Candice Glad you had a good rehearsal - WTG on the jeans - I ordered some from QVC $25 got regular length to wear w/heels and petite for flat - the petite are too tight in the waist - both size 4 but the petite waist is about 2 inches smaller - so they are going back.. Have a great visit w/your gf - you will find tons to talk about and we are old now adays so we are always repeating ourselves ;0) Karla Glad you are going to the doc for your prolaspe.. Ya you are going to be busy w/homework - Like I said - props to you for taking this on - I think it's great.. Slow down when you eat - leave the ceral out - That's the problem w/the band - tight some days others not - I really think dehydration may have something to do with it.. Went to lunch today w/gf - went to italian - I have been wanting shrimp alfredo - for the longest - but ended up ordering a salad - why you ask - cuz it was the better choice and I didn't really need all that grease & pasta.. But I had to slow my gf down with her eating - she eats really fasts and I found myself trying to keep up w/her - and I can't ;0) Well it's 8:30 Kaitlin called so I've been on the phone w/her.. Ck back in the morning

Charlene I do the same thing - then when I am reading someones reply - I think Oh I do don't remember reading that - then have to go back and read slower.. I had to have a cleanse before surgery - my lb doc had me get this stuff from CVS I it's really really awful - suppose to drink like 3 6 oz bottles - well 1 cleaned me out and that was it.. The are going to have to give me a pill in 7 yrs when I have to get re-check. Cheri - How terrible - Oh Hugs GF - Hugs Hugs Hugs Laura - Prayers for Dad - Hugs on car issues - they are the pits - Great that too bad - I would be like you - yes we know you appreciate all that you have - but when you get your mind set on something and it doesn't go that way - it's had to deal with ... WTG on the mirror - When you get dressed in the morning you don't look at yourself in a full length mirror --- plus I can see myself in the mirror while I'm in the shower - I don't look but if I wanted to I could - Yep keep looking in that mirror girl !!! Linda - WTG on accepting you... Ya it must be efficient ;0) Well have boot camp tonite - so cbl Oh ya - went to italian for lunch w/gf today - wanted alfredo or cannolie - but had a salad... It's all about choices..

I remember my 21st bday - ordered bourbon and coke - my Dad said - can't you tell she's 21 ;0) - Have a great time - love the Legal Drink ;0) Charlene - no I only have imperial irrigation which is cheaper than So Cal Edision - so I am lucky there.. Problem is hall says it's 80 - my room will be 78 and so while I am asleep it's running too much - plus last month was our hot month - it should be going down now that it's just me - a/c's turned up to 81-82 while I'm at work.. Laura's Dad isn't in the hospital - she took Nelson to see his Dad who works at the hospital ;0) I had to read it twice ;0) Ya nail shops are always trying to push stuff on ya.. I use to go to a Caucasus Lady - for years - but had to do nails every 2 weeks they would break or lift - now that I go to the Vietnamese they last 3 weeks and I can push 4 sometimes ;0) Great - I guess it's the pple who have propane to heat their houses that have $600 bills - I rarely turn on the heater - I just wear sweats around the house and the back door stays open - I do turn on the fireplace I think 60 is like my high gas bill.. That was a chore to reset dvr - I have mine set for the new survior - but the new shows don't start till the following week - so will have to wait to set those - I think I like 187 that looks good (cop show) greys anotmny - bro & sister - those are all programed.. I record too much and end up deleting w/o watching - but since I don't have lost this year - I will have a little more time.. Sometimes I catch up on the weekends - cuz too busy during the week.. Phyl - Yes my workout partner Vickie is going to house/dog sit for me ... Great - I would tell them about the band - maybe they can give you a pill - I don't see how you could drink that much in the amount of time you are suppose to - I was about to throw up by the time I finished pre band - can't imagine doing it (drinking all that crap) w/the band... Hugs Melissa - Hope it's nothing more than cramps Linda - Thanks ;0) from Left to right Ann will be 55 next month - Linda is 61 - Deb 56 and I'm 55 Glad Katie is coming home that's such a relief Joyce - I agree 100% Laura - Glad DH is going to see mom - reminds me of moonstruck :0) the DF going to italy to see his dieing mom ;0) Tell Nelson Congrats !!! Well - gang - I am having salad for dinner w/my chicken - hungry so going to go eat - cbl xoxoxo J

You may have lost your butt - boobs & gained some bat wings - but you know what - you gained ?? Your health - Self Confidence A good bra - some spanx (heck they make fake booties) and elbow length tops will take care of all that you have lost but if you had kept the weight on - it would be losing your life... Which would you rather have - Life/Health or Booty/Boobs & Fat that was killing you... I'll take the health and you will too - it takes time -to get use to the new body... But you are going to feel so much better - and you are extending your years !!!

Joyce - do you go to a resort to get a pedi - $65 that's high normally 20-25 for a pedi - got deluxe at new shop it was $35 - won't do that again - wasn't worth the extra $$$ - I can now paint my own toes (no more tummy in the way)- and since winter is coming soon - I won't be getting pedi's as my feet are in enclosed shoes and heels are fine in the winter - and toes - I let them breath (clear or no polish or super shear pink) My GD is into motorcycles not dolls :0) but they are cute.. Great - Heck I thought in Denver it got cold - well I guess not as cold as apples - I bet she has a hell of a winter bill - you don't have any a/c at all - ugh -doesn't it get hot there??

Let us know... Laura - Busy weekend for you... I'm on and off w/fv - this month on - but will lose interest sometime Joyce - Yesterday was a pig out day ;0) As I was eating when I wasn't hungry - really the only thing I should have avoided cuz i don't do much cheese was the quesidilla as I wasn't physically hungry - but mentally and tastbuds.. dinner ended up being yellow crooked neck squash - chick thigh - sf ice cream - Today's Plan food BF - greek yogurt/blkberries & rasberries lunch - chick thigh & squash Dinner - chich thigh - 1/2 sweet potato & a veggie or maybe just veggie and no tato - will see how I feel tonite - gotta say I crave veggies alot more than starches now a days..

I love spring and fall too - cooler weather - no a/c - $400 bill for last month - but now that Andrew is gone - we will see how much it goes down - I know my Water and gas bill will see the most reduction - he took hr long HOT showers.. and put the dryer on arid dry he never used the temp function (it will turn off when clothes are dry) Didn't do crap today - but eat - watch t.v - read - nap - farm & frontier ville - FB Oh did 3 loads of wash (small) Food - 1 egg 2 small slices of bacon it shrunk to nothing - hash browns 1/3 of a red potato - chick thigh and quesdilla and popcorn - and I havent had dinner :0) which will be chick thigh and 1/2 sweet tato or maybe just veggied..

Good Morning Gang.. Yep Karla got to sleep til 7 - well up at 4 then 5 (with dogs)- but gave the babies their morning treats - left the back door open and when back to bed - but at 7 Angel was waking me up... 7 is a good time to get up - I've had my coffee - read the paper - put a load in - made the bed - loaded the dishwasher - Now that I am an empty nester - not as much in the dishwasher - sliverware - coffee cups and my small $1 bowls from Target - no plates or big bowls since andrew's gone. Don't know what I am going to do today - I could sit and put pictures in frames and hang them - but I'm terrible at hanging stuff ;0) and then it seems like when I mess w/pictures pple die... So i feel a little jinx about messing with them - stupid I know but still. I may just read and watch t.v. - I know I was going back to target for something I forgot yesterday - but today I can't remember what that was !!!! Candice Great idea about the earrings - yep we are with you in spirit.. You will do fine !! You are a great singer.. Ya we want pic of MH..

I hear you on priorities - sometimes I just want to be home and not out and about w/pple ;0) - I enjoy my own company Phyl - Can't wait to see photos of Cody - Enjoy your time with him...

Good Morning Gang.. Julie Congrats on being a Grandma again :0) Well not much to report - was able to eat dinner last night (chick thigh) but then had to wait a while to eat my 1/2 sweet potatoes.. Got to sleep until 7 this morning - well was up at 5 but went back to bed :0) Dogs woke me up at 7.. They just don't let me sleep - but 7 is a good time to get up.. No exercise this a.m. - Pilos teacher on vacation and I don't need boby pump (weight lifting) as I did that yesterday...

Yes we need to live - I was thinking about going to the store and getting Snow's clam chowder - they don't carry it at winco or target.. Cream soup every now and then is allowable even w/a busicut and a little butter ;0) Schooling - I've never done online either nor classes - my college equivalent classes were home study.. But I admire you for going back to school - hell it would interfer w/my fb and lbt time :0) and my exercise too.. I think I am headed to the couch too to watch a movie or read or both ;0) No exercise in the a.m. - plios teacher is on vacation and they are doing body pump instead - I already lift weights and I didnt' care for turbo kick boxing that much - it was ok for cardio - but that's about it - we will see - might go to that one but it's at 9 - hell it's not like the dogs will let me sleep in anyway...

Good Evening Gang Well had gym this morning - I am not going to be able to walk by Monday... Then went and took car in to get new tires (so we have a safe trip Phyl) walked over to AT&T to get new battery for my phone as it doesn't hold a charge for more than a day - day and half. Oh tried these riding boots on at Target - loved them - so came home showered went to Macy's they had $10 free cash - but the boots at Target were just as cute and only $39 instead of $100+ so went back to Target got the boots - some food home - ate some popcorn and took a little nap.. Having bbq ck for dinner w/sweet potato.. Was so tight last night I couldn't eat my dinner - had a bowl of sf ice cream instead - was concerned that I wasn't getting my nutrition - so while at Target got some pure pt shakes - funny how now I think about nutrition where as before never did - I think working out with trainer & weights helps - I know I need pt & complex carbs to exercise and build muscle.. Eva - WTG on the shopping - I know you aren't much of a clothes shopper ;0) - Nite are the worse for me and stress at work will kick in the want to eat - the lady next to me had chocolate at her desk she's gone on vacation - sso I ate 2 and then took the candy to my bosses office (he's the one who's the chocoalich) so no more temptation.. Linda - Glad Katie is doing better and going to take responsibility for her healthy (prayer & good ju ju as laurak says) Make sure Alayha dad signs legal papers giving up parental rights or by law she goes to him - I had a gf who died her DD went to her dad (she did know him) but she should have stayed w/her aunts who had helped raise her.. Can't wait to hear about the show - I would love to be picked.. Julie - At least you are going back and hopefully they will have results from some of the test you took - Take it easy girl - rest.. Joyce - I'm watching it (hoarders) well did last weekend - use to watch the bbc verision - have you ever seen that one - the 2 english ladies - that was a cute one. But I don't think they had therapy in that one.. Charlene - Yep TMI w/our mirrors :0) Eva - I wish I could have a swamp they are nice to have - had one at xdh house we used it most of the time.. WTG on your walking - Yep our weather is cooling off.. I'm w/you back in the day if I had walked for any length of time - I would be whipped and would do nothing but rest - now I can go go go - have a little rest and keep on ticking just like a timex ;0) I've laid in the sun a bit wasn't a super sun worshiper and as a toddler went to the beach every summer - pre sun block days and have had many burns - and for a while in the mid 90's did the tanning booths - and have had some pre-cancerous stuff removed - need to go get checked - since I can't see my back - but they did the ultraviolet test on my skins and it shows layers and layers of damage.. Now I use the self tanners and don't mess w/the sun ;0) Charlene - WTG on 2 walks today !!! Jessica - Hugs on Jake - testing will be good - you will have some answers - Just stay out of the drama - yep grownups are full of it too.. Gwen - Sounds like you are doing great !!!!

Well gang need to go bbq my ck and feed the doggies - cbl..

Good Evening Gang Well had gym this morning - I am not going to be able to walk by Monday... Then went and took car in to get new tires (so we have a safe trip Phly) walked over to AT&T to get new battery for my phone as it doesn't hold a charge for more than a day - day and half. Oh tried these riding boots on at Target - loved them - so came home showered went to Macy's they had $10 free cash - but the boots at Target were just as cute and only $39 instead of $100+ so went back to Target got the booths - some food home - ate some popcorn and took a little nap.. Linda When will they know the results of the biospy?? What's his psa #.. (I think that's what its called) Phyl - I don't know how Bella or my other dogs would react to thunder - we haven't had any thunderstorms in ages... Safe travels - When will you be here - Can't wait to get my White Choc - having a cup of coffee (so I can stay up past 9) and it would be good ;0) - Hugs on your back... Karla - your tightness must be catching - last night I was so tight I couldn't eat my dinner - had a bowl of ice cream instead - Got some protein shakes today - gotta have my nutrition.. What a diff a couple of yrs make - I would never have thought about nutrition before ;0) - Now it's what on am about ;0) being healthy.. You don't grumble about homework - you go girl getting some education at this stage in your life - that's a great accomplishment !!! Never had corn chowder - but it sounds good - I haven't really tried to eat today - except for the popcorn and that's a slider for me - am a little wary - I think dehydration might have something to do with it )being tight)- I have been terrible about getting my water in.. I got some chicken thight's going to bbq them.and have a sweet potatoe - don't know about veggies.. Candice - Sorry I missed you this morning - I guess I had left for the gym - the computer is always on - but I'm not always on it.. What are you doing this weekend... Well, need to go ck the dryer - washed my pillows (they say washable - never washed then in the 6 yrs - so giving it a try - may have to go to bed bath and beyond tomorrow... CBL

Gwen Welcome Home ! Yes $$ does equate to better food and weight issues - a top ramen cost 25 cents. This is why most poorer pple are in food lines weighing 200 lbs and you think they sure don't look like they have missed a meal - it's all about the foods they eat that are cheap - starch - fats - Veggies, fruit & meat are more $$$ Be happy w/your 1/2 a pound it's a loss and not a gain and after a yr all those 1/2 lbs adds up.. Balletgirl - This is why 3 yrs later I'm still on lbt - it's my support - it keeps me honest and accountable. Come back and be accountable.. We will kick your butt - give you tough love - we are here for you.. So you are a vegetarian?? I am a carnivor ;0) don't know if I could give up meat - don't eat tons of red meat - but do occasionally and I eat tons of fish.. I am going to call you the b word ;0) with love cuz I'm jealous - Well next month you are coming to Vegas - and that trumps Hawaii ;0).. Cheri - You are the glycimic queen and how all that works in your body ;0) Hugs to your DD I would never ever trust super cuts w/my hair - I am to freaking vain - I have to have 10 references before I would go to a new hair dresser .. I eat that sf candy when I need help in that department ;0) every now and then I will get gas pains in my shoulder - haven't had it in a while - but if I over eat I will ;0) To funny about your Mom - I have been messing w/pictures all evening - for some reason my camera will take a grainy pic and the next will be clear... Charlene - they sell the boots #7 at target - I used it for a few months - but didn't see much improvement - heck - my road map face needs laser and the knife - I don't think they make plastic surgery in a bottle yet.. That's my problem too I have a 5x & 10 x mirror :0)

I'm 55 and I do boot camp at 24 hr fitness every week .. It's no that bad - am sweating like a pig by the end of class - but I can hang w/the young ones..

Please check w/your doctor 1st... I think I had a few months before I could do weights and in my boot camp we workout w/weights... And we do a lot of crunches... You are still healing so IMHO ck w/your doc to get clearance ...

Charlene - She is a BEAUTIFUL baby - Truly !!!!! I have used retin A - it never really did much for me - but I have tough skin I think.. I got a couple spots but no too bad.. Great - Ya I think your batteries are shot - heck it's time to put in new batteries anyway (time changes soon). Once I had to go to the store at midnite to get batteries cuz mine wouldn't shut up..

Good Morning Peeps Great - the smoke detector goes off in Andrew's room - sometime just from a candle - I have to turn the fan in his room on and it will go off - is your roof/ceiling so high that you can't use a broom handle to hit the reset button Joyce - I didn't have a large family but I'm noise sensitive ;0) As far as my advice - We know why we are gaining - we aren't stupid we are in denial that's all - that's one reason to this day I still sorta count calories and am very mindful of my eating - like I said I eat the same today as I did 2 yrs ago during my weight loss - now I have a few more treat.. and if a lbs or 2 come on - then I really watch the treats - but again - I just eat healthy not dieting - the days of eating sugar - fat in high quanities are over - It's all about getting the lifetime lifestyle change.. Eva - Love it - life's an adventure - great way to look at car problem - I hate car issues.. How' your restriction?? could you use a tweek or is it about your food choices?? WTG on your walk.. Linda - Glad SD is holding her own and they know whats wrong - OMG homework - well thats a bit much - but again I'm old school ;0) Well shower time - cbl - TGIF gang

Good Morning Peeps Steph - I guess I was lucky Andrew brushes his teeth 10 times a day and showers almost as much ;0) you know that an exaggeration - Joseph - well he was pretty clean - don't think he brushed as much as he should. Hugs - hopefully he will get it - Rant vent all you want.. Karla - At least you enjoy your job at the nursery ;0) Hope DD is feeling better.. Well I'm glad it's friday too - have gym Sat morning (make up for monday) no other plans - oh ya tires - but that's it..

Has your doc ck'd your band - you may have a leak

IMHO LBT is the best source for info It's was here I was told - your band is only a tool - it's not going to lose the weight for you - it doesn't make your food choices and it doesn't exercise - all that is all up to you.. I joined LBT 5/14 and when I saw my doc for the 1st time he was surprised that I was so knowledgeable about what the band would and wouldn't do.. Also - I'm lucky my doc is aggressive w/his fills - got to my sweet spot in 2 fills and then had a tweek 1/10..
