Watching Dr. Oz - gonna learn how to go from a size 16 to a size 6 in weeks hahahaha. Maybe days since i'm starting out at a 14 & not a 16.... Will keep you posted.

Let me know how that works out candra lol.!!!

[Desperate1 1]

She did it in 12 weeks but you know Dr. Oz never really tells details - she does 10,000 steps and eats Fiber wraps - that's all I got out of it -

Now I'm watching the doctors and the Plastic Surgeon just told some lady who was considering getting the band - her questions wasn't about the band, it was about weather or not it's ok to get it done in Mexico - he said stay close to home and get bypass! It's a proven method and the band dependent on some medical devise. Lucky I couldn't reach thru the tube and smack him - you get your email?

OMG, Reggie - I'm out of rice - I'm having withdrawls LOL. How's Rocky treatin ya? Rambo is on va-ca!

[MamaAsh 1]

Lol Candra you are too funny! What are fiber wraps?

Reggie i desprately need your chicken recipe, the one you made when we all came over a while back!

This morning I was 229!!!!! 4 more lbs to goal. So I called and talked to the apt. mgr and she said she will put my file on Dr. Chu's desk but to make sure that I go down and get an official weigh in to prove I'm at goal when it happens. I have someone I meet recently who was sleeved by Dr. Chu and she said that she was in pain too... Kinda scary :scared2:

Reggie, Candra, to know me is to love me :scared2: just keeping it real....

Candra that's funny you mentioned the Doctors. In the last day or so I found out John Daly the golfer has the band and now the coach for the NY Jets got it the other day. I guess it's only key if you follow sports. Just seems like it's all I hear on the TV lately. Really getting popular.

Nicolie how ya doing? missing the hubby? Guess you'll have to honeymoon all over.

Yeah John warm up to Dr Who for Nicolie.... hehehe

Today has been a much better day food wise for me. I'm slowly getting off the carbs this week. My exercise has been real good I walked the bridge Sat, Sun & Mon. Only thing is I may have tweaked my achilles heel. I can hardly put pressure on it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Heather, I eat in front of the computer all the time it's the only thing that will slow me down.

ok my food for today...

B=DECALF coffee yippie!!, laughing cow light cheese wedge

L=inside of one soft taco

s=handfull of cashews (not so good)

D=got a pc of grilled chicken warming in the oven.

[smallerj 2]

Doesn't seem right that I'm baking cupcakes while watching The Big.gest Lo.ser. Aaaaand I didn't go to the gym tonight either. I've just not felt well, gotta kick that though! I'm going tomorrow night no matter what!

I bought a pork tenderloin the other day and marinated half in teriyaki and grilled it(served with brown rice and veggies) and the other half in the costco pesto (ala Reggie's chicken) and baked it. Yum-o. All I can say. I even have just the right amount for leftovers.

I'm excited about Saturday! I have friends in the area so not only do I get my band ladies fix, but I get to see them too!

Candra- about Dr. Oz... lolz. It's all in the fiber wraps! Do you think that'll get me from a 20/22 to a 12 in 12 weeks? 'Cause I'd be down with that!

Do you guys remember when Angel talked about the triathalon she did? It was the Tri Girl Tri (love the name) and I had decided that I'd do it this year, even if it's as a relay team. I just looked up the date and it's the same day as my friend's wedding! Booo. Maybe I should be training now for next year's! That swim thing scares me. I also will be doing a 5k on 7/4 again this year, my goal is to run the whole thing. (Don't tell Liz, I bet she'll say I'm too fat to run) I've been getting the urge to run more, so I take that as a great sign.

Gotta go, my oven dinged. (So bad... I know, but I'm making the cupcakes so we don't have to move so much food! I'm making dinner from the stuff in the freezer and other things I've stocked up on. Hope to be in the new house in under 1 month... Yay!) Oh, and I'm sending the cupcakes in to work with the fella and to my office too.

[Desperate1 1]

Oh, Heather, if the fiber wraps worked I'd be down to try em but you know there was alot more to what she did than that - again, Dr. Oz never quite divulges ALL the info - like, what happens when you're an addict - I never hear him dealing with the mental part of it. I wish that show "the swan" was still around - sure would love to be a swan! Moving is no fun Heather so i don't envy you that but owning your own home and being the only ones responsible to fix the roof, the blumbing, etc... Is just such a joy LMAO

Ash, I could use ALL of Reggies recipes - sure would be nice to know how to cook - then maybe I wouldn't be eating such junk!

Hey reggie - Have you ever been to Teavana there is Sac? I was doing a little research for bridezilla's tea party and i think I'm about to be a searious tea drinker - they have a Rooibos tea that is Tiramisu flavored. What? Tiramisu without all the carbs & calories - and if I'm correct, Rooibos tea's are Decaf and good for you! Woo Hoo - I say we need to make a trip over there.

JES - that's what i love so much about you - so keep it real my friend - lemme tell you that I KNOW i've put on a few the way I've been eating lately but I have yet to step on the scale - chicken! Anyway, when I tried on my body magic and couldn't get it closed I freaked out - I thought WTF?? Have I really gained that much weight. I was near tears when I looked at the tag and realized it was 2 sizes smaller that it was suppose to me LMAO. I was truly bout to pass a brick if you know what I mean.

My sometimers is kickin in - can't remember what I wanted to say

I'll tell you this, I tried/am trying to eat a piece of the almond bread the my friggin neighbor insisted on bringing me but Rambo ain't havin it - he's back!

Tomorrow I'm back on my 4 Protein mini meals - the bread is goin in the garbage, all the cake & rice I got from Reggie is sadly gone so no more carbs for me - i may even start working out again hahahaha

Good Morning everyone!

I can't believe it's been a month since John and I had surgery. In retrospect it's gone pretty quickly for me. Yesterday was my first day official day of soft foods. I overate at two meals. lunch was 3 oz of meatloaf that wanted to come back up for about 4 hours. dinner was 3 oz of tilapia. That was too dense as well. I guess today I have to get out that 1/4 cup measuring cup.

I'm down 18.2 pounds for the month. I'm definitely not complaining. Weight loss has slowed to around 2.5 pounds a week. I've never lost that much before, so no complaints. Working 8 hours a day, I haven't had much energy for exercise so I'm hoping to change that in month 2.

John, I know you're going to blow me out of the Water with 30 pounds or something phenomenal. Good luck going back to work this week!

Good luck on decarbing to those of you that are on that path!

Have a fun day!

[tamra. 6]

18.2 Lee thats AWESOME!! you have passed me, and I am 2 months out :scared2: That is so cool, will you be coming Sat for the walk?

I have been up since 6, babysitting my friends 2 month old.

Breakfast: 1 grande skinny latte (at 6 am) but got hungry so some bacon, and a cheese stick

Happy St Patty day! this is the first time EVER I can think of NOT having a CORNED BEEF!! I cant stop at 4 oz, so it's probably better I dont have it.

[tamra. 6]

Oh and my bf took my scale to the new house already so I cant weigh myself everyday like I was...I have no idea what I weigh, or how much I gained...LOL...its bitter sweet.

I am going to try and avoid the scale until I see Dr Baggs in May....wish me luck!
