Candice Has it been bugging you since the fill last week or just cuz you woke up last night How much did they take out..

Phyl Glad you are getting some good weather :w00t: It's 100 right now per my KESQ ticker on my task bar - this weekend it's suppose to be 115 :eek: Karri You should be find for the morning run - Just make sure you stay hydrated.. Denise - Where in the hell did you get that Idea :lol::sad: was it anything in said :tt2: Gosh I really wish you were coming to the MofA trip - you would have us cracking up 24/7 - I mean pee in your pants, head & side ache kind of laughing :tt2: Yep out of the mouths of babes - they can be so special.. Ruby Glad the hair issue is improving - I agree with the crystal lite being too sweet - I don't put the whole package in my water - but I only use the stuff occaissional - I don't mind water. Yep at it a Botch that no matter what size you are you can't find your size - here when we were 14's all we could find was 10's then you get to 10 all you can find are 14's ..

What's up - Like Phyl says do you need a fill - what are you eating and are you exercising. What's going on with you - We are here for you - we are your support group - What can we do to help you get over this bump in the road...

Empty nest - is just another rite of passage - another learning experience.. We never stop learning or growing (well in our case shrinking:lol:) My trainer is back WHOOPEE - he was gone last week and I really miss him - he putting together a progarm on motivational speaking (he would be great - he is a tough love kinda person like me) and he is going to use me or my brain in his program - well I should say I will be advising him on how fat chick's think and may even be in his program - I LOVE Idrise (that his name) I am a little scared - cuz it will be like talking to a shrink - exposuing your true self and it's ok to do it to other women - but to a man it's a little diff and I know that I will cry when we talk about emontional eating and I will be ashamed but he could help so many other women in getting their shit together. As I say ALL the time most of our battles are with head issues not physical ones.. Well, we will see where it goes - we are just throwing around ideas right now.. But it is really nice to have a man give you his point of view on how us women think that men are thinking about us.. I was telling him that some guy was smiling at me last week and I asked my partner if she knew the guy - cuz I didn't - I told Idrise I didn't know how to act - He said guys find it attractive to see a women working out. Well, as I have said a million times before I love my trainer - but you all will excuse me for repeating myself I'm in that certain age bracket where that happens:lol:

Riberity - Congrats on exercising more - yep when I am on vacation it's the 1st thing i do in the mornings - I love it - if i didn't have to work I would be at the gym every morning 5 or 6 days a week... :thumbup:CONGRATULATIONS:thumbup: :grouphug: MRS NORMAL BMI THAT IS JUST SO FANTASTIC YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK BE PROUD... Linda yep we were a little concerned about you... 2 lbs is good you have lost alot this last yr and have to expect it to slow some. I am really happy that you are still coming to the M of A trip - Yes you need some grownup time. I guess I am lucky to have developed my own life and not as wrapped up in my kids as alot of pple are - maybe it's cuz I was so young when I had mine - and then getting gs - I am sorta done with kids - I want time for me and what I want to do - that's what growing up is about for me.. Ya I will be there in a heart beat for the kids - but it's my time now and I totally get it that you don't always agree with their decisions - but it's their life - just like our parents didn't always agree with ours - but we still did it.. Yep you need us... We are here for you never forget that. I have a gf just like you - her whole identity is wrapped up in her kids who are 25 & 27 who still live at home. I try and tell her even mommy birds kick their babies out after awhile - that they have to learn to fly on their own eventually :redface: - I hope I am not coming off like a cold heart "B" cuz I really not.. It's just that I think there comes a time in our lives when it should be about us... Ok back to work - will CBL :biggrin:

Thanks Densie I bet you were cussing up a storm :grouphug: - I got in mine this morning for about 1 1/2 but i get bored trying to sun myself and reading in the pool isn't really very easy - You gotta wait 6 weeks til you can get back in it ?? Just think how cute youare going to look with your new girls Ok it's 8:26 - off to the couch - see ya'll in the morning coxoxox Janet

Phyl = Ya blowing the smoke out the window is considered smoking outside :crying::sad: But only if the weather outside real bad (for me too windy) - but if it's nice no = she needs to take her butt outside :thumbup: Did you go to Costco today?? OMW 7 layer chicken burrittos sample was great had cheese chicken avocado beans - I would never buy them too good but had that and a little piece of a hot dog and got a little stuck- oh ya some great cheese - I bought it gueyre (sp) I will have to becareful with it - but it has only 80 calories rather than the 100 from reg cheese. Got my green beans, fresh salmon for dinner and my catfish and 2 medium dresses :0) Steph I bet it would be hard eating away from home - this comming weekend with be a bit of a test - you would think since it's about the band it would be band freindly but only us patient advisory counsle will be banded not the pple who run it and it's at a hotel - but having to make choice away from home is very hard = your old brain wants to creep back in ... well at least for me it does and they whole water issue - I have been terrible and that causes problems in the timi dept... I just ate so can't drink and I need to.. Candice I will email you linda's email - I really hope you guys can come - I have already bought my ticket when she said that she was comming for sure.. I know that she had some showers and junk going on - so email her and f ind out whats up.. Ok back to my book - I layed out for 1 hr this morning - Costco - home - nap and now reading... Got my clothes washed ironed and ready to pack for next friday cbl :ohmy:

Good Morning Gang Where is everyone??? I have been up since 7 - cleaned the kitchen - cleaning out my closet (3 bags of clothes that are too big that I have bought between Nov & Feb. Washing clothes - ironing.. And some that I was hanging on to thinking I would alter - I am never going to do that so in the bag they go - need room for new stuff Need to get dog food and some fish - maybe I'll go to Costco later Nothing exciting... Well the dryer just dinged - gotta go - cbl :ohmy:

Karri Thanks - ya I am worried that I will be overdressed - It looks really good on but the pic doesn't do it justice DH will find something he enjoys - I am keeping good thought prayers and wishs in that area. How are you feeling today- are you going running tomorrow - becareful and not over do it - warm up really well.. Movie was good - I cat napped in the beginning he had to catch me up my gs mom's maiden name is Aragon - That was Katherine's maid name - My gs could be a decendant of royality - I am part english - my grandmother on my fathers side was borned in England - I have family tree but no royality - barristers put no kings.. Ok it's 10:15 i am tired going to hit the sheets.. TTYL xoxo Janet

Ok gang - My GS asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him tomorrow - (I think he is sick:lol:) He said he wanted to see a movie that none of his friends would want to watch I asked which one is that - Guess The Other Brolin Sister I can't beleive he wants to see that one = I told him it's out on dvd and that I almost bought it today when I was at target - so he went to get it - $20 for the dvd is cheaper than going to the show - So as soon as he gets back we are going to watch the movie - when I saw the previews I thought I would like to see that one at home - I think I would get to ansy at the show - I can't sit still for long periods of time and if it gets boring I go to sleep... Will ck back later

Lets see if I do it like this that we can get a bigger picture

Peaches - Prayers & good thoughts for your Mom and your entire family (Hugs) Mof A Trip - Phyl & Me & You - Steph & Linda were the other 2 to make a total of 5 - Jackie & Kari can't - Chim said she booked a room but she hasn't popped in a while?? Good on tracking your calories !!! Phyl - you better not let those kids know when you are showing up - you gotta keep them guessing.... Vegas next year sounds great Phyl - I know Candice likes the machines and Jackie too so may be we can get her to come - It's closer for Karri too so maybe she could come and we could see her bikini body :0) Ok I got the most beautiful dress today - I ck'd the rest we are going to dinner on Saturday - it says Casual Elegance - WTH is that - Well, I had one dressy dress - but I wore in January - so I figured it was too big - and when I tried it on it was - So here is a great excuse to go shopping right - but who knows what Elegant causal is. Well this dress size 10 form fitting spaghetti straps with a shawl make me look like a million bucks. Its white greens yellow pleated going horizontal But I think it might be too dressy - I will take a picture later and post but my hair isn't done so maybe tomorrow Well here's a pic of the dress - It's sort of a satiny material shinny :biggrin2: I guess since I don't dress up often I don't know the meaning of all theses new terms - I know Cocktail - formal - business casual but not the other names... I will take a pic when I am done up but I am pooped - gym at 7:20 did my 3 miles home shower - hair dresser - nails - gas - mall tried on 7 dresses - then had to go try on strapless bra - do you know what when I use to look for large sizes they were always gone - now when I am looking for 6's or 8's or a 34C bra - all I find is 42C - 14's - 16's 12's - WTH is up with that :redface:

Thanks Shir - I feel fantastic !!! I really want the 150 which would make my total loss 100 lbs - My original goal was 170 - didn't think I would make it then got to 180 and pushed goal to 160 again never really beleived I would get there (I have never gotten to goal on any diet/program that I have ever been on) I am going to Vegas next weekend need a casual elagent dress - got a beatiful one - size 10 form fitting - my pants are 6's or 8's - I am feeling great - I have had a couple pple say they didn't recongize me :redface: Yep when you get here in Sept we can get together - Phyl should be getting here in Oct or early November...

I have a gf who lives in vegas - but haven't told her I am coming yet cuz I don't know when I could fit her in. I am really happy to hear that you stayed in your p.js all day - you need that - :smile:

Ruby Glad you are still with us - our numbers seem to be dwindling - Kristin, Marcy, Kathy, Sunshine, riberty, Jeanine, NewCC - the other CC, breadlady, Dini, chim just to name a few- heck jackie and linda have been mia alot lateley - Steph must not have her computer - isn't she at a lake doing math?? You sound like you are doing really good 67 lbs gone - you are doing great.. I still want food and have me hungry lately - yesterday for lunch ate a piece of bbq chicken - fast and didn't get stuck - but since I am going to vegas on friday and they say flying tightens your band I don't want to get a fill and be too tight and plus they are feeding us breakfast on Sat & Sun - Lunch On Saturday - Dinner on Saturday (some fancy restaruant inside the Wynn) and Heavy Hordover (sp) at the receiption on Saturday (must mean enough to consider it a dinner) - I can't take food on the plane - so what am I going to do for my night time muchies - I doubt the gift shop is going to have any healthy snacks. Girl you are to frickin funny:lol: I wish you were coming to MofA trip you really would have us all cracking up... I mix 1/4 of teaspoon of liquid vicoden in my 2 oz of liquid tyenlol - I don't think I am going to OD - Heck I do it about once every 2 months - and I don't drink on a daily basis. I'll get you a QVC gift card...:tt2: Dancing you are really crazy... What's it been 2 weeks today since your surgery and shopping - heck you are back to normal :bigear: I can understand even if you can't spell - heck I can't spell either - I finally down loaded the spell ck but half the time I forget to us it and it doesn't correct things like - I mean to type they and I type the... I don't really give a rats butt about pples spelling or grammer (again I am terrible - I use cuz all the time 3 letters instead of 7 (because) I get tired of typing - too bad we just can't have one big conference call :rolleyes2: Ruby - I know I will get my arms done (well gotta see the cost) and I could use a body lift if I really wanted to look super hot and wear a bikini like our girl Karri - but I don't like pain - so who knows.. Kari Sorry about your Sis (hugs) - yes that would be super scary since your sis had it - My sis & I had the same calcification and had a biospy - so we both have the same little markers in our right boob Karri - I am going to have to go back - I missed your post on your injury - Baby Girl - do what the doc say and rest your injuried leg - this is your BAND MOTHER TALKING AND YOU BETTER LISTEN:tt1:

GOOD MORNING GANG !!!! I was at an Airborne party last night - didn't get home till like 8:30 and was beat Kari - CONGRATULATIONS !! I know how nerve wracking waiting for the results can be... Candice & Denise I haven't watched it - I just sorta glanced at it - pad's vs tampon's how stupid - now I will have to go look for it and watch it - People now a days have no class - I am of the generation that my Mother brought me up to be respectable - not that I can't cuss like a sailor and act like a slut - but only in the right situation :biggrin:. Heck if my left hand wasn't in my lap during dinner - My Mom would stab it with a fork to remind me it belonged in my lap and not on the table - Manners were a very big thing in my family - I could go to the White House and have dinner - drink champagne & caviar and not be intimated - and I can go to the hood and play domino's & spades :tt2: while drinking Thunderbird & pineapple juice:tt2: Candice Never heard of that diet - will have to google it but I agree with you 100% - Sick of gimmicks. I couldn't sleep Wed night - last night at the facial party I was beat - got a 10 mg xania from GF and slept great last night - on my 3rd cup of coffee as I am still dragging a$$ - 119 yesterday - it's 8:30 and already 91. Why don't you drink regular coffee I couldn't live without it - I have one cup every morning with splenda and sf creamer... Ok gotta ck my desk - CBL :smile: RUBY AND LINDA WHERE IN THE HECK ARE YOU TWO !!!!!

The ticker on my task bar says it's 115 :crying: but I have lived here my whole life - and I am just thankful it's not 125 - now that's hot :eek: 115 is normalish for the Desert :confused_smile: Thankfully you don't have Msra - it's ugly... Glad the meds are working.. Yep 7/17 is a good day - Hugs Janet

Thanks Phyl I was on my way over here after the last post to our thread I thought they were calling themselves Lucky #7 due to the person posting on our thread Was going to let them know that name was taken :biggrin: Yep July Butterfiles - I love my band 11 months out down 99 lbs - 9 lbs below my original goal weight - It's the best thing I ever did It takes work but it's so worth it... GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR JULY SISTERS/BROTHERS THE LUCKY#7'S WISH YOU THE BEST..

Long2Bfree Congrats on your date :rolleyes2:!!!! 7/17 will be my 1 yr anniversary :thumbup: Sounds like you have mrsa - which is now a community acquired staph infection - use to be that staphs were limited to hospital but now a days it's everywhere. My 4 yr gd has it - my son got it - prior to surgery they weren't allowed at my house and if they were then I bleached everything - I did want to have the bug in my system prior to surgery - make sure you wash your sheets with a little bleach and towels too or you risk re-infecting yourself.. Good Luck on your surgery - prayers for a safe surgery and speedy recovery...

Denise I am going to have to ck out lemon hill :thumbup: I just got the TSV last week Kathy Van something - luggage for my LV trip next weekend - Cherry Red:tt1: (carry on and tote) Watching QVC all day could be $$$$ - I haven't opend my Q card bill yet :smile2: Phyl - great on getting off you bp meds (or reducing them) that's a great nsv - I was on 2 now 1 but haven't taken it for a couple of days my bp was 120/74 last night - so as the weight comes off - the bp is getting so much better. Karri - Yep that seems like a lot of food but again with your exercise you need it - I am so proud of you and the whole running thing - you are such an inspiration. Well off to ck my desk - Just wanted to pop in and say Good Morning... CBL :rolleyes2:

Congrats on your acheivments - I am totally with you on the exercise issue - it's the key to the weight coming off. I am glad you are getting your knee fixed. I too am 11 months out - that's what caught my eye on your thread - I was banded 7/17 and agree - it's the very best thing I have ever done for me... Good job - Keep it up !!!

Well Ladies I am off to eat and watch tv it's 8:21 and 10 will be here before you know it. Have a good evening - sweet dreams - talk to you all tomorrow.. xooxox Janet

Denise Hell the best I have gotten from GS is that I was walking fast now a days (well he said running but i was just walking) so don't feel bad. How much did they take off each of the girls??? But I have all you guys telling me I am looking "skinny" love that word Phyl. and some freinds from work they tell me not to lose anymore - but I want the 100 lbs mark and then maybe 145 - I would love to say I have a normal bmi.. I was cking out the forum threads - OMG you guys gotta go read the Powder Room Girls Gone Wild thread - well maybe you better not - they are talking about tons of super personal crap = that yes we girls do talk about but in person only.. Well maybe my age is showing.. But I would never post some of that stuff on the internet where God and everyone could read it...

Denise - Glad you are returning to the land of the living and yep that taste is most likely the meds in your system and the stuff they put you to sleep with. Go brush your tongue really good and gargle with some mouth wash.. Jackie - Glad you are back too - You DH is great - don't you just love those complements - they in themselves are great motivators. Karri you are too funny - yep you are going to have that body - we are all going to be so jealous (good jealous:tongue:) Heck I would take the pain pump off - it's most likely just a IV in your arm - You just hold it down (the area where the needle is ) and pull it out - DH can do it :biggrin: How's your unfill doing?? What's your appeitite like?? Candice - you can do it - just eat healthy and exercise - it will come off... I think I could use like .02 of a fill - I seem to be hunger about 1 hr after i eat - today at lunch i had 4 oz chicken and 1 cup green beans - and at 2 ish I was hungry.. Phyl glad you go some meds - are you still on your cpap machine?? Mall of America better watch out here we come....
