Oh yes, I cried as well. Especially when they were helping orange up the mountain. I was so proud of him. Yes, the green team memeber is kicking butt in the challenges and she weighed nearly 300 pounds...kuddos to her. But I do think she may have been up to something with the 1 pound weight loss last night. I cried when Brown team was talking about who to eliminate and how badly orange needed to be there. Jerrry did look good at the end..Go Jerry! Oh, me and DH laughed so hard when Joelle (silver) said "I beat the oldest and heaviest, there's no glory in that" It just struck us funny. DH said, she was so serious when she said it.

Hey girl, I was checking out your blog yesterday and got distracted before I was able to post a comment. Good job on losing the 5 pounds that is awesome. I am in a stall myself right now. I am so close to getting under 200 but my body is holding on the fat for dear life...ugh! Congrats!!! Lucy

Ha Ha Addy, that is funny. I hope you make the 9 pounds. I color my hair also. I have gray strands that pop up here and there and I'm 36, imagine what it will be like in a few years. Good luck

Hey apples, I know this may be late.... I hope you have a great vacation. I am so envious :0) lucy

Alli, oh I know who Jillian is. I love the biggest loser and have watched every season. My husband hates the show:tongue2:. I agree, it is annoying when they do thier product placement for Jenny O Turkey, of sugar free gum, it is always so obvious. Anyway, yes I love the show. I am really pulling for this season, I cried when they were crying at the weigh in. My heart was hurting for them. Lucy

Hey Allie, I was just thinking about you and so I checked in. I'm sorry you are going through this. I know a pay cuts affects us no matter how much or little we have and yes it is tough. I will pray for you and your family. So, a second job as a bartender...that must be interesting. Sounds like it could be fun. I have been having some eating issues this weekend. I don't know why, but I'm putting a stop to it right now!! Too many chips and ice cream and the it stops right here and now ladies. I've had a few rough days. The 1 year anniversary of my mom's passing is coming up and it is starting to really affect me. But I will get through it, I don't have a choice. I have worked out with my trainer a few time, but I don't feel like she is pushing me very hard, and I need someone to push me because I'm not good a pushing myself. Well, we sound like sad bunch, lol! Here is to everyone getting the weightloss kicked in, exercise and happy thoughts! Lucy

I was also afraid that for some reason they would not be able to put the band in. When the nurse was waking my up, she said "wake up Lucy, your are banded". That was such a relief to me. I was also afraid of faliure. Even last night, I had a dream that I was not losing anymore weight, so I was looking into another WLS. Scarry, glad I woke up from that dream....but you see faliure is on my mind. Now, do I miss gorging on food. Sometimes, yes. But I am so glad that I cannot do it anymore.

Married 12 years and niether has ever cheated.

I think you just might be right. Didn't the doctor say something to the fact that "this just goes to show that WLS is not the answer" or something like that? Anyway, I love TBL and cried last night when some of them were crying at the weigh in. I could feel their pain. And when the fiance on the Red team was crying and said she could not fake her life anymore, the entire episode was moving and emotional last night. I don't like that they sent 9 of the home, that would suck soooo bad! I truly wish them all luck and hope they can change thier lives:smile2:

Hey Addie, sorry the fill was so miserable. They are never pleaseant for me, but bearable. My doc always does the fills. And yes, he drains all the fluid out and it makes my stomache feel really wierd. He then places more fluid back in. I'm not sure if he replaces it with the same fluid plus some, or starts over with an entire new batch of fluid? Anyway, my 4th fill sure does have me tight. I can eat just a few bites of food and that is IT! Cathy, glad the date went well. If he has already called you twice, he must really like you:tt1:. BTW, I cannot jog 2 miles, I was quoting Huggy, she is doing great!:thumbup:

"I am up to "jogging" 2 solid miles when I jogg now!! Walk one to warm up jogg 2 and walk one to cool down. I set my resolution goal on nikeplus for 100 miles a month!!" Wow,that is awesome. Keep up the good work. My goal is to increase my cardio and workout more, and not worry so much about the scale. I want to lose inches!

Thats great, my husband and I both grew up on farms. His family farmed soybeans and wheat. We farmed livestock and poultry. Lucy

Hey Addy, How is your 5th fill going? I was going to PM you, but you are not set up for it.

Hey Apples, what kind of farm do ya'll have? lucy

I like the EAS Myoplex with 42g of protien. I'm having one right now because I had a fill yesterday.

"Oh, and I have a date tonight! A guy from the past called yesterday out of the blue and will be in my area and is going to take me to dinner! Hope I don't PB! or worse yet, get stuck! LOL" That is too funny...please don't PB on your date. I would crawl under the table. My husband has seen me do it, but that is it. I had to PB in a cup a couple of time while we were driving down the road. And once as I was getting up from dinner table and barly made it the trash can. True love. Well, good luck on the date, that is exciting.

Just once, for about 1 hour and we just talked.

I know, it is hard for me as well. I am working on it though. The getting and looking healthy comment is a great way to look at it. I get so upset at myself for feeling like I need to explain things. Anything...the other day, I deposited a large sum of money in the bank. I knew the teller, so I felt compelled to tell her how my grandfather had given me the money. I mean really....why did I tell her. She was not a freind, I just knew who she was. Afterward, of course I thought...I am such a goof! I am working on taking compliments and not explaining myself to people!!!!!!!

Coming off slow! Girl you are rocking! Keep up the good work.

Addy, So you got a fill today, Monday? This makes #4 for me. I always hate going in, but it is so worth it after it is over with. I went to College in Conway and worked one summer at the Human Development Center and I loved it! I worked in the kitchen, goes along with my Home-ec degree, which it is not called Home-ec anymore, lol. But anyway, yes I loved that summer working there. I love special needs individuals, always have, always will. God Bless You. Lucy

Hello everyone, Those of you talking about weather, well, it's crazy here in Arkansas as well. Yesterday, we were outside playing and today is freezing rain, you never know. Allie, so sorry about the pay cut. When I decided to go back to teaching I took an $8,500. pay cut. And I signed up for it!! LOL! Seriously, I had to make some changes in my life and I had prayed about so I knew that God would take care of us. We just cut back on going out so much and making wiser choices and we are fine. Apples, glad your stones passed. My mom fought with those ugly things for years. Good news...I called my doctors office this morning to make an appointment for a fill. She told me they could see me this afternoon. So my husband took off early and went with me (bad weather) and I got my 4th fill today. He put in another cc, I don't know what I am up too. I have not kept up with it. So anyway, I've just been sipping on broth and we will see how my eating changes in the meantime. I am glad I made the decision to go ahead and go for a fill, thanks Allie :tongue2: I did cancel my appointment with my personal trainer because of the freezing rain. I will meet with her Tuesday. Hope everyone has a good night. Sincerely, Lucy

Hey, your doctor will give you packet on what you can eat and what you can't eat. Follow it and you should be okay. I can tell that you are really scared of gaining the weight back. I think you are dwelling on that too much. For me, in my mind I do not even consider gaining the weight back, that is just not an option. I see this as my one and only chance to lose the weight and this is MY time. I WILL make it work, no turning back. keep positive, eat healthy and exercise. Lucy

Oh yes, you might want to go to work sober I am so excited to start working with my personal trainer. How crazy is that, I'm excited to be in pain! Hope everyone is doing well.

I am 5 pounds away from Onederland...I can see the light.
