What great news. You must be so excited. Will you have help with your little one after the surgery, when your home? Are you in the hospital 2 nights? Hope you can make it on Saturday. I love this idea of monthly individual pics!!!

It is so exciting loosing! I have some 22's and I think a few 24's can anyone use them? I'll bring them on Saturday if you want. What a bummer of a game! Hey if you guys love chicken parm like I do I'll tell you a secret. You don't need to fry the chicken in order for it to be good! I cut chicken breast in half and then beat it up...tenderise it... then dip it into egg and bread crumbs. Put it on parchment paper add mozz cheese slices and sause bake 350 for half an hour and whala...By pounding the heck out of the chicken it makes your head thnk your eating a lot more than your normal sie piece, and when it comes to chicken parm for me thats what my head needs. Well I have my fill on Thursday. I am anxious to find out how much I still have in me cause it sure doesn't feel like anything. Have a good day.

B-oatmeal packet L-chicken breast, 1/2 bar of zone protien, popcorn airy things about 30! D-chicken parm, few bites of corn, 2 puddings, 8 PBrounds I can't figure out how you all eat so little!!!:thankyou:

Kim you are doing GREAT!!! Saturday If I can remember correctly B- 1/2 of a hm waffle/low cal mix with low cal jelly on it and tsp butter L-chicken breast slices with russian dressing on the side to dip D- few bites of salad/1 cutlet chicken marsala/1 slice bread (we were at Carabbas) S-I blew it. PB rounds I guess about 15 Sunday B-PS L-beef fahita(sp) 1 1/2, few chips some more PBthingys D-low cal chicken parm, few bites of salad, ice cream cake

Hi Everybody, I have missed alot being away for a few days! Doc- How are you feeling congrats. Patty- When do you go back for BP check? Anne- I need a check too. Last yr I was with my daughter and went into the office with her to try to make an appointment. She bet me that I wouldn't tell the lady at the desk that I neededa boobage check, I think the bet was for M&M's or something. Well I did, they just cracked up, then told me they wouldn't see me.....(because of my new insurance) Work has been nuts for me this week. I've been out every day and every night. Clifford (the BIG RED DOG) arrived yesterday a week early, which helps explain my moods last week! We have a 7yr old lab and a 3 yr old cat. My daughter and I were looking on line and found a 5 month old B&W Sheltie/collie and something else mix. Her name is Ellie Mae. Do any of you know anything about this mix. She sounds wonderful. I'm waiting to hear if they'll let me come see her. I might be nuts, but I miss having a dog sit on my lap. We lost our cocker/mix a yr ago this past September. So I'm off I guess to make dinner...urgh I don't feel like it!

Right the 28th.

Melissa- I was afraid I was going to cough my band up..lol..I was coughing so hard for about 5 days! No I haven't dne any murals in Doctors offices lately. But thanks for thinking of me. I figured out suprisingly today why I had been in such a funk, Clifford came today! It makes all the sense in the world! Thanks for reminding me of my journal, I haven't written in it yet today.

LOL B-PS L- chicken few bites of the pita bread, 1 smooch(kiss) 1 not 3-5 or 10!!!! S-1/2 bag of mini fudge stripe Cookies D- You know we all are doing good even when we have cookies! Even if the scale isn't moving. Think of what we did before! I feel good about today, so far, even with my cookies and perhaps the other half to go..lol...

Oh I'm sorry Kim! I forgot that I said I'd call you. We went to our usuall spot, Showmars. We missed you. Pls if I do something again like that don't hesitate to call me. Tomorrow I have an appointment at 10 we could meet tomorrow if you'd like? I'll be in the Ivy building.

Hi- I'm Dianne the one Kim talked about about throwing the scale out of the window. I did that 3 time. Eash time with a new scale! It makes me nuts. I go into depression even though I know it goes up and down I get in a real bad mood and I usually would eat more that next "week" because what I was doing didn't make a difference anyway. I weigh in at curves once a month and then at the doctors appointment. Last week I thought I could handle the scale again, so every time I went to curves I got on it. I was wrong. For me I just can't do it. I suggest consentrating on the sizes rather than the #. After all all they really are are Numbers.

No problem I'm leaving soon so I'll call you or you can call me. I have a 10 off Providence I'm looking foward to it. Hope you can make it. Anyone else want to join us?

Good morning! Journals are great! I am not as good as I should be but when I do it first think in the morning it seems to help me focus on my daily goals..of course not the chocalote part....but I'm trying! I think we are all doing great. Melissa I was in the same frump. It is hard to get out of. I totally understand. It isn't easy to think positive all the time, but I'm trying to watch myself and stop when I do. I'm telling you guys the best book I ever read was called What To Say When You Talk To Yourself it is written by Shad Helmstetter We got so much out of the book that we brought 10 copies and gave them all away. Everyone that we gave them to agreed that it was an incredible book. I want to buy it again and reread it. Ok wish me luck today I have had a crazy week with work. I need to cose up on stuff, the hard part! But I will...lol..

Hey girls, I talked about meeting today at Showmars for :hungry: and haven't heard from anyone. So how does tomorrow look? I have a 10:00 at Queens College then I"m open. So if we could meet at 11:45ish that would be great. I'll call Loretta, she doesn't come on here much anymore.

Glad things are moving forward for you. I love carb solutions, I use the cans when I am in a rush. I also get the big jugs of Whey Sport Pharma from Costco it only has 1 carb 20Gms protien That is my breakfast everyday just about.

LOL Hang in there girls! I have done a complete turn around on my attitude in the past 24hours and I have to tell you I am so excited I could SCREAM (where is that jumping banana?) I am not preaching here I just have to give the credit to God because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here to begin with. The power of the spoken work is so important! Yrs ago DH and I read alot of books about the power of the spoken word. I can go into depth if you'd like, just call me or email me. Anyway I realized through struggling over the past week that I have really lost my trust in myself and in God. I opened the bible and where it opened to it talked about words and how they effect the outcome. W Well my words have been down, my thoughts have been negative so of course I'm going to feel like crud. There is so much more to the story, but it was all comfirmed again last night when I went to a seminar for work and they talked about Freeing the thoughts that bind you! Hello... I took notes so if you want to hear more let me know. So my resolution is to be positive no matter what the scale says. Oh there is so much more but I hope you get the gist. Melissa-FEEL BETTER!! How is the dog doing and Karah today? Kim- How is Curtis? Are you home too? Ok I'm off to make positive choices for me today....

Kim- I feel Blessed! I am so excited about my life changes I could jump up and down, even if my boobs were to hit me in the face..lol...I just had to.... B-PS with small banana and 1/2T PB L-peanut butter and jelly sandwich D-6 meatballs, 4 choc strawberries

Thanks for that! You are doing great! This is very encouraging to see. I started at 268 and now am 16 wks out and 221 so thats a 47 pound loss. How did you handle those months mentally that your lose was slower? How often do you/ did you go on the scale? Did it alter your attitude on the days that you weren't pleased with the results? How did you help yourself on those low days to stay positive?

Sure can't beat that! B-Oatmeal L- very thin pizza 160 cal per slice S-PS D-4 shrimp, 4 pinwheels, one chunk of cheese,1/2 brownie And now I think I need something else, or maybe just bed. God has really REALLY worked on me today. I'm so excited! night night

OH I have great news! I brought a thing of fancy string cheese with caraway seeds in them and I finially opened it because someone, I can't remember who mentioned the word string cheese!!! Thats all it takes these days! Well it tastes HORRIBLE! I'm so excited...... I know I'm nuts, hope you all are having a nice day.

It sounds like reflux to me. Do you take anything for that? And yes you should notify your Dr. GL

LOL you guys crack me up! I love this site. I'm home alone everyone out. First time in my LIFE I'm watching a football game by myself! I only started liking FB 2 yrs ago. I don't know if any of you ever heard of Hope Stout, she was a young girl that lived near us. She was diagnosed with cancer and when the Make a Wish foundation came to her and aske her what her wish was, her wish was for all the other children to get thier wishes...There were quite a few of the Panthers who help Hope achieve her wish. Hope died 2 yrs ago. But her legacy continues and still many of the Panther player help to make it continue. So that is really the start of me realizing that a lot of these mocho guys have a huge heart and a very strong faith. So I'm off to watch the game now alone with my water bottle.:clap2: ttyl, di

wow good luck with everything.

So Kim it must be the restriction that your at. Do you feel full and satisfied? What about the chocolate devil? Does he still call your name? I'm sitting here, not hungry but thinking constantly about what I'm going to eat next! B-slimfast 2 deviled eggs (I made those yesterday to grab) L-chicken and cashews, orange wedge, piece of really good chocolate BD cake S-100 C bag of cheesitz D-3 deviled eggs,2slices margarita pizza (costco sells this great really thin stuff and it is only 110C for 1/3 of pizza) 3 olives,1 gerkins pickle and 1 bag of mini fudge stripe Cookies.

Sorry your not feeling well Karen. Glad your feeling so well Angie. Kim, can I bring up my laundry? I sure hope this medicine helps Karah Melissa. Things are quiet at my house today. Jim's at GF house till half time. Kelly's at youth group and Garry is on a flight to Florida for the week. I'm feeling a bit low but hopefully I can SNAP OUT OF IT! soon. Have a good day, and go Panthers!!!
