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!

Carol

Thats awesome news Colorado! I wish her a very speedy recovery. So she did get her christmas miracle eh?

Well I am doing great... despite my band opening up some and being able to eat more I woke up down another pound. Every pound I lose now is really exciting since I am under 200 now and it's getting close to time for hawaii!!

Hope everyone had a very safe happy holiday.

Also I have enjoyed reading your blog!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Ladies (and gentleman lurkers)...yes I'm alive, no I'm not kicking...well not much...

Well after being a glutenous (to what my band would allow) pig over Thanksgiving and Christmas and going to buy some pants with my lovely Kohl's gift card (damn the 16's were tight)...I realised I am sabotaging myself! WTH am I doing? Of course I relealise this licking cheeto dust off my fingers. No I haven't gained much - but more importantly I hadn't lost anything either.

Protein? 0...lowfat foods? 0....Fruits/Veggies...that's laughable....chips? Yep, Sliders? Yep...Girls what am I doing to myself? I had WLS for what reason? Sure as hell wasn't to go back to eating crap and sitting on my lazy butt in front of the TV. March-August - Weight loss 50 pounds....August-December - 0 pounds...What's wrong with this picture?

So what did I do this morning...I got up and went to the gym. Rather than half-ass walk (which means 10 minutes then sit in the sauna for 15)...which is what I've been doing for two months...I actually walked and jogged a bit. Then I got on the bike and rode for five miles. I sweated! Woohoo! Yea for sweat!!! I'd forgotten how good it felt.

So today ladies I did something else....Guess what? I logged my food? Nope hell hasn't frozen over...I'm done talking the talk. It's time to walk the walk.

I'm going to be a new me in 2009. Okay so maybe I have some food addicition issues. Cheetos? Just say no! Doritos? Just say no!

Okay - so I'm back. Now will each of you kick my ass and remind me why i miss all of you so much?

Big HUGS and KISSES!!!!! I miss you so much...so I'm back to annoy everyone and give uneducated and unrequested advice. Miss me much? lol

Okay now that I've gotten my "book out of the way". How's everyone? Congratulations Brandy on Onderland! You rock girlie!!! CC - I hope your daughter is doing well. Congrats and speedy recovering!!

Turler? Bea? Mom?

Good Morning all. I don't have a loss to report :tongue2: I will survive though as the scale has been super good to me last week... especially since it was a holiday.

I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track. I hate new years resolutions so I am starting early haha.

This is the first year I don't have a resolution of being under 200 by the next year :huh2:

OMG LESLIE IS BACK (((((((((((())))))))))))))))))!!!!

You better not run off again lil missy!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Leslie! I am having the exact same issues! Aaarrrggg! It is so frustrating!

I also started the 5 day pouch test today. Trying to get back on track. I still have the resolution to get under 200. I have bounced between 204 and 210. It has been frustrating but I have noone to blame but myself!

I read your blog today Colorado :tongue2: It's neat. I love to read them... Kinda gives you a little more insight about them..

When I write my blogs I am just rambling.. The best part is I just assume no one will ever really read them so I say whatever I want.

I am new to blogging. I just write about whatever strikes me. I just added a post about Onderland. I read yours and really liked it!

Ladies I'm back on liquids/mushies myself (self imposed) for a week. Hoping to kick start me back. Can we pretend we are newbies and ignorant? Yep sounds like a plan to me!

Oh I had a blog - but when I had my mental breakdown I deleted it like a dufus...I need to read ya'lls and get back to blogging myself. Accountability thing :-)

I have some jeans.. some new some older that are mostly size 16. Anyone have a need? Still have some 2x shirts to throw in with it. These are all casual clothes as I don't have to dress up for my office job! (hooray for me lol)

Let me know.

Ah hum - size 16 Misses loved and appreciated. Damn I want 14's...alas still in 16's (Misses) - Okay I like to type that word. W is gone forever!!...I have two pairs right now that fit, but if someone else that needs them more than I wants them I won't be a clothes whore...TY Brandy :-)

Don't need the shirts - in a XL. You are the bomb! Okay I'm a dork I know.

Hi girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leslie- what in the world have you been doing??? I've missed you so much! I am on here from time to time, but my school schedule last term was killer and I just didn't have time to post. PLEASE email me!

Brandy-you are just doing awesome. It's so fun to 'hear' the excitement in your words. I'm on your tail. I've eaten everything in sight though, so I don't think I'm gonna make it to Onederland before the end of the year! LOL But damn I'm close!

What exactly is the 5 day pouch test? and why do we want to do this?
