    Hi Reggie, I cant wait to meet you. I saw some pics of you on Saturday. Don't fall off...Candra, John and I know the good Dr can be quite harsh....Don't let him have the satisfaction.... Do you live close enough to Richmond to get to the support group meeting this Wednesday night????

    LOTTO!!! Me too, Jes...If only???? I'm just glad to know that it's not a requirement...I don't need the baggering and belittling.... the nurse did say I could set a phone appt if I wanted too. Of course, I bypassed that too. I just hit the treadmill for 46:13minutes have showered and I feel good. I have to eat my jello as soon as it sets.... Okay so I have made arrangements for Wednesday and plan to come...If I am not too tired after work...I may even just go straight to Richmond at 3:30pm and go to Hilltop or something. Because if I come home....babe....that's all she wrote. I'll be back....

    Hey All, John, opps! Sorry, I'm sure I had some hand on his tardiness. Sorry the appt was emotional. However, sometimes that's what we need to get ourselves together! Keep us posted on your surgery date. Wish I were going to Mexico. Adding on.... Snack- green tea w/ peach dinner will be chicken broth and jello.... While my family eats baked pork chops, red beans and rice and collard greens!!! So not fair! But, I will be hott later! The payoff can't come quick enough. Oh, I'm getting on the treadmill when they start eating!

    Jes, I will try to stick to the stages.....If I can....I am psychologically hungary....Not real hunger... Candra-Good for you on calling and getting your appt. Did you tell them you'd prefer not to see Robin??? Maria-You can do it! I'm with you... My mini goal is to lose the 4.6lbs by next week... My next goal is to be at 190lbs by Valentine's Day... Who all is planning to go to the Richmond Support Group on Wednesday and are the ever any children there? Are they allowed????

    Hey, hey, hey!!!! I'm back! Today, I weighed 204.6lbs... I have to go change my ticker... I am so happy...I want to knock-off the 4.6lbs by next week...Do you all lose after having a fill??? Yes, I did get a fill. I already had 4cc's inside and he added 1cc....I am now at 50% full. I am back on Stage 1 today and Dr Fisher said to go up one stage per day...Not just clear liquids for 2 days. What do the other Dr's have you all do??? Pam-The only reason I waited was because I was flipping through a Lia Sophia Catalog and lost track of time and I was trying to wait unil 9:45am and just leave and go on to my Dr appt...To heck with Robin. I did ask Dr Fisher, "I know it may be benificial...but is it a requirement that we meet with Robin???" He said, "No!" It's not a requirement but sometimes helpful to us and it helps give them feedback....He took his time with my appt and I did not feel rushed. We were able to have a real candid, personal...professional conversation... He made me feel so comfortable..... I was finished at 10am. Food??? Breakfast at 10:30am-Tropical Green Tea w/ 4tsp. sugar Lunch-16oz. Chicken Broth Later, for dinner I plan to have more chicken broth and some jello....I need to go make it now. Canolie and Tamra-you ladies are so close....I know you can taste it!!! Tamra-Lets hit the gym this week....I am trying to come to the Richmond Support Group Wednesday...Maybe we can workout Thursday or Friday afternoon....I have to make sure my husband can get the kids. Riley-It won't be long before I squeaze into those size 10 Banana Replublic pants.... Candra-Did you call to make your appt???? Do I need to call for you? You know I will make them squeaze you in!!!!:rolleyes2: Dr. Fisher told me my next appt will be in 12 weeks... Somewhere around April 4th..... By then...3 months from now, I would like to be 180lbs..... I better hustle.... I will be lurking.....I took off today because I did not know what time I would be finished nor how I would feel after the fill................ Be back... John....where are you?????

I ate a slice....slither of a slice of Nations Cheesecake last night after dinner. It sure was good. I got to get that thing out of here...Still half left. Candra-are you calling for an appt??? Please do...Put the fire under Dr Who!!! Canolie-congrats on the jeans... Isn't it great when someone can use something you can't?

    John-Happy New Year! I can't wait to meet you. As I admire your faith in the "process" and ability to hang with this crazy bunch. LOL.... Your turn is coming. Yes, Bridezilla is total craziness!!! You would not believe some of the BS these women demand, expect and do for their weddings... I chose the no frills way-out...Contrary to popular belief...most of us would never act that way!!!! Enjoy........You will if nothing else, get a good laugh.

    Good Morning Good People!!! Today is that New Day we keep talking about.....Okay, so let's start this off right...My scale a few minutes agos said...205.8lbs... This means I am back to my Pre-Vegas and 1 lb down from my last weigh-in on 11/23 with Dr. Who!!!! I can't get excited because I had 2 loaded Margaritas at my girlfriend's house while trying on the Body Magic suits.... I needed the DRINKS and the girltime.... I will try to eat well today... Unfortunately, I am hungary already and planning to go out to breakfast.... I want a Bacon and cheadar omelette. My husband gets of early and we may go out with the kids. I promise I won't eat it all...HEHEHE! Candra-Okay, you're off the hook...My eyes were playing tricks on me....I saw, "Candy" and thought it said, "Candra"....LOL, sorry!!!! Jes-I'm like you...My legs and thighs have never had much weight. I have more middle and breast. When I lose weight. My knees, legs, and thighs are the first to go. I know, I'm not complaining. I really like it. I just wish the stomach would follow. If it weren't for that thing...I could probably fit into a 12...I am currently into a 14 or 16...Down from my 18's. TTYL......................

    Good evening all, so, I just returnen from my Body Magic appt and I bought the tank.... I love it. I actually purchased a Medieum...Can you hear me??? I said a Medium.... I tried a large first and could get into it so easily the representative said I should try a medium...I was like, "Whoa!!!!!" So I tried it and guese what???? It fit...I have not worn a medium anything in years.... I did try on an official Body Magic suit...contraption and I tried a 38...I could have fit into a 36.... I am not ready to fork out that kind of $$$$. Knowing I won't fit it in a few months...with the weight loss....I'd rather wait until I get closer to goal.... Jes-I will have to try that one next time...Gayles friend, sells them...Let me know if you need a contact...I paid 30+ for my tank. I may see you all Saturday......Later.

Jes-I wish I had some of that cake....Glad you had fun at the slumber party. Candra-Yes, we may finally meet....I can't wait either. I am trying to go to the meeting in Richmond on Wednesday and start the year off right...It might make me accountable...
