Desperate1

Yeah!!!! so excited for Saturday.... John - we haven't heard from you - you and/or you wife game?? JES - I have a fabulous red velvet cake recipe I'll copy for you - It got RAVE reviews at the engagemet party - I was shocked cuz I'm really not a baker. Ya'll better post what you're bringing on Saturday for lunch cuz If your lunch is better than mine I just might steal it LOL. I'm watching Dr. Oz and he said that if we are craving salty food it's because we are dehydrated - don't eat the salt - drink water. Our body only has 4 cravings - water, food, sex & sleep - our bodies will not let us silence the cravings until we give it what it wants but we need to learn how to read the signals correctly - example: if we don't get enough sleep and/or we are tired our bodies will crave carbs - DON'T FEED IT CARBS - TAKE A NAP. (easier said than done, right?) Darn it - my sometimers is kickin in - can't remember everything he said - grrr!

Chime in peeps - let's get this scheduled!

John - I just may need that direct line LOL We can do a huge salad and everybody can bring 1 ingredient - like lettuce, cucumbers - dressing.... chicken... blah blah blah - doesn't get much cheeper than that! or we can all just brown bag it.

Got my big ass jug of water out! I haven't had one of them in over a week. I know that's why I've been F*#@ing up so much lately! It's my crutch

Maria - i'm told it's ok - everybody's body is different LOL John - DO NOT CANCEL THAT APPT! I missed mine and still can't get another one - If I recall correctly, we have the same Doc and I think he's just a little lax-i-daisey and forgetful. He has forgotten to do what he tells me he was going to do. I'd go straight to Sarah or liz after you meet with The Doc and schedule your surgery date right then and there! Can't wait to hear how it goes on Monday so post all the juicy details.

Thanks girl!

Hi all, Donna - I'm so down for Saturday - I think we should meet at 11 at the waterfront so the gals that have afternoon plans already can still do both! Maybe we can picnic - bring food since we are all strapped for cash??? Riley, Jane - Bandster chips sound great - question: is there any kind of tofu that is better than others? never bought it before. So, about the feelings/relationship crap - all I can say is hang in there and it will all work itself out! Candy - so friggin glad to hear from you! THe holidays have been tough for all of us but they are as good as gone now and we can all jump back on the band-wagon! Tamra - as you saw on FB I'm detoxing today once and for all - I'm gonna hafta just fast for a couple of days - I do fine when I don't eat at all - It's just that once I take the first bite my mouth won't stop LOL Lee - you're doing so good - how do you do it during such tempting times??????? Jes - your slumber party sounds like it was a blast! Oh to have been a fly on the wall that night LOL Captain MO - am i finally gonna get to meet you in person - I can't wait! Maria - so funny to hear you say you feel like you have something in your throat - I feel like that almost every morning when I first wake up since I've had the band. It goes away after I start moving around but it's there - also, when I eat too much in 1 sitting - my right ear hurts - so weird - different than an earache feeling just feels like something is tugging from inside - I know it doesn't make sense but it's true ! So wish I had an IV that i can just plug in so I never have to take that first bite again - it's a killer for me hahaha. Nicolie - so sorry i've been missing your txts - my phone has been trippin - just turns off all on it's own so I "reset" it - took out the battery & sim card for a bit then put it back together - so far so good - we shall see! So happy to get to hang with you Saturday!

Go Pat! You can do it - you have now inspired me to get on my game face and go! Exercise is the key!!

Good day all... I have been so bad since christmas eve! I'm too scared to step on the scale and was too ashamed to log on. I've had cookies & candy - popcorn! but even worse was the mashed potatoes & Mac & cheese - Once I start on the comfort foods it is so so so friggin hard to get off of em! TODAY I am back on track for sure! Pammie - sounds like homeboy is smitten with you already LOL. The more you resist the harder he will try - sad but true - men are weird. My only advice is to stick to your guns and do what feels right and comfortable for you and only you! Also - stick to publlic places, please! I have been depressed a little bit too - upset with myself and our financial situation isn't what it use to be! Tamra - I'm with you on the new band wagon - Jes - did you find somebody to swing back around for us yet? How'd that cake turn out?? Riley - I am so happy for you and your new life! what movie did you see? I really want to see sherlock holmes! Monique - I'm down for a get together! Donna - love you woman! glad you're having a great holiday season. Nicolie - I think we are doing the same for new years - maybe we should all get together for a new years party - who has a big house?? Heather - 2009 WAS a good year for you but I have a feeling that you will own 2010! Love your spirit! Sweet T - how could anybody think you're a snob? What is the peter pan thing you mentioned ? Hey John - good to hear from you - hope your holidays season hasn't been as plentiful as mine LOL - CARBS UGH!!!!!! Lee - sounds like you are doing so well - good for you!!

morning all - merry x-mas eve tamra, I too am all about quantity - I need to get my ass in to get a fill but I'm afraid LOL - I'm only down 15lbs in 3 months! I suck hahahaha Riley - I got it from a realtor I know - I'll get you a copy - only thing is is that it's a Marin County event calendar so... Going to have dinner at my stepdaughters tonight - her first function in her first apartment - she's finally an adult at 21. Worried though as she is a pastry chef and I want it all! Pray for me ladies Lee - hope your son makes it in one piece!

Hey Hey - I just received a super cool 2010 calendar of events: Marin Moonshiners Hike Hike.meetup.com/464 Also single ladies there is a spirit rock singles event too sprirtrock.org Any swingers among us?? LOL Strawberry swingers dance Strawberry.marin.org February is crabfeed & March is Brewfest OOh and Next September is the Sausalito chili cook off & brew tasting - I'm so there! Any takers....

I'm losing my fear of mirrors - although I don't completely love what I see yet - I know the day is coming! I no longer look away from them!

Tam - I have AT&T and I hate it! There is something about working out in my living room that I just can't do - I feel silly, somebody is always in there and there is very little room - I'm trying to find some type of class in Vallejo - 24hr fitness sucks in that dept! Monique - I will call Kaiser - I can't do it right now, where I'm at, but as soon as I get home I will. I really wanted to see the princess & the frog but we saw Avatar instead - Imax 3D - I was fantastic! I want to move to that fantasy land they were in - so colorful & beautiful and they were al Al Fresco! woo hoo - my kinda place! Oh, and yes, My husband got the popcorn and I ate some - last night was rough!

Morning Nicolie - I see that you and I are the only ones on right now. I wish my battery would go low on my scale or conk out! I'm not eating anything but I'm not losing any weight. I need to listen to Jes and get back on my mini meal plan. Good Job at at the potuck! Tamra - keep at it girl you're almost there! You & Nicolie just may be banded at the same time!!!!!!!! Ok, ladies - I can't find my exercise nitch. I've been power walking with the hubby in the A.M. but it's not doing anything for me - haven't found anything else I can "tolerate" yet LOL. Will keep looking though

Glad you liked the cat Riley - so sorry bout #1, I mean #0 - how disappointing but i think the former #2, now known as #1 put a hex on it. have a good night and don't let the bed bugs bite LMFAO! Monique - how did you get the apt with Doc Who? I was told there was nothing available - guess I need to call back in the a.m. Heather - love that the best part of the trip was the plane seat belt - hahaha Lee - you're a cougar - woo hoo! I think I would be too if I was single Ok, so like, 3 of you have less than 10lbs to go - is that right? I've been watching Robin Williams, at home ALONE and I just actually laughed OUT LOUD uncontrolably - he was talking about the stupid crap alcoholics say when they think they're cool - RE: pick up line: "are your parents retarded cause you sure are special" OMG, no he didn't!

Woo Hoo Tamra! excellent resistance muscles! Lee, all's well that ends well - you are forgiven so jump back kon the wagon right now! Pat - way to handle those parties! HEATHER - WELCOME HOME!!!!! PHOTO'S & DETAILS HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!! LOL

Hi Donna - where have you been YOUNG lady?? Love NSV story!!

Maria - you are doing GREAT! Salad is a waste of space! You don't have alot of room in your little tummy and lettuce has zero nutritional value - Take is slow and easy at the Gym! Tamra - What a relief to have your shopping done, isn't it? Congratulations and I will let you tell everybody else why I'm saying that LOL Pammie - Riley didn't come up for me either - I had to go page by page thru the 406 Jane Rileys that came up - hahaha but if she has confirmed me as a friend now you can find her on my friends list. Ash - jump back on the wagon - you can do it! Nicolie - hiya! To get rid of that infection you need to snort warm sea salt water - I'm tellin ya, anti biotics don't work for me anymore for my sinus infections and that's how I have to get rid of them! Takes about 3 days!! Congrats - Bea! You are doing awsome - 21lbs is fantastic! Capt'n Mo - I got the exact same response from Doc Who as well. NO fill yet! Hang in there though, good things come to those who wait!!!!!! Jes - I can do Saturday and/or Tuesday! Riley Jane - good morning young lady - just because Jes & I are married doesn't mean we can't go out and kick it! We can still look and have a good time, can't we? I will worn you up front - I can get off the hook when I'm finally let out the house LMAO

Oh, and I had an americano for b-fast and I'm making some edemame (sp?) for lunch! Trying to eat more and get back on my schedule! Gotta grocery shop after lunch so I can prepare better

Atta girl, Jes - I haven't done anything for X-mas this year - like i said - it's cancelled! so what i get for christmas is no stress LOL

I found you on FB Jane! I sent you a friend request. Once you are added onto my page you can go thru my friends list and find evererybody on here - did I mention how much I love you in that gold dress :thumbup:

Morning ladies, Riley - welcome to my popcorn world. I was telling Nicolie yesterday that while my husband is getting better at the movies we went to target the other day and the first thing he did was get popcorn! Alot easier to resist at target then the movies though. Lee - prayers for your son! Tamra - proud of you girl! stick to the grilled chicken] Jes - you're right - i need to get back to my mini meals - just so so so much easier not to eat at all LOL. I'm gonna call Bev again on Tuesday and see if there are any openings for Doc Fisher (Who-lol) yet. Nicolie says he looks like a "Who" from the grinch ah-hahahahaha
