Oh the movie was great... My GH and I had appetizers for dinner and coffee's.. then split a bag of popcorn at the movies... but it had butter on it.. so I had to count THOSE calories!! GLad you are feeling better... Yes the WHITE Basmati rice is the only kind I buy. I have Tried and tried BROWN rice... but I just never like the consistency.. I know its better for you, but I'll just toss in a tblspn of Ground FLax seeds to make up for the roughage.... LOL Earl and his planes, it reminds me of Peter and his Guitar parts, sound equipment... yada,yada, yada... these are HIGH maintenance MEN~~~:tt1:

You know what Karri, I hate that LULL in the Wii fit too... I'm anxious to know if the PLUS $24.95 here to upgrade is worth the investment... does it PLAY faster???? How on earth do you bicycle with a Wii?????

Dinner and a Movie with a GF.. we went to see "Its Complicated"... very very funny... we missed some of the lines cause we were laughing so hard.. Alec Baldwin was awesomely funny. food, a litte high and way too much FAT CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,304/78/73/42

o.k. Ladies I've gone back thru the tread and PM'd or emailed everyone interested in a get together in Barrie... SO lets see who responds!!! :tt1: Paramedic Mom Onikenbai Corine E.L. Goober RPA Donnamb Miss Rebecca Betty BOop

Hi gang, we are arraanging the FIRST Coffee/Support Group meeting in BARRIE, On. WEDNESDAY, Jan 13th STARBUCKS... during the daytime... SO PRIVATE MESSAGE me to confirm and get location and time.... I've already heard from Corine (Barrie) but all others are welcome.. Candice

Hi, I've been banded since July 07 and the first year I lost 60 lbs.... then a whole year of messing around... weight stayed the same. THis year, as motivation I am planning a TT as my reward to getting to goal weight... Now since Xmas I have lost 7 lbs... so I am back on track.. I just had to give myself a good SHAKE and remind myself that I didn't spend $16k to get half-way healthy...I wanna be ALL the way healthy and at a good weight for my height...5"5" 150 lbs will be a nice finish.

more sewing today... still snowing here... which is a problelm cause I was gonna drive into Barrie, see my MOM and meet a new Lapbander friend who lives there, gonna try and get a minimeeting of Lbanders going...wish me luck!

Kari, that fabric is from the collection by NORTHCOTT, Mark Lipinski's HOME #3001 Now I am sure that you can google NORTHCOTT fabrics and find out from them if there is more and they'd probably ship too.

Unless it was BROWN rice, I think what you had is called BASMATI rice... its divine!!! Very aromatic and has kinda a nutty taste to it... It is all I buy... enjoy!

Yeah, so glad to hear that :thumbup:

Be careful what you wish for HA<HA<HA<HA:tt2:

No worries Mate, the more info you have the better decision that you will make.:smile2:

Candice I had taken a break - I would let a lot slide - but remember we all are back on the band wagon.. Ya I think I would have gotten a little pissy at you go and leave me alone - I would have maybe said fine and booked a plane to Cali - I got a room(so your only cost would be airfare) and our weather is great - No snow:tongue: Isn't that green quilt the one that was on my bed this summer :thumbup: Oh the quilt that was on YOUR bed in July was Teal, Pink w/ Black, a double size: the one in the picture here is a Lap quilt and I think it was on Kari's single bed in the basement. Thank you for the invite to Indio! I am giving him until Feb 15th and then if he's got his feet planted FIRM then I WILL take a vacation on my own. VERY, VERY tempting!!! :smile2:

What were those hamburger we had?? Was that Moose?? Who killed the moose?? Peter doesn't seem like a hunter to me lol :0) Can't see him being a killer - I know he was in the service had had to shoot a gun - but - just don't seem him out there hunting bambi :0) Yup, thats right Janet - they were MOOSE burgers we had in July. Remember how much you all liked them. This roast is of the same animal... its beeen in the freezer eh? The poor little Moose was road-kill. He/she was hit by an 18 wheeler on Hwy 11 up north where my Sister and BIL live. My BIL is on the CALL list for the O.P.P. (police) and when your number comes up and they have a dead moose on the road you get to butcher it and keep the meat. So this moose was not shot, it was killed by HEAD Trama... "waste not want not" I have the roast in the Slow Cooker, been on all day and it is smelling goooooood. I only hope its not tough as we invited friends for dinner! :smile2:

Ya, got to the gym today!!! YEAH and I also had some success on the scale this a.m..... things are working! Peter and I went to the gym together, but I didn't let him rush me... I said to him, do anothe 15 on the eliptical and I'll have my WEIGHTS done by then...then I wnt and talked to a trainer to get my FREE weights into the Fitliynxx computer so they'll count towards my goals.. Its a silly thing, but I am competive by nature so I like to see the numbers changeing as I lift more weight. My Rt knee has settled down, so my lft one had to chime in today. not really bad just a weird Twinge??? Then we drove to Collingwood, to do some errands and DH and I went to McD's for lunch. I had a Snack wrap ranch chicken, could only eat 1/2, so gave the rest to DH and he had a chicken sand, coffe & muffin... what happend to his plans for SOUTH BEACH I don't know, but it's not my problem... I have my OWN plan ... and I'm sticking to it... Having Moose roast tonight for dinner, mashed potatoes, veggies and crustless Pumpkin Pie cups for dessert.. I wont' be able to eat all that so I'll save my Pumpkin dessert for my even. snack. CBL ladies, have a great day!

Ahw Karri: all the good advise has been given, so I am just gonna send you some cyber ((((HUGS)))) I wish I lived closer too to all you guys.. But, we're only a CLICK away, so rant on... its o.k. FOrget about the cals rightnow, your BODY needs to heal and its just one more stress you don't need. I just know your Job MOVE will happen so relax about that now if you can. GET SOME SLEEPING PILLS, I take XXXXXXXX but its called Ambian in the U.s. it works awesome.. You'll feel so much better if you're getting proper sleep.

O.K. THIS IS THE DECEMBER 09 BLOCK... FULL VIEW.. THE FIRST PIC WAS A CLOSEUP SO YOU COULD SEE THE QUILTED DESIGN. what can I say... I ate a piece of pie!

OK I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE:rolleyes:

hey you TUrkey BIRD... no more disappearing o.k you are in it with US for the LONG haul.. So you got sidetracked, big deal... we ALL relapsed during December, so you are not alone...Trick is to not make RELAPSE your way of life... get back into recovery with us... JOurnal your food everyday and post it here... it helps me a lot... ! hour of pedaling is just not going to do it...you need to change up your program and TRICKyour body...Its gotten used to the same old, same old workout. Mid February for FLORIDA eh??? Where do you guys hang out there? DH and I had a tif yesterday about making some sort of vacation decision... In the aft. he says oh why don't you go witha GIRLFRIEND and leave me alone... Ticked me right off, Yes I have lots of GF but I wanna go someplace WITH my man while I've still GOT him... we are burring too many friends husbands lateley... SO I got pissed. He went out last night to band prac. and when he came home he said we could go to FLA the last part of FEB... so we'll drive, take the pups, stay one WEEEK in FLA and drive home (3 days ea way) so it works out to 2 weeks... so that's the deal... Now I have to find a rental, but I got time.. So let me know wher you guys land in Fla, perhaps I can find a place near there too. HUGS, Candice p.s. the quilt pics got deleted cause I had an UGLY pic of myself in the szame post...had to get ride of it... oh sh!t that's the wrong pic ... the real one is on the downstairs compuete.., ill find it later
