Suzzzie.

J- I never thought of green beans. Haha. I think I just focus on lettuce cause I'm a HUGE salad lover, and I miss it so much. Ha! Yes. I think I can do green beans. I eat steamed peas sometimes, though it's been a while... Did the pic of the shoes come through? They are really cute. Everyone at work saw them and loved them. I think I'm about flip flopped out! Working on some now for my sis in law, then have to do 2 pairs for another friend. Weee. My poor afghan is being neglected!

OK - I'm back. I ate 3 small baked chicken strips (from my anti-bad stuff expensive chicken breasts I bought today) and I did good! I got them down well... no stuck or PB in sight! I;m stuffed though! I have about 9 left too, so I will pack them up for lunches and such.:thumbup: You mentioned veggies, I can do very few of them, because I get stuck on them every time. You have NO IDEA how badly I crave a huge ass Chicken Ceasar Salad. Haha. Like, wayyyyyyy huge. But yeah... I just can't do lettuce at all. I can do broccoli in severe moderation... I should go buy some. Hmmm. Lol. I heart you all.:thumbup: Now I plan on spending the rest of my evening crocheting on flip flops and watching old episode of 'Dead Like Me' on SurfTheChannel - Home. :thumbup:

Ohh Beckie! I'm soooo sorry you are STILL having trouble!! I just can't help to think how EASILY that could have been me. YOu poor thing!! Just keep your eye on the prize - you are so right to focus on your cholesterol and BMI going lower and lower! How amazing is that?! Hopefully the ID doc will be able to help you. DO they have you bathing in hepa-cleanse or anything like that? It's an all over body anti-bug stuff... Can't recall the EXACT name. but something like that. Oh, and you got to see our doc? The one who did our surgeries? Is he still HOT? Haha!! Thanks for the belated Bday wishes!

J - I KNOW!!! Ugh. So... today I broke down and went to the grocery store. I bought chicken!!! Lol. I haven't eaten meat in over 3 months... don't really want to, but I KNOW I'm not getting *any* nutritional protein. I bought the veggie fed, no added hormones or antibiotic chicken... and it BETTER be what they say it is, cause I paid a pretty penny for it! I'm baking some lightly seasoned beaten down chicken strips now. Smells good... I'll let you all know how it goes. I also bought some other random things... bout one pack of tuna, haven't had it though since I PBd on it back in Sept! Lol. C - I hope you got your fill and all is well!

J - just finished your 2 pairs of identical shoes. Lol. They are CUTE! I'll send you a pic probably tomorrow... I'm not in the mood to upload my camera tonight. Haha! Stef - I have done one pair for you... working on the next one now... I'll send you pics tomorrow as well. Do you know what I've eaten today? pint of cookies n cream ice cream one of the '99cent' size bags of honey BBQ Fritos. Ugh. I think I need an intervention!

THats awesome BP. I wish I could change jobs and commute by bike! I drive 40 miles round trip. It's not that bad, but it DOES add up in the gas tank! There is a hospital about 3 miles from me, but they are NEVER hiring for full time LPNs and I have to work full time in order to pay bills... Pft!

I heart soup. And restriction.

My body will only look 'toned' after I lose another 120 pounds and have major plastic surgery. Lol.

Ouchie Stef!! Yuck!!!!

I was trying to post a paypal button for ya'll to click on, but it doesn't work here. Damn.

Do you need them both in size 2? Both pink? you want them identical, or slightly different? Yes, paypal account is under midnight.nurse@gmail.com. Can you only wear Old Navy? I can go up there, but man... Haha. I'm whining. :hurray: Congrats on the healing and the filling, and the LOSING!!!! Yay!! I wear an 11 in mens, 12 in womens shoes. I have massive feet. I'm 5'10" as well... but HUGE and WIDE feet run in my family. Sooo annoying! I was hoping that with weightloss my feet would shrink up some... but no such luck so far!!

Janine - when I was having reflux issues about the only things that didn't cause me horrid pain was ice cream and those 'fun size' candy bars like 3musketeers, snickers, etc... which is weird, since even WATER was very painful!

Lol. I was going to say that!

I can totally do a kids 2 in pink. Pink seems to be the most common requested color. Lol. can't imagine why. Haha!

Wow... eeerily quiet around here!!! J - I plan on taking my bike out tomorrow for a spin. I haven't tried it since I got my new padded bike capris... so we'll see how it goes. Since my unfil on Monday I've been eating crap foods. Ice cream, Doritos, yogurt covered pretzels, m&m's... yeah. I need to make myself eat something substantial tonight. I'm thinking about trying a veggie 'riblet'. We'll see. I've been a croceting fool lately. Been making these fuzzy flip flops.... I've got several colors/styles/sizes... If you'll want some, let me know. $5 kids, $7 adults... I'm selling them at work and saving the money for my medical missions trip to Nigeria. I really need to go do something other than sit on my ass...

LOL! What's a 'foof' guru?

Ohh Janine!! There is NO WAY I could have that ice cream in my freezer and NOT eat it!!! You are so strong!

Yeah, it would ROCK! But if the date is the first week of Oct I can't do it. I'm (HOPEFULLY) going to Nigeria for a Medical Missions trip... so yeah...

I voted surgeons - but mean that I want to hear from PS surgeons!!

Lol. I've seen that $5 pic.

OK. I'm totally wanting to do this... but not in early Oct! Lol. can we change the dates just to please my schedule?!? hahaaa! I'm tentativly scheduled to be in Nigeria on a Medical Missions trip from Sept 26 - Oct 6. If this can be later Oct I'm totally all in.

THere is your pic J. Thanks for the Bday greetings, and the link to the thread.

Ohhhhhhhh and I need prayers for my Kitty! Ugh. Sir Toadeous (2 year old male cat) has been straining to pee the past couple days. I took him to the vet and she is keeping him overnight and gave him an antibiotic shot. Urinary issues in cats can end up deadly pretty quickly. She said it was good that he is still able to pee some... but yeah,. I think I'm just extra freaked cause of just having my dog have surgery for a bladder mass a few months ago. My poor babies!

I sure did!! It was goooooooooooood too! Lol. Mmmm Birthday Cake Remix... Lol. Thanks Wombat! I use the 8th Continent Light Choc soy milk. It's like 90 cals per serving, I think. Most of your cals will come from whatever protein you use. Or you can try to use 1/2 the amount of peanut butter.

Spank me, spank me!!! Haha Thanks Stef! I got tired of waiting on you at COld Stone, So I came on home... Maybe next time. :wink2: And your yard plans sound awesome! Can't wait to see it when you throw that big old Bycyling BBQ. Haha Dude, where yoou see that convo? I wanna go!!! Lol. Thanks dollface!
