Good Morning Gang…. Phyl – Hugs – maybe it’s time for Kurtis to learn that he can’t have it his way – Tough love is hard but it’s needed sometimes… Hugs on your Mom – hope that it’s nothing too bad – My Sis should get out today – I will call later it’s to early now.. WTG on 196 !!!!! You need to slow down a bit and get well - Hugs Candice – I am glad you are reading Beck – like Karri say’s it’s in your face and it counters all the excuses you make as to why you can’t do stuff. Karla – Hugs on the house falling thru – that’s means it wasn’t meant to be – but something will come along… Denise - Keep us posted ok - What are you giving up for lent :0) Ok this has to be drive by – I gotta get to work – Joseph & family here yesterday – tonite going to have Melissa’s Mom Stepdad – bro his wife – and their 2 kids – PLEASE PLEASE Pray for me - I can’t wait for some recharging time…

Hey Gang – Going by memory on this Laura WTG girl !!! It’s the staying busy and being out of the house with all those little things we pop in our mouth and don’t even think of – it makes a big difference !!! Andrew said he cancelled one recording on Thursday – I said I hoped it wasn’t survivor – it wasn’t he cancelled Grey’s Anatomy – but I only got to the 1st competion last night and went to bed.. I would love to be on the show too – but I don’t know if I could live through those weather conditions :0) Hope Nelson is feeling better this afternoon – Omg you know how to get things done don’t you (car issue ;0) Love your signature pic ;0) Karen – Thanks !!! I talked to her yesterday she was starving so called DS and told him to go visit and take her 2 KFC Chicken legs – the kids said she scarfed them down - I talked to her today – she sounded better – hopefully will go home tomorrow.. Jessica – Hugs on being sick – glad to hear DH boss getting band – I know a girl I use to work with got bypass after she saw me losing the weight – it’s nice that we encourage pple to get healthy – no matter what method.. Phyl – Hugs Linda – WTG ON YOUR BREAKING YOUR PLATEAU GF yes I have had a lot of company – Sis & family weekend before last – Florida last weekend and now DS & family will be here til Friday… The biggest problem is that I have only 1 extra room and that means someone sleeps on the couch & air mattrest in the living room and I am up at 5 – I try to be quite – but it messes with my rountine.. In fact tonite – Is AI – Olymipic and Lost – I can’t record all 3 only two and have to watch one of the 2 so I canceled Olympics and will record the one that comes on at 2 a.m. which is the repeat of what shows at 8 - OMG Being a t.v. person can be hard sometimes :0) 2 packs a day – I am about just a little less than a pack of day.. I will quit one of these days Julie – Don’t know if I am back in the swing – but I am here :0) – I bet you are ready for spring and how nice to have a place to sit and watch Mimi Yes – I think it would be good to give it up (white bread/crackers etc) my gf gives up cookies and she always loses weight during lent.. I think it would be a good jump start :0) I’m like Karen’s DS – I use to give up homework for lent !!!!! Our family didn’t do that kind of stuff – so I have never given anything up. Judy have fun tonite – I got unpacked and washed yesterday – but I still have clothes to put away Well gang – don’t know if I will have a chance to get back on tonite – I will try – Hugs to all

WTG CANDICE - THROW THE CRAP OUT - BETTER IN THEE (trash) THAN IN ME.. I don't really allow to many treats at home - do eat them when I am away - but not at home - you have to have a safe haven - home is that place for me - I don't have food that i crave - and that's all it is is craving – craving food or being hungry isn’t an emergency – as you will find out from Beck – sit down make a menu – write out your food plan then stick to it.. Candice you aren't suppose to be able to eat 1.5 cups of hard protein at a meal 4 To 5 oz – weighted on a scale is what you are suppose to eat per meal of hard protein.. That’s a usually a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards then maybe ¼ to ½ cup of veggies – that should be a meal – 1 cup oatmeal should fill you up (thick not You just want to eat more food - I am down to about 1 cup per meal - which is good - no room for my rice (75%) of the time.. Make your homes a junk free zone – and get rid of the stuff that can make healthy foods fattening if you can’t say no to it – that’s peanut butter for me – do you know how much I have thrown away.. Also – don’t tell your self you can’t throw it away – you can – you say you don’t want to waste it – well would you rather gain 5 lbs – throw the stuff away – your friends don’t need it either – no one needs junk food.. You gotta look at food as the devil - - I hate it – but in throwing the crap away you do gain some control imho – I love throwing stuff away – it make me feel powerfull and maybe next time I won’t be so tempted to buy it cuz I will just have to throw it away..I am the winner not the food when I throw it away You don’t need junk food to live – in fact it has no nutritional value what so ever – so you don’t need it in the house and you don’t need to go looking for it … This isn’t a diet – and I think you still think it is – you can NEVER EVER EAT JUNK FOOD LIKE YOU USE TO… Never – so just say good bye to the damn stuff – If you want junk – pick one Saturday or Sunday – go buy a small ice cone – a small can bar – 2 small cookies from the bakery and have your treat – and be done with it – YOU CAN NEVER EVER AGAIN SIT AND EAT A BATCH OF FUDGE – A BAG OF COOKES – ½ CAKE – DRINK BLIZZARDS EVERYDAY – YOU ARE A FREAKING ADDICT – JUST GET THAT THRU YOUR HEAD – QUIT TRYING TO CONTROL IT – CUZ YOU CAN’T – JUST LET IT GO… Phyl glad you are feeling better – Hugs on Curtis – When will he be 18 - Hugs I can just imagine how hard this is for you… Hugs & Prayrers Karla – WTC on getting those 4 lbs off – like you said you know what you did – you just have to be mindful – this is a learning experience – Hell I am still learning myself..

Good Morning Gang Karla - let it go for your sake - not theirs - and it's ok not to like your mom - nothing wrong with that.. You need to take care of you and not her... That's all I was saying - just let go of the anger - its hurts you and not her - You don't have to deal with her if you don't want to and if I were you I wouldn't Karri - Good for you - today is a new day.. You can do this.. Well sorry for the fly by but gotta hit the showers

Charlene - the weight will come of you have lost already - you just gotta get to the place where you deserve to be healthy - it will come - I haven't read my beck in a while - but I do love the part about giving yourself credit - just ask Julie - I repeated that phrase to her this weekend..

Hugs cuz no matter what he's still your daddy and it's hard.. Why would you never go outside cuz of the fence - omw girl - throw up some lattic and plants - a wood fence is going to cost alot - well maybe you will have enough left over... You need to look some more - what happen to those other houses..

Eva & i are back on she got us a flight - 9 hr lay over in dfw - but we are going to florida !!! I gotta go pack... Xoxoxo j

Well - I am going to Fl tomorrow - Eva who lives in AZ got us a flight out of Dallas at 9 tomorrow nite - So I gotta go and pack Say a prayer for me tomorrow.. I got a 9 hr layover in DFW but I am going to FL

Denise - I rooted for the Saints - Just because of you !!! I'm a Cowboy fan - so it didn't matter to me and I really don't watch football - just the superbowl I was rooting for the Saint and was worried the 1st half - Hated the halftime show - it sucked big time.. Yep - have the doc take your fill out - give it a week or 2 then start over.. I gotta tell you - the problem is mostly in our heads yes the band helps - but it doesn't stop you from wanting food. And I find I am the most frustrated when I can't eat what I want to eat or event the amount that I want to eat - which is small - this last fill has me at a super sweet spot - and I find it very frustrating that I can't eat more food cuz I am still mentally hungry - not physically but mentally... Karla - GF to gain 6 lbs we know you weren't being honest - but that's ok - we all go thru it.. You are in a very stressfull place right now with the house and all - and now your Dad has taken a turn for the worse.. Take one day at a time -and get the food out of the house.. Do your very best to make good food choices and go from there.. Well gang looks like I'm NOT going to Florida tomorrow - my flight out of Dallas has been cancelled - Snow.... I am so bummed out - but gotta think that there is a reason - either the plane was going to crash or I need to be around for Andrew this weekend... I haven't told you all but his cousin was shot and killed last Friday in a drive by - Andrew doesn't associate w/his mom's family much and isn't in any kind of gang - but his cousin was 19 and I knew him as a baby and I know his Mom - I am so very very sad that she lost her child and I don't care if he was in a gang or not - the lost of life is what matter - how does a women survive losing a child..

You need to call your doc - you are too tight or could have a problem - Call your Doc - right away..

Well It looks like I am not coming to Florida American doesn't have any other flights on Friday they are all booked - could get one out of Los Angeles on Friday - but wouldn't get to FL til Sat morning - and turn around and leave Sunday - and all the other airlines prices on short notice are $1200+ Hate to tell you this but Eva was suppose to be on the same flight as me - So I don't know if she's going to make it or not .. I am so upset right now...

Am not setting up a separate thread for trip info - if pple don't want to wade threw our trip discussions - so be it - This is trip is a big part of us - If someone doesn't want to read about it - but wants help they can skip the travel discussion and ask for help. Look at Joyce who's going to be banded 2/22 - she sure wanted to join us - hell her 1st post was I wanta come too- look at all the other newbies too .... Hell they can see that this is a great thread - they can see that we support each other and have become great friends - Cheri you haven't been here that long but when I lost my Bro in 10/08 - These ladies were here for me - I had more support from my I'm here to help sisters than I did for my own family Yes we are social - heck look at your post - it's not all band related - seeing sunrises and rainbows - what that got to do with the price to tea in china (our bands) So if pple don't like our social network - then they don't have to join the thread - but that being said - they are going to miss out on a lot of good info from experienced banders and losing the chance to make great friendships...

Weather in dallas - snow !!!! Wtf !!!! What do i do now...

My flight has been cancelled !!!

Joyce - Here's your official invitation for next years get together.... We are all really excited about meeting each other !!! Congrats on your date !!! We are a great group and we are all here for you.. Well I gotta jam - gym tonite - cbl - hugs !!!
