CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN1,098,179,24,51 totals for today....:w00t:

HUGS to you gal! Keep your chin up.

Good Morning 7"s And it IS a good morning!! Scale was very good to me I was down 3.4 lbs. I am so happy! Another NSV for me, yesterday I went to visit my Mom and I did NOT have any Cookies at tea time. That is always my downfall... when I go into visit my Mom I always want to eat junk. It's emotional, totally... Part of it is thinking about the future when my Mom will not be around, part of it is feeling sad because of how frail she is and I am powerless to do anything about that.. Old age sucks large. Lots of emotions... of not being able to let go. I can't control everything, (like I'd like to) and this upsets me and I want to eat comfort food (cookies). But yesterday, I didnt' and that's a good thing.. I just kept sipping away on my artificially sweetened coffee. On the way home in the car I ate my planned snack - an All bran bar for fibre. Dinner was a chicken leg, but I couldn't eat all of it. and a couple baby carrots. This restriction is good! Janet and Phyl, you both did amazing being at the Fair and not eating that "food"... reading your posts I could actually "Smell" the fair..... weird eh? Just shows you how ingrained our food addiction is..argh! Off to work in a while, I'll cbl Love C

You are too funny Phyl! Actually, I dont' know how to turn it (dah)... so sorry about your head...:tongue: I don't think its that great of a photo I just wanted everyone to see mein my new Size 14 pants that I bought for $7 You gotta shop with Janet to get the deals!!! Food good again today, 863 Cals... I am wanting something right now, but as it is close to bed time... I dont' want to chance it... I hate that slimming feeling you get in the middle of the night when you are tight. Sleep well :hurray::hurray:

O.k. I got a picture taken today... Janet, you'll recognise the outfit..we bought it in Vegas remember??? I hope this shot has my hubby with his eyes open!

All 3 are fantasic N.S.V.'s !!!! I am so sorry you caught the bug... My DH came home from his trip to Quebec City with the same bug.... guess its everywhere... Now, where is my Lysol?????

You look beautiful.... isn't it great to start this pregnancy from a normal weight? I am so excited for you:tt1:

5 miles on the treadmill? That's awesome, you have done your penance for the oreos now kiddo.... LOL so lighten up:tt2: I love your picture comparison... wow, you would not know it was the same girl....!!!! I am so proud of you:lol: Today's food (so far) CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN638,63,27,36 I will probably have a 100 cal snack this evening... but I'm pretty tight. I drove to T.O. for a fill this morning... She put in .125 cc into my band which should have put me at 7.4 cc's total... but then my water was gurgling, so she did a tiny unfill .06 out... I can't even trust myself to do the math anymore... I think she was unsure too.... The important thing is I have some more restriction... YEAH!!! Cals were easy to keep down today.

Hey Chim, nice to hear from you!!! And what fabulous news:thumbup: Awesome, so when are you due? Oct/Nov????

Yesterday food. CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN1,048-154-22-62- Today: CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN923,88,37,58 Food so far for today. I may have a 100 cal snack later. Going for a tiny fill tomorrow.

So you're off to the Sunny south again, oh what a nice break for you though to spend some quality family time...:tt2: We should all be grateful for our bands and what we have been able to accomplish with them. Even though we struggle(especially this month) the long term gain of better health has been given to us all. Really Thank God for that!!! I myself am truly grateful that I am affluent enough to have been able to purchase my band. Most folks could not afford the $18k especially now with the economic downturn. When I keep the BAND in perspective, I have to use it to its full potential and stop screwing around with my food.

Dear Phyl; I am so sorry to hear about your GF's passing. HUGS to you and your other friends who must be missing her now. You are doing so well with your weight loss, when I read how much you eat, I vow to do better... I know I eat about 2 cups at a meal. cals might be o.k. but volume is too much. I am going for a tiny fill on Sat in Toronto. I hope the weather will cooperate and the drive will be o.k. I've been having food thoughts all morning. Don;t know why? As this is a very exciting day here in Canada. Pres Obama is in Ottawa to meet our Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Everyone is very excited, huge crowds have gathered on Parliament Hill just to catch aglimpse of Obama... We are encouraged that they will be able to hammer out an agreement on Environmental Issues and Economic issues too. A lot to hope for in just one day visit, but the opptimism abounds.!!! I am staying glued to the TV all day so I don't miss anything. Breakfast, Special K Satisfaction Cereal for Breaky, Lunch, Luna Protien Bar... so far, so good.. CBL babes C

Karri I love that picture!~~~ You look like a really FUN person to be around... So glad you are part of OUR team!!! You look fantastic!!!

CALORIES,CARBS,FAT,PROTEIN1,149,152,30,56 Home from work, ate chicken strips (3) and now am going to watch Bill Clinton on CNN.... then bed

Personally, I would only share the fact that I was BANDED with my Sponsor, one on one... the whole group does not need to know as "sharing" at the group level only needs to address Whether or not you admit that Food is out of control and your life is unmanageable. JMHO

Good points Stephanie.... I am really hungry right now 5:30ish here and I am still working.... won't get home until 8 p.m. so I am having a protien meal replacement now as I type. I have been "peeing' all day - a good weight loss sign... My body is letting go of all that water retention that comes with eating JUNK.... another 4 letter word for me!!! LOL Todays been a good food day... I am happy@ I never get in enought fruits and veggies... I'm happy if I drink a V-8 and take a multiple vitamin to cover the essentials. I do eat MEAT though at both meals usually... I like my protien!!

The last time I was in for a fill, I only asked for .10 cc... that was perfect for me.... tight enough that I couldn't over eat, but not so tight that I was achoking on my saliva at night... That is a horrible feeling. Good luck with your fill level.:tongue2:

Denise; The band is working for you... but like me perhaps you forget to "listen" to it. Or do you eat around the band. I have become very cagey and sly.... I have learned what I can and cannot eat - junk food wise... in this way I have been cheating the band. I don't know what I thought when I got the band, that all my troubles would be over... Hah,hah,hah... It (the band) does make me stop before I gorge myself... so portion control is good, however, if I eat cookies, cakes w/ icecream or drink alchohol... I am screwing it up for myself. Self-sabotage that's what I have been doing. I can't speak for you but maybe there is a bit of a REBEL in you, that you keep trying to do it your 'old' way??? Keep plugging along, we can only fight this monster one day at a time. :tongue2:

1,0671263173 1,000 - 1,050163 - 23632 - 5660 - 127 My final #'s for today.

I am getting some re-inforcements tonight. A friend of mine does Hypnosis and she is coming over to give me session. It has helped before, so I need all the oomph I can get. 6:42 starting to get hungry... I have a frozen WW chicken parm. to eat for dinner.. ... then thats' it for today's CALORIES :rose: ooh, weighed 180 this a.m. YUK, I put a calandar up in my bathroom above my scale, so I could record my weight each week and keep on track of my 1 pound per week goal.. Maybe if I have to LOOK at it all the time... it'll stick. Hubby away this week on business so I don't even have to cook suppers... I can just eat WW frozen thingys all week and drink protein shakes at work.

O.K. I'm b ack. Made a cup of tea, and my cals today so far are CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN784,102,22,45 Now that's not great but I still have 250 left for dinner. I wrote out my GOAL today, weightloss wize. I have 7 mos. until my DD's wedding in Oct. Therefore if I lose 1 lb. per wk I can be down 28-30 lbs... which would be a great way to whittle away the lbs. towards my ultimate goal. But if I break it down into smaller goals it'll be achievable. So here I go again... How many times have I re-started this program since banding? Ugh, I give up... just still trying.. I have to get it right sometime.

Janet, Your Aunt is a Doll!!! We have a holiday here too its called FAMILY DAY... guess the government felt we all needed a lONG Wkend between New Yrs and Easter!!! Its a long cold winter blecht! Stephanie is right old dirty yucky frozen snow looks pretty bad after awhile. Yesterday it was dry, sunny (cold) but a nice day all in all. I drove to visit my Mom in her seniors residence. Man she was doing really well. Watched a Golf Tournement while I quilted... When she is watching golf, she transforms into her YOUNGER self and is quite animated. It was fun to hear her talking about her 15 handicap!!!! As she hasn't golfed in at least 10 yrs... but she still recalls it all very well and knows all the pro's Names and Handicaps... I am bummed, my DD never called for Valantines day!!! I know she is busy but geez, she coulda called her Mommy
