Happy Valentines Day to all of you! I'm not sure if I made my challenge or not. I only had 3Lbs. to go, but never ate for 3 days. {Hospital Food is Nastey!!!} So im thinking, I must of got close, can't step up on a scale. So I don't no were I am, or what my goal is to reach???? make sence to any one? If so tell a shrink!!! LOL All I no is I had 11lbs. to onederville. So when I do get weighed. I hope it's under 200. Shirley..

Josette: sounds good to me. I would like to arange, or see arainged some type of get together. I'm sure we are all very interesting people. I am in Saint Clair Shores. Shirley...

Judy: Shirley here, We have our other home in St. Helen. So one of these days when we are hedding up. We'll have to meet. watcha think? Shirley..

Gooooo Jimboss!!! Yeagh!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: I've got my cheerleaders rootin for ya. Cause we all no you can do it. There sayin Jimboss,Jimboss You got brass, So come on, let's kick some ass. Get your butt out there, and shovel that snow, The October Bandsters are sayin go Jimboss, go. Yeaghhhhh!!!!!

A big HELLO!!! out ther to white06, glad you can join us all. Were a great bunch to get to no, sooo,, looking forward to getting to no you. Thanks for the Hugs Raynie. Did your MM come yet? Shirley..

Well were neighbors. I'm in s.c.s.. Shirley...

Wow!!! Ladies: YOU LOOK GREAT! Imagine in another year what you will look like.... I'm up for say 10lbs by Easter. I can't step on a scale yet, but,,, I will still try. PT is first for me now though...

Jimboss: Shirley here. Did I ever tell you I am a chocolate lady? Sure am, now you no why they give this stuff on sweeties day. Does wonders don't it? I'm here to clear the air. I lost 125Lbs. prior to surgery. I started with counting calories 1 year before surgery, that's whean I peeked at 356. Trust me, I did not loose 50Lbs. a month. If that would have happend, well I would be working for Lap Band. So I lost 146Lbs. total, and still working on it. Jimboss Muscle Milk Light is the best kept secret out there. It's good for you, promotes tissue healing, burns fat, low in calorie, high in protien, taste is great, "about 20 flavors" and it's maid with water. I usually have 1 a day. That's 25G of protien rite there. A woman should have between 60-80G a day in there total diet. A man 80-100G a day. I find it's cheepest on ebay. Go there and look it up, thean read all the info on it. "they have chocolate" If you want to become buff!!! follow there instructions, and this is the stuff that can do that to.. If not have 1 or 2 shakes a day You'll do just fine. Any thing else I can do? get back. Shirley...

Happy Saturday Morning to every one!!!!: Gee it's good to be back home again... I got my new knee, and it ways 1 1/2 lbs. "I wanted to know." Average knee 1 lb.. I'm not worried about the 1/2lb. gain! Cause they starved us for 3 1/2 days. So I havent been weighed, butttt,,, trust me, we had to loose weight in there. Some one lodged a complaint, and after that we got normal food. "not garbage" Thank you all for your notes, I appreciate that. Hello to Mary from Michigan, Raynie did your MML come, and what do you think of it I'm gonna keep on reading, "i thought I was on the last page, but pain killers. I can't think rite.." If I see any thing interesting I might get back to you. Shirley...

Welllllll,,,, Thank You all. It will be 4,or 5 days in the hospital. I hope i'm walking by then. October Bandsters will be in my thoughts. Sighning off. Shirley...

Jimboss that is great news. Now you all can relate to each others one time problems, goals, and just noing you are all in the same boat makes the difference, don't it??? I'm gonna try to see if some people from Michigan would like to meet maybe late spring, or early summer. I think it would be interesting We will see. Tommarow,, well,, I go in for my knee. Has to be. So I won't be on line for a while. "like i'll be missed right?" I have to email everyone, and tell them not to email me. I don't want to come back and have hundreds of email to go threw. I don't no if I will make my challenge. I hope the titanium is lighter then bone... It's a thought.., and depends if I lose it in the Hospital or not! My doc said I might even gain 3lbs. "that was like cutting my heart out!" He said once you get your energy level up, the weight will nose dive. I can get with that! Good luck with your meetings. Hope it works out. Shirley...

Glamourgirl: Check out the Bariatric center at Henry Ford Hospital. The U of M recomended them to me, said they had the Monopoly on this. They are very good. If I had to do it again, I would gladly go back and have my surgeon do it. Chief Surgeon Jeffrey Genaw. Go on line and you can check out their Web site., Google his name and see what you get, also you might be able to get a tape on the surgery Free since you would be considering him. "maybe!!!, don't hold me to that!" Read my journal, and see what he has done for me. Shirley...

I by the Muscle Milk Light on ebay. You can go to a health food store and pay out the nose, the choice is yours. Taste is excellent, made with water,helps burn fat, high in protien, and it helps repair torn muscle. Now I no that's far fetched, I hurt my back at work, was off for a while, on muscle pills, pain pills, still hurt. I drank muscle milk at work, and in about 1 1/2 hrs. I had no pain. Couldn't believe it. I told the dietician about it. She said that's what should happen. It's the best on the market. Check out ebay or google it. Shirley...

Jenn did you find it? Shirley...

Well the rich get richer., and no you don't want to buff up like the HAULK! So 1 a day MML is only 195 cal., that's not bad, MM is like 250, I'd have to go look at a jug. 1 a day, or 1 1/2 is good eanough. Maybe your hair will stop fallin out too. I barily lost any only from anastesia, "it thined out on top" it grew back. I do chinese about 2x a month I love their Hawaian Shrimp, Almond Chicken, Frog Legs "sounds good write!!" and believe this Garlic Eggplant. It is the consistency of mushrooms, and the flavor is great. See you even made me hungry, I went to get some pink lemonaide to drown the hunger by chrystal light only 5 cal. so it's duable. well I got to get back to my work. so i'll talk later.

not much that I no of. So go to ebay or google muscle milk and check out the variety root beer, mocha joe, some kinda mango. Well take a look. Then click on muscle milk light and see what they have to offer. Shirley

raynie: now you tell me something... Why can't you eat chinease food???? I mean I do!! I'm going out tonight for soup,roll, chiken or sea food or vegetable. I mean I don't eat it all. I watch my calories all day "try to stay low" thean go out. If I go to a sit down restaurant, or chinese? What's the big deal??? I'm still loseing weight!!! Shirley...

bckeye01,sonican: Regards to the hair falling out. They told us about this at Henry Ford Hospital, Told us to get on the Muscle Milk/Muscle Milk Light choice is yours. As long as you add up near 80G. of Protien a day, you can help prevent this. So protien shakes are important. "to those of you who think they are not.." It will grow back. But don't do anything about it, and it can all fall out... Good Morning Every One! Shirley

Do you like the new dew? Shirley...

mysherrijo: let me ask you a question. What happens when you mix flour, and water? You get glue right? Now what did you have at 4:00 p.m.? Sorry more then a question. Bottom line is all that glue is gonna stick to you. Try less carbs., and more protien. It might help. Shirley

Some of these things you mention, I am starting to do.. Shirley

Jack is deffinetley wright. Start putting it down, so you can go back in months to come "when you have kinda forgot" and see how it really was. Not to mention keep it going. Look up mine and see what I had done, and i'm going in Monday to finish what I started. OMG is all I can say. Been There to, promise it will get better. I remember looking at my husband when I woke up, and said man did I screw up!!! I take it all back, I did pretty good, you will to. Feel free to wright if you want. Shirley...

Hello every one!: I no I'm here. Any one feel like getting back? give me a hollar, cause I'm down in Saint Clair Shores Mi.

raynie: a lot of this loss comes from the muscle milk too. it tells you it helps burn fat. it does. body builders that are working out drink a lot of this stuff, and they thin out, and buff up. of course, that,s not what we want. weight loss, and energy, to burn is what you will get. try 1 shake a day, but not before bed. like lunch to substitute a meal. if you want, do 2 sometimes. but count those calories!!! i have a window between 700-1000 calories, and60-80G of protien a day for a woman. if your calories are to high you might want to cut back a little, that's up to you. chocolate carmel is good. i hear the root beer is really good. i haven't tried it though, i got a lot of it hear. i'll even be taking it to the hospital just to make sure i get my protien in. don't forget vitamins either, calcium. that's another easy fix. Shirley...

Mine is FUBARD! Politely TOAST! If you figure it out let me no.. Shirley...
