:deviousSARGE HERE:devious Brilliant Private Skinner! Also any lose of measurements & or Body Fat % will be perfect! Between the two of us it should work out. Thank you! The SUN is shining today Privates where I stand So that means where ever you stand its work out time! No Excuses No Whining No Crap What So Ever! When I say its sunny outside - Its Sunny!!! Be Proud of yourself today & Really get in a great workout!!! that doesn't mean running w/the kids or house work or gardening or walking the dog either. I mean a workout that is JUST ABOUT YOU & YOU ONLY! Don't think about when & how Just go change your outfit if needed and go do it!!:devious:devious:devious Even if its only 20 mins make it about Y*O*U

I love my scale it is a Tanita.(any good sports store or Bed Bath & Beyond) It gives me both my weight & body fat% everyday. But if you do not wish to spend more money on a scale I suggest going to a sports store(Dicks) & seeing if they have seperate units that measure body fat %'s. Again if you don't wish to spend money- simply don't worry about it:0) Its not the main thing to think about - your inches are the main thing. Let me know what you end up doing. Way to go PUDDIN!!!!! Great Job Jen- Feel better! I too have been fighting a minor cold for 1 week now. Its been rough at night but the days aren't that bad. OK All you TOPS Girls I can't wait to see all your results- I am very excited!!!! Please let me know if your all OK with me listing them when you reinput next Sunday /Monday? If you are at all disappointed- I will make sure I make an extra weigh in day on Wednesdays. I want to support you all in everyway possible. I just never know how busy the week gets & Sundays/Mondays have always been open.

My age is 39.3 & my "real age" is 39.6 ! Almost dead on. All I need to do is eat more fish:0) Wish I actually already knew. I would love to get down about 5 yrs. Truely I feel like I am closer to 29 30.LOL

Thanks Jane! Good Job!! Sheryl- I just wanted to tell you I am SO Jealous! Well done!

:devious SARGE HERE:devious Not to shabby for week number one Privates There are several Privates MIA so if you see them on the boards remind them to weigh in & be held accountable!!! There are a few privates in TOPS, they weigh in on Tuesdays generally. I do all the Updates on everyones weight loss/gains on Sundays & Mondays. So for you Privates in TOPS please do me the favor of telling me your weights/measurements & Bodyfat% on Sunday or Monday. You'll just have that many extra days to loose those pds:0) It will just get to busy/confusing to do updates on 3 seperate days. So for now If you haven't updated by tonight I will get all your new stats next Sunday/Monday. I will also do my very best to try & double check to add people on Tuesday when ever possible. I will try! Private Jane- I am not sure if you down or up? Chin Up Private Jammin- keep track of those inches - you may surprize yourself Private Vegas & Keekahari- HOT DAMN !!!!

HI everyone- Well I too couldn't quite resist the baklavia yesterday but did stop at two very tiny pieces. The good news was that I am down a whole 2.5 pds. I am very happy with that and only .5 from hitting my 40 pd mini goal. Keep trying harded everyone each & everyday- Remember hard work pays off!!

ILMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For sure they do- I was a 8 1/2 & when I tried some shoes this past fall nothing fit! I had to go buy 2 pair both were 9 1/2. It seemed more in my length BUT couldn't have been true b/c now I am almost 40 pds down & now my old shoes are fitting again! thank goodness!

That is a great sign- I just know you'll be living that dream just has you imagined. Best of everything!

I just bought my first bathing suit in yearsssssss & it was a tank-kinni. The top needs to be adjusted w/a seamstress for more support. I am a 36 DD+. But after that I would feel comfortable in about 15 pds to wear for this summer & plan on doing it!!! I will be a 14 by than I think! My goal is a 10.

I used straws in the very early stages post-op. But than after about a month I simply graduated to no straw. Favorite straw game: adding liquid to the wrinkled paper from off the straw & making it grow & move like a worm:0)

I have eaten & had zero problems with everything you have listed. In fact am having sushi tonight!!! But I do not do oysters- I usually would have them rockerfeller but am way to afraid of not being able to chew them well enough. Also celery is best when cut up very very small & used in something like tuna fish or w/low fat blue cheese! Yum I am getting hungry. The champagne I steer clear of but do have a n occasional diet soda after it has sat out awile & drank very very slowly.

Super News! A New Band Baby Horaay!!!!

I feel my band everytime I eat. I also feel my band when I do certain exercises. But its a very soothing sensation, knowing that its there. Its more of the port area I feel when exercising & more of the actual band around my stomach when eating. My food tickels when it goes through & I know exactly when it passes.

Trish- I just want you to know that I am following your story & am thinking of you in my prayers. I hope all goes smoothly over the next month for you.

Way to go Teresa!!!! The Sarge woke up cranky today & said he was going to be in a foul mood for at least the next 2 weeks! OMG! Were gonna all have to really buckle down if we can survive these next 11 weeks. One thing is for sure it will all be worth it in the end! Don't ya agree?

HOw Perfect What a beautiful son you have!!! I too had a rabbit growing up, her name was Oreo. Eventually she went to the school farm where I was told she had babies. At least that the story I choose to remember-lol lol :0):Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

PRIVATE SUPERDADDY!:devious SARGE HERE :devious What the HELL do you think your doing? PRIVATE SUPER DAD! Happy?? You think that makes the SARGE Happy?? I hope you enjoyed your little gullet feeding frenzy!!! BECAUSE from here on out YOU'RE GONNA BE ONE OF MY #1 Problem childs I can already feel it! Don't get all pissy & moany with me PRIVATE! Gym in the morning ...you say? More like gym in the morning & running 3 to 5 miles at night is more like it! Don't think you did yourself any favors by putting that refined crap in your mouth. Don't you know its APRIL PRIVATE!!! What will all your neighbors think when they see you cutting the grass??? I don't want to hear one little complaint from you Private! You've had your fun ----All I want to see is a 2 pound loss or more come Sunday/Monday morning! FALL IN PRIVATE SUPERDADDY! Whats in a name Private??? Read your name outloud Private! Outloud!!!!! "SUPERDADDY!" Now...whats in a name Private??? A whole hell of alot! Get to work! :deviousBoooooyahhhh!:devious

Just do a search on the internet or better yet try & call your local Walmart Super store:0)

BigEthel- So sorry to hear about your ordeal - but you will get through this & you should take this time to really consintrate on your mental game plan. It sucks to go through what your going through- BUT if you keep focued & stubborn maybe in the end you'll bestronger than you were before - I believe you will be:0) Penni- I can only imagine not having my band!! But if therre is one person that can conquer her demonds on her own- its you!!!!! Get pissed! Thats what I would have to do & you & I are two peas in a pod. Get angry & go grocery shopping & buy an arsenal of health against the demond! Focus on nothing but weight loss while your away for 10 days. Most importantly COME STAY WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;0) Sue- Welcome aboard!!! JanetC & Teresa- way to go Girlies!!!! I lost one pound according to the scale- didn't exercise- thats today but got all my Water in & ate healthy. So something worked!

I would tell her the "easy way out is ......doing nothing at all." Plain & simple. This gal that wants the band is commited to working towards a goal. Working I said & everything that goes along with that work isn't easy, its work.

What a GREAT Transformation!! You're looking AWESOME!!
