tamra.

im stopping my coffee intake as of today; also havent done carbs....I think when I dont drink the skinny lattes I loose better...

it feels so good to be home!! I had some roast with green beans cooked in bacon for dinner and a small glass of crystal light....for some reason when I drink that stuff I feel fuller...its strange!! SO I HAVE A NEW GOAL!! My bf told me if I loose my 16.7 lbs before I see Baggs he will get me my WII and WII FIT!! whoo hoo but thats only If I can do it before Sept 8th...that gives me a few weeks....LOL I want that stupid game system so bad, think I can do it girls??

Both snack or meal ! I like them from Trader Joes

great picture!!!

I hope I am down some weight next week when I check!! I was 266.7....Id love to be 260.....maybe in the 259 ish! that would be so cool....

i THINK at this point theres no rushing in...but it isnt a long wait, like i said i had the info class July 10th and had orientation July 28th....thats Richmond...one thing I did do was call to make sure they had my referral

Nicole tell him to be careful - my ex turned a temp job down and the agency reported it to unemployment, and he lost it. They sometimes do report

Heyyy who's on facebook that hasn't added me yet...lol... tamra5158@yahoo.com!

Christine I LOVE apple hill ! I haven't been since before my daughter so about 3 years...maybe I will head up there this year!

I have only had a coffee (approx 120 cal) and water. My tummy still hurts from the pizza I snuck last night...*sigh* lol...but i have my yummy can of tuna and lettace for lunch...weird, I MISSED it this weekend!

potatoes are my weakness, as you see from my chili cheese fry incedent LOL!! so you are allowed them after banding?

Good morning ladies!! Thanks for the pep talk last night, I feel so much better today. back on track! Candra / Jess - Look forward to seeing you guys Weds. Does anyone else want to come? I don't think I want to do a weight check there, because this morning I am up 3 lbs...If I see it Weds I'll be mad LOL! I will wait until next Tuesdays (2 week check)....I say that now but watch I will step on that scale the minute they offer it LOL. Heather - You are so cute!! you look great!!! Even with gaining I feel really good. I was walking into my job (which is ALL WINDOWS so people watch you) this morning hands full, coffee, the usual and I pictured myself skinny and what if would be like....man it seemed so nice!! I will be able to fit on rides with Brianna at great america one day...I can fly and not be worried if the seat belt will strap me in....ahhhh... Also, next Aug '10, is another annual BBQ for my old job Longs. I missed last months...If I am banded hopefully in Oct/Nov, by next year I just might be at goal of 160 or close...imagine how they will react to a whole different tam!!

you guys seriously make me laugh!! I am laying in bed with my laptop and reading this thread!! YAY HEATHER!!! Your almost there girly! hey maybe we will be banded at the same time my boyfriend brought something up a few mins ago on the phone...he said if i think about it, none of my friends are being supportive, they all eat and drink and beg me to go out....when i do they say ooohh one night wont hurt you.... maybe i need to stick to you guys and thats all...LOL

LOL!!!! your cracking me up!!! i agree with you, which is funny...and feeling used, yes i have by her many times.... I am a super loner. I have never had alot of friends. I missed out having fun in school, when I turned 21, etc....I am shy too, which doesnt help, so I tend to hold on to people....but i am looking forward to becoming closer to you all....

your not bothering me at all, i love the advice!! i need it right about now, thats why i came stright here i will get passed it, another hump in life!!!

yes please lets go!!

its okay lol she upset my other friends when i told them also.....thanks for listening

Thanks everyone!! Do you know when the next class is @ Richmond by any chance? It would be hard to cut her, we have been friends since about 15, but she is VERY negative. she has alot of issues and is dealing with alot now, but I never EVER throw her stuff into her face like she does me. *shrugs*...... I will look into some counsling as well...and I do have extra skin, always have around my tummy, i dont CARE!! What I care about is being healthy and around for my baby. even if (and when i do) get to 160, i wouldnt show my body off with skimpy clothes....why am i sitting here makin excuses for her??? LOL... whatever! where is the class again SAT? and what time? I have a church function @ I believe 11 am in Vallejo.

well ladies (Riley mentioned me starting today again) that didnt happen...had some chili cheese fries.... a friend of mine REALLY pissed me off Friday, and I just lost my drive....seriously...all she keeps telling me is save money to remove extra skin because I will have alot, and they she read on the lapband that all the woman always need it; she told me if i have extra skin it will be horrible, that she would never want to show her body if she was me, etc etc etc...shes been doing this to me the past few months.....finally friday i said f-it...got my cheesecake...yesterday i did decent...today the fries, snacked on some pickles, soda..etc....i am a sensitive person and sometimes others negativity rub off on me ALOT... I am going to Safeway tonight to buy my salad for the week, cottage cheese, etc...I had a major slip and with only 16 lbs to go I shouldnt let it happen...darn i feel like imma cry...why do people say things they dont need too?????

morning ladies sorry i missed you all, ended up getting home at 5pm! had a bad weekend eating, snacking....back on track tomorrow ;(

I know I SUCK dude!!! ;( Well did cheesecake factory..it was worth it, but I wont be getting on the scale anytime soon.... Then I followed my friends to bars and drake water...ONE SIP OF VODKA TONIC because she bartender handed it to me and said it was water......i couldnt reflex and spit on the floor, so I swolled it and handed it back...thanks alot.

As of right now I dont look to be going - I have the cirus @ 11, then my friend needs a babysitter while she house hunts....:thumbup:
