  1. Hubby getting YOU to go to goodwill..... ROFLMAO
  2. YeAH YOU! Amazing feeling to have the power this tool provides!
  3. As of this morning I have lost 101 pounds! I was going to make the 100 pound announcement but the scale unstuck and blew by it! I am so FREAKIN happy I can't tell you! I am going to go shopping! :Banane30:
  4. Trust me it is NOT just the calcium and iron that is plugging you up, it is the sudden consumption to protein to carb ratio. It will all balance out but it takes a few months. Miralax is a is my savior on that subject!
  5. KUDOS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just thinking at dinner tonight some phrases for success, "celebrate enjoying less" Don't morn what you can't fit in, enjoy what you can! Less is MORE! In SO many ways! Slow down and savor the flavor!
  6. No sugar does not do anything to the sleeve, however most of us try to stay on 30 grams or less of carbs a day post op and a couple tsps of sugar will blow through that . Sugar is huge amounts of calories in small amounts of foods and because it raises or blood sugar levels it stores as fat in the body and really, really slows down weight loss if not stopping it.
  7. You will find lots of healthy food options. Many chicken and fish dishes. You will also find many unhealthy choices With that said you are GOING TO HAWAII! Live it up and at least have a bite of this or that!
  8. Contact the company, they had a bad batch and they will replace direct to your door, no charge. I drink them every day!
  9. For the fist time since Novemeber, Yes I cheated. I had some Jelly Beans, a small rice Krispie treat and some sweet tart candies. NOW I AM DONE! I have a healthy turkey meal planned tomorrow with no carbs.
  10. I used regular coconut milk. Now mind you this makes an 11x 13 dish of Haupia and a serving size is a one inch square. I figured that out to be about 35 calories a square. Also it is the good kind of fat so a one inch sqaure is not going to do you in.
  11. I am not sure of the cause, effect factor on this one but I went the eye doc today and my eyes had improved! Not just a little, a lOT. I dropped from 3.50 to 2.50 ! UNREAL I am 47 and my eyes GOT BETTER! I am off all blood pressure meds, off metformin for sugar control and working out LOTS compared to the past. So I am not sure if it is medication, blood sugar or fitness and weigh loss or a little bit of everything. 2 years ago I had a blood vessel collapse in my eye from high blood pressure causing some visual loss, so an improvement like this is big for me. Really gets me to thinking just how our weight and health can effect EVERY part of the body.
  12. I never asked for the card, I just don't think I need to share my life with strangers for a discount. I choose wisely and spread a meal out over 3 meals or I share a meal, depending whom I am with.
  13. I do enjoy going out. I have learned to savoir those few bits, to really feel the food, the taste the smell and to be completely satisfied in just a few bites, but making those bites last 30 minutes. Don't give up yet! Wrap your head around the moment, not the food.
  14. Haupia (Ha poo e a ) is a Hawaiian dessert that I tried when I was in Maui. Recently I had been looking up how to make it and decided to try it at home with splenda instead of sugar and as it turns out, it works just fine! It is a pudding type Desserts that sets like a firm Gelatin. 1 16 oz can of Coconut milk 1 16 oz milk 9 packets of splenda 6 tsps of cornstartch Mix milks together in a blender, whip them. Mix Spleda and corn starch together well ( I used my bullet) Pour Milks into a pan on high heat and then mix in the dry ingredients. Stir constantly until mixture thickens and then pour into a baking dish. Cover dish and cool 4 hours in the refrigerator. Cut into one inch squares and serve. Not only is this a good DESSERT, It is a DESSERT that is good for you!
  15. Congrats! Take some time and stare at yourself in those smaller scrubs,, before you know it you will be in a 1x!
  16. I keep forgetting that I can do that. For 20 years I always headed to the woman's section or Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug places. I keep forgetting I can go most any where now! As I had stated before I bought a bike and I am pretty darn serious about it so while at the bike shop I was able to buy a pair of biking pants right off the rack,, just blew my mind! Then tonight I went out to get a new pair of tennis shoes and I have lost a shoe size and gone from a wide with to a B width! Blows my mind! I went to Dick's sporting goods, in the past I was intimidated to even walk into a sporting goods place. I got the Reebock easy toner shoes, and I said what the heck and bought a pair of easytone pants too! What I still cant wrap my head around is being able to walk to a rack in a sporting goods store and buy a pair of anything having fit, not to mention using the clothes to actually work out in!
  17. I could not make my doctors group times on Saturdays. Recently a couple of us from Dr. Guske;s office in Schaumburg IL started our own mini meetings and it has been great to share and mentor others!
  18. Congrats! You are glowing!
  19. You are so blessed to have a partner in this (even if you ar bad together at times). My husband has removed himself from the process and refused to compliment me and just drank a McDonalds shake in front of me.
  20. When you get to eating meat, when you start centering your meals around protein you will HAVE RESTRICTION. You will be suprised how different solids feel. Now wrap your head around the end goal and get all the carbs out of the house!
  21. From the beggining, HAPPIER in life in General. Confidant. Trying all kinds of new things, bought a bike and got on never looked back. I find a hop in my step or swagger. I know look in the mirror instead of avoiding it. People pleaser , I am afraid it is ingrained in my essence, but starting to put me first. ENERGY! OMG tonight it is bad here so I did not get out to walk or bike so I found my self pushing several carts back into the store, AS A FAVOR TO ME! Making cup cakes, cleaning the house, serving the husband a dinner, planning for tomorrow, it is 930 I am I have been up since 5:00 and I am still going. I LIKE the few clothes I have. Miss being obese, never! I may actually be the person who puts on the bunny costume for the kids tomorrow.
  22. I got a Releigh 21 speed with front and seat suspension, I had them add an odometer { who knew they are digital now?} and a swivel mirror.
  23. First I emptied my closet 2 days ago, literally empty. So today I decide to go rent a bike and take a bike ride to see how that feels since it has been over 20 years since I had been on one. I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I went 7 miles! Trouble is when I got back to the bike place I rewarded myself with a 400.00 bike! I said what the H E double tooth picks,, this is my reward for 96 pounds gone!
  24. Mine came like clock work the first month and have not had one since ( 3 months now), but that is fine by me. I am not using the baby making parts anymore and that means no pms or acne attacks!
  25. I am all about getting everything done at one time! Kinda two for the price of one!
