Suzzzie.

just wanted to share that my panties are all getting too big for me... debating on buying new ones or going commando... care to vote?

6 meals vs. 3 meals - I STARVE if I don't eat frequently. Granted, I can take 3 bites and be satisfied... 5 bites and I'm full. (depending on whatit is, of course!) Since I eat so much less, I feel better knowing I can eat more often! And YES! I'll post pics. Lol. I'll put mine up on or around Dec 15. Yay!:clap2:

Mine usually pokes out of my uniform sleeves. Whenever anyone asks me I just tell them its a really fancy pedometer. They usually say Oh cool, or something lame like that. I used to try to explain every cool detail about it and found that people don't really care. Lol!

O2B - I'm jealous. I would LOVE a salad... a burger... fries... Lol. I know you don't want to be able to eat those things... But yeah... I miss them./ And PIZZA! Jeez. At least I know why I'm fat! Lol. I do feel very lucky to have gotten my sweet spot so quickly. (I have 7cc in a 10cc band.)

Thanks Stef! I certainly HOPE I make 299... it's been YEARS YEARS YEARS since I was under 300!! I feel like it won't ever happen, though I know it will. ANd then I'll fight my way into ONEderland! HOUSTON!!!! Thats where my friend Jenifer lives (actually she's in Stafford). I swear in March 2009 (when my current lease is up!) I'm moving down there. It's supposed to SNOW here I think tonight or tomorrow or something. I HATE snow. OK... snow itse;f is OK, its when it melts then re-freezes on the highways that I HATE! Ugh! End rant. Lol. Love you all! Nighty Night!

I have a protein shake every morning - and its GOOD. Lol. Currently I'm stuck on this one: chocolate light soy milk (80 cals per 8oz!), 2 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter, scoop of my GNC brand soy protein powder (25 gm) and 4-6 ice cubes... it is sooo good and chocolatey! Reminds me of the flavor of the Reeses PB cereal. Lol. It;s like 425 cals... I take in the most cals in the morning because I have all day to burn it off! Then for a snack I have a FF yogurt, or a light string cheese. Lunch is usually part of a Lean cuisine or a few bites chicken breast. Afternoon snack is usually my 'treat' so a couple peices of DOve dark chocolate or a 100 cal pack. Dinner is typically whatever is left over from my lunch. And late evening 'snack' is typically me thinking 'OMG! I need veggies!' which are soooo hard for me to get down. I likethe green giant brand of brocolli with cheese sauce in single serving size. ..but my biggest secret to get in fruits/veggies (I just can't eat them, they get STUCK!) is the V8 Fusion Light - like 50 cals per serving and it is a full serving of fruits and veggies. Woo... I eat boring foods. I've never been creative in the kitchen... though I did make some good crock pot chicken last night! I put 4 large chicken breasts in the crock with a jar of apricot/pinapple preserves and a couple 'splashes' of soy sauce. Even my roommate loved it. Perfect combo of sweet and tangy. And I don't worry about sodium cause I drink a TON of water... besides, soy sauce has lots of antioxidants which are GOOD for you. :clap2:

I have been thinking about doing either kickboxing or jazzercise. I just want something that is fun and 'diiferent.'

Stef, you look so great! a size 14!!! OMG! I remember the first time I was ever aware that clothes had a 'size' to them... I was about 9 or 10 years old and was with my Aunt and she was going to buy me the cutest long purple coat I'd ever seen. I tried on one and she said it was too small and asked the lady for another 'size' and then the lady asked 'what size' and my aunt said 'I guess a 14 would do.' - Yeah. I was a 14 when I was like 10. When I graduated high school in 1995 I was a size 24... by 1998 I was a 28... in 2003 I was in a 30, and then by 2006 I was a 32. Ugh!!!!!!!!! Today I am a 26 in pants. So this is amazing for me. I weighed this morning (on Wednesdays I log my weight in my BodyBugg program) and my digital scale said 305.something... I didn't believe it... so I weighed again. This time Iw as 307.3... didn't believe it, so I weighed 2 more times and was 307.something all three times, so thats what I marked in bodybugg and my ticker! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! That means I've lost nearly 75 pounds in just under 6 months! I love my lil band!

I quit logging food. I eat the same shit everyday anyway, give or take a peice of chocolate. (or 2 or 3...) I do still love counting steps and calories. As far as you liking to say 'shit' today... at my work the word of the day was 'fuck'. It got UGLY!! Lol. We all needed some xanax or tequila or something! BTW, congrats on the 199! thats freaking amazing!! I'm still crossing my fingers that I make it to 299 by new years. Lol. :bandit:banditWonder Bitch Powers Activate - Form of Skinny Rich Bitch! (did I do that right? I'm more from the 'Care Bear Stare' generation. Lol!)

Good for you Rhonda at pushing your plate aside!! I did that too and all I had left was a peice of ham and a few bites of potatoes and green beans... we are a 'clean plate' family so I got some stares... but no one said anything.

Wow guys... you've all been busy here... first PB? I WISH I'd only had my first! Lol. Congrats BB on getting you some cute SMALLER panties!! Woot! Mine are becoming sagging in the butt, so I need to go treat myself to some new ones! As for ME - I had a fabulous Thankgiving. My family kept hugging me and congratulating me on my weightloss and bugging me to know 'how' I did it. I just credited 'eating better' - cause overall, it's true. It was so nice though to have people see it, acuse I've worked damned hard for it! Before my uncle left yesterday morning (he llives in Mississippi) he hugged me and told me to no lose anymore cause I'll blow away in the wind - Ha! I still weigh 310!! Lol. Ohhh, my family is too kind. I told him to look for me in May (family reunion) cause he won't even recognize then! I'm so hoping for at least another 50 off by then!! ANYWAY... I've bannished myself to two days of clear liquids, then one day of full liquids for pigging out on the damn peanut butter balls and other random easily swallowed desserts. Why the hell can I inhale crap sugary desserts when I will PB on a very very very well chewed piece of ham and turkey?? At least I'm still down about 0.6 of a pound. I just knew I'd gained like 5 pounds cause we eat eat eat for 3-4 days. Ugh! Lol!!

Ugh. I haven't done ANYTHING this week. Its been so hectic... (excuses... excuses...)

Happy Thanksgiving all!! This will be our first Thanksgiving with our new friend (Lap band!) Lol.
