Desperate1

it's all good Pammie - most of us are party poopers now too

WOW - 27 - impressive - Join in guests!! Have fun tonight Jes but be safe - DUI check points everywhere - I cant tell you how many phone calls I use to get talking bout "I got a DUI on NYE - how will that affect my insurance?" Literally at least a dozen for the last 16 years! Whatcha doing? We haven't gone out in about 5 years - I hate NYE - I think my job ruined it for me LOL - we will stay in and watch movies - Who else is staying in? Oh, and these idiots around here start shootin off their guns at midnight!! Tamra - you go woman - way to jump start your way back on the wagon! It's the Sac group that is the 4th Saturday of the month - sorry I wasn't clear

Morning ladies & john, Lee - I'm proud of you too I had forgotten about protein shakes - I think I'll pick some up today and just do those for B, L & D. I swear I have alzheimers! Heather - WTF??? Can't the fella drop you in the V on the way to the city and carry on without you?? hahahahahaha Monique - Thanks for lettin me off the hook - I wish I had your problem - I am so bottom heavy it drives me crazy - the first to go is my rib section - which only makes my boobs look bigger! and those friggin things won't budge! My thighs need their own zip code LOL But it is what it is and there's nothin we can do to change the parts that lose the weight first. Eventually - ALL the weight will go from ALL the body parts and that that doesn't go we can get cut off LMAO

Heather - don't tripp - we are ALL in the same boat so you are not paddling alone! The important thing is that we are all back on track now and are here for each other to keep each other motivated! I'm sure I'm up 8lbs by now - I'm just too chicken shit to get on the scale!!

now that I think about it - I have HUGE thighs and you don't - i don't think I'll EVER be a size 12 LOL

go Jes!! size 12 - woo hoo and Monique - a medium is awsome! Who said i wasn't gonna be there Saturday - Im coming!! Its candy that can't come - I know confusing enough candy/candra ugh! Ok, so this is really strange - my body magic is a 32 but there is no way i could fit in a size 12 pants - hmmm? Jes - I can not believe yours is a 38 and is tight - maybe we got different ones - mine is the strapless one - what is yours?

I see 11 people viewing this thread right now and yet I'm talking to myself... Hmmmm??

Oh, Candy - I did good today too! will miss you Saturday but the next kaiser group is January 23rd - they skipped Decembers due to X-Mas. Tamra - I'll get you the address to the pier - we are all the way at the end - closer to the carquines bridge - at the boat launch. Bfast - decaf coffee L-water D-water S-small handful of almonds Life is so much easier to just not eat - i figure just a couple days of this and I will be detoxed! Lemme tell you all though - I haven't craved a diet coke since June or so - but all these carbs did something to me - could have almost killed somebody for a diet coke the last few days! but as of this afternoon - I stopped crying over it

Yeah!!!! so excited for Saturday.... John - we haven't heard from you - you and/or you wife game?? JES - I have a fabulous red velvet cake recipe I'll copy for you - It got RAVE reviews at the engagemet party - I was shocked cuz I'm really not a baker. Ya'll better post what you're bringing on Saturday for lunch cuz If your lunch is better than mine I just might steal it LOL. I'm watching Dr. Oz and he said that if we are craving salty food it's because we are dehydrated - don't eat the salt - drink water. Our body only has 4 cravings - water, food, sex & sleep - our bodies will not let us silence the cravings until we give it what it wants but we need to learn how to read the signals correctly - example: if we don't get enough sleep and/or we are tired our bodies will crave carbs - DON'T FEED IT CARBS - TAKE A NAP. (easier said than done, right?) Darn it - my sometimers is kickin in - can't remember everything he said - grrr!

Chime in peeps - let's get this scheduled!

John - I just may need that direct line LOL We can do a huge salad and everybody can bring 1 ingredient - like lettuce, cucumbers - dressing.... chicken... blah blah blah - doesn't get much cheeper than that! or we can all just brown bag it.

Got my big ass jug of water out! I haven't had one of them in over a week. I know that's why I've been F*#@ing up so much lately! It's my crutch

Maria - i'm told it's ok - everybody's body is different LOL John - DO NOT CANCEL THAT APPT! I missed mine and still can't get another one - If I recall correctly, we have the same Doc and I think he's just a little lax-i-daisey and forgetful. He has forgotten to do what he tells me he was going to do. I'd go straight to Sarah or liz after you meet with The Doc and schedule your surgery date right then and there! Can't wait to hear how it goes on Monday so post all the juicy details.

Thanks girl!

Hi all, Donna - I'm so down for Saturday - I think we should meet at 11 at the waterfront so the gals that have afternoon plans already can still do both! Maybe we can picnic - bring food since we are all strapped for cash??? Riley, Jane - Bandster chips sound great - question: is there any kind of tofu that is better than others? never bought it before. So, about the feelings/relationship crap - all I can say is hang in there and it will all work itself out! Candy - so friggin glad to hear from you! THe holidays have been tough for all of us but they are as good as gone now and we can all jump back on the band-wagon! Tamra - as you saw on FB I'm detoxing today once and for all - I'm gonna hafta just fast for a couple of days - I do fine when I don't eat at all - It's just that once I take the first bite my mouth won't stop LOL Lee - you're doing so good - how do you do it during such tempting times??????? Jes - your slumber party sounds like it was a blast! Oh to have been a fly on the wall that night LOL Captain MO - am i finally gonna get to meet you in person - I can't wait! Maria - so funny to hear you say you feel like you have something in your throat - I feel like that almost every morning when I first wake up since I've had the band. It goes away after I start moving around but it's there - also, when I eat too much in 1 sitting - my right ear hurts - so weird - different than an earache feeling just feels like something is tugging from inside - I know it doesn't make sense but it's true ! So wish I had an IV that i can just plug in so I never have to take that first bite again - it's a killer for me hahaha. Nicolie - so sorry i've been missing your txts - my phone has been trippin - just turns off all on it's own so I "reset" it - took out the battery & sim card for a bit then put it back together - so far so good - we shall see! So happy to get to hang with you Saturday!

Go Pat! You can do it - you have now inspired me to get on my game face and go! Exercise is the key!!

Good day all... I have been so bad since christmas eve! I'm too scared to step on the scale and was too ashamed to log on. I've had cookies & candy - popcorn! but even worse was the mashed potatoes & Mac & cheese - Once I start on the comfort foods it is so so so friggin hard to get off of em! TODAY I am back on track for sure! Pammie - sounds like homeboy is smitten with you already LOL. The more you resist the harder he will try - sad but true - men are weird. My only advice is to stick to your guns and do what feels right and comfortable for you and only you! Also - stick to publlic places, please! I have been depressed a little bit too - upset with myself and our financial situation isn't what it use to be! Tamra - I'm with you on the new band wagon - Jes - did you find somebody to swing back around for us yet? How'd that cake turn out?? Riley - I am so happy for you and your new life! what movie did you see? I really want to see sherlock holmes! Monique - I'm down for a get together! Donna - love you woman! glad you're having a great holiday season. Nicolie - I think we are doing the same for new years - maybe we should all get together for a new years party - who has a big house?? Heather - 2009 WAS a good year for you but I have a feeling that you will own 2010! Love your spirit! Sweet T - how could anybody think you're a snob? What is the peter pan thing you mentioned ? Hey John - good to hear from you - hope your holidays season hasn't been as plentiful as mine LOL - CARBS UGH!!!!!! Lee - sounds like you are doing so well - good for you!!

morning all - merry x-mas eve tamra, I too am all about quantity - I need to get my ass in to get a fill but I'm afraid LOL - I'm only down 15lbs in 3 months! I suck hahahaha Riley - I got it from a realtor I know - I'll get you a copy - only thing is is that it's a Marin County event calendar so... Going to have dinner at my stepdaughters tonight - her first function in her first apartment - she's finally an adult at 21. Worried though as she is a pastry chef and I want it all! Pray for me ladies Lee - hope your son makes it in one piece!

Hey Hey - I just received a super cool 2010 calendar of events: Marin Moonshiners Hike Hike.meetup.com/464 Also single ladies there is a spirit rock singles event too sprirtrock.org Any swingers among us?? LOL Strawberry swingers dance Strawberry.marin.org February is crabfeed & March is Brewfest OOh and Next September is the Sausalito chili cook off & brew tasting - I'm so there! Any takers....

I'm losing my fear of mirrors - although I don't completely love what I see yet - I know the day is coming! I no longer look away from them!

Tam - I have AT&T and I hate it! There is something about working out in my living room that I just can't do - I feel silly, somebody is always in there and there is very little room - I'm trying to find some type of class in Vallejo - 24hr fitness sucks in that dept! Monique - I will call Kaiser - I can't do it right now, where I'm at, but as soon as I get home I will. I really wanted to see the princess & the frog but we saw Avatar instead - Imax 3D - I was fantastic! I want to move to that fantasy land they were in - so colorful & beautiful and they were al Al Fresco! woo hoo - my kinda place! Oh, and yes, My husband got the popcorn and I ate some - last night was rough!

Morning Nicolie - I see that you and I are the only ones on right now. I wish my battery would go low on my scale or conk out! I'm not eating anything but I'm not losing any weight. I need to listen to Jes and get back on my mini meal plan. Good Job at at the potuck! Tamra - keep at it girl you're almost there! You & Nicolie just may be banded at the same time!!!!!!!! Ok, ladies - I can't find my exercise nitch. I've been power walking with the hubby in the A.M. but it's not doing anything for me - haven't found anything else I can "tolerate" yet LOL. Will keep looking though

Glad you liked the cat Riley - so sorry bout #1, I mean #0 - how disappointing but i think the former #2, now known as #1 put a hex on it. have a good night and don't let the bed bugs bite LMFAO! Monique - how did you get the apt with Doc Who? I was told there was nothing available - guess I need to call back in the a.m. Heather - love that the best part of the trip was the plane seat belt - hahaha Lee - you're a cougar - woo hoo! I think I would be too if I was single Ok, so like, 3 of you have less than 10lbs to go - is that right? I've been watching Robin Williams, at home ALONE and I just actually laughed OUT LOUD uncontrolably - he was talking about the stupid crap alcoholics say when they think they're cool - RE: pick up line: "are your parents retarded cause you sure are special" OMG, no he didn't!

Woo Hoo Tamra! excellent resistance muscles! Lee, all's well that ends well - you are forgiven so jump back kon the wagon right now! Pat - way to handle those parties! HEATHER - WELCOME HOME!!!!! PHOTO'S & DETAILS HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!! LOL

Hi Donna - where have you been YOUNG lady?? Love NSV story!!
