frozen yogurt is so yummy. My mom, daughter and I went to Kohl's this afternoon - I found three tops for myself on clearance - one was a t-shirt that was $1. I tried on a red v-neck shirt that was a XL and it was too big - I heard Nicole and Candra in my mind telling me it was too big - I didn't get it.

Yuck, have to go back to work tomorrow and this Friday isn't a furlough Friday. I booked my daughter's party at Sky High in Rancho Cordova for next Sat at 4:30 - if I am brave enough I may jump too. We are bringing a homemade cake with us and they provide the pizza and Water bottles. She is so excited and is passing out the invites tomorrow -kind of short turn around time, but at least they won't forget.

Better get up and make something for my kids for dinner - cooking was much more fun when I could eat all kinds of foods. I think I'll have --- tuna for dinner. :rolleyes:

hey there ladies, had a good day today. I went ahead and walked this morning....it was freezing but I made it and I'm so glad I did.

Tamra, yea I think you need to change things up a bit. Chris or Nicole, can't remember, I like that idea of doing a different amt of calories each day. That's got to help all of us at a plateau.

My husband is sitting here watching Nat Geo, Population zero. This is some funky stuff. They are talking about what the earth would be like after humans are gone...WOW...this is deep.

ok I'm drawing a blank...I need to go back a couple posts LOL

Good, Pammie - glad you didn't get the too big shirt!

Tina - you did great in the fitting department. Those pants you had on looked great on you!

My step daugter is here and we are making Champagne Celebration cake - I trial run for the engagement party - gotta try to stay away from that. Got my french onion Soup cooking in the crock pot - it's gonna be so good tomorrow - yummy

Lol. At least you told the group! You didn't just eat all that in shame.

I'm finding I have to remind myself that every calorie counts. Like somehow if I eat some shreaded cheese before I put it on my eggs, it doesn't count. Logical right?:rolleyes:

Just keep at it, don't get discouraged! Do some extra cardio tonight to make up for it.

I love my turbo jam! But I don't do it that often, which is wierd. I usually do the bike or the elliptical at the gym. And I love my Wii Active. I should whip out the Turbo Jam again.

Ok girls, I'm feeling better about my band tonight. I don't know what was going on at lunch today but I was fine at dinner tonight. We went to my parents for Sunday dinner and my mom made chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, caesar salad, asparagus and corn on the cob.

I was able to eat about 2-3 oz of the steak cut into pea-sized pieces and about 2 tbsp of the mashed potatoes and 1/2 a piece of asparagus (the tip that's less fibrous).

It took me about 15-20 minutes to eat it but I did fine and never got stuck or slimed. Cool, huh? I don't know what the heck was going on at lunch! We'll see how my band does tomorrow...it's a finicky little thing isn't it?

Good morning....everyone's so quite. Monday morning blues?

So I've vowed to have a good week, bringing my lunch everyday. I already had my Atkins shake and a few nuts for breakfast, now I have to hold out until lunch.

I've decided to tell my job about my hernia surgery today because I want to get the paperwork all filled out in advance. :biggrin:

ok, busy day, 4 people coming in for interviews. I'll check back with you all later.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
