1day at a time

I think it is a wonderful thing that you are willing to take him so he does not go back to foster care. You are right he may need some therapy. i hope everything works out with this for you. I bet it was to cute buying your 5 your old a little glove. Janet - Happy Belated birthday.

Wow thanks Apples what a great memory. laura - How did Nels break his hand?

Hi all I am back, I had fun my band was tight though. I did buy the beck book looks good. I did not by the workbook though it looked the same. As for the my drinks I drink them all room temp now. Water and my protein drinks anything I bought off the shelf room temp I keep it that way.

Hi everyone I am back I had a great time in Ca. My band was tight for the 1st two days. I went to the sunset strip in Hollywood and saw the celebs going to the premiere of Mel Gibson's new movie. The only one that walked by me was Jay Sanders he is in the movie. Also there were so many pan handlers down there that was scary. Don't get me wrong we have some here but not that aggressive. Good thing we were in a large group. We also went to rodeo drive that is pretty. I had a couple of drinks but not really alot of bad food but had a hard time keeping up my water. We walked alot but time to get back to me. It will take me forever to read all the posts I hope everyone is well and look forwarded to meeting all of you in Feb. i can't wait. If something happen I need to be aware of if someone can tell me. Laura - How is your Dad?

I actually like Atkins mocha Latte better since it has coffee in it but I drink it room temp like they sell it i do not put it in the fridge Fly by post I am doing well my band seems much tighter now I am flying out today and a little nervous. I am doing well I hope everyone is doing well Sorry I have not much time to read posts Love you all I will chat when I get back next week.

Fly by post I am doing well my band seems much tighter now I am flying out today and a little nervous. I am doing well I hope everyone is doing well Sorry I have not much time to read posts Love you all I will chat when I get back next week. For those in Ca I will see you in Fl next month

What is Pro Joe is that short for something?

Thank you so much. kimaly - My band since I got my last fill has been really picky. Sometimes I am tight in the morning and sometimes at night. I do the soup at hand alot to at lunch. Right now I eat more of a "meal" at night. I do liquids and stuff during the day.

Eva, I am will be their Sunday afternoon to Friday morning. I am excited. Janet - You are right I will see you all in Feb. I can't wait. My only concerns is my band getting tight only because it is tight now and the people I am going with have no idea I have the band. Not that it is a bad thing but they want to party when we are not working so I am afraid of that being a problem being around all the food and drinks. I am excited but very nervous this is my first trip by myself (meaning without any family or close friends) just co-workers some are the people I will be working with in my new job and some are people i work with now.

I agree with you Charlene

Hi Guys, I have great news i just found out I got the promotion that I was going for yeah! Then we were talking salary and I got what I asked for double Yeah!! Then today I found out I am going to Los Angeles with 5 other people from work for a week triple Yeah !!! I am so excited I had to share. So anyone leave near LAX Maybe we can meet up? Hope everyone else is doing well.

I heard that movie is very funny but I have not seen it yet. Wait loss is going good since my last fill. Except had some major cake and margaritas this weekend so back on the wagon today. I am getting tint on my car for my birthday. I also got the new wii fit plus but have not used it yet.

Hey all - yes I had a wonderful Birthday. I am getting tint on my car as a gift and I also got the new Wii fit plus game. I have not got on it yet though. I had the first version and loved it . Meredith....praying for your friends Mom. Congrats on the the house

Ladies, Thank you so much for the wonderful Birthday Wishes. i am having a wonderful day. Love Ya all

Our Fla trip - My BF and I want to go to one them park while we are there I was think of going Friday maybe posting kids and other people will be at work or school so it might not be crowded. Anybody else want to join? I definitely can't wait to meet everyone and chit chat in person about everything.

My dr told me to eat between 800- 1000 cal a day while i am losing and to vary from day to day. And he only told me that after my one year follow up. But anyways i am in on the challenge. So I looked back at all the people that where on here in the beginning and I can't believe it is just us now. I wonder what happened to everyone

Octotillo - I am sure she will like you all we are pretty much alike I think that is why we have been friends for so long. Sharlene - Everyone is right you are doing awesome. All, I forgot to mention I have an interview for another position in my company tomorrow wish me luck. It will get off the phones so I do not have to watch how long I talk on the phone anymore and I can give real customer service. So basically out of the call center and on up in the company.

Phyllser i love the pic WOW and never really paid attn to how much weight you lost I just new it was a lot. All the newbies - Welcome and ask away any questions we are all here Apples, Janet and all the Fl trip peeps, - Okay I am coming but no longer with my mom. I am coming with my BF Theresa. She is coming to support me and also wants to go to a theme park one of the days. So i just want to let you know I am still coming and still with i other person and her and I can still share a room like I was going to do with my mom if needed so more people can come.

I was wondering why you changed your ticker the candy kicked my but too. So I am trying to regroup as well

This is a great post and so correct. The band is only part of it there is still work we need to do. And yes we can eat around the band but what was the purpose of doing our surgery's if we were not going to change. We are responsible for our choices not our bands. And like ivyrose325 said "This is a marathon and not a sprint !! "

janet - you are right about the gas. i usually fill up before i leave then went I get to this certain gas station on my trip i fill up again then i am nearly empty when i get to Kissimmee which is where i used to live. Driving this time with a v-6 might be a different story I checked prices for flying it is like $200 - $300 if i try to fly in when everyone else does so we can car pool. that limits doing price line unless i get a rental ocotillo - I love my car it is very comfortable I just have not taken it on a road trip yet. It is a 2002 so I have to get my mechanic to look at it before I go. I just get nervous having a used car because you never know what you really have. But carfax said there was no problem with the car when I bought it. Any my husband checked it out from front to back before we bought it.

Roughly 7 hours I have not done that in a long time but i should be able to do it. I was trying to see money wise if it would be more to drive or fly. Since I just had to buy another car now I have to be worried about how much I spend

Thanks I will call them I guess at this point I will need to go throught the weekend so I will take it easy with the food
