I took the kids to the park and I actually played with the kids. Chased them over the verticle monkey bars. I felt so much lighter! It felt great!!!! 2/13: 202 -1 My NSV is sort of a hokey one, I can span my back with just the width of my thumb and index fingers put together....I have never been able to do that before...I am amazed....lol. :-)

Hi everybody. Hope everybody is having a great day! There are quite a few banders in Mesquite..we should get together and have our own little support meeting.

You are not alone and tomorrow is a brand new day. You have your plan...one meal at a time. You can do it Doll!

Welcome to LBT!

Hi Paula! Welcome to LBT!

Jay, don't get bummed out...it could be just water weight. I gained like 4 pounds of water almost last night. I took a water pill to combat the effects and it is already working. I know how you feel though...I saw 201 this week!!! We will get there...I know we will.

I have an old fashion regular scale...I intend to invest in a digital one when the money improves...right now I will just have to stick to old reliable.

Now I liked the GNC 100% Whey protein, but I got it in Chocolate Carmel and Chocolate. I mixed it with skim milk and a teaspoon of ff/sf pudding. I also sometimes put a tablespoon of pb in mine.

I wish we would have received a little of that snow....we just got a little rain and that was about it.

I would take the money and not give it a second thought. This is your life and you have to do what is right for you. If diets would have worked you wouldn't be where you are. It is not like you are not going to pay the money back.

Best wishes to Anne!

You go Margo!!! Keep up the great work!

Everybody gave you such great advice. I can eat rice...just real slow and tiny bites...by the time I am finished I often feel it wasn't worth the effort...so I don't eat it much anymore.

Here, here Vines...that is exactly what I would have done. If I could have avoided it...I wouldn't have paid for the dinner and walked out left the bartender holding the bag sort of speak...now who would have had the last laugh. I been there sweetie...that happened to me one time when I worked at a convience store. Guy wanted to know when my baby was due. His friend next to him, poked him on the arm and shook his head..the guy got real red faced and practically ran out of the store. Then another time a guy told me I had a neck like Mr T with his necklaces, except he was referring to the triple chins. Oh yes a woman loves to hear a compliment like that one. You keep your chin up and complain to the management...don't let this bozo get away with it.

Yep, I am with Shawn, same amount of time. It did take me awhile to get things lined up in that direction. I now know more than I ever wanted to know about fiber and am fanatical about making sure I get my 25 to 30 grams aday. Fiber Choice chewables are my friend. I didn't try prune juice, but I can't see where it would hurt in moderation.

Illude, girl you are gorgeous!!! Congratulations sweetie!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....get the mind off of it some how...no all day pig out...just think how badly you will feel in the morning. Take a deep breath and work yourself through why you are suddenly feeling this way. If you feel you must have something..then pick ONE item and eat it very SLOWLY. <huggs>

I am sending you hugs and well wishes.

Happy B'Day!!!!

Welcome to bandland!

Good question!!! I had one pair of lowrise jeans from old navy that someone gave to me. I got rid of the darn things...I got tired of pulling the darn things up!

Happy B'Day!

You go Boyees!!! :-)

Yep, you will be in bandland in no time!
