Good afternoon ladies and gent! I feel good. I went to 24 Hour this morning after not stepping foot in a gym in approx. 3 years!!!! I did a step aerobics class. Luv them....and actually lasted the entire time. I did my own thing and kept movin' when I could not get the step.... Hey, isn't the goal to keep it movin'??? I have to break into Onederland this week. Enough is ENOUGH! Ashley and Lee-congrats on getting the scale to move in the right direction. I hope we all get moving this weekend and make something happen.

Ashley, okay were there! I will call you over te weekend.

Good morning all! How are you all? I plan to do well today! How about you?

Ashley-I do plan to go and may have both my babies with me...I may leave the little one at home. I have another engagement in the morning and am not sure what time I am going to be finished. Do you want to ride??? I don't mind driving.

Hi Everyone!!! Lee, how exciting. Glad you have jumped through all the hoops. Tell the group I said, "Hey!" What thread is it again. I will register! However, I don't think I can keep up with 2 sites. I barely have time to keep up with this one. Pat-I'm glad to see you are doing well and are up and around. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see you. I know you probably won't make it to Reggie's.... Tamra-Go job on the loss. Like previously stated...this is when you lose the most...Try not to cheat...I know I did... Ashley-Yes, girl, drag me there. I plan to go next meeting. It sounds like you had fun!!! Reggie-I may bring my 6 year old daughter...Now the baby...That's another story.... She will distroy you place. Don't want to get kicked out...JK. I may not bring her though. Daddy's got to do somethin'. Do you want us to bring anything???? Jes-I will try to make you party. Thanks for the invite. Candra-you should share the restriction. I think I have some....I'm just hard headed like Jes and I don't listen very well. ROTF LMBO! Nicole, Lee and John.....Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John, where are you? What 12:00pm appt??? What happened???? I have had a pretty good day. Ate well, exercised well....Oh, the scaled moved a tad bit this morning too!!! Maybe there is something to this eating right, following the plan and adding exercise???? Who knew?

Reggie? Is the get together kid friendly?

Good Evening All!!! So much is going on this week....Pat banded...John and Lee attending surgery orientation....Nicolie and Lee getting their surgery dates....OMG!!! Nicole's family tragedy...OMG!!! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. This week has been a true challenge. I hope all are doing well with the eating. Let's try to make good decisions....I know I am and boy is it hard....I have been eating up a storm...feeling little to no restriction.

Nicole, my deepest prayers are with you and your family. Sorry to hear such tragic news. I'm at work and can't post a real messege. Will do later tonight. Reggie, is the party at your house kid friendly? Also, what time is he party?

NO FRIES TAMRA!!! I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT CUZ...THEY GOT ON ME FOR MY CHICKEN WINGS!!! LOL PAT-Happy you are now banded and doing well. Hello all....gotta go watch Biggest Loser. TTYL....

Hi everybody! Thanks for the update on Pat. I'm glad things went well.

Good luck Nicolie and Lee! Pat , r u ready for tomorrow! Lots if love! Keep us posted. Nicolie!!! Where the heck r u??? You know we need details. Lol

OMG!!! good girl Nicolie! How exciting!

Heather-yes gurl... I'm using salad plates. But mostly paper plates. Isn't it funny how our eyes can be tricked into thinking our portions are larger if using a smaller plate? Yes hunger is all innour heads. This is truly my week to bust into Onederland! I am I have a 5lbs goal!!! By valentines day I will lose 5lbs!!!

Candra-yes it truly is a process. I am trying to get more serious. I need to be summer ready. I have to break into Onederland! Tired of being tired of being "fluffy".

Pat, CoCo, and Lee-Great job on the weightloss...You ladies are on a roll. Pat-definately let us know how you are on Tuesday. I can't wait...Try to get some rest... Are you ready? Have all your supplies??? Candra-Is your right ear pulling/tugging? I have pretty good restriction with the 5cc's. Its just that I have to learn when I've had enough. The portions I need don't measure up in my eyes. Food B-1/2 hotlink, 2 sausage links, 1 scram. egg and coffee L-handfull of almonds and ??? not yet D-???

Hey Everybody! Jes-How are you?

Hi Alison! Welcome to the group. Happy trails.... I'll have to let someone from your area answer your travel ???. I have no idea how long it takes to get there.

Hey everyone! Happy Saturday! Just popping in here for a second. Lee-Thanks for the invite and a great time at lunch with the Northern Cali Group. It was fun...Lots of wonderful people. Hope to see you all soon... So is Feb 6 a go Reggie??? TTYL..................

I must have sent my number out in cyberspace...opps! I just pm'd you.

Hey lady! Drink some chicken broth. It always helps me. I was so weak during the liquid phase. Be strong Tamra. It won't be long.

Hi everyone. Lee, I just sent you a PM. Check your inbox.

Hey all!!! did I miss something??? When did Tamra become, Left Boob???? So far so good on the food B-1 scrambled egg and 4 slices deli selects ham, coffee with sugar. I am going to make good choices today and all weekend. I have to get into that Onederland Club....I was 203.3lbs on my scale this AM. Lee-You are doing it gurl!!! I wish I could come with you tomorrow...Let me see what I can do. I am going to PM you my number. Tamra aka Left Boob???-How are you? Nicolie and Pat-You are next!!! I can't wait!!! Pam-I feel you on the food...I can eat too. However, since my fill...I do feel some restriction. I just cant seem to stop eating. Food just tastes so good. I am making good choices. Just eating more than I should to feel full. Candra-Riley is right. The restriction for me set in a few days later. After I started stage III foods. I still feel it 2 weeks later just not as much. I have to start following the rules instead of listening to my body... Because my body tells me I'm hungary but my mind knows I'm not!!!! Jes-I just my try that 5 day pouch test Monday... Are you doing it now? How is it going? Tina-did you find your pedometer today? Are you back at work. I thought I lost mine one day and decided to start clipping it to my underwear and looping the string through the leg. That way I know it's not going anywhere. I do check it when I go to the bathroom. I have almost my own personal goal of 10,000 steps 4 times this week. So far, I have done it 3 days this week. One more to go. More if I can handle it. Lets make good choices ladies and gentleman!!!

Hi Everyone! I hope all are well. I think it's the weather that makes us want to eat....I downed to many chocolate covered almonds yesterday and the day before and the scale was not friendly to me this morning. I was up 2.3lbs from yesterday's weight...WTF??? 2.3lbs in one day...I don't think so.... So, it was back to the plan... today...I did okay, not great but OK. Tina-How many steps are you at??? I did make myself do the treadmill after eating to much for dinner... I managed to do 52 minutes.... I am so tired... and my foot hurts. Candra-I am glad you were able to get a tiny fill. We both have 5cc's now.... Maybe we will lose some weight. I really want to be in Onederland. I have 3lbs to go....However, it may be more like 4lbs since the candy episode. Tamra-I'm glad you are up and about. Keep up the good work. Are you having any gas? Riley-Yes, girl!!! Guard your heart. You are too precious. Try not to fall in love or like too quickly. Heather-Keep at it. The scale will move. I only update my ticker based on my Kaiser Weights. Reggie-I would love to come to your house. Feb 13 won't work for me either. That is Valentine's Day Weekend. February 6 works for me so far. What city do you live in? Nicolie-Hey girl! How are you? Everyone I missed!!! How are you?

Good morning all! Not at 100% today. Hope my eating and exercise is up to par!!!

Ash-glad to hear you had a good b-day. Hahahah on the 25...I tried that... Enjoy! Tina-I bought a pedometer after meeting the ladies for the first time and I have been wearing it every day! The "people" say we should aim for 10,000 steps/day. I'm not sure how many miles that equates to but I do know that 10,000 steps is considered highly active. I have reached 10,000 many times...I move around alot. I average 5,000-6,000 on regular days. My goal for this week is to get that 10,000 at least 4 days. So far, I have met the goal Mon and Tues...I took a day of rest today. Trust me, I will be back at it tomorrow.
