Yikes, I turn the computer on and it says it's 5 degrees outside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Denise, don't feel bad. I won't be going either. Maybe you and I should figure out a time that we could get away together. LOL. Not to much going on today. I have a staff meeting and than I work the late shift. Other than that it's drink, drink and drink. (water). Have a great day and don't forget it's CTCD.

Add Tequila :cursing: Why don't you try a V8.

I hate when I can't get on this site. Drives me crazy. So, it may be a road trip for Tracy???? Wish I could go.

Haydee, My sisters want me to tell you Thank You for the very lovely clothes. They aren't into my style of clothes and hate when I offer them my cast-offs. I let them go thru and pick out what they wanted and they just about cleaned out the box. I can't thank you enough for what you did.

Just stopping by to check in. It'sbeen a really bad eating day, however I did go for a walk in the park with doggie. Pam, I use the little glass serving bowls from "Pampered Chef". They are 1/2 cup servings. So that is how I eat my cottage chees and afew other things. Just put it in up to the line and I'm done.

Morning Girls, Long day for me yesterday and I really ejoyed it. Kept me busy so I wasn't snacking all day. Did excellent on my eating. Went to the montly support meeting and the first person I saw was Robbie. What a pleasant surprise. It was a really good meeting and am really glad I went. I think Tracy had a good time too, she might "ride that bike for all it's worth". :thumbup: Nice lazy day here today for us. Not much to do Haydee. I agree, that is still not a bad pic of you. Jenn, can you pick Judy up in Detroit and travel with her? TracyK, sounds like you might be feeling a little better????? Janie, Hope you have a nice peaceful quiet day and get some rest. Everyone have a great day and make good choices. I love that saying, "Repect the Pouch".

Morning Girls, Up and trying to get my butt moving. I'll be leaving here soon to go to Curves for my workout. Than I have a full day. One of those things is going with the nextdoor neighbor to her sons Baketball game at the high school. Pam, you better quit tempting all of us. You may be surprised sometime with a knock on the door and us all standing there in our shorts and t-shirts waitng for the Margi's Terri, Hugs to you. TrackyK, Keeping fingers crossed you neck gets better. Michelle, We Frontlined all 3 kitties last night and they are still mad this morning. They can't figure out why we aren't petting them. I was laying in bed this morning thinking to myself how I haven't had the best last 4months with my weight loss. I actually gained 4 pounds in that amount of time. But I thought to myself that had I not had my Band, that that lost of 4 would certainly would have been a 40 pound weight gain. I've seen this happen before, lose to only gain it back faster. I Love my Band. Everyone have a great day.

Hey all. Haydee, I love the clothes. You have the most wonderful taste in clothing (and friends). I've already tried on a couple and will finish going thru all of them in the morning. My friend Mary came over and we went to lunch at 54th St. Bar & Grill. Had the soup & salad. Very Yummy. We than took doggie for a mile walk and than came back to the house. She didn't leave for 4 more hours. I love her dearly but that is her worst trait. Not knowing when to leave. We did have a good time though. Michelle, keeping my fingers crossed for Mo. I hope all works out for both of you. Janie, So sorry for your nephew. Seems like a long sentence for something that they know he didn't intentionally do. Hopefully his appeal will go by fast. Everyone have a great weekend.

Good Morning Girls, Just about ready to leave for work and than a friend of mine is coming over when I get home. We will probably go out to lunch. She loves mexican as much as I do. So that is probably where we will be. Not much else going on. Sun is shining today and it's supposed to be somewhat warm, 50's-ish. Hopefully I can take doggie for a walk later. Have a great day.

Terry's Back.

Look Ma, No cavities. Went to the dentist today and I got a clean bill of health. Hubby on the other hand has to have some work done. Starting with next wednesday having a tooth pulled and a bridge made for it. Poor thing. Maybe now he will realize he needs ot take better care of his teeth. I'll look up what the dream meant here soon. Kat, congrats on the new baby but sorry there was so much drama surrounding his birth. Hope everything is ok with your Dad. The rest of the day is a lazy one for me. I have some cleaning to do in my bedroom but right now hubby is napping, so I guess I'll just have to wait for a little while. Have a great rest of the day.

Laura, You could call them and tell them it was a gift and see if they will give you an in-store gift card for it. Or tell you gma that you need the receipt because it is broke and you need to return it. Than if she ask, just tell her they didn't have anymore and you bought something close to it.

Went to work and than to Wal-mart to return an I-pod I bought. Came home and the Schwan's man showed up. Now I'm doing some laundry and than it a little nap for me. We work at the hospital tonight. Got on the scale this morning and I liked what I saw. I guess my kick in the butt the other day is showing up. I'll wait a few more day and weigh again and than change my ticker. Report- 2 cups of cocoa 1 string cheese 3 crackers 50 ounces of water (doing good) Jenn, Way to go girl. Janie, Every now and than I have one of those melt downs and after all the crying and I pull myself together, I actually am glad I had it. I know it doesn't take care of what caused it but I have a clearer head and am not looking at things so emotionally. Hope today is a better day for you. Everyone have a great day.

Judy, I meant to tell you Thank You for the links to the crock pot recipes. I'm gonna try the meatloaf someday. Report- 2 lowfat hot chocolates 35 calories each 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and half a pear I will take in a Slim Fast to work with me for my dinner. Oh, and lots of water.

That is where I'm at also. I had a great childhood and wouldn't change it for the world. I just for some reason can't figure out WHy I feel this need to eat, eat anything and as much as I want. It's not a void I'm trying to fill or a deep dark secret I'm trying to cover up. I just have this need to eat. Hopefully this new Doc will point me in the right direction.

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm a completely ashamed failure. I am also the worlds worst person at this band thing. I can't believe after doing 4 days on the pouch test that I didn't even come close to doing as well at the weight loss as you guys did. I did really good on the diet, infact I was so proud of myself for how well I was doing. Than BAM. I get on the scale at the Doc's office and it was not pretty. We had another good long talk and he is such a nice guy. I hate dissappointing him. I ended up not getting a fill. I am very comfortable with were I'm at, I just still have this need to eat like I did pre-band. Going back to my old habits. This is why I'm seeing the Psyhc next week. Too see what is going on in my head. Why I'm doing this. But I did learn with the pouch test that my band is good. There's nothing wrong with it, just me not treating it the way we are supposed to. I did watch Oprah last night and agree with all of you. However she did have Carney Wilson on and she had the gastric by-pass. Maybe that's Oprah's suttle way of saying she's ok with people doing that. That it is an option. Just wish she would have some banded people on her show. So today I am starting my 5 day pouch test over again. I need to start somewhere and I think this is a good place. If it wasn't 28 degrees right now I would go for a mile and a half walk. I work tonight so I guess I'll workout there. I got from my SS a book on dreams, a book on secret santas. A 2009 calendar that you add sequins too and than hang up. A bathroom set that included a bath pillow, eye cover and a head band to hold you hair up. A cool coffe cup the I use everyday. Tea. Bath salts, A wishing star and tha most beautiful letter. Made me tear up. I was so lucky to have had Kat as my SS. Everyone have a great day. I'm going to work on getting over my exterme dissapointment and get my BUTT back on track. Love you guys and thanks for being there for me.

Up and getting ready for work. I have a very busy day ahead of me so I won't be on here. Don't panic, I'll be back this evening. You can't get rid of me that easliy. I'm a bad penny. I also agree with Terri. This 5 day diet has been an eye opener for me. I know realize that I have to devote all my energy to this. And really pay attention to not so much of how much I put in my mouth but WHAT I put in my mouth. Think I'm gonna stick with the soft proteins and soups for a few more days. Jenn, Hope you get to feeling better real soon so that you can concentrate more on this relationship. Sounds like he might be a keeper. Kat, I'm sending you my purple power. Sounds like you need a big Violet Hug. Everyone have a great day and I'll let you know about my Doc appointment later tonight.

Sorry, I'm watching recorded tv shows. I'm not sure how to view them, I haven't gone and looked yet.

I'm Suzanne. You're not talking about me are you?????? I just got up and put another log on the fire, back to my chair now and more football. Wow, football and not all the munchies that goes with it?? WTH would Jimmy, Terry and Howie think?? Did real good on my eating today and than I found a small bowl of chex-mix. I just had to finish that off. Yea-right. That's ok, still puts my way under a good calorie intake for the day. I freecycled some christmas stuff and it's out sitting on the front porch for the person to come and pick up. Not sure whoever started it but I love it and never have to worry about throwing anything out. Just post it and someone comes and gets it. When we took our chain-link fence down, I posted it and a little old couple that lives about 40 miles from here came and got it. They took someother stuff that I hadn't even had time to list. No more dump trips for us, just freecycle it.

I was so excited this morning knowing that I was going to be able to eat soft proteins today. So I made scrambled eggs and put in some chopped ham. It took me at least fifteen minutes to eat 2 scrambled eggs. Now I'm hurting, not pb hurting. Just a big glob in my chest hurting. It's a good thing we can't have anything to drink for 30 minutes. That would send me to the bathroom for sure. Kat, I should be finishing my project today. When I'm done I will post a pic of it. I've had fun doing it because I have never done anything like this. Hubby really likes it alot. I have Doc appointment for a fill tomorrow which I'm sure I won't be getting one. I think the last few days on this diet has shown me "HOW" to be a very good bandster and to take care of my band and to realize that my BAND is in control and not me. If I would just quit force feeding it, we would get along just fine. So I will update my ticker tomorrow. Have a great day.

Second day for me and I'm still doing great. 1 protein shake 1 circuit at Curves water water 1 bowl of soup water water 1 bowl of soup Lifesavers We took doggie and went to "PetSmart" he was so funny there. I got a few toys for the kitties so they are all zoned out right now on the catnip. Haydee, so glad you are back. I missed you. I need to go read the rules for tomorrows eating. We get to go to solid proteins now, right? I'll read up on it.

Jenn, So glad you are home and that all went well. I was really surprised, I would have thought you would have been there a day or two. Here's to a fast recovery.

Thanks Judy, I needed that.

So far so good. 1 thirty minute round at Curves 1 SlimFast 2 20 ounce bottles of water Mile and a half walk with doggie 1 Kashi Protein Shake 1 20 ounce bottle of water 5 lifesavers I'm pretty proud of myself. Just wish I could do this good everyday.
