    Sweetie - My arms are terrible !!!! I mean truly awful - but the way I look at it - the excess skin isn't going to kill me but the fat was.. It's my badge of honor - I'll take the excess skin any day over the fat - I live in the desert I would love to wear sleeveless - but hell I didn't where them at 250 so no biggie now. I just wear longer length sleeve for the most part You just have to change your mind set about it - I am a vane person - take great care in how I dress and look - I work out with weights every week for my arms - but I would have to have body builders muscle to take up the space of where the fat was lol... I don't know what age you are - but I'll be 55 this month and it's also apart of getting older ;0) Yes Janet I remember :thumbup: Sounds like you are still too tight if you can't eat regular food. IMHO you should be able to eat normal food if you eat slowly and chew very well - Go back to the doc have a little more taken out even .5 can make all the diff in the world. Holidays are hard for most of us - we are food addicts and all the holiday treats are the foods (sugar) that we love. We can't change the past all we can do is move forward - do our best to eat healthy and if you are too tight then you will lean towards sliders which normallly are high calorie foods.. WTG 45 lbs in 6 months that's very good - Ya the honeymoon period maybe over for you - this is the reason I never dieted - just ate healthy I know that this is the way I have to eat for the rest of my life if I want to keep the weight off - Eat Healthy & Exercise... My normal eating made me fat in the 1st place.. So make up an eating plan of healthy foods you like - something that you can live w/the rest of your life - allow for planned treats - keep within your calorie budget (IMHO you have to count calories) are you keeping a food diary - Since I gained 3 lbs over the holidays I am back to writing down what I eat - keeps me honest w/myself Yesterday had 1000 calories :0) - I have most of the 3 lbs off only 1 lb to go ;0)

My Mom made curry once when I was little - I remember it - no apples in it (lot of receipt have raisins or apples in it) she made it w/lamb & curry over rice it was good - I have never tried to make it - Balsamic rice - it's the kind of rice I use Yea today is Friday !!!

Ok gang I did my Wii tonite burn 295 & 100 this morning - my fish that I took out wasn't my normal fish but some werid fish I bought along time ago and didnt like - so now defrosting some salmon but don't really want that - I hate when I have a crappy dinner Linda - I eat fish 95% of the time as you all know but I eat lamb - chicken (both white/dark) - ground turkey - pork and maybe red meat like once or twice a month.. Hugs to all you snow bound chicks - I am sending sunshine your way.. Great - Hugs on your delima about having to move but hell in this economy more $$$ better benefits (stock options) how can you pass it up..

    You know baby girl (and all of you) my door is always open !!! You came last yr in June (middle if I remember correctly) and it wasn't even hot - by your Bday it's always hot... But hell you can never tell the weather from one yr to the next it's always changing.. I am glad you got a little rest and aren't freaking about the food - I totally understand (get) thinking you are going to strave - hell just look in my pantry... And when I go away for the weekend - I always have snacks with me - I can't imagine being somewhere and not having food with me.. I know sick - but yes I am a sick puppy... Denise you better get to the doctor about that... I will ck the soup.. Kari glad you are back - your lean cuisine had like 12 grms of protein in it - didn't need the cheese - and potato salad and cookie - I guess not that bad but could have been better choices - like a salad for lunch and sf pudding for a sweet - but since the scales are down - somethings working I don't blame you for not driving in a snow storm but gf you need to get some taken out if you have reflux Bring it on - or should I say - bring your little Canadian Butt to Cali... Well came home and did my wii active - burn 295 calories - then my gf since 8th grade called - chatted with her for a bit Went to cook my fish - and it wasn't catfish don't know what it was I know I bought something a long time ago that was diff tried it and didn't like it - so threw it away - now am defrosting some salmon - but may end up eating eggbeaters.. Ok Phyl where are you - I know the food cop didn't scare you away... Karla where are you too gf... You didn't offend anyone - How was your day - how's your food.. What's going on w/the new pics of the house.. Well it's 7:30 I am starving.. CBL

    Great - Well you didn't want the early morning :0) but what a way to find out... Hugs on the family issues - I know how tough they are.. Ok you have really peaked my curiosity - ok She's close to me right not - I think closer to me than anyone else CO isn't that far from me.. DH works for airlines ??? Hub areas I guess - how about Chicago??? LAX would be great - we could met half way at some the Loft & shop.. I can do ck breast as long as it's moist - I can't do stringy but I like dark meat - so for 10 cal I got the ck thighs Laura - I am not a big fan of pt bars - this is the reason Apples dh has gained 10 lbs - they may have Protein but if you eat too many (not saying you are - I would cuz they don't fill me up) it's not diff that eating candy.. Linda - Sorry for the cold - knock wood - I haven't had anything this winter - but can't say I get sick often Glad you got the girls up where they belong - that will make you look 10 lbs thinner.. Judy - Thinking about you hugs... Deb - Are you busy at work today or watching more master theater :0) Well back to work - I just saw 3 emails hit my mail box...

    ROTFLMAO - Yep us unlicensed pple spouting our truisms about what meds we should all be taking and doing ... Ya Karri - I do think it's best to listen to the real things - well sometime - cuz sometimes Mommy Knows Best lol lol so I can trump the doc sometimes :0) lol Ya right - I love it- I am cracking myself up... But do agree w/Steph - when you get proactive and your mind made up you do great - and the high protein has ALWAYS worked for you - thats how you lost all your weight - you were such a carb hater lol jking Steph - I will be taking down outside xmas lites for sure this weekend - most likely will do the inside too - but if I get a great offer to go do something then hell - I will jam in a minute - Next Friday 1/15 is my furlough day so it may just have to wait till then - I don't have alot of company - only me and Andrew know it's still up - pple driving by don't :0) What were those hamburger we had?? Was that Moose?? Who killed the moose?? Peter doesn't seem like a hunter to me lol :0) Can't see him being a killer - I know he was in the service had had to shoot a gun - but - just don't seem him out there hunting bambi :0) You have some diff kind of stuff that we do on the weights - I don't have anything to tell me what my total weight lifted - I have Idrise- he puts the weights at whatever he thinks I can do - sometime I make faces like - buddy this is to lite and he looks at me and says keep going then by the 6th rep my muscle are hurting and I still have 9 more to go :0) Plus I can't read the #'s without my reading glasses which I don't wear to the gym as they are just the end of the nose kind - well you all know me so that was stupid to insert :0) I need to remember to ck into the contact readers they make now - I was going to do that when I was on vacation but never had the time :0)

    Darling you don't need special dispensation since you get to eat 2500 - 3000 cals - go for it gf !!! For you it's allowable especially since you want to gain a couple - I think you are right on track... I have never had seafood lasagna only regular lasagna - right now sounds good but then I would have to give myself a ticket - and I sure in the hell aint doing that - what kind of example would I be - well I guess I wouldn't if that's all I ate all day :0) Looks wonderful - so much so that my pineapple just about choked me..

    Awe Judy Hugs hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs... You got me crying too this morning - Oh I am so sorry - My little Angel sleeps w/me every night - Oh I don't know what I will do when I have to put them down - I will be a mess too... Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers this morning ... Apples - I am a semi homemade kinda girl - This is how I made my Cacciatore last night 1 package skinless boneless ck thighs (6) sliced into bite size - onion, bell pepper (I don't measure) garlic - spray frying pan with pam - sauté til ck is brown and veggis soft - added a jar of Paul Newman Marinara sauce & about 1-2 teaspoon splenda (just enough to give it a sweet taste) and cooked til done - made rice and served over that.. It made about 3 - 1.5 servings.. Apples with all that snow I wouldn't be going ANYWHERE.. Beautiful to look at for a minute but I don't think I would want to be cooped up in the house - you know how that goes - you can be in the house for a couple days no problem then all that snow come and all of a sudden you need want to get out and can't ... Laura - I find I am colder than I use to be - I get cold at night - it's like 50 here now - boot weather for me.. Glad DH got rid of the orange slices - I tell you if I had sweets in the house - I would be dabbling in them - I have absolutly no control especially at night - I know this about me - so I just can't have it in the house at all - I guess I am lucky GS isn't a big sweet eater and when he does want something - I usually don't care for it - or I have him put it in his room.. Phyl - We have a couple newbie plus I haven't really worn the hat much lately - cuz I haven't made the best choices either and it was the holidays - but now that I am back on the wagon - Watch out - Sheriff back in town - Good Food choices... Great - I don't know if I would survive in that cold weather - I don't have enought clothes to keep me warm - I don't think a sweater and a leather jacket would be enough - I would have to have some uggs ;0) But would love to go shopping with you at Ann Taylors Loft - we could do some damage :0) Becare ful out there today.. Julies - you to be care full.... Well I need to get to work - Judy - Hugs again you are in my thoughts !!!

    Eva - You know what - when I ck'd the weather for FL the other day for Julie - I saw that's 72 is norm - I thought oh hell no that's not swimming weather lol.. Yep you and me bundled in sweats while our northern/eastern girls will be in swim suits and shorts.. lol.... So I guess I am packing long pants and long sleeve tops - boots & tennis shoes - won't be bringing sandles :0) or a suit - unless they have a jacuzzi :0) I had my ck catchatori (lol) and stopped when full 1.5 cups - head wants more - but stomach doesn't.. I haven't had any real sugar since Sunday after Christmas - so that's over 1 week - Yea me !! Really I have eaten good since last Monday 12/28 - I didn't wait til NY to make the changes - I started the Monday after Christmas. To me NYE isn't about the eating like Christmas is :0) - Well drinking - but - I didn't do that either ;0) I was doing the scrabble w/Phyl on fb - but haven't had time in a while :0) I do that stuff in spurts - just like I use to farm on fb but haven't in ages.. Meredith - Hugs on Andrew's friend - that's so sad... Is sad that pple get so depressed that death seems like the only good option.. My Mom committed suicide - so I am well aware of how it affects the pple left behind.. Yep GF I am the food cop - and I am writing citations... 2010 is the year to get it off - a great way to start a new decade healthy and for us on maintenance the year for us to learn how to do it ;0) Well, I think I am going to have some apple pie yogurt and then to bed.. Sweet Dreams - Til tomorrow - Hugs & Love

    Oh Hugs Karri How many hours did you work today?? Have the stupid english teacher go buy paper and michael will reimburse him.. If you can't sleep at nite then sleep in the day.. Why were you in a dressing room... Can you walk the halls in your apt bldg.. I know you live in a small town do you have a mall that you can leisurely walk in.. It' ok to take pain pills - did you ask about sleeping pills - eat some yogurt for the yeast and let the cookie air out (don't wear panties) well hell it's cold there put on some long johns or sweats w/out undies.. You got the yeast from the antibiotics ... Eat yogurt - oh but you don't like it do you... well have lee get some fruit to put in it or make a shake with it.. Eat - just stay way from bad foods (sugar) but I know that's what you want :0) I would too - I would be soothing myself to the max most likely with sugar.. Oh I wish I was there at least you could cry on my shoulder.. Ya I bet you are sick and tired of being sick and tired... Take tomorrow off - just do it - sleep all day if you can - I know that I can sleep during the day when I can't sleep at night. Hugs Hugs Hugs..... Whine all you want .... We are here and if I could fix it I would... xoxoxo Mom

    YEP I'M HERE Phyl You gotta tell Earl 350 10-15 minutes Tilpia is thinner than my catfish that I cook 350 for 20 Maybe he should defrost it before he cooks it. Take tiny bites and eat very slowly - sometime my spinach comes back up but that's usually cuz I ate too fast and didn't chew.. Candice I had taken a break - I would let a lot slide - but remember we all are back on the band wagon.. Ya I think I would have gotten a little pissy at you go and leave me alone - I would have maybe said fine and booked a plane to Cali - I got a room(so your only cost would be airfare) and our weather is great - No snow:tongue: Isn't that green quilt the one that was on my bed this summer :smile2: Kari GF - I have been worried about you for a while (ever since you started drinking soda's again) I was afraid this was going to happen - I understand how hard it is to get the motivation back - that's the main reason that I have never gotten too far off track cuz it' just to damn hard to get back on - this is why I am always preaching that this is a LIFETIME change - we can't go back to our old ways.. I understand about the weather - that would deter me from going to the gym - Do you have a Wii - Exercise Video's?? Pull them out and 1 hr a day like Candice says really isn't going to cut it and I don't like the lean cusine meals either - that's not real food - it's ok for a meal replacment every now and then but not on a daily basis - you gotta learn to eat real healthy foods in moderation - How's your restriction.. Karla You will figure it out (masters) Remember you need to allow sometime for you... Steph I was cking out the sleeve site - I am an Honorary member Oregondaisy who I know from the 50's thread - convertered too and she says Acevas keeps you 3 days and makes sure you have no leaks and does some special testing - That's who did hers and Wasa sleeve - he is the doc I would go too

Oh back to breakfast - it doesn't matter if it was free or not the only free calories are special occassions like Weddings, Anniversaries & Bdays :smile: Jessica - I found that wearing pants that had a wasit didn't go over well - I was back to work day 6 and wore pants with a button waist - my port site was killing me by the afternoon.. Wear elastic waist or a dress - the port site hurts the longest - about 2 weeks not real pain but discomfort - Ya take it slow - I think you were out and about too long - going to go look at profile so I can see your baby.. Lori - I have an underwriter who is in CO she said it was -5 that's just to freaking cold for me - I can't imagine - I this 26 is like the lowest I have ever experienced.. Julie - Glad you Bro is ok - my X who had the same heart attack/bypass will end up in the ER too with symptoms of a heart attack but it's just gas build up I think.. He drinks too many sodas and not diet.. Well Gang it's 8 - going to go see how dinner is progressing - Chicken Catchatorri (sp like the phonics) Did you know chick thighs (boneless/skinless) have only 10 more calories that Chicken Breast Tenders.. 130 for thights 120 for breast tenders..

    Steph - If I were to go to Mexico - I would go to Wasa's Dr.. Here's the info I found for you gf I like my doc, Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I wasn't thrilled with going to Tijuana so Mexicali was appealing to me. My personal two favorites are Aceves and Rumbaut. Please see my sig link for info on how to research Mexican surgeons. __________________ HOW TO RESEARCH A MEXICAN SURGEON: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f11/resea...s-101-a-66635/ The band got me to goal, the sleeve will keep me there! -132# Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

    Steph I felt so sorry for the twins and one having to leave - but he did well 100 lbs in 2 months.. They looked so sad on TV and I loved that the Blue & Yellow teams have 1 month to work hard and get back on the show.. Oh if Jeff is as big as those twins - he does need some help :0) you know that's said w/love. This season has some big pple - but I don't think exercising till you throw up is good for you - and no way in hell would I take Jillian or Bob yelling at me... I would tell them F off and jump in a freaking lake.. Day one walking at a 7 incline - don't know how long they had to - I know they edit this shit to make things look dramatic - but again they should think of the pple at home watching it and going to try it on their own - very very bad advice IMHO.. Sounds like you did just the right thing with Nick this a.m. - he rather go to school than be bored - see what happens when you stick to your guns.. WTG - Ok going to fb to see pic
