Oh, and thanks, guys about my pic! Y'all are the greatest!

Icing is the bad stuff. That little piece of cake satisfied you and probably kept you from eating a whole bunch of other junk. So it's all good!

Awesome job, Tracy!!! Yeah, I smoked for 14 years and I quit about 14 years ago. it was easy enough since I had to make the decision to smoke or breathe. Doing both wasn't working since my asthma reappeared and I had bronchitis on top of it. Cigarettes we can choose to have or not, food we must have daily...sucks! Kat, this has been going on for a week or so, hasn't it? Have you called a doc?

Thanks Michelle and Angela. I just finally put up another pic. I am so critical of myself. I hate pictures. It is so bad that I don't even have a before pic. The only pic I have is a month after I was banded and I had already lost 25 lbs or so. I have come so far, but still refuse to let people take pictures of me. It is so sad how we beat ourselves up. I don't know if I will ever truly be happy with myself, but I am satisfied with my weightloss enough, that if I never lose another pound, I will still be happy with where I am; but not enough to want to face myself in pictures...does any of that even make any sense? I don't see myself as others see me. It is weird. Cell phone service...I have T-mobile and it sucks bad, but I hate to change. I have unlimited text on all 4 phones for a total of 9.99 a month. My total bill for all phones is $114. I would love to have a fancy, schmancy phone with all of the web and crap, but refuse to pay more, so it isn't going to happen. Well, I am off to work in my classroom. Have a good Sunday, my dear ladies and Plain.

Congratulations, Shar. That is amazing! I am glad you were able to let all of that go,and it sounds like it has been extremely freeing for you. I hate to think about the time I have spent hating myself... must be 30 years or so. Sad.

Well, it was an absolutely amazing day for football here in the bayou, my good people. First, BAMA got their butts handed to them on a platter (that is always wonderful news to a tiger fan)and THEN, LSU beat Florida!!!! Yes, it will hopefully wipe away a little of the embarrassment we felt after last week's sad win. I hope you are all having a nice weekend. I have to get up fairly early tomorrow and drive 30 miles to go work in my classroom. I have so much to do!

I just realized I folded 40 articles of clothing and NOTHING WAS MINE!!! I have gone seriously wrong somewhere in the raising of my children that I don't have them doing this...mmmmm....must rethink this.

Neen, I saw your pic on the before and after thread...awesome job!

YAY!!!:biggrin:

I wish he would listen to you also. He either needs to support you by not bringing the stuff in the house, or get off you back about not eating correctly. It really isn't fair of him to bring it in and then nag if you eat it. I really think on some level my husband wants me to gain some weight back. It seems as if maybe he feels a little threatened since I look so much better. He always did this in the past. If I lost weight, he would start bringing ice cream in the house and I would cave. I eat it now, but I am not gaining since I just don't eat an entire meal and then the ice cream too. I am at the point now, where he is going to have to stop bringing it home. My daughter also has a weakness for it and she doesn't like it being here either. Thank you. You have just made me realize I need to put my foot down again. NO MORE ICE CREAM IN MY FREEZER, DANGIT!!!:thumbup:

I hope you start to like your job. It sucks to go to a place everyday that you don't like. Well then, according to your doc, I can have Peanut Butter Pumpkins, cuz they are brown and beige:tt2: I used to LOVE water aerobics, but I don't have access to a pool any more.

Welcome, and an early good morning to you!

G'morning, Jenn. Good luck on your test today!

You certainly deserve the rest and that banana bread sounds yummy.:thumbdown:

I just buy the generic children's ibuprofen. For the dosage, I take 400mg (4tsp) which is the adult dosage I take when I take pills. There are 200 mg for each pill and i ALWAYS take a minimum of 400 mg when I take the pills.

We are sitting here in sweats as well, even though it is only in the 50s outside. I won't turn the heater on until dh cleans it, so he said it is definitely getting cleaned TODAY. Oh, and my sunburn from the game yesterday has me looking quite a bit like a crazy raccoon. :smile2: I love the pic. She looks amazing, and yes, tall. I hope she had a great time.

Well, my ladies and Plain...I realized I don't really LIKE daytime games. I am sunburnt and freckled now. Not a really good look for me.:smile2: It was also quite an embarrassing game, but we DID win, so it's all good in the end. I am attaching a pre-burnt pic of me and dh. This is before kick-off...by half time I was burnt! Tailgating can really wear you out! It is shower and bed time!

I luckily have never liked fair food. If you go, I hope you have fun. My family and I are going to the LSU-Tenn game tomorrow. DH got 6 free tickets on the 40 yd line...$300 worth. It will be the first game I have gone to in a few years. DD says her hubby is on cloud 9. He has been wanting tickets so bad and now he gets to go. I am more excited for him than for any of the rest of us. His Christmas tree is even LSU purple and gold...he is a little of a freak:w00t:

I got on this morning and read about 4 pages. I am going to try to catch up. I read about your pbing on there that you posted over a week ago. You posted briefly about it on here, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Did you get that under control? Next time, try some liquid ibuprofen for a day or so to help reduce the swelling to try to break the pb, swelling cycle. I hope you are feeling better and I am glad the work situation is getting better.

It is great to have you back! Your random act of kindness will be repaid tenfold. You are, as they say, good people.

Tracy, I am sorry you are experiencing that. Remind me, meds changed or none at all? Hun, if it continues, please see your doc, because the dang meds take weeks to kick in and I hate to see you this down for this long. Ok ladies, I found the original recipe on allrecipes.com but then I modified it to suit myself. 1 pound ground beef 1 pound bacon, diced 1 medium onion, chopped (I sautee this in a little of the bacon grease) 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (more if you like) 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1/2 teaspoon pepper (start with this, but I usually add more) 1 teaspoon chili powder 3 (16 ounce) can pork and beans, undrained 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained 1 (16 ounce) can Great Northern or pinto beans,drained Cook the ground meat and set it aside, then cook the bacon. Sautee the onion. Then mix all the ingredients together and put in either a baking dish or a crockpot. The recipe calls to bake it for about an hour at 400, but I always put mine in the crockpot and I like it that way. I cooked on high for an hour to heat it, then I cooked them all day in my classroom yesterday on low and they were fantastic.

I was following the here to help thread last year when they went to Florida and then didn't post for a while and just couldn't catch up:sad:. I really like the people there.

It is 9o'clock and I just got home from work. We had family dinner night, so I got up at 4:20 this morning and cooked a pound of bacon and a pound of ground round, sauteed an onion and mixed up the seasonings and beans for baked beans. I got permission to have a big crock pot in my room and they cooked all day. The whole dang hall smelled so good. So, this evening we entertained and fed about 200 people. Everyone brought something. It was a big potluck dinner. It was fun, and I enjoyed it, but I am exhausted. I live 45 minutes from work so, yeah. As far as keeping Alex close to home, I was lucky that she bleeds purple and gold. She didn't even apply anywhere else. She refused to go to anywhere but LSU! Lucky me!

Goodnight! You know you will be back up soon. Try to get some sleep.
