Candra, keep at it.. the .9 is nothing, that could be a glass of Water you drank today, or a bite of food, its honestly nothing. Probably sodium. We all watch the scale mess around, and i agree 1000000% its crap.. but it is what it is. Watch your clothes! Also id be jazzed with the waist because that is 1 more inch you don't have to worry about post op. This is how i look at my weight loss, i am sooo glad for the weight i lost during preop and im sure ALLLLL of us can agree, that it helped because it was just that much closer to goal. We all have been hitting plateus, and to be honest ive gone back to my sugar free crystal lite kinda stuff:D I do half water bottles and half that.. Please dont get discouraged, we all have this point, and you are going to be soo much better after. Just be sure to be journaling.. i honestly think me writing down and posting to the group is what is keeping me on track.. not only am i journaling again, im posting it for the world to see so i think about each damn bite lol.

BTW Auds is taking to her toddler bed very well, she grabbed her blankie earlier and wlaked me to her room got in her bed i tucked her in and she fell asleep! No tears nothin... im thinking she was ready???

Good Job Heather!!! I would do the tri girl thing but i cant.. i have a major fear of Water so swimming i am not good at.. If its 2-4 feet im good but anything more nah.. and my head cant go under if my feet arent touching.. Im pathetic:(

BTW question for those of us that did the 5 dpt and any other get back on track tests.. once you started eating normally again did you put back on any of that weight??? I did... It took me a week to get back down to 188.... Just wondering if its just me or if its normal...

So tina you dont wanna talk to me about thinning hair... i am 24 and they already say i have bad alopecia.. I use the Nioxin hair treatments, its pretty pricey but it keeps my scalp supposedly holding onto hair and since my hair loss has slowed since starting it i believe it.. i just wish i would get growth..... Im thinking of dieing my hair and perming, any of you know how to do it??? They say a perm slight wave adds a bounce and makes it look like more hair...... SOOO last night was auds first nite in her new bed... she did awesome. Woke when i went on my c25k at 9:30 and i guess she got out of bed and walked out with all her blankets lol. NO TEARS, normally we have tears in the mornings..I am so darn proud of her, i hope she stays good.... Ill post pics later on today when i find what i did withthe camera:D SO, since i wanna do the 5k this winter i started the couch to 5k.. i have 2 things to say.. 1. on the darn treadmill ican run for 10 min straight and im fine... on cement it doesnt work that way... lol 2. I am excited to finish it but im scared ill hurt my knee again..... What was cool is i finished mine and mikes normal 1.5 miles in 20 min so i kept going i did 2 miles in 30 min.. BUT i think i am over running or i have asthma.. my chest starts POUNDING soo hard it hurts... and i look at my heart monitor and it says 197 and up for my rate... that doesnt sound good to me what do you girls think? Oh im gonna pay for the 5k ill email you all the info when i do:D Im really excited about it..and my hubby and baby might do it with me:D And it would be nice if some of you wanna do it too!!! Ok happy forth everyone!

CHEEZE ITS!!!!! Gosh they are soooo good:D I opened the box gave auds 6 and closed it i was soo proud:D Off to bed have a nice nite! Good luck tomorrow!

Lol so i had my atm out and ready to buy the dvd, then mike looks over i have everything inputed and i hear "what are you buying now" lol needless to say i guess i have enough workout videos...:smile2: So i snacked tonight damn it! Atleast its only 50 cals that i snacked on.. but still! I made a quiche the one i mentioned earlier:D And well it looked so mighty tasty that i tried it. Oh well im still down for the day. :eek: Whats everyones plans for tomorrow? Oh btw we got her crib broken down:( and her tot bed put up... and she fell asleepon the couch.. like always:) and i put her in her new bed gave her her blankey she woke up i gave her a kiss and we left she was lookin around! Sooo cute, now she is dead asleep..

Well we figured out at about 6 why they didn't call us, its a holiday to them. They already dont work all day on fridays. So i kept my family down for why???:eek: I hope we hear something on monday, how long would you wait to call???? SOOO.. I didnt get a workout in today i spent 2 hours at walmart... Well i made a list and i stuck to it, so proud:D OK, so we got... a bed. Here is why mike told me that she was tryin to get out, and im the non believer well when i went in to get her i saw my darling child half way over her crib.. so then when i was at wally i was asking all the moms lol yes im social bumblebee sometimes.. and they all said around 19/20 months is when they transfered... They said yeah its hard emotionally and everything but its dangerous at a point, they said a lot of people just pull the side off her crib and put up the rail (we dont have that) so we got her this adorable lil bed ill take a picture when mikes done building it:D Its soo bittersweet i hate her growing up but i know that if i try to hold her down its not good either. So we shall see how this works out. Well what else, i bought all 4 flavors of laughing cow cheese lol i love that stuff... oh and i bought...... Cheeze its................ i am testing myself! We shall see how i can do. Tina i told ya girl you were in 16s!!!! Remember the pants at the meeting?? When are you girls gonna believe me:D:D I gotta cuddle someone till shes ready for bed.... ttys

B: 1 egg and 1 laughing cow cheese 105cal L: 2/3 c chili lots of meat and beans yum 200 cal D: 1 king crab leg, 4.5 shrimp, 2 sm brussel sprouts 2 tbsp macaroni salad yay no snacking yet! Oh my dinner was soo yummy! yummmmmmmy:D Im so lame. AND i am gonna work my butt off for NO snacking tonight!

Riley i would have to agree, i am feeling more and more of the band at work, today I havent felt hungry or anything all day. Pretty nice. And i had lunch at 1:30 and forgot that my family needs to eat and its going on 7!!! I hope this stays!!! I even made a shopping list, and its NORMAL! lol. funny how on it i have things like Extra firm tofu (yeah im makin him try it...) and shrimp and cans of tuna and ham to keep me stocked lol... laughing cow cheese! egg beaters.. OHHH i have a grand idea! Get the southwestern egg beaters mushrooms and cheese a pie shell and thats it. Make a quiche with that! It will be like 200 cals per serving i cant wait to try it! After we eat dinner ill do my check in:D But congrats on the pants told ya youd fit in 12s:D Right now im making bread... gonna try making it for my family instead of buying maybe it will be better for them?? ALSO im gonna try making butter. I found a recipe and its way less calories then store bought! Not sure how that happens.. any ideas???

You go girl! BTW has anyone been drinking crystal lite again?? I started......

Thanks i think she cute also :eek: Im not sure if she would, she once slept with us on an airbed camping and slept all nite long with no moving around... Its so hard to make this choice cause if she stands up the bar comes to about 3 inches above her belly botton right below her chest... So if she wanted out she could... I just am so new to this,, i dont wanna put her in a tot bed if its too early but it would be nice to give her some independence and not need me to wake her up when i want her to lol.

Oh my gosh i finally figured it out!

Oh yeah and tina, the friends were not girls.. and he was ok with it! I think he worried but there was no fight he told me to have fun, and he just waited till i got home to make sure i was ok, he didnt call or text the whole time either! It made me feel very good!

Ok there are two pictures of my darling, the second one is her stretched out.. do you think shes a bit big for her crib??? The first one is just her waking up, yeah at 11AM! I woke her up lol. Mean mommy i am. SO what do you all think of her size is she ready for a big girl bed:frown: Yay i finally figured it out lol

Jess: i am sure you are going to do great:D Just eat your chicken salad, what i found i had to do to not eat the crap at bbqs is stay away from it. I know my issue was the snacking before the dinner lol.. well just go do something else, i know easier said then done, but seriously eat bfast or something right before and then go play with your kid (if you got one?????) or sit and talk with fam.. Keep telling yourself the 1000 cal snack will be sitting there still at dinner time.. so then you can have it then... (you wont eat as much)

Candra, you go girl take all the Excedrin you need! I totally understand! You aren't banded yet so you are good, even after banded if this happens, oh well get the gell caps and take them, its better to take a stupid gell that wont stay in your lil stomach then be miserable for a couple days! Also the grilled chicken from KFC is soooooooo low in cals its amazing.:eek: Tina: i think the stalkers are us.. i know each day i view our thread several times... now look how LONG ago we started the thread.. 6 or 7 months... Of course strangers look for guidance but when they see our gibberish i think they would get bored:D Reggie, why dont you start posting your food menu for the day like the rest of us, then you will find youself journaling and NOT even realizing it:D I like it cause it also gives me food ideas! But it also shows me i need more fluid cause i can eat more then everyone:( Chris and Candra glad you girls had fun. I miss playdates too bad you all live so far. Audrey is going on 19 months with no friends i feel hoooorible. But mike says its not my fault we moved to a boring town with no moms lol. Tamra: I hope your feeling better!!!! Donna your such a lil planner:D Just like me:D It gets me in trouble, like right now im sitting here on LBT and on oodle looking for apartments.. Seeing how much i need to save as fast as possible:D Lookin like ouch 3k. We have that in our savings... but should i really yank it out, i like having a growing savings:( NOW Elie could call any moment (hint to the spirits around me to tell him to call sooner then later) and i hope its SOON cause im getting sick of this waiting game. Don't these employers realize we aren't living our life.. we are sitting around waiting and waiting. Update on us btw mike is doing a lot better, his jealousy has calmed he even let me go out with friends to get this a club! I got to get my groove on something i havent done in oh 3 yrs, id have to say its much harder in slacks and a tshirt lol. But its no longer as fun as it used to be, i like to just watch the people:) He is now walking with me again every nite.:smile2: And getting better about shutting his trap on what i make! Also while i was gone with my friends i came home to a spotless house.. i guess you dont realize what they do for you when your constanlty irritated... Audrey is STILL asleep and its 11am, i think i should wake the butt.. what would cause her to sleep soooooooooooo long??? any ideas? Yesterday i was relieved, now im worried.. we are goin shoppin for a tot bed here eventually:( Ok well lift up your jellos and water:) "here is to a day of lots of water, good food choices, no snacking, and fun excersize in 100 deg heat lol"

Yup that is exactly it.. Im really anxious i wish Elie would just give mike the offer alredy what the heck makes this take sooooo long??

You go tina! I am so glad you won and i doubt your boss will let go of her shooting star:D
