Holy CRAP Lila! I would have been a wreck! I wouldn't go back there EVER AGAIN!!!!

HEHEHEHEH good one bjean!!!

Hi Dame J! Welcome!

could be low blood sugar. maybe you are going too long without a little snack?

Rained like the dickens the whole way, thank god mr. neenagh came and drove. my sis couldnt meet me at the doctor's so i had noone to hold my hand during the procedure. well, mr. n offered but the way it went, they would have had to scrape him off the floor! Mumford was pleased with the 4 1/2 lb loss in 5 weeks. I'm not, obviously. I convinced him i needed a fill. Here's where the hairy part comes in. I lay down, lift my shirt, the usual, and he gets his honking big needle and is chatting away, my eyes closed and trying to remember to breathe. He sticks it in and it makes a loud pop. He says oh, sorry. He jabs again, scrape pop. I start singing the abc's in my head. after the 4th time i actually started to laugh to myself, picturing mr. n if he'd come in sliding down the wall laying in a puddle on floor at the doc's feet. finally after 6 tries he got it in, pulled out the old saline and said it was bloody, so he changed the syringe-y part (not the needle) and put fresh in. I'm officially at 1.5. I was so traumatized that i forgot to ask why he had trouble getting into the port and why the saline was bloody. i was shaking when i left. Told mr. n it was really good that he didn't come in! I think i have some more restriction which is what i really care about tho, and pretty much will do whatever to get!

Okay just had to put in my two cents! went into the janitors room and used a tapemeasure! I'm 5'7" and from floor to crotch is 32". I don't know why i care, but there, now i know!

WHEEZY DONT YOU DARE GIVE UP!!! We are all behind you 100%. so what if your a turtle, after all, slow and stready wins the race!!!

MARIA! great nsv!!!

Poor mr. yoda and mr. mandi. Funny you dont think about men getting upset by the scale, but i guess they are more like us than we think sometimes.

wow Mandulicious! when you get to onederland send me a postcard!!!

me too. I get stuck all the time, can't get it into my thick head to eat slow!

For me its chicken and as i found out at lunch time today TUNA.

Lila, can u hide me in your luggage?

thanks guys, trying to stay positive.

Congrats Mrs. Deputy Mayor!!!

Gee Mandulicious, sorry about the stomach problems! At least you kept going and didn't let it ruin your fun. Hope your feeling better.

Okay let me start by saying my ticker is a lie. I have gained like two lbs. I am hungry, i am eating too much, and i hate myself for my lack of self control. I have some restriction, but if i eat slow, i can get a lot down. Plus, I'M HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I'm going for another fill on thursday, but in the meantime, I have decided to start counting carbs again. I have been faithfully logging my intake on fitday, and i average about 1200 cals a day. It seems that if i eat like a normo eating carbs, i can't lose. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted. So starting tommorrow, LOW carb and lots of Water.

CONGRATULATIONS MARIA!!!Now reward the hubby with some nookie !*wink wink nudge nudge* he won't know what hit him!

Love your pix Mandi! Looks like you had lots of fun.

Oh Cloe, been there, done that, have the tee shirt. This too shall pass. I promise.

Geez Maria, I'm sorry you feel so rotten. Part of it is probably the season changing that makes your health problems act up as well as being down in the dumps. I have osteo in my knees, and its been a bitch lately with the damp. I have a lamp that my sister got me that imitates sunlight, and i find it does help a bit with the seasonal depression. As far as the five lbs. THAT SUCKS THE BIG ONE (the great blue whale, largest mammal on earth {as told to me by my 10 yo nephew, when he heard me say that}) I find when i'm sick i gain too, it must be Fluid or something, esp. if your not really eating. It will come off! i'm positive! As far as being 60, my dh is around there too, and he finds it very hard to accept that he's not 25 any more, and the toughest strongest guy around. Now he's just crotchety! And your definitely NOT crotchety! Hugs and snugs,
