If anyone deserves to vent and rail at the universe...it is you Ms. Vines...so rail away!!! Throw some fist shaking in there as well! *huugs*

Do you log your food intake just to keep a better tab on what you really consume during the day? Including beverages?

Hey kiddies...how goes it??? Sorry I haven't been in lately...just being lazy. Spent the day with my hubby yesterday...it was so wonderfu!!! Kids were at daycare and my mom was hibernating in her room. I am with mouse..I am envious of all ya'll getting rain or cold weather...gosh we need it so bad here in the Southern Central part of the states....*sigh*. Tonight is quiet everybody is either in bed or in their bedroom. Hubby is off to work, just me and the pc now.

I have tried them all and liked them all. The herb one from starkist is my fav. But they will all do in a pinch. I keep them up at work and they keep beautifully in my desk drawer.

Here are my pictures at 270, 255, 225, and 205. If there is a kind soul who could put these pictures side by side like Tricia did, I would be ever so grateful...pleaseee.

Congratulations!!!! You will be in lapband in no time!

I was banded on 9/23 and have lost 41 pounds since that day. That averages to over 2 pounds a week. I love my band!

Happy B'Day Margo!

Heather if you are feeling that bad, I would stay on straight liquids...not even mushies for 24 hours and then go to mushies for another 24 just to make sure everything is healed and all swelling is down.

Laura, the SCOR does a good job of doing fills. That is where I get my fills done. You have 3 people, that their only job is to do fills. There is not even a doctor in the room. They are very good at what they do and I have never had any complaints. You tell them how much of a fill you want or will discuss your fill with you. I am in there and out usually in a little over an hour.

I lost two more pounds this week!! 1/03: 211 Exercised between 45 and 60 mins everyday this past week. 1/09: 209 Went from Morbidly Obese to just Obese!!!! 1/16: 207 Road my bike for the first time for 6 miles!

I am just going second everything Eileen said....going to follow Pat's lead! :-) Eileen, I walked 2 miles today...just me my mp3 and no kids...it was awesome! You better get your butt in gear girlie! I am struggling today with sweets...I am on the verge of starting my period and the chocolate is really singing my name. I am about to leave and hunt for a cute top in a smaller size ....try and keep my motivation going in the right direction.

Awesome!!!!

Yep, patty beat me to it. I use 100% Whey Chocolate powder from GNC. I add a tablespoon of low carb peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of sugarfree/fatfree banana pudding mix....yummmy! If I don't want that many calories, I take the peanut butter out of the mix, but always used low carb milk as well.

Welcome to bandland Kim!!! The recliner and heating pad are your friends!

I always appreciated the bigger clothes and bigger diapers...I always had to exchange the newborn diapers for bigger diapers...babies don't stay in those little ones too long. The diaper bag filled with all kinds of baby goodies is a good one. You can never have enough baby wipes.

Hey ladies!!! Sorry I haven't posted to chat today...I been doing hit and run lookees on the pc...in between chasing the kids, doing laundry...riding 6 miles on my bike that afternoon...whoohooo! Bene- No thanks on the cat babysitter...I have 3 of my own...lol..I get walked on, layed on and stared at enough...thank you very much...lol. :-) Eileen- glad you are feeling better! Sherry- Congrats on not eating those kisses...I am now going to have to work on staying off the poppycock, just the nuts...dang it...just because it is a good deal doesn't mean I have to take advantage of it! Dutch...congrats on making it through the first day with those kiddies. Pat....what I wouldn't give for some snow here in Texas...if we don't get some cold weather soon the bugs will overtake us this summer. Tina...welcome to the best chatthread! Mouse...how are you doing today??? Cross your fingers we get that rain tomorrow...you know any raindances??? Betty...don't work too hard and you have to take a break sometime...we will be here when you can. :-) If I missed anybody....I am sorry and will make it up next time....gosh time to get dinner ready.
