Morning everyone!! I am on day 2 of 1200 cal....gonna grab a coffee on my way to see my bestfriend in Brentwood, she had a baby on Saturday. Riley - I usually do a quick weight check at either Pinole, or Martinez, which ever I am closest to at the time.

Thanks!! back on track for sure today :scared2: I am not going to kaiser until next weds for a weight check, and I had my ex hide my scale. I don't want to know ANYTHING till next week :thumbup: makes it kinda fun! Long as I am less then the 266 I was last week that is...lol... Still looking at getting banded hopefully Feb/March!

I am here!! Just ate dinner.... so reposting for my thoughts: Breakfast - 1 Atkins Shake Lunch - lettace with one can tuna (lemon and olive oil) Snack - 1 Grande Skinny latte Dinner - 5 mini burgers with onions, mustard, and 2 slices red fat cheese. approx 1 cup cabbage. My ex got me a small bag of pork rinds and I ate those too...sheesh! Overall, compared to what I have been eating lately, this is so much better.

helloooo!!! Quiet around here eh? Well, day 1 back on the 1200 cal diet! Breakfast - 1 atkins shake lunch - lettace w. 1 can of tuna and lemon and olive oil dressing snack - 1 grande skinny vanilla latte dinner - will be a few mini burgers, I am gonna do maybe 5 oz and some cheese/mustard on them. Also, working on my 64 oz water!

Just stopping by to say hello! Didnt start today go figure. I find its really hard when I don't have the foods I need!! so DUH Tamra. I went and got the foods, water, etc...jeez...kinda would help there :thumbup: Gonna check my weight in the morning, I know for a fact I have gained so I won't log it, but it's better this way to check, or I wont see what I have done to myself....

Hi all, No comment on me starting the 1200 cal today. LOL I seriously give uppppppppp! no i dont...day 1 again tomorrow :thumbup:

Good morning everyone!! Thanks for all the positive feelings on me staying! I sat and had a quick drink last night with my old bestfriend from middle school. Her, her mom, and dad all had the RNY (well dad had lapband). She actually is the reason I went and found out about this. Anyways, she had Dr Park and she had to loose 30 before; She said it took her 9 months. So maybe I am not the only one who will take time. She looks SO GOOD too!! so skinny!! I will start writing down everything I eat and I have some motivation signs around my house. Today is a new day and I will continue to try!!!!

Hi everyone!! I am still here, but I just cant get my eating under control. I am now questioning if the lapband is for even for me. I am going to try ONE MORE TIME tomorrow to eat well, and get on track, but if I can't, I think I need to pull out the plug :w00t: Wont Kaiser question why it's taken me since July to hit goal in the first place? Tina - Thank you sooo much for the offer!! I don't think I will be close to your city any time soon tho, and the only meeting I am attending is the next Richmond one which is the 16th I think...if we cant meet up, give them to Pam since she is struggling too :tongue2: My daughter is only 3, so she doesn't know yet the struggle :thumbup:

Monique - it's okay, I am super busy this weekend :wink2: but I will be at the 16th meeting if you go!

Candra ~ Girl I didn't know you lost your job? What happened? Unemployment is HORRIBLE, the wait was so long, but I finally got some checks this week and the back pay was enough to pay everyone I owed. Horrible. Xmas is canceled here too, trust me. I got my daughter maybe 6 things, and I told everyone else I am sorry but I can't this year. Thank god my Kaiser cobra is only $134/mo. Have you gotten on that yet to keep insurance?
