hola all quiet here today... how are ya'll doing? I went for my walk, went to the gym, and made meatballs to put in the sauce that has been cooking since last night, going to take my toilet out tonight so I can take the floor up tomorrow. not going to the gym tomorrow, only going 3 days a week, so will just do my walk tomorrow what are ya'll to tonight?

That is crazy... did they sign their name? are they still employed? what is wrong with people?

Haydee - that sounds like a nice relaxing trip, have fun!

thanks Suzanne I am going to start journaling, not my food, I eat the same thing day in and out... but just my feelings and thoughts to get them out. I'm off to get ds up, get him ready and go for my walk when he gets on the bus, come back, make an egg, then off to the gym. Today is the day I'm heading back there. Tracy - I will call you when I get back in from my walk, aout 7:30 your time. xoxoxox

Tracy - hey sister, so glad to have you back, I'll talk to you in the am Suzanne - can you post your link for donations? i lost it wish all that was going on and I really want to send you some I can't wait for my cancer walk, I just have this need to get involved in something important. Ok Dan just left, he watched a girly movie with me... how funny is that. had a nice relaxing night! I'm trying to choke down 2.5 oz of chicken ... not sure if i'm going to get the rest down, I have been so good today and I'm eating now, why didn't i have some s/f ice cream instead??? well, ehope you all had a good weekend

ah... thanks you guys suzie - you know what a bad place I've been in with Kev for a very long time, and how long I've been trying to break away and just couldn't. I was not eating a ton but was total comfort food, chicken fingers, nachcos from the bar, which was much worse than my healthy nachos and onion chips. Getting that big fill got me back to healthy cooking for my children, but it has been a long time coming of soul searching to get back in the game. I know you have lots going on there too, and I have been journaling, and just thinking alot about how I want my life to be, and when I go for my walks alone, I just think about everything. I hope some of those tips help and if you want any good ideas of stuff everyone will eat that is good for you and the band, I would be happy to share that too. I still have a long way to go, family court is going to really mess with my head, but my best friend said she would take the morning off of work to go with me and take him down. LOL. she has seen all that I have been put through. Have a great Sunday everyone, I have to go get some school supplies

I had an absolutely wonderful time, I forgot what it was like to be with someone that is not hard work and actually grabs your hand and just walks and enjoys your company. Suzie- I wish I could figure out what has happened with me to get it together in August so I could share it with you. You know this journey has been horrible for me and all I can say is i have done a ton of soul searching the last yearand it has been a long time coming. What I do know is I want to like me for me, and I am no longer begging people to want to be with me, men and friends in general, Like me or dont, I care but don't anymore. I know I have friends who love me for me, and MR Right is out there and now that I am taking control of me, there are options out there for me. xoxoxox night

hi just want to say hello, and let you all know i am more than done with kev, we are not even speaking and i filed court papers. have lots of anger because he is not man enough to tell me anything other than he loves me and then falls off the face of the earth, but I'm done. going on a real date either tonight or tomorrow putting a big part of my "shit" behind me... Laura - that was well said... about the relationship thing

Morning gals Hi Josie, nice to have you here with us I'm from upstate NY, close to Albany.. up getting ready for a football game, cold rainy day here. Tracy - have fun, gonna call you Monday morning when the kids get on the bus Suzanne, thanks, I had a bad kev day again yesterday... ass... he called alexandra and she HATES him, how sad is that... and she hates him more for what he has done to me than for him not being around for her. anyway, I might go on a real date later... how nice is that? someone actually wants to take me out.

have a good afternoon

Hi Julie, welcome Good luck with your fill, I did liquids for 10 days then soft food for 10 days, now have a little lettuce with my tuna and I still can't eat much, I needed to go back to basics and it worked. Suzanne - thanks, it was great, lots of them, I had 1 guy tell me i was looking georgous as usual. So there is a guy that I like there, alot, and we have talked and on and off and he is busy, but he is Dan's boss (the guy from last night) I had several people say to me last night Marty was sorry he missed me and Dan just said one of the shop guys said to him his boss was going to be mad at him for messing with his woman. OK... I really like Marty, and have been flirting for a while, and he has back, but just not in a good place. I just don't want to mess that up, but shoot, I want to get out and go on a date, and Dan wants to take me out... what to do? I was thinking about leaving a message for Marty saying "I'm your girl?????" did I miss something...? I don't know what should I do?

Hi I use mp3 for walking, have a bunch of stuff, but love donna summers for walking, some old will smith, kc sunshine band... have a good day haydee - I'm sure you are loosing inches... did you take measurements when you started? I do mine every 2 weeks so I can track when the scale is stuck

Hi Shalee and Joan, nice to have you too This is a new start for me too. Hi Suzanne nice to see you As you guys know, I got a big fill for me on July 30th and am down 30lbs, I'm kind of stuck here again which is frustrating as heck, because I am not eating more than 1/2 cup of food and high Protein, and walking tons every day. Oh well So last night was the ribbon cutting ceremony - I had so many compliments on how I looked, got a date, and had one of the guys i saw every day ask the driver who asked me out who the girl was he was feeling her ass... OK ... he did not touch my butt, just pointed out he saw my tattoo on my back when I was working in the warehouse... but no offensive or even enjoyable touching.. but I was like... Kenny didn't know it was me???? that was all I got out of that.... My hair is not falling out anymore and my curls are back, last time i saw them my hair was pin staight and last night it was very curly. YEAH ME anyway... that was my last night I'm going to watch the weather and go for a walk. my entire day is off ... TT... sometimes I want one, and then I think of another surgery... I don't know... I am going to go for a consult for the smart lipo, I know people who had it done and the baby sag tightened right up, it is almost amazing. Anyway... Tracy have fun... i want to go play in the mud

Hi Tracy K .... my name is Jen and I am slightly out of control... can I join you????? :w00t: JK...I'm here... and I am newly single and have 2 great kids and live in Troy NY I was banded April 07... how strange is that... OK... I'm in a silly mood today... Tracy and I met here in Feb or March of 07 and have been on this Journey togther. I have met my Dr's goals and am now working on my personal goals, I am 13lbs away from the one I set back in 07 and then going to work for the next 25lbs and be happy... ok probably not, but I'll just wait to see how I feel when I get to that point. I'm homeless and am going to hang with you

just wanted to say hi

I still feel like some of this anger is at me I will be on facebook but I am going to leave for a bit so you guys can have Michelle back

Mroning gals no sunshine here today... so sad... wanted to spend the day floating in th pool. just went for my moning walk, did the little one, ok it is still 2.5 miles, just not all uphill like the one I do by myself. can't wait for school to start on Wed....

Good morning Heather that is absolutely horrid! I am sure that has to be swelling... Judy - I was cracking up.... I don't think I am going to get preggers again either...lol That is very scary though... seriously my thoughts ad prayers are with you all having problems

way to go Terry I had a salad that was too big today, OH wait... TOM started which makes it even tighter and I have been forcing myself to eat so I might do some liquids for the next couple of days. I want to get to 180 by the end of sept

Hi gals I'm exhausted, got up early for dd's football game, did some running around, walked, just ate a salad and going to shower and get ready for a bon fire. hope you all had a good day

Morning Go Jane Go Laura I have heard tht sone, love it too, actually I really just like the Dixie Chicks up early getting drinking coffee, have to go to dd's first football game. She looks stunning in her uniform this year

oh Laura that is just horrible about your friend/co-worker. Judy I know what you are saying, I've been way too cozy where I was, that was part of the problem. I think since this last bout of stuff with Kev I figured I need to like myself and part of my problem is i don't like the way i look... so jumpstart and very positive attitude about doing it for me, because I'll never let anyone in if I am not happy with me... so that is what it is all about for me, otherwise, I'd still be hovering

Gee Thanks...LOL It was the fill, and when I eat something different I go to my daily plate and log the meal so I know where I am at. (you can print out a daily report there too) Did you ever try children's liquid advil??? I don't take it often but when my body hurts from working out and I know I am not going to sleep I take it and no issues. Tylenol doesn't touch my muscle aches

Hi guys yeah, because of the lexapro I was back up to 218 the monday of that week, 215 at the dr on the 30th and 188 today. I was on Clear liquids for 10 days (post op diet) then mushies for 10 days and now running about 5-600 cals a day with approx 70g Protein. I got a huge reality check, just like post surgery, except I was better this time because after surgery swelling went down I was hungry, this fill was good and I was able to focus, I could have stayed on liquid but I was not getting any nutrition. I hope going to the gym after kids get back to school I'll hit my Sept goal of 180 and maybe even my ending goal of 175 by the end of the month... that is only 8lbs in 31/2 weeks... I can do that. I have never had 1.5 in me and I am golden, but for the most part my head is in a really good place with this. I want to hit my goal of 150 by my birthday in March

Ok thank you:smile2:
