funny to see this thread this morning, as i'm down w/the flu. i got a flu shot monday morning, and by yesterday morning i felt very naseaus. called my dr and he called my pharmacy for anti nausea meds. they appear to have worked, not hungry at all - at this point see no reason for an unfill...

congrats smsmithart on being in the 150's!!! slim - have you had a fill yet? snt - i can't do scrambled eggs anymore; lost the taste of them, ate a bunch in mushy stage; that along w/egg drop soup:rolleyes: susan - you can skip the political threads, same old same old discussed - nothing new.. tap - i'm FREEZING this am in north TX!! it's 40 ish, and i have a scarf on inside with sweats * socks..i never wear socks...then again; i have a touch of the flu, and it would be nice if LBT works today while i'm veggin in bed....... isn't spring/summer - warmer in Aussie land now she?

tap i know your a lover of books, i'm a magazine junkie, hubby as well. from his discovery/pc times stuff and my vanity fair & texas montly we could wall paper our house 10times over. i have my grandfathers collection of Life Magazie / national geographic - which he kept in these leatherbound binders.....i like reading those old articles.. movies - ANYTHING by the coen brothers (o'brother where art thou/big lebowski/hudsucker proxy....all of them). i love independent films, the IFC & sundance channel is played a lot in our home. i can't stand big budget, bang em' up movies. i have a "sick" movie & i don't feel so hot today; so i plan on popping it in: "under the tuscan sun". just a charming feel good movie, with a beautiful setting. once a year DH & i will have a citizen kane watch party, starting w/RKO 281 (the HBO documentary about the making of Kane)...6+hrs - need a day to invest in watching it all..:biggrin:

yesterday - didn't feel so hot , same today:frown: b- hot tea l- 1c tortialla soup d- half english muffin w/butter s- hot tea

wow - 3pages after i crashed early last night. fanny - can't believe your beau is 50!!! - VERY handsome! snt - when can you eat? move to mushies donna - i stopped posting in my oct '07 thread in dec. it was very weak, mostly complaining... jealousy - not in hubby's DNA plain - like to see a pic of the chaps:wink:

i have faith you will be!!!

plain - you nekkid' in your avtr???

mine is VERY slow too - wonder if it's LBT?? my teeth have been overly sensitive forever - but i had 8 veneers done back in june (4 top , 4 bottom), and zoomed the rest today (donna - HUGE difference!!!). flu shot; ugh - just feel sluggish want mom to brush my hair....should fly her in from FL...LOL gain weight...weighed 116 today at his office; told me to pick the calories up....mind you i'm barely 5'1. hubby bought me a heath bar blizzard tonite, and my lab is enjoying it.....i'd rather pasta butter * cheese:ohmy:

fanny - keep posting your honey updates. i LUV the honeymoon stage; LOVE it. your posts take me back in time, my courting time w/DH was the BEST time of my life. bar none!!!

i know - shy baby come around?? posting - done w/the mccain thread, had lapband dr & dentist appts today, and got a flu shot. lapband dr tells me, i should gain weight; dentist did "zoom" - so have pretty shiny teeth, and the flu shot makes me want matzah ball soup.

brian, i probably eat 3 or 4 cucumbers a wk with hummus (i make my own). it's my go to meal when i don't feel like making something or cutting up a salad :thumbup:. i think your meal choice w/salad is great with little to no restriction!

was in my 120's my whole adult life till i got married at 30. 1- stopped being active 2- ate TOO much 3- drank TOO much wine and in 7yrs packed on 75lbs.... now, i much more active; eat appropriately & occassionally have a glass of wine:wink:....75lbs GONE!!!:thumbup:

i started eating salads as soon as i was cleared to solids. i've yet to have any issue with veggies/lettuce of any kind - but dry chicken will halt me in my tracks!!!

congrats BBK!!

OMG - i am just SO over these %^&* threads!!!!!, and yet i can't look away...:thumbup: my bet is at least 6 more threads will be created in this last wk & they will exist WAY after the election. SNT - my port is VERY exposed, it use to be right next to the belly button - but is resting right under my sports bra. DH and i call her (yes her) trudy .. for protruding port. yes that exposed to have a name...LOL:laugh:

i'm usually up by 530 as well & typically have 2-3cups of coffee first thing. depending on my gym schedule, i eat around 8am most days. yesterday - b- 2oz smoked samon w/tsp cream cheese, slice of tomato l- 1 chicken/cheese enchilada d- slice of veggie pizza s- 1/2c bare naked granola (vanilla/almond) & fresh raspberries, 2tbsp FF cool whip

the only thing my doctor told me in this regard was to listen to my body. i self imposed a calorie "limit" per day in the beginning of 800-1000 & that did not bode well early weight loss. so i played around with calories & meals along with exercise and found the "number" that worked for me specifically, that resulted in weightloss. that was around 1100-1200 calories per day, and i'm very active. i journal my food still, but don't count calories - i've gotten to the point i know what my meals add up to in a day & if i need to do an extra mile in my run that day....so be it.

last wk of oct ya'll!!! today - 3.5mile run....back to running; varicose vein healed!!!

i too also journal what i eat & my exercise. if i don't see it in writing, i can't make adjustments......i also was a slow loser in the beginning, the journal habit kept me honest when i would get frustrated...

yesterday - b- choc/banana protein shake l- half tuna wrap s- other half tuna wrap d- "maybe" 2oz seared ahi tuna, 2 asparagus w/hollondaise & the bad part..2martinis & 2 glasses of wine *out w/friends*, need to go for a run now.

there would be a lot more money here vs elsewhere, and since the comment was made "cut costs" was just wondering if that included the cost of the war. i also don't discount the greed of wall street & washington. very respectful of your children & pray they're safe!

gadget, not sure i know your position here - but are you in favor of us removing ourselves from a war that is crushing our economy?
