Brandy~

The main recipe box is way too hard to follow. I get tired of trying to weed through all of it.

I thought about doing something crazy and going ultra blonde haha. I miss the 80's!

Oh you will be just fine on the rides! That will be so much fun

haha Bea you're my kinda girl! Too bad no one lives close to me I would love to get out now and then and have 1 or heck 5 drinks lol.. I would love to see a recipe thread. I would like to find a soup that high Protein (not beans) that I can make a batch of and actually enjoy eating. Soups are easy for me in the morning and I would rather eat something instead of Protein shakes since my bands tight early in the day.

I guess I might be misreading the tone. It's probably best not to say things like that to people and give them reason to worry.

I just use a leaf of leafy green lettuce (Not iceburg) put a tiny bit of spinach dip or mayo lay 1 piece of lunchmeat in there with a tbsp or 2 of shredded cheese ....... roll and eat. Yummy

Well I hate to sound like a broken record but I use daily plate.

Wow I missed alot the last few days. I have been so busy the last few days... I didn't even bother to log in cause I would get side tracked. That's funny L2L I just got my hair cut last week... I think I am growing a 3rd eyebrow and need to go in to get waxed too! I never seem to find the right time to do it. When I get waxed I am red for hours so I have to plan ahead lol. Sorry TMI lol

Because I have 3 Months 3 weeks till the beaches of Kauai

Does your insurance cover dermatologists? They can asses the scar and give you the best treatment for the type of scar you have.

My fridge is packed with protein friendly foods at all times. I have also converted the pantry to protein friendly foods. I usually plan ahead but in the event I am unable to I have all those foods easily accessible. I keep lettuce wraps with shredded chicken and cheese in the crisper ready to go, Jerky, protein shots, protein shakes.

I had a protein shakes thing in the hospital

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you had ccomplications. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. ((HUGS))

I chose 160 to make a realistic goal that was attainable. I have always had the intentions to continue though to probably around 140. Although 160 I was comfortable with in the past I question whether I was just settling with that weight at the time.. I had the surgery to get healthy so 140 would put me at a much lower risk for many diseases.

For my 6 month post op appt the doctor is having me do a full panel of labs before the appt with fasting. Has anyone had theirs done yet or does your doctor do them? I am just curious how they turned out and what all they look for :smile2: I was fortunate not to have diabetes and such before the surgery so not sure what it will show for me.

B~ 1Cup Tomatoe soup w/2 TBSP of shredded cheese S~1oz Jerky L~2 Very tiny slices of chicken pizza Delite from papa murphys S~handfull of trail mix and then 1 cup of popcorn

Wow Bea... I am so sorry that you and your friends family is going through this. I wish everyone the best and miracles come when you least expect it that's why they are miracles so no one should ever give up hope.

I had a super weekend thanks for asking! I think I burned all my 2 pounds off cleaning house. Just like you Leslie I washed clothes all weekend. I even ran out of stuff to wash and raided the kids rooms lol. I don't think I have 1 piece of dirty laundry in our house right now. I even washed the dog beds haha. Then if that wasn't enough I shampooed the downstairs carpets and washed all the baseboards. I was sweating up a storm... My DH was too while trying to lift the remote to change channels between football games... Man must be nice to have Skinny genes. I felt really good getting alot done though. I am going to try and go back to the gym though tomorrow morning.. They don't have classes during the hours I can go to the gym I wish they would do a really early class but I am sure there isn't enough demand for it.

Just checking in... Okay so the freaking scale moved! Hooray I can't wait for Onederland! I am 213 now!! I have never been so happy to lose 2 pounds since I keep getting stuck. My weight loss has been so weird. I go 3 weeks on a plateau then drop 4-6 pounds then plateau again. I am just happy that I have lost this much and know that even if its sparatic its coming off Mom I think I found the secret though for getting over the hump... Drink 3 glasses of Merlot haha it worked for me... Really I don't promote people to drink though because of addiction transfers but it was still a good time lol Hope everyones having a good Monday.. as good as it can be for a Monday. Guess I should go do some work.

One more down... Going slow but atleast it's going Name_________StartWeight___CurrentWeight______Goal________ToGo *****<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f" filled="f" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600">:cool2:</v:shapetype>************************:tt2:**********:eek:******:crying:* agreatknead........204............198...........180...........18 areellady..........189............189...........159...........30 BIGB...............342............342...........300...........42 BellaPerdente......287............230...........200...........30 Boos02.............258............226...........200...........26 Brandy.............221............214...........191...........23 BrownBear..........240............235...........200...........35 Cadets71...........223.4..........223.4.........189...........34.4 Claudine...........250............250...........225...........25 Bunkey1965.........194............178...........170...........8 CubsGirl17.........172............164...........150...........14 Cutiew/booty.......251............243...........220...........23 cQQlgirl...........195............195...........175...........20 crzytchr...........276............275...........246...........29 Dionna113..........199............195...........160...........35 Ekat...............527............172...........152...........19 feefee57...........262............212...........180...........32 FeliciaLevy75......240............225...........190...........35 GillieBean.........304............296...........264...........32 HeatherO...........150............144...........130...........14 Hollie ............l54............154...........125...........29 Jeni 85............182............182...........160...........22 Jillbeme...........235............207.5...........185.........22.5 Josie74............260............255...........215...........40 klmsilva...........216............212...........190...........26 legster............183............183...........160...........23 linksmom...........251............240...........200...........40 Liquidbluegal......225............220.4.........199...........21.4 Liz_hager..........161............158...........130...........28 Long2BThin.........253............231...........215...........16 lotzasunshine......292............284.5.........250...........34.5 Luu2008............230............199.5.........153...........46.5 Mamanmidwife.......295............295...........260...........35 MELISSA AGUIRRE....266............233...........160...........73 Melody2006.........223............223...........173...........50 MiniPearl#2........???............???...........???...........??

OMG AUbrie reminded me biggest NSV of all NOT SNORING! My husband doesn't get so mad at me that I kept him up all night with snoring!

WOW no I applaud you for having such small ones and not having more than a few sips! That's joke :smile2: Mine are 13 and 16 so having ones that small would really smack me back to reality!

Hooray it's the weekend! Anyone have plans? I am gonna seriously try to be good. We have guests tonight so I might have a couple glasses of wine. Gotta live a little now and then right?

I would die if someone took my spanx from me. I NEVER take them off except for bed. Since they smooth everything out I can wear usually 1 size smaller and look good in my clothes :smile2: So YES you can still wear spanx.
