i know - doing nothing today. tquad - hope your tooth/mouth is feeling better. nothing worse than tooth pain IMO. taps - my only competition is myself.....well and beating ceradad's body fat %:laugh: i have personal fitness goals (more so than weight) as the big 40 approaches.:smile:

my surgeon was not a fan of Protein shakes/smoothies either once i moved onto the solid food phase. he preferred i got my nutrients from food sources and that's what i did. however now, i will have a shake or smoothie daily because that's what i'm in the mood for. i have taken to making my own, and playing around w/a few recipes. my dr has no issue with this as i'm no longer really in weight loss mode & the extra protein before or after a workout doesn't hurt. a lot of people have a shake in the AM because they are too tight first thing, and that is all they can get down. i would get a clear explanation from your dr as to why.

guilty of too much sleep here last night. crashed on DH while watching TV around 830.....and slept in:rolleyes: gone - i'm always cold, suppose to get in the 70's today - but right now it's a cold 37.

yesterday - b - EAS carb control strawberry shake l- half tuna wrap s- other half tuna wrap d- 1 potato skin w/sour cream & glass of wine

yes the blue team i did forget & others. the one on the ranch - love him, the one at home...not so much. in the opening he was seen like orange's partner at home eating food he should not..., he also had no problem during the temptation challenge eating 900+ calories. green girl back home - didn't appear whinny as she did in the beginning, turning down temptation & making decent food choices while out with friends. i also didn't mention pink , i'm charmed by the mother / daughter team!!!

couple thoughts - * i get the yellow team misses her family, but she has to stop the water works. makes it hard for me to root for her through the tears. * green team - she is fierce; and determined & knows how to play the game... * black team - SAA; they're tough competitors. * orange - i think he needs more personal medical intervention...same with the brown dad. and oranges' partner does not need fried chicken, he needs a better support system - one that does not make food temptations readily available. * purple - KICKED ASS, i really wanted her to win immunity. * red team - looked great. i can speak to doing the weight loss thing w/a partner (DH), makes a world of difference rather than trying to fight it alone. look forward in seeing them in the finale *** silver, hmmm. i think joelle needs a psych appt, and i don't say that to be mean. the fact she shuts down so readily, you can see the struggle she has forming personal relationships & being able to communicate.*** i hope they see that. finally - smart move to get rid of red by jillians team. keep the problem in tact; but that just might have the reverse affects from bobs team - getting even!!!! next wk - UGH, i hope the promos are not real.

donna - when i quit working; my shoe collection turned into a nice display in my closet that needs dusting every now and then:tongue: i drag them out when needed - but got SO use to walking around barefoot; pedicures are a MUST!~

i'm jealous. was at the gym today, and saw everyone pushing hard... i just walked REAL SLOW for 40mins. my dr doesn't even want that much, as on top of the hernia it was discovered i had a small infection by the port site. so i'm just creeping along hoping not to get out of the swing of being in the gym. i can easily be distracted:blushing:

i started in a 8.5 shoe and now back into 7.5's which is where i was before gaining weight. it is totally possible!

oh GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wink: susan - sorry about your MIL, hope she is doing well. if you find out the cure for dog gas let me know....i have it times 5 plus DH!!!:tongue: taps - good luck w/your fill snt - i typically never carry a purse, heels he can handle....that or throw me over his shoulder, but i end up w/bruises that way:sneaky:

oh good, i'm glad your feeling better!!!!! yesterday - b- vanilla/peanut butter protein shake s- 1c edamame l- cup of pinto bean soup w/tortilla chips d - 2oz smoked turkey on wasa cracker w/cream cheese

i did mention that i'm a mess in heels....and i had that tidbit written in our vows, that he carry when i was done wearing...LOL :w00t:

flip flops & uggs don't require heel pads:tongue: i'm a mess when out w/dh who is a ft +3 inches taller than me. he ends up carrying my heels while i walk barefoot by nights end, when out & about.

as a citizen, supporter & one who voted for president obabma - today was beautiful!

that is truly great news slim!!!! much congrats!!

that's great taps!!! didn't do anything yesterday today - walk 35mins

omg - i spend too much time here & facebook dh says. this is my first & only forum i've ever been on - i couldn't imagine another site to surf...:wink2: pjtp - it's a GOOD day!!!

kc - you look GREAT!! yesterday - b- skinny latte l- half turkey wrap d- 2 chicken epenadas s- small bite rum cake - it's out of the house finally!!

ha!!, cute!!

he is very handsome, and quite into how one looks physically. i'm not sure his wife's weight is the issue, more so that she's on the wrong team than he prefers. i'm in the minority of this thinking - but it's not really a stretch. suck on toothpaste - will leave you minty fresh.... passing that thread by.................

if i want to stay under 130lbs; i have to exercise - which will afford me the ability to pretty much eat what i want. if i'm not exercising - i have to watch the calories a bit more. i just had a small unfill last wk & will hold steady for a while to see if it's a good place for maintenance.

i see what your saying glouc - not sure ultimatums would ever work for me personally, probably have the reverse affect. i will see this guy next friday night at a diner party - i bet he is stag.

you found it :wink5: taps - i am right there w/you. only i was allowed to comment on the size of my booty.

for myself and more importantly, those around me ... a cup or 2 a day is much needed. dr. also didn't have an issue, as it was listed on post op liquids:)

i had a good experience there. i was banded an hr before my husband; our surgeon had us hooked up on iv right next to each other, and it was very private - more so than other surgeries i've had in a hospital. my dr is no longer affiliated, however i had no issues with SCOR.
