Good Morning Gang Got to sleep in till 7 this morning and you all know that's late for me.. Phyl - hear you about no middle grown w/Earl - Hugs.. I sure hope you get a doggie soon.. I agree - you don't need that scooter - I started to post about it the other day when you said you were on it - but didn't want to offend and I know that you cross a big busy street to get to your coffee lady.. But You don't need the darn thing!!! Earl is just so use to bring it along - remind him you had knee surgery and can walk now.. I hope the all inclusive is going to be a good experience - we are going to a top notch one - so fingers crossed. I know Linda enjoyed her's but the place she went was so big - that it was like a mile from the room to the beach - that's what I read on trip advisor about it. I really want the Oasis of the Sea cruise - want to see that ship - they are coming out w/a new one 12/5 something with an A - Assure or something like that .. Well maybe next year we can make our get together later in the year and do a cruise ;0).. Now I just gotta find a dog/house sitter.. and if I can't I guess I will have to kennel them - poor things in cages for a week.. Karla - sometimes you can't take plants and fruits across state lines.. If the more you carry those buckets the stronger your arms will be - you need weight training - and in a way carrying those buckets is weight training - just cuz you are older doesnt mean you have to be weaker - I think my arms are stronger now than 3 yrs ago.. Candice how did the visit go w/the kids - how much wine ;0) Well gang it's 9 I gotta get my shopping done (kids will be here Wed and I gotta get some food and clean out the pantry and fridge) finish my washing and veggie till I have to go back to work tomorrow - another short week as I have Thrus & Friday off - Going to the Beach on Thrusday.. CBL

Good Morning Gang !!! Got to sleep in till 7 a.m which is late for me ;0)... Agenda today - food shopping family will be here Wed.. Jodi - I am looking forward to a new experience - If I want to lay on the beach all day I can ;0) -I've seen the ruins - but will go again ;0) Just hope we have good weather.. Can't wait to hear how the party goes.. Well just a drive by it's almost 9 - need to get dressed and out of here before it gets too hot.. In the summer you do stuff early - 80 degrees at midnite.. I think it's about 90 right now suppose to be 106 - but bet that it gets hotter..

I Missed this yesterday Eva - Yep hot here too - sort humid today.. LOL you like the outdoors stuff - Well I'm a girly girl - I like the indoor stuff and a little outdoors every now and then OMG I have really paid attention to our pages lately lol - I remember we had a thing about who was the 1st poster on pg 500 ;0) - Well at your leisure - start at page one and read you will see my long post where I was giving advice lol Great Apples Charlene Julie have been here the longest with me - Great was like my 1st or 2nd poster l0).. I love cruising - the family wanted this and I think it may be fun - the part on cruising I don't like is the travel time for your excruision - 1 hr to get to the beach - 2 hrs at the beach and then another 1 hr to get back - I have 3 grandkids Andrew 19 lives w/me and has most of his life - Kaitlin 15 (will be 16 dec) and Brooke 6 - So if we were just taking brooke Disney would be find - but I don't know if I could handle all those little kiddies - nope don't think so.. Been there done that.. Ok Gang - How about a 3 dayer in October in Vegas - Who would be in !!!! It's cool enough by then for Vegas Lets see if we can get something going - of we can plan something for the 1st of next yr..

Good Evening Gang.... Kurby - Thanks for the bio.. Here's what info I got when I first joined lbt from the ladies who were banded before me.. #1 it's not the magic cure all to our issues w/food - it's only a tool - You have to change your eating habits - you need to do some kind of physical activity.. This is all about getting healthy - so your diet has to be healthy and to be healthy you have to move.. It's still work with the band - it makes the hard job of losing weight just a little easier I am a firm believer in keeping a food diary (i did it for the 1st year) - weight and measuring your food - especially in the beginning (did this for about 4-6 months) - you have to learn what a portion size looks like - you need to know the calories in the food you eat (you gotta read lables - i still do - it takes me forever in the grocery store) - you have to eat low fat - limited carbs and pretty much sugar free.. You have to follow your doc's orders to a t - you can't do what my doc says - I was 52 when banded 250 lbs 5'4 lost 105 lbs in 1 yr 1 week - by following the rules and exercising 4-5 days a week (now down to 3-4) I feel 10 yrs younger - have 100% more energy.. Have you started at page 1 of this thread and read forward - if not suggest you do - you will find alot of info in those pages.. Oh and Peaches who lives in Wasaga had surgery in Canada (Phyl it was Linda who went to Mexico - Karla - Kari ;0) Great - Come - Heck you get to fly free - I have never been to an all inclusive either.. This will be my 1st - it's #6 of 19 on trip advisor - I had gotten price for Oasis of the Sea (would have been a little cheaper too) - but the vote went to the all inclusive. I know that neither Andrew nor Joseph like dressing for dinner - and at this place we will eat when we want - Heck they have a french, brazilan & some other kind of restaurant - dil I will be hitting those ;0) - DS & kids are all plain eaters ... meat & tatoes kind of pple and have to have steak sauce on $100 piece of meat lol I would have really loved to gone on that ship - it's a destination in it's self.. Joyce - Yoga - that's why you look so young !!! LauraK - My trainer and I were talking about that the other day - Hell when I was 20 dated guys 3-5-10 yrs older - but I can tell you right now - I really couldn't see myself dating someone 60 or 65 - they would have to be a very young 60/65 yr old and active - Just for the reasons you stated - I don't want to go 24/7 - hell gf called and wanted to go out tonite - not in the mood - don't want to go listen to music and drink - I feel like staying in - but I do want someone who is able to keep up w/me when I want to go ;0)

Phyl - I love your DETERMINATION !!!! WTG :thumbup: YES YOU ARE GOING TO PROVE THEM ALL WRONG !!!! Report away !!!! I love to hear what pple eat anyway... Oh on the towels - 8 girls yes I get it - well I am one who uses the same towel all week - but we can wash too - so no biggie - but we do need 16 towel - 2 per girl - :0) Of course I would go to Mexico w/you !!! 7/1 can come fast enough can it - I think I would kill him - he would drive me to eat - he weighed the steak - I rarely ever measure food now a days. I am pretty good at portion sizes - plus i eat out of 1 cup bowls and small plates.. I would have said no it's not - I was 8 oz !!! Give me your steak - you can eat mine.. I guess there is a reason I'm not married.. Candice - I will be in RED WHITE & BLUE on the 4th !!! I always am ;0) - I got a cute top from QVC but it's too big - sending it back Monday - don't know if I should order xsmall or small- normally in most tops I am a medium and that's what I ordered but i am swimming in it - so I am thinking xsmall - I even have shoes with Flags on them... Don't think I will be bringing them due to the carry on limitation - Miami vices are red/white - I like them - have to add something blue. Karla - Girl you should have been a farmer ;0).. Well - food today - popcorn - 1 egg 1 slice lite bread 1 slice 2% cheese - made navy bean soup havent' had it yet- and today is treat day - got a reese pb candy ;0) Well I have booked our Vacation 11/27 - 12/4 - Kaitlin will be celebrating her 16th bday on 12/1 - Well if she lives that long - talked to melissa this afternoon - she is at that I hate my kid stage and would love to kill her right now - Kaitlin is being a mouthy little bitch- she doesn't know when to shut up - and she pits joseph against mom - joseph is always giving in - wonder where he got that lol - but he's worst than I ever was..

Phyl - I talked to my doc about sleeve - he said if Ilost my band - I would have to gain the weight back to get the slevee - I have Aetna - but I think they excluded WLS - Mexico is where I most likely would go if I couldn't keep the weight off - but I think that since we have learned to eat healthy - that we could keep it off - we did the work - the band just helpped.. I am pretty sure that stuff you sent said towels were included - it's a turnkey property so I think it should.. You are doing great under 200 - and don't let that notiion into your head you are going to gain - I bet you don't..

I meant Joyce - just read this - Julie must be thinking about me :0)- Julie - I have been to the ruins - been to the area on cruise and ex dh and i honeymooned in cancun - been to Mujeres. I think I am headed to the shower - get dressed and make reservations.. I got some $$ from my Aunts estate - that's how we are going - I was going to use it for a face lift - but rather make memories for my family.. Even though by the end of the trip we will be sick of each other :0)

Candice - We are here for you and you can't get the lasik till you lose 20 lbs - then that will be your reward.. How about that. We gotta play little games w/ourselves - I think that's a good one - lose 20 lbs then get the surgery.. But if you don't loose the 20 you can't get it - you spend $$$ on botox - you want to spend $$$ on eye - you have already spent the $$$ on your band - work your band 1st then move on to the other things as rewards..

Karla nope 107 isnt too hot for pool - it's perfect really - yes I put sun screen on - especially the face but will tan the body a bit - I tan if I go slowly.. Well off the to gym cbl

Good Morning Gang Welcome Kurby - Welcome - and congrats with your date.. We are online as we all live in diff parts of the country - all of us are USA we have 1 Canadian - Peaches - she lives near Ontario. We have gotten together and met - Some of us met last Feb and I have met my Lucky #7 group - infact we are having our 3rd reunion in July.. Linda - Glad you had a good time - can't wait to see the pictures - When I was married - we were going to get a mh and travel when I retired - but alas that won't be happening ;0) - Maybe I'll get a little one and do it on my own.. Sometimes they cut Angel too short :0) lucky hair grows fast :0) Cheri - your cross pen was like me getting just flowers (after the fact btw) for 30 yrs of service - some pple just don't get it - Joyce - I guess I missed the link - will have to go back and ck it out - Ok I just scrolled down - found the link - I think I need to go back a page :0) LauraK - Date??? or has that gone by the wayside Charlene - Hugs is will all be done in a couple of weeks the house selling they have a trustee - so I won't have to deal w/this crap much longer Julie - Glad you are home - Hugs on the pain - Get some rest I bet you are pooped and that doesn't help - I agree w/you on Apples - she's a brave lady for getting that dental work done.. Well yesterday got my hair cut - love my new hair dresser - did a little shopping - had $25 Macy Rewards and 20% coupons got a pair of shoes - skirt - 2 blouse.. Then went to AAA to get prices on Vacation this Nov - it looks like the vote is for this place Hotel in Riviera Maya - Playa del Carmen Hotel - Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe Hotel - Barcelo.com Have gym at 8 this morning - legs/weights - then to AAA to book this trip.. Sure hope it's a good place it has 5 stars. I did get a quote on Oasis of the Sea - I would like to do that - but I think an all inclusive w/the family will be just as good - we can do our own thing..

Good Morning Gang Up early as usual - angel got me up at 4:30 but we went back to bed - but then Ryder got in the trash it was 5 - hadn't gone back to sleep - so wth just got up.. Gym at 8 anyway.. Karla - Hugs - Yes you need some gf - I guess I'm lucky for never have moved - I grew up here and have my friends - some since grade school - some since high school - some from my work. Ya the pee would piss me off - well once your backyard is fenced you can put the dogs outside.. I am pretty lucky mine are house broken - Angel 99.9% Phyl how are you doing today?? Hugs - I sure hope Earl leaves you alone you got enough on your mind w/o him bugging you.. Candice -I wish I could give you the magic answer so that you didn't turn to food when you are lonely or upset.. Maybe that bood women food god may help you.. I don't know - I feel helpless -and I hate that feeling.. Well agenda today - Legs/Weight @ 8 - then AAA to book vacation.. Maybe ck out bro's house to see what nephew left - and if they picked up the trash I can dump some more stuff - I think thats about it - suppose to be 107 today.. Maybe i'll get in the pool

No boyfriend - I like your DH he seems like a very great guy - if he was a butthead - I'd say go for it - but Peter isn't :0) lol Here's the link to the resort... Bhttp://www.barcelo.com/BarceloHotels/en-GB/Hotels/Mexico/MayanRiviera/MayaPalace/Home 11/27 to 12/4 - I am going to miss a class reunion that's being held that weekend.. I would really love to go.. But it is what it is..

Phyl You better tell Earl to LYTFA - all that's going to do is make you eat more just to spite him - omg - doesn't he know this - I know that's the way I am - tell me not to eat - I am going to eat more.. Hugs Hugs Hugs You need to stand up to him and eat what you want - not what he wants you to eat..

Good evening gang... Candice - when you disappeared for a minute and really weren't posting your food - I figures things had gone south again.. Girl you gotta find things to do when he's gone - don't you enjoy time to yourself - well ya - you eat ... You really are a closet eater arent you lol... Karla - love the pics of your Dad - sweetie - he's with you in your heart - you can talk to him anytime - ya he can't answer - but I bet you $100 that you know how he would respond to your question.. Time does soften the hurt - but it will always be with you - even 15 yrs from now you will have your days where you miss the hell out of him - but it won't be all the time.. Well got my hair cut - love it bouncy and more stylish - same basic angled bob - not as short as last summer.. Then went and spent my Macy $25 rewards - got a long skirt - 2 blouses - a pair of white shoes. Then went to the AAA travel agent - got prices for all inclusive and cruise on the Oasis of the Sea - Royal Caribeean newest ship - hold 5400 pple - I think the vote from the family will be the all inclusive Bacelo Maya Playa Deluxe Resort in Mayan Riveria - Playa de Carmen.. Food today - sf/ff frozen yogurt 160 cal - 1 cabot cheese Hugs Phyl - you have had one shitty week - the unfill WILL reslove things - think postitive and know we are praying for you and if you want - go buy a plane ticket and come and visit me..

Good Morning Gang... Karla - I never get to sleep in that late - the dogs always wake me up to go potty.. I slept till 6 this morning ;0) - I use to be a night owl when I was younger - most nights didn't go to bed til 1 a.m. - but now bed early and up early - I sorta like it - especially in the summer when it's hot - I try to get my stuff done early so I am home before the heat of the day.. I don't like the heat - i would love it to be 80-100 max - and cool every nite to the 60's (low) not be 100 at midnite.. By the end of the summer can't wait for cooler weather and lower electric bills - but this is where I was born - I would love to live at the beach - if I won the lotto that's where I would live - but so cali beaches - wouldn't live in the mountain - I enjoy visiting them - but love the ocean So I take it my instructions for pic's worked :0) ... Beautifuly DDs :Dancing_biggrin: Phyl I see you are on line - you aren't at the gym lol - I know you have dr this morning - you better let us know what he says - but I now think it was your brocituss (sp) - That's dr. janet opinion ;0) Need to get dress for the gym - cbl

Cheri - At least you got something - but I hear you on losing the darn thing lol - Ya a gift card would have been better.. Fad diets - but the premise I think is ok - it's just varying your calories - I know that on Jenny Craigs one day I would have tons of food then next not so much - so I agree with the premise - but not a week at a time - just like if I work out for 3 straight weeks the scales don't move - then the week I don't exercise it does - who know - just glad when it moves again.. Julie went somewhere I forgot where - somewhere sorta close to Apples - they may meet up - I think she should be home this weekend.. OMG that neighbor sound like one who you DON'T want to be freinds with - Joyce - I gotta say - I didn't shop at all over the memorial weekend - I was so proud of me ;0) - but hell I don't need a darn thing ;0) But got $25 macy credit and 20% off coupons - so lets see - what should I go buy - plus my new hair place is on El Paseo (rodeo drive of the desert) may ck out Chico's & Loft while there ;0)

Phyl - you did very well on your food today... I am pretty sure Karri will take me to the airport on Monday.. Food for me - bf - greek yogurt 140 cal (pomagranite) it was good - lunch - pinto beans 1.5 cup - handful of chips - so far tonite 3/4 cup buttter nut squash - will have some meat in a little bit.. It's weird when you don't have to go to work - it's 8:30 i would be getting off the computer - by now - but since I don't have to go to work - I don't have to rush to bed ;0) Plan on getting up and going to gym before hair appt in the morning - gotta leave here by 9 - then after that going to Auto Club to plan Family vacation.. and that's about it for the day...

Upload File from your Computer Upload File from a URL After you are done close window - type something in the reply box and hit submit - I just renewed my agents license too - good for 4 yrs ;0) Phyl I think Candice is coming in a day earlier than me or even a couple days and she's staying w/you ;o) - don't really remember - and I think Linda isn't getting in till 7/1 like 8:30 at night.. I was suppose to leave 7/5 like at 10 a.m - but got a notice awhile back that my flight got changed to 12 p.m - I guess I should go look Karri has boot camp that she wants to do that morning before she leaves to come to WA - but she won't get there till like 1ish -

Hey Gang Charlene - you may need to bump up the calories 1 day then go back to plan - to help the scales - Glad you are feeling better.. Our summer has started - they are admitting to 110 this weekend - so that means more like 115.. The heat is on... We have had a mild April & May - have been 20 degrees below average most days.. 100 today which is fine - really for me 105 isn't bad - but 110 is hot.. Judy Congrats on getting the part !!!!! Yep I agree you gotta up your calories every now and then ;0) Eva - Sounds good - June's out as tomorrow is my furlough friday - taking 2 days off next week as the kids are coming - we are going to the beach (That sounds good for August) - July I go to to my Lucky#7 get together 7/1 to 7/5 - So it will have to be late July or August - Sept is out cuz my co-worker is gone the whole month.. Jodi - Yep death & money - greed - causes major problems - I didn't even know that as adminstrator I would get paid - I just felt it was my duty to take care of bro's stuff plus we own land together - sis has no involvement in this (we have diff Dads - same mom) and she live 400 miles away - so once I found out that we got $$ I knew why she wanted to be - GREED.. So she can take her $$$ and live w/herself - I have a clear concise - Yep Dassi is going to have some GREAT memories... Oh to be a kid again ;0) Emotional support means everything... Great - I hope you find your box - and if you don't hell you will get to go ck out all the new stores in your area and shop- we know how much you hate to shop lol... But really I hope they show up - that would piss me off.. Hugs on the emotional stuff.. Apples where are you today - off the the lake already Joyce - I love it when I have the house to myself - no phone ringing for andrew 24/7 ... I'm like Charlene on FB - I mostly just farm - may comment everynow and then.. Well tomorrow going to a new hair dresser - wish me luck.. Looks like escrow won't close til next week - so will swing by the house and see what's left.. I heard through the grapevine that nephew did get some stuff out..

Just had a short email from Karri - she might not be able to pick me up from airport - I arrive 11:15 a.m on 7/1 - Remember 7/1 is her bday too - so we should have a cake or a fake one made of lettuce - she's doing boot camp... Maybe a protein bar cake lol So I may need someone to pick me up... Oh 4 weeks from today - we will all be at the Beach House having cocktails !!!!

Karla - I just ck'd and yep that side does have one of those breakers - i just pushed it - it works !!!! (I know where the phone plugs in has one of those breaker but never noticed the other one ;0) Hooray the kids spent alot of $$$ on that stupid coffee machine that I don't really like.. Coffee isn't strong enough.. Well tomorrow is my Furlough Friday ;0) and then next week off the 10th & 11th - going to the beach on Thrusday- suppose to hit 110 here this weekend and they are admitting to 110 - I bet it's going to be 115 - and that's hot.. I haven't been to the beach in about 7yrs - last time (not counting cruise) was June or July 03 - The whole family is going.. It will be an experience - we will need to take 2 cars cuz there will be 6 of us and my car only holds 5 Phyl - LOL ha ha ha - you are going to have to go work out more - love it - I knew Earl would like it - he and I chatted one morning (sat I think) and he said he was going to have to go cuz you guys had so much rain - that he couldn't walk outside.. It will be good for you :0) I am sure glad you are feeling better... Hell I would cancel my appointment ;0) Well had to work 1/2 extra today to get last minute stuff done since I won't be there tomorrow - Hoping escrow close - just ck'd email - won't be closing till tue- wed next week - I see Jackie on FB but haven't talked to her.. Haven't seen Steph on FB much though or Karri

MLW - Welcome - Weigh only once a week - yes it could be tom - don't worry - just keep following your doc orders.. Laura - Exercise doesn't have to be the gym - what you did today was exercise WTG - Hugs on Dad - maybe he will feel better after the chemo gets out of his system.. Charlene - How much have you lost since you been on this shake thing and how long has it been- you may just be hitting a plateau ... Did you have any extra's this past weekend - just keep doing what you are doing and it will come off.. Congrats on FV 70!!! Just get a new email address - sign up on fb w/that email address and start a new farm - I have GS email - but I just haven't had time to farm 2 farms - I use to when I 1st did farm town but alas my work load has changed and I don't have a private office anymore.. Ya you can't quit cuz you always ferterlize my crops :0) Phyl - lol Retired and still not enough time :0) Great Pre Happy Anniversary !!! On the gall bladder issue - my doc said that nuns usually don't get them - that's about not having kids - and the 3 F too.. It could be a hiatel herina too the symptom mimic a heart attack - my gall bladder hurt more in my back than my stomach - Keep us posted - Prayer.. Hugs on the move issues !!! I would imagine that would be very hard - I have never left the desert - Kid's did move - and I miss them but still have Andrew - and I love not having the responsibility of having to pick up the girls after school and stuff when they were at work Well girls I gotta go color my hair - been to the gym and fed the dogs - Andrew's at work - will be back once I get my color on ;0)-

Good Evening Peeps... Phyl - Continued prayers for Steven - Hope this scares him enough to take his pills... I think you have told us about your nieces bf - already a convict - dog abuse and this isn't the 1st time he hit her .. Hope she's doing well - in city jail - it's totally diff than being in prison - they have access to phone - and ya why wouldn't he call her - he's hit her before and she took him back - he thinks this time will be the same.. Or he may threaten her to drop charges - but now a days that doesn't fly Karla How cool your 1st vacation - well this is our 3rd Band Anniversary get together - so plan on every yr attending.. This will be Karri's 1st too ;0) - She's met Steph & Me but not the others - Steph couldn't make last yrs get together - Yes it's nice to get away.. Andrew will be watching my fur babies and I think he's babysitting his mom's dog too - so glad I won't be here ;0) I have my gf debbie lined up for november vacation - but hope to find a real dog/house sitter instead... I called the one who can't do it to see if she recommends some.. Well back from the gym - got dogs fed - kitchen cleaned up from last night ;0) - I think I blew something up - I was cooking my squash in the mircowave 30 mns - it beeped that it was done - then went to get it out - it had no power - well it came back on (guess it cooled down) but now my new coffee maker doesn't work - I need to doubt ck the breakers - but I think the are fine - something might have shorted out..

Good Morning Gang Drive by - it's already 5:45 and I need to get in the shower Hugs Denise - We are all watching the news - I guess this is why pple don't want off shore drilling - this is a major disaster..
