Hi All

Nicole/CoCo - Congratulations - so glad it went smoothly and you are home safe and sound. Sending postive thoughts and prayers. You are now officially one of the banded triplets of 2010 (Tamra, Pat and CoCo!). We love our newest triplet!

Tamra - good job on more Protein. Let me know how the chicken and gravy goes.

Dear Robin called today and said I can advance to stage III on Thursday. AAAARRRGGG - I more day of Soup. I am white knuckling it - this is hard!

Ok gotta go - going to meet some girlfriends for dinner - but I'm bringing my little 1/2 c of soup - boohoo!!

[tamra. 6]

Pat ~ Way to go! She told me one more day and I had already introduced myself to stage 3, so I said oh well!

I ended up doing a precooked pork roast with BBQ sauce; it was like 3 grams sugar, cals were like 160 but for 1 cup. Its soooo good I need to slow down I am eating like I haven't had pork before LOL. It pureed decent off the BBQ Sauce, still having to chew it really well....mmmmm so good!!!

15 mins on my treadmill after dinner!

Tamra, What's with the fries!? I didn't see that on stage 3 lol. I don't mean to nag you I just want you to succeed! If they're hard to stay away from dont get them for your daughter, she doesn't need them either!

[tamra. 6]

yeah I hear ya Heather, my daughter is going thru a faze where she will only eat: Apples, Hot dogs, Marshmellows, and fries/chicken nuggets. Its hard to get her to eat, I guess kids go thru a picky faze. But she usually only gets the happy meals when she has been good.

I did 1 mile (30 mins) on my treadmill, and burned like 150 cals...lol..I did a small incline, but I got tired quick. I am working my way up, 15 yesterday, 30 today!

[smallerj 2]

here's my food for today...

B=atkins shake, skinny V Latte (tall)

L= 1 cup Tomato Soup w/ cheese on top

D= 2 pc cod fish

S=sf fudge pop

so not too bad... I wanted to do all Soup but I was so ready to chew when I got home dove right into the fish without thinking. Didn't have any sides tho. Starting over is no joke. I've already made a salad for tomorrow with crab on top.

I noticed that even though I was hungry I could feel my band. I just need to take it one day at a time.

Congrats Nicolie.....be sure to walk ALOT

Tamra, I'm not trying to nag either but those carbs are not your friend, take it from me. Try to stick with Protein. Yay on the treadmill!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mo where are you?

Oh this weekend is supposed to be rain free anybody up for a walk?

Ok so I need to be consistant... so I'm going to TRY and start writing what I ate/did today..

B-half a chicken breast sandwich on wheat

L-other half of sandwich

D-1 cup of bitter melon and shrimp

S-Sugar free popsicle

30- min on stairclimber "fat burner mode"

25- min on elliptical 2.93 miles

5- min on ab circle pro

I emailed Dr.Park and let her know where I'm at and my weight and everything. She emailed me right back and told me she wants me to start a 1000 calorie diet now.

So... I start that now.

I wanted to go to the meeting sooo BAD this month but that's the day i'm performing for Kaiser I'm not sure about the time though so If its later on in the day I'LL DEFINATELY BE THERE!!

It feels good to be back... *sigh* ~.~

Hey all!

No time to post. Just reading to catch up. Today was horrible for me...Long story short! I spent the entire day in emergency. My baby has RSV and a bilateral ear infection. I have had no rest and minimal food. I may have blown it with the 1/2 cheeseburger and chocolate covered almonds I just ate. I'm such an emotional eater. Oh well, tomorrow..............

[singand_dance 8]

Oh no Mo! (What's RSV?) How's baby doing tonight?

[tamra. 6]

OH NO!! sorry about the babe Monique, my daughter had the ear infection too, but only a sinus infection! Take care of that lil' one! She had a horrible cough like RSV tho!

Heather - Respiratory syncytial virus. Treated with breathing machines, oxygen, etc. it's bad when its in babies, Adults handle it different.

Analynn - 1000 cal now!? sheesh! good luck! you can do this!! Yep me, Nicollie, and Pat all done this year so far. John and Lee are Feb 17th, so 2 more going in soon, let's get you going!!!

[momcof3 1]

Good to see you on line already Nicole - wow you got 5 cc in your band at surgery - you should be almost to your sweet spot already. Keep using your spirometer so you don't get pneumonia.

Hope your baby is doing better Mo - take care of yourself too.

Someone else this morning said I look like I have lost more weight - the scale was actually up a pound today so I must be losing inches. We went to the gym last night - I only did half an hour on the elliptical as I wasn't feeling too good to start with.
