Good Morning, Dianne, sounds like your esophagus is irritated from the PB and raw from it. If your going to eat food, I would have very soft food for a day (yogurt or pudding), even a liquid diet might be good for a day to help it heal. Betty glad you enjoyed your bike ride. Some times ya gotta say WTF Cindy you'd die if you saw my closets and drawers... clutter bug for sure. Some day I'll clean them but not now, life is passing me by and the drawers are the last thing I want to do. But mostly I'm lazy :scared: :D Pat how was the banquet? You know, I've never had a manicure. My dd is 5 and she's had 2 already. I lead such a sheltered life RoFLMfAO !!!! :scared: Well nothing much is happening here today except aunt flow decided to visit me yesterday and ruining my weekend.... I get so grumpy and so dang tired I could sleep for 2 days strait... its not fare I tell yah lolol. Today I'm making tuna salad for the week and ribs (with out burning them this time lolol) and some acorn squash mmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm. Whatcha all up to?

Because knowing the system kids will unfortunately have to make a sacrifice. Shoot remember when we didn't have to pay for school supplies, we went to school with just our lunch, now before your kid goes to school they have to have at least $50.00 worth of supplies before walking thru the door. Did you know in some NJ schools they want to take away recess?????

I was very heavy in HS, my weight topped at 300+ lbs at graduation. I did the physical fitness test that year, we had to do the 1.5 mile in under 15 minutes.... I did it in 19 and this skinny, twig girl who smoked did it in over 20 minutes. Kids did not make fun of me during the test but I felt so ashamed. Times have changed, I think schools should too and they need to focus on healthy eating and exercise thats for sure. Maybe get rid of wood shop or home ec and put in health & exercise instead.

Congratulations !!!!

DUH ME !!!!!!! Thank you everyone for the Congratulations on the 50 lbs. Things are going slow (my fault) but I have no regrets and I am very happy b/c I am enjoying life with all of my favorite foods and I don't feel deprived what so ever. Slow is good IMHO !!! its the way for me. HUGS

Good Morning, Happy Saturday y'all Mandy glad the pup is in site, I hope you catch him soon. Kat I LOVE your avatar, you look at least 10 years younger..... gorgeous. When I had fifths I didn't break out in a facial rash, but had it on my body. I hope she's feeling better soon and yes, I hate it when they lay so lifeless, its heart breaking. Do you have one of those little porta potties for her? My Dd went from that to the big toilet but the little one is less intimidating for sure.... then when I found an Elmo potty seat for the big toilet she never returned to the little potty. Sherry sorry for the rough week and the moron LOL, hope you find some one who can contribute instead of making things worse. Hang in there. Problem with young kids today is they don't want to work hard (not all but the one's I've seen). Cindy I'm so glad FIL is doing well and yes, sitting in the hospital is very tiring. Patty hope your birthday was good. I'm glad you called for your band, and yes, you gotta try if it something thats in your heart. Dianne 4 FOOT CLUB !!! well howdie dooooooooooo yahoooooooooo thats awesome, you just keep melting away chicklet, I need the encouragement from others succeeding in order for me to try harder. CONGRATs !!!!! Not much is happening today, there is a flea market (tiny one) up the street from my house so me and DD will walk there and spend some money on junk that we don't need lolol. I'm gonna get my ass up and clean, then shower and get ready to go, but thats it for the weekend as far as "plans." How about you? whats in your world this weekend?

I love Morning Star, especially their Garden Veggie burgers, only 100 calories and dang tasty.

I remember being able to eat ALOT of food until I hit the 2.0 cc's in a 4 cc band. IMHO there's a big BIG difference between having 1.5 cc and going to 2.0 cc's. At least it was for me.

I'll never be a 12, ever... to much skin but wtf, who cares, as long as I'm a happy 16 / 14 I'll be happier than a pig in dodo. When I was a 14 people said I was to skinny.... go figure (haa get it, go figure). Thanks girlies. Congratulations Dianne :hug:

Happy Birthday Patty !!!! HUGS AND KISSES !!! :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2:

Well a bit of good news, I finally hit 50 lbs mark <--- enuf said. Cindy, talk about mess !! whoooo my house is not dirty but there's so much clutter its sick and its frustrating. Between work, DD, and everything else, I can only skim the surface on the weekend so by Monday the house looks like a mess again, clutter clutter. I signed up for flylady but they send you 100000000000 emails that drove me nuts so I deactivated my account. Here I'm trying not to have clutter and their emails were cluttering my inbox ROFLMFAO. GOOD LUCK WITH FIL !!!!! Kat, poor little baby. Are they sure it isn't Fifth's Disease? http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/fifth.html My DD had it when she was about 2 - 3 and I caught it from her. Hope she is feeling better. Pat, thats nuthin, wish I could take a picture of my 2 desks here at work... they are covered from end to end WTF is right, OY. Dianne congrats on the size 14 WHOOOOOOOOOAH !!!! thats awesome... can't wait for my turn (((doubt I'll ever get to a 14, so 16 is a dream come true ))) Anne, hope your boobage smooshing turns out fine :hug: Yes my dog loves pig ears too but gosh are they expensive. She loves anything that basically smells like chit LOLOL !!!! Darcy, WW is EXCELLENT !!!! you go girl. WW is one of the best taught diet plans out there IMHO. Jinkies.... 7 kids and time to exercise??? does she have a nanny and maid? lordy I'm complaining with no time and I only have 1. I hope it works out for yah. Ohhh... a birthday party at 51... LOVE IT YOU SNEAKY THING heheheheheehe Sherry love, slow down (yeah I know thats the pot calling the kettle black eh) Hope your friday is exciting. Mandy, did you find your puppy? gosh I hope so. Whats everyone doing this weekend???? Well kiddlets, time for me to run... but I'll bbl

CINDY OH CINDY !! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SIGGY !!! Your passing me up in the fast lane lady and I think thats TERIFFIC.......... YOU GO GIRL !!!!!! GO CINDY GO CINDY GO CINDY GO CINDY !!!!! 216 WHOOT

Good Morning, Mandy good luck finding your pup *crossing fingers* but mostly saying a prayer. Pat that was a fun chat this morning, I bet the lady next to me was thinking WTF is wrong with her LOLOL. You had better not chicken out with the boobage visit. Remember your back and how much it hurts and you'll have ^Perky^ girls. Darcy, my dh turned 50 this year as well, he's 8 years older than me :couch2: I never asked my DH what he wanted for his 50th, I just had a party and well... he had no choice in the matter haaaaaaaaaaaa... *shrug* Kat have fun with DGD, I've never seen a terrible 2 at 2 years old, usually when they hit 3 and 4 they are terrible 2's LOLOL. Cindy, yes I agree, rawhide products are the cause of many problems in dogs. They are IMHO and my vets opinion the worst thing you can give a dog. Sucks b/c they love them so much. Well girlies, I will sneak back in later..... have a wonderful day and be good (you know what I mean). :tired

Yep I have that same brand, got it at Trader Joe's. Mixing it with Water is really gross but it keeps the calories down. What ever you do, don't mix it in your coffee..........eeeeeeeeeeeeeew ! LOLOL Skim milk seems to be the better choice and yes add some fresh fruit and ice if you want it thicker. I never buy the chocolate flavor b/c IMHO, I haven't had any luck with finding a chocolate that taste good (except hershey's ). .

Good Morning, Pat, those hurricane pictures (okay tropical storm) were scary. Are things back to order? Oh BTW, your phone will ring again today I musta missed you yesterday. Boss is gone today, no kids and I FINALLY have time to talk. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM !!!!! Allison, is your G'ma on any sort of medicine ? My mom who is 79 kinda does the same thing. I know its VERY difficult living with some one like that but try to remember, she really doesn't mean what she says and is doing, its sort of like they can't help themselves. Its hard for us b/c we don't understand why they are doing what they do, all we see is the hurtful things they say and do and think hmmmmm they are just being that way when in fact its really a disease. Just remind your friends of her illness and to take things with a grain of salt. Trust me when I say I know how hard it is. Hang in there honey!!! you've got alot on your shoulders. Mandy, gee girl, you too have your hands full too with your little darling daughter. Depression / anxiety is not fun for adults, I can't imagine how it is for children (well yes I can). My neice has ADHD and for anxiety the doctor put her on Stratara (sp?)... she lost SOOOOOOOOOOO much weight (which she needed to) and it helps her so much its incredible. Her schooling is turned around 100% and she is now getting much better grades. I pray the meds your DD is on will help and you'll start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Your a good Mama :eek: Betty, glad the tootsies are healing, YES baby them WAAH!!! its better than having an operation thats for sure. Yes this site only. When I click on LTB and log in, my home pc gets slammed with that hacked site. I cleaned out my PC, got rid of the cookies and the infected things they throw on my PC... I'm good to go for a while and then bam.... it happens again. I won't be on my home PC until this weekend so we'll see what happens. As long as I'm at work it seems to be okay. Patty, gee girlie, I'm so sorry Channing gets those feeling, my gosh how heart breaking that is. When I was on Zoloft for post partum depression after my dd was born, I had some wicked thoughts myself. What I didn't know at that time was antidepressants can cause sucidal thoughts... the second I found out I stopped taking Zoloft, and went on Welbutrin... my gosh what a world of difference that made. I think doctors should really inform their patience when taking them, just as a precaution. I never had thoughts like that before and it scared the heck out of me. How did swim class go for him yesterday? Hey good for you for wanting to return to curves.. you go girl Kat, don't blame you for not wanting to buy clothes, I do the same thing. But work forces me to buy clothes. My 262 lb pants just don't cut it here LOLOL. Beanie.... welcome home and hey, i started my WL journey again yesterday too. I ate everything last week as well and refuse to get on the scale until I've done some good days of eating well. Hang in there. Cindy, how's school going? are the kids back into the groove yet? How's your DD ???? is she liking school this year? Darcy, I can't answer that question of if I knew it was my last day.... that is just to sad LOLOL I honestly don't know what i would do cept hold my DD and DH tight. Annie bananie fo fannie... wow, kids start school next week? thats pretty late but my friend's kids don't start until the 25th WHHHOOOO. Why do they do that?? bet its to drive the parents NUTZ !! Dianne, ya ready for your trip? bet your excited... I know I would be. What day do you leave? Sherry LOVE LOVE LOVE your puppy pictures, how darling is that little boy. Ccan I have em? Chrispy.... where are ya love? WHERE'S DOC AKA DONNA ?????? not like her to fall of the face of LBT? I miss her Nothing much is new here..... well there is but I don't have the energy to whine LOLOL :guess I'm off to the cafeteria for some milk for my tea.... ever since being banded i crave hot tea WTF? makes me feel like the old lady that I am. I really want a bagel with taylor ham and cheese but I'll pass You know girls........I have confirmed that I am the oddest person on the planet (wait is it 8 or 9 planets in our solar system now.... maybe today were're at 7) anyway back on subject........ I know that all or most of you can't eat bread products, pasta, rice.... but for me, it seems to be the easiest thing to eat WTF? I have no problem what so ever. I'd rather have toast than anything else b/c it goes down easy. Anyhooooo. I'll be back later to chat. HUGS AND KISSES

Yes, I would take that as a warning to stop. You could always eat more later if you feel hungry.

WOWEEE lookie its BEANIE !! where ya been hotstuff? Pat... your phone is ringing... hurry and answer it LOLOL... you look fabo' and look at those sexy legs. Your one hot mama. Kat... wholey smokes girl, your on fire!! you look amazing and so much happier AND younger. BIG BIG difference chicklet. Paula... we have parties for my dog too... she prefers pound cake LOLOL!!! I love your pictures and you look pretty good yourself there lady. I hope your happy b/c I would be looking like you. Sherry OMG look at that puppy, what a darling little.... okay big dog :eek: his eyes are to die for. LUV IT!!!

Good Morning, Just a quickie :welldoneclap: When the computer hacker gets my pc, it freezes everything and I can't go anywhere until I clean it out (reboot it first), the site is in a different language *shrug* dumb scums !!! BBL ;0

Happy Birthday Penni !!! Enjoy your day and I hope there's a little cake in it :welldoneclap:

Hi kids, I logged into LBT again and go HACKED !!! I didn't do anything but log in so I'm gonna lay off the site for a while (few days) until they can find and correct this hacker, its a real PITA. Tomorrow I'll try to sneak in at work but I'd hate to take the chance with the company PC. TTYL Huggies.....

I'm telling you, if I didn't have to work full time, I would have 5 dogs (thats the limit here I think w/out having to have a kennel license).. I just love dogs. Bless your sister is RIGHT !!!!!!

Darcy we were writing at the same time.... good to see yah.

Good Morning, Well here I sit watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon.. I love that man, he is one of my favorite actors of way back when :girl_hug: I grew up with him and just saying his name makes me laugh. This cup of cinnamon pecan coffee sure does taste good. MANDY !!!! of course I know who you are darling.... pull up a chair and relax with us. I think the only way us gals will fight in here, is if I post another picture of that german chocolate cake LOLOL snort ~~:guess You've done amazingly wonderful with your weight loss, I'm very proud of you. Your doggy is a sweet heart, I'm so glad you rescued him I have a 12 (almost 12) year old dog that we rescued 10 years ago... the best pet I ever ever ever had. Ohhhhhhhh wait until Darcy finds out hehehee. Sherry how's DH?? wasn't he sick last week too? My Dh does not fix computers for a living... its just something he loves to do, kinda like a hobby. See computers are like cars to me, I don't wanna know nothing and all I want to have to do is put gas in it and zooooooom ! I know, not good but WTF? LOLOL Crispy, YESSSS get your insurance straightened out asap... they are sly and the last thing you need is for them to have the wrong codes at the hospital... they will make you pay for it. Lentil Soup yum. The best thing my mom did was make me some soup when I first got home OMG was it a life saver. Patty, I always say, do what ever works and if those shakes work then its worth it. I was just curious about the calories.... if I eat more than 1400 calories a day, I don't lose weight and I can eat 1400+ with the band no sweat. For years people would yell at me to eat Breakfast but once I started to eat breakfast it would trigger me to want to eat all day but they laid such a guilt trip on me it wasn't funny.... So I ate breakfast only to crave food all day and gain weight. So now!!! I say WTF it works for me not to eat breakfast (plus I'm not really hungry) in the morning so phooie I'm not. It works out so much better. Cindy thats so sad to hear abut your FIL and his wife's passing. My Mom didn't throw out any of my fathers stuff until YEARS !!!!! later, prob 10 or more... yes its heart breaking and everyone greives at their own pace. Girl if you can get here, I still have some of those meat balls....but NOW i'll have ribs b/c thats what I'm making today mmmmmmm mmmmmm. Betty hope you got to smoke your meats... yesterday FINALLY we had a beautiful day but tomorrow we are expecting rain again... I feel so soggy and you should see the mushrooms growing in people's yards.... GROSS. Kat, watcha up to today? so have you been looking in he local pound for a pup LOLOL you know to replace the Lucy you found :guess :guess :guess (((Eileen ducking so that Kat doesn't slap her up side the head lolol)))) Darcy, did you run away this weekend? did I miss a post LOLOLOL (((duh me))) Pat........ I WILL CALL YOU !!! don't think I'm avoiding you, its just things have been SOOO hairy here. Mary, sorry your DB didn't show with the doggy what was he thinking LOLOL just kidding. So watcha got planned for today? BEANIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! yo BEANIE !!!!!!!!!!!!! where the heck are you girl? sheesh we miss yah. I have my neice here today, she spent the night OMG just picture a 5 year old and 6 year old under the covers trying to sleep NOT!!!!!! they giggled until 11 PM and would have kept going but I couldn't take it LOLOL. I'm going to straighten out the house and throw those ribs in the oven....thats about it for my day. My arthrits is SOOOO flared that I can't bend my stinkin knee when I sit. If I do bend it the pain is so bad it brings tears to my eyes. Its from all this damp weather so i'm praying it doesn't last much longer. My hips and back hurt as well and it makes it hard to move around. Makes cleaning so much harder......but if I don't move I'm screwed.... 6 of one 1/2 a dozen of another if ya know what I mean. Well little ladies.... enjoy the holiday :girl_hug:

OMG Darcy, he is beautiful and yes he's gonna be a BIG BOY !! Oh I love em !!!!
