GREAT NSV TERRY!!!

GUESS WHAT? 239 lbs :eyebrows:

Denise: we were posting at the same time............ What I meant to get accross on the online dating thing is that I was in 16 or 18's when I went on my first online date I was not a skinny size 12... so don't feel you need to wait on your WEIGHT ... get out and live life NOW! ENJOY IT..... GO FOR IT...... its all about the attitude ok.......... going to bed now

Denise: WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO 227! way to go girl. Pamela: Where the hell are you?????????????????? OK going to bed................. praying for 239.5......... please please please... stay tuned

I did eharmony and yes I did meet several guys that I had a lot in common with.. it was weird though because each of them had different things in common with me and were all different.... I emailed and talked on the phone and 3 I actually went out with.... I gave them all nicknames.... one was a lawyer, one was a massage therapist, one was a cowboy....... lawyer and I just didn't have chemistry.. 3 boring strikes.. (I kept HOPING.. I mean he was a LAWYER opening his own practice, but sadly no..... ) Massage therepist, he was a nice guy and WOWWWWWWWWWWWW what a Valentines as he was the most romantic...... he started just showing up uninvited and that was a big no no, as I did not let ANYONE meet my son..... and in the process I was falling for the cowboy....... I nicknamed him chickenglenn because he ran.... and thank god he did, because he would of turned out to be a hardheaded pain in the ass... he actually asked me to wait until his contract was done and then .... wth..... that one kind of hurt a bit... a beautiful cowboy (I was at my thinnest too) He actually contacted me to tell me he came back and by that time I was dating dbf.. who by the way I met on Yahoo and is by far THE most compatible... but the other yaahooo on yahoo gave my computer a virus from us getting into an Instant messenger argument... (he was a computer guy for sprint and his job was testing firewalls) NOTE TO SELF DON'T PISS OFF A DIVORCED COMPUTER EXPERT! LOL...... Overall my year of online dating was a fun one.......... and it is important to note that when I started my year plus of dating I was around 230 and I had FUN! GO FOR IT.......... BUT JUST BE CAREFUL.... create a fake email and never give out a house phone... use a cell that can't be traced and can be easily changed.....

Olga: OMG WOMAN you hit ONEderland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

I wonder why the crystal light slurpees are so much higher than regular crystal light

personally I stayed away from taters, a lot of people make a mixture of refried Beans, cheese and salsa. or a good one I heard about was kind of a lasagna mixture... ricotta, sauce and cheese baked cottage cheese loosely scrambled eggs (left very moist) anything put in a blender Protein shake blended with ice GOOD LUCK

I am down a total of 31 since I started my pre-op on 4/1/2007...... I daydreamed about being close to ONEderland by Labor Day but my backsliding while not filled really took that away. JulieNYC is the person giving the detail about surgery SHE IS AWESOME she is like Kat and an April06'r who tend to be our mentors.... Julie gives me real hope that I can actually get down to goal. She is lucky to have a father who is a plastic surgeon.... although he had to look at her adult fanny YIKES! I am so ready to get out of here...........

Haydee: since surgery I've only lost around 13 lbs but I was not working the band like I should have.... but I am now. I did not mow last night.. I'm saving that joy for tonight.. and I WILL be counting it as a workout..... I'm game for a weekend at a hotel with pool and hot tub.... so far I have two big vacations set for 2008.......... Sturgis and Daytona bike weeks each at a weeklong and cross country..... I MIGHT be able to do a 3 day cruise out of Gavelston on Carnival ...... Terri would you look into it if you ge a chance? I may have 3 other girlfriends who will want to go too. (they've been screaming for a girls trip for a long time) I've been looking at tankini swim suits with underwires in them but I don't know what size I should buy for next summer... they are all on sale right now.............. A tankini top and swim shorts is my norm

good morning! Michelle.. . you crack me up with the wonderment of early morning risers! My 3 year old decided to jump into my bed this morning at 5:00 a.m. so I let him snuggle a bit and then when he fell back asleep I got up and started my coffee. I took some near nekid pics last night ... bra and undies for my eyes only to see the differences along the way........... My scale teetered on 240 but settled on 240.4 this morning........ PLEASE SEND UP A PRAYER FOR ME THAT TOMORROW I ENTER THE 230's! I will be in Omaha Saturday and won't be able to weigh til Monday.... I really need to be in the 230's so that I hold my resolve over the weekend with the boys in a hotel.............. Last summer I had gotten myself down to 235.5 so beating that will be my next focus. time to fill my water...... back later

Terry: Did you ever eat your nanner? I agree with Michelle... do you really think I'll get to the point of only eating HALF? that would be a miracle.... truly........ me the gal that can put away the better part of a large pizza...... (scratch that........ the gal that USED to be able to ) NSV today.. the ladies at my sons daycare asked me how much I'd lost because they could really tell...... I said.. the same 31 lbs plus a HALF pound.. they were shocked because she said she could really tell especially around my middle....... WOW twice in one day for someone to mention my shrinking belly... I'll TAKE IT....... that and me getting so close to the 230's.. I have been EXTREMELY good...... I put a sun chip in my mouth and spit it back out......... I started to have count chocula cereal but I put the bowl away and then b*tch slapped myself into submission and had a couple bites of cottage cheese instead...... I ate less than half of my leftover porksteak and then forced myself not to have desert......... and now it has been over two hours since dinner and I am DUE for my drink........... I WANT THOSE 230's I went to my sisters and picked up two push mowers and tomorrow I'm going to push mow my yard... (I broke the rider when I treated it like a brush hog) I have a rather large yard for living in town.... it spans 5 lots that I had privacy fenced in when I bought this place post divorce.. I had moved from the country and 6 acres so a yard was one of the things I required..... ANYWAY.. I hope everyone is having a great evening.. now I'm going for my drink.

Welcome puddy and everyone! Gonnabefree and Michelle: Congrats on Fill #1 Lunasa: OMG......... FANNY! water snorted out of my nose when I read the UK definition... Pork Steak is just a different cut of pork often by the chops.. it has more marbled fat which is why it is soooooo tender when you slow cook it. I just place it in a pan and dump a jar of the ragu roasted garlic alfredo sauce and a can of mushrooms bake on 200 for a couple hours (or put it in a crock pot) and it is sooooo good... I've even used the sauce as a soup. My mom used to always put pork steak in her burritos.. those are the best. I finished my payroll I finally figured out how to send a picture from my phone to my email address..... here is today's lunch..... white stuff is 3 cheese ranch dressing.

WHOOOOHOOOOO TERRY!

LOL TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm laughing so hard my lazy ass is jiggling! I have a crazy morning today............... but I wanted to pop in here and announce................... I saw a NEW LOW TODAY! 241 even............ I got to drop the .6 I AM getting to the 230's this week! I AM I AM back later

margi: let us know what happens with your band. I think if you are not even able to eat soup you should get a slight unfill....

Good luck to both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May you enter bandster hell together and keep each other SANE until you enter the blueskies of restrictionville!

Welcome Nena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember you posting about jenn.. jump right on in with the rest of us bigmouths You have done GREAT on your weight! I ended up having CRYSTAL LIGHT instead of tea.. I thought of Judy! LOL My sister told me today that she can tell everytime that she sees me that I'm getting smaller... she said my belly is a lot smaller than it was at Christmas... (and I thought it hid it pretty well!) God love her even IF she is the skinny one!

I can not tell you how much I appreciate your post! THANKS! I can't even imagine getting to 125! It is cool that you found a happy spot at 135

LOL!!!!!! noticed I haven't changed my ticker did ya....... DBF is out of town this week so I can't run off to the gym in the early am hours.. and yes I COULD go RIGHT NOW, since the place has daycare but that is my entire motivation problem GETTING MY LAZY ASS OFF THE COUCH IN THE PM.. DS goes to bed at 8p........ don't worry though I will be picking back up on MONDAY... I have to PROVE a point to dbf... I think he will end up being a sabatour... and at the same time the food police. I just finished my pork steak and I stuck to a very small portion because I'm afraid it will come back up....... also I had a sbd protien bar about 3:p and all it did was make me hungry (must be the carbs in them) now I'm patiently waiting my hour so that I can have a glass of tea......... because I am THIRSTY but I'm TRYING TO FOLLOW the BANDSTER RULES like Judy does I WILL ENTER THE 230's this week.............. dammit.............. (I keep saying this every day one day it will come true):biggrin1:

my 4 year old son did the same thing... and then he wanted to look at my boo boo's and then the tv......... back again.

Didn't know I wasnt supposed to... but my doc is very lenient....... I can even have dt dr pepper and coffee...........

that is crap! sorry to hear about this hurdle... so frustrating.. you know though.. Malleys office does a once a month meeting with Sally Berry Brown (nutritionist) its free... and maybe if you made some kind of chart for her to initial she could sign off on your behavioral changes.... along with doctors history.. it couldn't hurt.

LAURA is a MISSUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS! Judy: You are too funny... I can only imagine your PMS group is a rowdy bunch!

sara thanks for the tip on Macy's tankini with underwires!
