Laura~ We will keep in touch...that would be cool to meet, even if it is quick! My DP is having a reunion from when she was stationed in Germany, my 40th, and my best friend from college lives there. Only planning on 3 days. We were staying at Mandalay Bay, but I think she changed it.

Jane~ Your post made me laugh. Going in a couple hours to get fill and first support group. 100 in a week...could you imagine?

I'll post more tonight!

Hello Tracyinks,

Thank you. You are doing marvelous yourself. I can see the changes in your pics. Nice smile

TracyinKS - not a queen yet... at the end of the month when I don't have to force myself to go I will be. LOL, at this point just tired of looking at myself

TracyK - I tried the Fiber sure today, no taste, I put it in a turkey burger at lunch and my 1/2 cup of sugar free icecream and no taste at all. I hope it works,

Everyone is doing fantastic, and it seems like we are all getting motivated this month. It has all been such a big adjustment, so now that I know what I need to do.... I'm doing it. LOL

Thanks for the info Jenn...I don' think I would be able to handle it if it was yuck (as my DD calls it)

ard-you are doing wonderfully too!!

sooooooo sad

I just had my first salad, which was so good, buti put a pepperchini in it, cut up very small and it didn't work so well. They are one of my favorite things ever! I guess no more for me. how ironic, my daughter just tried one tonight and she loves them... I've been trying to have her try one for years.

[TracyK 3]

Jenn-not to sound dumb...but wtf is a pepperchini?

[Jennifur 0]

They are hot peppers, they come whole with stems and are a funky light color green, not too spicey, but you know you are eating them. I have texture issues so i like them, they kind of crunch. Usually found in antipasta salads with italian meat.< /p>

that is ok, I love italian cooking, my bff since I was 3 is italian and I learned a lot...LOL

[Jennifur 0]

Hey Jennifer

You have a good night too, it is trash night so we are doing some cleaning.

my company is gone but things are everywhere, I can't stand messes and it is a big one, but i want to throw it all away!

Whew.. what a day. Grandson Ethan was here all day and I took him out in his stroller. I walked for 45 minutes with him. Took my Crystal Light lemonade along with me and finished it 15 minutes before we got home so I was ready for lunch. I'm feeling no restriction at all, but kept to my portions. For lunch and supper I had the "un"sandwich, one with turkey and one with tuna.. all rolled up in a lettuce leave. I had to pace myself cause I could have eaten it up in 10 minutes. DH wanted to go out for Soup tonight so we went to Culvers and he ordered the cream of broccoli soup. I ate all the mushy broccoli for him and he got the liquid. I had 3 spoonfuls of his small chocolate shake. He saved half of it in the freezer for another day. Tonight I'll have my yogurt with fiber sure for my evening snack.

I just finished preparing a new flower bed. Tomorrow I'll finish laying the black liner and the mulching. Then it's on to the other new flower bed I made this summer. Today was 89 degrees here in northern Michigan. My swimming pool might be heated up enough to swim in again if it doesn't get real cool again. We had lots of strong wind here today too. The power went out several times and finally stayed out for about an hour. The cable and internet were down almost 2 hours.

Everyone have a great evening and remember to follow those bandster rules!!:cheer2:

I'm addicted to Crystal Light fruit Punch. Has anyone else tried it? I used to only buy the lemonade until a friend begged me to try her fruit punch. Now there's no turning back. lol

Good evening Violets!

MsJen: Good to see you around again!

Jane: WE WISH!!!!!!!

Judy: You are rocking and rolling this season!

TracyK: So what your saying is that you have AWESOME legs and a tiny butt! Whooooooooooohooooooooooooo!

Me.... I carry weight ALLLLLLLLL over.. balanced I guess... but I swear it would be nice if so much of it didn't rest in my BatWings! the only way I'll ever be comfortable in tank tops is to have surgery.. (even WITH the scar it would be better than the massive amount of skin I'm sure to have)

I definately have some restriction..... tonight I ate a grilled cheeseburger.. it tasted SOOOOOOOO good, but I got full before my WANT for the taste subsided...

The way I explained it to dbf is ... my stomach is full, but right back here (pointing to the back of my cheek) I still had a taste tingle that wanted more.. Does this sound even remotely familiar to aNYONE.. or am I just a freak?... ok.. maybe.. don't answer that one...........

I knew that if I ate one more bite, I would pb it.... I even went so far as taking another bite before I put all the leftovers in the fridge and I KNEW that if I swallowed it.. I would be a gonner........ so I spit it out..... I did wait ONE hour to have a drink of tea... and overall I am proud of myself.

In the old days I would of had 2 burgers w/bun, the Beans, the chips, and the icecream w/brownie.......... but I didn't... I had 1 1/3 burger and 1.5 tablespoon of baked beans.... YAY ME!

[TracyinKS 7]

ard: fruit punch CL is my favorite flavor too!

[Teachlady 3]

"Yea me" is right, Tracy!! Good job on handling the burger.:clap2::clap2:

I used to be a CL Classic Orange drinker exclusively, but now it's the Lemonade. I put my bottle in the freezer when I'm eating a meal and after an hour it's icy cold. It's a 33.8 oz bottle so it doesn't freeze solid! But it's soooooooooo good when it's that cold!
