Yippeeeee!!! Those are really really really great NSVs!!! ....and congrats on your quick comeback!

duh!! I meant to say Vaughan...not Newmarket!

Argon...I'm sure I can get you one from TLBC if required!!! Neenagh: don't forget the almond extract too!!! That was one of the best ones!!!! *waves at everyone*....glad to see so many new people here!

because Mr. Loriely was complainin'....spit the watermelon seeds at the back of his neck and see if they stick!! LOL

I think we all go thru these phases, Loriely. I'm in one right now too. So much for my "no chips" for Aug. *sigh* Do pringles count as chips? (I know they do...just hopin'!!). I got so discouraged about regaining those 3 lbs last week, despite having worked out 6 times (90 mins each time!) and eating well....that I said "screw it" and had pringles. WTF is wrong with me??!! LOL.... I'll tell ya what...I"ll kick ya in the arse if you do the same for me!! Aim high!! LOL.... psssst Loriely: you want to get motivated and lose some more and get a good head start on Mr. Loriely...you know how men are...he'll catch up to you in no time flat!!!!! THAT should be motivating!!

Neenagh: you poor woman you!!! My chef husband did some WONDERFUL things with my Optifast when I did that program a few years ago. Extracts is key and hugely improves the flavour and plus makes you feel like you are having something "different" when in reality is the same ol' same ol'. He would use the following extracts (sometimes mix and match): vanilla, peppermint, butterscotch, orange, lemon, bananna...etc. Put in about 1 tsp to 1 tbsp (or more...depending on how strong you want the flavour) and then mix it all up....YUUUUUMY!!!! You are allowed extracts! Give it a whirl and experiment!!! Get your butt down to the baking aisle and buy them bottles!!!

Kim...but how do you know what Ikea she was at??? There are 2 in TO and one in Newmarket (tho I doubt she was in Newmarket!).

*ROTFLMAO* Now, THAT is freakin' HILARIOUS!

MANDI!!! Did you hear that? That is kewl WoodyS about your GP doing the fills.....and Buffie's has no problem either. Time to get yourself a GP Mandi and forget this other doc guy that has no sensitivity!!!

LOL@ Neenagh!!! that's funny. I have the opposite problem...I have a comp at work but this site is firewalled out!!! Hey...do you not mix in flavoured extracts with your Optifast??!!! That makes a whole world of difference!

Glad it went well Mandi and that made it home safely!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean....when I got my last fill....I did the same thing (& still do to some extent)...I stop because I figure I've eaten enough and I don't want to get stuck....I don't think I"m stopping necessarily because "I'm full". But, whatever works I guess!!! I've gotten less conscious about it as I know I'm eating more than I did the first few weeks after my last fill....that will hopefully change after the 25th (next fill). I hope this one does the trick for you!!!! At least Dan's Cookies are safe now!!!! LMAO :eek:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been BLINDED!!! :eek: :eek:

Hey everyone.....how are my fave Canuks doin' on the Canadian August challenge???

'Scuse me Cloe....you mean my BABY knife and fork!! actually, hubby doesn't trust me with a knife!!! LOL

These are all so kewl....!!! Keep 'em comin'!

Yeeesh...can't take her anywhere *rolls eyes*....*hands Kat a drool bib*

Yup, I think you will be fine for your trip to Mexico....altho I agree with what some others have said...don't get a fill before you go; get it when you return! Congrats!

Hey Eva....u should consider changing your avatar to that beeeeeeeeeooooootiful pic you have of yourself!!!!

ahhhh, we are such a diverse bunch, aren't we? LOL

LOL I feel your pain!! We've been lucky (?) at work lately....we can't have stuff lying around becaues we are having a mouse problem!!! Hmmmm donuts or mice....hmmmmm....

LOL I do stuff too ya know!! In fact, this morning I put a roast and all the trimmin's in a crock pot and we just finished having that!! Yummm...ooooo so tender!! I'll admit though, he normally does the cookin'....hey,he likes to so who am I to stop him and his creativity!! LOL

MMMMWWWAAAAAA.....we have you fooled!!! ahahahahaha!!!! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

YUP....it is crystal light for me (basically the same as flavoured water!!). I'll also squeeze some lemon into regular Water and it is just as good. Here (Canada) not only do they charge extra for the "flavoured" water (as opposed to the non-flavoured)...they also charge tax on it (whereas they don't on the non-flavoured). I also still drink my caffeine free diet pepsi....no probs! Of course, I don't drink as much as I used to...but when I do, I have no gassy probs!

Susan: soooo happy (& relieved) to find out that your port revision went well!!! Yayyyy!!!!

Garlic, basil, garlic, oregano, garlic, salt, garlic, pepper, garlic, and Italiano...oh yeah...and more garlic!!!
