Hey Gang Karla you have little dogs why do you have to kennel them They aren't going to attack anyone are they. I had Duke a rot/lab mix he was vicious - just told them not to go in the back yard - they could see all they needed to see from the slider - Ya sometime we eat stuff we really don't want - I did that last week - I told Phyl about it this past weekend - I realized it and spit it out - it wasn't worth the calories - didn't taste that good.. I am pretty particular about my food - I want to enjoy it - I rather have a cup of nachos than 2 bags of popcorn so I will have the one cup (really small childs bowl from target in the dollar section) and I am ok.. I'm a lot further out than you - and I still reach for food at times - you know that - next time just walk away.. Phyl - Glad you had a good time w/your Red Hat Ladies - I love the Kmart story - that's too cool... Ya that guy seemed like a good old boy and when they get to drinking watch out.. Ya I don't know what Candice was worried about - we all cuss - again I try not to use the gd word but that's about the only one I watch out for - and again when I first meet pple I don't show my sailor side - but after I know you - the words can roll some times.

Ready Congrats on your band - Hope you are doing well Come join us on the "I'm here to help" thread

Awe no guilt - You are fine - WE LOVE YOU !!!!

Darling you don't cuss that much - hell give me a few drink or I am pissed about something I cuss like a salior ... And I am ALWAYS CUSSING AT OTHER DRIVERS :0) CUZ THEY CANT FRIGGING DRIVE !!

Phyl - I know you aren't a prude - but I agree - I hate hearing GD this that - F this that - yes both of those words to escape my mouth every now and the - Well realluy the GD I TRULY try not to say it - but if I drop a can on my toe it may pop out - but as soon as it does I say Sorry - the F word will come out more often when I am pissed about something - if I find I am saying it a lot -- I realize that I am angry about something - Shit is most likely my fav word :0) And all those sexual induentos - no thanks especially in mixed company - once or twice it might be funny but after that it's crude and rude.. Was it that neighbor Earl & I met last weekend in the brown rv - he had white hair and southern accent... With the limited space that you have it's hard not to be a little cluttered - but I don't think it looks that awful - your RV looks like you live in it - it's clean Oh Karla - GF you got me on the white choc - it's my new fav thing - well the last couple of years I love it.. The black white short breads - I love shortbreads and a glass of cold milk to dip them in ... I perfer soft cookies - ok lets get off this subject I am getting hunger Scales down to 141 this a.m. but woke up last night with tmi - so who knows if that's a good figure - but I will take it haven't seen than # in a while - goal back to 138 by 2010 Well gotta get some stuff done cbl

OK dinner in the oven - 20 minutes and I can eat - just had a spoon of peanut butter ... Fish - Rice - Spinach is the menu tonite - had a cobb salad for lunch - and jerky for bf - I need something else for bf - I was starving by the time lunch came around - tomorrow either oatmeal or yorgurt and granola 2 more days and I am off for 16 !!! Well really 7 work days 1 furlough day 2 holidays and 4 weekend days... But still no work !!! I will be starting my days at the gym - need to get the extra exercise - cuz with family here - I will be eating too many treats.. Need to make a grocery list for food and dessert - I make a good double layer pumpkin pie - pumpkin mixed w/sf vanilla pudding and the bottom layer is cool whip (lite) with Lite cream cheese in a reduced fat graham cracker crust... It's liter than reg pumpkin pie .. It's my fav - plus making xmas cookies with girl !!! Danger Zone there... Plus I have a lapbander coming from AZ on Saturday - taking Sheba in to get fixed - Meeting Earl & Phyl in Palm Springs Sat nite for strolling Palm Canyon and Dinner Got the gym to reduce our memebership to $10 - Got trainer to reduce his fees - so I can do a little shopping - Chico's and this bathshop that you can make up your own scents..

Darling doesn't have to be sterile - a little lived in is ok - well I take that back - I had to make sure the beds were maded everyday - like this morning - I pull the comforter up but didn't put the pillows back on the bed :0) - Ya it's tough I am starving - going to start dinner cbl

Good Morning - Got up early to go to gym but ended up coloring my hair.. Will go tonite Agree - Karri is our runner and works out like 2 hrs when she goes to the gym - but like you said she's a baby compared to us - a lot more energy.. I am glad she is doing this now - so she will be in better shape when she's our age :0) Had the lasagna last night but only 1 cup - it was ok but since it didn't have onion bell peppers or olives not my most fav - Andrew did like it - he doesn't know what's in it :0) I guess I could have pulverized onion & bell peppers so he wouldn't have seen it - but since he grated the cheese he was in the kitchen w/me - plus I don't have any.. Well time to go wash this stuff out of my head - talk to you all when I get to work :0)

Good Evening Gang Karla - I seem to be hungry at work all the time - more than when I am home - don't ask me why - today I had to print all these emails for a lawyer and that just made me want to munch - it's the boring stuff I have to do that makes me want to eat - but if I am really invovled in a project - I am not hungry.. As far as letting go - well gf we know it's not going to be easy - it's easy for us to talk - but we aren't going through it - so here's a big Hug... Well I didn't go to they gym - came home and made Andrew lasagna he has been wanting it - but I don't think he's going to like it - I got turkey italitan sauage when I should have just gotten regular turkey - but I don't think he's going to like the taste - well if he doesn't I can take it to work and they will scarf it down - I do plan on having it for my dinner tonite - and set the alarm to go off early so I can hit the gym Cuz I really shouldn't have skipped tonite cuz I can't go Sat morning cuz have to take Sheba to vet to get fixed at 7:30

You got that right Diva - the majortiy of our problems lie in our head's not our stomachs... Congrats on the moderator !!!

Karla - #1 WTG 81 LBS GONE !!! Love the house and yes spartan is good - but not as spartan as my DS - he won't let dil hang pics :0) - For some reason he is against clutter - I wonder where that stems from - did he grow up in a cluttered house - well a tad -I wasn't always the best house keeper. When I moved into this house I gave away so much stuff - just for that reason - I had way too much.. Love the house - yes your kitchen is totally bare - but I know they say that's good - not to have too much clutter - I love watching sell my house kind of shows - Make sure you put a tea kettle on the stove and add some cinnamon and boil it in the morning before you leave - they say that helps...

Jackie glad you got to eat a little meat.. Glad Courtt is doing so well - Good thing your friend has you ;0) Karla - can't wait for the pic's !! playing hookie is ok - you got stuff done and when you are on a roll you gotta go with it,, Yep being busy busy is a great thing for a diet - I'm like that - I don't eat when busy - it's when I am bored that I eat.. We are keeping you in prayers for quick sale... Ya I saw of FB that you had that potluck/deer thing yesterday ,.. Sweetie - the left side of the closet is top - they are all color - the back were jeans - cords - dress slacks - purple & brown cords - 10 pair of blue jeans - 3 pairs of black jeans - Navy blue dress slacks - black slacks - gray slacks - purple knit skirt - black knit skirt - the right side - was my leather jackets (2) - Jogging outfits - White - purple - navy and black - and then my workout clothes and if you look up on top - orange - lime green - white - black & jean capris My bottoms are normally a solid and I wear color/pattern on top - What you didn't see was all my summer dresses - which are all bright bright colors Shoes - well I work and I dress for work and when I go out and want to look cute and with 112 lbs gone - I can wear the heels without my feet killing me - - Truly the only time you will find me in tennis shoes is at the gym - or with a jogging outfit - but now I have some coach tennis - so I will be sporting them - The only thing I don't do in color are my purses - black and brown and gold evening purses - I leave the color purse for Phyl :0) Happy Anniversary !!! OMG WOULDN'T THAT BE FANTASTIC --- YOU DESERVE IT SOO MUCH !!! Keeping that in my prayers too,.. Well back from the gym - got my trainer to reduce my fees by $10 a session so that's about $90 a month and then told the gym I would stay if they reduced my fee from $19 to $10 without me paying the $99 start up fee.. Dinners on the stove - dogs fed - think I am going to head for the couch - cbl

No You didn't call me stupid - but you call pple who don't think like you stupid - that's the point. Bible and Politic's - OMW - There is a dangerous match... No winners there.. And I don't think the bible has a section about health insurance. Have at it - it's just so funny to read all your post - how seriously pissed off and angry you all get... Have fun :0)

Patty So I am stupid and make you sick if I am a democrate and don't believe the way that you do... You don't even know me - you are going to base your opinion about me based on my political view points... No by the person I am.. Do you know the broadcasters on MSNBC or CNN personally to say that you hate them and they make you sick Wasn't America founded on the principle of freedom of choice to belong to which ever party you have chosen to.. Does that make one party right over the other one - I don't think so.. You know what - I don't watch Fox news - cuz I don't agree with the majortiy of what they report and feel it slanted to their point of view - so I just don't watch - but I am not calling them names and thinking they are stupid for what they believe I don't hate them or you for what you believe in - that's your right as an American Obama is OUR PRESIDENT - the AMERICA People's President - Just like George Bush was My President too - he wasn't just the President of the Republican Party. We survived Bush (well barely) You will survive Obama and in another 4 or 8 yrs someone will be bitching about who's in office then. Same sad story - just another day... I got more important crap to worry about - that's in my control - well what little control I have over the universe.. Like "I am not going to eat a bag of candy tonite" or will i go to the gym"... It's too funny to read how wound up you all get over this stuff - when it's totally out of your hands and who know's how it's going to end up - gotta be a better solution than what we have - cuz that's aint working too well as it stands now.. Ya there may be some kinks along the way - but don't we have kinks in the system that we have now - but I guess it's better to know your kinks instead of not knowing - but in the end it's still a kink... Stop and smell and enjoy the roses .... The smelll doesn't change by who's in the White House.....

Candice - WTG on the lost pounds !!! Karla - I use to be very mechincal - but not so much anymore - I will when I have to - but not like I use to be. Lunch was cauliflower and some ukcy chicken - ate maybe 1.5 oz - the rest was too dry.. I'm still hungry - having a hot flash right now (mini one) I have gym tonite - legs if knees hold out - took some advil this a.m but just now kicking in (on an empty stomach so that it would go right down) Knees are feeling alittle better Well back to work - cbl

Good Morning Gang Karla - would love to see the house - when you say trim - do you mean crown molding or base board.. Either way still impressed - I don't know how to use any power tools - well I do have a drill - but no saws.. Not much to report - except my knees are bothering me - they ache. I work this week then I am on vacation for the next 2 :biggrin: Kids coming for Turkey day since they won't be here for Xmas - I think I will make Xmas Cookies with Family the Wed before Thanksgiving :0).... Then if GS want's cookies closer to Xmas - I will buy the presliced ones and frost them - he doesn't know the diff :0) CBL

Candice Yes they all fit ;0)... Its an accummilation of what I have gotten over the last yr.. Hugs on the being sick - that's the pits - As to not having a shopping buddy - you have me - but the problem is all the $$ you gotta spend to get here ;0) - well our taxes aren't as much as your 8.75% Jackie glad you got some taken out being too tight is the pits and being sick on top of that makes it worse.. I got nails done - ross & marshall shopped (candles - lotion - no clothes !!) Target - cut Angel - got some clippers but I think they are going back - they don't work too well. Well I haven't eaten today - I am hungry - cbl

Good Morning Gang Angel woke me up 5:45 to potty - thought about going back to bed - but need to get stuff done 1st and foremost coffee & paper - then clean - nails and weekly shopping - don't need much softner and I wanted to get something else for target now I forgot - I need to start making notes. Jackie - yes Earl is a hoot and a great cook.. I really really enjoy hang out with them.. Being sick will cause you to want to sleep more - well that's how it is when I'm sick - I sleep.. Thankfully I haven't been really sick since I got my band - had a cold maybe but nothing too bad that I can think of.. I had my regular flu shot but that's it.. Talked to DS yesterday - they aren't coming for Xmas - Which I am glad of - DS was going to come and leave DIL at home cuz she has to work - I told him that I really appreciated that he wanted to come and be w/mommy but that he needed to stay home w/wife and family -(well the girls were coming w/him - Melissa home/work alone) .. I think he was afraid they wouldn't get gifts !!! Told him would give him $$ to buy Brooke presents and that the rest were getting gift cards anyway ;0) Well going to ck to see if papers here - CBL

I was lucky - only had 1 week in my weight loss phase where I didn't lose anything.. I kept my calories between 800 - 1200 and varied them daily. If you are not eating enough it will show up on the scales (not losing) You must have your 3 meals and a couple healthy Snacks This isn't about deprivation - It's about learning to eat healthy While you are in bandster hell - eat extra veggies at nite - fine low calorie foods to fill you up til you get that fill.. And watch out for slider foods - if you are on regular food alway eat your (hard/meat) Protein 1st as it really does help fill you up Try not to drink your meals - cuz even when you get to your sweet spot - liquids slide right on thru and you will be hungry within an hour..

Pbing usually happens when you have eaten too fast - not chewed well or ate too much..

now the shoes....

Well never made it to the show - Andrew woke up with a sore throat I never left the house - cleaned out my closet & 4 drawers.. I want a vote - do you think I have too many clothes or not enough :tt2::laugh::cool2::w00t::thumbup:

Any WLS isn't a diet - it's a tool to keep you full on a smaller amount of food We have all lost the weight at one time or another on a "diet" but after we lost it - we went back to eating "normal" and the weight came back on plus some - our normal is what got us fat in the 1st place "duh" it is really about making a lifetime lifestyle change in your eating and exercise - Our band's don't choose our foods - we do - and we can eat around them and not loose the weight.. It's all about eating healthy and exercising - I did 75% of the work by doing just that and the band did the other 25% by providing restriction That's why my signature says - eating healthy + exercise+ the band = success.. Good luck to you...

Good Morning Gang!!! Slept in till 6:30 - have read the paper and still sipping on my coffee and while waiting for computer to get up and running changed purses ;0) Need to get butt in gear but am a little pooped from my GREAT DAY yesterday - Stayed up till 11:30 which is late for me but had no problem sleeping last night even w/my coffee.. Andrew asked me last night if I wanted to go to the show with him today :cool2: - He wants to see 2012 - Not a movie I really want to see - but he asked me to go to the show so - so hell yes I will go and enjoy every second. Need to get house cleaned though for company next weekend - but it will get done and I need to go to the post office and return that coat I got from QVC that's too big.. This Morning on Good Morning Amercia - they are talking about fatty foods being just like heroin - OMG - I could have told them that !! That's news :thumbup: - Us fatties already knew that - But I guess maybe the rest of the world doesn't and it will help the world understand why we have so much obesity... Well just cking in Steph don't freeze Karla enjoy your girls and have reasonable expectations - Phyl - I keep smiling this morning I really enjoy yours & Earl's company - And this is very unusual for me to feel so joyful after hanging with friends - I don't know if I am getting out what I mean - I do stuff w/other pple but can't say that I am smiling the next day when thinking about my previous day... Earl and I need to make a date to hike the bump & grind - but need an early start - like 7 - 7:30 Kari - Hope you are doing well Linda - I will email you Denise - Hugs Candice - Hope you enjoyed your turkey w/friends .. Well off to get something started :0) CBL
