[RAINWI 4]

My thursday weigh in....

Down 1.5 this week. Im happy with that just need to lose 2.5 more by wednesday so that Im in wonderland at the drs office. Gotta crack down on the carbs so I can do it!

Vicki,

I would have been soooo pissed:confused::wink2: if they left me waiting in there( although it has happened once) and I was mad and he wouldnt give me a fill that time. But he does remember that he screws me over so he took me first the last time I was there.

P.S. I have never had a problem with Kim but I know people who have.

Wishing everyone the best

Its funny Rain cause that is the first thing he said to me, well, don't worry your getting a fill.......Well, no sh**, I gained three lbs. I would have followed him home if he didn't give it to me..He also didn't numb me, just stabbed me with the damned needle.:thumbup: We rode down the elevator together and i told him alot of us are not happy with the way things are running up there and he said he knows it is not good right now and then told me about Kim, I had a problem with her right after surgery, she told me I had no restriction at that point and could eat and drink whatever and so I did and when I went back and had gained weight Hoff says what's up and i told him. He was pissed and said Kim doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.. the first time i saw him really mad...I have not seen her since, until yesterday and she lost 55 lbs and let me know it was the old fashioned "hard' way, so I guess she was saying I am weak or whatever. but I told her good for you...then I sat in that damned room for over an hour and you know the rest. I HATE going up there and they even moved my appt up from 3 -2pm what a joke.............:cursing::bored: so any way, today I weigh 209.7 up 2.7 lbs since our first weigh in so I need to lose 12.7 lbs by halloween:scared2:

Vicki,

If Kim really said she lost 55lbs the hard way she should be fired. How rude is that!

P.S. I just make my appointment as late in the day as I can so I can leave work and figure Im going to spend the rest of my night there. Its so pathetic. I've learned to bring books and anything to keep busy.

Mkat,

what di the dr say? was he concerned? Are they going to do more tests?

Hi,

I don't know what the Dr. thinks about it cause the person who called me (Tammy) wasn't very forthcoming with an explination. I was going to call today and get more details but I've been sick the past few days & sleeping the days away, I'll have to call tomorrow (& hope I get some strait answers). I did get paperwork today that says I have to take some steroid at 11pm then get a blood test at 8am the next morning............I guess we'll see what happens after that.

..............to be continued

I hear you, I couldn't believe she said that to me, I honestly didn't know how to reply!

I finally learned how to play the one and only game on my cell phone yesterday, and even got bored with that!!

where is jen and biggurl

[vicki's band 0]

Rain, I just calculated my BMI, and it says normal is under 24.9 so I have to weigh less than 150 cause 150 puts me right at 25...sigh..........have to change me goal again

[BigGurlX 0]

where is jen and biggurl

I'm here..calm down! This week I weighed in at 279..I think i'm a pound down...very slow gowing

[BigGurlX 0]

i would like to be there by the end of the year, but realistically I would love for that to be my birthday present. That gives me until March and well... it is $400 so I will use my taxes to get it

I figure when I started reaching mygoal I was 215 so that is good, 35lb goal mark for the 1st and 25 for the 2nd.

For $400.00 ot better be one helluva jacket! Does it do tricks?? hehe

[BigGurlX 0]

Great way to choose your goal Rain I will also see what mine is...I went to hoff's today and got there at 130 got out at 400 they were turning the lights out and Hoff is on his way to chicago for a week, for conference... anyway, he forgot about me and was on his way out the building and they caught him and said Vicki is still waiting.. I was pissed but when he turned on the charm I melted...:thumbup: So, I gained 3.3 lbs up to 211.3. He was going to give me a .5cc fill and I said wait, You took .5 out cause i was too tight and so I don''t think we should put more than .3cc for now, so i have to go back in 4 weeks...

Yeah he his a charmer. I hope he's back next week for my appt cause he's the only one i'll let do da stickin
