  1. got a pedometer today for sale at target.....this one is a watch so I can't lose it or have it go through the wash like the last one. I have no idea where that one ended up!! Maybe I gave it away with my too big clothes........... Never did find it. The only thing this one doesn't have it a heart monitor which would have been nice but to expensive.............

  6. One more pound and I will FINALLY be at 50 pounds down!! Half of my goal.............. I was losing with the fill too. Lost 5 pounds in three weeks........but that was on liquids mostly. I think now what I am losing is cause I am eating mostly protiens again. I was on a plateau most of June I guess my body is now catching up with my hair loss............LOL. I have lot alot of hair so it is about time my body gives it up!! *****debating to self about over the top bragging...........but deciding I am well within the safety zone and my comment is 100% true --but reminding self bragging and exagerating the truth annoys others!!! ********* Love ya Nicole and her is to a day free of untruthful bragging!!! LOL. We can hope right??
  7. Oh Riley I feel so much better cause I was a bit naughty and my sarcasm got the best of me yesterday........whew.........I figured I had done something a bit over the top (well ok I did do a few over the top naught things yesterday but did n't get caught yet!!)...........like calling Pam a sexy beast(sorry Pam I have to be honest and say the truth) ..............but I think we all survived that intact!! *******checking arms, legs, face......nope no bruises. think I survived************** ******I did brag about myself yesterday, quite a bit actually and today I will do better..........chanting to self extremely loud*******
  8. Riley your good I don't know how to read that stuff......I will be interested to see how it is going for me vitamine wise. I have been good on vitamins but forget the calcuim sometimes............bought more calcuim yesterday!! Ah no fair today I forgot I am going to dinner tonight with all the people I went to Africa with last spring.........should be fun!! Africa was amazing can't wait to see all the pictures!! So no fair today............

I have two scales side by side.......one was donated to me...............well I weight on both and if the weight matches than I know it is right...........if not I have to weigh till I get to consistent weights.........my scale is one pound under Kaiser usually..................LOL
  12. Candra girl your like me I love when I am naughty sometimes. i lose...............so of course I never mind having a bad day once in awhile cause it speeds up my weight loss!! Crazy how that works. Oh girl you gonna be at goal soon!!
  13. Yea Nicole I was wondering if your pregnant too!! LOL!! YOur body is going wacko on you like when your pregnant. Nicole that avater picture is really old. From like 6 years ago when I was the same weight I am now..........before I gained the last 50 pounds........LOL. But still that is an old picture. Headed out to appointments today!! Ladies keep on top your fills and watch the tightness. And remember to chew, chew, chew................so will be interested to see how tight everyone is in the morning that was when I had to do the liquids than by noon I was good to go with solids.......... Haven't weighed today but need to. I went wild with wheat thins yesterday............other than that a good day. Riley why do Nicole and I floor you?? What did we do?? We were trying to behave..........oh dear .........sometimes it is so hard!! LOL
  14. I don't much like exercise but I hate to brag!!! Gotta go to bed I can feel the zany side of me starting to surface............bad news!!
  15. Chris you must be tight if your already worrying about what will make it down the hatch!! LOL. I hate to brag ladies but I can eat anything!!! LOL!!! But I won't want to brag...........:-P You all know I am actually hating this and jealous as hell cause I didn't get my fill today!!! wuuuuusaaaaa!!!
  16. I agree Jes, I agree............Dr. Baggs is great in that area!! Funny as hell but also very knowledgable and professional. I got lucky............especially since I obvious said many strange things surgery day.............I am afraid to ask him all the details though.............LOL. Somethings I don't want to know.......The anthesologist apolizgize at discharge for scaring me!!! Ah I have no clue he did...............I am afriad to ask!! *****turning red as we speak***** I don't WANT to walk on saturday but I will...........LOL
  17. Pam your to quiet..............something has happened prey tell?? Oh do tell................you sexy beast!! What did you do to him?? LOL!! ******ducking in case Pam takes a swing- but still smiling sweetly****** Love ya Pam!! :-) You go girl!!
  18. Liz can sometimes be harsh. I call it blunt and I think in my profession I get accused of the same thing. So I guess I get it.............her attitude. I don't like being called out by her and I haveh been before over my love of vitamin water. Robin has a job to do that is not easy. I am not sure I would want her job. Your always the bad guy.........in her postion. She is very young just out of school it takes awhile to learn how to be firm and consitent and how to get people to buy into your way of thinking at the same time. I guess I sorta feel for them both and give them a break......cause my job is sorta the same!! No one really likes me most places I go...........and I have to be consistent and firm too..........LOL. I have learned however.........after 10+years how to get people to buy into my way of thinking.......to work with me to get things done...........all about negoationing and making yourself a team member and equal so you come acroess with good intentions...........hard skills to learn and sometimes they don't work...........that is why they say Social worker could become car salesmen in their next life.............we are great salespersons!! that said I got told off this week........woman told me to get the &$%^#* out her house and get off her property.......ah my skills don't always work........I would have so like to have yelled back........but ya know how it goes........"I can see you are very angry do you want to talk about it!!"..................LOL, an nope!!
  19. Ok I just had 1500 of calcuim- 1000 went to waste. Candra seriously don't let them drive your car!! That is wrong they need to help. Pay rent and help out.........oh dear I have a guy who lived with me that pulled that I had to kick him out but he was not family.............oh that makes me mad. Kaiser richmond has been ok with me. I do think that most people don't make it and maybe they are jaded.
  20. Dr. Baggs said if your sick enough to need an NG tube band or not they are gonna do it. So the braclet is optional. Very, very cute though................. Candra girl yo have been through it medically. This might just be a piece of cake!! Jes I agree with you. WIth my luck if something can happen it will. That is why I am not surprized bout about my unfill. I have to learn everything the hard way!! Candra my kittens all found homes but I mourned each time one left. I sent them with baby blankets their favorite toys and food.............oh dear...........crazy cat women...........I gave them to a rescue but fostered them until they found homes.........that way they paid all the vet bills.........I donated the food and love!! I still get pictures of some of them..........the last one left right before my orientation...........I figured it was a sign of something............LOL
  21. I was me.............I did it...............blame me Yep I need a wheat thin intervention. I need probably like a 14 step group here ladies...........forget the 12 step stuff. .............this is really serious stuff here ladies.............I am a reduced fat wheat think junkie..........I need an AOD assessment ASAP!!
  22. I had six cats last fall...........1 was mine. The rest were 4 week old kittens that I found in the trash can at work. I kept them until they were 10 weeks old and didn't sleep much with all the fly by clawings in the night.....they were a wild bunch...............I ended up keeping Sami my baby boy...........he was the only siamese in the bunch and fiesty as hell...........but he is such a beauty and I am trying to tame him..........with the squirt bottle.........he attacks me sometimes and than I fun for the squirt bottle..........he backs off now when I pick it up...........check out my arms with all my scratches from the beast.............but he can also curl up and stay with you while your recovering from surgery..........he is bi polar for sure I am seeking help for him................... He is my trash can baby. The other cat is full breed siamese and a diva............she is used to only the best and accepts no less............ Yep I am one of those crazy cat ladies you hear about!!
  23. Oh you will love them Candra they are all I wear. I feel the muscles in my legs and butt from them.........no more knee pain either. I might just wear them all winter!!! Did I say I LOVE my fit flops??
  24. ok I admit it I post alot and have long posts.................for better or for worse I have to speak or write my mind.............. I probably won't stop be forewarned!! LOL
  25. I know I am late and this is a random thought but I also get upset when people are mean to animals.................I used to take in rescue cats but can't anymore since my siamese brats fight so much already...........they can't handle another animal....... Speaking of stress and stress relief!! My cats are just that for me...............love those fluffy, naughty, gorgeous things..........my kitten stayed on my lap the whole time I was recovering he never got up except to eat and ah............make a desposit in the cat bank..........loving having the cuddly thing chilling with me that month...........except for the port jumps starts when he landed on my port............ When I am stressed I chill with my cats better than eating huh??
