TracyK

Tracy that is really a good pic!! I do not watch the news near as much as I used to when I was working. I used to watch it every morning while I was getting ready for work. Now when I hear things it is actually 'news to me'. LOL

Kat-I WANT THAT SHIRT!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!

Judy, what exactly are you trying to say? :tt2::thumbup:

Laura-I love Altimas! Hey is it just me or is it unusually quiet so far this morning in here?

Better stuck on 206 than gaining! How is THAT for an optimistic view?! :tongue2: The good news is that yesterday I got TOM and this morning I was still at 206. So, with the bloating and water retention, I am holding 206....that is actually pretty fantastic. Maybe that means when aunt flow is gone I will lose some weight finally?:tt1: Just the thought makes me giddy inside. I hate plateaus. I did not think I would hit one again SO SOON. I thought I would hit one at like 193. Oh well, I will just hold my head up and GO GO GO!! DH is off work for the next couple of days and if I can just stay away from the evil things while he is off I will have it made. I have been thinking alot about thanksgiving...and I am not taking the day off of my "eating right". One day can really blow it for me and I am just not willing to do that right now being so close to onederland again. The thought of going up 3 or 4 pounds just because it is Thanksgiving is just stupid to me. SO not worth it.:cool:

GO JUDY!!!! :thumbup:

TracyinKS - I SO wish you would have called me. I thought about calling you a million times yesterday sista, I really did. So you ate PB cookies, got tipsy and watched the biggest loser? LMFAO! I know it isn't funny but hopefully this morning you can look back and see the humor in it. We have to laugh at ourselves sometimes otherwise we would just cry, right?!((((hugs)))) Call anytime. Good morning violets-I think we have a little more rain scheduled for today but it will be clearing up. YEAH! Still at 206 this morning. Story of my life but like I said, I am not gaining! I would have gained 20 more pounds by now if I had not reigned myself back in . I wish there was a pat myself on the back icon.:thumbup: I will come back later and do personals....gotta get macy ready for school. bbl (make healthy choices everyone)

have a great night violets! SWEET DREAMS.......

ahhhh, the good ole days....

Welcome home Kat...we missed you! Sunshine-I found out the hard way that if the right combo of alcohol is consumed, puking can occur easily even with a band :laugh: Just ask my fellow violets :thumbup: Not really my proudest moment! lol

TracyinKS-I felt that way once too. You know why I felt like I was getting fat again...because I was. Now I am 206 again wishing someone would have protected me from myself. You however, can still get it under control before you are right back here @ 206 with me. This is something I DO NOT want your company in, OK?

:laugh: Hi Denise & Panda :thumbup:

Laura-I had an amnio test done but only because of my age. Looking back it would not have mattered to me what they found because she was my special gift from God. If I became pregnant now, I would not have those tests done. TracyinKS-I wish there were an icon that I could put on here like the 'you should have had a V8' commercials...so this will have to do :fish: Judy-I am having a PMS luncheon today too. Mine is just different kind than yours. :laugh: Michelle-I'll bet you did not know what to do with yourself over the weekend!! Jane-I just e-mailed you :thumbup: Haydee-whats up sista? Loving the weather? :w00t: Jenn-where the devil are ya? How are you? Suzie-wow, you are being runned ragged! Take care of yourself, k? Kat-we miss you and you need to come home now...:crying: Pamela-have the demonstrations continued there? ((((hugs)))) everyone

Good morning all- I am not really going to journal it. I will write things down and send my diet buddy a note telling her what I am doing but I am not going to actually keep it all. I am a more of a 'one day at a time' girl that would never re-read what I ate last week much less last year. If I had lots of variety in what I ate it would be different, but I am kinda boring. Rain again here today. Have a great day Violets. By the way Pamela-"make good choices" does not translate to "make tasty choices"..LMAO so I will start rewording my ending sentence here to ..."make healthy choices violets!"

Laura-you are so tall that your baby has alot of playground. Don't fret little mama, you will feel HER moving soon :eek:

Macy would rolllll too. And when I say roll...I mean ROLLLL. My whole stomach looked like an alien was about to burst out of there. The bigger she got, the more miserable I was when she would ROLLLLL. lol I miss that alot!! :eek: Frank would watch and be like OMIGOD!!!!!

Like I said :eek: LMAO!!

How you folks eat cottage cheese is beyond me!! Why not have a side of liver with it? :thumbup:

Break from what? Your friends? Really? What is the real problem? Personal? Someone in here piss ya' off? Don't just leave us hangin' woman!:thumbup: Inquiry minds wanna know!:eek:

I didn't know until just now that I am a flying monkey! LOL

Quick question for ya then...with all due respect: So if it was "all band and no dieting" where is the need for maintaining? There is nothing wrong with admitting you had/have to watch what you eat. You said yourself that you watch it for a day or so...and why is that? Because you will gain back some weight, that is why. So, just admit that you DO have to work with the band and not that is is just a MIRACLE!

Hmmm, who do you want to be giddy...him or you? :thumbup: (sorry, just food for thought) STAY STRONG SISTAH!

Good morning everyone! Just got macy to school and am on my 2nd (and final) cup of coffee for the morning. Snow...wowee. It snowed on Christmas Eve a few years ago. First and probably last time I will ever have a white christmas unless we move :thumbup: It gave a whole new meaning to the song "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas". It was such an event that we videotaped it snowing. Just set the video cam up next to the window and recorded the whole thing. I remember I was wrapping presents when it started snowing and I jumped up (about midnight mind you) and started throwing clothes on and dh says "where are you going?". Are you kidding me? "Outside to play in the snow, that's where". He acted like he thought I was crazy but he still came with me :eek: Good times. So many people took pictures in the area that all of the 1 hour photo places were not able to promise pics back for up to a week!! lol Well, 10 days into November and I am still at 206. I will be lucky to lose 4 this month considering I have not even lost one yet. I had heard that smoking raises your metabolism...now I am starting to believe it! But I am going to keep on keepin' on. At least I am not gaining. Have a fantastic day violets. Make good choices!

OMG Michelle are you serious?! That is like my idea of HEAVEN
