Apple - No I haven't - I am looking forward to it - I should be at goal by then so I will have tons of fun - I am bringing a big suitcase - it will be empty going over - but coming home I will expect it to be FULL Chell - Good luck on your visit - seems like you have to go thru a lot of Sh*t - I was lucky I had surgery in about 6 weeks after my 1st consultation. Denise - I am just sort of skeptical sometime - And as you know - Phyl will help you - She is a kick in the butt - she will write a great profile - Now I know who to turn to if I ever want one.. I know this isn't the single thread but you can keep us posted on that front :tt2: Carol - Prior to banding i could not have done it (the mall) don't have bad knees but my feet would have been killing me even in tennies.. World traveler - I wish I love traveling and seeing diff places - I have done a few cruises (8) - last one Feb 07 which was at my heaviest - and then took my son & family on one in 05 and was about 230 then - it was embarssing getting on the horse - I had to get help :tt2: but ya I am back in the groove of getting out and doing things - we say the weight doesn't make a diff - but it really does - I would have never called gf and said lets go to laughlin for the weekend - I would have made all these excuses - and the Mall trip is so us Lucky #7 can meet (I already know Phyl cuz she winters here in the desert) - I know that on another band site they are having a convention - LBT should have one - wouldn't that be cool - we could all go and meet each other... Phyl you are a doll - Yep you will write a good one - Now I know who to hit up if I ever decide to get back in the game. Ok it 8:42 and I haven't eaten yet and 5 a.m will be here before I know it. So Night Night and talk to you all tomorrow..

PHYL CONGRATULATION 49.9 BMI WAY TO GO GIRL !!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU :huh2::thumbup::thumbup: Kari I am a donor on my drivers license and living will. Jackie I just shake my head at all your cleaning - I bet we could eat off your floors if we came to your house You are too funny about your cleaning - but gotta say it's better than the alternative:tongue2: Ruby I am with you I NEVER want to be too tight again that was the freakin pitts. You are still healing from your surgery and once you really back into your exercise it will come off and we don't have any more holidays for a while - at least Memorial day isn't about candy - just bbq and we do need our protein We will just have to say no to the potato salad etc - or use Phyl's 3 bite rule. Karri Running to the store OMW you are now our residential health nut:lol: I wear my lipo in the box everday (spanx type garment just stronger) I feel nake without it.. Phyl It's so nice to have you back again posting . Ok gang it's 8:15 and I haven't eaten yet - On trainer days I don't get home til after 6 and tonite stopped at the store (I drove:lol:) Came home fed the dogs got on here and then paid bills - where does the time go.. It's time for me to eat and unwind - so til tomorrow - sweet dreams everyone - oxoxox

I would be freaking PISSED OFF - WTF - they replaced your port and some tubing not your band your band has been there for 8 freakin months. I give you a pass on the M&M tonite - you deserved them !!! Linda glad you are feeling better !!! - I want my bat wings fixed.. Phyl - I think Jackie plays the WII machince - Yes it counts for exercise Karri why is your back hurting?? Ok - I will make my reservation tomorrow - I gotta pay bills tonite Since I never did it last night I had a nice complement from my trainer today - he said I looked thiner (well I did have on all black and on Monday had a neon orange top) but I will take the completement - He worked my little butt - tomorrow is my weigh in day.. Well I gotta pay bills I will be back later..

At my support group - it was suggested to suck on ice chips.

I would if I was a great writer - are you sure you really get 3 months free of do you have to just pay a prorated price - install of $100 for a yr you only have to pay $70 and if you don't like it after 3 months you can cancel and get your $$ back - I am distrust full - there is always the fine print. Did you ask the single thread people - I know that you use to post there too and I think some of the girls or guys over there might be a good choice since if I remember right they were on a lot of diff dating sites.. and they would know how to write it up...

On the DH issue in July - Phyl's Dh is comming so if Step & Jackies come the guys can hang out together. We should get them talking now so they will know each other Excellent dissertation Karri !!!! I love the will power reference - yes damn it we need will power even with the band - We are not that friggin weak we really aren't - we don't give ourselves enough credit. On some other thread - I posted that I kept a food diary counted calories and pt grms - got response I refuse to diet - I don't do those things !! My reply - was I wasn't dieting I was eating healthy and the reason for the food log, and counting was that for me it was a learning tool - cuz as a fat person I didn't know what a portion size was - to me a portion was that foot long sandwich not 1/4 of that sandwich - so I needed to count calories weigh and measure food until I learn what a correct portion was and hell I never knew that there was 7 grms of pt in every ounce of meat and if you don't count how are you going to know if you are getting enough protein?? Ok I gotta get back to work - ttyl :tongue:

I eat all those things !!!

Steph. I didn't even know who Trace was prior to the apprentice - but OMW that is one big hunk of a man and i just am in lust with him... Ya you can come:) I think the homewood suite - it's right across the street - I think chim has already rsvp her room - I gotta go back a few pages and double ck - I guess I need to rsvp to and book flight soon...

Hey Gang back from the dentist - I did pretty good for not having my teeth cleaned in over 5 yrs :confused: Gums are good.. Steph - Enjoy your time off with your kids while they are young - I have worked since I was 17 (well back to school & worked in the afternoons) I did have about the 1st yr & half at home with my son. Congrats on breaking the 170s :wink_smile: My doc scales is about 4 lbs heavier but I don't go by his weight I go by my scale. Linda - Congrats on the little grandaughter to be - they are such joys... Ok I gotta get some work done ck ya all later..

Life you don't have to wait that long :thumbup: I think I waited 6 weeks by then my incisions were 100% healed.. That's all you need to worry about.. Heck I live in the desert was banded 7/17 - and its hot here in the summer I couldn't wait until I could get back in the pools - plus it's good exercise :tt2:

Chim I am still asleep at 4:14 a.m. I don't get up til 5 a.m and that's 8 your time :thumbup: YEA!!! We are up an running... :tt2::thumbup::frown::thumbup::frown: Well, how is everyone this mornng - I got to work a little early cuz i have to go get my teeth cleaned @ 8:15 - and as usual the first place I come is here once I get signed it - OMW we have like 2 diff sign ons and it takes forever to get going in the mornings - well not really but you know we all want instant gratification now a days. Karri - I have been a little tight too lately - it's so funny sometimes I feel like I am loosing up and then the next time I eat - I am tight... I only got about 635 calories yesterday and not enought protein - so I am drinking one of my clear protein drinks this morning and will make sure I eat more... Chim - I really do love having a trainer - mine is a guy - x-body builder not bad on the eyes either :eek: omw I guess with the lbs coming off I am looking at men more - when I said I have sworn off of them. Well I guess I was just in denial - cuz I was fat no one would be interested and now that I am not as fat (don't know if I will ever consider myself a skinny chick) my eyes are cking out the guys.. But again - I don't know if I want all the drama in my life - that comes with relationships.. Well lets say I am not shutting that door forever - Karri does your DF have an older brother - Oh I guess I should say an available father or uncle. I forget your age at times :eek: I am old enought to by your mom not sis :eek: Linda - how is your band when you fly? Denise (athinerdenise) says that hers tighten up for about 2 days??? Ok well I got do some work before I leave in about 15 minutes - so I will ck back when I get back..

Hey Gang - I have p.m. Alex again - I p.m. him at 2:40 today telling him our thread was broke - everyone p.m. him - maybe he will get it fixed We can use this thread until ours gets fixed.... I gotta start dinner - will be back.. Miss you all..

Ok got the dogs fed - GS went to taco bell - I have my fish cooking... I haven't been too good with Breakfast lately - I need to go to the store - today one of my insured asked me to lunch - I had never met her before just talked on the phone for 5 yrs - She doesn't know I am banded she was the first person who I have eaten with who didn't know - it was weird cuz I was eating so slow - she didn't notice as she ate 2 soft tacos and I ate 1/2 of the taco a few bites of the Beans - So for you who haven't told - I could see how it's hard - all my freinds know so when i stop they all look at me are you ok - ya I'ms just a little stuck :tt2: I can't say I eat on a time schedule - breakfast when ever - usually around 9 ish - always noon for lunch on the weekdays - dinner is usually 7:30 - 8 p.m. most nights - Weekend are when ever I am hungry - I ususally don't eat breakfast on the weekend - cuz I am out and about - usually just dinner and evening Snacks.. If I ate at 6 p.m. I would be hungry or looking for food from head hunger by 8 - As peaches indicated (i don't know if it was here or 50 thread) that the night she had fish she was hungry a couple hours later... It's not just that it's my whole nite time eating thing - I know when my demon hours are so I just fix it so that I can feed those demons during the hours that the want to be fed and stay within my calories for the day.. Today all I have had was that 1/2 taco and 1/2 beans - I had a dentist appt after work - got my new bridge it feels good.. Expensive but you gotta have teeth :frown: Can't say I am really hungry - I cleaned the kitchen - tried to Iron this skirt from coldwater creek that came today (a lady I work with gave me a 40% coupon) omw - it's gorde or pleated and i spent an hour on it and now my back is killing me - I was pissed this afternoon when I could get our old thread - Wanted to see what Phyl said - I was busy at work so didn't get a chance to ck as much as I usually do... Yes this is a healthy transfer addiction - better than my shopping :eek: Ok gotta ck my dinner - gs just gave be a bit of chick quesidlilla from taco bell -it was good - see i wasn't hungry till i had that bite now i want to eat - food really is an addiction for me - once i start I can't stop (well yes with the band I stop - but pre band I didn't - this is why for me it's such a great tool.. Ok - I am out here for the night - Sweet Dreams everyone - Talk to you all tomorrow... xoxox Janet P.S. What am I the unofficial leader of the lucky#7 - phyl - jackie and Karri all got in contact with me about our thread being broken -:frown: Thank you guys for loving me - It really made me smile Well, I fixed our problem - we have a spot again - :thumbup:

That's not good news :thumbup: Us Lucky # 7's are meeting at the Mall of America in July - Well there still always drinking :tt2:

Candice I haven't been there for years - I imagine it's changed alot - I am just the jet setter - going to laughlin then meeting our lucky #7 in July... and maybe Vegas in June it that pans out... I love this weight loss - can't wait to see how I fit in an airplane seat - I did fit before but it was tight not really comfortable -

Yep - we aren't perfect - and this whole thing takes a lot of pratice - Just focus - this battle is more mental than phyiscal imho - you can do it - just gotta get your mind wrapped around it.. Sure glad that you didn't eat baked beans & yogurt :puke:

Yep yesterday I watched all these videos s song all about me - city girls love country boys - I've got my game on - I LOVE THIS MAN - you can also go to CMA website and see them too... Denise I am with you on the country but it's not the same country that my Mom listened to - I hated hee haw and roy clark.. I am a little country my Mom was from Texas - so got some of those southern genes - Back when line dancing was popular - we use to go to a bar in Cat City on tuesdays that taught it - we use to have alot of fun..

Phyl - Hugs again this morning - Have a safe trip home - Congrats on making your Exercise challenge - you go girl you are doing better than me. Mango - I am not much into celeberities either - but their is something about him - that gets those hormones going:tongue: ... Nicole - Hey there - looking good congrats on 60 lbs - heck I am really good at taking out double chin in my adobe photo shop - I can take out my wrinkles too :puke: use the smudge tool :biggrin2: Candice - I will try the micorwave next time - I think the squash may have been a little old - the seeds inside seemed a little dry.. Red White Blue yes you are our adoptive American Happy Tuesday Gang - How is everyone today ?? Well just doing my morning ck in - hope everyone has a good day - I will ck back later...

Jackie I am glad you had a GREAT BIRTHDAY... EXCELLENT choice on the smaller cheesecake:thumbup: You had your treat but didn't over do it to the 10th degree.. I am so proud of you :smile: Your birthday is your day and it is special and I truly don't feel that we have to deprive ourselves on our day and we have learn not to go overboard - you ate out - but i bet you didn't eat as much as you did last year:tongue: You went to the gym today and you will go tomorrow... it won't be that bad - infact you will probly loose more weight this week - it seems like when you give your body those extra calories it sometime helps.... I wanted to share this before I signed off for the night - my trainer said - we don't want to be normal - normal people are the ones who are fat and don't exercise - we want to be abnormal cuz we want to eat healthy and exercise... Think about it the majority of American's are overweight (Candice I don't know about Canandians ) This is the norm now a days - so we don't want to be normal - we want to be abnormal Something to ponder:rolleyes: Sweet dreams - I am of to change in to my jammies and eat my abnormal meal of fish rich and french style green beans... TTYL tomorrow xoxoxox

Lifechange Ok you messed up - now pick yourself up and dust off your butt and get back on the Band Wagon - You must follow your doctors orders and only your doctors - not someone else who allows them to eat right after surgery.. The whole reason for not eating is to allow your stomach to heal around the band where it was stiched - you don't want to cause a slip. You ate Beans with yogurt ??? OMW that sounds just gross:tongue: - you must have been desparate - but that's still no excuse -:smile: can you have creamed Soup - potatoe soups & creamed soups were a life saver for me - Can you have sf fudgecicles - popcicles those you do bite and sort of eat - you can make a pot of beans - after they cook take the beans out run them thru the blender and add them back to the broth - you have cream of bean soup and it is really good and satisfing You can do this - please know that even with the band you do have to have will power - the will power to change your eating habit and follow the rules.. You can do this - just but on your big girl boots and keep on stepping in the right direction..

Hey Gang What's Up... Well, went to the gym - worked arms today and walked 1 mile at a 5 inclline. Went and saw GD who just got back from her 8th Grade trip to The Big Apple & Washington DC - came home clean the kitchen - GS NEVER puts his dishes in the dishwasher :smile: - still got cook for me - just burned myself making sauages for GS - I hate popping grease... and it's 8 p.m. Yep Linda weight loss - does change more than the phyiscal apprearance, I can say this here cuz you will all understand - but it's embarrssing to be that FAT chick - you would think it would be eaiser going places where you don't know people - but I find the oppesite to be true - didn't mind being around my friends - but stranger - yep - Would never have admitted this 8 months ago - but I can now... Ok I gotta get my dinner started - and relax a bit before bed time - will ck back in a bit -

Ok next time I will cook it longer !! but heck that's alot of cooking I had it in the oven @ 350 for 1 hrs...

Yep I miss chugging water alot still do - small sips just isn't as satisfying as a good chug...

I had 1/2 beer on Friday night - the problem is with the carbonation - after one or 2 sips - you are FULL - i was almost sliming on 2 sips - so had to take small sips and wait a while between those sips - I hate hot beer so I guess that tells you why - I left half a beer - It was hot. I like a beer or 2 especially here in the desert during the summer - but heck - I can live without it and if I want one I can have one - but I have to nurse the heck out of it - so I have martini's instead - or wine - or gin & tonic...

We have the Stagecoach Fest here in May3/4/5 and he will be here then too along with Rascal Flatt - Eagles - Carrie Underwood - Tim McGraw - Judds - Trisha Yearwood Stagecoach but it's 3 day event and like $95 a day and it's all day - and I think acts are going on while other ones are too (if it's like the Coachella Fest) and I don't have anyone who is going to spend that kind of $$ and I don't know if I could party for 3 solid days - plus I don't think there is seating - just a big area where people stand - I would like to see these people but again some play on friday - some saturday - and then sunday ... To drawn out So going to Laughlin - and see just him will be cool and it will be fun to get away... I am sorry you aren't feeling well - I guess I was lucky I was back to work day 6 - I do have a desk job -
