Hell you can't get a hotel for $50 a night - That's fantastic !!! Good morning peeps.. Was up at 5:18 with furries - but went back to bed - Candy called at 7:25 wanting to know if I still wanted to go to the airshow - I said nope that I didn't want to interfer in her time w/her GS (this is the one who lost his father a few months ago he was in his 40's) I realized that this was their time together and didn't want to impede on it. Plus I got stuff I need to do - nails - closets - reading - t.v. - food shopping I am about out of fish..

Good Morning Gang... I slept in ;0) !!!! 7:30 !!!! GF called (woke me up actually or I would still be a sleep ;0) to see if I wanted to go to air show - but I realized I was butting into her & her grandson's time - so I begged off ;0) - I'm a little dense sometimes ;0) Chris - Well now that you are banded - both eating the same way - both supporting each other I think you both will do well!! Apples - Just heard the weather - 85 today ;0) but finally suppose to cool off to 78-80 next week - some winter weather for me... Nights have been cool - I have been sleeping with only the fan and open slider.. Glad to hear your mouth is a little better - I would be eating Soup soup soup cuz I can't live without eating - I would be to crouchy too;0) Melissa - Hugs on your health insurance issue.. I know how important it is to have good health insurance.. Hope it works out soon..

Hell, you are so busy now - where did you find time to work before.. :0) Have fun at your FNSC - your empenada (sp) sound good - I'm hungry ;0) Burnt my meat so had to defrost some more - Having tacos - well really only one that's usually all I can eat and I ate a pear when I got home from the gym and not particularity hungry right now. I leave the Saturday after Thanksgiving 11/27 - 12/4 Great - I would pay the $$ at Graceland - Elvis was making those movies back in the 60 when I was a kid and I love Suspicion minds - Kentucky Rain - In the Getto - the stuff he did in the 70's - I know where I was when I got the news he die... I was working for Cal Petro.. How cool that you are completeing your 50 states :0) - now you get to start over ;0) WTG on getting back to the gym - Yep my trainer and I were talking about routines tonite - right now our training days have changed to Wed & Friday - next week Thrus & Friday - I don't like changing either - Lucky my classes haven't changed times - just names & the work out - Cuz I love my boot camp and pilos.. Charlene - WTG on your shaper - yep working out does help stuff.. I feel nake now a days w/o a shaper on - I don't care if it's 110 - I still wear them - beauty before comfort as my Mom use to say - well I can't say that's always true - but most of the time it is ;0) Good luck on your Christmas thingie tomorrow - We want pictures.. Phyl the air show is at the Thermal Airport 9-3 tomorrow (sat) - I haven't heard from Candy so don't know if I'm going or not - sorta don't want to - need to put away summer stuff (well gotta keep stuff out that I'm taking on vacation) but need to get originized.. Sure glad GS surgery went well - can't believe he was out and about that soon after wards. Hugs on the memorial service tomorrow.. Jodi - Have a good Sabbath- I would give the fill a little time to adjust as long as you can drink Water - when I was so tight the one time - I couldn't even drink a cup of coffee in the morning.. Apples glad the mouth is a little better - hope your chilli hit the spot - Pot Pies - OMG I love them - don't eat them once I knew the calories in them ;0) but you are lucky you can.. Laurak Glad the 2nd date went well - can't wait to hear about the next one w/this guy ;0) Chris - Glad you are doing so much better - Is Debbie banded yet or is she going to be - or was she getting bypass - you have to forgive me - I'm and old broad - my memory isn't what it use to be ;0) Well time to go eat.. cbl Hugs everyone I miss - Love to you ALL..

Candice - it's that dip you guys made in WA this summer - I use vanilla greek yogurt - WW cream cheese and brown sugar splenda - it taste just like cheese cake - 70 for the cream cheese - 120 for the yogurt - 20 for the splenda - 200 cal to round up ;0) IT'S TO DIE FOR - I figured I would buy those little indvidual graham cracker crust thingies and make mini cheese cakes when you all come in March.. You are getting pt w/your calories - instead of eating ice cream w/no nutrition ;0).. WTG on the exercise - Friday is my new legs weight night for the next 7 weeks - I had to be careful cuz of my tail bone issues - so workout wasn't my best - but I did move but didn't lift the weight I normally do = What did you do to hurt your knee.. Ya I would have told that GF - well coffees cold - I'm going home.. Phyl - heck some days I don't feel like posting either - we just get that way sometimes - but glad you ck'd in cuz I was calling if you hadn't.. WTG on being 1 lbs down !!! Gotta get a few lbs off before the holidays -- So Tracy is coming for Xmas - I think the kids are staying up there - cuz Melissa said that her Mom may be coming - I would like that - I would like a quite Xmas - I would like to enjoy my days off w/o a house full Guess Karla's off to Id - Safe travels - enjoy your time ;0)

Awe thanks - It feels so good to be in control of the food - it's mostly mental - you just gotta change your mindset and understand that you can't eat like you use to - that a little hunger isn't going to kill you ... Our bands are great tools - but truly the work is up to us.. The thread doesn't get the responses like it use to -- Somedays - life gets in the way of posting.. I'm busy at work - gym and home life.. But try and ck in when I can..

Good Morning Gang.. Cheri - You rarely post in the a.m. ;0) hope the tummy issues quit ;0) Charlene - Yep I'm home this weekend ;0)... I'm home till I go on vacation - don't have any plans - May go to air show tomorrow morning.. Apples hope you got some sleep and food ;0) we can't have you being grouchy.. Well not much to report since last night - it's Friday - always a good day for us who work ;0)....

Good Morning Peeps !!! TGIF !!!! Karla - Have fun - remember leave CC at home ;0)... Dinner ended up being fish - veggies - popcorn - greek yogurt w/WW cream cheese ;0).

Good Evening Gang... Great - Yep I figured you hadn't been to the gym ;0) - the finger thing is ok - it's your index finger and you put in your cell # - I do it - and yep in 6 weeks the classes do change up... I know that ours does - they had 24 lift - now it's called Body Pump - Kick Boxing Boot Camp is now MMA Boot camp (mixed martial arts) and a little diff - I know my boot camp is suppose to change too - name anyway - they are doing some les mills (I think that's his name) programs.. Cheri - LOL on your gas - you an a lady from my work would get on well w/each other - she thinks farts are funny too.. I was brought up to ignore them - I don't have that much gas normal at bed time and in the a.m. so I am safe ;0) - since I live alone ;0) Apples - Ya not being able to eat can cause you to be a bit grouchy - Hopefully your mouth will be better in a few days.. Ya I don't think Linda has been on FB either - I will ck it out.. Eva - We didn't discuss our issue - she said it was Water under the bridge- I know I made a passive aggressive comment about her son's bad influence on my son - that's what she was pissed about.. We're cool - she called tonite to thank me for coming to see her and making her Soup - Well gang I'm hungry - need to go cook - CBL

Good Evening Gang... What do you want pictures of - I havent' gone yet ;0)... Our Vet Day is next week - we are getting 1/2 day off - we never get Vet day off - I doubt I will leave at noon - too much work - but will leave early as possible.. Ya I'm glad my kids didn't have to go to war - I know my Mom said that she would go to jail before her boys went to war.. They were too young during Vietnam - Jimmy would have been 4f anyway cuz of his asthma - Michael was pigeon toed. WTG Candice on sticking to your plan !!!! My food today BF - Yogurt & granola Lunch 1/2 pt shake & 1/2 chicken breast Dinner - I think taco - or maybe fish - Snack will be the usual.. I'm detoxing from the sugar - I think it's out of my system.. Karla - Talk about your Dad - It's normal to miss him... Where I'm going it's clear water - it's Caribbean water - clear and sky blue ;0) you can see your feet... And when you get pool certified - I don't think you can go very deep - you have to go to real scuba diving classes to do deep water - don't think I want to do deep water - my Uncle says it's dark & scary ;0) - I'm not afraid of the dark per se - as long as I know I can turn on a light - but when the power goes out - I get a little scared - don't ask why - Well think I am going to go fix something to eat and read and watch some t.v. - Have survior from last night cbl

Bunny - LOL - I started this new thread for 50+ on 1/7/08 :0) - I've been on lbt since 5/07 I've been banded since 7/07 - got to goal 7/08 and have maintained my weight loss for 2 yrs now... Thanks for the support though... ;0)

Julie Hope the paid stays away - don't over do it.. LauraK Good luck on your date - order Soup ;0) Laura Bought the t-shirt - love it.. Sounds like DH & Nels will have a wonderful time - but you will be roaming the house when they are gone - I know I would wish Andrew to go somewhere for the weekend - then find myself roaming not being able to really relax :0).. As to maintaining - good for you.. If you feel good about you that's what is important !!! Well back to work ;0)

Good Morning Gang... Apples - Sorry for the pain- yep you need to drink your calories :0).. Hedi - No guessing - it's a proven fact that if you keep a food diary you will lose more weight !!! Counting calories teaches you what you are eating and how fast they add up... I still read labels 3 yrs out - I know for the most part how many calories are in the foods I eat now a days.. Yes - Heels is a goal and you can do it.. Charlene - WTG with your plan !!! You can do it... Julie - Glad you got some relief w/the adjustment - I need one or a massage my neck is really tight.. Well not much to report since last night - gotta hit the showers.. CBL

Scuba Diving - that's what I was looking for ;0) it's called scuba diving ;0) Karla - be careful - I know my gf thought oh I will me just fine after her surgery - I'll be back to work before six week - Ya right .. She wasn't up and around like she thought she would be.. Well not much to report since last nite... Candice - Yep I looked at the video last night - WAY COOL !!!

Congrats LoseLose!!! Welcome !!! I was 52 when banded lost 114 lbs - feel 10 yrs younger and have 100% more energy... I'm in Cali too - Indio -

Good Evening Gang... Charlene I'm fine - just haven't been enough hours in the day- my boss had prostrate surgery yesterday - have tons to catch up on being out 2 days - plus just my house stuff and gym etc - life is getting in the way right now - I even had a friend from FB (she a bander too but don't know her band name) send me a message asking if I was alright - Hedi - Congrats on your 50 lbs - that's great - What are you eating- are you exercising?? Don't diet - eat healthy (protein 1st -then veggies - limited staches/carbs and eat mostly sugar free) Exercise 5 days a week Keep a food diary - keep calories between 800-1200 and vary them daily... The majority of our issues w/food are in our heads not our stomachs - if you need a fill get one - and as the saying goes - just cuz you can - should you.. Why did you order a philly cheese sub in the 1st place (this is the tough love) there were healthier choices - treat are fine - but if you are in the weight loss phase - they shouldn't be to often.. Apples - Hugs on the teeth issues and now the bumps.. Great - It's 11/3 - have you been to the gym yet?? How's the food going?? Christmas !!! It's not even Thanksgiving yet... I'm not even thinking about Xmas yet - 3 weeks till I go on vacation - that's my christmas - I think the kids are staying up north - which I won't mind - I would like just some quite time.. Gift Cards - That will be Christmas - may decorate a little - but not going to have much time as I usually decorate when I am on Vacation (the week of thanksgiving & week after - I always take those 2 weeks) but with being gone the whole 2nd week and I will only have 1 week in which to shop - pack - get carpet clean - etc - so who knows what Xmas will be here.. Cheri - Hugs hope the bug passes quickly... Melissa - I agree w/Cheri - your DH should understand - Andrew was good - if there was stuff I wanted - he would put it in his room - tell dh to hide the crap.. Well gang I need to eat - Todays food... BF - Jerky & 2 crackers & cheese lunch - Cheivce tostada and Beans dinner - Fish - salad Snack - Popcorn - WW Fudgescicle - sf pudding. 1 hr at gym - weights working arms.. CBL - Hugs & Love to all

Good evening Gang.. Foxfire doesn't work for facebook half the time - so down loaded something chrome - well it's doesn't want to quote - I think I need a new computer... Candice - Melissa is Joseph's wife - Kaitlin & Brooke's Mom - My DIL ;0) - She's half white & half Mexican - she speaks spanish ;0) - She suppose to get lapband next yr.. We are going to Playa Del Carmen - it's about 70 miles from Cancun (below it) - we can take a ferry to Cozumel - it looks like Cozumel is right across from us.. Yes I snorkel - in the video it looks like you can get certified for tanks - Kaitlin want's to dive ;0) what's it call - I can't think of what it's called - see I am losing it - so if they have it we will do it - she will turn 16 while we are on vacation Me - Andrew - Joseph - Melissa - Kaitlin & Brooke are going.. Why do you shower at the gym?? Phyl does cuz they have such a small bathroom - but hell I come home and shower - I don't do it at the gym - I wouldn't want to either.. I run around naked with me and my dogs but that's it ;0) I guess I need to think about clothes - but hell it's still summer here - like Phyl said 97 today.. Phyl - if you don't have any menopause symptoms - why were you on hormones?? I wouldn't take them unless it was super necessary.. What's the doc name - maybe I will go to her -I'm do for a pap - my gp does them - but I would like a reg doc. Yep even when you hate your siblings you still love them.. My leaky bladder issues went away when I lost the weight - ya if I cough or sneeze with a full bladder I might have a little leak - but nothing like prior to losing the weight - I had to wear a pad all the time - now I don't On Friday - I went to sit in a chair in the garage that had purses in it - so sorta sat on the edge of it - the stupid things had wheels - and I landed on my butt/tailbone with all my weight really really hard- just plopped on the cement - jumped up yelling my butt my butt ;0) and my right wrist hurt too.. I was afraid of breaking it - Mary (Melissa's Mom) broke her's years ago and has had nothing but back problems since.. I think it's just brusied - it's tender but not too bad.. Glad you are feeling better.. Karla - Kids ;o)- Andrew & Janella's rent 450 for a 1 bedroom - it's a nice apt - clean - walk in closet - small but nice - they will learn how to be on their own - which I think is good.. Bella walks great on a leash - so does Bear - Angel is ok but does pull and chocks herself - need a harness for her.. I'm on vacation the week of 11/22 - 11/29 - go back to work 12/7 - Leaving for the resort on 11/27 come home 12/4 - You are having your surgery around the time I leave if I remember correctly..

Linda - I still have emails to work on - it's hell coming back from vacation. I hope our resort is nice - this will be my 1st all inclusive.. I'm glad that Melissa speaks spanish too ;0).. Phyl - Water arobic's this morning.. Karla's at school - have a good day - I need to get to work - cbl

Good Morning Peeps... Lets see how long I can type before Bella starts bugging me.. Karla - the only reason I voted was cuz I am a permanent mail in voter - hell - I didn't care for either pple for gov - imho they are all full of crap... I hopefully vote out local city council - hate professional politicians.. Well here's Bella - I can't type when she's scratching me and won't sit still in my lap.. My tail bone really doesn't hurt to sit - I feel it a little when I bend over to pick something off the floor - it's bruised.. So I am babying it..

Good Morning Gang... Julie Love your pictures !!! Great Hugs on sadness - Shopping always good but doesn't fix it - will your family be together for Thanksgiving. Apples - Hugs great recap Charlene - love your pic's too maybe this weekend I will have time to post mine.. TX - WTG Well Bella isn't leaving me alone this morning - keeps scratching me..

Ya I had some halloween candy - but I usually eat sweets when not at home - not sweating it.... I had boot camp tonite - but didn't work out super hard as my tail bone still hurts from the fall on Friday - in fact sitting on some frozen veggies ;0) It took me about 1 yr to get use to maintenance - but gotta say I pretty much have a handle on it - #1 - can't ever go back to eating normal again - my normal is what made me fat in the 1st place. - that and lack of exercise - I will have to eat healthy for the rest of my life and exercise.. That's the secert to getting to goal and maintaining it.. Karla - Sounds like a deal - you and me empty nesters ;0)... Phyl - what med's did she change - how's your neck

I wasn't crying cuz of the delay - but in telling her about my sister's condition - I wouldn't cry cuz of a plane delay lol and it was only 1/2 hr.. I called in to say I would be later than I thought but in telling gf about my sis I started crying.. It was a good visit - but may be the last time I see her - we just don't know...

I never turned on the t.v. Linda glad you made it home safe - Bacelo has a place in Punta Canta - but since that's the dominican I wouldn't good - Haiti on the other side of the island went to jamacia once wasn't a good experience - not super bad but they really try and rip you off there. so I won't go back Phyl sorry you are feeling crappy - Ya I was thinking the same thing - almost stopped by yesterday but I was pooped and needed to get home to my doggies..

Laura - Hugs on Dad - My sis is 152 - she has never ever been this heavy - it the combination of quiting smokeing - eating entire choc cakes and the steriods - I didn't reconigize her on friday - we are having a great visit - don't stay too long cuz I don't want to wear her out - yesterday 4 hrs - made her my ck dumpling Soup - they say that once they lower her steriods that she's going to be in trouble again - so I am happy that I am up here now..
