Hi everyone!!! back from Tahoe and sitting here now, enjoying my birthday. Today flew by, and I can't believe I am 27 today!! As for eating, lets not touch that :X sorry Candra!! but I am back on track tomorrow!!!!!!!!! for SURE!! this is the last slip up, I have to do this!! I cant quit yet...I have been close, but I wont!!! Hope you all are having a good week!!

yes Candra, no cake :tongue2: LOL

I have no clue! according to Kasier the stimlus plan that is saving people a % is gone after 12/31/2009, because Obama has not passed another one. So there's cobra, just not at the discounted price :tongue2: that's how she was coming up with $417 for me.

Hi everyone!! Been a long day; My old job tried to email and tell me as of Dec 31 there is no cobra coverage and I would have to pay $417. I flipped out!! I called Kaiser asap, and they were telling me since I lost my job between Sept - Dec, I will have it 9 months. I told my old job this and they tried to argue. I was about to give up on Kaiser, my band, everything but I called Kaiser one more time, and they told me I should be fine - I called my old job AGAIN this time providing the member services persons name and number....needless to say an email came 20 mins later telling me I was fine for 9 months at my cobra price...SHEESH!! Heather, congrads on the possible weight change! Day 2 of the fat fast and moving along well! I will do a weight check on Tuesday. Going to Tahoe tomorrow, since my bday is Thursday. I am looking forward to getting away!!! :smile:

Candra its cause I hate mayo LOL so I'm grossed out by the smell. Ill add some mustard

I have drank almost 100 oz water today lol candra girl the turkey mayo looks gross lol I have ate all bacon today :x

Day one of my fat fast...had bacon for breakfast...lol.... Candra I didn't have time to grab coffee and when I got home I was STARVING!! So I made the bacon. Going to do tuna w. mayo in a while for my 2nd meal. That good? I cannot believe I am up 10 lbs from Sept. Man! I was rockin' back then. I guess I will keep on truckin'!!

Back from my weight check......266.9 I have gained approx 10 lbs from sept to now.....crappy

Hi everyone!! Heather - let us know what Dr. Fischer says. I asked Dr. Baggs to do the same and he ignored me. *shrugs* I haven't ate well since Thursday. I am starting the fat fast tomorrow Candra sent me after i do a weight check in the AM.

*sigh* I can't wait to be in 12s So since I ate hand fuls of cheez its, I went to the gym at my mom's apts just now and ran on the treadmill....well, walk, jogged, walked, jogged, etc...I haven't done that in years. Felt nice.

Does emailing Dr. Baggs count? I checked in with him a few weeks ago; I will call them on Monday am, because I believe the last time they checked me and recorded my weight was the end of Sept when I met with the psych. Why is it so hard to re start after a cheating day? started out okay today then temptation won. as usual.

I hope your right Monique lol. I'll tell you what, the food was damn good, but not worth 9 lbs LOL...I am sure it's just everything sitting. TMI But I am backed up BAD when I diet....WTH? Have fun tomorrow ladies, I guess your going to a meeting?

is it humanly possible to gain 9 lbs in 2 days? LOL I just weighed myself and it said 270...ummm I was 261 on Tues? WTF? I am guessing its all the food sitting inside me...*sigh* back on the diet tomorrow then a weight check Monday Morning. Question to the banded - it's taking me a long time to loose the 35 lbs, since July...do I need to update anyne at bariatrics that I am still trying? I don't want them to think I stopped and I am forced to start all over again....

Hi everyone!! So much for BACK ON TRACK TODAY LOL. I hit black friday with my bestfriends and ended up at Red Robin with soda, chicken stips and fries!! then had coffee....then had chips and dips...OMG back on track SATURDAY!!!! =( Candra and Nicollie - I don't get the fat diet you emailed me....Gimme a day of food example!

**Waddles in** Hi everyone, I am Tamra and I ate myself to sickness tonight **group - Hi Tamra** LOL. yep I didn't diet today thats for sure!! I ate myself to happiness, but back on tomorrow morning!! I am not going to *eat leftovers* all weekend, etc. It was today and thats it!!! going to Kaiser for a weight check next tues, and expecting a gain and thats fine. Hope you all had a nice time!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving eve!!! Monique - I just sent you a PM back then noticed you asked me about my daughter! She is 3, and yesss my only one!! and seeing as you have a Jungle party SAT that tells me I was right and you do have little ones lol. We spend alotta time at the Jungle now that I am not working!! Candra / Jess what's this body thing you are speaking of? Okay I can tell you now I will be up some weight next week, I made a "Turtle Pumpkin Pie" LOL...mmmmm!! :thumbup:

Morning all, I woke up STARVING!! Probably because all I had yesterday was a coffee, and then around 7 pm I finally ate a plate of lettace with my left over steak on top....used olive oil/lime juice as the dressing. Also got 50 oz of water in me. Close enough lol. Hopefully every one has a great holiday if you don't come on here! I will be on all day, nothing going on over here LOL gonna cook @ my place tomorrow instead of my mom's as planned.....gonna light a fire in the fire place in the morning, and decorate my dining room table. I am worried about how much I will gain tho!!!! esp. since I bought Granny Goose brand chips hehe!

Nice to meet ya Cindy!! You found a great group of people for info thats for sure!! If it wasn't for everyone I woulda quit a long time ago!!!! :ohmy:

Cinarose- What's your name? My dr is in Martinez, but I go to Pinole to check weight alot. I know your area, was there at the park next to Concord High the other day leting my daughter play :ohmy:

Hi all, GREAT NEWS! My unemployment was FINALLY approved, after me not working in 1 month and 2 weeks...lol...I should be getting my first check this week...I am SO HAPPY and relieved...it will be a happy thanksgiving after all :ohmy: Side note, I havent ate anything all day!! I had a coffee around 9 am, drinking water, and have no desire to eat?? strange

Nicollie - yeppers, got the coffee one! I liked it, but maybe the milk choco is better. Cinarose - Welcome!!! I am happy to have another Concord person here. What area ya from? I am in North Concord by Port Chicago. Well, today I stopped by Pinole Kaiser and did a check on the weight. DARN IT. their scale told me I was 4 lbs heavier then mine at home. 261.2 so I went ahead and updated my ticker to match theirs. I will not weigh myself at home ANYMORE and will go back to using their scales. So, 11.2 to go till goal. Hopefully I can knock those off fast. We will see. I almost wanna say the Atkins shakes don't help....but can't say for sure.

Have fun Lee!! Say hello to Boston for me, wish I was there with my family for Thanksgiving!! Oh and the chicken place is called "Wild Chicken Rottiserie" LOL...This is day 2 I haven't had it and am I CRAVING IT!!! I am worried about Thanksgiving, I know I will pig out...

Go Monique!! Nice weight loss so far!! man I cannot wait to be 206 lol. Well, I did well today. I have the energy to workout but I just cant kick myself into gear. Breakfast- Atkins Shake (I found a coffee one!!!) Lunch - 3 double cheeseburgers with just onions from BK...no bread, etc...I felt sick after this tho, to many patties. Snack - Sugar Free fudgesicle Dinner - Cabbage cooked in bacon, few slices of cheese, and steak Trying to down some water now, as all I had was a diet coke =X today!

Hi there cinlarose! yep in Concord! Congrads on your progress, you will have a surgery date before me, I have about 7 lbs till I am at the goal given to me by my old surgeon. Dang it 17 lbs Nicollie you rock!

awh man! I wish I was at goal maybe i'd be in the 12/7 surgery lol....oh well! knowing that, maybe I will be banded in Jan, not Feb like I thought. I am about 7 lbs away and hoping to be down that by the first week of Dec....
