REGRFWD

Well since you already have 6, would you mind a couple more because mine are driving me nuts! :drool:

HA! this was harder than i thought, might break this up w/the age differences next summer. the tweens are the work right now, i LOVE the 2-7yrs olds. ready to go visit MY mom next wk and let her pamper me..:eek:

bigbaby - yes hubby was banded about an hr after i was. it has been awesome to go through the same experience together...we figured we got heavy together while married, lets get fit at the same time....No, he's never been on here, but he hears a LOT about it:tongue:

What a wonderful thread this is!! Do most of you count calories? As you can tell I am still adjusting to being a bandster. I haven't gotten it right yet but I am trying!!

I keep track of my intake on TheDailyPlate.com ... I TRY not to go over 1200 calories a day (doesn't always work though )

What do you mean you haven't gotten it right? Looks like you're pretty much halfway to your goal ... CONGRATS!

I've never tried ground turkey for anything although I've always heard it's leaner & healthier ... maybe I should give it a try :crying:

Sorry I've been MIA! Been really busy this past week....

I found the Parmesan Meatball recipe ~~> here

Today I am making Mexican Meatballs which I found ~~> here

Thanks Bloo! I'm on liquids for a couple of days because I got a fill yesterday. I can't wait to try the recipes though. I'll probably be dreaming about meatballs tonight because I'm craving them now, lol.

georgia girl / bloo & regular posters w/kids - WOW, i bow to you!

cause i've had my 6 nieces/nephew for a wk now and to go from cooking for 2 banded persons to 8 with tastes off the MAP!!!!!

i've seen my husband PB a bunch and just look at him, like he's crazy. i had baby back ribs in our smoker for 6hrs today and i take one bite and was met with a fast dash to the sink & i'm scheduled for a fill in the AM.

I'm with Bloo, you can borrow my 2 year old son, lol. He's a typical 2 year old boy.....into everything and never stops, except to sleep. He definitely keeps me on the go! We won't even go into how picky he is with food....he gets it from his daddy. They are both nightmares to cook for....

Had a fill yesterday so I'm on liquids for a couple of more days.
