Well Great News! The surgeon called this morning and long story short - My daughter had her surgery this afternoon!! Happy Happy Joy Joy!! I am at the hospital with her right now. She is having a lot of shoulder pain but this will pass.

She does post on here. Her name is Chelsbels :thumbup:

Miracles DO happen!!! That's wonderful. I know you are both so excited. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery for her. Tell her we all said congratulations!!!

[Brandy~ 2]

Thats awesome news Colorado! I wish her a very speedy recovery. So she did get her christmas miracle eh?

Well I am doing great... despite my band opening up some and being able to eat more I woke up down another pound. Every pound I lose now is really exciting since I am under 200 now and it's getting close to time for hawaii!!

Hope everyone had a very safe happy holiday.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Ladies (and gentleman lurkers)...yes I'm alive, no I'm not kicking...well not much...

Well after being a glutenous (to what my band would allow) pig over Thanksgiving and Christmas and going to buy some pants with my lovely Kohl's gift card (damn the 16's were tight)...I realised I am sabotaging myself! WTH am I doing? Of course I relealise this licking cheeto dust off my fingers. No I haven't gained much - but more importantly I hadn't lost anything either.

Protein? 0...lowfat foods? 0....Fruits/Veggies...that's laughable....chips? Yep, Sliders? Yep...Girls what am I doing to myself? I had WLS for what reason? Sure as hell wasn't to go back to eating crap and sitting on my lazy butt in front of the TV. March-August - Weight loss 50 pounds....August-December - 0 pounds...What's wrong with this picture?

So what did I do this morning...I got up and went to the gym. Rather than half-ass walk (which means 10 minutes then sit in the sauna for 15)...which is what I've been doing for two months...I actually walked and jogged a bit. Then I got on the bike and rode for five miles. I sweated! Woohoo! Yea for sweat!!! I'd forgotten how good it felt.

So today ladies I did something else....Guess what? I logged my food? Nope hell hasn't frozen over...I'm done talking the talk. It's time to walk the walk.

I'm going to be a new me in 2009. Okay so maybe I have some food addicition issues. Cheetos? Just say no! Doritos? Just say no!

Okay - so I'm back. Now will each of you kick my ass and remind me why i miss all of you so much?

Big HUGS and KISSES!!!!! I miss you so much...so I'm back to annoy everyone and give uneducated and unrequested advice. Miss me much? lol

Okay now that I've gotten my "book out of the way". How's everyone? Congratulations Brandy on Onderland! You rock girlie!!! CC - I hope your daughter is doing well. Congrats and speedy recovering!!

Turler? Bea? Mom?

Good Morning all. I don't have a loss to report :tongue2: I will survive though as the scale has been super good to me last week... especially since it was a holiday.

I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track. I hate new years resolutions so I am starting early haha.

This is the first year I don't have a resolution of being under 200 by the next year :huh2:

[Brandy~ 2]

OMG LESLIE IS BACK (((((((((((())))))))))))))))))!!!!

You better not run off again lil missy!

Hi Leslie! I am having the exact same issues! Aaarrrggg! It is so frustrating!

This is the first year I don't have a resolution of being under 200 by the next year :huh2:

I also started the 5 day pouch test today. Trying to get back on track. I still have the resolution to get under 200. I have bounced between 204 and 210. It has been frustrating but I have noone to blame but myself!

I read your blog today Colorado :tongue2: It's neat. I love to read them... Kinda gives you a little more insight about them..

When I write my blogs I am just rambling.. The best part is I just assume no one will ever really read them so I say whatever I want.

I am new to blogging. I just write about whatever strikes me. I just added a post about Onderland. I read yours and really liked it!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Ladies I'm back on liquids/mushies myself (self imposed) for a week. Hoping to kick start me back. Can we pretend we are newbies and ignorant? Yep sounds like a plan to me!

Oh I had a blog - but when I had my mental breakdown I deleted it like a dufus...I need to read ya'lls and get back to blogging myself. Accountability thing :-)
