Hello everyone...I am being banded on April 10th. I am so excited! Seems like it's been forever to get to the countdown, but I think it'll be here before we know it!

Anyone else scheduled in April? We need to come up with a group name!

Sunny and smooth sailing!! LOL!

Thanks so much guys! I appreciate all of your kind words.

Don't worry Brandy - the good thing about TOM weight is that it comes right back off.

Do we have a new challenge yet?

Well... I have yet to update my ticker but the fill that I thought was too tight to begin with might be just right! I lost 2 more pounds! I am at 208 now.

Since I have adjusted what I am eating and added more calories I have began losing. I am so super happy to be this close to Onderland!

Last of '08 is the new short-term challenge on the boards...let me find the link...

Way to go Brandy!!! WooHoo!!

Thanks for the link Leslie. I joined in.

Leslie I hopped in on your thread too. I had a goal of 191 on the other thread so I lowered this one to just 198 to make onderland since it's less than 2 months :thumbup:

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to switch back to the dailyplate original site rather than the live strong? Somehow mine only goes to livestrong and I dont really like it.

I'm not sure I really like the livestrong one either. I've been giving it a try. I kind of wish I had just stayed at daily plate. I don't think you can switch back from livestrong, you just have to go to the link below and start there again.

www.thedailyplate.com

When you login there is a little gray area below the Livestrong link that says continue on to the dailyplate. That's the one I use. I don't like Livestrong either. I guess they were looking for a partner.

How's everyone?

Hey guys! I stayed home from class today because I have a raging UTI. I have a kidney disorder that makes me produce an ton of stones. So, when I pass one I sometimes get a UTI. This one is particularly bad. I tried to work out last night and could because it hurt too bad. I'm so bummed because I just got down under 199 and can't workout. I'm a little freaky about it, I need to just relax and get well.

Anyway, how are you guys?

Good Morning everyone. My Tom is a few days late I wish it would just come and go so I can get over the bloating hah.

Bea you're right you need to relax for a bit and get well. Plus changing things up sometimes jump starts things too. Maybe you will shock your body a bit :tongue:

Bea - take it easy hun! Don't overdo....this isn't a race. You need to rest and get well. The weight will come with time. Heal and you'll be back to kicking bootay before you know it!

Brandy - I hate TOM...had mine last week...((hugs))

Hey guys! Hope everyone has been doing good. I have to go back an read posts since last Friday....

I've been pretty down the past couple of days. My tightness has completely disappeared and was able to eat this weekend like a mad woman. But I did still manage to lose a pound - go figure. I've also been dealing with a sick child, husband who is way too keyed up about the election and a 14 year old drama queen.

I did call my Dr today and luckily he is going to do another fill Thursday. We leave for our trip to Lake Placid in a week and a half and I new I didn't want to go up there being able to eat like I've been. So, I'm excited about that. Also, I am getting a haircut Friday, going to see High School Musical 2 (the Broadway show) on Sunday with my Drama queen so I have things to look forward to, but just down on myself right now. It is such a pain that I went backwards so badly and haven't been able to catch back up yet!

I know, I know....things will turn around but right now I just want to whine. So, hope you guys don't mind. If I told my hubby what's been going on, he'd just give me one of those lectures to snap out of it so I haven't even mentioned it to him. I've been eating in secret again....lunch to about 3pm then refrain once family is around. Oh, to be full again after just 1/2cup of food is what I long for....I pray that Thursday will be the day!
