Please give Haydee and Juan a big hug from me..will be thinking of them on saturday....what time is wedding??? Ok, my daughter made BEERITAs tonight to go with enchiladas....very good....has Corona, Lime tequila, limeade, not sure what else...watching hockey...very tense,,,Canucks just scored but we are still up 3-1....ok, will miss you guys this weekend....but me and the Lilacs will be fine....what happened to Tracey KS???

YES!! The new WW week starts on Sunday, so definitely-you may not have another 4.5 loss.....but... Now you may have to wait until Saturday to track your weight on Etools...or just do the tracking when you get back...

Pam, The best advice I could give you is go anyway (to WW)...it's the accountability...and chances are you will be pleasantly surprised...with a loss....or not having as big a gain as you think....

sniff, I'm not!!! I have to WORK!!! LOL=then my daughter who's a nurse calls on her way home tonight to announce she is taking the day off tomorrrow and ha=ha, YOU (ME) have to work....the BRAT!!!! Sure, I have been here for the last 18 months, and NOW she takes a day off...lol, kids....Haydee, if/when you read this, I hope you have a beautiful day and a wonderful life....and deep down I am a Violet-well actually a LILAC...I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lilacs.....and thet are a-blooming....love to sniff those lilacs....Pamela, did you weigh in??? Loved Carson's pictures at CB....he is such a cutie....ok, not sure why I am watching baseball....

Judy, good for you that's great!!!I was up a little, but still "under" goal...freezing here too and windy...but no white stuff...nothing on tap for the weekend, except curling up in my wooby...small bright spot...I have a job...not a very well paying one and VERY temporary, only 2 1/2 wks, but it's something...working in the HR dept. of the City here..so we'll see... Played Bunco the other night for the 1st time ever...was interesting...didn't win squat, but that's the story of my life.. I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day..

I think I saw Judy river-dancing across Michigan....:bored:

Yes you get 35 pts. per week, to use however you want...I was at 21pts., now with maintenance, I am at 23...and I lost again this week, so we may have to adjust the goal/or new Drs. note...decisions...they want you within 2 lbs EITHER way of goal, so now I am at 4.2 below goal....maybe next week I'll weigh in jeans and hubby's hiking boots...lol....enjoy the weekend everybody!!!

Judy, I wonder why the monthly pass is higher there...try doing it online before you go...cuz its 39.95 here too...I also found a couple lap-band "groups" on the WW site...I'll send thm yo you when I find them again....I hope Michelle is having a good time and Haydee too..my daughter is leaving for FL/Tampa area tomorrow, just for 4 days, but I am jealous.....I need a vacation...of course I need a job, so I can afford a vacation!!!!:smile:

Delo, if you have e tools use the recipe builder tool...its great:thumbup:

Pamela and Delo, if you need help with anything WW related, feel free to ask....:scared2:

I heartily recommend WW-it has kept me accountable...I actually hit goal last week....granted, I asked my DR for a note to make my goal higher...I just don't see me getting to 155 at my age....and I have been hqanging in the 60's for months....so it kinda feels like I backed into the goal weight, but in 6 wks. I won't have to pay anymore, so thats good.... The only part of following plan I have trouble with the band...I can't do fruits or vegetables very well....bananas get stuck...salads, iffy, broccoli, forgetaboutit....and I am not quite sure how to count pts. when i PB....I really like my leader though-she knows about my band....however I think the band is why I was never hired by WW... I really want to be happy about the weight accomplishment, but this dang no job status is reallyyyy getting me down....:thumbup: Hope the knee feels better Judy, Michelle, hugs to you and your family....Hope Carson is feeling better Laura, hope the weather is beautiful for your special day, Haydee.. Off to start dinner....have a agreat day/evening!

Sorry I could not post sooner, I could notchange my password...but I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you and your family also, Michelle.. I started out the week with strep and now have bronchitis and a sinus infection....my daughter's boyfriend and another friend of mine both landed jobs this week...other than that it's been a long week..sick of being sick...:tt1:

Prayers going up here for everyone...I had a wee bright spot yesterday,,,I talked to one of my Mom's oldest, dearest friends...I had tried checkinng Facebook a couple weeks ago looking for her son, they had an unusual last name....found the daughter, found out her brother had died, but that the mom was still alive and kicking....so I called her and she sounded exactly the same, we talked for an hour-she is still driving, lives essentially on her own, was a great talk...sorry you all are having trials right now....hang in there....

david Cassidy was my sister..I was Beatles girl...saw him once before with her...many moons ago....gonna get to bed..Hubby is off tomorrow and Monday...busy weekend...for a change...:scared2:

Happy Birthday Suzy.....not much happening here..my microwave died and income tax check won't be here til late next week...we got about a foot of snow Tuesday..not as bad as east Coast for sure...still at 10 lbs to goal....gonna see-saw for a while I see...nothing new on job front...sigh..my sister, bil and littlr great nephew are coming in this weekend...she has tickets to see david Cassidy Saturday, going to Chicago Auto show on Sunday...:thumbup: Have a great day....

:eek: , cheesy polenta, LOL, read this after reading the Placenta stuff, and saw "cheesy placenta"....ok, I need a life or new glasses...

My date was2/28/07...start weight was 276.5, I am currently at 165.6...about 10# to goal...no erosion or port problems and no plastic planned...not sure where it would all get tucked to....too bad they don't have "Spanx" for the ENTIRE body!!! Very pleased with things, and if I could find a job I would be a very happy camper:thumbup:

quiet here today....not much new here, as usual...gonna be rainy weekend turning to snow by Monday....nothing planned...boring are we!

Great pictures Judy...making me very nostalgic...I need a cruise bad...I need a job, so I can go on vacation... Getting some freezing rain/drizzle right now..I am so ready for spring! Went on a cattle call interview this AM...then another interview for computer tech company.,..crossing fingers....pay wasn't much, but at this point, I don't even care anymore... I was down 3 lbs last week after a few weeks of gains...so still about 9 lbs. to goal. I would like to do it by my bandiversary date of 2-28-07. Just having leftover jambalaya tonight....:biggrin:

Haydee, he wants to lose 50# in 12 wks, think he did the pd for pd challenge with Biggest Loser...he has probably about 75-100 to lose, I think, but he doesn't agree-he thinks he'll be too skinny...yeah right...men...he thinks about losing wght and it comes off, he just doesn't think about it often enough or long enough...I have been "hearing" from some of my other Houston email buds...and they are hunkering down too...it has been snowing all day here...supposed to get Yet another foot!JOY, love winter=NOT!:thumbup:

there was just a commercial/demo on Food Network, that Greek yogurt is yogurt that has been strained/drained -all the water drains out....Have a wonderful cruise Judy...I am jealous...whaat is the other site like Myplate? Hubby is going to drive me nuts counting WW points, he can do calories...the man does not grasp the PORTION CONTROL concept!!! Ok, going to bed...have a good night!

I am here in a cocoon...we are having furnace problems...no heat tonight..had to order a part, it won't be here til tomorrow...so heater, fire place and oven are going full tilt....

Have a great day and a Happy New Years!!!!
