THanks all for the congrats! I just couldn't BELIEVE it! I stood there looking at the numbers on the scale until they faded off. The only real reason I hopped on a 2nd time was to see it again, which is when it said 301. Lol. I'll try it again in the morning and see what it says then!! O2B - No protein shakes?!?! Lol. I don't think I can live without them anymore. I totally rely on them in the mornings, cause I'm so tight in the mornings... actually, if I make them thick like a malt (lots of ice!) I have trouble with them going down. Its a sad sad thing to be driving down the road sliming on a freaking protein shake!! Target has those big exercise balls on sale for only $9. I bought one. Already did my first workout with it - BLOWING IT UP! It comes with a foot pump.. I"m exhausted!

"do a lot of pushing your food around on the plate, taking multitudes of tiny tiny bites...then ask for a doggie bag, " I totally do this. Drives my friends nuts. They just aren't used to me NOT licking the plate clean! Haha. They are learning to deal with it, and now start taking bets on how many bites I'll take before I shove my plate away!

OMG! So, I get on the scale this moring, as I do nearly every morning... and I about peed on myself! For the first time since I was about 18 years old it was UNDER 300! It said 299.3!!!! Of course I had to ruin that lovely moment by stepping back on it a 2nd time... which said 301.6... Lol. Either way, I'm THRILLED!! It's just what I needed this morning!!

Glad you had a good time at the concert BG! I heard one of Mileys songs on the radio yesterday and kinda liked it. Scared me. Haha!

Glad to hear fro you Insub!! Hope you get internet soon! Chocolate... went over to a friends last night for game night, played an awesomely fun and violent card game called "Lunch Money" had a BLAST... but the hostess put out a HUGE bowl of these 'Chocolate dusted Truffles' I have NO clue how many I ate! I didn't even realize what I was doing until the bowl was looking empty!! Ugh. I wasn't the only one eating them, but still... I joked that I was going to have to do a 2 day juice fast now!! Well, Wombat and I are doing 2 days of Protein shakes, water, and fruit Mon and Tues... hopefully that will cleanse the chocolate out!! Ugh!

My RHR has always been upper 40-50. When I had my EKG done for pre-op the nurse actually asked me "Do you workout a lot?" Haha. I was nearly 400 punds! I laughed and said "Do I LOOK like I workout a lot?!?!" Too funny. FYI, normal RHR should be 60-100 for adults.

Great quote Stef - and as nurse I know it is SOOOO true! OK.... broke down today and bought a big bag of Christmas M&Ms from the store at work. Lol. They ere 'Only $1, how could i pass them up?' Yeah. So... I got back upstairs (I make myself walk all eight flights whenI buy something bad!) and I didn't think they were so worth it then. I got outthe cute lil plastic pill cups and and pours a shot for everyone. Haha. Spread the calories - less for me to consume! So yeah, I only ate 2 tbsp of them, the rest is in my locker at work. I think I'll be sharing them again tomorrow! Hell, at least I didn't eat the whole bag - like I HAVE done before!

Denise - I add fiber to my protein shake, cause I've had problems going to the 'bathroom' since surgery in JUNE! I figured it'd correct itself by now, but nope! So, FIBER FIBER FIBER. Heh. Or that 'fat free, no sugar added' ice cream from blue bunny... that stuff works like a colon cleanse if I eat more than a cup or so!! Whew!

Let her milk the injury. Just smother her with love. :eek: I KNOW that I'm gonna get a boob lift - possible implants when I'm done losing weight... along with the LBL. Haha. I need a sugar daddy QUICK!

I typically order soup, and have discovered some really fabulous soups out there!! If they have grilled chicken with grilled or steamed veggies that is a great option too! You can eat the veggies and some of the chicken and take the rest home. I ALWAYS hvae left overs now.

I would totally send you my bra size, but I seriously have about 3 or 4 different sizes from years of weight gain!! Ha! Once I run out of these, I'll let you know! THanks for the offer!

I am getting back on track - until someone brough freaking OREOS into work today and I had about 8 or 9 of them... I'm so mad at them. Haha. I typically have a shake in the mornings, either chocolate soy milk with scoop protein powder and tsp organic Peanut Butter or I'll do regular soy milk with protein powder and a small banana. Lunch varies... an apple, a yogurt, light string cheese, couple tbsp sunflour seeds (dry roasted, not in oil!). then dinner is like a veggie burger, some veggies, or I'm hooked on this organic veggie chili. I do eat snack, usually one of the smaller South Beach Living bars or a string cheese. Though I'm currently working on replacing dairy in my diet, so that stuff will be gone soon. Trying more fruits and veggies, and natural nuts and seeds (not soaked in hydrogenated oils). I'm also working on becoming high fructose corn syrup free... Its a struggle, but its for the greater good. (freaking oreos...)

No way Girlfriend!!! I was TOTALLY looking at this list last night and thinking 'I should take out time to alphebetize...' haha! We must've been friends in a former life.

You got it kiddo! Monday and Tuesday - shakes and Water only?? Wanna add fruit? Lol. (I'm having issues with not being able to chew. But I can deal if thats what you wanna do!!)

Give that doc MY info! I'd love to get a special deal on those sugeries!

You look awesome!

B - Have you tried the Commit lozenges? I'm a non-smoker, but I used to smoke a long time ago... anyway, I love the Commit! ha! J- Glad Zoe isn't broken! That woulda sucked! As for bras... I used to have those bra hook extender things on mine cause they were too tight, now I no longer use those, and I"m on the tightest hook, AND they are getting a bit too big all over. I really need to dig through all of my old cutsie bras I have in a box in my closet. I'm sure I have something tehre that will fit me now! I'm sick of my 'fat granny bras'!

Scales - I do weight daily, but only take my weight seriously on Wednesdays when I record it on my calendar, () I seem to weight less on Weds for some reason!) and now Sundays since thats what we record on our cute lil spread sheet. I'm not going to make it to the gym tonight... so I walked down, then up 8 flights of stairs today at the hospital 3x. I'm slow, and exhausted, so it took me about 30 minutes total. That should count for cardio and resistance I think! Ha! Going up 8 flights is NOT easy! My thighs were bitching at me the whole time!

I ordered the book... took the free shipping cause I'm cheap like that. It'll be shipped around the 21st! I'm excited though! haha. Yes, with 2 years celibacy under my belt I just MAY bite a hottie! Jump on the scale a few more times. Lol. Seriously. This morning at forst mine said 304.2!! I was 301.1 yesterday! Finally, on the third time I was down to 300.8. If that one won't be have I say you go out and buy a new one!

Uh, Stef. You obviously don't know me at all. haha! I'm socially retarded and can't just TALK to some stranger at a gym. Let alone a buff stranger. Haha.

Hey Wombat! I'll do this with you. Lol. When you wanna start?? Just give me 24 hours notice, haha!

Stef, you are SOoooo motivating to me! I so wish I could afford a personal trainer at my gym! I know that is the only way I'll ever really push myself in the resistance training area. I'm such a cardio whore though. At least I got that much going for me. Haha

Dangit Stef!! I can't HANDLE being addicted at another website!!! Lol.

I bought rechargables too! Its much mroe cost effective. And I carry them with me wherever I go, in case I'm out and about when my Bugg starts 'buggin' Lol.
