Since you're in the medical field, isn't there some sort of requirement that you have to be on call 24/7 and respond for requests to come in within a specific time period? Maybe that's just for doctors?

There's the band spirit!

Another 1/2 lb down today!

When you get the head hunger thing that urges you to eat (usually bad foods at that), drink some water instead. If that doesn't make it go away, do jumping jacks and "feel" your body cringing under your excess weight and that should help shut that craving up.

Beth, not trying to piss you off or sound catty, but if you drank those for several years and still needed the band, maybe you should stop drinking them now? <ducking head and running for the door>

Fanny - so glad to hear you weren't hurt and the damage to the car is cosmetic (though costly). It's a pure miracle you weren't killed. Da*& punk kid! Lulu - so jealous you have snow, all we have is a very wet and cold day in Houston--temps hovering between 35 and 40 with non-stop gentle rain. My kids are willing the rain to turn to snow.

Since I haven't been working out, it doesn't bother me when I don't work out. He he In all seriousness, if I sleep on my stomach I notice it's sore in the morning. I try not to sleep on my stomach but sometimes my body does its own thing while my mind is in dreamland.

PJTP: It's so rude of people at work asking me to review their contracts! Don't they know that I'm tired and cranky and the barometric pressure has given me a headache? All I want to do is peruse the forums and play on my fb! What's wrong with these people!

It's definitely a trip on the nostalgia train...

BBK, where are you? I haven't seen one of your posts in quite a while.

Awwww. It's a smell you never forget.

guinea pigs are fat rats! yeck! i have a pathological fear of rats. when i was 10, my older sis brought home a guinea pig in a cage and my smart cat figured out how to open it and get that damned rat! no more rats parading around as pets in our house after that! ha!

OK, it's only 1/2 a pound but I'm still counting it anyway!

I'm a salsa girl myself. If I get the good stuff, I can just drink it down! I wasn't a huge fan of salsa until I moved to Texas and found out that only TexMex people can make it right. :angry_smile:

According to the Mayans, the world as we know it is going to end 2012 anyway, so let's just party like its 2011! :w00t:

I think it was a guy who came up with the saying " 'tis better to give than receive" :angry_smile: I have to admit, I do a lot more receiving than giving. My DH is just a very giving kind of guy.

Plain, sometimes your taste in movies is just plain sophomoric!

Thank you. I love you, too! :angry_smile: The best "bow-chicka" dance is by the asperger guy on Boston Legal which I'm sad to report aired their final episode last night. It was a great finale though!

If cheetos are within reachable vicinity, they don't last long so I make sure they're out of reach (like at the store). :angry_smile:

I'm happy to report that I haven't run into any exes on fb; I did find some pics of old crushes from elementary school, though. Took me waaaaaay back. :angry_smile:

Good morning, ladies! I'm so excited. I think I've finally found that elusive sweet spot after my 5th fill last Tuesday. I've dropped 4.5 lbs since then and when I eat just 1 serving of something, I feel full for hours. Not just band full but belly full. I'm so happy and thrilled that the band finally seems to be working with me! :angry_smile:

Joiful, I find that foods I used to enjoy and partake of in too much quantity now is no longer as appealing. Sometimes, I take one bite of something and even if I'm hungry, it just didn't taste right so I walk away. With this last fiill, I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot. It's been one week and while the band has loosened enough for me to eat solid foods, literally, one serving makes me feel full, not just band full but belly full, too.

This thread's been very quiet the past couple of days. Where is everyone?

Thanks Charlene and Kimaly. It is so good to see the scale moving down. I'm so motivated, I think I'll actually start back on the treadmill. :angry_smile:

Thank you Janet. I took them today in the office. The lighting in there is much better than the lighting at home for picture taking. Since I've joined facebook, I've been taking pics like crazy.
