I think that's pretty good for being out of town, It could have been worse. I know when we go out of town it's really hard because you tend to eat things you wouldn't make for yourself at home. I'll bet next week will be better now that your home. And Florida how wonderful, Hope you have a great time.

I thought it might be, But there's only a couple of places around here that do it so I guess thats why. Also the place has a good rep so I guess they can get away with it.

UMmmm Cake, Sorry I couldn't resist.

Go ahead and weigh, I have faith in you.

I live in Virginia and I checked the prices around here and the average seems to be $450.00 for upper and lower lids and $450.00 for the lips. I don't know if thats high or low because I have nothing to compare it too.

First off congrats on getting back on the wagon! Now, I'm sorry I have no advice about the makeup but I really hope people respond to your question because I am also wanting this and would love to hear the feedback. I wear more then just eyeliner but it's the one thing I cannot go without. I just feel blah and as my grandbabie would say "I'm nakie" without it.

I would take your boss to the side and tell him or her what's going on and explain to him or her that it's a private matter and you insist on keeping it between just the two of you. I don't know the people you work for but my husband and I have a small company and we would have no problem keeping it private. Or you could always use the old fall back if your boss is male you could tell him it's female issues and it's not a big deal but you would rather not go into detail. Anyhow good luck on whatever you decide. And just for the record I'm very open about my band and don't really care what people think about it. This is my life and it's for me not them.

Mine have a clip on thing that holds the remote or you can take it off and use them without the remote. I only paid $10.00 for them. I found them at Big Lots(a closeout store) I'm really trying to stay with it this time, I have a bad habit of starting and not following thru with the exercise. I was kinda mad at that Wii, When I made my Avitar they made her fat as soon as I got on the scale. Too funny, hope I can get her smaller soon. It also said I should try to get down to 132lbs, I'm not even trying to hear that, I just lowered my goal weight to 150lbs and I think I'll be fine with that. It will put me at a normal BMI and if it ever happens, No more complaining about my weight I will just work on maintaining.

I do this, I am in a size 10 and my short term goal is one more size down, A 9. Single digit for the first time in 25yrs. I already have the jeans, I bought them on an after Christmas sell and am hoping to get in them soon.

I also had my band in Mexico, It went great. But as the above post said have your follow up care set up ahead of time. I live in Virginia and can't find a single Doctor that will take me. I was lucky enough to have a fill center USA within an hour from my house, They take pretty good care of me. I had it set up with them before I had my surgery and they checked on me from the minute I got home until my first appointment and still check on me monthly. Just do your research and homework, Know all you can ahead of time. If your well informed all should go well. Good luck!

LOL, I guess my age is showing also because I didn't catch that until your next post. Do you have the weights that velcro around your ankles or wrist? That's the type I have and I use them on the Wii fit plus with the step exercise on my wrist and the running in place on my ankles.

No bread for me, crackers are fine. I stay away from celery, rice of any kind, corn, and dry meats. Also pizza of any type. I can't even go flat bread or wraps. So be it, Most of those aren't good for you anyway.

My Tuesday weigh in and nothing to report. Yep that's right no movement. Bright side is no gain. Guess I better step it back up.

My weight came off my hips, thighs,and face first. Then the waist started to follow. I've never had a defind waistline. My waist and hips are about the same size. I wear a 9/10 pants but I have to buy lowrise or midrise or they will be way too big in the butt and hips. Sometimes I guess that's just what happens. I was so depressed when Tim Gunn said no women over 40 should be caught dead in lowrise jeans. I can't help it it's just what fits and at least I don't have the mushroom cap hanging over. So I'll keep my low and midrise as long as they keep making um.

They sound good, I'm only ordering a half order because they seem a little pricey and I want to make sure I like them first. Another fav of mine is Mandarin orange segments in pear juice. 1/3 less calories then the ones in lite syrup. 60 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholest., 14g carbs, 1g Protein per 1/2 cup.

Congrats on the great job, You look great.:smile2:

My Tuesday weigh in 1 more pound.

Thank You, and I intend on it.

True that!!!

Have a safe and wonderful trip.

I think the atkins are my favorite, The Eas aren't bad eather. They both come in many flavors and don't seem to have that funky arter taste, The Pro joe does have the after taste. I also drink them at room temp. I even drink my water like that, It just seems to go down better. Thanks for the birthday wishes and speaking of birthdays, why is it everyone keeps offering to take you out to lunch or dinner and they know your banded? it just goes to show you how much of our socializing is based on food. Not that I mind going out to eat but I'd just rather go with the DH(no comments on the amount of food I eat)Last year one of my friends took me out for lunch and for weeks after every time we were at a gathering I had to listen to her tell everyone how taking me out was a waste of money because I don't eat hardly anything(not true,I just have leftovers)She asked this year and I just told her to save her money because I didn't want to be the one to waste it. I know it sounds a little rude but it's just how I feel.

That's what I did. I'm a coffee nut, Even my protein drinks are coffee flavored. I don't even notice the lack of caffeine anymore.

I dropped my weightloss goal by 5 more pounds, I really hate watch the amount I need to lose go up on my ticker. But this is twice now I've done that. It's kinda weird that when your bigger you say If I could just get to 160 I'ld be happy, Then your almost there and you realize you still need to lose more to get to a healthy BMI and look they way you want too.
