Congrats - I will keep you in my prayers on the 14th !!! Hugs Janet

Good Evening Peeps Been up since 4:30 - at work by 7 - left at 3:30 took Bella to get her stitches out - OMG I got there at 4 - didn't leave til after 5 - wait wait wait - but omg the dogs - this lady had a great dane - omg this dog was huge !!!! I mean Huge!!! But she was the mellowest things - such a sweetie... Candice - Hugs about your mom's friend - OMG Peters party is going to be fab... How are you doing w/your healthy eating - I know your exercise has been cleaning house.. I haven't ck'd fb yet to see where Phyl is.. Karla - OMG girl 3 truck loads - am I going to have to call the hoader patrol on you ;0)... Has your mom left - did you have a nice visit w/her I agree the coffee didn't help the laptop ;0) Well gotta go feed the dogs ... CBL Linda - Props to you for being a teacher - I would tell the kids - can't you read - 24 hrs... ;0) but I'm a witch ;0) Steph - You thrive on being too busy - you will do just fine ;0)

Good Evening Gang.. Linda you are too nice - I'm called the Simon Cowell of LBT ;0) Welcome MSampson - Congrats on your 79 lbs gone !!! Yep dear it's all about eating healthy - that the key - diets don't work - that's so very true !!! You have to eat healthy and exercise.. As Linda said - being too tight cause us to eat sliders that are usually higher in calories. Go back to the basic = Google the 5 day pouch test - it's liquids like for 2 days then soft for a day or 2 then back to regular - I haven't ever done it - but a few pple have - For the 1st year - I kept a food/exercise diary (I counted calories 800-1200 daily and varied them)- I weighed and measured my foods (for the first few month) I still pull out the scale for somethings even today. Always eat your protein 1st - then veggies - then starch if you do have any room Make sure you eat low fat - limit starches - and mostly sugar free.. I still eat off dessert plate and use small spoon and fork.. Get out and walk - start slow then every couple of weeks increase your speed and distants - I lost the majority of my weight my walking on the treadmill - lost the last 30 by weight training and treadmill. I still weight train and now am into classes at the gym - boot camp - yoga - pilos - for the last couple of weeks I have been to the gym 5-6 days.. Yep I have my food demons - I will be physically full - but my brain wants more food - Sugar is my heroin - I eat mostly sugar free - but every now and then I want a reeses peanutbutter cups - - well in the past I would buy a bag of candy and eat it all in one night - now - I buy 1 candy bar and no more.. I don't keep foods in my house that I can't say no to - why that's self sabotage.. We are food addicts... You wouldn't leave a bottle of booze on the counter if you were an alcoholic.. I eat the same way I did when I 1st got my band - I am not dieting - I eat healthy food - I eat tons of fish (known for being the fish queen) I eat veggies every meal and I will save my starches for nights when my will power is the lowest.. I eat an ice cream almost every night - it's a sugar free fudgescile or sf pudding I budget my calories to compensate for when I am the hungriest (night) I'm attaching a sample menu.. You can do this - you just have to make up your mind that you want to get healthy (our brains are where are real problems w/food lies not our stomachs) You deserve a healthy life - you deserve to take care of you - You need to love yourself - and that doesn't mean killing your self w/food cuz that's how you love yourself - we all have been there - food is our comfort - it's our love - it's our reward for taking care of everyone else.. So Pull up the bootstraps - the past is the past - can't change it - but you do have control over what you put in you mouth - So starting right now - get rid of the junk in the house (throw it away - or give it to your local shelter) sit down make a menu - shop for the foods on that menu - count calories read the labels - get out and walk - and when you want to eat get on lbt post - go clean out a drawer - get up and distract yourself - And I bet you in 1 week you will come back and tell us the scales are moving in the right direction.. Sample Menu.doc

Steph - Lots of popcorn $$$ making business - you deserve the day off Phyl - Hugs on your back - I saw on FB that it's really hurting you - I really wish you would go see a chiropractor - you are out of alignment .. Linda - Back to work - ugh I know what you mean - Well it's time for the shower Candice aren't you home yet .. CBL

Karla loved your advice to Linda - except for the last sentence - why in the heck would she yell at you !!! Yep Linda 2 hrs at the gym this morning ;0) and I'm still alive - I am shocked everytime I try something new and can do it - I really contribute it to all the weight training that I have done in the last 2 yrs - that's what the 1st class was (working with weights) - LOVED the teacher - then had my Piyos - I was sweat heat to toe - if I wrung out my headband - I bet you could have gotten 1/4 cup of water - Then went an got nails done - Target shopping - came home jumped in the pool (no one home so skinny dipped) it was refreshing - then ate and watched a little tv.. Work tomorrow ... then 4 more exercise classes.. Karla - I know my gf Diane was having anxiety yesterday and she didn't know why - Glad your Mom is comming to help you - You need to get the house in order before school starts.. Linda - Hugs - glad you went shopping- but I hear you - it's always about doing for others - how about you - I totally get it I think we all do - that's why we we obese.. Candice is gone to some blueberry festival that Peters band was playing at this weekend.. Well it's Sunday - day of rest - so I am going to go get some before the day is over :0) Karla - you may need to see the doc.... Phyl - Safe Travels & Happy Anniversary again ...

Good Evening Gang.. Well last night took 2 xanax - slept like a baby - got up at 7:30 had coffee took car to get serviced - walked home - washed the patio - furniture - watered plants - washed sheets - quilt - mattress pad - showered then got dressed - Andrew left for work - and then right after that they call to say car's ready - so had to walk - it's about 1/2 mile but this was at 2 p.m. and it was a little warm - not bad really - and very proud that I could do it without dying - then went to target and marshalls - got the bed made - still washing - 1 more load I think ;0) Linda - Don't you still get Cora days even when you work - I thought you always got her like on a Thursday.. Karla - Did you surive your day - what are you so stressed about.. Phyl is in Coutre delan Idaho ... Well dryer went off - back to it - I got to get to bed early- have 2 exercise classes tomorrow - gotta be a the gym by 8:50 - won't get done til 11:15 and I have to get nails done cuz I just took them off - need a new set ;0)

Ya somedays - pple just but the shit out of you - and that's what he's doing... Well I'm going to go eat - salad & chicken - i'm hungry and pooped.. Tomorrow rest day - then Sunday 2 hrs at the gym - some class at 9 then plios at 10 - I liked the other lady who taught plios when Rose was on vacations - her's were calming - but Rose (my boot camp instructor) teaches it like Bootcamp Pilos.. I really like yoga... cbl

Ya today is better - well so far - Andrew's home and for some reason he is getting on my nerves... He bitches too much like a husband - Bella was running around - said you aren't watching her - I told him - she has gone pee and poop - she's fine - she can't be locked up all day long... She's sleeping by my feet right now.. Well - I have always gotten my phones at At&t they copy my contacts - oh ya once Joseph sent me a phone and Andrew put all my infor in from one to the other - That's why you should save to the sims card I think - you are the techie not me - you will figure it out.. I can't get a new phone til 3/11 - and I'm too cheap to pay for the extra internet - Hell my cable internet and home phone is $160 - Cel billl for 2 phones is $135ish .. Andrew has internet and unlimited texting.. Got my electric bill $376 !!! and we are suppose to be hot this next week - well only 1 more month of high bills - then it should go down - but then seeding for the winter gas - it never ends.. That seafood fetuccine was to die for ;0)... Ya you went a little overboard - but you know what - that's ok - we can do it every now and then.. That was your treat for the week.. How's the back?? It will be interesting to hear how Zoey does on your road trip ;0) Candice is gone - Karla still at school?? You are leaving tomorrow?? Safe travels....

I'm in a piss poor mood tonite - Andrew is bugging me.. Nags about Bella - then calls and tells me he's going to NY w/Mom 9/7 - to the 12th - he can get off work for that - but may have a hard time getting the week after thanksgiving off - so I said - stay home then.. It's one of those days that I would have liked to come home to a cooked meal - last night was a t.v. dinner (ww meal) tonite went to the grocery store - got chicken and stuff for a salad. Fed the dogs - I'm just tired...

Good Morning Gang Yesterday was busy - at work - then home to gym at 5 then home at 6 - then had to p/u car - then yoga - didn't get home til 8:45 then - animals - dinner - empty the dish washer .. Never got a chance to to get on the computer.. Karla Hugs on the stress it will do it every time - Steph - I sorta get it - I can be that way too some times - but then I just don't know where to start - it can be over whelming. Phyl - too cute about Zoey and Earl ... I can you do some streaching that may help - I know in yoga we do a lot of it and it feels so good - hope the pain goes away soon.. Candice - hugs on the head ache - I thought you had gone off the wagon ;0) Well it's time for the shower - I have no gym tonite so I will talk to you all then - busy at work and if I get on here I don't get my stuff done.. Hugs

Karla - did the raccoon eat all 3 - Hugs sorry about that.. Phyl - How you feeling this evening - any better - have you called anyone - Hugs - vent all you want - that's what we are here for Candice Where are you today - I hope nothing bad had happend.. Well I had boot camp - it was tough tonite - well hell it's tough every tueday... Headed to the couch and dinner ;0)

Oh HUGS HUGS HUGS Phyl - don't cry .... Please don't cry... Call some one - raise a ruckuss - you really need to ck w/a good chiroprator - ask your friends - jim/tracy - who they go to .. Insurance will pay for it - you need an adjustment your saitic (sp) is messed up - LaLa Land - hell I wish I was there ;0)... Janet's La La land is being a parent ;0)..

Good Morning Gang~~ Thanks Karla - everyone at work liked them - said I looked younger and you know all girls want to hear that - especially at our age... WTG on Snacks - that's the way I feel about them - who really eats 2 tablespoon of dip - hell that's 2 bites ;0). I have some Protein chips that I will eat on afternoons I have workouts - 120 cal 12 grms pt Well time for the shower Phyl you didn't post yesterday - busy getting ready for your trip ;0) - When will you be in California ...

Here's a picture - I look like you Candice dips are great - but what you eat with them - the calories add up ;0) 1 point = 100 cal so then add cracker about 140 cal - that 240 cal for a little snack 2 points = 200 cal add crackers that's 340 - that's a meal imho ;0) Eat real food (meals) Keep the Snacks to a minimum especially if you are guesstimating the serving size.. Put on old clothes - get old fashion comet (powder kind) w/bleach an old toothbrush make a paste and have at it.. I remember doing that when I was like 5 yr old.. Bleach is the only way to get rid of the mold and that's what it is - turn the fans on and open the doors/window after a shower.. Back from the gym - arms tonite - had a good workout .. Took my car in to get repaired this morning - Do you guys want to know what a sweet kid Andrew is - I asked him what his work schedule was for the week - could I take his car - he said that he works alot this week - I said ok - I'll get a rent a car - Well this morning when he was taking me to work he said he called his Mom and he would use their extra car while mine was in the shop - Wasn't that so considerate... I gotta send his Mom/Stepdad a Fruit bouquet - That was so nice of them Got dogs fed - my veggies cooking - need to go start fish... CBL

Candice - I have gym tonite - won't be home till after 9 your time - I took pic this a.m. will maybe download it tonite Well back to work Hugs everyone - I am hungry today :0)

Good Morning Gang Took a break from the computer yesterday - cuz once I get on - I get nothing done :0) Exercise - Marshalls - Target - cleaned and washed - read a little. Candice - Ralph would dance w/me - but sometimes he didn't want to - so I danced w/others - But for the most part he would dance - Ya that's sorta funky that he won't dance at all.. Cougar ;0p Phyl - I could imagine Earl & packing ;0) - When do you get your car back? I take mine in this morning - then I will have to get a rental - Andrew has a full week at work so we can't share Karla - We need pics of your yard w/all your plants !!! I'll take a pic of my band later when I have my makeup on Gotta hit the showers cbl

Karla Bella's find - has to go back in 10 days to get stiches out.. Glad you had a good time last night - And I agree w/Linda - the guy could turn into something - give it time girl - .. 2:30 a.m. omg that's late ;0) - only 2 cocktails - that's where I have you beat - I would have had 4 ;0) Not your problem Linda - Glad you took my advice - ;0) and why can't you eat hamburger & pork - it's food - BBQ sauce isn't that bad - I never count those calories ;0) I'm not that anal - Heck while I was at the mall today - I had 1/2 fish taco (well all the fish) 1/2 the taco part - I haven't heard from Karri - but from what I see on FB school is driving her nuts as usual.. Got my hair cut this morning - now have bangs ;0) - she really cut side bangs - but I can home and made them full bangs ;0)

Good Morning Gang I thought I had posted last night - Bella had 2 hernia - has pain meds for 4 day - antibiotics for a week - so I was babying sitting last night - Since Andrew picked her up - don't know at what time to give pain meds or how fast they will wear off - cuz she's so tiny it's like 1/16 of a cc - 1/4 for the antibiotics Phyl I really think a chiropractor would help.. Keep icing it.. So you must be all mosted packed - knowing earl he is completely packed ;0) Linda - Hugs on your school issue - ya next May - 9 months not too bad - With your hip don't know if you will be able to do the zumba - be careful - but I know you will. You should just make a big pot of something - soup - chili - stew - fried chicken ;0) - and say foods in the kitchen - that's what my parents did when we were kids on the weekends - since they didn't know who would be home and when they wanted to eat - and if you don't know - then say - fend for yourself - I made what I wanted and there's food in the kitchen - awe the wonders of a microwave to re-heat food :0) Karla Sure hope you had a blast last night !!! I am so glad you are going out !!! Well have hair at 10.. and will most likely hit the mall since I will be in Palm Desert - time to get winter clothes - ya like we have winter here (especially for half the clothes they sell - wool etc) but will go do some walking :party: Candice how did you bbq go... cbl

Candice Be careful about the wine - and remember it's about the friendship not the food ;0) you don't want to blow you whole week of being good. ;0) Enjoy but be mindful ;0) Phyl LOL Earl - How did you work it out :0) Hope the doc give you some relief - go to the chiropractor Karla I would take the 2 months off ;0) - is your working 7 days full time or part time - you get free plants don't you - some fringe benefits ;0) I'm back from taking Bella for her surgery - Pick her up at 4 - they sure want to fix her - Andrew doesn't want her fixed say that hurts them in their growing stages - Bear & Angel both fixed - so don't need to worry that she's ever going to get pg - so why spend the $$ - I bet they do it anyway when she's under - just have a feeling don't ask me why Went and got 2 estimates for car repairs -one $2800 the other $1000 - So I called xdh (Ralph) to ask questions about what these guys told me - one guy said you can't buff out tail lights (the more expensive one) the other guy said you can - xdh confirmed you can - so will be taking it to the cheaper guy - my trainer took his car there so I do have references ;0).. and it's 1800 cheaper.. Xdh just asked me if I wanted to go to the river in the next few weeks - I said ya.. Now don't get all excited girls - we are totally friends - sound like he might bring his one niece (my fav she's 28 I think and maybe his mom - whom I love) We will see - I would love to go to the river - use to have so much fun when we use to go.. Drinking a beer or road runner raper floating down the river or riding in the boat - doubt I can drink beer - haven't tried in a while - But I love sun and water and road runner rapers (like long island ice tea but more like a fruit punch) Well I didn't get much sleep last night - had coffee too late went to bed around 11 was tired but couldn't sleep - finally fell a sleep around 2 - up at 5:30 - May just go take a nap... cbl ..

I'm here l0) - but no sleeping in tomorrow - taking Bella for her surgery - suppose to be there 7:45 a.m - so I will be up early.. But I won't be at work - you are the lucky one no school for 3 months... I am glad you are going out - you need to do that more often.. I'm got tickets for Mary J Blige on 9/5 that should be a great concert.. Phyl - The accident isn't Adams fault so won't be an issue.. I think a chriopractor might be what you need... Ya we sure do need some good news - all we have had is drama lately... Well eye are getting heavy - and since I need to be up by 6 and out the door by 7:15 - i better hit the hay.. CBL

Thanks Peeps !!!! I just want the newbies to know that they can lose the weight - it's still work w/the band - but it's doable.. If an old chick like me can - you younger ones really can !!! Hugs to you all...

Bella is scheduled for herina surgery 7:45 tomorrow - Andrew is suppose to take her - but it's his friend bday today so - I may end up taking her - Want to get estimate on car (ryder scratches and my bumper bobo) Karla - no coffee for 3 days or no lattes for 3 days - I could make it w/o lattes but no coffee - nope ...
