BTW...I fly in at 10:10am on Friday and leave at 7am Monday. Need to find a room near the airport for Sunday night. Joyce....maybe we could room together Sunday night if you decide to stay. Looks like Lori and I fly in not too far apart. I thought I would just take a cab and never thought about Janet and Eva picking us up. That would be very nice but can still do the cab...or...Lori and I can have a lunch together and wait for others to fly in. I'm cool with anything. __________________ Apples, I get in at 11:20am.....so, if you and Lori hang around the airport we can catch a cab together.

Well, I got out even though I heard thunder. So, for today I did 6900 steps. Now, for you gym rats that is peanuts, but it is a big deal for me. You see, I ate catfish and shrimp for lunch.....yep, it had breading on it.....not good. So, I am doing a shake for dinner. I have protein powder bursting out of my pantry. I forgot to stop the auto ship until it was too late. I will be drinking shakes for a long, long time. Of course, that is my emergency hurricane food too. lol Great, do you like Costco better than Sam's?

I hope everyone is okay this morning. It sure was quiet over the weekend. Well, I got out at 6am and did my 3,000 steps. I am gonna weigh on Wednesday so it is crunch time. Janet, Are you okay? I didn't see you on FB or LBT. Joyce, Yes, I am excited about Vegas. I haven't booked a room yet...... I will probably do it this week. Jessica, I hope you had a great birthday. You sure are looking good. Check in when you can.

Janet, I just booked a flight to Vegas Oct 1. WooHoo!!!!! I will get there at 11:20am on Southwest. I leave at 10:15am Sunday. I hope I can bum a ride to the airport on Sunday. Now, this was my DH's idea. He started shopping for flights before he ever said anything to me. So, Janet, you owe him a big kiss on the cheek! I am excited!

I like it too!!!

Big kids have problems too. My DS that travels came in last week from NYC and stopped off at a sports bar for a drink. The security called him the next morning and said they had his carry on bag. Well, he did not know that after he parked thieves broke in his truck and stole his computer, digital camera, and tools. This is the second time in the same parking lot. Also last year he told FB friends he was in NYC. Yep, when he got home his house was stripped of all electronics, and even his cologne. Lesson learned. Don't announce when you are leaving your house. Janet, how about "Band of Buddies". Just a thought. Might pop in for another suggestions.

Charlene - did you post yesterday - how are you doing Janet, I am okay......just sad I made plans for Vegas before y'all planned this trip. And of course the new baby coming. I hope y'all get some clue on the next destination for 2011 when you go to Vegas. Well, I am walking and walking, but the scale is not moving. I WILL lose before the next weigh in. Still thinking Positive!!!!!!

LOL! You got that right! :eek::thumbup:

AMEN!!!!! I NEVER!!!!! I swear, some of these docs think every one is gonna get hooked on one pain pill. Kimaly, I hope you get to feeling better real soon. HUGS!

Hi gang! I have been miserable all day. You see, I started on real food friday. I always take Miralax , but when I started the shakes I stopped because of all the fiber. Well, I forgot to take the Miralax. Oops, then last night I took a prescription laxative....not good. Needless to say.....I am sitting on donut cushion. lol I know TMI, but I don't want y'all to make the mistake I did. I couldn't even go weigh in. Okay, nough said. Apples have a good time.....you will be missed. Great, Pictures please!

Whew!......y'all have been busy on the posts today. I have been grandma.....ing today. I did get in my walk and bike riding. Great.....bagels..110 cal, 1fat, 5 protein, and........24carbs! Glad I only ate a half. Apples, I know.....I want to go too. It is just too soon after the new Grandbaby comes and we are booked for November. Linda and Laura......love, love , love......the pic! Laura.....I had a friend that took a family vacation to Costa Rica and loved it. There was alot to do, but I don't know where she stayed. I saw pics of the family on zip lines. She has boys. I guess it pays to be married to a Geek. He is my "tech go to guy". Oh, Janet, I just planted cupcakes on FV. hee!hee! Julie? Jessica? Meredith? where are you?

Apples, the half of a bagel was the new 110 calorie bagel(Thomas) which means I ate 55 calories. I bought them for DH. Yep, gotta stay away from the bread carbs......makes me bloat.

WooHoo!!!!!!Awesome news! Yes, a miracle for sure!!!!!

Oh, Apples, beautiful smile!.........you are beautiful! inside and out!

Great......WooHoo! for the gym and a trainer. Joyce......yes I live south of Houston......about 25 minutes from downtown Houston. Laura and Linda......yep the carbs got me.....gotta step up the walking to lose by Wednesday. Janet.......the five easy pymts can really get ya. They had flat screen tv yesterday and sold out. I just needed some makeup. I started to buy Dr Denese wrinkle stuff, but I think I will just save for a facelift way down the rode. PS for my tummy is first. It prevents me from wearing a smaller size. First, I want to lose at least fifty lbs more.

I live about 30 minutes from Hobby and an hour+ from the International. Let me know next time. I would love to see you. Did you get anything from QVC yesterday? I just bought makeup. Well, switching to a few carbs has wiped out my loss this week. Gotta go heavy on protein this week to show loss. I hope everyone has a good Monday!

Somebody stop me! QVC is having 5 easy payments on everything today. I just bought some make up. I love Laura Gueller Now, Judith Ripka silver is on......oh dear! I ate a salad for lunch. We ate a a BBQ place. I am so proud of eating healthy there. They had a lot of homemade desserts and we resisted. Just finished eating an apple. I have to get my walk in today. It is over a hundred right now so I will wait till the sun goes down. Tootles!

Phyl, she is adorable!!! I hope she is the perfect pup for you. Cheri, steak is not on my diet. I think because it is harder to lose eating beef. He said beef is okay, but it has to be free of hormones and anitbiotics. And beef is more for maintenance. He gave me a 1300 calorie mediterranean diet since 1300c is my resting metabolic rate. That means I have to exercise and burn off 300-500 calories a day in order to lose. So far, I have lost a lb. I haven't eaten 1300 calories yet, but I am sure there will be days that I do. Okay, gang, gotta get ready for church. They are giving a huge "man" grill away today......five burners! Also, all the men are wearing "man clothes" for church.....shorts and flip flops. lol Happy Father's Day! to everyone to has filled "Dad Shoes".

Janet, yeah, you are right about not worrying what others think......it's just they don't have what I need.....water aerobics. My back doctor and Dr. Davis told me to get into water aerobics. I think I will in the fall. I will be taking my GD to Mommy's Day out and it is right across the street from LA Fitness. I kinda went nuts on eating "Food" today. Nothing bad, but I guess I just felt guilt free eating. breakfast- eggbeaters snack-half a toasted bagel lunch-pr shake w/fruit snack- baked chicken leg dinner- 3oz grilled steak( a no no) Father's day at the DD's w/salad and a half ear of grilled corn 973 calories not bad for a full day of eating

Phyl, I am here.....just busy sewing today. Joyce, Congrats! on the onederland! Janet, Congrats! on the exercise! Yes, because of your support I walk everyday. I walked 2 miles this morning, and will do my stationary bike this afternoon. Great, I am so glad you are getting in touch with old friends. That is a good price for a membership. There are too many young people at our 24hr Fitness. My son goes there. They don't have a pool. If I join one it will be LA Fitness. They offer water aerobics every morning. You know my mouth has been so sore and raw while on the shakes....ketosis. I ate carbs last night and today. The soreness is almost gone. I am still getting my teeth cleaned next week and get xrays. I just hope it is all good. Eva, where are you going this time? Have fun!

Thanks! Guess what I had for supper? A pita pocket, leafy green lettuce, sunflower seeds (just a few), dried cranberries, and 2oz of shredded beef ( beef is a no-no, but hey, got to get rid of it). I thought I had died and gone to heaven......YUM!

I am so glad you are doing so well. What kind of band do you have? I think they ought to pay for the whole cost. Sounds like a defect in it. I went to the Dr. Davis today. Yippee!!!!! I am on food! I will use shakes whenever I want to replace a meal. I am on a Mediteranean diet. I bought lots of organic veggies, hormone-antibiotic free chicken, and whole wheat pita bread. Oh, yes, sunflower seeds and almonds for salads. I am so excited. Now, lets see if I start losing again. I did lose the 2lbs I gained. So, I am off the cook! I am still going to nutrition classes. I probably will go to them thru the summer.

WooHoo!!!!! I am eating real food. I only have to do shakes whenever I feel like it. I am on a Mediteranean(sp) diet. So, I went and bought organic veggies and Hormone and antibiotic free chicken.....oh, and fish.....YUM! I did lose the two lbs. I think I have stalled because of too few calories. Great, doesn't 24 hour have a Biggest Loser plan? Laura, Have a safe trip home. Still praying for y'all. Laura K......you have a safe trip too. I hope you get to meet up with some of the LBT buddies. I am concerned about Apples. I hope the bad weather missed her Julie are you okay? Janet, see ya on the farm! lol You too Linda! Okay, gang, I hope all of you have a great weekend! I am off to do some cooking.......Yippee!!!!

I stayed at the Stratosphere a few years ago. It is old, but clean and cheap. . The slots were loose. I won two Jackpots on the same machine.....Haywire. I loved the restaurant that rotates at the top. I wish I could go with y'all. I have a new grandbaby coming and I will be keeping my two year old GD. We are going to Las Vegas the week before Thanksgiving. Boo!!!!!! If y'all go again in 2011 let me know early so I can plan it. Lori, what do you know about the Mirage? That is where we are staying. Janet, I did a shake for Breakfast, but I am doing tuna for lunch.....then a shake for dinner. I just know they will make me weigh again tomorrow.

Take care, Marie! I want to wish you a speedy recovery. Let us know how you are doing. HUGS and Prayers!
