ok - DH really was upset i'd wear that fab hat; and asked i don't. i'll be respectful; we're ticket holders (partial) and i do root for them unless it's against the gmen. i'll post pics on FB for you to see the new gigs:) tailgates are starting at 2 tom..... CRAZY in D for FOOBALL!

not sure what carbs your talking about - but i like to include complex ones into my diet (fruit/veggies/whole grains). i work out decently, spin 3x a wk / weight train another 2 - if i went all protein.... well, i'm not going to be satisfied for long periods of time. that is just my experience with playing around with food for the last 2yrs and yes you can be successful after a yr. i've been maintaining for 14 months - but still "try" to make healthy choices / nutritional ones on most days.

well i find the arrogance that shit can't happen, makes me want to puke in my mouth - but i'm pretty sure that's a slidder food.....

oh please do - i'd prefer one who had to revise to the sleeve. most mods fall into that category right???? cause this ole' band never causes problems - unless you do it to yourself.....

**snort** really, i should follow your dr's directions or everyone else here (s'pcially them not at goal) cause those rules are just so important and you won't be successful w/out. i should fire my dr - shame on him for putting that band in me w/less than 100lbs to lose. should call the AMA on him??? but i gave him 30k for my band & DH's - should have saved that coin - got fatter and used that money for new teeth had i known i'd have to chew till i grinded them down. or wait - what if i had a complication & decided i enter those threads and well, those w/out have a lot to say.... things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMM

fantastic!!!

KC absolutely is.!.!.!. i think the IL are moving for many reasons: * DH no longer pays attention to them - she (MIL) cried wolf about too many times and he just can no longer stand her * north texas (dallas) is not cheap to "retire" to * we have no kids (shame on me) - so nothing to keep them here * SIL is getting married (gay) DH is her best man (LOVE him for that) and well, line in the sand drawn......this of course all my opinion..............giggling & snorting:)

* DH has allowed me 3 days to gloat, smirk, laugh, giggle, throw a parade & buy a new house warming present for his parents. the good karma is their moving an hr from my parents and i should sick my mom on them.....LOL TPG - go back 2 - 300 pages ago w/MIL dramz (especially around christmas time). * diva - i can only use the shappers every other time, i was getting charlie horses in my calf/toes. bought more bananas just in case:) * ebony - hope you find some fab 14 shorts. there are some GREAT sales going on, i hit dillards yesterday real quick - and to buy off the rack not try on and pay nothing was the biggest NSV so far. * KC, again i would like to thank you for the doggie treats. i have been spoiling the dogs w/them & DH even tried one today; he said you can cook for him anytime.

thank you much ebony ; are you doing any weight training? oh good GRIEF!!!! watch for me on TV tom night at boys' game:) i'll be the one w/the giant bcap on:)

i miss taps as well - i hope she's at least lurking and see's our notes willing her to come back!!!!! yes, diva - it's thursday and i have gotten "some" stuff done; i've just gotten a bit lazy lately and let a few things house/ranch slide .... oops *** for slim *** - christmas came early for me, MIL/FIL are MOVING to florida........ the collective cackle, laugh & snort can be heard from TX if you listen closely:)

i actually spend way too much time & $$$ @ whole foods & watching food porn:) think my ADD keeps me changing up the variety:)

i see we both changed the avi's tsday - nothing wed - 30min treadmill / 30min stairmaster today - spin class (ltr in the day)

very true. like parrothead cathy - i don't enjoy a gym that doesn't have a decent sampling of ALL types, but i'm a bit land locked in the country having only 2 choice w/30mins of me. that said - i would put your ipod/mp3 on & get lost in your own world. i think anyone that would comment or stare at someone actually DOING something about their weight, are persons i wouldn't waste my breath on. good for you getting out there & good luck on your journey.

tell me diva.... yesterday - b- 2 slices of grilled watermelon, 4oz cottage cheese l- 4 chicken pot stickers, few bites seaweed salad d - caprese salad s- greek yogurt w/granola / half banana

* send each other ingredients - you then have to come up w/a dish * great idea she came up with:)

* diva - i LOVE those shapper tennis shoes, i don't wear them all the time - but have found a great workout on the stairmaster w/them!!!! congrats on WW working out for ya; i read your thread often.!. * OK, doing laundry - not happy ... but top chef is on tonight * KC decided to pull a bobbly flay and create a food challenge w/me - it's ON! thought i'd bring all trash talking here as well as FB:) :biggrin:

i would say, get an unfill. eating wasn't really a problem till i got sick - then it followed up w/reflux. had 2 unfills w/in a wks time and it was amazing how fast the symptoms went away. i am "practicing" what i learned in about 2yrs w/portion control - but my appetite did return & a few lbs.....but i'm OK for the moment. trying to get more gym time in and push the plate away when i KNOW better not to eat more. have a checkup monday - would love to be able to ease back up some, nothing greedy ... just some assistance:)

* boycotted laundry & i think it doubled overnight??? * no peacocks - DH said NO WAY & he's just fine w/our neighbor taking the goats, think i'll ride over today & have him just pick them up * it's muggy in dallas this am as well glouc! * tpg - my experience w/this forum, is that there are some sick individuals....not healthy, tread w/caution in MO. re - surgery, get your pain/anti nausea meds filled in advanced, i didn't have gas but had some back pain & used my heating pad for 2wks. try protein drinks ahead so you have one you like, and most importantly - the phone number to your local chinese restaurant handy for delivery of soup (me egg drop)... * good news on the interview ebony * today is wed right???? i need to get my act together and get stuff done, bbl!

we have krogers here in TX & plan on looking for some this wk - thanks!!! glad your feeling better slim! yesterday - b- .5c lobster salad, .5c 4 bean salad l- slice goat cheese meatloaf, 2 big spoonfuls of spinach risotto d- @ a tapas bar picked on: taboule salad, greek flatbread w/cheese, wine, choc cheese cake:blink: * i could really use a fill here soon - go monday and i might just BRIBE my surgeon or beg profusely = or both!!!!*

***golf claps*** sums me up PERFECTLY

this a new thing slim?

i am SO glad my breakfast had already been digested. really?? that is beyond disturbing - SO grateful for the medical field that can / care for this stuff.

* grey hair - omg, what a PITA.....seems like they only hold color for 2wks then BAM, back w/a vengence. * just got heartfires user name as well - hope your hubby is safe michelle * plain & KC have nurse humor going on, have to re-read (too many mojitos i think) * ebony, good thoughts on your interview today * kristen, DH and i picked out some artwork last night; i'll take a pic when we get it back - again thanks for the link! * pool gal has a few days till surgery - exciting time, i got banded around holiday time and it was scary to start eating around turkey/xmas day * laundry fairy didn't show up yesterday; need to track him down and slap him a bit: catch ya ltr!

hi & welcome! yesterday - b- 1 scrambled egg on slice WW toast l - .5c lobster salad, .5c 4 bean salad s- slice of cheddar on rice cake d- slice of goat cheese meatloaf & .5c spinach risotto

get a floor fan & prop it up right in front of your elliptical. while i'm from NY (Long Island) - been in TX for a while now & it being 90+ for several months is the norm (we do have AC & pool). i recall my trainer having me run in 107 degree weather many a days - you just manage. as you lose, you become more fit & you can handle the heat a bit more. it's a short window (depending where your at in NY) - be fall in a blink. all the best!
