Morning all, Tina - TOM for me starting today too...eeeek!! Glad I am not doing a weight check until next week, I can look down and see how bloated I am! Doing well today, I have added fiber sup. into my diet because TMI I was not going very often. Drank some last night and man, prob lost 2 lbs...LOL gross :rolleyes2:

yes please post meals!! it helps me stay on track, so I started re-doing it. whats this whole diet cranberry I keep seeing being mentioned?

Hi all, back from Brentwood, here is my meals for today: Breakfast - Venti Skinny Latte Lunch - Venti Skinny Latte...LOL Dinner - (didn't measure) but a plate of lettace with maybe 5-6 oz of hamburger meat cooked with onions, shreaded cheese, and 3 tablespoons sour cream. 1 diet A&W rootbeer. only 23 oz of water so far, but did good yesterday with approx 60 oz.

I say bring on the rain!!! sorry Pam :scared2:

Morning everyone!! I am on day 2 of 1200 cal....gonna grab a coffee on my way to see my bestfriend in Brentwood, she had a baby on Saturday. Riley - I usually do a quick weight check at either Pinole, or Martinez, which ever I am closest to at the time.

Thanks!! back on track for sure today :scared2: I am not going to kaiser until next weds for a weight check, and I had my ex hide my scale. I don't want to know ANYTHING till next week :thumbup: makes it kinda fun! Long as I am less then the 266 I was last week that is...lol... Still looking at getting banded hopefully Feb/March!

I am here!! Just ate dinner.... so reposting for my thoughts: Breakfast - 1 Atkins Shake Lunch - lettace with one can tuna (lemon and olive oil) Snack - 1 Grande Skinny latte Dinner - 5 mini burgers with onions, mustard, and 2 slices red fat cheese. approx 1 cup cabbage. My ex got me a small bag of pork rinds and I ate those too...sheesh! Overall, compared to what I have been eating lately, this is so much better.

helloooo!!! Quiet around here eh? Well, day 1 back on the 1200 cal diet! Breakfast - 1 atkins shake lunch - lettace w. 1 can of tuna and lemon and olive oil dressing snack - 1 grande skinny vanilla latte dinner - will be a few mini burgers, I am gonna do maybe 5 oz and some cheese/mustard on them. Also, working on my 64 oz water!

Just stopping by to say hello! Didnt start today go figure. I find its really hard when I don't have the foods I need!! so DUH Tamra. I went and got the foods, water, etc...jeez...kinda would help there :thumbup: Gonna check my weight in the morning, I know for a fact I have gained so I won't log it, but it's better this way to check, or I wont see what I have done to myself....

Hi all, No comment on me starting the 1200 cal today. LOL I seriously give uppppppppp! no i dont...day 1 again tomorrow :thumbup:

Good morning everyone!! Thanks for all the positive feelings on me staying! I sat and had a quick drink last night with my old bestfriend from middle school. Her, her mom, and dad all had the RNY (well dad had lapband). She actually is the reason I went and found out about this. Anyways, she had Dr Park and she had to loose 30 before; She said it took her 9 months. So maybe I am not the only one who will take time. She looks SO GOOD too!! so skinny!! I will start writing down everything I eat and I have some motivation signs around my house. Today is a new day and I will continue to try!!!!

Hi everyone!! I am still here, but I just cant get my eating under control. I am now questioning if the lapband is for even for me. I am going to try ONE MORE TIME tomorrow to eat well, and get on track, but if I can't, I think I need to pull out the plug :w00t: Wont Kaiser question why it's taken me since July to hit goal in the first place? Tina - Thank you sooo much for the offer!! I don't think I will be close to your city any time soon tho, and the only meeting I am attending is the next Richmond one which is the 16th I think...if we cant meet up, give them to Pam since she is struggling too :tongue2: My daughter is only 3, so she doesn't know yet the struggle :thumbup:

Monique - it's okay, I am super busy this weekend :wink2: but I will be at the 16th meeting if you go!

Candra ~ Girl I didn't know you lost your job? What happened? Unemployment is HORRIBLE, the wait was so long, but I finally got some checks this week and the back pay was enough to pay everyone I owed. Horrible. Xmas is canceled here too, trust me. I got my daughter maybe 6 things, and I told everyone else I am sorry but I can't this year. Thank god my Kaiser cobra is only $134/mo. Have you gotten on that yet to keep insurance?

Hi everyone!!! back from Tahoe and sitting here now, enjoying my birthday. Today flew by, and I can't believe I am 27 today!! As for eating, lets not touch that :X sorry Candra!! but I am back on track tomorrow!!!!!!!!! for SURE!! this is the last slip up, I have to do this!! I cant quit yet...I have been close, but I wont!!! Hope you all are having a good week!!

yes Candra, no cake :tongue2: LOL

I have no clue! according to Kasier the stimlus plan that is saving people a % is gone after 12/31/2009, because Obama has not passed another one. So there's cobra, just not at the discounted price :tongue2: that's how she was coming up with $417 for me.

Hi everyone!! Been a long day; My old job tried to email and tell me as of Dec 31 there is no cobra coverage and I would have to pay $417. I flipped out!! I called Kaiser asap, and they were telling me since I lost my job between Sept - Dec, I will have it 9 months. I told my old job this and they tried to argue. I was about to give up on Kaiser, my band, everything but I called Kaiser one more time, and they told me I should be fine - I called my old job AGAIN this time providing the member services persons name and number....needless to say an email came 20 mins later telling me I was fine for 9 months at my cobra price...SHEESH!! Heather, congrads on the possible weight change! Day 2 of the fat fast and moving along well! I will do a weight check on Tuesday. Going to Tahoe tomorrow, since my bday is Thursday. I am looking forward to getting away!!! :smile:

Candra its cause I hate mayo LOL so I'm grossed out by the smell. Ill add some mustard

I have drank almost 100 oz water today lol candra girl the turkey mayo looks gross lol I have ate all bacon today :x

Day one of my fat fast...had bacon for breakfast...lol.... Candra I didn't have time to grab coffee and when I got home I was STARVING!! So I made the bacon. Going to do tuna w. mayo in a while for my 2nd meal. That good? I cannot believe I am up 10 lbs from Sept. Man! I was rockin' back then. I guess I will keep on truckin'!!

Back from my weight check......266.9 I have gained approx 10 lbs from sept to now.....crappy

Hi everyone!! Heather - let us know what Dr. Fischer says. I asked Dr. Baggs to do the same and he ignored me. *shrugs* I haven't ate well since Thursday. I am starting the fat fast tomorrow Candra sent me after i do a weight check in the AM.

*sigh* I can't wait to be in 12s So since I ate hand fuls of cheez its, I went to the gym at my mom's apts just now and ran on the treadmill....well, walk, jogged, walked, jogged, etc...I haven't done that in years. Felt nice.

Does emailing Dr. Baggs count? I checked in with him a few weeks ago; I will call them on Monday am, because I believe the last time they checked me and recorded my weight was the end of Sept when I met with the psych. Why is it so hard to re start after a cheating day? started out okay today then temptation won. as usual.
