You might get chastied but that's it - and yes I have said oh one bite then that turns into 2 - alot of time I then throw it away - but have been known not too.. I just don't start and it works for me.. My bad - I knew I was forgetting someone!!! Kari sorry !!! This is was I strive for with dinner each night I want to be full - last night we had pizza - Had 1.5 pieces - wasn't full so had some asparugus (sp) and popcorn and watched Slum Dog Millonaire - Excellent Movie ! Yep darling it didn't hurt when you did it cuz of the shot... No more balance board --- How's it feel this morning. I seriousley doubt you have any nutirisional blood issues - you are good about taking all those vitimans. Glad you went back to bed.. !!! Take it easy today

Good Morning Gang Didn't get on the computer last night since DS & Family are here - they swam - we had pizza (1.5 Pieces) - watched slum dog millionaire (EXCELLENT MOVIE) Kath - Mushies Refired Beans are the best with a little low fat cheese on top - and even mashed potatoes - I use instant w/skim milk and no Water to boost the protein.. I did still have restriction at that point so 1/2 cup even 3/4 c isn't bad Meredith - Glad you enjoyed your semeniar - yep after being on lbt you are more informed that most.. I know I impressed my doc w/my knowledge.. Phyl - I really think that you should be able to get the leg plastic sugery covered by insurance if your doc submits it the right way... It is for medical reasons and not cosmetic.. Linda - Even if the scales don't move one week I think our bodies redistribute the fat and we lose inchs even though we don't lose poundage. Isn't it great to say my clothes are to big - greatest nsv !!! Julie - you sound like you are getting stronger everyday... My Mother's day menu - BBQ chicken - Mac salad - Aspauragus - this is for my for the girls - and the boys will have steak and baked potaotes.. Ok I should be on the computer to nite as dil going to meet friends - DS will be watching basketball - if not for sure on Saturday - the kid are going to see the other mom and I will have the house to myself.. Will ck back later...

Darling - You better get in that nap... Hope you are feeling better. Steph - that's what teachers are suppose to do is help the student understand what they are doing - that's teaching !!! Candice there are only 4 original lucky #7 that still post - you - me - phyl & Denise - Yes a few pop in everynow and then but out of like 50+ of us there are only 4 OG'S.... I miss Dmjet - sunshine55 - CC we had 2 cc and someone else with a cc kinda of name - - jackie said she was going to come back on fb she wrote me saying she had to get an unfill - - Linda I wish she would post again - I chat with her everynow and then on fb - Ya when you go back and read it's like wow what happend to this one or that one - heck the lady who started this thread never ever posted again We have the 4 of us our Karri Steph & Karla - that 7 pple who post regularilty on this thread ...

MeMe Oh my Dear - You will get honest opinion here 1st you didn't get enough protein - I am guessing here cuz I don't know what kind of cereal you had or what a chick fili salad is how much chicken and what else was in it and how much dressing you had or how many chips and dip guessing 14 chips & 2 tblspn dip - or if you used butter or not on carrots Guesstimating here BF 165 calores 10 grms pt Peanuts - 100 cal - 5 grms pt lunch 300 calories - 10 grms pt Kashi bar 180 calores - 10 grms pt dinner 200 Cal - 7 grms pt Chips/Dip -300 Calorie - 2 grms pt total for the day Calories 1245 - Pt 44 In my weight lost phase I kept my calories between 800 to 1200 and varied them daily BF 150 - 200 cal - 5-10 Grams Pt Lunch 200 -250 Cal - 28 grms pt Dinner 300 - 350 calories - 28 grms pt Snacks 200- 400 cals 3 to 5 grms of pt for some of those snackes Low end 850 - high end 1200 low end pt 61 = high end pt 70 Again not bad - but not the greatest either (mostly cuz of your dinner and snack that threw you off.) But again I don't know how much you ate was it ff dip - lite dip - or reg sour cream.. and yep as the commercial says - Just do it - Let us know if you got that walk in..

Phyl's ok just talked to her it was short cuz a client came in and I had to get off the phone

Good Morning Gang !!! I know Phyl has Doc appointment today - I will be calling her in a bit (9 am is a good time don't you think) we havent heard from her in a few days and I wasn't on FB yesterday so don't know if she has posted there.. I am getting concerned... Steph - I think it's good for the kids to have someone else chew them out and make them cry - I know with my boys DS & GS its the only time that I could get out of them what was really bothering them... Hugs - I know how hard this is for you - I have done it twice !!! I survived and so will you .. Karri - Did you get some rest last night - how are you feeling today?? Karla - What did you eat for dinner?? Are you going shopping tonite :0) Candice - Start at about page 202 I think - prior to that was mostly us talking about getting banded - I went back a couple of weeks ago - didn't read alot - but some - and I know that I have looked at my little food diaries - and I would write in there about my struggles on some days.. Well gotta get in gear here - cbl :thumbsup:

Good Morning Gang !!! DS got here at 3:15 this morning :thumbup: - got up and gave them all hugs talked for a mintue - then went back to bed but couldn't go right back to sleep I know it was 4 last time I looked at the clock - the alarm goes off at 5 My 5 yr GD is just biting at the bit to go swimming - she was crying to Daddy when I left at 7 you promised to go swimming - I told her it was too early :thumbsup: Julie - Belated Happy Anniversary !! Glad you had a good time last night and got some rest - don't' over do it today... Apples - Have a great time at the lake !!! Don't want to jinx myself - but the scales are finally moving downwards - I know I am obessing about 2 lbs - but I have to or those 2 will turn into 20 - the whole secret imho is to stay on top of your weight - in the past oh it's ownly 5 lbs then 10 then 20 and then we just have too much to lose that we give up.. I know I have my little helper - but that's all it is a helper - I can eat around it - so I have to say on top of the 2 lbs - I have been logging food this week and I truely beleive that's what helping the weight come off plus my bumping up the exercise on Saturday - I will do it again this Saturday - That's going to be my new challenge to myself - on Saturday morning do something diff and work a little harder - push myself... Ok gotta get my butt in gear Oh ya 1Day listen to Julies advice - it is true Relax and try not to let things get to you so much... This is coming from someone who has been there... It just does no good and hurts you.... I did it for years but have mellowed in my old age I guess... Wish I would have done it years ago... Things will get better.. A little time and a lotta prayers!!!! This is comming from us with a few years under our belts - its very very good advice - cuz all this worrying stress anger isn't going to change what's happening at the moment - it only make it worse - CBL - Have a good day ladies :grouphug:

Karri - What a wonderful experience - I love reading your story - had me laughing and crying at the same time - love the songs that came on - how cool was that.. I bet you are exhausted !!!! You should have taken an extra day off - plan for it next year ok... Sure glad DH showed up or he would have had to dealt with me.. Making you walk to work !!! Not good.. Why didn't he respond !!!! to your text or calls.... That would piss me off too.. Hope you are in bed getting the rest you need.. Candice Loved your list - print it and keep it with you - you have accomplished so very much in the last 22 monts - and you have learned so much more about yourself and addiction - one day at a time - you are doing this... Chim Sorry you lost your band - but glad you are doing ok and everything is fine with the baby... Karla - you have permission not to walk tomorrow as long as you promise to make a grocery list of healthy foods and go shopping after work - also do you have a crockpot - throw in a chicken - veggies and by the time you get home dinner is done.. Glad you are eating the ice cream cuz I woul just have to jump on a plane and kick your butt... Well ladies - sorry this is short but it's 8:22 - I need to go eat - Andrew is going out tonite (out of town to a club) so I won't be getting much sleep - and then Joseph & family should be here 4 or 5 a.m tonite/tomorrow whatever you want to call it... They are leaving after DIL gets off work. Heck I didn't sleep worth crap last night and now between Andrew going out and them coming - I guess I won't be getting much sleep tonite either... Phyl where are you - Doc appointment tomorrow?? Who's going home on idol - Kris or allison Ok I am going - Will ttyl

Hi Darjeel Welcome !!!! Ya we are here for you... Ask away we will answer !!! Laura - Love the meaning behind the name - let us know how you group went.. MeMe - 1st step - just do it - put on the tennis shoes and go for a walk - depending on your weight and physical condition will determine how much you can do - but just start slowly and work your way into it . Don't think about how much you hate exercise - think about how good you will feel about yourself for doing it... Hi Kath and Welcome !!!- Thanks for the props - I do think we are a pretty good group if I do say so myself :wub: Ya the first few weeks are hard - We all couldn't wait to get to mushies - but you just got to get inventive with the shakes - Are you on full liquids - for me that included creamed Soups - I made cream of pinto bean Soup (or whatever Beans you likes) make a pot of beans - then scoop the beans out and put them in a blender add a little juice from the beans and puree them add them back to the bean juice/broth - cream of bean soup - I know I got sick of all the sweet shakes (hard to beleive I got sick of sweets :0) I also was able to eat yogurts - sf fudgecicles - sf pudding. Again we know it's hard but you gotta say on the liquids per doc's orders as your band is healing (stiches around the band that anchors it to your stomach) and you want them to heal completely... And yes it does get better - but it's still a struggle for most of us - I'm 22 months out and I still struggles at times with making good food choice and I struggle daily to get all my Water in.. Some days I'm good and others I'm not... We do have an addiction but the more knowledge that we have about our addiction the help of our bands - we can do this - we can be healthy pple... Look forward to hearing from you again... 1Day :thumbup: Hugs on your stress The hair will come back - I know that hard to deal with right now - but get your protein - fat - water and take your Vitamins and do what Meredith said it will come back.. We call them Happy Pills too at my work - it must be an ins pple word - alot of pple at my work are on them - I use to take zolfot but haven't needed them for the last 4.5 yrs.. I wish I could do more than tell you what to do - I wish I could make that cowoker take the candy out of the office - When crap happens it seems to happen all at once - but it will get better - I know that's hard to beleive while you are in the middle of it - but a month from now you will look back on thiis time and be able to take a breath... Hugs and vent away... You say you are an emontional eating - this is a habit that you are going to have to break - plan and simple - or as I said before have low cal foods for when you can't control the urge to eat... You are just going to have to talk to your other person - give her a name and tell her she isn't going to win that You Meredith are in control and you aren't going for the candy you and just going to work thru the stress by taking a walk ifyou can = get up from your desk go to the bathroom lock the door and take a moment for you. Just be glad that a serial killer didn't stop ... You DH knew what was wrong he fixed it - heck that's what they are for :0) :thumbup: Hi Gang Back from the gym worked with trainer tonite - weights/legs Dinner's almost done - Baked Catfish with Cajun seasoning - asparagus and rice My DS called and they should be here around 4 or 5 this morning - the are coming for Mother's Day.. Going to have a house full - So please know that I will be doing my share of venting even though I love them to death - Well it's 8 going to go eat - I will talk to you all in the morning Hugs everyone --- Janet

MeMe1 Yep it worked !!! Welcome !!! Are you banded?? or looking into it ??

Good Morning Gang !!!! Sorry I didn't get back yesterday but went to the gym after work - then Target to get some veggies and when I got home gf called to come by and pickup her jewelry from the jewelry party - and then she said want to go to Kohl's with me - heck it was like 7 by then - but I said ya why not... Now this is very out of character for both of us -we are very rountine pple - Didn't get home til after 9... Watched Idol then to bed ... But for some reason I am not sleeping well - woke up like 3 or 4 times last night... NDPrairel Hugs on your issues - I am in menopause to but lucky don't have any meds - Suggestion find low calorie foods to snack on - 100 c pack popcorn is a life saver for me and increase your exercise. Karri Omg - you made your Mommy cry on this one- how sweet :cool2:- but it's cuz I had a crappy Mom too so I totally understand where you are comming from and I know that's where our food issues come from and I truly wanted you to know that you were loved and that you could let go - I felt your pain and didn't want you to hurt or think these things were your fault - I think we all need a Good Mom in our lives - and I think that God put us all here to help each other - Look at those of us who have stuck around - there is a reason - We are Family !!! Congrats on committing to your 2010 Marathon - You will beat your old time. Muscle repair - I hope you mean rest and that you didn't hurt yourself... Karla -Yes as I just said we are family.. We all have issues, they may not be exactly alike but they all have a common thread - abuse be it mental or physical or both.. I know that we all think we are alone with our problems but we aren't... My GS (Andrew) always seend to start an heart to heart which seemed to turn into an argument at 9 at night. Proud of you for reading labels!!! Sometimes I am in the grocery store for 2 hrs - cuz I am hungry want food - but I always read the lable to see what the serving size is and calories and 99.9% of the time I don't get what ever it is cuz the servicing size vs calories just isn't worth it... Steph - Just keep repeating this too shall pass - Michael's age is the worse - Andrew and I battled weekly if not daliy at that age. and just think you are like 16 yrs younger than I was - heck I was 50 dealing with a 14 yr old - I swear I was going to stroke out some days... Yes he will grow out of it - Andrew and I get along much better - not to say we don't still have fights - but for the most part our house is alot calmer - and he did get through school and I was afaird he wouldn't... So just take a deep breath - and when things get to heated stop and walk away - I read that in some parenting book - don't aruge with them If my Dad was pissed at me - he would always say - we will talk about it in the morning.. Phyl -How the knee - you have dr appt this week (tomorrow right) Candice - Debbie asked about you & G - said to say HI !!! Ok I gotta get to work - I really wanted to say more but - I got stuff to do and this took hr as it is... So will spout off later :0)

Good Morning Gang !!!! Sorry I didn't get back yesterday but went to the gym after work - then Target to get some veggies and when I got home gf called to come by and pickup her jewelry from the jewelry party - and then she said want to go to Kohl's with me - heck it was like 7 by then - but I said ya why not... Now this is very out of character for both of us -we are very rountine pple - Didn't get home til after 9... Watched Idol the bed ... But for some reason I am not sleeping well - woke up like 3 or 4 times last night... Holly - Ya Ah Ha Moment... This is truly a life style change Long - I think I have missed you - Have a great Vacation... Kathy - Good going on the exercise - your body will get use to your new shedule... Meredith - I know how you feel about the phone computer etc - information overload - sometimes it feels good to be with all the tech stuff - even the tv - quite is good... Can't wait to hear when your date will be.. Apples - You are a princess and yes it's about you now and enjoying yourself... Laura - ya aint it frustrating.... Julie - Hugs on the daughters xbf issues - been there done that and yes a good job will help with herself confidence and your gd is most likely having a ball playing with other kids Gail Hugs on your issues - You have to want to do this for you - you have to say you are worth the effort. How's your restriction right now - Remember we have an addiction and it's not an easy thing to overcome... You have to take one day at a time - really one hour at a time - what is happending at home that is so stressful or is it boredom that makes you want to eat. I am the same what - especially after dinner - I want to continue to eat. Sit down make a plan - write down a weeks menu - and stick to that - get the junk out of the house - find low cal snacks - 100 cal popcorn snack packs are my life savers... Eat off the smaller plate. On the exercise issue - don't think about it - just do it - if you think about it - you will come up with all the excuses in the world... Tuesday is one of my cardio days but I do skip it when life happens - yesterday didn't have any thing else to take care of - but I didn't want to go - I wanted to skip - it's getting hot here and I hate being hot.. But - I came home just put on my exercise clothes and went - I didn't give myself a chance to talk myself out of it - I just did it. As to our addiction - do you have insurance at work - will it cover you to see a counsler - I know that most policies will give you at least a few sessions - Have you talked to your doc about your issues - you know you aren't the only one struggling - alot of pple do.. Vaquez - I don't think anyone really knows why it happens - it happens to some and not to other - who knows - but know that it will come back Ok gang need to get this posted so you don't think I have fallen off the face of the earth... TTYL

I HATE COMPUTERS SOMETIMES - IT LOST MY POST FROM LAST NIGHT !!!! I gotta get my butt in gear so this is going to be short :0) Well I can't get to this right now - it's been in the background for 2 hrs now - will respond tonite - I am super busy... But I am here :0) Yes target blue bottel small pill Hey we both work insurance :0) - Apples did too - It's a stressful job to say the least..

Karla - Hugs on the Mom issues - I gotta say though - if this has been a lifetime habit of your family to treat you like shit then I would not be around them. Why set yourself up for that kind of abuse - ya they are your family but if they treat you like shit then they aren't much of one - My suggestion is to not have any contact with them what so ever. If it was an abusive DH or BF - would you stick around - I doubt it.. So why stick around negative pple period even if they are family. I'm an orphan now - My Mom died when I was 15 (suicide) and my Dad & Stepmom died 17 yrs ago - My Mom's mom - was great to me but so negative - she would cry about my GP miss treating her - when he'd been dead for 35 yrs - come on now - I would tell her if he was such a bad man then you should be happy he's dead - why are you crying about it now... Gf Stand up for yourself - I know that after years of this kind of abuse it will be hard - but if I were you I would tell your Mom to go jump in a lake - I would say if you feel that way about me (wish you weren't born or dead) then I will be out of your life along with my kids - I am a grown women and you nor anyone else is going to talk to me in this manner. If an when you want a relationship with me then we can talk - but I am no longer your whipping board. I think that if you take yourself out of these sitituations you will start feeling better about you... I too am a muncher at nite - so budget your calories to compensate for this. Make sure the kitchen is stocked with healthy foods - but again becareful not to over do as even healthy food is fattening when you eat too much of it.. We all have out pity parties - but we have to put a limit to them - have it for one day then - pull up those bootstraps and move forward - we can't change the past - its done over with gone - all we can do is go forward and do our best to make the changes needed to improve our lives.. Phyl - I was watching the weather channel last night and say that both you and Karri are getting rain... Well ya it's warmed up here - but we have had tons of wind - which you know how much I dislike it.. and looks like it's going to be here for a while... Hugs on the coldness - and I bet it's not helping that knee problem one bit - Glad you are going to the ortho - keep us posted on that.. Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful Mother's Day with your family.. Can you do a bike - I know pple say it's easy on the knees (omg I am having a moment of dejuve - I feel I have typed this before :0) I know that they have some chair exercises out there - google it and see what you come up with - moving is key they say that pple who figgit lose more weight - so tap your toes move those arms - it should help some.. And on that lady huging you and wanting to cry - Well GF you are that kind of friend - You make pple feel special and loved and we all need pple like you in our lives.. Karri Glad you made it home safe and your fill went well.. I bet you are exhausted but elated at the same time.. I ck'd fb last night to see how you were doing as -I had a problem with LBT as a breaker had flipped and when I went outside to flip back I forgot my computer was on - then forgot my password got locked out had to reset which took like 30 minutes so that's why I didn't post here last night Ok I gotta get to work girls - I will CBL Karla - remember you are no bodys door mat any longer ok... That's your new mantra !!!

Hey Gang Sorry - I started a post earlier - but got a call on a big claim so had to call it into the company and then it was time to leave as I had trainer tonite - got home my little angel made a mess - had to clean that up before I left.. Came home got the kitchen & garage cleaned up - tomorrow's trash - and just now sitting down.. Apples - My doc originally said flinstone but then changed it to Centruim chewables, then a sublingual b12 and calicum citrate chewables - I am terrible about taking vitamins... When I did the commercial they gave me a gift bag with lapband vitamins from bariatric advanage (watermelon) and cinnimon chewable calicum - I like both but only take them every now and then (they are on my desk at work) especially we I see I am brusing... In the past(prior to banding) when I couldn't sleep I would take about 3 or 4 vit B complex and it would help me sleep (one of the b's is a natural tranquilzer) Since I was in the dumps I got som B complex and B12 vitamins they are small (especially the b12) so no problem swallowing and I have been taking my vit at work more often. Last yr when I had my blood test my Thiamain (sp) was low.. I love the INC capri jeans - and they do fit well and there was nothing else to get - so thought I would have a spare - plus I like the dark blue jeans not the faded ones - remember when we were kids - you bleached your jeans to get that worn out look - Glad you had a good time at the lake!!! Susan - Your doc will tell you when it's ok - as you are going to find out all our doc give diff instructions some are the same but some are totally diff - makes no sense to me - but that's what I realized with all the pple I have talked to here - I got the ok to exercise after I think six weeks but not to do any crunches for a while till my port site healed completely - I did the treadmil only for the 1st 8 months - I would get on the weight machines every now and then but rarely - March 08 I got a trainer and now do 2 days a week weights and 2 days cardio.. How did your class go... Julie - I agree with Apples - your GD should be with a sitter - its just too much for you right now - you have to heal and get your strenght back - But I want you to eat the protien first - I always do that I may eat my rice before my veggies some times - but I alway eat meat 1st .. OneDay - What do you wear if you don't wear shirts or dresses - you are a hair dresser right?? I still wore dresses and blouse but I work in an office I would look for that dress or blouse - get is a size smaller or even 2 and by this summer you will be wearing it...

I forgot - Well I would still complain to someone !!!! Karla - I am going to kick your butt - YOU ARE NOT A LOSER DON'T TALK THAT WAY ABOUT YOURSELF !!!! Ok GF you need some serious intervention on your issues... If you talk that way to yourself - you are going to thnk that way and be that!!! Let it go - come on now you are a grown woman - you work hard, you are a single mom, Why in the F are you a loser to your xdh - hell he's the fricking loser for letting you go... Come on now.. There is no reason to be ashamed of not having shit loads of money - You are a teacher - you work at the nursery - do you have a gambling or drug habit that we don't know about or maybe even shopping - Where's your DH with the check for the kids.. You gotta work on no letting other pples crap bug you - think to yourself who owns the problem them or me - if its them then let it go - you can't do anything about that - the only person you can control is you and how you react to crap... Yes each day when you post here - before you post go log in your food - that's an order - ok... I can't stress enough on this issue how important it is - just cuz you aren't logging doesn't mean they don't count (calories) Aren't you the least bit competitive ??? If I were you I would show these pple whom you feel inferior to - that you can do this - that you had major surgery and that you can control what you do with it - you just have to prove to yourself that you can do this for you!!!! I have issues with what's left of my family but it's sure not being inferior - I have never felt inferior to my bros & sis - I guess for me even fat I had a big ego and alot of self confidence. Gotta say I have a little more now - it's cuz I am not ashamed of my weight anymore and am very proud of what I have done to get it off.. Ok on the party - each day assign a task to each of the kids and yourself - it will get done - do the stuff that needs done the most and is most visable to visitors - and don't worry about the stuff they can't see and if it doesn't get all done so what - it's about celbrating your daughters graduation.. Yep Kari - farming 2 farms - 2 pathwords, 2 parking wars and 2 possum and lbt 2 thread and sometimes the 50 thread... Can we all say transfer addiction - better than eating :0)

Karla - you need a fill dear the food cop here really wants to chastise you ... but I know that you worked your butt off below... But gf stay away from the soda please... You are just beginning your journey and all these treats already... Darling none of that crap works - period end of story - the only thing that works is eating healhty - exercising - remember you got banded to lose weight... Karla - How old are your kids - I forget - can't they help you get the house ready and the yard work.. We all have issues with our families of some sort - so don't fret on that issue.. Denise Glad you had fun - love your new fb picture it's great pple are stealing your moms clothes - omg - then take one set and leave them there - when does she get to come home I would be talking to someone high up on that issue... Ya alot of my friends clicked the aci berry ads and the were stupid enought to use their atm cards and not cc when ordering and caught all kinds of grief - and the only think lost was the $$$ out of their bank accounts....

Good Evening Gang... Yesterday went and got new tennis shoes - looked around diff shoe stores tj maxx marshells macy's (got a pair of skimmers and capris that i already have but love them and had $25 credit plus 25% off and it was only good til monday) and 2 bras at penny's again had a $10 coupon that expires tomorrow and my tennis shoes - Oh the back of my knees were killing my yesterday afternoon - had 1 enchillada & Beans for dinner. today didn't do much up at 6:30 showered planted some flower seeds - was mostly on FB as my lbt daughter karri from my lucky #7 ran her 1st full marathon - 5:15 minutess - this is from a girl who was 100+ heavier 21 months ago.. Her DH was keeping us posted there on her progress.. I have my last load in the washer - made a pot of Navy beans for lunch for the next week and had some steak for lunch.. Linda you did great on your exercise - how cool to be able to watch the graduations - I know now adays they limit # of pple who can attend.. Well - it' 6:30 to late for a nap - but I am sorta sleepy - been reading Debbie macomber light house seires - like living in someone elses life for a while - I use to read at least one book a week but for the last 2 yrs haven't read as much - I guess I got burned out - but seem to be enjoying it again.. well there went the dryer - will cb in the morning Hope eveyone had a good weekend... Mothers day next weekend... hugs

Can't say it any better than that !!! Welcome Sue, Dot & Vegas !!!

Oh that's interesting - I don't really run - can jog for like for a song or 2 if I'm feeling particulary strong - my problem is my brain tells me I can't do it but my body can. I did the stairs for 30 minutes level 6 did like 97 and 2 miles flights burned like 228 calories and was sweating like a pig - it was hard for the last 15 minutes - I just kept telling myself 3 songs you can do 3 more songs... Then I got on the treadmil inclines 4-6-9 3.0 t 3.7 for another 2.5 miles - said I burned another 225 calories So that's 4.5 miles - I was going to try for the 5 - but I was pooped... I wonder what it will say once you start working with weights that will be very interesting... Ok I gotta get in gear - Candice where are you girl - I hope nothing bad is going on.... Remember wedding france and us.... Ok going to go vaccum my room.. cbl Karri safe trip..

Good Morning Gang Back from the gym - I had an AH HA moment - I was taking the advice that I give all of you - I pumped up my exercise. I did 30 minutes on the stair machine and was sweating like a pig by the time I got off - it said 2 miles and 228 calories 97 flights of stairs - did level 6 on something then I went and got on the treadmill and did another 2.53 miles burned another 220 calories - incline 6 to 8 and speed 3.5 to 3.7 I'm pooped - but feel good at the same time.. Ya he's right in away - I have always said they banded our tummies not our brains !!!! I am going to have to ck out the brain surgery - just think if they can do that and the band sleeve or what ever - we would have it made in the shade... Linda great nsv on the drivers license pic !!!! Ok it's windy and I need to go clean my room do some wash get dressed - I need new tennis shoes... So CBL -

I don't know how I miss so much on FB - I saw that dh was fiddling with blackberry and saw x men Ok I love your tattoo - turtle... That's so cute and I dont think it crazy or werid.... Andrew got one - and now he is suppose to be getting it lazered off.. but it's on his neck - I think I reported here but never told any of my orther friends cuz I was embarrased about it - He said he was going to get it taken off - his stepdad is paying - I love tattoos but they need to be in approratie places.. Ok I am now satisfied that you are going to be fuelled enought for your race... I am so excited for you and I understand why you wil cry.. But they will be tears of joy.. Ya I could imagine how much musice it takes - I get tired of listening to the same songs on my ipod and I only use it twice a week... I need to download some more to it.. Just know that we alll are cheering you on tomorrow... and will be cking fb often !!! What time does it start.. Well good morning everyone - I didn't turn off the alarm yesterday (on purpose) so I am up at 5 so I can be at the gym at 7 - I think I need to pump up my cardio to burn those calories - so I am going to try the stair master thingie - I have done in once before but I like my treadmil cuz I can groove better on it - I have fast songs mostly on mine.. Going to clean and go get some new tennies... Well I am constipated again !!! I must must do better with my water !!!!!! Ok off to get more cofffe - cbl

Darling Ya bring it - I tried Joseph Wii when there for easter - it was fun but not if you are playing by yourself - I am terrible on driving and and my Brooke the 5 yr old kicked my butt in boxing - I did ok in golf - but again it's much more funner (love my english glad you all are math & science girls cuz I know my engilish would be killing you all) with a family ... I would like to try the exercise part... Ok well you know we will all be on fb on Sunday... Not crazy on the tattoo as far as I am concern - what is it you are getting??? The only thing I would suggest and this is just my personal preferrence (remember I have a tattoo on my ankle and my nose is pierced) is that you get it on your shoulder or ankle or even the side of your thigh since you are wearing shorts to run.. Are you getting your carbs in for the stored energy and those gooey things to eat while running and plenty of water... and plenty of sleep... Be careful - warm up and please please don't over do it - I am so proud of what you are doing Karri - You gotta be so physiced right now... So that's why DH has blackberry and learning to use it on FB

Susan glad you came over - No one has to be invited :0) just jump in !!! 2 weeks pre op do you get any food or just the shakes ? I was lucky only had 1 week preop and I got fish and salad for dinner... What's your post op diet going to be like.. #1 rule - the words hope try think are taken out of your vocabulary and replaced with WILL AND KNOW !!! I am a beleiver in postitive affermations - I will learn to eat healthy - not I will try - cuz your are leaving room for failure.. It's not like we don't all fall off the wagon once or twice - but this is why I say not to make treats off limit - just limit them as Apples says - no unplanned treats...
