Teresita

I am .....I'll just say my plate is full. I feel like I don't have anything to give to anyone else right now. I feel like I am eating everything. few string beans, 2 bites of beef...golf ball 8:30am granola bar 11am brownie sundae 1:30 asian salad 2:10 cereal, fried chicken thigh5:45 grape mike and ike candy 6:30 piece of eckridge sausage and fruit 9pm Bed 12pm Again it is not a meal. I am scared to weigh in this evening. The weekend was so full I did not walk. Sat morning ran errands to begin DD hair for school. I was so tired I went to bed early. Got up early to volunteer and came home to continue to hair. Washed clothes and then she took a nap so I cooked dinner. She got up and I finished her hair but I kept going back for another piece of beef. Yesterday I do go to TTC so I am happy about that.

Head up, shoulders back, smile and move forward.....

I am not looking forward to weighing in tonight but I will. Did anyone hear of rain:rain: if so I won't go. I don't want to get wet.:twitch:

I have been eating.....

WOW now that is a before and after pic. You look GREAAATTTTT. Congratulations on your fresh start on life. Live It!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I am so thankful for LBT and it's members. I am thankful that I know the Lord Jesus Christ and have accepted him as my personal savior and so has my immediate family. Salvation is wonderful but just to know that he is there with you every step of the way. Through your triumps and your stuggles he is right beside you and you don't even have to pick up the phone to call him. It is awesome that as soon as you say "I am so alone" "What am I going to do" you remember that he is there at that very moment and as you begin to start praising him and just being thankful for your many blessings....you can smile through the tears. I said to my daughter yesterday, what do people do who don't know God. It has to be something else. I am thankful that I believe.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I LOVE IT!!!!

You look AWESOME and the family is beautiful.....Job Well Done:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congratulations and Good Luck I did have the liquid diet for about a week before surgery. Although your doctor does not demand a bowel clense, I would suggest a good cleaning out before surgery. On the boards it seems to cut down on the shoulder pain gas. Be sure to have chewable gas xxtra strength on hand for when you get home. The pillow a must, my hosptial gave me pillow, thank God because it was a long bumpy ride home from Fairfax to MD.

August 17, 2006 Mix It Up! BLC Members know that variety is the spice of life when it comes to exercise. Going to the gym may have become part of your routine. But when you get there, you do your 30 minutes on the treadmill, do your weights, then do your crunches, then do your stretches...then (yawn) do it all again the next day. Don't bore yourself into quitting! As one BLC member said this week. "Any time you add to or change your workout, your body is more apt to lose weight. Basically, if you do the same thing everyday, you body gets used to it and doesn't use up as many calories. Changing your workout often keeps your body guessing...AND makes it so you don't get bored doing the same thing every day!" Other BLC members agree: "I have started to run a little, with the help of a personal trainer. I can now do a 12-minute mile--not pretty to watch, but I can do it. I am not a runner. What helps me is to warm up for about 20 minutes on the elliptical or stair master, then get on the treadmill." "I go to cycle classes, step classes, and body pump classes (weight lifting) AND yoga. Most of these classes are for beginners." Remember, the Biggest Loser Club plan is designed for immediate weight loss as well as maintenance for the long haul. You don't want to eat the same thing everyday, day after day. Why would you want to do the same exercise? Pull yourself out of your workout rut!

Goodness 8 bowling balls, I can't even imagine. Thank you for that analogy. I do feel great and I will kick my but into gear so I can get rid of another 8. I guess I will be doing backflips by then. Lord thank you for the LBT family and especially I'll Succeed. Lord thank you for hearing and answering our prayers for her recovery. Lord thank you for whippledaddy while he was on LBT. Please continue to be with and bless his family. This time is hard for all of them but with you Lord life will be a joy again and they will be able to say his name, smile and be thankful that they had the short time with him. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

WOW that is the first thing that comes to mind. I am so happy you are back and doing so well. God is amazing and thank you for your testimony. You are so special to us and I thank God he has given you back to us. I'm with Penni, I will be awaiting Sarge's direction and of course if I can help you in any way, just say the word. Hugggs and Kisssessss:grouphug:

My father had sever gout occasionally. Try keeping a food journal to present to your nutritionist or doctor. Cherries are good for goout or cherry juice.....not the ones in a martini glass either. I wonder if Isopure is purine rich? Whatever you do don't drink orange juice, that stuff was killer for him http://www.goutpal.com/food-for-gout.html Scoll down to see a list with their ph levels. Physical therapy can show you alot of upper body cardio exercises to do. Good Luck New Guy

What kind of protein are you having?

Yeahhhhhhh you go girl. Dr. Greene is excellent I hear.

Ohhhh I'm sorry, you will get it all worked out. Do you have your CPAP on right now?

bumpppppiiinnnnngggggg

Real job????? Part time as a dental assistant for a family friend. I learned a lot.....yuck. I didn't have to work for quite a while because I did hair and had a nice clientele. he he he he

Greg thank you for infoming us. Photonut thank you for pulling Ryans last post. It was eloquent to say the least and unsettling that he knew some of my pain. You can run, you can try to hide and you can fight...... My prayers are with his family.

WOW I want some that>>>>>

Vines I'll help you with the wine part. I like coolers so let's start there. Bartles and James would be a good start or Smirnoff or Jack's hard lemonade.....ooohhhhh over 500 calories a bottle.....never mind. Where is the pasta and pizza?

It is Wednesday, I'm Ok because I know that I am blessed. I have to find the motivation to keep going and do more and do better. I have to make a phone call or two and I will be fine. Life is short......I want to LIVE IT!!!! I gained 3 pounds, I'm ok but I don't like it. I will be out of the 380's this month. I will begin 30 minutes a day, everyday.
