Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope ya'll have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Bet she's kicking herself for not voting off Vicky last week.... I was soooo proud of Michelle and Renee....they did awesome!!! Hope they can keep it for next week.

Congrats Red!! I remember thinking I would never finish that 20 minute straight run, but when I did....boy was it amazing!! Good luck, you can do it!! Gypsy, we all try to keep each other in line here, but I think there's always room for improvement. We'll be glad to be your training buddies. Are you going to do the C25K or something else? Good luck to you at whatever you do. Renewed~ Yes, I'm in. I may start on Friday though. I sure don't want the holiday food kicking my butt! I am going to watch my carbs and run...A LOT!! I'm ready to see my scale move closer to Onederland!! I'm sick of being in the 200's. I'm sure I will not be able to stick to low carb on Thursday (since we have 3 different places to eat at!), but I'm going to try not to do too terribly. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

Welcome Beanie!! You will love running. I never thought I would be able to run. I love it!! Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress. I have been doing pretty good lately. I've been running for the past few days. Also, I am ashamed to admit that I had gained 10 lbs before my fill last week. I've started watching my carbs again and I've already dropped 5 of those pounds. I hope to be back at my ticker weight soon. This isn't really a good time to start watching carbs, with the holidays and all, but it seems like it's the only way I can lose. I think has to do with PCOS. Carbs are the devil!! Anyway, I am going to try to stick to my plan through Thanksgiving...we'll see!! It's gonna be hard not to eat any sweets.

Today~ 30 minute run

Thanks luluc! Saturday~ 30 minute run Sunday~ Nothing Today~ 30 minute run

Totally agree with this one. I used to sweat ALL the time...it was soooo embarrassing. It's funny because now I stay cold all the time. Never thought that would happen, lol. I certainly don't miss always being the biggest person in the room. My confidence is soooo much better now. Another thing....it used to be a real struggle to get up off the couch. It was embarrassing, especially at social functions. It's so nice to be able to get up with no problem now.

Ya'll look absolutely fabulous!! Looks like ya'll were having a blast!!

Hey SugarBean!! I tend to have trouble with scrambled eggs, even when I don't have good restriction. Deviled eggs and omlettes are okay, there's just something about those scrambled eggs that make it hard to go down for me. Glad you had a good trip! Lynn~ Welcome back! I missed you! I'm glad you posting again and glad you are going to start running again. I *think* I am back on track. Just hoping I can stay there. Kathy~ Sounds like ya'll had a good time!

Mine too! I used to get the caramel macchiato (sp?), but now I get the cinnamon dolce skinny latte. I love it!

Kathy, glad you like your job. I can sense your excitement, lol. It did feel really good to run today and I'll be making a point of keeping it up. Sugar, have a great shopping trip! You should buy something nice for yourself....you deserve it!! Be safe and have fun!

Kathy, it's good to hear from you. I sure do miss chatting with you during the day. Sorry your DD is sick. Hope she feels better soon. Are you still liking your new job?

Well, I went to gym today and I feel great. I did my first *real* run in almost two weeks. I've done a little running outside a few times, but nothing to speak of. I ran for 20 minutes and did the Stair Master. Also did some upper body work. Anyway, glad to be back on track!!

Ok....got my booty in gear and went to the gym. 20 minutes upper body strength training 30 minutes treadmill (20 min straight run, 10 min incline walk) 10 minutes Stair Master May do the Wii Fit for a while tonight too.

Your welcome luluc. I'm glad they liked it. The first time I made it was for a church function and everyone just raved about it. I love this soup and make it a lot in the winter.

Just curious....why do you have to give up the chai and hot chocolate??? I'm not much of a hot tea drinker either, but I love chai tea. I add a little splenda and just a little milk to it. I also buy the Alpine sugar free apple cider mix, it's pretty good. I also drink the diet hot chocolate mix. I drink coffee in the mornings and the others at night.

Hi guys! I have been slacking lately. I've only ran 3 times since my 5k....ughhh. I'm running another 5k December 6th, so I gotta get my booty back in gear. I will start running again tomorrow. If I don't post, someone track me down and kick my butt, lol. Everyone is doing such a great job!! Happy birthday Ceradad!!

It's called Bandster Hell, lol. Yeah, it's rough, but it will get better once you get a fill. It may even take a couple of fills, but you will get there. Hang in there.

Same with me. I don't use childrens utensils, but I do use small plates. It really does help. Good luck!

Whoooo Hooooo Renewed!! I'm sooooo happy for you! You are awesome!! As for me, I gotta get my butt back in gear. I've only ran one time in a week. I'm doing another 5K on December 6th, so I gotta get busy. I am definitely going to run tomorrow. Renewed, your post has inspired me. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Sugarbean!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOOO!! WTG!!

My surgeon used PCOS as a comorbidity. I also had sleep apnea, so that was a biggie. It definitely couldn't hurt to use it. Do you have any other comorbidities??

Hey Kathy. No, they do not do fills under fluroscopy. I wish they did. It's funny you mention that because I talked to my fill nurse about my port. It has shifted a bit. They are still able to access it, so it isn't causing a problem right now. Maybe a stitch popped loose or something. I really don't think that my loss of fluid is completely due to evaporation. All of us on here exercise a lot and no one else seems to have this problem. I dunno, I'm just hoping this fill will last a while. I ran for a little bit last night outside. I couldn't run long because it was pretty cold. My throat is sore this morning too. I'm going to make sure I run today before the sun goes down. Have a great day ya'll!!

Totally agree.....STUPID decision!! The ONLY way she will be able to stay in the game is if she never falls below the yellow line with another blue team member. I was rooting for Colleen. Bummer... On the bright side, Colleen looked amazing!!

They all look great!! Especially Michelle!! And yeah, so does evil Vicky.....I hate that, lol.
