I do! i have a few pairs of jeans in a 7/8 and a pair of bermuda shorts in a 9 that i can now pull up but can't quite button. i buy things very cheap or get them for free.

boo boo- I'm so excited to see the pics when you have them done! i wish i was there to do your make up. I love doing make up!

would removing the band help? that would suck to have to do that, but if your body can't handle it maybe it's the best.

boo boo that pic is awsome! you look hot. guess what! i lost my freaking bodybugg! I've torn my house apart looking for it. I remember taking it off, and i always put it on my night stand and it is gone! i've pulled out all my furniture looked in the drawers. It's crazy! we dont have any houseguests and my kids never came into my room. hmm.... I'm so mad right now, burned a ton of calories looking for it and it doesn't even know it!

Merry Christmas!!!

i can eat it all, i've been banded 1 year

post them!

dream! You can do it!

amazing. They look fantastic! You officially look like a skinny girl! The scar even looks great for 3 weeks out.

goal 140 by my 26th bday june 13th.

house cleaning does burn a lot!

saw enchanted last night with my hubby and little girls and he thought it was retarded at first and then i saw him almost crying! He liked it, though he would never admit it. I say enchanted all the way! Golden compass has a lot of controversy surrounding it I guess, something about killing God, not sure if it's true or not.

yeah that's what i do every other day, like friday i took at walk outside in the freezing cold down my very steep hill and back up a few times to burn that extra 200 calories. It's just sundays are our lazy day, relaxing. Do you think it will sabotage my efforts?

boo boo-thanks! we had the best time, it was our 7th anniversary trip and our only one so far. What a memory to have. i don't envy with the family holidays! We are spending christmas with 3 families that we love and enjoy hanging with. I prefer that over a holiday in the crazy house (thats what all of our friends call my family so you can only imagine)

ljm- I'm eating not toowell, still keeping my deficit but i go over my fat target each day and carbs. I have had candy, cranberry bread, muffins, Cookies ect. I think after this week of holiday eating i'll bust down again to my southbeach way of eating that works so well for me. that means i'll probably go over the calories alloted. My car should be fixed this wednesday I can't wait to get back to the gym! I have an elliptal at home and a ton of workout videos so I'm still working out, but i miss running! Good to know that running burns the most for you. I just love running. is there a day that you guys don't normally reach your deficit? Like today Sunday, we sit in church for 4 hours then come home and nap then we baked and decorated cookies together, now we are doing a campfire outside, so I know I over ate! and hardly move an inch on sunday. Is it ok not to reach the deficit one day a week?

my favorite site in Rome, The Trevi Fountain, the pic does it no justice

The Partheon

at the Vatican

The ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, no photos aloud, so that is a flash free sneaky photo, hence the bad angle and quality. I wouldn't want my flash to damage something that old! Spanish Steps

i love goodwill! i have a fantastic Kasper business suit that I got for $10, tags still on it! I had a price of $160! It's too big now though.

i go to sleep thinking about what i will eat for bkfast, lol! then i'm starving 2 hrs after that and so on. I eat about every 2-3 hrs. so the calories really add up. yeserday i had 966 calories and let me tell you I was so hungry, it was torture. 1/2 cup fills me up fine, but my pouch empties very very quickly i guess. 1 hr. later, i'm so hungry i feel like i've never eaten in my life. Then i drink a ton of Water to help hold me over for another hour or two.

brandy- i have a ton on myspace. i'll post some here.

so i'm having a tough time staying under 1500 calories! Maybe it's a sign i need another fill? or that i snack to much. Cleaning house burns a lot for me.

I'm still on it! week 8, had to repeat 7 a few x, and i haven't run in a week, my car is in the shop for over 3 weeks now and if I run outside i get shin splints. But i plan on finishing week 9 and increasing my time from there too!
