Hi Heather :biggrin: Glad you are on the mend. Like Suzie just said...we have been worried! Take care of yourself!!

Thanks Jane & Pammie :biggrin:

Thank you! I go to the gym at LEAST 4 times a week. Favorite thing is treadmill & leg presses...least favorites are eliptical (cause it hurts) and crunches (cause they suck, lol). I mainly just do my 2 favs. I walk anywhere between 2.25-3.5 miles on the treadmill. Take about 40 minutes to an hour. As I go longer & lose more I will do more strength training. I am glad you & Hannah are gonna pair up and go to the gym. That'll be fun . The heat & humidity...ugh, I hear ya sista...it SUCKS. I will be right there with ya complaining. Thank God for a/c gyms!

I made my -5 for June GO ME! Good morning violets! Happy Saturday :tongue: Michelle-hope you are feeling better! Seeing the scale go down sure makes my blister on my foot not hurt as much Not really gonna do much today. Plan on going to the gym and hanging out with macy. DH is working nights so he is gonna sleep then leave, SO....that is that. Well, I hear dd getting up so I am gonna get off here. I will holla at ya'll later. Respect the pouch!

Suzie...you passed :tongue:

WAY TO GO PAMELA!!! You DO rock!! One day I will try that machine. I just got back from the gym and did 3.5 miles on the treadmill....and the sweat machines were working OT!! Terry-glad that things went so well. I am so happy for you! Jane-we did have a class reunion scheduled that weekend, but they changed it to the first weekend in August for some reason. Who knows....

by the way...guess what...my blisters are HEALING!! :sad:

Good morning ladies~This is prob gonna be a long post so lets see who really reads it...you will be tested at the conclusion, lol Wow, it is Friday and seems like Tues or Wed.?! I guess that is what happens in the summertime when there is no school...lose all track of time. Pamela-weren't you out of the country last year when BB came on? You are a traveling fool! lol Glad you had a good time with your friend yesterday. Judy-have a fantastic time this weekend. Happy Anniversary :sad: Laura-best of luck with the pouch test! I agree that being able to eat one of those burgers is NOT good! I only have 1.5 and I could have never done it! Hope the pouch test gives you your restriction back. I think that plus the fill should do the trick! :wink2: Michelle-I am so glad about your friend coming through her divorce and being OK. When you originally told the story it broke my heart for her. I am so glad she is better for it. Terry-where are you? Aren't you supposed to be back by now? Suzie-hope ou get the pool time in that you want! Heather????? (i hope the baby is OK) Kat-I have never been to the grand Canyon. Have fun and think of us! Jenn-how are you? How is Kev? I know Haydee is having a BALL!!! :tt1: Jane-whats up sista? I like how you said yesterday that you wanted to lose weight before the trip but you didnt but you are still Jane. Well, that is the Jane I know and love. Love the way you said that! :wub: Wish I were gonna be there. Lunasa-I pray that this fill is just what you need to get your heart & mind back into the 'game'. To the violets going on the Alabama trip. Oh, I wish I was gonna be there. Kiss Carson for ME! I am going that weekend to see a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a couple of years. She and her husband live in LA (of course, where else, lol) and dh will not be going and macy will be at moms so at least I will have a couple of me days. She has a pool and we will lounge there and have a couple of cocktails and talk about old times. She was my running buddy back in the good old days...i am really excited. It wont be Alabama but it will be fun. At least I will not be sitting at home remembering you all are having fun without me. :tt2: For some reason this morning I have thought about a cigarette TWICE so far. Whats that about? I guess that will always be in the back of my head. I can think, just not act. I have a half more pound to lose for my -5 for June. I think I am gonna make it! Dare I say maybe more? I will try try try. Have a great day everyone. Respect the pouch! RESPECT IT!

Laura-listening to you post about rice cereal and poking holes in the nipples to make them bigger brought back so many memories...holes too small, holes too big, ruining nipples...good times! :thumbup:

Good morning again :wink: I woke early this morning (2AM) with belly cramps and poopin' like you would not believe (tmi i know). I think it is the meds that the dr has me on for my blisters that is jacking up my stomach. Jenn-you ok? Judy-i agree with you about that inner fat voice...i call her my inner fat girl. I think addiction to food is as bad as any other addiction. One day at a time, ya know? Michelle-long ago you told us about your friend whos husband up & left her. Is that who you are seeing today? How is your friend? Pamela-have fun @ lunch with your friend today :sneaky: Kat-have a fantastic time at the Grand Canyon. Ooops...gotta run....

3:30 AM...just checking to make sure you are all safe :wink:

Hi Lunasa~ You can self sabatoge/eat around the band no matter what your fill is. It is all really up to you as to what YOU think. I quit smoking last year, got a slight unfill because my thinking at the time was if I cant smoke, I will eat. I had gained almost 50 pounds back and am now losing it again. I decided to NOT get a fill right now. I know I need to get my head issues fixed first. If a fill fixed my brain I would be there in an instant! Take care and come back and let us know how you are.

:wink2:Way to go!! Those things kill me! I see these little skinny so and so's get on there for like ever...and keep going and going and going and I just wanna go smack the sh*t out of them! lol WAY TO GO!!

That stuff is no joke! lol Its in your local grocers' freezer next to the regular cool whip. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!:wink2:

Judy-yes I am taking them. Yes they are a big help. They have diuretic in them so that's a plus. What they mainly do for me is make food not so appealing. Like, everything looks & sounds and even sometimes taste black and white...dull. When trying to decide what to eat I am just like, ugh, nothing sounds good. Let me put it this way...I have a small tub of chocolate cool whip that has been in my fridge for over a week. That would have NEVER happened before. It would have been gone in the first or 2nd day. It is helping me get back to the 'eat to live' instaed of 'live to eat' mode.

Good morning~kinda blah over here. I guess just knowing that the fun & games is over...at least for a while anyway. I am also disgusted that my blisters aren't healed up by now. I have been dealing with them for about 6-8 weeks now and it is getting really old, really quick. I did pretty good over the past few days with my eating. I did not gain, so that is a plus! I am gonna finish up my coffee and hit the gym. Maybe that will be what gets me out of my royal BLAHness... Laura-I would mention the free ones too. Prob just an honest mistake. Have a great day! Respect the pouch! Pamela & Jane-thanks for the texts while I was gone! Made me feel special :wink2:

Hi ladies~I'm back! I went directly to the dr because my rash is still blooming under my nose. They gave me more cream & pills. We'll see what happens. Haydee-congrats!!! I will talk to you all in the morning...

Laura the pics are wonderful but my fav is the first one! Absolutely beautiful! Maybe framing material? If carsons room is Noahs ark he should have a rainbow in there? Violets-I am all packed and ready to go but I wanted to stop in and say bye and I hope you all have a great couple of days! See ya'll Tuesday Respect the pouch! :tongue_smilie:

Laura-that a new pic on your violet thingy? I like it (and carsons of course)
