  1. Too tight - sweet spot - is diff for everyone.. But never ever be too tight it's bad for your band/stomach... I don't think you are too tight - you just aren't - you just don't know when to stop eating yet - it takes a while - hell i'm 4 yrs out and sometimes I still take 1 bite too many #1 imho - I wouldn't be eating the wrap - I would eat the insides but not the toritlla/bread whatever it's made with. Eat pt first - If you can eat 3-4 oz of pt and be full that's good - if you are hungry in a few hrs have another oz of pt - or another healthy snack. Drink your Water between meals - alot of times what we preceive as hunger is thirst.
  2. Good Morning Peeps Denise - yes the pool boy is hot - lol - had me laughing this a.m. I vote New Orleans as it's a place I always always wanted to go - plus I know I would love DENISE !!! I can't go in Sept as lady I work with is gone the whole month.. Phyl Hugs on the cold - Mucinex have you tried it - it will dry you up.. food choices are yours no matter what others are eating - I know it's hard cuz when I am out - it's difficult to make food choice that are good - but it is possible. Well I bought this skinny cow candy yesterday - DON'T BUY it - it's comes in 120 cal packs - but you can't just eat one - LOL - so i was bad bad bad bad last night.. Well it's 6 gotta hit the shower Pray for Melissa - surgery at 8 a.m. today... cbl - Happy Monday..
  3. Good Morning Peeps I slept in - just got up - Debbie stopped by - watched tv and talked till about midnite - then she left i stayed up an hr more then been - dogs had me up at 6 but went back to bed - No plans for the day really.. Karla - I bet you are tired - you have been doing a lot of yard work that hard... Yep our bodies tell us what they are hungry for - I wanted enchillada yesterday - bought this new sauce - they were awful - had 1/2 cup - then watermelon - popcorn - ice cream cone ;0) Yep Candice moving is better than sitting on your butt ;0) Glad your Gig went well ;0) Phyl Where are you..
  4. Good Luck Peeps - I'm a July Bander too ;0) 7/07 - 4 yrs this month Your band is a great tool - use it wisely - make the lifetime lifestyle change in your eating and exercise habits and you will succeed.. 52 when banded 250 lbs - today 56 and 136-139 lbs - feel 10 yrs younger - have 100% more energy.. I lost the majority of my weight in the 1st yr (105 lbs) then lost the rest in the next few months.. I have never dieted - I eat healthy - I exercise - I kept a food diary the 1st yr - counting calories & pt grms - I also weighed and measured my food till I learned what a 1/4 looks like or 4 oz of meat.. Prayers for a safe surgeries & speedy recoveries for all of you..

  6. Good Evening Peeps Candice so Monday is your 4 yrs - you fit the statistic and you are giving WW a shot to help you have better control - you got the tool - you are working on the control - WTG Karla - Girl !!!! child was missing 31 days before she was reported missing .. Be careful doing all that yard work.. Phyl - How you feeling today.. Linda - How your hips.. How Mindy Denise - any great concerts
  7. Good Morning Peeps Yep Phyl steriod will do that to you - stay away from the starches !!! CONGRATS on you 100 lbs loss and maintainng that... WTG WOW Idol ticket how cool - I think the cloest they come to me is LA and it's normally during the week - love them but not that much.. TGIF gang.... Sure glad it's Friday...
  8. We (Linda - Denise - Phyl - Me - Candice) are all 4 yrs out this month... Since we are the OG Lucky #7's !!!! So how do we stand.... Janet 7/17/07 - 250lbs - 7/7/11 - 138lbs = 112 lbs lost and maintained for 3 yrs - fluctuation between 136-139 Phyl Candice Linda Denise There should be a law that you can't profit from a story - but I guess since she wasn't found guilty the law wouldn't apply - it's up to us peeps to boycott anything she does - but if she's smart (which she isn't) she would dye her hair blond - get blue contacts and move to Alaska and change her name - cuz I don't think she safe or will ever have a life using her real name and looks - who would have anything to do w/her - she will be living in her own prison for a few yrs anyway - till pple forget
  9. Good Morning Peep OMG Karla - Casey Anthony has been on tv for 3 yrs - she killed her daughter 2 yrs old - I am awaiting the sentencing right now - found not guilty of murder but of lying - they couldn't prove she killed her DD but that she did lie Good luck on the house Slept good last night - fell a little more rested this morning went to bed earlier .. I don't watch a lot of the news but enough ;0)..
  10. Good Afternoon Peep Candice I read the John Jake's books when they 1st came out - like 70-80's ;0) I loved them - I loved them ;0) Ya kids - another bump in the freaking road.. I really hope no one comes to her for a book or movie - She is a sick sick person - I beleive she has a mental disorder - hell the whole family.. I am pooped..
  11. Good Evening Peeps Been a long long weekend - Saturday house cleaning - helping moving - couch - Sunday 4 a.m phone call Andrew went around corner hit water slid into curb with right wheel - car broke - (drinking ??? he swears no - the pple he's with wouldn't let him dd but who knows the real truth - I want to beleive he's not lieing but again I'm 56 not 16 - they were coming home from Del Taco) so I was up at 4 a.m. pissed off to say the least - well before I could call tow company (figured I would wait til 8) the sheriff is calling and had car towed - in fire lane - We this is all on Sunday the day I'm suppose to go to concert - in Hemet - well we still went - that was a total trip waiting in line for hours - totally unorigizines - we were crowded like cattle.. - then we left early - still took 1.5 hr to get on the road.. Temptations & 4 Tops free concert never again got home stayed up til 2 it was a long day.. Yesterday slept in - gf Ann came over - bbq ribs - visited till 9 -- then this morning had to run around and get car out of impound and towed to shop to get fixed.. Linda - 7/11 is Melissa surgery day @ 8 a.m. Candice WTG on your gig - congrats... Afgan don - colors green rust gold - will take pic this weekend. Phly - Yep the verdict isn't what it should be- cause I believe she knows what happen - but they did not prove that she killed her - the system did work - there was no evidence that Casey did it - there was a dead child and Casey lied her ass off - but that doesn't prove that she killed her child - again - I think she did - but there was no evidence that she did - so if you leave the emotional issue out and go on the actual evidence - they did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it - God will be her judge.. Karma will get her Denise - it's hot here too and humid but not as bad as what you get Well it's 8:30 - need to go eat cbl

  22. Good Evening Gang Karla - gotta say since I lost weight - the heat doesn't bother me that much - I get cold now ;0).. Sweetie you live alone - you do the grocery shopping - do not allow junk food in your basket/cart when you are at the store.... Cuz if it ain't in the house you can't eat it... You have the power of choice - and you need to look at the calories in what ever you are buying - look at the serving size - say to yourself will I only have one serving of this - and is 15 chips worth 200 calories - will I stop at 15 - or will I stop at 1 cup ice cream or will I go back for more - Reading the calories on my food makes me not buy it - cuz I know me - if it's in the house I will eat it - 500 cal for a piece of carrot cake isn't worth it 98% of the time - Today at work they had ice cream social - the did buy these sf ice cream thingies like an eskamo bar - 100 cal - about 3 bites - I said thanks for providing sf - everyone said oh you can have it Janet it's sf - I said it has 100 calories - it's not just about sugar free it's about the calories - I went out to lunch today - going to concert tomorrow - will have a few cocktails - so just skipped the snacks - didn't need the extra calories.
