuna only. I was starving at work last night but everytime I was going to eat something i just put it back and told my self what a cow I was and I didn't need it and that my dr is going to be so disappointed in me next week, let alone myself! Anyway, I'm going to relax for a few then head out to work on cleaning my garage

YEAH MICHELLE - go you It stinks i was back up but going down was enough to keep me from eating last night at the pizza shop too

Good Morning gals Well, i am so sore, did yard work yesterday then worked all night. I've been going to the gym but i used muscles that i forgot i had. Good news, scale is down to 210 this am and I still feel bloated from being on my feet in the heat at work. So there is hope. I would reallyy like to be down to 205 by next wed when i go for my bandiversary appt. I guess if I stick with protein shakes I should be able to be down 5 lbs in a week. shoot, I already lost that in 2 days. Kat - I'm flying delta, but ya'll know how I feel about flying in the first place... but I hope that they get this done quick. Southwest was the other day too. Tracyk- Dylan starts kindergarden too this year, it is so exciting yet so hard to believe well i'm going to drink my coffee and bring the kids to the sitter, i need a day of R&R

OMG we are in the 30's countdown, how exciting!

I'm not getting any emails anymore from lbt - am I the only one?

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Just lost my post Good morning Have I ever told you about my neighbors behind me, they have been here for 3-4 years and have been rude ever since day 1 and have a dog that barks and barks, we had it out last summer and I have not talked to them since. Anyway, someone must have complained about the dog because it has been quiet, but this week, it started again, he goes to work at 3am and puts it out and she is so rude and clueless, doesn't hear it barking for hours, usually starts about 4:15, wakes up everyone on the street, they all complain to me because how can i not hear it????? My one neighbor 4 doors down is going to pound on their door at 4:30 and wake them up (i love her she cracks me up) I am calling the dog warden today, it is insane, I'm up since 4:15 and ds is up at 5:30-6 every morning because of it. They just decided to sell but are insane and asking too much but hurry up and get out!!!!! I did good yesterday 2 Protein shakes and tuna with 1oz lowfat cheese for dinner. Bad thing, I had a drink with the neighbors but had crystal light in it. I had gained again last week, I don't think i'm going to get on the scale until I go to the dr next week, but then again, when I did weigh myself every day i didn't let me get completely out of control- I'm ashamed to say but i was up to 214... so time to get it together! Michelle, congrats on the -10 you go girl Kat - that would be great if you could wait until right after the trip - I had put off my banding 3 weeks because I was going to Myrtle Beach and was worth it Anyway, I think I'm going to get up and go to Water aerobics ttfn

I just had a long post and lost it I am going to my liquid/protein shake diet today. I'm out of control since I lost my job and can't get out of it I hope everyone is having a good day. Kat, thinking about you... HUGS

hi guys, i can't wait to go, today officially starts my post band diet to get rid of some weight that i continue to gain. this job thing really has me depressed

OMG Kat HUGs you are in my prayers

Morning girls just getting home, went to spend the night with my cousin who is kind of in town at a conference. I miss her Anyway, I'll post more later... but Jane... OMG and all i have to say is I WANT TO GO TO COYOTE UGLY! Please please please...... can i go... can i go... are we there yet????LOL :Dancing_wub: omething else i always wanted to do

Michelle I think you should make a nap a priority, that and some anitbiotics and i'm sure you will feel better. I hope sorry you are so sick, i was there a few weeks ago, went to a birthday party and ended up with 102 fever... take care of yourself

Morning girls I am so jealous of all of you and making ps dates. I'm canceling my appt for monday, mostly because they don't really seem like they want to submit to insurance, 2nd because I love my dr, so i want to use his PS, he may give me a hard time but it is tough love - and i know that, and his ps will submit to ins and knows what I need to do- How my stomach looks is what i am obsessing about and honestly, I need to obsess about loosing the last 25lbs then go to the ps thing. I am loosing sight of my priorities. Then I will be at my goal and then have ps. I am going to meet ps and then see what i need to start doing.. I have had back issues on and off for the last 15 years, I just stopped going to the dr for it, I've been on and off on muscle relaxers but because of my accident 15 years ago, just always put the blame on that. Oh well, I had chinese eggplant and black bean sauce last night, must have been loaded with salt more than normal, i feel huge this morning! my entire body feels swollen. Hope you all have a great day Jane - I want pics!!!! LOL Shoot, I forgot - my favorite cousin is in town for conference... we are going out... and i'm sure going to get into huge trouble. LOL
