Welcome fellow Jerseyian Where in Jersey are you ? I believe you came to the right place for help, the folks here are wonderful. The best thing you can do is research the life out of it and go from there. Good luck !!!

Good Luck today !!! Gentle hugs and kisses

Thanks Alex, we'll check it out :) Zan your mom is very young. I'm glad her testing came out good though and your home relaxing. Hang in there !!! Beanie that would be cool to get together. Is there any chance you could come out earlier in the day, only b/c its a school night and I must get DD ready and in bed early. If you can't its okay, maybe we could meet for lunch one day. I'll see if the boss is going away and I'll pick you up. Well today is a lazy day, HA! Gotta run to a few stores, DH need wood so we're off to Lowes and I'm off to BJ's to get some milk and stuff for new years eve. G'ma Pat, I keep meaning to ask you how your Mom is feeling lately? Watcha all doing today?

Yeah !!! Shanna and DT are here Thanks everyone !!! I cleaned the treadmill off yesterday so I have no excuse. I will post my food later b/c when you go to edit a post all you get are wacky smilies and its a pain, so I'll post it later. Breakfast for me today is coffee, I am not hungry (suger overload from yesterday.....you betcha oy). LET THE FUN BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cindy, me too, I'll be totally honest in posting my food journal. I have to start writing it down so I can see what I'm doing. I'm so glad your gonna play Patty, I'm so happy you got to your Mom's in time and your enjoying your family. The Crystal Cath... WWOWWOWWEEE how cool is that. I get all choked up in church too and I always cry so your not alone. You were in music? WAT TO COOL, who did you use to sing with ??? You sound like such a neat person. I don't blame you for not telling anyone. I am the same way. The only ones that know in my family is my sister/mom and DH. No one else unless my big mouth mother told my brothers. I hope not b/c its none of their business ya know lol. Enjoy the rest of your vacation !!! Hugs and have a safe trip home. Zan little chicklet, I'm glad your home and Mom is doing better. I don't know one house hold that doesn't have sick family members. Did she have that stomach / flu thingy thats going around? Good to see you lady !!! Okay I'm going to get my jamies on and watch the rest of Scooby Doo #2 with DD and DH. Talk to you tomorrow. Hugs

Oh thanks so much Heather & Cindy. I do appreciate your help and please, if you see me doing something that I shouldn't KICK MY ARSE !!!! I'm thick skinned and you can say anything PLEASE !!! Cindy, eating after 7 is just something I can not do. I go to bed at 8 and I can feel it laying in my chest, so I really don't have a choice LOL.... I'll take it ya know. Most of my weight was gained after 7 pm so this is all new to me and very much welcomed. Great !!! See you tomorrow **WHOOHOOO**

Congratulations G'ma Pat !!!!! Hugs and Kisses SMOOOOCH !!!!!! He's beautiful

Me too girl, struggling like you wouldn't believe. I ate a HUGE salad today with all sorts of naughty things in it. I couldn't believe how much I could eat at this point. I don't have a fill yet either. We have to be patient and know that good things come to those who wait. At least the scale is going down instead of up. Chin up okay. You'll get there HUGS !!!!!

Good luck tomorrow Sara. We'll be praying for you. I understand exactly how you feel but you'll be home so fast and on your way to losing weight... its exciting !!! Hugs sweetie !!!!!

Oh Frank, I'm sorry for the weight gain. Its so hard to get back on track from the holidays isn't it. I'm having the same problem. This is what I'm going to do: First get rid of all the junk in my house. Second make a plan. Plan what your going to eat for the week on Sundays. Planning does help you stay on track and not wonder what your going to have for the next meal. Third, Water, track your water and make sure you get enuf. Forth and final.... Exercise (this is hard for me b/c I hate it) Even though I don't like to admit it, exercise is the key. Weather it be a walk or a run, what ever floats your boat.... just do it. Ask your wife to really get involved. It helps when an extra set of eyes are watching and can help us see things we don't. Good luck Frank, you've done amazing work so far and your wife gets a big BRAVO from me as well. HUGS !!!

Stephanie, I feel the same way. Although slippage never entered my mind and it really doesn't consern me at this point. I do know from reading countless posts here that the band really doesn't work without a fill. Please ask your doctor if you can schedule a fill. I get mine on January 6th. Also remember you might need more than one fill to make this work. Hang in there !!!! We'll get thru this together Hugs.

ICK !!!!! Gotta keep looking at this as a reminder... dang !!

Cindy, sorry to hear about FIL, yikes. I hope you had a relaxing day. A relaxing day for me is not getting out of my jamies How's DD doing? Oh I've been meaning to ask you. How are you doing since your fill, do you feel any different as far as amount of food you can eat? Good luck with your car sweetie !!! Beanie girl, lemon bars ARE the best. I'm so glad I don't have them laying around b/c I would figure out a way to eat them all in one day. Shopping at 11 pm WOWEE you wild thing you. I'm usually sleeping by 8 pm ROFL!!! What kind of nuker did you get? If I had know you liked the lord of the rings, I would have brought you to my house, that movie is the bomb and DH and I actually went to see the last one in the movie theater after 10 years of not seeing one single movie in a theater. Of course we pick what? a 4 hour movie. Our rear ends were numb lol. Betty thats so cool you got to play outside today. It was freezing here today and windy. For some reason I felt bone cold all day. I am not getting near a scale until Jan 6 when I have no choice b/c I am seeing my doc for a fill then. Lordy be, Ive prob gained 10 lbs BOOOHHHOO lol. We didn't go to the movies but we did go to unbelieva-bills, its a kids play place and they have 4D movies that we watched... WAY TO COOL !!!! The lion, witch and wardrobe is over 2 hours and DD is not going to sit for that long so we will wait until it comes out on DVD. Cindy I'm glad its not to scary. My dd likes scary things (not REAL scary, like harry potter scary). TTYL, gotta give stinky a bath (DD lol). Hugs and thanks for letting me rant here.

Hi Everyone BURP!! I stuffed myself again today... This is sick !! I sware I'm throwing out the chips and boxes of chocolate tonight. This is frightening b/c I was good all day up until 1 hour ago when I said I could eat all that crap. Tomorrow I get my ass on the treadmill, and I'm gonna start logging in my food right here on this board. I'm really ashamed of letting myself go beyond Christmas day.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Getting mad IS GOOD !!!!!! RIGHT !!! I can eat a ton and I feel like I'm damaging my pouch but it doesn't hurt...this isn't fare... Okay Rant Over !!!! I'm going to start a Monthy Eatery / Exercise thread, anyone care to join me it would be cool to have support. HUGS !!! GROWL SNORT SNARL WOOOF !!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone MangerScene.bmp

Cool Poll ~~~~

Good Morning, Hi Cindy, glad your Christmas went well, your watch sounds very pretty I got a pretty pink necklace from my friend in california, and DH got me the 3rd episode of the Golden Girls. We didn't go crazy with each other b/c we just bought a pool and it will be installed in the spring, that cost us ALOT!! plus we are building a deck on the back of the house, and we got a new christmas tree. We didn't go nuts on DD either, but between my neices, inlaws, mom and others, we did spend a small fortune anyway. What can you do.... Christmas is GOOD !!! I gained a few pounds too, I'm so afraid of getting on the scale, I mean I ate like a pig, so I'm trying HA! trying to be good until Jan 6th fill. Well its off to some cleaning today and maybe a movie depending on how the day goes. I'd like to take DD to see the lion witch and wardrobe. Have a splended day !!!

GOOD LUCK !!!! We're all rooting for you

Happy Birthday Little Angel !!!
