Hey there ladies.....I just want to say, "Wow!" You ladies are doing a great job...She enough of the talking about it..."Be" about it!!!! Way to go!

Not sure about the 16th...I will let you all know.

I think my scale is playing a cruel trick on me...Yesterday, AM it said 206.3. Today, it said, 202.9... There is absolutely no way I lost 3.4lbs in one freaking day...Mind you Kaiser's scale said 204.6, yesterday.... I have no idea how much I weigh...

I am still planning to come tomorrow night. I think they still weigh one Wednesday of the month....It may be the 1st Wed of the month...With my luck, it's the 3rd Wed, as this is when Pre and Post-ops meet...

Food-

Breakfast@7:30-Coffee w/ 2tsp sugar and non-dairy Creamer

Lunch@11:00-1 cup Cream of chicken Soup

Iced Tea later

Snack@3:00-4oz Jello

16oz Chicken broth

eating wise, I have had a great day on program...I'm on Stage II today.... Although, I still have dinner to get through... Not real hungary though...Trying to get to Onderland......

Way to go Tamra and Nicollie! You girls are rockin' it!

Me, not so much. I had two mini reeses pb cups today at work, because I was tired. I haven't identified the feelings for the other two reeses, or the bites of fudge I had at work. The fudge might have been curiosity (butterscotch, white chocolate and choc/mint flavored fudge- none was all that good). Ugh.

All my veggie ladies, I need your help! I've been having beef lately and it's not been that agreeable so I'm thinking I need more meat-free nights. What are your favorite meat free Proteins? I know you guys mentioned Quorn, was it patties or nuggets? I need some ideas.

Pam- I'll bring chicken verde to your place! Great on tacos/nachos/buritos/salad/the side of the plate etc. Pretty versatile. I'm looking forward to it!

[singand_dance 8]

Tamra, you should totally bring you munchkin to Pam's!

Mo girl you can easily cut the sugar....use splenda. You could have easily lost 3 lbs in a day. esp since you did the walk and are on liquids. Oh tomorrow is the last day you can weigh in at group. Bev doesn't want to haul the scale around.

I had a croissant at our meeting at work today argh....but then I had Chinese Soup for lunch which was broth. I'm going to have a taco for dinner. So all in all it was a ok day.

I'm so happy for you nicolie, you're going to be banded soon.

I won't be able to come on the 16th. It's my b-day weekend and I want to go to the spa.

Hi Everyone!

I just spent a while looking through the last 9 pages to catch-up! It looks like you all had fun recently!!! I have had my hands full lately. My Husbands Step-Grandfather died last week and the funeral is in the AM. Other then that, I've been dealing with issues with school, my home daycare I run, and my own babies LOL! Good news is I finaly got a treadmill off Craigslist and it is huge!!! I spent a while looking for one and it finaly worked out $80!!! The guy we bought it from could have sold it for $300.

Tamra - It sounds like you got the first treadmill that I was trying to buy on craigslist for $75 LOL!!! Glad that you are doing the walk for Autism... My son is on the spectrum of Autism.

The bad news is my weight is up on my scale, so I don't even want to know what it is at Kaiser. I need to Lose 20 now before the end of Feb. If I want to recover in time for the anual family camping trip. Otherwise I have to stay home while the hubby takes one of the boys :thumbup:

I am working my way up on the treadmill from 30 last night to 40 tonight. Not running, but fast paced walking :tt2: I am also trying to find ways to crush up my vitamines so I don't taste them since I am havin a hard time swallowing them. Any ideas?

Oh and any one want to be my texting buddy for accountability? I was thinking that it would be easier to text someone durring the day since I am on the run alot LOL! Just a thought!

And I forgot who posted about the tofu chip recipie but I tried it and loved it!!! I added spicy hummuss dip to it and even my 3 year old ate it!!!!

Candra- Let me know if you get Flirty Girl Fit !!!! I want the pole and the dvd but I think my hubby would like that too much and I can't afford another baby right now JK!!!!!

John- You me and Lee are all gona be sleeve buddies hehehe!

Lee- How are you!!!!! @ Fremont I need to call when I'm 5 lbs away from goal.

Ashley - I got the one that was $75 in Clayton, is that what you saw? I got lucky and nabbed it, otherwise most people were saying they were sold, etc.

I was gonna do the treadmill tonight but I need some fresh air, so Imma walk the Pinole Valley High track again for 1 mile.

Heather my child is going thru some wild 3 year old syndrom. She went from my angel child to a nutty baby!! she growls, yells, throws things, etc. its SOOOOO embarrasing!!!!! The dr. told me (yes I took her in lol) that she is just having a hard time expressing herself..lol

[Desperate1 1]

Tam - so what if you're baby is having a hard time - you can bring her - I believe Pammie said Nicole is coming and she will, most likely, bring Audrey.

Heather - girl you can get back on track - just wake up and do it - I ha to carb detox first - just fast for a day to get it over with LOL. I have been eating Edamame for Protein the last couple of days - simply because Im lazy and you can pop em in the microwave and munch on them with a little garlic powder - yummy!

Ash - I dont really think the pole will fit in my house but my husband claimed front row seats - My stepson is on the autism spectrum too - He will be 5 on the 12th and still doesn't talk in complete sentences and wears pull ups at night only but other than that he's a typical rough housing boy. I don't really understand how the scale works - seems like all the kids are on it now a days

It was riley that posted the tofu chips - i love them too - she's my new food guru.

Aww, Jes - wish you were coming to Pammie's - I will find another travel buddy but have fun at the spa -

So, anybody ever try the Shirataki noodles? zero cals & zero carbs... Hmmm... They say if it sounds to good to be true it probably is LOL

[MamaAsh 1]

Tamra- LOL...No it was one in Dublin. This guy on craigslist set up a time for me to get it and then sold it before I could drive there! But the one I ended up getting is way better!

Candra- That is how my son is too in some way. There are 5 main areas of the spectrum, but there are tons of sub areas. My son has mostly speach issues but most people wouldn't know unless they are a professional or I told them. And you are right, they diagnose Autism like giving out candy on holloween, pretty much to every child that has a learning dissability and if they are not sure how to deal with it like they are ADD or ADHD ect. Also I know where I would have the pole (which are $100 BTW) but my hubby seems to think he can chose where it will goso I said untill he agrees with me I am not going to get it!

[MamaAsh 1]

Candra- What do you do for the carb detox?

[smallerj 2]

what happened? I log on and I'm the only one here. Where is everybody.

[tamra. 6]

Candra I don't mind bringing her its just when she's bad I get super embarassed lol.
