OMG WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE !!!!!! Candice so glad you are enjoying yourself !!!!! Sounds wonderful !!!!! Thank God Kathy saved you !!!! Was that after the wine :0) !!!! WTG on that exercise - ya when in Italy - gotta have a little pasta !!!!!

Drive by just reading post between files. I don't think I have been to an Ikea.. Don't think we have one here in the desert.. LOL Lori - I haven't even been on your butt about exercising - So I guess I'm on your shoulder though :0) That's good !!! Laura - I hope June 10th - would work for you - If this is the final date I would come in on Friday and Leave Monday Morning - that would give us 2 days.. Melissa - Hope DS is ok - Girl - Yep you are killing yourself a slow death w/your diabities.. So tell that DH that he HAS TO HELP and not bring the junk in and you have to exercise some self control - one step ok... Eva - WTG on being recommitted.. Apples - Lov Ya.... Charlene you walked to DD house - WTG Well gotta get back to work ..

Am I crazy - I don't see a post from Phyl??? Good Morning - My keyboard wasn't working this morning - mouse did - it takes forever to reboot - so just waited til I got to work to post.. Hugs on having to go back to work today.... Sound like you got some food in yesterday - just be careful.. Not much to report either - went to bed 9:30ish - Think I slept all night - woke up to alarm at 5 - it's cold Yep as we get older the time just flys by. Well computer or this site seems to be having delayed reaction - I type and nothing and then my words pop up.

Good Morning Gang - My keyboard at home would work - the mouse did but not the key board and to reboot takes forever ;0) Charlene - I have mentioned somewhere if I take my calcium (which has mag in it) before I go to bed at night the next morning - I have no problem with the tmi issue ;0) - I loved the whole as the experts - I watched it last nite - I think I am going to take my calcuim home (i have it here at work) and make sure to take it before bed every nite - cuz that's my NY resolution - Take my Vitimans - took 1/1 - 1/2 and this morning !!! Sandy - It doesn't matter if you are banded or not - there are plenty of pple who lose 100+ without the benefit of the band and truly its about making changes in our eating & exercise period. I don't care if you have the band or not - as we all know there are plenty of bander - bypass pple who may lose the weight but gain it all back - why - they didn't make the changes.. WTG on getting back on track... Charlene - I don't think your oatmeal is going to kill your weight loss plan - LOL on warming you up - plenty of other foods that would have done that LOL eggs are hot too ;0) You just can't have starches at every meal.. Well, I got to get to work - sorry about the drive by - it's cold here too... Tina - Hugs hope things get better..

Ok June 11th???? Cheri - so we look for homewood sutie in Thronton IL ???? Meredith - I know what you mean - I don'y listen to the cussing and too much sexing stuff - but like some of if ;0) I know what you mean about not being in the mood for it.. Just watched an old b/w movie with Carey Grant - Broiled my last lobster tail - and salad for dinner..

Karla - it's just you and me :0) Phyl traveling - Candice Traveling and no she never gave up date on her Mom.. You better be careful - when are you suppose to go back to work Glad you got the house back... How did the sipping water go... The black vomit isn't good - you can't ignore that -

Good Afternoon Gang OMG Eva - how in the hell could anyone ever treat you like a brainless idiot - they are the idiots !!!! I'm freezing still ... 56 degrees - I think I need more layers. Sandy - WTG on your walk Meredith - The JayZ interview - is about how he made it - a kid w/nothing from the projects who doesn't have a college education - to a mogel in more than one area besides Rap.. I personally like those kinds of stories - but again I do like some rap - hip hop & rb music.. I did hear on the news that Oprah's audience is mostly 50 yr olds so they aren't sure how the channel is going to go over w/ the rest of the world - There will be apiece of Diane Sawyer - I love her... Meals - Well I don't really do alot of freezing - I like fresh made meals - and most of my meals can be cooked in 30 minutes - Fish takes 15 minutes - veggies 15 - rice 20 - from start to finish 30 minutes - I eat the same things most nights - one pot wonders (meat onion bell pepper jalepeno - garlic - tomato sauce & a veggie - usually zuchinee) again make enough for lunches for the week - cook a big pot of Soup on the weekend it will feed you for a few days and you can freeze it too - and you can always have a salad with chick on top. I varied calories by days - mostly my Snacks - would have more or less of something.. That's what I had for lunch - then some popcorn.. June ????? Sounds good to me... Shouldn't be too humid - Cheri - what town do you live in again so I can go look up the homewood stes Well back to the couch & my book and blanket - heater just came back on it's 3 in the after noon... Heater in the middle of the day - unheard of here in the desert..

Hugs Hugs Hugs

Hugs Hugs Hugs

Back from the gym - got bills paid - it's freaking cold - it's 65 in the house... To all of you who are recommitted to your band GOOD FOR YOU... Nope Charlene - I'm not giving up on anyone - I know that for me I have been very lucky that I had my AH HA moment the day I went to make the cream gravy while on mushies stage... I said to myself that day - did you have major surgery to continue to eat unhealthy... No I didn't... I was very very afraid of maintenance - we all have gotten the weight off before but it always comes back on - Again - FINALLY got that this is NOT A DIET - But a real LIFETIME LIFESTYLE CHANGE .. I know that everyone here has heard me PREACH these words over and over again - Why cuz it's what I want you all to realize... Again I am no diff than the rest of you - I have days that I want nothing more than to make homemade chips dripping in grease to eat with bean dip loaded with a block of cheese - There are days that I don't want to go to the gym.. But why do I go - Cuz if I want to keep this healthy body - I have to go to the gym - I have to have my snack pack popcorn instead of the chips/dips - My old life got me fat - it kept me fat - it limited my life - it lowered my self esteem - Have you seen that cruise commercial - that says Wow Mom caught air - We that's me - except it's Wow Grandma caught air !!!! And that's what I love so very much that I can zip line - I can scuba dive - I can go para sailing - I can walk for miles - I can do something as simple as clean house - I can do anything now a days !!!! I can live my life and am no longer limited due to my weight !!! I want this for all of you - You don't know how bad that I want you all to feel as good as I do... I love you all and want the very best for you all - want you to know that you deserve it - you are worth it - you just have to do the work - but once you get in the groove it's not that hard - just quick making so many excuses as to why you can't - cuz yes you can !!!

Karla - I think you may need to go to the ER - or get unfilled - something is going on.. Black stuff not good could be blood.. Take yourself to the ER - if no one knows how to deal w/your port - have them call your band doc - you need it ck'd out. TODAY !!!! Sorry that everyone is sticking around so long - a couple days is enough for me - hell if Andrew is here for more than a few hours it gets on my nerves I saw on FB that Phyl hit the road at 5:55 a.m. this morning - that's very early for her - They are making a few stops on the way - I think they will be here Sat or Sunday...

I guess I'm junking up the thread now ;0)

Apples - Charlene - Can't commit yet. You decide Great - prefer the April dates that Cheri mentioned, prefer no holiday weekends, prefer spring/early summer vs later summer/fall Cheri - April 2-11 I'm off work so that's two weekends. Can do it weekends of June 11 & 18. May be available July 16 or first two weeks in August. Waiting to find out when my niece schedules her wedding. Laura - LauraK - Julie - Phyl - Tina - Eva - Janet - Open I can go w/the flow (except for 7/15) Linda - Joyce - Sandy - I am open to anytime Jodi - Melissa - Jessica Meredith- May, or spring/early summer is best. Might be going with my aunt to FL in April and summer time gets crazy around here. But, will be able to adjust schedule to fit it this trip. Chris Candice - She's gone for 2 weeks Am I missing anyone ???? hit reply - or hit multi then add reply it should quote this post - bump

Good Morning Gang - My doggies are letting me sleep later in the a.m. plus we are going to bed a little later too ;0) got to sleep in til 7:15.. Getting ready for my 2nd cup of coffee after this post ;0) Food Yesterday (if I can remember correctly) Ck thigh - tamale - 1/2 sf ice cream - thin slice of lemon cooler cake - popcorn - Threw the cake away this morning - threw the brownies away yesterday today is 1/2 (happy birthday Aunt Dot) back to healthy eating - Will have fish/veggies for dinner Ck salad for lunch and bf got eggbeater yesterday (that's why I made salsa and I like it on my fish too) Sandy - Nope I can't say I have gotten complacent in my journey - what pushed me the most is that the statistics say that banders will only lose 50 to 60% of their excess weight - That's saying something about my mental capabilities. Cuz imho I got the tool and the brain was the part were the real problem lies.. I changed my brain - You are right about your body changing even though you aren't losing weight - mine has changed w/o lose anymore weight - the muscles change... I won't let myself get to complacent cuz if I did I would eat too much and gain - but gotta say for the most part my body craves healthy food more often than junk and I exercise - Don't always want to but do it cuz I know that if I quit - what will happen.. You may be at your happy weight - bmi charts aren't 100% correct - you could weigh 150 and still be fat - they just go by weight not your physical condition - I take them w/a grain of salt. I have gym at 10 - then off to get dog/cat food and come home an pay bills ;0( Work tomorrow and no more 3 day weekends til February - But think I'm taking off 1/28 as the kids are coming for a visit.. Happy - Blessed Sunday Charlene - I use Wen - I don't use shampoo - I had sample of baby grace - Pure Grace is my FAV - and Amazing grace is my #2 I use to be a perfume whore ;0) - but to tell you the truth now a days I only like Pure Grace .. My nose has changed..

Bumping so it doesn't get lost

Lori - I watch what I eat almost 24/7 and treats are rarely unplanned.. Nope you can never be complacent - but hopefully you will get to a place where you don't have to worry about it 24/7 - cuz you are eating healthy 98% of the time Yep your move had to be hard especially with the baby coming - but hell girl you can fly when ever you want - so it's no biggie.. The baby on the way is just that much more reason to get back to the basics.. Hugs & Love I really am getting off the computer now ;0)

Great You are a fab dresser and a beautiful woman I think being a mentor would be good for you - to help you get back on track... How's your restriction?? I know that during your weight loss phase - you were pretty tight - if I remember correctly only able to eat 1/2 cup .. You deserve to be healthy and happy.. Cheri - I don't think we want to come to close to when you leave for vacation - I know I have tons of things to do before I leave Tina - come back an junk up the thread.. Ok it's 9 - I think I am turning off the computer - want to read some - but when it's on - I keep coming back to see who's posted ;0) -but if I turn it off then it takes too long to reboot up - I say forget it - it can wait till tomorrow..

Ok as usually trying to get everyones schedules to blend it going to be hard. So lets do this - I am going to put your name down - quote the post and insert when you can make it to Chi Town.. Apples - Charlene - Great - Cheri - Laura - LauraK - Julie - Phyl - Tina - Eva - Janet - Open I can go w/the flow (except for 7/15) Linda - Joyce - Sandy - Jodi - Melissa - Jessica Meredith Chris Candice - She's gone for 2 weeks Am I missing anyone ????

Well just cking in - Karla - when do DD leave ??

Ok here's me junking up the thread - QVC - apples - i have a million diff body washes - lotions - but I love Philosophy - it is a very very good product... I think I am going to order it and I need some more fake peanut butter to ..

You will be showing everyone that you are SNOWBIRDS LOL.... That's how we tell pple from cold country - they are in shorts and sandals when we are in snow boots, long pants & jackets !!!!! Plus they are normally tanner than us - Like right now Phyl normally is darker than me - cuz she's out and about in the sun

Melissa - you are 100% right ;0) about junking up the thread Tina - Junk up the thread all you want - that's what it's here for and your post can be as long as you like.. The junking up the tread is a joke about Apples - when she's home she's always posting - you will find the same thing w/me sometimes - I work and sometime don't get on as much - to busy at work and then some evening just not enough hours after gym - dogs - dinner - and some down time for myself.. Heck you will find me twitter updating some time - oh I'm washing clothes - oh I'm cleaning out the fridge - nonsense sometimes :0) I think you need us LOL and we need to give you our experiences - I think Jessica is our biggest good example of who really has changed from a caterpillar to a butterfly - we all have some issues in our lives and sharing our thoughts and feeling is what this is all about - it's about us our lives and all the crap we have to deal with... LauraK - So glad you had a good time and even some non calorie dessert ;0) ... Love your DS text - mine would be having a shit fit he thinks he's my Daddy... Once when I was at Phyl's house for dinner - he called I said I'm at Phyls for dinner - who in the heck is Phyl - I said slow down little boy - I'm grown but for your info it's my friend and Phyl is a girl ;0) Well had a ck thigh - it smelled so good - had to have one :0) will have salad later... Linda isn't it funny how our bodies crave healthy foods - I know mine does..

Oh I have to post this before I go - had QVC open - clicked on it and what do I find http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.A214820.desc.philosophy-new-years-resolution-live-laugh-learn-gel-tri LIVE LAUGH LEARN - CLOSE TO OUR NEW MANTRA ;0) WE SHOULD ALL ORDER SOME LOL
