Shopping i guess Phyl - just saw that you are on line (skpyes) are you really up this early.. Are you getting the dog today - what time is your dr appt..

Love the clothes Apples - I need that guy !!! $5 buck a piece ya I would have given him more too - wtg.. ok gang - dinner's done - going to go watch tv and eat Jessica where are you - Melissa - how are you doing Charlene - yes imho you need to eat real food - this is a lifestyle change and you have to learn to eat real food in moderation and 12 weeks is enough to get you weened from your drug of choice phyiscally - but as I usually say - the majority of our food issues are in our heads and not our stomachs.. Hugs everyone !!!!

OMG Apples - the diff !!!! Not the same person - why don't you use your avatar pic vs that one - that's a current pic... Have a great mini vacation- Happy Bandanniversary on the 17th - Good luck at the dentist tomorrow.. Well gang - did boot camp again tonite - was a diff work out I liked last weeks better - I did sweat - but i sweated more last week.. Julie glad you are doing better and your mom is ok.. Linda - hugs & prayers on your dh surgery today Charlene - doc tomorrow?? glad you are feeling better Eva - I'm with you I am getting off the computer in just a sec oh looks like I have to go back a page - gotta see the picks and see that linda's dh is fine .. CBL

Diana - Welcome - the size of your band and the # of cc's in it doesn't matter - we are all diff - no 2 pple alike when it comes to fills - just be happy if you have restriction.. Candice WTG on food - I sent Steph a note on FB about Karla backing out - she's on it - she has some rally coming up this weekend.. LOVE IT LOVE THE COLORS... OMG he said get it - he must be feeling guilty about being a butt head lately... Obama isn't that bad and this oil spill isn't a political matter really - it something that needs to get fixed and prevented in the future and bp is going to go broke and pple's retirements are going to go to hell in a handbasket (pple who are invested in bp) Its a terrible situation - I see why pple don't want off shore drillng.. Accidents do happen.. Weather - it has to be like 80 for capri's for me - It's just going to be hard to pack when it's so hot here and I gotta find stuff for cooler weather- I don't care I will enjoy the coolness - it's just i have put up my winter clothes and hell I really don't have that much stuff for cold weather as you know it doesn't get that cold here;0) Diana - WTG on your weight loss - you are doing great - and the clothes exchange is a good idea - hit reply go scroll down - see manage attachments - click that - then go to where your pics are stored on your computer (see browse) then pick one - click to up load - you can up load 5 at a time then hit submit Well had boot camp tonite - diff routine - I liked last week better - I did sweat but not as much.. Weill it's almost 8... Karla has her masters stuff I think -

Just ck'd weather for WA in July - 74 high-54 low - Ok it's 105+ here most likely 110 by 7/1 - 74 is long pant weather for me - and 54 is parka weather for me - so I guess - I will be bringing long pants - and long sleeve - will need a blanket in the mornings to go out and smoke w/my coffee - I am not packing a robe - it would take up my whole suit case.. Phyl - I wish there was something he could do - He needs a hobby - is does he like to build stuff - model cars planes etc - I know he likes the gym and hot tubs.. The puppy - since it's a lap dog you can brush her/him in your lap - I usually only take mine to the groomer every couple of months - but that's cuz 2 dogs are expensive.. One would be managable.. Candice hugs on the shoulder - I didn't know quilting could hurt your ;0)... I liked the boot camp - I felt like I got a workout - my gf Linda and I are going again tonite - it's going to be our new Tuesday exercise - Plus Idrise isn't going to be here Wed - so that's been postpone to Friday - and then may have another one Sat morning as he still owes us a make up session.. Nope didn't feel the 4 pt one - but the one last night 5.7 to 5.9 who knows what it was - was just a roller and you could barely feel it - if you were moving around you wouldn't have felt it at all.. Well better get back to work... cbl Hugs !!!!

Good Morning Karla - One project at a time... Like I said pick one room start there - finish that then move forward... Phyl - love the dog - groomer about every 6 weeks like getting your hair done - but you can still bath & brush her and trim her yourself - then like I said every couple months take her in for a professional job - Potty training is the most important imho - and if she's that and not a yappier - then go for it.. well gotta hit the showers.. Candice - good food day & exercise day - I have boot camp tonite ;0)

Just has the weirdest EQ - could barely feel it - but it was a long one rolling one just ck'd it was 5.7 that's not a baby - - We had a 4.2 jolt the other day Off to bed - Apples - Hugs on your dentist - will respond tomorrow :0)

Just has the weridest EQ - could barely feel it - but it was a long one rolling one just ck'd it was 5.7 that's not a baby - - We had a 4.2 jolt the other day I better get more water :0) - Glad the bbq is full of gas - at least we will be able to cook ;0) Ya Earl can have strong veiws on things ... I can't beleive he gets so riled up over the stuff he does.. Hugs - Maybe he need some zoloft !!! got any left - slip them in his coffee.. Karla You are putting the cart before the horse - Like Phyl said - one thing at a time - You are going to drive yourself crazy - you need to slow down take a chill pill girl - You need to start with the inside of the house - pick on room and work on nothing but that till it's done - then move on to the next room - outside can wait - at a certain point stop - eat your dinner - play with the dogs and vegge then hit the hay - and start over the next day... Why do you do this to yourself - it's not going to be perfect overnight - it take time to make a house a home - and then what are you going to come up with to worry about.. Quit getting in your own way - making life impossible -- even when all that crap is done - you are going to have a millon other things you want to do.. Slow down.. Take one day at a time... You live in your house so imho that would be my 1st concern - getting the inside organized - then move to the outside - then worry about remodeling.. Well it's almost 10 - came to turn off the computer ;0) Talk to you all in the morning.. Oh Phyl - put your name on one box and earl's on the other one - lets see who goes thru them fastest... and every time you eat one make a mark on the box - that way he can't say you dont' remember ;0) Well we will be there in 2 weeks ... so you will have a few days w/your gf !!!

Phyl - Hugs Hugs Hugs - I don't know how you do it.. But I guess I have never been around anyone as long as you 2 have been together - there will be days like that sometimes mamma said ;0) - Get the darn dog - he can move to the motor home w/his cat :0).. Glad you got out of the house - why isn't he going to the gym and avoiding the scale - well that's doing what?? We all know what that does..

Welcome Anny - Glad to have you join our thread.. Looking forward to chatting w/you... Charlene - You will be fine just watch our for the salt and drink plenty of water the day before your weigh in and the day of don't till after you weigh in ;0) I think Apples said she wouldn't be back until Tuesday - but I thought I saw her name at the bottom lurking ;0) Love the Hair Phyl - yo can really see the highlights - Sweetie you have been doing so good on your food - I think it's the salt - you do eat salty stuff (crackers cheese) I don't think you have been eating anymore than you did before you got deflated... Well day after tomorrow - you get to start getting refilled.. Kurby - we might miss something one day - but the next day we remember - most of us on here can be your big sisters or mother ;0) If I remember right you are in your late 30's early 40's - remember I'm 55 can crs half the time :0) Well, Gang back from the gym - weights arms - veggies started - dinner fish - butternut squash and green beans.. Where is everyone Eva still unwinding from work -(it was hot here today gf) - Julie - Judy - Pam - Jessica - Jodi (how was the sleep over ;0) LauraK - Laura is in NC w/parents - saw a pic on fb airplane & Nelson.. Well - I did get 1/2 book read this weekend - haven't done that in ages - I have read it before - Plantation by Dorothea Benton Frank- her new book is coming out tomorrow - and I think I read it's taking up where this one left off and I read it about 10 yrs ago - so needed to catch back up - I remember some of it but not all of it.. cbl gang..

WTG Candice !!! They do make lighter wheel chairs now adays.. Heck you have a van it shouldn't to hard to get in and out.. Yep getting old is a bitch especially when our brains are like still 30 ;0) Back from the gym - fish - butternut squash and green beans for dinner

Good afternoon gang 10 mintues til I have to leave - not time to start anything.. Phyl - How are you feeling this afternoon - what's wrong Candice - how was your time w/your mother.. Karla - FYI - I have called in the reinforments - you are not backing out.. Well have gym tonite - will ck back later..

Linda - Yes I am stressing eating healthy - she gets it - they ordered fast food and she didn't get any - but yesterday after she had her lunch - they ordered pizza - I stayed out side - cuz you know me I can't keep my mouth shut - I know she had 1 piece - then I am pretty sure that she asked and got a second - so when dinner came - I made her plate - ribs and corn on the cob - no mac salad and she got a skinny cow for dessert - Yes you may be at your happy weight - and that's a ood thing - you don't want a # that you will have to struggle to maintain.. Hugs & Prayers for DH sugery tomorrow Welcome Diana - Jump right on in !!!!! There's always room for one more Tell us about you !!!

Welcome - Please change your name - not a postivtive name ;0) You are on your way to be healthy :0) Weight loss varies - there is no norm... Are you following your doc's advice - what are you eating - how many calories - you can't exercise till doc gives ok - you can walk but that will be about it for the 1st 6 to 8 weeks. to change your ticker - double click on it and follow the insturctions..-

Great - I just keep reinforcing eating healthy - my dil & other gd call her chunky monkey - but think i'm being mean on stressing healthy eating - I don't call her names or say things like such a pretty face if only she would lose some weight - I asked her this morning to eat healthy for LaLa and she said she would. Charlene - you didn't gain 2 lbs that just use water retention - no way did you eat 7000 calories to gain 2 lbs..

Phyl - Why are you depressed.... What's going on????

Candice You haven’t let anyone down – You DESERVE to be healthy… God doesn’t dole out punishments/rewards – when someone we love dies – it’s not God punishing us – when something good happens it’s not a rewards – life is life – it is what we are given and we have choices on how we deal with what we are dealt with and I think there are lessons to be learned from those experiences – good and bad.. Yes there are terrible things happening in this world –– you want to help the starving pple of the world – take that $$$ you spend on junk and put in a jar and then once a month go donate it to your local homeless shelter – you wanta help – there you go – I just gave you a way to kill 2 birds with one stone … ;o) Some can do it on their own – some can’t – we are all diff – it doesn’t make one stronger or weaker – it’s life it’s our learning experience Definition of instantiy – doing the same thing over and over again and expecting diff results – this is a lifestyle change not a diet – you know sugar is your weakness – so don’t keep it in the house and when you you want to go out and buy some put that $$$ in the jar. Sweetie – I know that you don’t believe me – but you can do this … you really can’t – you can have your health – you deserve it – and you can still have an occassional treat :0) I gotta get back to work… CBL

Good Morning Gang.. Drive by - gotta hit the showers Kids leaving today - so house will be back to normal ;0) Melissa - Hugs - I just sent you a case of light bulbs :0) Jessica - Hugs on DS and congrats on loss Charlene - No way in hell would I put on a shower for that many pple - have done it for my office 20+ but that's it.. 2 lbs just water - don't sweat it..

Scary - don't think I want someone messing with my eyes - I have friends who have had it done and it's all good me - well that's another thing :0) I'm chicken ;0) Phyl - I think Earl is going to break down about the dog issue soon - 3 miles is a big goal - take it slow - I bet you can do it You are doing great w/your food.. Karla - You got your exercise !!! Just don't over cook your chicken and take tiny bites...

Good Morning Gang.... Eva I love the hair.. Julie - Too busy for me ;0) - glad the pain isn't as bad Melissa - Hugs - I wish I could help more - I wish I could turn on that light blub... But it will come on - just keep plugging away Kurby - I was 16 when I had my DS ;0) so I was one of those babies having babies ;0) - I was 36 when I became a grandma :0) Killing w/love that what they are doing - subsituting food for what they think is missing in their lives.. Great how cool just to jump on a plane and go where you want ;0) - so Denver isn't that far ;0) you can go anytime. Lucky you... Family time is great they are staying again today - Kaitlin will be staying till 7/11 - I am enjoying them but like right now can't do much cuz everyone is a sleep - i've been up since 5:30 Phyl love the pic - DH will give in ;0) about the puppy ;0)

LauraK - I think for some of us going to the extreme of having surgery - was our light switch flipping on.. Then for me the weight loss came from not dieting but eating healthy and moving and now - I feel just too good to go backwards. I wish so much that I could make pple see that.. My DIL is most likely 280 if not more - my poor little Brooke is like 80 lbs and she's 6 yrs old - It's killing me - today I told DS I want you to do something for me - he said what - I want you to quit killing Brooke w/love (food)... I guess they eat pizza w/ranch dressed - DIL pops ups it's lite dressing - well ya it might be light but if you eat half the bottle it's not light and if you just skip thoses extra calories - it will all add up She had taught Brooke to eat like her - STARCHES FATS SUGAR - just cuz it's yummy - well ya it might be yummy but do you want your dd to grow up morbidity obese and depressed as you are.. You guys just don't know how much this is killing me - even when I was morbidity obese - I didn't feed my DS or Grandkids like I ate - I knew what I was doing was wrong - I didn't want them to be like me - as most of us know being the fat girl in school is really really hard.. DIL said oh she rather not eat pizza if she can't have ranch dressing on it - 0mg she need help.. DS promised to take Brooke bike riding in the mornings - to feed her more fruit - less starches... DS has lost about 40 lbs which I am glad of.. They went to see DIL mom today - then stupid dil pops up w/I guess no Johnny Rockets (some greasy fast food place) - I told Brooke small hamburger but no fries and that's she's suppose to eat healthy cuz I love her and don't want her to get diabetes - heart disease and I want her healthy and I don't want kids to make fun of her.. She understands They just got home so I gotTA GO - but my Brooke didn't eat chilli cheese fries - cuz La La says they are unhealthy and she's eating healthy !!!! WTG Brooke ~~~ I will reply later = Love to all
