I don't know how I miss so much on FB - I saw that dh was fiddling with blackberry and saw x men Ok I love your tattoo - turtle... That's so cute and I dont think it crazy or werid.... Andrew got one - and now he is suppose to be getting it lazered off.. but it's on his neck - I think I reported here but never told any of my orther friends cuz I was embarrased about it - He said he was going to get it taken off - his stepdad is paying - I love tattoos but they need to be in approratie places.. Ok I am now satisfied that you are going to be fuelled enought for your race... I am so excited for you and I understand why you wil cry.. But they will be tears of joy.. Ya I could imagine how much musice it takes - I get tired of listening to the same songs on my ipod and I only use it twice a week... I need to download some more to it.. Just know that we alll are cheering you on tomorrow... and will be cking fb often !!! What time does it start.. Well good morning everyone - I didn't turn off the alarm yesterday (on purpose) so I am up at 5 so I can be at the gym at 7 - I think I need to pump up my cardio to burn those calories - so I am going to try the stair master thingie - I have done in once before but I like my treadmil cuz I can groove better on it - I have fast songs mostly on mine.. Going to clean and go get some new tennies... Well I am constipated again !!! I must must do better with my water !!!!!! Ok off to get more cofffe - cbl

Darling Ya bring it - I tried Joseph Wii when there for easter - it was fun but not if you are playing by yourself - I am terrible on driving and and my Brooke the 5 yr old kicked my butt in boxing - I did ok in golf - but again it's much more funner (love my english glad you all are math & science girls cuz I know my engilish would be killing you all) with a family ... I would like to try the exercise part... Ok well you know we will all be on fb on Sunday... Not crazy on the tattoo as far as I am concern - what is it you are getting??? The only thing I would suggest and this is just my personal preferrence (remember I have a tattoo on my ankle and my nose is pierced) is that you get it on your shoulder or ankle or even the side of your thigh since you are wearing shorts to run.. Are you getting your carbs in for the stored energy and those gooey things to eat while running and plenty of water... and plenty of sleep... Be careful - warm up and please please don't over do it - I am so proud of what you are doing Karri - You gotta be so physiced right now... So that's why DH has blackberry and learning to use it on FB

Karla I am 22 months out and I forget to this day - I was eating a peach today and took one bite then another and as I was chewing I knew it wouldn't go down if I sallowed - so just spit it in the trash can - oh that peach was good - fresh on my boss's Mom's tree... Karri how you doing baby girl - are you planing on running the whole 26 miles !!! OMG look at how far you have come in 21 months - from a fatty who couldn't walk a mile to a MARATHONER !!!!! WTG !!!! Ok quite here off to fb :0) will be back

Michaels works ???? Our school district has website to go to so parents can ck out what the kids have to do as far as homework etc - I stayed on top of Andrew with his teacher alot- and once Michael knows that you are in constant commuincation with his teachers he won't be able to tell you that he doesn't have home work I know that if andrew told me no homework I would beleive him - till I started talking to the teachers... And yes we can be a bit protective of our kids - I know that I am - I will be the 1st to admit it - I am not saying you are - but we understand our kid and see the good in them and know how sweet they can be and what they use to be (you know that sweet 3yr old who loved you and would cuddle)- where as others don't see this - Just think about all those pple on death row or in prision - they have moms too who knew that person when they were a sweet kid and all we see is the bad person they became.. - I remember Andrew didn't get to do something big cuz he got in a fight on the bus cuz some kid bit him - the kid had some mental issues and bit andrew for no reason- I had to take him to get shots but he still got suspend for 3 days - This is what doesn't make any sense to me at all and never will.

Denise -How your Mom?? On seeing colors are you a paranormal - I know that you live in LA and maybe you have physic (sp??) ablities :0).. The only thing I see is spots (floaters) :thumbup: Phyl Glad you have connection - QVC had the Wii on sale for $300 something and I think you got a whole bunch of stuff with it - controlers etc and maybe the wii fit... Has anyone done the pliates and stepper - no one talks about that - just the game part... I want one but don't know if I will really use it - where would I find the time - I would have to get off my ass (cuz I am on the computer all the time on either lbt or fb) - I bet that's why I can't get this 1.5 off !!!! Pathword & farming... I am feeling better today - must be that it's Friday !!!! Well off to ck my other thread and then get my ass in gear.. CBL:wub:

3 days well really 2 now since today is almost over... Can't wait to hear how it goes - say hydrate - do you have some of that gooey energy carb stuff - DH have camera we want pictures.. It's good that he's going with you - maybe you will motivate him.. I wish I could nibble - it's still all or nothing for me - Karla - you are a kick in the butt well you got me beat on the sex issue - it's been like 7 yrs for me. But I really don't have the urge used it all up when I was younger - I was a hot to trot mama... What a little AHole that kid is - I would have kicked him to the curb - I couldn't be a teacher - I would get sued.. Well I got home and GS had the house clean (everything but my room) such a good kid sometime.. But then I went and messed the kitchen up - I have the main meal tomorrow for our pot luck lunch - made a one pot with a little more rice than I normally use and this time the jalepeno was a hot one - I took the seeds out but its just a tad spicy and a couple pple don't do spicy - well I was to lazy to go to the store to get stuff to make somthing else - so it is what it is - it's good too me.. And yes its offical - I am pooped and need to re-energize.. Ok it's 8:30 I have cooked 4 meals (one threw away cuz the meat smelt funny) Andrews dinner - taco rice - mine fish and the lunch thingie - I have paid bills and that's it oh ya I ordered 4 elbow teeshirts from chico's - had a coupon so they were like 14 each instead of 20... Yellow Blue Purple and green I think that was hours ago... Hugs til tomorrow....

Kari- Farming is fun - but I lost my grape crop cuz I didn't get on last night !!! That and pathword !!! Do you mean straight thru like runs - nope - it could have been the enchillida that cause that - sometime food hits your tummy and it just doesn't like it - I do watermelon but have to be careful cuz it will stick. You need to post his pic so we can see !!! Glad to here that that one teacher called and you did get to clear the air Well that's a postive out of a negative !!! Ya Steph - I'm with you I have been thinking lately I could use a tweek but know that I really don't - I ate 1.5 cup of squash (mushed up) with my ck thigh for lunch yesterday - Oh you need a fill - no Janet you don't that was a slider.. Ok gang I did terrible at dinner last night - didn't get off the computer til almost 9 - was too tired to cook - so I had some steak left over from Sunday about 3 oz - ate that and then made 2 100 c snack popcorn - Calorie wise not bad but nutritional it was way bad - then went to be woke up and ate a poptart (both pieces) - and I am complaining that I can't get this 1.5 off - !!!! I am in a blab mood - don't know why - well ya I know why can't seem to get this 1.5 lbs off - I know it's only a 1.5 and but for me I am afraid of letting any weight stay on my body - I am afraid that one or 2 lbs will turn into 10 then 20 and you know the routine.. I know that I am being a bit dramatic - but it's how I am feeling right now - I got some vit b's (b complex and b12 they are small sallowable tablets)last night and have been really trying to remember to take my vitiman - it's something I am really bad about - hoping the b12 gives me a boost. I don't have any plans this weekend and I think that will be good cuz I have been doing something every weekend since my cruise last month and my house needs cleaning - I need some down time I think... I need to recharge... Well that's my tale of woes.. I hate to be a downer - I really strive to be up beat - I really am all about the postitive - but even I can get blah :0)... Here's what I would say if one of you was posting this message - concentrate on what you have accomplished - just keep plugging away it will come - look at where you are from last year at this time- I know that this to shall pass... Hugs

OMW Karri & Steph - Big Big Hugs for the drama you both are going through Karri - The B teacher lady is the one who most likely stole your food - I am glad that someone finally stood up for you and that they had the meeting - just go do your job and go home - I know easier said than done - but like you said 1 yr.. You have jealous pple who have it in for you - don't give them the satisfaction of tears ok - be strong - I know it's so hard right now - but it will get better maybe not tomorrow or the next day or even month (heck school's out in June and you get some R&R with me :0) it will get better hopefully sooner than later... Steph - I am glad you are taking Michael out of that school - they can all go F themselves - I agree they know they have screwed up and they are closing rank - that might work for someone like me who doesn't know the system - but you are a teacher and you do.. So give them hell... Don't back down.. Karla - don't read the problem threads - of if you do - please take them with a grain of salt - some pple are full of drama #1 does your doc do blind fills or under fluro.. Here's my 1st fill story - My doc does blind fills First he shot me up with novocaine around my port - he then started poking - it took him quite a few pokes till he found the soft spot in my port - but I was numb so it didn't bother me at all - I laid down - sat up - well he finally found it - He filled me had me drink water and tell him if it was going down - I said yes so he added more then I said no - he took some out - back and forth for a while - you get confused but then when it goes slowly he said ok he was done.. Took the neelde out and that was it - I did have a few bruise after a day or two but nothing bad. He marked the chart where my port was and when I went back for the 2nd fill it was a piece of cake.. Ok - I got an email from a chick who needs my help - 12 lbs in 1 yr - so I gotta go answer that email - I will cbl Again Hugs Karri & Steph - I wish I could help - I'm here to listen to you vent 24/7 !!!!

Good Morning Gang Karri 3 more days - you better load up on the carbs the night before your race - I think that's what runners do to have the fuel to run ??? You are going to gym w/me and you will meet my trainer - Mondays is arms so that's what we will be working !! Saturday Morning Treadmill :0) Maybe the morning will be better on the fill issue - only get .02 :0) Steph OMG I hear you girl - My GS is the same way - you are not alone - we can only ask about one thing - if I had ever talked to my Mom or Dad - especially my mom like kids do today - I would have been slapped from here to kingdom come - once I rolled my eyes at my mom and got grounded for another week.. Ya it's all in the tone - and if you talk back to them in that same tone they get all pissy. I am lucky for the most part those days are over w/GS but we still have our moments of dissagrement - Sunday I asked for help bring groceries in - Oh he didn't hear me.... Then while I was outside planting and watering - he's yelling from his room for me to come - I can barely hear him I'm outside - then when I don't jump - tell him just a minute I'm doing something - Oh never mind I'll figure it out by myself in a shitty tone - I didn't jump to it - Well my attidtude is go jump in a friggin lake buddy... Phyl - I'm with you I would have said f it - figure it out on your own - there is only so much help you can give a kid - sometimes they just gotta figure it out on their own... Ya I was pretty impressed with my scores even got 4030 i think - I think the more you play the more words you see I love pathword and Farm - oh ya accept my neighbor request... Karla - becareful dear... you need your fingers to type :0) Candice nope haven't booked been busy - but I promise I am comming - I am going to have to reschedule mamo - I have it for 7/27 :0) Well gotta get to work... CBL

Very Good Candice !!! I see you are not letting Dianna get the better of you !!!! WTG :drool:

I forgot my veggies this morning so I had my chicken thigh and a gf gave me a littel salad - When are you starting with trainer... Becareful with that fill just a tweek.. You always seem to get too tight... Well Im back from the gym - did my 3 miles burned 328 calories ... Drinking watered down crangrape juice - I have been BAD on my fluids today - Well, it's slow here - I guess I will go play some pathwords I got 4000 score today.... Idol tonite - I don't have to cook except for veggies - I have left over fish & rice ... CBL

Good Luck on that one - don't kill the child please :0) !!! I know I would - we would end up in a big fight !!! I don't have the patience :0)... Candice its cuz you lost those 2.5 lbs - that's why - she's telling you you can eat - tell the Fing "B" to go jump in a lake - you want another loss next week - you got things to do pple to see places to go - you want the fricking weight gone!! Well, take her $$$ if she want to pay for treatment and still wants to smoke - then take the $$$ and run - but again - look at how hard not eating is - equate that to quiting smoking - it's the same thing if not worse... It's not easy just like losing weight isn't... Are you hearing me gf !!! Tell Dianna this story - she wants to eat even though it's not good for her to eat those donuts etc - just like the lady who won't quit smoking !!!! Same difference.... Addiction...

Life Long I think - it's our addiction - it will never go away - we just learn to control it..

Oh I guess my post went to cyber land too.. I got off the computer about 7:45 last night Candice - You did very well on your holiday !!! CONGRATS ON YOUR 2.5 LBS WTG GIRL Yea on the exercise and gum or altoids will take care of the breath issues:wink: That was a great nsv :ohmy: Karla - how did you cut your finger I missed that one. Breakfast - yogurt - fruit - granola - lunch meat & cheese - eggbeaters on the weekend (omeletts) - hard boiled eggs - I have even had 4 oz of fish, chicken or meat for bf Lunch - one pot wonders - left overs from the night before usually just protein and veggies sometimes a litte carbs Dinner fish fish fish ( you will learn I have eaten cat fish for the last 21 months - still not sick of it) but do change it up to steak - chicken - turky meatload - one pot wonders - and 1/2 c rice and veggies. Snacks - choc fix - jello sf dark choc pudding cups - WW fudgecicles - hand to mouth feeding 100 c snack pack popcorn. - SB ceral bars or Fiberbone bars I still use regular dressing - but my salads are smaller and I do try to stick to the 2 tablespoon serviing - I had the top of a cobb salad for lunch on friday ... Try diff kinds of food you will find what works for you I hate it when my angel gets me up at 4 - to go out - when I get up at 5 !!! Ok back to work - TTYL

Hope you made it GF - Question how are you on your vitamins??? Phyl - think of me while shopping !!! I'm on my 2nd cup of tea - I have trainer tonite I could go to sleep right now... Car What a great story !!!! Linda who doesn't post here anymore said the same thing about her son - it does get better

Restriction is when you eat hard protien and after a few bite you feel full and can't eat anymore - you don't feel it 24/7 you don't feel your band in your stomach - when you eat you get full on a smaller amount of food Some bands come with a little fill in them - some pple don't need fills just the band alone gives them the restriction they need to eat smaller quanities - some docs are agressive with fills and others aren't some fill 4 weeks 6 wks and 8 wks - I got to my sweet spot in 2 fills - some pple are on their 6th and still arent there... I'm almost 2 yrs out - below goal weight at healthy bmi weight but still afarid this isn't going to work or should I say I am afarid that I will go back to my old ways - and even with the band I know how to eat around it. I am very aware of my food addiction - one day at a time - that's all I can control - so that's what I stay focused on.

Good Morning Gang !!! Karla - I still smoke - so don't feel like the lone ranger - one thing at a time !!!! Phyl - cippiono sounds good - I has steak aspargus & rice for dinner - was shocked that I could eat it all !!! Densie - Well at least your Mom is getting better if she wants to eat... I use to be a night owl - now I am a morning one !!! Steph - Dinner sounds great - I know about motivation - it's cuz there are so many things that need to get done that you don't know where to start - so you just don't get started... Well that's me anyways.. - My dogs snore :0) Karri - your chick was rotten - omw - how gross !!! What did you end up fixing?? How's school today with all the changes that were announced on Friday... How are you feeling... Candice ?????????????????????? CBL :thumbup:

Just planted 2 choc rose bushes !!!! I now have 6 - plus one potted tree (rose) and have a beautiful green yellow rose bush comming in the mail - YES QVE Cottage Farm for my qvc girls (steph phyl denise) Good Morning Phyl... Yesterday Shrimp Alfredo !!!!! I never even ate that pre banding - but yesterday sounded good I was tired - went to the show saw Soloist (good movie jammie fox & robert downey did great jobs) had popcorn then dinner - so choice wasn't the best - but calories I was most likely ok - and gotta say I was full & satisfied.. Got my hair cut yesterday - same style but shorter - will maybe take a pic.. Well I need to get off the computer and go grocery shopping and target shopping and come home and do some wash but lbt and fb - what can I say I don't get crap done !!!! Candice Densie Kari how are things... TTYL I am getting in the shower !!!!! No more computer for a while !!!! I must I must get off the computer !!!! Hugs & love

Darling - I just hate that I can't fix your problems - But this is an age thing for me to say things do work out - My Dad would tell me this when crap happend to me when I was 21(Like getting let go from my job) he said something better will come along - and it did - it took a while - but it did. I am very glad you aren't going to become a alcholic - you know thats a big transfer addict for us - I would be sending you to betty ford if you did... We have 3 international schools (LaQuinta High School - John Glenn Middle School & Emily Earhart Elementary) they are all internatin baculaurtie (sp) schools !!!! School system has a way of taking great teachers who are there for the kids and euthiastic and turning them in to teachers who do as they (district) and go home. My son had a teacher in 3 or 4th grade she was excited - motivating and just fantastic - he got her again in like 6th grade - the district had broke her by then - I hate it as I have said before it's schools aren't about quality any longer its about the almighty dollar (yes I understand that its needed but at the expensive of the kids education??) Steph when my DS was about 15 I sent him to stay with my Sis & her husband and I felt he needed a male figure in his life - also my bro his godfather - helped when he was younger Michael is at that age were life is difficult - along with the other issues - Hugs !!! Karla Fantastic !!!

OMW !!!!! Denise - Hugs - get some sleep... Thanks for the info - Winnie the Pooh wasn't during my era nor my Ds either and GS was a Barney boy !!! Heck I never watched Bambi till Andrew was like 11 - what was that 7 yrs ago.. Steph - Andrew isn't a school person and I don't know if he was tested for learning disablity or not - school has never come easy for him - don't know what it is cuz he's not dumb.. and he does horrible on test.. Do you guys have an alternative school - once Andrew went to the alternative school he had smaller classes (which he seems to do very well with ) -Shorter class hours school from 8 to 12 and you work at your own speed (he had like 10 credits for 9th & 10 grade - he made the rest up and graudated early 3/25)- he did much better and they didn't have the kind of homework that they do in regular school.. He never had a fight at Summitt - was aide - where in the regular high school and jr high I was getting calls all the time - he got suspended for defending his self a couple of times.. Also we have something call home schooling - not where you teach but where they are given their assignments and do the work at home and then only go into school like on Friday to turn in their work and get it reviewed etc.. Yes I remember the struggles last year - I'm not up on all the new stuff with schools and laws - but understand your frustrations - I couldn't help Andrew with his math - he wasn't getting it - and failing - and the school could careless.. Hugs - it sounds like both Karri & Karla know there stuff - I would let Karri make that call - I would love to hear that one.. Steph - you get a cookie pass ok - don't sweat it - shit happens and we all binge at one time or another and this is a crisis - even non-xfatties do it - heck watch tv they show the skinny girls pigging out when they are in crisis mode Plus I don't want you over doing the exercise with you back issues.. Karri - Baby Girl - I'm so sorry about the 4 day work week - Only suggestion is look for another school district and move but I don't know if that's really an opinion in the current economical crisis that we are in... You can vent all you want - we understand - just wish that we could fix it for you.. Karla - I'm with you on the GSC - those are the choc/coconut ones right - I was never a big GSC person don't love the thin mints (doesn't mean I wont eat them) but I did love the coconut ones with choc.. And yes an extra light fudgecicle is 100% better than cookie and milk !! And it doesn't matter the size of your band - all I know is I have the new AP that they came out with last July - 1st the doc said large - I don't know what size large is - then he said small - so I don't know - I think I have 5cc or it could be 4.8 or 4.9 - don't remember never cared and could never figure out why pple do - all I cared about was that it worked - I got to my sweet spot in 2 fills - had a 3rd but all but .01 of that had to be taken out cuz I was too tight - so that .01 doesn't count as a fill but a tweek... Gang - it sure sound like everyone is having alot of crisis right now - I wish I could help ease some of your pain and frustrations - Please know that I would if I could and I hate not being able to help.. I will keep you all in my prayers tonite (well you are any way but will say some extra ones) And the only thing I can say is that this too shall pass and things will work out some how some way - I know that it doesn't seem that way right now - but it usually does - so please don't let these problems consume you to the point of making you sick - Ok - there will be a light at the end of the tunnel even though you can't see it right now Things happen for a reason and usually we learn from these trials - it make us stronger more able to deal with life's trials. I know I'm not in your guys shoes right now - but remember I have had my share of crap in the past year with my Son and his family (more serious than what I have posted here on the internet due the seriousness of the situtation not that I don't want to share with you all) and things have worked out (fingers crossed prayer said) - it didn't seem like it was going to work out then - but it has - just like it seems that all the crap from my bro's estate won't quit - but I know that it will and that I will have learned some big life lessons in the mean time.. Yep you still learn stuff at my age !!! We are here for each other - and know that you all can vent - cry - rant - rave and we will listen.. :thumbup:Big Big Hugs to you ALL :crying:

Hey Gang = I have reading but cheating with FB !!! Hugs Karri - I didn't sleep night before last either !!! Last night & yesterday period was hard on the wanting to eat -I did ok BF Yogurt/Granola 180 L One Pot Wonder 300 (about 1.5 cups veggei & pork) S 1/2 sb pt bar 100 - popcorn 100 D Fish (friend gave me some trout wasn't very good) rice brussel sprouts 305c S popcorn 100 sherbert 100 - pudding & nuts 120 juice 80c 1305 total calories for the day Jobs - I know that you don't want 4 day work week but better than no job Phyl the quilt is beatiful !!! Candice that snack just undid your exercise :w00t: Never was a McDonald person or fast food period- If I did eat ff it was a Del Taco red burritto extra sauce and extra cheese (a reg burrito is 400c) don't know what it is with the xtras - but can't eat them now. I have tried but they get stuck - FF now really isn't an option anymore - no good choices ok started this 2 hrs ago - but work keeps getting in the way :tt2: cbl - Hugs

Melissa Prior to banding I did everything in my power to avoid any kind of exercise - and even in the beginning I did it - but it was so hard - it does get easier - I can promise you that and in getting easier - you don't dread it so much... I can't say I LOVE it - but I do enjoy my 2 days with trainer and usually Saturday Mornings on the treadmill - it's my Tuesday's on the treadmill that can be a chore cuz I do it after work. But gotta say I love seeing the improvement in my balance strength and speed and incline... I went on a cruise in March and was able to zip line and repel in the canopy in Puerto Viarta... That was a thrill and a real 1st for me... I can say you may never LOVE it :thumbup:- but you won't HATE it :thumbup: and will come to LIKE IT VERY MUCH :smile:

How sweet - but you know what - it's my age !!! I that's one of the benefits of age... Life experience !!! I agree picking family is so much better - I think there is a saying about that :0) Karla you did great today - keep it up !!! Darling we are all the same way - we always want to justify our actions - and sometimes there just ism't any justification:) Hugs -

How funny that being tired is a food trigger for all of us... Ya I know that walking 3 miles on the treadmill only burns like 300 calories - so that 100 cal for each mile - 2 miles 1 candy bar - I rather not eat the candy bar than have to exercise - but know now that if I eat that candy - I HAVE TO EXERCISE

Denise - what does ttfn mean :rolleyes2: - I am glad you are working out your frustrations on the treadmill and not in the pantry !!! Prayer for your Mom ... Hugs.... Janet Ya Think !!!!! I am coming up there and kick your butt... 3 miles max no hills !!!! That would be fun (Napa) Sorry you won't get to see DS as much or long as you would like - at least the flat tire was on the car and not the MH... I thought Jeff was going out of town?? No more 7 miles do you hear me !!! Well back from the gym - did leg work out - food for today so far BF - banana cheerios 3/4 c 100 cal L- 1 pot wonder 1 cup 250 cal Snack - 1/2 c mix of strawberries & blackberries 40 cals 1 wasa cracker 30 with 1 tsp of pb - 130 c So I have about 680 for the rest of the night dinner will be about 310 - so that leaves me 370 for snack :tongue: popcorn 100 - juice 80 - sf pudding 120 = well theres 300 - so I am going to be good for the day.. Dinner will either be my pork tenderloin or chicken marinated in jerk sauce or I do have a piece of fish in there too - that rice and veggies - My DS just called they are comming for Mother's Day :tt1:
