Hey, hey, hey!!!! I'm back! Today, I weighed 204.6lbs... I have to go change my ticker... I am so happy...I want to knock-off the 4.6lbs by next week...Do you all lose after having a fill??? Yes, I did get a fill. I already had 4cc's inside and he added 1cc....I am now at 50% full. I am back on Stage 1 today and Dr Fisher said to go up one stage per day...Not just clear liquids for 2 days. What do the other Dr's have you all do??? Pam-The only reason I waited was because I was flipping through a Lia Sophia Catalog and lost track of time and I was trying to wait unil 9:45am and just leave and go on to my Dr appt...To heck with Robin. I did ask Dr Fisher, "I know it may be benificial...but is it a requirement that we meet with Robin???" He said, "No!" It's not a requirement but sometimes helpful to us and it helps give them feedback....He took his time with my appt and I did not feel rushed. We were able to have a real candid, personal...professional conversation... He made me feel so comfortable..... I was finished at 10am. Food??? Breakfast at 10:30am-Tropical Green Tea w/ 4tsp. sugar Lunch-16oz. Chicken Broth Later, for dinner I plan to have more chicken broth and some jello....I need to go make it now. Canolie and Tamra-you ladies are so close....I know you can taste it!!! Tamra-Lets hit the gym this week....I am trying to come to the Richmond Support Group Wednesday...Maybe we can workout Thursday or Friday afternoon....I have to make sure my husband can get the kids. Riley-It won't be long before I squeaze into those size 10 Banana Replublic pants.... Candra-Did you call to make your appt???? Do I need to call for you? You know I will make them squeaze you in!!!!:rolleyes2: Dr. Fisher told me my next appt will be in 12 weeks... Somewhere around April 4th..... By then...3 months from now, I would like to be 180lbs..... I better hustle.... I will be lurking.....I took off today because I did not know what time I would be finished nor how I would feel after the fill................ Be back... John....where are you?????

Good morning! So, I'm at the good Dr Fisher. Wanting for my fill. I am a tad bit piturbed!!! I hustled my babies this morning to be here for 8:30am! Up at 6am, out the door by 6:30am. Two bay drop-offs..... I get here at 8:00am, early. Register and WAIT.... And WAIT for bi*** a** Robin! Mind u my appt with her was at 8:30am. Why is she not working today. I sat here until 10til 9:00am for someone to finally tell me! It's ok because I didn't wan to meet with her anyway! So now I'm in the exam room waiting on Dr Who! I better get a fill. I weighted in at..... 204.6lbs!!!! Down from 206.4lbs on 11/20. I am happy I was albe to lose the Vegas weight amd a couple more. I'll be back I think he's coming.....

testing my photo adding skills...........

ummmmm....Cinabon!!!! Sounds good....I want one...Why do I feel like I eat way more than you all.... I have to confess. I ate a slice....slither of a slice of Nations Cheesecake last night after dinner. It sure was good. I got to get that thing out of here...Still half left. Candra-are you calling for an appt??? Please do...Put the fire under Dr Who!!! Canolie-congrats on the jeans... Isn't it great when someone can use something you can't?

John-I hope to be gone by 10am. My appt with Robin is at 8:30am and with Dr Fisher at 9:00am. A fill better not take that long.....I will catch you next time. Good luck with your appt. Be sure to keep us posted.

John-Happy New Year! I can't wait to meet you. As I admire your faith in the "process" and ability to hang with this crazy bunch. LOL.... Your turn is coming. Yes, Bridezilla is total craziness!!! You would not believe some of the BS these women demand, expect and do for their weddings... I chose the no frills way-out...Contrary to popular belief...most of us would never act that way!!!! Enjoy........You will if nothing else, get a good laugh.

Dang, when you're trying to eat small...it sure doesn't take any time to eat... Breakfast-5oz. Portorhouse steak with 1tbsp A1 steaksauce (17cal). I think I'm full....Can't tell because I have on that Body Magic Tank top....Synching in my tummy.....So, let's go with, "I'm full!" LOL

Good Morning All, I slept pretty well too! I've had my coffee and am contemplating breakfast....Well, lunch given what time it is...I may go eat a few slices of turkey and a string cheese. I must prepare for my fill tomorrow and the liquid diet that follows.... I plan to hit the treadmill when the baby goes to sleep. Have a good day!!!

Hey ladies, I had a good time with you all today. Candra and Tamra-It was nice and refreshing to finally meet you both. You both are so sweet... Tamra-I'm between Loveridge and Sommersville. We can go to the gym anytime....I need to hustle this weight off!!! Pam, Jes, Riley, Nicolie...it was nice seeing you all again...Let's keep it up and each other motivated. BTW....it's going to be awhile before I can fit into those size 10 pants....Oh well, a girl can dream!!! Oh, yeah...It will not be a dream. It will be a reality!!! How do you add pictures to your post???? Help.

Jes-Lookin' real HOTT in those leather pants.... Good job. Nice honey pic! You both look very happy!!!! You are so right....It is a choice... I need to make better one's too!!!! Glad to see we are all catching up to the wagon and jumping on!!!! Hold on....here I come!!!!

Hey there ladies!!! Happy New Year!!!! I will be there tomorrow!!! I can't wait to see you all and meet those I have not met... I am probably going to purchase lunch at one of the two restaurants we passed last time....Remember, I was feigning for the Clam Chowder???? I have learned lots in 2009 and more to come in 2010....Will share later...............Enjoy the day....:biggrin:

Good Morning Good People!!! Today is that New Day we keep talking about.....Okay, so let's start this off right...My scale a few minutes agos said...205.8lbs... This means I am back to my Pre-Vegas and 1 lb down from my last weigh-in on 11/23 with Dr. Who!!!! I can't get excited because I had 2 loaded Margaritas at my girlfriend's house while trying on the Body Magic suits.... I needed the DRINKS and the girltime.... I will try to eat well today... Unfortunately, I am hungary already and planning to go out to breakfast.... I want a Bacon and cheadar omelette. My husband gets of early and we may go out with the kids. I promise I won't eat it all...HEHEHE! Candra-Okay, you're off the hook...My eyes were playing tricks on me....I saw, "Candy" and thought it said, "Candra"....LOL, sorry!!!! Jes-I'm like you...My legs and thighs have never had much weight. I have more middle and breast. When I lose weight. My knees, legs, and thighs are the first to go. I know, I'm not complaining. I really like it. I just wish the stomach would follow. If it weren't for that thing...I could probably fit into a 12...I am currently into a 14 or 16...Down from my 18's. TTYL......................

Jes, you go girl for wearing your size 12 petitel leather pants!!! Whoo, whoo! I love it. Doesn't feel great to wear pants you have been saving to wear and couldn't wait to get back into too??? Have fun at the show... No plans for tomorrow here.. We are having grilled lobster from Costco.... and chillaxin at home with the children.... I want to get a 34 Body Magic...so, I will have to wait for that!!! Gotta go watch the news........WTF???

Candra, maybe they are reviewing...Where the heck are you going to be on Saturday??? You can't make it???? AWWWW!

Good evening all, so, I just returnen from my Body Magic appt and I bought the tank.... I love it. I actually purchased a Medieum...Can you hear me??? I said a Medium.... I tried a large first and could get into it so easily the representative said I should try a medium...I was like, "Whoa!!!!!" So I tried it and guese what???? It fit...I have not worn a medium anything in years.... I did try on an official Body Magic suit...contraption and I tried a 38...I could have fit into a 36.... I am not ready to fork out that kind of $$$$. Knowing I won't fit it in a few months...with the weight loss....I'd rather wait until I get closer to goal.... Jes-I will have to try that one next time...Gayles friend, sells them...Let me know if you need a contact...I paid 30+ for my tank. I may see you all Saturday......Later.

Hey ladies and John, I vote to byol....bring yo own lunch!!!! LOL I also need the name of the pier again so I can Mapquest it.... I am horrible with directions even though I have been there. Are we set on 11am???? Maria-Thanks for the info. I can't wait until Monday...were you able to go to work afterwards....I'm trying to decide if I'm taking the entire day or just the AM off. Jes-I wish I had some of that cake....Glad you had fun at the slumber party. Candra-Yes, we may finally meet....I can't wait either. I am trying to go to the meeting in Richmond on Wednesday and start the year off right...It might make me accountable... I am getting ready to go try on a Body Magic tank top....Not the $150.00 special...Just the tank....Much cheaper. I'll let you all know how that goes. I'll be back..

Good Morning All, Today is a brand new day...Let's make something happen' I am happy to say that I a am a tad bit down this morning....Back to 206.5lbs on my scale....That means about 204.5lbs on Kaiser's scale... but I would have to RUN....not walk straight there.....NOW!!! Who knows what it will be on Monday. Maria-congrats on getting your 1st fill. How much weight had you lost since surgery? I get a fill on Monday...Are you sore? Did he find the opening on the first try???? Good Day to all!!!

Count me in for Saturday...if we do Vallejo. Like Jes, I have plans for the late afternoon so early to mid-morning would work for me.... 10am or 11am would be good. That way we can be done around 12pm and possibly finished eating by 3pm.... Just let me know... Tamra-would you like to carpool? I can drive Antioch???? I totally forgot who it is that lives in Antioch... Would you like to carpool????

Good Evening Ladies!!! Christmas is OVER!!!! Tomorrow is a brand NEW DAY!!!! Let's start over....Sure! Nobody's looking!!!! Go ahead! Start....Now!!!! It's late...No more food...eating for the night!!!! WATER ONLY!!!! LET'S GO!!!!

Enjoy the Wii Active..... I got a Wii Fit Plus and I had already purchased the Jullian Michaels Wii game...I can't wait to play it tomorrow...

Good Evening Everyone! I hope all had a very Merry Christmas!!! I certainly did. My fam always has a great time when we get together.... I must say that I did not do too bad today.... My family has ditched the traditional foods and we have Seafood Gumbo and that's all on Christmas. I had 2 bowls and it was all protein....Shrimp, chicken, hotlinks and a tiny-tiny bit of rice at the bottom of one of the bowls. I also had 2 shots of tequila....Opps! Jes-you are right....Tomorrow is a new day! Tamra-Okay, so we are not going to talk about it...Just try to get back on track tomorrow...Remember, Christmas is one day...Not a week! We also have to remember we still have New Year's Eve.... Lee-good for you....Walking the lake today....On Christmas....I wish I still lived in the 'Town (Oakland). Are we getting together next week....How about a Pre-New Year's Lunch....Breakfast....We can all eat that....I'm an early riser....Breakfast would be great for me... I have to go check on the little people...Be back............

Good morning all, Candra, go call Kaiser now....They're open... Get that appt...Weasel your way in like I did. LOL. I am trying to find my exercise flow too. I caught a ride on the treadmill 3 days in a row...Whoa! tamra-keep up the pace. Canolie-ummmm, Chili....Sounds good.... Good work on not eating the other foods....It will pay off really soon. Next you will be like me....Happy to lose some of the fluff but sad (mad!!! :tongue:) when you have to give away your good clothes..... Jes-thanks for the positive encouragement. How are you doing with the exercise and food plan? Heather-Yes, it is hard to refocus after a vacation...Good for you on eating healthy so soon.... You can do it! I am getting ready to go see The Princess and the Frog. TTYL............ Have a great day!

Here to give myself a pat on the back.....:tongue: I hit the treadmill 3 days in a row... 50 minutes @ 3.3mph, 2.66miles YEAH!!!! Where is everybody???? It sure is quiet???

Hello All!!! I am striving like Tamra! Hey girl! I plan to hit the treadmill in a few minutes and take my evening shower and chillax!!! Beatriz-Thanks for the encouragement. I can't wait for the fill. How much did you lose post-op and before the fill? Have you lost any since the 1cc was added? Mama Ash and Canolie-thanks for the encouragement, too! I am trying harder to stick to this....We are in this for life. Tamra-you go girl...I am so proud of you.... Planning is the key for me too!!! I may make some jello for later... Riley-I am so happy you are having fun in the dating world...Yes, you may need to take a break...You sound so busy....I can barely keep up... and yes, us married people can sometimes be fun too! I would love to hang out with you all.. Just say where and when. Jes-the romantic meal sounds so good. That may be our New Year's Eve Meal....If we don't end up going out.... Honestly, I am not pressed to go anywhere.... Everyday is a new day for me..LOL. Candra-I called early last week and on last Friday and was told by Beverly that the January calendar was not out yet. She told me to call back this week. I called yesterday and spoke to Annabelle and I told her that it seems rather late for the January calendar not to be out as it is almost the end of December. She put me on hold and came back asking me when did I want to come...I was like, "Whoa!!!!" She said she needed to double check Robin's schedule and I could hear her speaking with Robin... She said she was squeazing me into the schedule.... Not sure if the calendar is our or what the heck is going on... She did offer me Jan 5 in Vacaville. Maybe you could get that appt. Lee-yes, we can do this together!!! Let's go!!! I know I'm forgetting some...I will catch you next time...I must go catch this treadmill while I am a tiny bit motivated......................................................:tongue:

Hi all!!!! I have to admit...I am so proud of myself... Yesterday, I hit the treadmill and did 2.5miles... and I did it again today....I did 2.5miles and have walked 11,237 steps so far...I am wiped though...Maybe it will make up for the Margarita I had yesterday and the chocolate covered almonds I ate tonight... I plan to get on that treadmill everyday that I am off.... NEWS!!!! I WEASELED MY WAY INTO AN APPT WITH BOTH ROBIN AND DR WHO....I MEAN DR FISHER.... MY APPT IS JANUARY 4TH AT 8:30AM WITH ROBIN AND 9:00AM WITH DR FISHER....WHOO-WHOO!!! I am so happy....I need this fill like never before... This is going to make me work harder to lose this 6,7,8++ lbs that I keep playing with...I need to break the 200 mark and enter Onederland by 1/4!!!!! That means I really have to watch it over the holidays.... Heather, welcome back! Tamra-I'm ready to hit the gym when ever you are....Let's do this!!!! Jes and all-I would like to get together with you all if we can agree on a good day and time...When is everyone free? It may be kind of difficult with the holidays.... Okay so my hand just hit something and I thought I lost my entire post....I'm posting now...I could say more.
