TracyK

Laura-You look great!! What an inspiration that is!! You are such a beautiful girl...you are going to make a elegant beautiful bride...I really mean that! I tell you what, all that weight loss is in the best places, your tummy and your legs!!! You go girl, I am SO happy for you!:clap2:

LOL TracyK.. if only it was that easy huh? Yeah....its gonna be a joke. I am just hoping that people aren't whispering "I wish she would get that kid outta here" LOL If we have to leave early people will probably cheer:clap2:

<p>mdrai-sorry about your weight gain..I know it has to suck...but, it will sart going down again, so chin up!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Tracy-any special plans for your vacation? Don't forget what Terri said about having liquids & mushies after your PB episode! I did not know about that until she mentioned it to me.</p> <p> </p> <p>Laura-did you call the dr about the pain in your band from lifting that heavy bag (shame shame shame)</p> <p> </p> <p>adorable-what a great attitude to have! you are right, tomorrow is a brand new day!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Well, for fathers day my husband and I are planning on taking all three kids (12, 7 and 3) to Minute Maid Park to watch their first Astros game in person. They have never been to the ballpark so they are so excited! my 3 year old should be OK as long as the food and money doesn't run out. I have already told my DH to only expect 4 or 5 innings out of the 3 year old....have I lost my mind buying those tickets or what? Well, I will never know how she does unless we bring her, so keep your fingers crossed. The past couple of games we watched on TV I have told her "see all the people sitting down in the seats? We have to stay in our seats too or the people will make us leave, and we don't wanna leave, do we?" "no ma'am" she says. </p> <p>Thank God it is dollar sundae day....Iwish it would have been dollar hotdog day too, but can't win 'em all!!</p> <p>I will check in later...til then, take care!!</p>

TGIF!!! Good morning Violets! I hope everyone has a super-duper day!! Welcome to the "new Jen". That makes 3 or 4 now, right? The Tracys are outnumbered now...lol Take care everyone!

Theresa, that is awesome....I am so happy for you! Well done!!

She was put in originally because of who she is, let out because of who she is and sent back because of who she is...

Right, but, none of it would even be an issue if she was a nobody....

If the sherriff had sent home a "nobody" to serve out the rest of their jail sentence, the judge would probably have cared less. BUT, since people like Al Not-So-Sharpton exist, the judge felt pressured to do something. He sent her back to jail not because of what she did, but because of who she is....and to me, that is the part that is unfair. I do not condone DWI, but lets face it...the reality of it is that she was returned to jail because she is Paris Hilton.

Wow! So much to catch up from just this morning!! Chatty bunch of folks in here...I love it! Terri-Happy b-day violet sister...have a great day tomorrow with your friends and congrats on the scale movement! Tracy-I am scared to death to get a perm...you have more guts than I do. Even with a loose perm I end up looking like a cabbage patch doll...can't wait to see the pic! I am glad that you are happy with it! Jenn-prayers are coming your way about the job...good luck! mdrai-make sure to put on your list to get enough fiber...stay regular on your BMs...very important, for me anyway!! Judy-have a great time seeing your friends again and congrats on your weight loss too!! Pam-I do not think there are any rules about "PWI" (posting while intoxicated) So, the chiro popped me but I am still in agony. I go back Friday, but it won't be soon enough for me!! Everyone have a great evening and I will check back later!!

<p>Good morning everyone!</p> <p>Yesterday the A/C was broke at work, so I did what I had to do and then came home. Was doing some house cleaning and I bnt over to pick up a papertowel....WHAM, I strained a neck muscle OOWWIIIEEEE!!!</p> <p>Now I am sitting here with my neck and shoulder killing me. So, I am going into work late because I am going to my Chiro's office and sit there until he can see me. Weird how the slightest wrong movement can knock you on your a$$.</p> <p>Take care everyone and wish me luck at the Dr office...</p>

<p><p>quote=ibchelle can you please add me to your april violets also</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks Michelle</p> <p> </p> <p>start/current/goal</p> <p>340/294/200</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>WOW-look at that fantastic weight loss!! You should be very Proud of yourself!!<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> Welcome to the shrinking violets board!!</p></p>

I am so proud of all of you that are going out and busting your buns at gyms (or where ever)...that is totally awesome. I don't know what my problem is to be quite honest...well, yes I do, extreme laziness. I guess I have been waiting for the exercise fairy to come drag my ass outta bed, but we all know that is not gonna happen. I will just have to depend on good old fashioned will power and make myself take the plung. Sometimes I think my will power is just all being used up just on the "not eating junk" part....dear Lord, here come the excuses again....sorry

Good morning Violets- So, another day another dollar....ugh. Judy....thanks for noticing (smoochsmoochsmooch...muuuuah) lol Congrats on the gym joining Tracy....have FUN with it. Jenn-good luck with everything Everyone have a great day!!!

I very rarely am at a loss for words...but I am in just a "blah" mood this evening. Mondays suck....thank goodness the work day part is over. I will be glad when someone that does not know I have the band says something to me about my weight loss. When someone does, I think I will jump on whoever it is smother them with kisses When that happens, I will know that I gave up hamburgers for a good reason....

Good Monday morning violets- Everyone have a great day!! Jenn-So we are about the same goal wise...cool! That is a little extra incentive for me. But seems that you are a exercise queen, so you will probably beat me!! I think that is fantastic! So you are at 226 too? What is your goal weight? I am off to work...

<p>Jenn-I am like you about the bread thing. I miss it so much, but I do not want to think it is OK because then, katy-bar-the-door....</p> <p>I never really thought I ate that much of it before, now, I know it was a major part of my food intake. I am just trying to find something to replace a sandwich with and I have not found anything yet. I tried chicken wings too..OMG I was in heaven. It is hard to stop eating them though once I start. I have just seen myself getting caught into a rut eating the same old tired stuff over & over and i am scared to branch out into the "unknown".</p> OMG....i just looked at my own ticker and realized I am almost half way there!! woohooo

Has anyone tried to eat bread (toast, bagel, anything?)

banded 4/11/07 total loss since January is 43 pounds 31 since the band 1.5 cc Hi violets- I am now the official owner of...a bathing suit!! After 22 years (at least) my mom drug me out yesterday and she bought it for me. They now have an above ground pool and she knows how self conscious I am. I tried on the 18 and it FIT. Don't get me wrong, I could have probably fit into a 20 better, but the 18 fit and I knew that I would be lsoing more weight, so I did it....got into my "little" suit and got into the pool. I am so proud because when I put it on and looked in the mirror, I was not disgusted. Great feeling. Judy, congrats on seeing your friend again!! too funny!!! Jenn-I agree, June will be our month!!

Jen-yay!!! Believe me I know how happy you are. woohooo you!

Good morning violets!! I am down 2 more pounds!! woohooo! YAY ME!!! I don't have the strength this morning to mess with my ticker, so I will just do it later. I have had to redo that ticker so many times that I probably have about 50 passwords. Gina-I always have a problem with eggs. I don't know why. Denise-If I tried doing that zumba, they would have to call 911 for me. Laura-OMG whata gorgeous ring. TracyKS-yay for your restriction!! You know, we need about 1 or 2 more tracys in here to really confuse things. Talk about confusing someone enough for someone to go postal! You are looking great though. Susan-EEK!! If I lost weight in my boobies I would have to resort to a training bra or bandaids. Have a great day everyone. 269/257/226 today

LOL Judy...I like to put a pair of the old twelves and and watch them drop to the floor....

Good morning everyone!! I am still stuck at 228...that bites. But, I would rather stand still than to gain. I am still "full of it"...tmi for you all I am sure, sorry. But I know I am going to drop the pounds once I get some fiber sure in my system Laura-what a beautiful dress and shoes!! You must be SO excited! TracyKS-you crack me up!! I have the batwing thing going too. I have a phobia of short sleeves. Pam-The 5 lbs is probably water weight, so don't sweat it....well, actually, do sweat it...lol then, no more problem!! Take care & have a great day everyone!!! TGIF!!!!!!!
