Great Yea you joined - now you WILL go and get back in the habit :0) - it's a good habit - and you are lucky to go in the day time - If I were retired I would go every morning !!!! Join bunco that will be a great place to meet new pple. Monte Carlo sounds wonderful - I love the lazy river 2 opinions Charlene - There are tons of young pple at my gym (s) (I belong to 2) but who cares - I don't - You know what I figured when I first joined the gym 3 yrs ago - these pple can't hurt me - this is for me and I am doing it I am self concise about my arms - my trainer said - no one cares - no one is looking at you that hard - they are here to work out - you know what he's right - I am getting less self concise about them. Plus you know what I can keep up w/the youngster pretty damn good for a 55 yrs old x fat chick and that makes me feel proud of me.. WTG on the exercise - little advice - don't worry about what others think - do this for you. Eva - Me too I'm out the door - showered make up hair now off to spend $$$

Joyce CONGRATULATIONS FOR ONDERLAND !!!! WTG GIRL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!! :thumbup::party::smilielol5::party:

Good Morning Gang Didn't get up til 6:47 and you all know that's late for me - had gym at 8 - My exercise this week - Monday - Tuesday - Friday - Saturday Candice that slow walk you did - is moving but not really exercise ;0).. I don't have any real plans - Still in gym clothes - screwing around on FB and washing clothes Need to food shop - get hair color at beauty supply store - you know the usual weekend crap you have to do when you work ;0) Next Saturday Surpirse party for my GF and I am in charge of keeping her busy from 11 a.m till 6:30 - and its the weekend before I leave - so that means on Sunday I will be busy - wanted to wait to get nails done that weekend - and gotta stock up the house w/food for Andrew & Kaitlin and what a 3 day work week .. What are Aunt Flo Beans?? Phyl - Hugs on Uncle Ed - I know he's not your fav person but at the same time we don't wish bad on him - he does take care of your Mom - Prayers - Keep up posted Well is that Pike Pete something we want to see - is is like peir 39 in San Francisco - (tourist trap ;0) Karla - what time is Steph picking you up - is it wed or Thursday - How long of a drive is it??? If I lived closer to you I would be there to get your house in order ... Andrew's asleep - came in around 4 - Kaitlin is at gf suppose to come home today.. When I got back from gym - Ryder chewed up paper towels - so I had to pick up that mess and vaccum.. I really need to shower and get dressed - but hell I do that 5 days a weeks - Sometimes it's just nice to vegge at home no make up no hair - just house dress and t.v. ;0)

Good Morning I didnt' get up till 6:45 which you all know is late for me :0) Had to farm then be at gym by 8 a.m. Monday - Tuesday - Friday - Saturday - All gym days for me this week - WTG Janet !!! I lead by example :thumbup::smilielol5: Ok 10/1 is the date we are sticking to ... I like the resort place just cuz it's like a condo instead of a hotel room - My Vote is the Resort - unless Laura comes back w/good reviews on the hotel and price ;0) That needs to play into it too - Since Phyl will be driving in w/me - I assume we will share - and I know her habits ;0) not a morning person lol.. Eva - I'm w/you the days I am on the computer no one is here and the days I am busy - the thread is jumping and I can't keep up :0)

Rates in August would be lower than Oct - I just have so much vacation time - and I have my Furlough Fridays - Usually the 1st Friday of the Month - So August would work for me :0) I could do labor day weekend too.. So who's in - who's not.. We just need for sure head count - I know Phyl can't in Aug - I think she has a wedding.. Joyce - you - Me - Eva - Apple maybe in August.. Those are my times -

Charlene - WTG on your 2 lbs - Yeepee on the food !!!! Eat Healthy !!!! Phyl GF you have restiction if it took you that long to eat.. 10/1 to 10/3 are dates - You going to be here that early??? I can't do Sept as lady I work with is out the whole month and then last part of Oct she's going on a cruise - so that's out - and I already have my last 2 weeks planed.. August is the only other time I can take pto - but most of you would die in vegas that time of yr - Eva & I would be the only 2 who could take it..

Linda - I sent you message on fb - yep my computer is on and I'm not always on it ;0) Estate stuff is almost done - house sold - ck book w/accountant for final accounting - then lawyer goes to court and hands everything over to the trustee - but the only thing I really have left now - is to pay the closing utlities bills.. After that nothing but wait.. Yea Candice - I'm just to scared to do it - I would hate to be that 1% that it doesn't work for ;0) - my distant isn't bad - it's my reading thats awful - but with contact get improvment not perfect but like right now I can read the computer.. WTG on food Kari - is having some foot issues - I told her to stop by and say hi Karri - is Karri - busy as every I gotta go going to be late for gym cbl

Good Morning Laura Hugs on Dad - Ya that's a hard one - safe trip home and yes you have the best dh !!! BandRanger - Yep losing weight is all about calories in vs calories out - no matter what you do - Thats why keeping a food diary is a proven fact in helpping pple lose weight Eva ya a block off the strip is cool w/me - but again I really would like my own room - I agree - I like the idea of being able to sit and chat like we did in FL and it's nice to have a fridge for our left overs ;0) Ya ck it out - My gf and I stayed at Trump for $89 a night 2 yrs ago - and that place was great - I just want clean ... But I don't think they are having deals like that anymore TV ya it will come down - 6 yrs ago my projection cost $2400 - lcd/plasma where like $4000 and today they are $1400 - so it will come down :thumbup:

Good Morning Gang Drive by as I have been farming and now time to get in the shower... Karla WTG on Planning !!!! No puppy yet - she's cking out another one today ;0) Candice - How are you doing - hope all went well.. cbl xoxox J

Great - that's what I got the Costco 24 hr fitness package - lke $12. a month Plus at 24 hrs classes are included - hell you are retired - it's not like you gotta jam there before or after work ;0) - 24 hr fitness is where I do my boot camp - I didn't think my workout tuesday was that hard - well - my back muscles sore from push ups and my tush and hamstrings are sore too - so I am getting a work out !!! my vote 24 hrs fitness.... But I get the closed to home - easier to go.. I'm lucky my gym is like 2 or 3 city blocks - I could walk if it wasn't so hot and the gates issues - i can't get out unless I follow a car ;0) - I could get a key - well maybe this fall..

sf - sugar free pt - protein pb- productive burp slime - just that ;0) Stuck - golf ball in your chest lf - low fat for me carbs = starches - bread - rice - potatoes - pasta - etc things like veggie corn, fruit do have carbs but healthy imho ;0)

Laurak - Let us know - I had a gf stay at Imperial something - it's in the center of the strip - but I read poor reviews - I want clean and a coffee pot ;0) We will be doing a lot of walking ... as far as meals - in vegas that's no problem - I know of a neat little italtian restaurant right off the stip - $20 for 3 course meal w/wine..

Jbandranger Well the best advice I got 3 yrs ago is #1 The band is only a tool and not the magic cure all to our issues w/food - #2 This is really about a lifetime lifestyle change in your eating and exercise habits - Diets don't work cuz when you go off them and quit exercising - - you go back to eating normal and sitting on your butt 24/7 - that's what got us fat in the 1st place.. The band once you get proper restriction helps you feel full on a smaller amount of food - but you can eat around it - It sure isn't the easy way out - but it is a great help... It helped me lose 114 lbs - 250 vs 136 - and I was 52 when banded I lost 105 lbs in the 1st yr and the other 9 lbs in the next couple of months - I stopped keeping tabs on my weight loss after the 1st yr.. But I averaged 9 lbs a month - some weeks 2 - some .5 - some 3 - but all that mattered was 1 yrs later I lost 105 lbs #3 I am a very firm believer in keeping a food diary (I did it for 1 yr) I weighted and measured my food for the 1st 4 months until I knew what 4 oz looked like - I exercised 4-5 days a week that first yr - I now exercise 3-4 days a week - I eat healthy - I never dieted - I eat Protein 1st - then veggies and limited starches - I eat low fat and mostly sf... I eat healthy 98% of the time and allow for treats 2% of the time.. I still eat off a dessert plate & use 1 cup bowls - I don't drink w/meal - Follow your doc's orders to the tee... I am almost 3 yrs out and I have maintained my weight loss for 2 yrs now - I have never done that before... I feel 10 yrs younger and have 1 mil times more energy - I am finally the person who I was under all that fat....

Well are we Aunties to a new puppy/dog ??? You are killing me -This is like a soap opera !!! You don't eat alot of carbs - you eat crackers and that's about it ... Well when you are partying you eat carbs - but at home you don't... Yep when I need to drop a few lbs I go back to keeping a diary - it works..

hugs & prayers for safe surgery !!!! Love you!!!

Good Morning Gang Laura hugs on DD issues - yep they don't think ahead or get all the info.. Eva - I just want pple to choose which hotel - that's it and then we will each separately reserve our rooms - easier than trying to collect $$$.. Well fly by - gotta hit the showers... CBL

Candice - Love it - we dont know nothing ;0) lol - that's right - we have 50 yrs experience - but just like our parents tried to telll us we didn't listen - we have to make our own mistakes... LOL last night Andrew was giving me advice on my parenting skills (dog ones) - I just laughed - I'm 55 vs his 19 yrs - ya right ... Karla DD# 4 isn't making good choices - we all know that - she's changing bf every couple of months - But these are her mistakes - this is her life - all we can do is give our 2 cents and then just shake our heads - but I do crack up on the sleeping w/someone and then moving in - remember those 1 night stands - I know I had a few ;0) - but I'm was a bit wild :0) There are days I don't want the responsiblity of my dogs either - but then there are the days I love them to death.. Food - for me - good yesterday 137 which I was very happy with since I ate cake when the kids were here.. I am trying to learn to relax some about my food and it does seem to help - I am still very aware - but if you are eating healthy 98% of the time - those other times are going to kill you.. Don't take Snacks - then you can't eat... Thats what I do at work - if I had stuff at my desk I would be eating it . Phyl - so are we going to ck out the dog today?? How was doc (well I know but the others don't) and dinner w/family... Time get in shower - cbl

Lost my post Golden Nugget $129 per night - Old Downtown... Strip Hotels Luxor - $88 or $92 per night Excalibur - $101 per night New York New York $112 per night Las Vegas Hilton $104 per night Harrahs $125 per night Monte Carlo $125 per night Flamingo $135 per night ok ck out these places - and let me know - each person will make their own reservations once we pick a hotel..

Joyce - Ya I think most of us need our recharge time... I know I do ;0)

Phyl - I was going to have NOTHING to do w/Angel - and guess who's dog she is... Bear & Ryder are Andrews - Angel is my dog.. So I bet you a drink he caves... Karla - OMG girl - since when sleeping w/someone means that you want to live with them - You have are thinking w/your 50 yr old brain - not your 20 yr old brain - And ya how are you going to get a job with a broken wrist -I could see doing a modified job if you had one already but getting a new one - don't know about that one .. Does montana have lakes - canals - Water work places - where there could be pumps under the water and may he wants to move to TX and work on Oil Rigs ;0) or for Seaworld ;0) Candice - I like getting up early - I use to be a night owl - now I am an early bird - Take your meds earlier... So I guess you aren't going to use lasik as a reward ;0) On your Mom's teeth - she has to have them to eat - so ya in a way it's necessary.. Prayers and Hugs for a safe surgery - I like you in glasses - and you are braver than me ;0) xoxoxo J

Good Evening Gang Ya 10/1 - is good for me - who want's to look for hotels - where's Joyce???? I think i better go ck FB as I don't think I have here email - Julie - is she on the list??? I'll ck a few - remember - No Monte Carlo :0) - What amount of $$$ do you all want to spend for a room - I will have my own too - since I am the smoker ;0) Who's going ??? Me, Great, Joyce, Eva, Phyl, Linda - Maybe Apples & Julie -Who Else Judy?? Linda last nite was alot of squats/lunges and then push ups - I wore heals yesterday and my toes kept cramping - and push ups I can do a few (5) and I don't go super low - but can do one - where as I never in my life could do one before.. Just with 5 lbs weight - doing latt raise - my arms are sore - plus I did arms on Monday w/Idrise.. Plus when I tried to do girl pushups - the wood floor on my knees was like being on rocks.. Great - you need to take a pic of the toyota - I can't beleive it's totalled from hail... Wow - but again I live in the desert where cars get sand blasted instead of hail damage :0) Phyl - I sure hope the rain clears up before 7/1 :0) I'm going to look stupid at the airport leaving Palm Springs 100+ degrees carrying a jacket :0) Hugs on your shoulder & wrist.. Kurby - I only had 1 week pre-op - I saw doc on 5/31 - got approved like 6/21 had surgery 7/17 and I had every test in the book - mamo - pap - colon - 3 heart test (echo - couldn't do treadmil long enough had nuclear stress test) - lungs - shrink and 14 vials of blood.. So I had last meal mindset - I gained 6 lbs between 5/31 and 7/6 the day I started pre-op.. I didn't change my eating until I got my band.. Major surgery was my ah ha moment.. Charlene - Just start eating - I agree you have hit a plateau - have a shake or 1/4 c egg beater for bf (keep calories about 200 max) lunch the same (200 -300 cal) dinner 300 - 400 cal and 2 or 3 100 cal snacks and vary those calories Hugs on you Mom - hell it's tough to get old.. Julie - We love you - Glad you are working smart !! Hugs on the tooth - how did it go.. Well no gym tonite - it was moved to Friday as Idrise had to go to Oregon to DD graduation.. I'm glad - been up since 4:30 and a little sore.. PS - forgot about OVC - I saw a bracelet on that show this morning - I watch QVC while I get ready for work - I have a t.v. in my bathroom - after 10 minutes of the news in the a.m. it just repeats it's self - so in my bathroom the t.v. is ALWAYS on QVC :0).. I didn't buy anything - I am already bankrupt from watching it - ;0)

Good Afternoon Gang ... Diana - I had a shitzu/lapso mix - Muffin - she was the BEST DOG !!!! She died 18 yrs ago - Yesterday was the 18 yr anniversary of my Dad's death and she die right after that - that one one hell of a year (92) My stepmom died 5/12 - my Dad died 6/15 and Muffin 6/28 Sounds like you have restriction - what's your doc's orders after a fill - I have to do one week each phase - Karla & me are the early risers - You would think Candice would be being 3 hrs ahead of us - but she isn't - hell it's 9 in Canada when it's 6 here - even on the weekends I'm up early - I have to be to work by 7:30 a.m. Phyl - How did the doc visit go??? Candice What up w/you today... Karla - What did you do today... How's dd#4 (heck I find that easier than trying to remember names ;0) I'm sore from boot camp - don't have gym tonite - but have it friday night

Ya I was SHOCKED !!! cuz it was 4:30 or 5ish - my stupid dogs woke me up at 4:30 - and what's 1/2 hr more sleep so I stayed up... As is was on FB or LBT my skypes - said Phyl on line and I thought WTH she is NEVER up this early.. Ya on the dog - have you seen the dog in person - have you played with it - If it's well behaved then no problem traveling you can take them on the plane - I think my Angel would bark the whole time and want out of the carrier and I don't think you can let them out.. But again my dogs aren't well trained - I really need Ceaser Milan ... I have a zoo at my house - Ryder chasing Sheba - then Angel chasing Sheba just cuz Ryder is - Bear humping Ryder - Can't leave anything on the counter and turn your back - Ryder will get it.. I like small dogs myself - they can't get stuff off the counter ;0) I think you need to see the dog to know if it's for you.. You gotta interveiw it..

I hear you on how we look in our minds eye we are younger looking - but I know I do look better than some of my freinds - ;0) or at least just as good ;0) We are beautiful - just don't use a magnafying mirror and don't put on the glasses then we can't see the wrinkles :0) !!!! Safe trip-Hugs on dentist - sending good thoughts.. xoxox
