Sorry I missed the meeting and lunch today. I didn't sleep too well last night and was in a bad/sad mood this morning - couldn't mentally get myself to go anywhere. I don't what is up with me. I had roasted chicken for Breakfast, Peanut Butter and crackers for lunch, a few dark chocolate covered raisins, and shells and cheese for dinner.

Went to my daughter's harvest carnival at school yesterday from 5-7:30 - I helped set up and clean up so didn't get home until 8:30 pm -

Hopefully I will wake up in a better mood tomorrow.

Hi Candra - Glad you had a good time!

I'm starving, trying not to eat anything else today. Nite all!

[singand_dance 8]

Howdy everyone! I'd say today was just what I needed. It's great seeing everyone, and getting to finally meet Maria!

I came home and fell asleep for about 2 hours. My body must be trying to tell me something, like "Sleep is good". I'm hanging out tonight, trying not to sabatoge myself!

Hey gang! Haven't gone back and read all the posts - that's the treat I am promising myself for AFTER my house is clean :-)

Pammie you are bummed quite a bit lately - get in to see someone please before it gets worse. I have suffered through severe depressions twice and I don't want that to happen to you :-( Exercise will help, I promise! It takes 4 days to feel the effects (for me) you just have to keep at it until it works. Get outside and walk walk walk - or better yet get to curves and sweat sweat sweat!

I don't think this boy is going to work out. He is already annoying me & I swear he is getting dumber by the day - by this morning he was right up there with a rock on the ol' IQ scale. And SO hypersensitive . . . every other sentence out of his mouth is "why do you have to be so mean to me"? Whiney sissy la-la baby. It's not sounding too hopeful is it??

Losing again! Exercising like mad again is why :-) Gym with treadmill up at 12 incline then 8.5 miles alfter yesterday - crazy but I broke through!:thumbup:

Hey Everyone. It was really fun seeing everyone yesterday. So fun to meet you Marie......your beautiful and so positive!! Loved talking to you.

Yep I missed Pam I don't think I have ever been to a meeting where she wasn't there so this was a first!! I commented how much I missed you Pam..........

Candra you have lost girl!! I could totally tell. Still thinking about your step daughter. Boy when you signed up to be a step mother you really, really got a job........So funny to hear about bridezilla too!!

Nicole missed you. But hopefull we can meet up this week and go to Pinole together if Dr. Baggs still wants me to come over.

Liz and Nicollie so fun to meet you guys. You fit right in!!

Donna I am so glad your back. I miss your phone calls and our talks. We need to catch up sometime.

Riley. Glad your losing. I think I Have to exercise to lose too. I lost almost 10 pounds in two weeks but I need to talk to Dr. Baggs. I am considering asking for a .25 unfill but not sure yet I might be fine with a few more pounds gone. So you must be close to goal!!

Analyne I did not get to meet you but next time.

Heather I agree call Dr. Fischer cause I think at 6o down they could do the surgery easy. The reason you want the band is to help you out. It gets hard to hang on if you make it to drawn out...........maybe he will get that if your honest.

Candra. Dr. Fisher did a great job with your incisions. YOu can barely see them. I don't plan to wear a bikini so I am ok with mine. I sorta like tham they remind me of everything that has gone ont he last year. But your are much smaller. :-)

[swrktp 1]

199 and 200.2. Those are my weights today..........never mind I have only had Soup today and barely any.

I am afraid I might stay here for awhile before I get another spurt.

That is how it always works for me 5-6 off in less than a week and than nothing until the next big spurt.............I guess I am a prius that gets a shot of gas every once in awhile that rev my metabolism up................

Hey all,

Reggie - when will we see you again?

Soon I hope Candra, I was at the 100 year Boys Scouts March this weekend at the Capitol and Raley field and not only that I am also down today with a horrible cold. We need to get together again soon. I do miss you all!!!!

Hi All - Sounds like Saturday was a fun get together. Maybe I can get there next month or if we plan something a little farther south or whatever direction it is closer to Richmond.

Riley - you crack me up. Don't you know all guys get whiny once in a while!! Hey, I figured out I gave away the size 10s since I thought I would never ever be back to them. I do have some 12s if that would help. PM me if you want to come look.

Heather - I'm routing for you. Sounds like a good idea to talk to your Dr. - you've come so far.

Annalyn - where are you? We need to hear from you. We are both getting close to "the number"! Got to keep cheering each other on. You've been doing so well with your exercise - you need to push me to do more!!! I am down 3 more lbs on my scale, but I'm not updating my ticker until I get a Kaiser weigh. (If we went by my scale I'd only be 3 lbs from Surgery goal weight!) I am going to see if I can get a weigh appt here so I can go in in the morning. Weighing at night at support group is always more and it gets discouraging.

Well good night all. Hope everyone has a good healthy week. Stay well - the flu is really traveling around. My son has had it twice and all today I felt like I was getting a sore throat.

Ladies and John - I forget to send you this. My sister emailed me this in one of those email chain letter. Hugs to all of you.

Quotation:

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others... May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are.. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us..'
