Hey Denise, at least your still in the 220's!!!!! You'll be in the 210's before you know it!

GOOD MORNING Violets!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in Omaha over the weekend.......... and I am so proud of myself I held on to my senses and stayed on plan and managed to hold the 230's!!! I've had a crappy morning (backed my truck into a mailbox and broke a tailight).......... but I'm ok and the mail box is fixable. Welcome to all the new posters! Time to start on my water!

popping in to check on everyone! YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT! (I hit the 230's this morning.. Ya Me!) TGIF

I finally saw a new low this week, but I admit I've been sticking to the bandster rules very well!

I can't even do the EGG part of a mcmuffin... something about those preformed eggs get me every time! Glad your feeling better

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your journey is just beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the other side

Good luck!

Yes, Haydee... eat something for breakfast! (today I had cottage cheese at my desk, but other days this week I've had a sbd protien bar) Thanks everyone for the congrats! Now to hold it over the weekend and dbf coming back home......... BUT we are going to a wedding next weekend and it is smack dab in the center of his old stomping grounds and I will have LOTS of judgmental eyes upon me........... SO.. that my dear violet sistahs is my motivation for next week.....

Sara!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs!

GREAT NSV TERRY!!!

GUESS WHAT? 239 lbs :eyebrows:

Denise: we were posting at the same time............ What I meant to get accross on the online dating thing is that I was in 16 or 18's when I went on my first online date I was not a skinny size 12... so don't feel you need to wait on your WEIGHT ... get out and live life NOW! ENJOY IT..... GO FOR IT...... its all about the attitude ok.......... going to bed now

Denise: WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO 227! way to go girl. Pamela: Where the hell are you?????????????????? OK going to bed................. praying for 239.5......... please please please... stay tuned

I did eharmony and yes I did meet several guys that I had a lot in common with.. it was weird though because each of them had different things in common with me and were all different.... I emailed and talked on the phone and 3 I actually went out with.... I gave them all nicknames.... one was a lawyer, one was a massage therapist, one was a cowboy....... lawyer and I just didn't have chemistry.. 3 boring strikes.. (I kept HOPING.. I mean he was a LAWYER opening his own practice, but sadly no..... ) Massage therepist, he was a nice guy and WOWWWWWWWWWWWW what a Valentines as he was the most romantic...... he started just showing up uninvited and that was a big no no, as I did not let ANYONE meet my son..... and in the process I was falling for the cowboy....... I nicknamed him chickenglenn because he ran.... and thank god he did, because he would of turned out to be a hardheaded pain in the ass... he actually asked me to wait until his contract was done and then .... wth..... that one kind of hurt a bit... a beautiful cowboy (I was at my thinnest too) He actually contacted me to tell me he came back and by that time I was dating dbf.. who by the way I met on Yahoo and is by far THE most compatible... but the other yaahooo on yahoo gave my computer a virus from us getting into an Instant messenger argument... (he was a computer guy for sprint and his job was testing firewalls) NOTE TO SELF DON'T PISS OFF A DIVORCED COMPUTER EXPERT! LOL...... Overall my year of online dating was a fun one.......... and it is important to note that when I started my year plus of dating I was around 230 and I had FUN! GO FOR IT.......... BUT JUST BE CAREFUL.... create a fake email and never give out a house phone... use a cell that can't be traced and can be easily changed.....

Olga: OMG WOMAN you hit ONEderland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

I wonder why the crystal light slurpees are so much higher than regular crystal light

personally I stayed away from taters, a lot of people make a mixture of refried Beans, cheese and salsa. or a good one I heard about was kind of a lasagna mixture... ricotta, sauce and cheese baked cottage cheese loosely scrambled eggs (left very moist) anything put in a blender Protein shake blended with ice GOOD LUCK

I am down a total of 31 since I started my pre-op on 4/1/2007...... I daydreamed about being close to ONEderland by Labor Day but my backsliding while not filled really took that away. JulieNYC is the person giving the detail about surgery SHE IS AWESOME she is like Kat and an April06'r who tend to be our mentors.... Julie gives me real hope that I can actually get down to goal. She is lucky to have a father who is a plastic surgeon.... although he had to look at her adult fanny YIKES! I am so ready to get out of here...........

Haydee: since surgery I've only lost around 13 lbs but I was not working the band like I should have.... but I am now. I did not mow last night.. I'm saving that joy for tonight.. and I WILL be counting it as a workout..... I'm game for a weekend at a hotel with pool and hot tub.... so far I have two big vacations set for 2008.......... Sturgis and Daytona bike weeks each at a weeklong and cross country..... I MIGHT be able to do a 3 day cruise out of Gavelston on Carnival ...... Terri would you look into it if you ge a chance? I may have 3 other girlfriends who will want to go too. (they've been screaming for a girls trip for a long time) I've been looking at tankini swim suits with underwires in them but I don't know what size I should buy for next summer... they are all on sale right now.............. A tankini top and swim shorts is my norm

good morning! Michelle.. . you crack me up with the wonderment of early morning risers! My 3 year old decided to jump into my bed this morning at 5:00 a.m. so I let him snuggle a bit and then when he fell back asleep I got up and started my coffee. I took some near nekid pics last night ... bra and undies for my eyes only to see the differences along the way........... My scale teetered on 240 but settled on 240.4 this morning........ PLEASE SEND UP A PRAYER FOR ME THAT TOMORROW I ENTER THE 230's! I will be in Omaha Saturday and won't be able to weigh til Monday.... I really need to be in the 230's so that I hold my resolve over the weekend with the boys in a hotel.............. Last summer I had gotten myself down to 235.5 so beating that will be my next focus. time to fill my water...... back later
