Hey Tricia! - We can always START a LBT House party. :confused: I keep looking at these house pictures because they're so beautiful & even showed my husband. He is big into buying land & real estate. That house here in AZ would sell for close to a million. NO JOKE!! Beautiful home Tricia. We are looking at buying a peice of land on 1 acre & it's selling for $350,00. That's JUST the land! Yeah, count your blessings that you live where you do. I am thrilled for you.

Okay, I just googled myself. I had no clue this stuff was out there!!!! You can see family pictures, swimsuit pictures & MORE!! I thought I was only sharing this info. with my friends at LBT. :confused: Gayle - When you wrote that I had purchased some coins I thought you had to be wrong because I have never purchased a thing on ebay. However, I found out that my husband used my name to purchase & sell some coins on ebay. Isn't that nice?!?!?! :tired I am sure that the person who PM'd me has read this thread. At this point, I am not sure if his intentions were bad or not. He DOES have a band himself & has posted on several threads here. Maybe when he called me HOT MAMA he thought he was paying me a compliment & thought I would like being called that?!?! Either way, It just made me feel very creepy. I haven't had any problems since I posted this & I'm hoping it just stops. My concern was to see if he had done this to other girls on here. Apparently not!! Wheetsin - How scary that you had to go through what you did!! Ack!! I am strongly considering taking my pictures & personal info.down. I may leave them for a week or so after I post something, but not leave them to be googled.

If you try it, let us know how it works!! I definately think it is hard to gain weight with the band & if this diet gets the weight off - then maybe we got it home free. I can hardly eat any meat without PBing. I'd like to know just exatly what you DO eat on this diet. Anyone out there actually tried this? Share your food list! :confused:

Tricia! Absolutely beautiful!! That would be my dream home - seriously! I love lots of room & Victorian is sooooo me!! I even have pictures of similar homes that I told my husband I want to get some day. I loved the outside & THEN you showed pictures of the kitchen!! I AM IN LOVE!! Is the next Lap Band Talk party at your house?!?! If so, I'M THERE!! Congratulations!! You so deserve this Tricia!!

I sware I just wrote that post!! It sounds EXACTLY like my kids!! I feel like a mother on the edge. I am eagerly awaiting to hear the replies to this one...

I LOVED Lake House!! I have been raving about it to all my friends. My daughter was with me & totally didn't get it either. But, it's one of those kinda like Sixth Sense where you have to see it again. Or....maybe I'm just crazy!! ROFL!!

You all are FABULOUS!! As I sit here reading through all these messages, I KNOW there are people out there who are just like me & go through the same things!! I could just cry!!!!!! :cry Mrs. Husker - I LOVE YOUR ADVICE!!! I think my throat is very soar right now & I better hurry up & get with it before my ass starts becoming flat!! ROFL!!! You made my day. :eek: To all of you who are in the same boat as me - WE CAN DO THIS!! What is it going to take?! I am seriously considering giving myself some major incentive. I'm thinking possibly a full day SPA SESSION or TOTAL BODY MAKEOVER once I hit goal. I'm all over dangling carrots!! I'll think this over... THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GREAT ADVICE!!! :biggrin1: I LOVE LBT!!

Hi Honu, you do have a good point, but did you read the entire diet? Day 4 & 5 are Steak days. That's LOTS of protein! You can eat as much as you want! You are correct, I have done this kind of nonsence before. However, because I have a band now, I am hoping the weight WILL stay off. I have been at a plateau for awhile & it has helped me jump start back into the game so I am thrilled with it. I just don't see how eating lots & lots of vegetables can do anything but help you?! :rolleyes

Hey Anthony!! Sounds like this is working for you!! Congratulations!! I know I may be a little slow, but can you please remind me & all the others out there who may not know, what does VG stands for?

NJGirl - you are good!! That was fast. I read through the web-site & was surprised that it was EXACTLY how the girl described it. I thought for sure she may have exaggerated a little on the no fruits & veggies. But.....wow, it says on there specificially to not eat any grains, veggies & fruits.

So, do you think I can squeeze Oreos into this diet anywhere? :paranoid I just downed 6 oreos with a tall glass of 2% milk. (It might as well have been cream!) My husband got some Oreo dunkables for Father's Day & I hadn't touched them until today. Hey, I held out for 4 days, that's not too bad!!!!!! That sad thing is - I wasn't even hungry!! What do you think? Should I start all over again & do day 1 again tomorrow or just continue with day 3? And I was doing so good!! DAMN COOKIES!!!! :speechles Funny, I am so amazed with you & your progress. What is your secret?!?!?!?

blj5362 - See the link below!! NJchick googled it for us.

Hey All, I tried to get a hold of the girl who posted this on the other site & she hasn't been back in awhile. I wanted to see how she was doing on this diet & if she & others really stick to it. I agree that it seems very much like Atkins & I personally couldn't handle the Atkins diet. I'm wondering if the people wo follow this diet actually KEEP the weight off once they lose it.

Karen - I loved your post!! Thank you for sharing with all of us. I LOVE to read threads like this. I read it twice, just like P'nut! It's inspiring & makes me want to push myself harder to make my goal!! Thank you & congratulations on a fabulous year!! Any chance of you sending over some pictures of the new you?!?!?!

Funny - YOU ROCK!! 13 lbs. is fabulous!!

Weight in pictures 260/245/222/197

I live in AZ! Does that tell you anything? A few days ago the temp. was 115. ACK!! The only thing that saves me is to go to a gym that has ice cold air conditioning. I'm looking into buying a treadmill & setting it up right in front of the TV. The fan blowing on you sounds like a great idea. Anybody have a treadmill that they absolutely LOVE?!?! I have no clue where to even begin looking. I don't want a cheap one!

Hey Kathy - that seriously may explain your low blood sugar slump!! I'm going to assume that THIS is the reason for the juice - so we don't feel like we're going to pass out! Hmmm......Funny, what are you drinking? Did you ever feel the feelings that Kathy did?!?

Okay, here we go again! I'm on day 1 & LOVING this soup. I truly DO like it!! I want to make sure I'm doing this right . The list of things you can drink says unsweetened juices. Am I understanding correctly? Does this mean I can drink 100% grape juice, cherry juice, orange juice....etc. as long as it is pure juice & doesn't have added sugars?!?! I've been chugging down grape juice but feeling a little guilty about it. (empty calories!) What are you guys drinking?!? Am I waaaay off here?!?!?!? (Don't worry, I'm still drinkin' my Water, but also enjoying the juice too!) Also, anyone know how to find out how many calories or carbs are in a bowl of soup?

Found it! Very, very cute! And yes, your photoshop butt is adorable. Nice and round!! That's insipration. I am now able to eat normal food again, so I'm going to cook up another pot of soup & start again tomorrow. I am THRILLED that I have kept off the 5 lbs. from last week!!! YEAH!! Paula, I love the Reese's Peanutbutter Cereal. OH!!! I can taste it in my mouth. I love cold cereal!!!! I could eat it for every meal!!!

Hey, where's this picture of the photoshop version of you!?!? I want to see it!!! Is it in a specific thread?!?

I changed my new goal to be 172 - my wedding day weight. HOLY COW!! :rant: That means I am now only 25 lbs. away from goal. That seems so much more attainable. I CAN DO THIS!! Gee, I think I've lost a lb. just by the excitement of it all. This is liberating!! Ever feel like you lost 22 lbs in one day?? :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

I agree. I am going to get where I get & see how it feels once I'm there!! My goal is supposed to be 150. Heck, I weighed 172 when I was married & I thought I looked HOT!! I can't even begin to imagine myself at 150!!!!! People are telling me all the time that I must have hit goal weight & I am still far from it!! I think we all hold our weight differently & you truly can't compare yourself to someone else even if they're the same height & build. We're all just DIFFERENT!! Now that I've written this, I am really considering changing my goal weight to 172 on my ticker. I think I am just setting myself up for failure by aiming to weight 150. Okay Dawg, now you got me really thinkin' about this. Hmmmmm............. :tired

Christy, I paid about $40 when I bought all the ingredients & thought - WOW, I had no idea it would cost this much. But then remember, all this food lasts you for a full week!! Good luck on your new soup adventure. I hope you do well!!! I'll start with you again on Monday!

Hi Paula! I hit ONE-derland about 6 weeks ago!! YEAH!! (I made a thread with pictures of me stepping on the scale. Bring back memories?!?!) But, my weight changes daily & it is too frustrating to keep changing my ticker, so I just keep it at 199 because I just like seeing those numbers. It's memories of a very, very good day. Right now I weight 197. When I started the Soup diet I was at 201. I've been stuck for a while & this diet was actually getting me unstuck!!!!! I just love it! I can't wait to start it again. I am hoping I can maintain this 197 for a little bit. How are you doing Paula? Have you had any fruity pebbles lately?
