Thanks Melissa - I don't know if pple in person could take what I say ;0) (you all can't see my face when I am talking and shaking my head - but again you guys already know what I am going to say ;0) hell I think I am in the back of everyones mind at one time or another - some choose to listen and some say - go away Janet LOL(- I think I would put off some pple - Not everyone can take tough love ;0) if you every read some of the post here - there are so many pple who blame their bands - not themselves... As us seasoned banders know - we are the one who makes our food choice and if you continue to eat like you did pre-band - the weight really isn't going to come off - it's not just about restriction - it's about what we eat and if we choose to move or not..

Candice - I'm here ;0) - playing on FB listening to it's a wonderful life ;0) - Karla has her DD's & Phyl is at DD and going to church twice today ;0) - My food today is nothing so far - well my little dip and chips but that's it - had 2 cups of coffee - but feeling sleepy and it's only 9 p.m. - Andrew is so cute he just called he might go home and get his dogs and come and spend the nite ;0) isn't that just precious .... Hell I don't have a tree or nothing - but he wants to come home for Xmas - but he doesn't get off till 11:30 tonite and he's not sure if he wants to drive all the way home then come back this way - plus he need to go by his mom's too - they celebrate on Xmas eve.... So who knows what he's going to do - I doubt I would drive 20 to get the dogs - then come back this way at that time of night - but again I'm not 19 ;0) - His boss at his 2nd job said that he could have the night off tomorrow - but he said he would work - he really likes working at the ice cream shop... so he's working tomorrow nite 7 to 11:30 - I am just so proud of that boy... Well, my eyes are getting tired - think I am going to go veg and when I do that I will get hungry ;0) - Still no cookies - we will see if I can say that in the morning ;0) MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

Julie - Sure glad no pain !!! Merry Christmas

9 hours ago on FB Lori wrote Thank you so much for all the prayers and good wishes for Mandy. Report is good the drugs are working and she gets to come home this evening. MERRY CHRISTMAS Just saw it - missed it earlier - So we all are saying THANK YOU GOD !!!! What a wonderful Xmas gift for Lori's Family !!!

Good Evening Gang !!! Well my Uncle & Bro & GF just left - kitchen cleaned - and all I have had was a little guacamole and chips - when I am entertaining and doing all the prep stuff - it makes me not hungry - don't ask me why - I haven't had any cookies either.. Got a disturbing call this afternoon - Joseph in the ER with bad stomach pain - he has a herina that we know of - he had this pain a while back I guess but wasn't that bad - well today it was bad enough to go to ER - They gave him a cat scan - wasn't the herina - no gall stones - thinking it diverticulitis - I was afraid that I was going to have to fly up there if he had to have surgery - but thank God it wasn't/isn't anything thing that bad - he's just going to have to change his diet - which he needs to do anyway ;0) I was sorta stressing about having my bro and his gf over - she can get on my nerves big time - but they were both really ok tonite (they weren't high) and they brought gifts - got a cute hoodie and a red sequin blouse and a purse - really thoughtful of them - hell all I gave this yr was hickory farms thingie and a plate of my cookies and some tamales.. My Uncle appreciated having somewhere to go for Christmas - he's a loner most days - So I am glad I had them over . Well gang just wanted to ck - in - gotta go watch It's a Wonderful Life - Candice it was suppose to be my normal color - but I was rushing and think I added a bit too much light golden brown - it's a little darker - but it will lighten up.. Not messing with it - it will be ok CBL

Rest tonite - enjoy tomorrow - I was sorta stressing about having my bro and his gf over - she can get on my nerves big time - but they were both really ok tonite (they weren't high) and they brought gifts - got a cute hoodie and a red sequin blouse and a purse - really thoughtful of them - hell all I gave this yr was hickory farms thingie and a plate of my cookies and some tamales.. My Uncle appreciated having somewhere to go for Christmas - he's a loner most days - So I am glad I had them over . I bet if you cut the starches carbs you will see the diff in how you feel and how the scale will react... Enjoy your day tomorrow Charlene How many pple are you having over ? Melissa - Hug & love right back at you girl and yes I am passionate - My Uncle thinks I should be a LB spokes person and travel around the States sharing my lb knowledge ;0) Well gang just wanted to ck - in - gotta go watch It's a Wonderful Life - CBL Lori continued prayers..

Well got the house cleaned - cookies frosted (they are one of my fav - well hell to be honest I like sugar and fat so there aren't too many cookies/sweets I don't like - the only one I can think of are the ones with anise Now need to wrap Andrew's stuff - color hair and shower.. Karla when I cook I don't measure either or time - just cook.. IMHO think it's a sign of a good cook - Baking is the only time I measure ;0) Well need to get back at it - cbl oh ya no way will you find me at a store today ;0) or yesterday ;0) and if I have to go it would be for like one or 2 things and I would know not to let the crowds get to me - but pretty sure I won't be out and about at all today ;0)

Well house is cleaned - Cookies Frosted - now gotta wrap Andrew's Present - Color hair .

Well house is cleaned - Cookies Frosted - now gotta wrap Andrew's Present - Color hair .

Good Morning Peeps.. I did NOT eat any Cookies last night !!!!! WTG Janet - I slept like a log !!!! Gotta get moving - already got half my vacuuming done - need to frost cookies (not a morning sweet person so no problem there), mop, empty the dishwasher - and vaccum living room and really need to get hair colored I have about an 1/2 inch of white showing and it's only been 4 weeks since I last colored it .. Andrew called last nite - he has to work today (both jobs) but said he will be here tomorrow ;0) Will skype w/Joseph and family in the morning to see Brooke open her presents - Love the internet :0) HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE TO ALL !!! Will CBL

Lori - Prayers - Love & Hugs

Good Morning !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE !!! Candice you made LOL this morning about getting up early - Great way to start the day Multi - you don't do it like you use to - you hit multi on me - Karla - Phyl (hit it on all 3 of those post) then hit add reply (scroll down a bit) that's how I get it to work.. I'll freeze a couple of tamales for you and Linda and Phyl when you come this March - Yes Mexican - Masa (corn meal like stuff mixed w/lard) spread on corn husk then filled w/meat or cheese and they make sweet ones too. (In cuba I think they wrap them in banana leaves - well I know in Cancun that the way they do - diff parts of mex do them differently - The are good but fattening ;0) like most Christmas foods - Mexican usually make them on Christmas Eve - Us white pple usually eat them on Christmas eve for dinner (that's the way my family does it) My Dad was in the date business and 99.9% of his employees where mexican and on of his girls would make them for us and when my parents were alive - we all went to their house and ate tamales and open presents - Christmas was a big big deal in our family... Gosh got me crying this morning writing this - I sure do miss those days - We really did have a good time - we all got together drank ate open present and were Merry... I miss that the most... Really it was our Birthdays -Easter - Thanksgiving & Christmas - those were the holidays that my Dad always celebrated w/us.. Well - I've vacuumed my room - office have living room and kitchen to do still - DIDN'T EAT ANY NOT ONE COOKIE LAST NITE. Dinner was about 3 oz meat then some nachos (15 chips w/cheese and some of my home made salsa) Went to bed around midnite and slept REALLY GOOD - didn't wake up til 6:45 this morning.. That's excellent for me as I normally wake up at least once during the nite.. Candice glad your gig went well and got paid good - Andrew called last nite and he needs new shoes - so the $$$ I got will go to him to help pay for them - He has to buy 2 pairs of shoes since he has the club foot and his left foot is smaller than the right - it's something I NEVER BITCH about - as a kid he normally got non-name brand shoes - but when he got older he wanted them - he's always so embarrassed about asking for 2 pairs - but now that he's stop growing - he knows what size to get and doesn't have to try them on at the stores - but still bugs him to ask for 2 sizes so $90 x 2 - but gotta say he's normally pretty good and a pair of shoes for him is anywhere from $100- 150 - and like I said - I don't ever say anything about the $$ - If we had a Nordstroms here they would only charge us for 1 pair.. but we don't have one.. Thats so cool of them.. Well need to empty dish washer - vacuum - mop and color my hair - doubt I get to the gym this morning and tomorrow they are closed - so maybe me and Bella will go for a walk - will take the other 2 on a short one but their joint issues stop them from walking to far.. Phyl - be careful on the roads today !!! Yep tell Tracy we send our love... CBL

Well I guess I should have read ;0) - Didn't know that Apples had already posted - I just sat down at the computer and she posted that post on FB... So I thought it was a new development and wanted to get the word out there - good intentions - just a little late Lori - Know you and family are in my prayers... Arlene - How sweet ;0) Thanks !!! Yep you need to teach the kids - I know that my Sis has taught her DD - especially now that she's not well - DD has taken over the cooking - well gotta say even 10 yrs ago - she & my DIL where pretty good helpers - you know they got the duty of peeling potatoes and of course they got the job of cleaning up - Hell isn't that what daughters are for LOL... Tina - When I was in 8th grade I weighed 165 - I was 5'3 and I was the fat girl compared to all the others - and now that I look back on those pic's - I wasn't morbitly obese by any means - but I was 35 - 40 lbs over weight and that was/is considered obese.. This is the best thing you can do for your DD is help her get healthy and learn good eating & exercise habits now.... Not when she's 50 - We all know how tough life is being the fat girl.. My DGD (grand daughter) Brooke is 6 yrs old and weighs like 90-95 lbs - her Mom is big and so is my DS - they have taught her their bad eating habits - My 16 yr old DGD isn't over weight (we wear the same size - 4) but she doesn't have the best eating habits and hate exercise.. I get after both my ds & dil that they are killing Brooke - literally - I talk to Brooke all the time about eating healthy and getting exercise - she likes veggies - salad - fish - the problem is her mom had taught her to eat pizza w/ranch dressing - tons of starches - sugar etc (my ds is to blame for the hot cheetos) Once when they were here - I said that she (brooke) didn't need the Ranch dressing - DIL said that if you couldn't have ranch dressing w/pizza why bother - I just shook my head and walked out and let the make pigs of themselves - but later DIL came to me and said - I was right - why add another 200 calories for the dressing to an already high calories meal - and again - Brooke just had eaten lunch before the other kids ordered the pizza - she didn't need any pizza as she had just eaten lunch - but they let her have it.. My DIL is looking into wls - she says that she doesn't want Brooke to grow up fat- she said that she wanted to start getting healthy - but they still haven't changed too much in how they eat - if at all.. So Please understand I am not just the Sheriff here - but w/my own family - I am PASSIONATE about pple understanding that we aren't dieting - that we aren't taking the easy way out - but that for us to lose the weight with or without the band - we can't diet - we have to learn that we MUST make this about a total lifetime lifestyle change in our eating and exercise habits.. As to your WW point - after surgery you will concentrate on getting your Protein grams in (pt=protein) most docs want you to get 60 grm of pt a day (every doc is diff some want more - mine said 60 grm) rule of thumb 1 oz meat = 7 grms pt. But in the beginning you will be on liquids (pt shakes) - This is why it is so very IMPORTANT TO READ LABELS - you need to know the # of calories in your food and the pt grms - most foods have pt in them - When you get to the mushies stage you will eat Beans (fat free= FF) add a little cheese 1/2 cup of refried ff beans has 130 cal and 6 grms of pt - Eggbeater 1/4 c has 30 cal and if I remember correctly 6 grms of pt - Also there is a clear pt drink that's like crystal lite that you add to bottle Water and it has 70 cal and 12 -15 grms pt.. My doc's recommedations were that you get your protein in early so that like at dinner you could add veggies to your meal - During my weight loss phase - I counted calories and pt grms - kept a food & exercise diary.. Julie - Glad your shoulder isn't too bad.. Well got 2 loads of wash done - house picked up - disher washer done (well still need to unload - I hate that part) Saving vacuuming for in the morning.. Got Salsa made had to go back to the store for more tomatoes. Target was busy Talked to Joseph - will skype w/them Xmas morning - so I can see Brooke open presents.. Hell - I be up before them - I am the one who has to wake the house up - always have been ;0) Made my sugar cookie - but not going to frost them till tomorrow (so I don't eat 1/2 of them tonite LOL) - making plate for Andrew & Janelle then Brad and my Uncle Charles Charlene - I found the cutest little plastic ziplock type bag for treats at the dollar store.. I have put the Choc chip Cookies in them and put them out of my site ;0) or they would be gone by morning.. When I got home from work Janelle had left message that she wanted to know how to make the cookies that I use to make - thought it was cute that she love's LaLa Xmas cookies - but hell she's been having them since she was 2 - she's 20 now.. So I guess I have made a good memory for her too... Warms my heart ;0) Well that's the latest for me ;0)

Good Evening Gang !!!! Got off work around 2 - went to store to get stuff to make salsa - home - cleaned & washed - will save vacuuming for tomorrow.. Got Salsa made - cookie dough in the fridge - got a $15 itunes card from a girl at work - so will be down loading some new music for my treadmill workout in the morning- Need to get in the extra exercise so that I can have some Cookies w/o guilt ;0) Are party at work was so so - not really a party - we just ate (me chips & salsa - poppers (1 a roasted yellow chille pepper filled w/shrimp) and one cracker w/lite cream cheese & lox - Instead of gift exchange we bring toys for the shelters and we don't have a Office Xmas party as we adopt a couple families - The did give us $100 - that was nice cuz they haven't given us anything in a few yrs.. Chris - LOL Yep we do give tough love ;0) - Cheri - Hugs on the DD issues.. I wish I had some great answer for you, but alas I don't - I guess I would just drop by to see the GK's and tell her you love her and when she need you or wants to talk - that you are there for her.. I try and do 4 fonts but sometimes - I forget ;0) What would I want to eliminate from the world - Well I can't pick one thing, Aids, bigotry, evil, cancer, poverty, addiction, that everyone had access to clean drinking Water and enough food to eat.. I was watching 20/20 or one of those shows and there this thing where you give up your bday and have pple donate $$ to a cause to help children around the world - and like $25 would give the pple in India clean drinking water.. http://saveone.net/ These are the things that move me, There is so much that we bitch and moan about in our lives - when in all reality we have it so easy.. Jessica - WTG Girl - Can't wait for Christmas Day - What a great goal and it will help you from over doing treat over Christmas ;0) Kelly - WTG - You are doing so good... Well, I have had 2 cups coffee - will be up all nite ;0) and I bet no one will be here ;0) Apples how did lunch go.. LauraK - So glad you get to spend Xmas w/DD Laura - Hugs - Please don't worry about what's around the corner - enjoy what you have today ... Jodi - Hugs on the Jeff issue - He's just not the one for you.. You will find your guy.. Julie - How are you doing - hope your shoulder is leaving you alone.. Charlene - You are a trooper, you might fall off - but you don't give up ;0) Eva - Hugs - I know you have been busy too ;0) Linda - Hope you can get some sleep tonite Well Joseph just called - so will cbl

Good Afternoon Gang... No Candice didn't know a Canadian invented Basketball - Always our historian ;0) !!! The other day I wore a fluffy sweater to work - well after I eat I sometime get these minor hotflashes usually nothing to write home about - but OMG with that sweater on I wanted to pull it off - My boss Paul said don't - I told him - oh Paul if I was a 20 something cuties w/a rack you would be saying ok.. You just don't want to see a 55 yr w/saggy skin ;0). Enjoy your gig at the SS to ntie ;0) Karla - Well didn't realize DD was playing - ya you gotta go ;0) only 5 ft - you are tall - but so was my Mom and I take after my Aunt Valerie and am short ;0) WTG on under 160 - that's how I did it - just keep eating healthy and your body will find it's happy weight.. I lost 9 more lbs after my goal of 145 - buy just continuing to eat healthy You and I are opposites - I eat at home if I don't have anything to do - where as at work I don't - cuz there is nothing to eat - plus pple would see me eating junk and since I'm such a food cop - can't let that happen - lets just say - I'm still a closet eater to a degree Phyl OMG you have been busy... Going to chruch twice on Xmas Eve - good one time can be for me.. Just not into Xmas this yr. Didn't even dress the part today - I couldn't find my Xmas shirt this morning - that's something I don't have now that I have lost the weight - I had ton's of Xmas shirts before - now just 1 from Target - Our Christmas party was sorta a dud - our main boss wasn't there (he went to see out of town family - now understand that us employees can't take off from 12/15 to 12/31 - but he took off yesterday and today - what's wrong w/that picture) anyway since we don't exchange gifts anymore (we bring toys for the shelters) it just wasn't very Christmassy - they did give us $100 .. That was nice - we haven't had a gift from them in a couple of years.. Well, cleaning the house - need to vacuum - going to make cookies - oh ya I got 15 Itune card - so going to down loaed some new music and hit the gym in the a.m. especially if I am baking - I will be eating Karla - I eat like you especially on the weekends - I have maybe 2 meals - and some days I skip bf at work - get busy and don't want what I brought so some days I don't eat it - normally on the weekdays I don't - but rarely on the weekends do I eat bf.. Well need to get to it - cbl xooxo J

Good Morning Gang Had 2 gym classes last nite - didn't get home till 7;45 and had a couple more xmas bags to stuff - food to fix for office party - Salmon- Cream (lite) cheese ;0) no one is going to like it but me - but who cares - it was easy - and not fattening.. I am saving myself for tamales on Xmas eve and a few cookies.. Rain stopped - Pool guy called me - said it wouldn't flood - ;0)... Just a little worrysome - Candice - 10 days to go??? Karla - Why did you even go - too freaking cold ;0) - but again not a big hocky fan ;0) it's a Canadian sport ;0) or for those who have ice - I know CA had a team - the ducks I think but thats about all I know about hocky ;0) Phyl - Glad you are home - my now you have food in the house and are getting settled.. Should get off work around 2 - so cbl

Good Morning Gang Has 2 gym classes last night didn't get home til 7:45 - so just didn't have time to post.. Has a couple more gift bags to stuff ;0) Jodi -WTG Congrat !!!!! I'm not always good about getting stuff in the mail - like Apple said - guilt free thread.. Linda - I guess you couldn't sleep ;0) - I had no problem after 2 gym classes ;0) - Ya I thought my card was pretty much me lol that's why I bought them - I like cards that are a little bit more Christmassy Laura - Hugs enjoy each day that you have w/the family... Apples - Hope your Xmas lunch w/DS goes well and you feel better.. Cheri - I am glad you joined and stuck around - You have so much knowledge to share and are so good at explaining it .... Well still gotta hit my #7 thread and then get ready for work - hopefully will be off around 2 ...

good morning gang I hope my house doesn't flood - it's been raining 24 hrs - the side of my house if full of water 5 more inches the pool is going to be flooding.. Phyl Glad you are home safe - maybe you can fly home and let earl drive ;0) lol I know that's not possible - but wishful thinking Candice loved your quilt - Karla - hope your pain is better Not much to report had gym last night - then had to come and put gifts in bags that I have to take to work - still gotta get gift for boss - but that's just a gift certificate but gotta do it today - and I have gym tonite too - 2 classes - well it will get done..

Good Evening Gang This is a drive by - it's almost 8 and I need to go eat and get my t.v. time in.. Tina GF let me tell you so you can tell all those pple out there who think WLS is the easy way out - That it IS NOT - that the work is up to you to make healthy food choices - as I said earlier if I want I can eat 1/2 gallon of ice cream the band isn't going to stop that - I could eat 2 cups of mashed potatoes topped w/white gravy - the banded isn't going to stop me - those are the food that got me fat in the 1st place - I did 75% of the work by eating healthy and exercising - the band did the other 25% by providing restriction - like I said I can't eat 8 oz steak. If WLS is the easy way out how come so many pple who have it gain the weight back - cuz they quit eating healthy - they quit going to the gym - I am a WW girl as I think it's the most healthy eating plan out there - it's really how I eat.. If I'm hungry I eat more veggies.. Julie - I'm fine - just busy doing nothing - gym - fb - christmas - dogs - house - work - you know the regular day to day stuff - like tonite got home from the gym - then had to wrap (bags) the gifts up that I got pple at work - need to take them tomorrow cuz some pple won't be there on Thursday.. Then chatted w/Chris on fb - then answered a pm I got from a newbie.. now just making it here - scaned the post and now posting and it's 8:24 and I haven't eaten - but I feel bad if I don't post - Just not enough hrs in the day ;0) - Yep I thought the card was a good representation of me ;0) Charlene - GF what are you waiting till the 26th - Start today... Why put off tomorrow what you can do today - you gotta learn to eat in moderation - if you are going to have treats - then you gotta eat a smaller bf - lunch - dinner and exercise more - this is why I think counting calories is so very important - you can't eat your normal bf lunch dinner then add another 500 cal in treats 7 days in a row - you are going to gain weight .. I think you are dieting and that's why you are having problems - you DH had surgery - you guys shouldn't have any junk in the house period.. You both are suppose to be eating healthy- holidays is no excuse - If you can't stop at one cookie then just don't start.. I look at pple all day at work who complain about their weight - but you know what - they are constantly eating the junk in the lunch room - I want it too - but I know what it will do if I eat it - I will gain weigh.. I don't want to - so I just say no.. Plus it's junk - it's sugar/fat - I Love myself enough to say no - you can't eat like that.. Like I said since both you and dh should be on the wagon - then it should be easier for you not to have the crap in the house.. Planed treats... My plan treats are as follows - Friday Christmas Eve & Christmas Day I will have a tamale & some Beans and a few Xmas Cookies - I will watch what I eat for my other meals Ok it's now 8:37 I gotta get off the computer.. I am pooped - Love to all -

Good Morning Gang Phyl - Hugs Hugs Hugs - What a little butthead to throw the water - how old is he... Please don't kill him, think about prison - it's not a fun place ;0)... But you can think about the ways to do it - just don't act on them ;0).. Karla I dream in color - I would say I don't dream much - but I know the last couple of mornings I am dreaming right before I wake up - but I don't remember them at all - Did you watch Dancing w/ Wolves lately LOL Well gotta get back to work .... CBL

Good Morning Gang Drive by - busy... Chris glad your Dad is ok Meredith Hugs Hugs Hugs Arlene - Pull up the bootstraps !!!! Quit allowing for so many treats - Only Planned ones... Hope is a word you use when speaking about others - I hope Janet is on time for our appointment - you hope because you have no control over me being on time.. But you do not use the word HOPE when speaking about yourself as you do have control over what you choose to put in your mouth - I don't hope to be successful - I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL !!!! Gotta get back to work...
