August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[StormWarning 194]

HEY, I WOULD DRAG YOU THERE IF YOU COULD FIT IN I am actually taking my backpack and one carry on so I can bring home MX vanilla. If you have someone coming with you, send them out to get some. It is amazing. I bake cupcakes as a hobby (well, I used to) and it is so good. Much better than the kind we get in US. I like Madagascar vanilla but it is less expensive in MX and just as good.

I already use it. I have both actually the dark and the clear. There is tons of perks of Living in Texas!! There is always someone going to Mexico so naturally I send them with my shopping list for spices, medicines and what not. etc.

I love there vanilla to always ask anyone going there to pick me up some, I actually still have some from son going last year. but darn not taking check on luggage this time so not getting anything. I assume it has to go in checked baggage cause its a liquid, correct? I do wonder about if there is medicine we can buy down there cheaper to bring back but then are we alowed to do stuff like that, with new requlatins f flying just never sure now. I have looked the TSA rules up but some times ya still wonder

Stormwarning, I have only been in a funk (actually a horrid mood) one day and that was day before yesterday. Done fairly well other than that day. Had no patience at all. Not good to be at VBS with about 160 kiddos on that day!!!

Yep definitely a stall here. Although I kept questioning myself if that was even possible. I am stuck on 314. I really was hoping/trying to be 300 or less for surgery, but I am not going to be myself up over it, I have lost 8lbs so far, shrunk some inches although I do know how many cause it never occured to me to take measurements.

[mczoo33 72]

but Icandoithis, look at what you have lost, that's more then my 5 year old granddaughter, you have already lost a mini person

ya i am kinda stalled right now to, but I been adding in some walking and such, not much mind you but trying to get it in there and i am sure that its toning some and so more like muscle weighs more then fat, I lol when I think of me with muscles lol but its coming....So you have done wonderful and one day it will be there. Sure our bodies is rebelling saying i know this stage and pretty soon she will stop working so hard and I will slam it back on her, well sorry body, not this time when I loose the weight this time its a goner for good. Dang I am turning in to one of those happy people that make ya crazy cause there to happy, but I am right now, been so long since I felt this good and excited about something

[allnewme 262]

OK, ladies...this weekend... BEFORE photos (front, side and backside)....measurements, all over, (my friend even measured her head). Take pictures in the pants you plan to keep as your beginning pants. then when we get skinny, we can fit in one leg Well, they will be way huge on us anyway!! Get your own journal for $1.00 at Michael's and weigh and measure. We gotta do this for ourselves, this is a journey!!!

I'm telling you, I think it's the pre-op diet. Once the carbs get out of our systems, and the body begins to burn fat, it puts us in a state of ketosis, which always makes me feel giddy. Keep it up!

[futureskinnypants 193]

Hey my lovies! Okay so ... I am going to be creating the new list shortly. But, in the mean time...if you have Facebook (which you should!) I have created a group for us on there.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/486344818061300/

There is the link. Some of you i dont know by name but if you wish to be invited add me and I can invite you to the group. I figured that might be easier for some of us to communicate and we can have live chats there. I can also create events and give shout outs to the new sleevers as we go through the process. We can share photos and stuff as well. I have it set to "secret" so no one can see what you post or even that you joined the group. (In case anyones surgery is secret) Hopefully that link works.
