Yep, down 2 more lbs. I saw Dr. Davis......he is pleased with my weight loss. He gave me homework for the next two weeks. I have to write a possitive affirmation like....."I am reaching my goal" or something like that. I have to recite it over and over before I go to sleep and when I wake up. Then I have put a picture of myself I hate next to a picture of my favorite food. That is on top of a page.....on the bottom I need to paste a picture of what I want to look like and a picture of a healthy meal. I have to look at it before I go to bed and when I wake up. I am sure this in the Beck book , but I didn't get that far. I am gonna do it. My nutritionist said when I am feeling like munching find something to do that gives me comfort and replace it with snacking. I decided I will crochet. I love to crochet, but I just haven't done much in years. Okay, now y'all know the next step of my plan. Just wanted to share in case it might help any of you. HUGS!

CONGRATS! Peas........I am going to Dr Davis this morning and will weigh in. I think I lost 2lbs. I will call back later. Have a great day!!!

Apples, I love your guesses. No offense here. Yep, should have filled their bottles with coke......lol. I think it may have been cherry flavored. I am putting my mom in skilled nursing tomorrow for rehab. She may be there twenty days......it's a medicare thing and a good thing. I hope they don't cut that out. She will get stronger and be able to go back to her apartment. Sorry gang......I haven't read many of the posts. Great, I did read yours. I hope you get your asking price. I hope y'all have a good evening. Me, I am a Survivor fan. I did have two shakes today and ate chicken twice......not bad. I weigh in on Friday.

Arlene....worked on the ranch-Wrong!.....worked at a pharmacy for 75cents and hour. My best memory was the soda fountain.....chrome and red swivel seats.......loved cherry cokes with cherries. My worst memory.....selling codiene cough syrup to the bums hooked on that stuff. They had to sign for it every day. My sister worked at the pharmacy across town and the same people would come by every day to buy their bottle.

Thanks! I hope your tweak works for you. I'll check in when I weigh in on Friday.

Hey, Crzy and Kimaly.......you are both doing good. I still haven't lost as much as you two have. Keep it up! Well, my 86 yr old mom is in the hospital with pneumonia. She is better today and I will be putting her in skilled nursing care tomorrow or Thursday. Needless to say, four shakes a day are not happening. I can't make them at the hospital so it has been one meal and one protein bar with a shake for breakfast and one for evening snack. I think I lost another lb. I will see Dr. Davis on Friday for a monthly check up. Yikes! I would like to lose two this week. Take care all!

Hey gang........I got home early. My mom had 103 last night and then her fever broke. She is much better today. She is up and has walked several times. I am going to put her in skilled nursing care tomorrow or thursday. "The prayers of the righteous availeth much". Thanks! Oh, I have done good so far today. I did eat baked chicken instead of spring rolls. I'll have one more shake tonight. Again...........thanks for all the support and encouragement. You keep me going!

Good Morning! I am fixin ( southern slang) to go to the hospital. Apples, here is the plan.....gonna drink a shake now.....I bought spring rolls for lunch (3-198calories).....got a protein bar for a snack.....then a shake this evening. Oh and two bottles of water. Okay, I am off. Please keep my mom in your prayers. Her name is Norma Jene. HUGS! to all! Oh, Janet, I remember the ironing thing too. I think I was paid 5 cents. I wish I could pay my grandkids 5 cents to iron. They would want at least a buck.

Hi gang! Thanks for all the well wishes for my mom. She is doing better. The pneumonia is in her right lung. For some reason her left elbow is hurting her. She probably bumped it and doesn't remember. Anyway, I am way off plan. I drank a shake at home, but then went down hill from there. I ate chicken nuggets....about 3, then I ate a protein bar. Now, I just ate some saltines. Okay, back to at least 2 shakes tomorrow. I go see Dr. Davis on Friday. Yikes! I better straighten up! I will be gone all day tomorrow........sitting at the hospital. I hope to get my mother home by Thursday.

Jessica, You are a Doll!!! Well, gang......only got in one shake today. I was with my mother in the ER. She has pneumonia. I may be a hit and miss for a few days till I get her out of the hospital. I am just glad it wasn't her heart. My shakes are going to be a challenge. I might just have to do two for a few days.

Good morning peeps! Well, I think I blew my plan for the week. A friend brought potato salad and BBQ while I was gone. Potato salad is my weakness. I ate some. Back on track today, but the nutritionist said when you eat carbs it takes three days to get back ketosis. Oh well, it was good going down, but I might pay for it in the weigh in. Lori, I hope you find your dream home in SLC Julie.........SLOW DOWN! Take care of yourself! Joyce, that "first bite syndrome" can get ya if you have gas on your tummy. Wait a few moments after your first bite and see if you burp.....then you are good to go. That is my experience with pbing. Hi Deb! Phyl, I love, love, love.....my Iphone. It is much easier than you think........I am tech challenged, but I can work it. Jewel, we talked about perfectionism in our nutrition class. It can be a real plan killer. So if you slip at one meal re- group and get back on plan. Same for housework. Don't look at the big picture......one room, one closet, one drawer at a time. You will "git r done". Off to church........I hope all of you have a great Sunday!

One day.......I am glad you like the vanilla Pro Joe. For some reason when I drink it with coffee it cuts my cravings and appetite. So, I drink it three times a day and usually use one Pro Joe for the three coffees. Cheri, CONGRATS! ON THE WEIGHT LOSS! It is amazing to me how much easier shakes are with the band. When I do eat I can only eat about 2-3oz of protein and a little salad.

Well, the front blew in and we escaped all the bad thunder storms. I took a muscle relaxer last night so I got a good rest. Yay! I lost another lb. Yay! I will officially weigh in on Wed. Janet, the blueberries are good in the mix......and blueberries are not my favorite berry. Last night I tried a vanilla shake and swirled sf chocolate syrup in it. It was awesome till I read on the syrup label that I had injested 70 extra calories.....Yikes! No more of that! Okay, gang, have a great day!

Linda, I didn't know you had FM too. So sorry to hear that especially since you live in colder climate. Now I am worried about my 86 year old mother. I just called her and she is aching and has chills. She says it is the weather, but she has a bad heart. She says her chest does not hurt. Hopefully, it is the weather. I take muscle relaxers about once a month when other stuff doesn't work. Take care!.....stay warm!

Eva and Lori, thanks for the heads up on the weather. It is starting. I woke up at 3am this morning with slight aches. I took my FM med at 4am and went back to sleep till 6am. This is the weirdest syndrome. It all hinges around the weather change.......kinda like allergies. Sunday is going to be cool and sunny. I made the best shake this morning. Two scoops of chocolate protein powder, 3 squirts of Da Vinci sf almond syrup, and a half a cup of frozen blueberries....of course with water and ice. It was YUUUMMMMYYYY!!!! My Majic Bullet is really getting a workout. I hope it holds up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!!!!! Thanks gang for the props on the lb. As the weeks go by it is getting easier. I do have the option of 4oz of chicken and 2cups of lettuce for a replacement. I have been taking advantage of that perk. I just got back from seeing my friend that had the PS. She had her arms, breasts , and tummy done. I was surprised to see how well she is doing after three days. Her tummy is so flat. I think if I got anything done it would be my stomach. Oh well, right now I just have to focus on my weight loss. By for now.......gotta go SHAKE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LORI! Apples love the farm pics. My dad was raised on a farm in East Texas. Many of my relatives are or were farmers........mainly cotton. As for me, I helped my kids raise pigs for the county fair and we did have a vegetable garden. Well, I am back from my nutrition class. I lost just one lb. I only ate 650 calories that last couple of days. She said that throws your body into starvation mode and you won't lose. Okay, I will drink all four shakes a day from now on. i am sure it didn't help that I went off plan this past weekend and ate beef. Lesson learned.

Linda, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ME TOO!!!!!!

Apples, I burned calories just reading your posts today. Whew......what a day! I wish I had a cup of your energy. I hope you get a good rest tonight. I'll check in tomorrow.

Hi gang! Jessica........proud of you girl! Julie...........take it easy! Laura......congrats on DD job! Joyce.......pt sux, but you gotta do it. Lori........Happy Anniversary! tomorrow Apples......Yay! for good weather! It is 80 and sunny here! We both can enjoy the day Cheri.......you are and awesome teacher. God Bless You! Eva......I know where you are coming from. Even though I am on this protein shake diet I really want to eat chocolate cookies. So, I still have a lot of work to do. I am definitely a carb addict. I is a one minute at a time for me. Janet, tomorrow is weigh in. If I develop your good habits from this plan I am on.... I will be blessed for life. Sorry if I missed ya, but I only read this page. I hope all of you have a great evening!

Your doing good! Keep it up!

AWESOME! Congrats on the weight loss! Not much to tell about me. I think I lost a lb so far this week. Great.....wow! a cruise........in my estimation that is the ultimate vacation.......and the price.......that is cheaper than a Cozumel cruise out of Galveston. Julie, I am so sorry that your pain has returned. Hugs and prayers for you today. Apples, glad you had a great time with DH. Sounds like a fun party. Wow, peach pie.....you made my mouth water.....memories......how they linger. lol Melissa........YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

WHOOHOO!!!!!!! I haven't been in a 8 since I was 18........Congrats!!!!!!!! Well, I am sick of this rain.....cloudy.....sun.....cloudy .....rain. My Fibro is kicking big time. Look out.....I think it is moving east. I will check in on Wednesday for my weigh day.......I hope everyone has a great week!

We order syrups. We also ordered a few pumps for the bottles.
