LOL That is great Mandi....ONEderland is right there....within grasp!!! Yes, you will most definitely need to make a new Xmas goal!!!

ummmm....re. your Gramma and callin' her a liar...ummm.....depends....how big is she??!!! :peep:

Maybe when people say "I'm gonna be on Deal or no Deal" it is merely wishful thinking and then people overhear them say it and take it literally and then the dreaded rumour starts! Too funny really, because there are only going to be five shows in Canada....which equates to maybe about 10 people total who will get to be on it; a decision they can't make until AFTER the auditions!!!!

Coooool opportunity for the lucky folks who make it though!

wow Mandulicious! when you get to onederland send me a postcard!!!

I not only will send you ALLL postcards, but invitations to join me!! Except Yoda. (that's for my grandma!)

:(

Just kidding... you can have one too, I GUESS. It will be fabulous, when it happens. I don't know what I could make my new Xmas goal. My next milestone after getting out of the 200's was to make it to 184 (which would be 100lbs lost) But that's 17lbs from now, and 5 weeks + 2 days (til I go home). That's WAAAAAY too much for me to get my hopes up for.

I dunno... what's a significant # inbetween 199 and 184? How about I aim for 194 and pray for more, by Xmas? If things go well, and I really think I can do it, I'll work my ass off to make that 184, but... for now, my new Xmas goal is 194.

But for now, I'm just crossing my fingers to see a 1 as the first number on the scale! I was all ready, with a camera out this morning. :(

(side note, I forgot to tell ya... I tried on some jeans at Old Navy this weekend, and a sweater and shirt {you'll see pictures when I get to the 100's!}... I tried on the jeans just for the hell of it. Size 16's... and not in a plus size store, even thought I'm sure they consider them that. I went to pull them up, and was SURE they wouldn't... but they DID! They're quit 'fitted', and I'm a little scared to wear them to work... but they fit, and they're not tight. I went and paid for them, and they came up as $9.99... I thought "What the hell?!" but kept my mouth shut! I came back the next day, searched for other jeans, but I couldn't find ANY in any sizes bigger than 10, so I bought a size 18 of the EXACT same size 16 jeans I got. They're a little less scary for me to wear... and at least I'll have the 16's when I'm ready for 'em! And all for $9.99 each! Just thought last night, that I should have bought one of the same jeans, in every size on the way down... and 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, and dare I dream, even lower!?)

I have been watching the Biggest Loser, i think it is because they work out so hard. I love watching that show.

Maria :(

I'm sorry but I've only been able to watch a few episodes. Who could live their lives like that. They will only go home and face the old demons. Sorry but that's what I think

Well Mandi, my christmas goal was `17 lbs. I'd probably be half way there if I hadnt put myself into the Mcflurry Coma before my fill.:( . How's the no-smoking going, over a week now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get kinda sick watching those people work out soooo hard. I think it's crazy. Maybe in my 20's, I'd take on that challenge. But I'm to mellow now.

I think that I tore my rotator cuff (my shoulder) when I was at the gym. Now I am in a lot of pain and it is taking forever and a lot of sessions of physio to heal but I really miss going to the gym. *sigh*

Yes... I think the amount of working out they do is INSANE.. I go to the gym, and I originally would have said i HATE it, but now I only 90% HATE it. I have seen those updates too... and how much they continue to lose AFTER they go home. That Marty guy last night looked GREAT, even before he went home! I told Dan, "That guy weighs 5 pounds less that you (273), and if he looks that good, THAT big, imagine what you could look like as long as you keep working out." I think he was a little inspired by watching that... so that's good. I find myself seeing these gals do their weigh-ins, and realize I weigh LESS than them for once (well, some of 'em). Before, when I watched, there were NEVER girls over 250lbs. (at least not that I saw). I can't be as avid of a watcher, because I believe it clashes with LOST. But now that LOST is off until Feb. I can watch the rest of the Biggest Loser.

Cloe, step away from the Mcflurry's! You're halfway there!? That's awesome... still about 6 weeks... you'll make it!

The not smoking.... ehh.... it's ok. I'm surviving. I still think I shouldn't be left alone, because when I am, I think "I should run to the store, buy some smokes, and no one would know!!!". Last night going to the gym was the first time I HAVE been alone, and I definitely toyed with the idea.

But I won't. I really want this to be it. I don't want to be a smoker anymore. I don't want to worry about stinking when I come inside. (probably tacked on an extra 100 cals a day with all the mints I sucked!) I also don't want to spend the money anymore. Now only if I could bring myself to put that money aside. It's funny... you can always find the money to buy another pack, but when it comes to putting it 'away', it's soooo hard!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
