Hello all, I am getting ready to go to the seminar and in hopes of changing my life for ever. I have already got pre-certified from my insurance so hopefully the next 6 mo. will go by quickly. I am very nervous but excited. I am looking for new friends and experiences so talk to me and I also would like to know other peoples receipes and do's and don'ts regarding diet after the surgery. Beck:wink_smile:

I'm headed off to bed. My son's 8th birthday is tomorrow, so I've got a busy day planned! Talk to you later.

thanks for answering me kyla if you can lose 10 lbs in the first week i should be fine. :hurray: now i dont feel so worried.

You're welcome. :rolleyes2: Just stick to the plan and you will do awesome!

Have fun with your son tomorrow! happy birthday to him yay!

So Jeannie said she can tell who is cheating due to no waitloss?? I wonder if she thinks Im cheating? Im not but Im not loosing again for some reason. I think it is fluid. Last weigh in, I lost 8 pounds. According to my scales, I have gained a pound or 2. I just dont get it. Im doing everything.... Well, I need to be doing more exercise. I mean, since my last fill Im not eating nearly as much as I used to and Im actually having trouble with meats. You would think I would be loosing... NOOOO Im gaining. It doesnt make any since! I get soo tempted to start taking diet pills again. The only thing I am struggling with is the carbs. I mean Im not eating bread at all, I cant. But there are carbs in EVERYTHING. The only thing I can handle in the morning is cereal, I know that is carbs, but I have tried eggs and stuff like that and they just wont go down. I told my friend I wanted a walknig buddy and she told me that she will walk at her pace and not mine. So whats the point? She would be way ahead of me so it would just be like walking by myself. Anyway.. guess I needed to let off a little steam lol

Hi! I've haven't heard of the WV group. Do you have more information?

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Elizabeth! I am looking for a walking buddy, too. I'm back to work tomorrow so stop by and see me. I'm having trouble losing, too. I don't think I've lost anything in the past 2 wks. See ya!

Pat

Ew, today has not been a good food day. I had fast food for breakfast and lunch and it wasn't lower calorie stuff either. Mom brought home McSkillet burritos for breakfast...oh god lol 500 calories for one of those and of course I eat the whole thing...:cool2: then this afternoon thanks to my lovely time of the month I was craving chocolate like mad so I got a small twisted oreo chocolate frosty...:biggrin: that's 400 calories...bad bad bad froggi. -slaps self-

Syntha 6 (protein drink)- vanilla flavor from GNC is pretty good. It tastes like a vanilla shake. I've heard chocolate and cappuccino is good as well. My friend orders them online. I havent tried those yet.

Good Luck on your weight loss Froggi!!!

I weigh in tomorrow with Lindsey......fingers crossed that I've lost something! According to my scales I have....but last time my scales had me at a 2.5lb loss and theirs at a 1lb loss. :cool2:

Elizabeth - Are you coming to Zumba Monday?

good luck! I don't have a scale for home yet..I need to get one lol. The 10th needs to come quickly I want to see Kaplan!

As far as I know I will be at Zumba tomorrow. I need to get exercising.

Hi Pat!! You found us! I bet you are just so thrilled to be going back to work. .. YEAAA I have a walking buddy! Im so excited. Dad told me that he would walk with me if we just stay in the neiborhood. Yeah, just the circle is .8mile but it is nothing but HILLS. I guess that is why they call it South Hills. I will probably talk to you Thursday. Mom is having her surgery Thursday Morning so I will be there.

Hey, at least your scales say you have lost, mine tells me I have gained. It is different everytime we get on it. Drives me nuts. I quit going by that and just stop by the office maybe once a week and weigh myself.

OK, I'm planning on making it to Zumba Monday. It's at the building next to NOE, right? Used to be or still is a karate type place? I know it's somewhere in this message but what time does it start and how much is it? I'm excited!!

Jenn

p.s. I'm a narcissist too! And OCD because I expect my work to be perfect. Boy to I regret telling my hubby he called me a narcissist! LOL

Jenn - Zumba is beside NOE Office in the Tae Kwon Do place. It starts at 7pm and is $5. See ya there!

No, I don't think she was referring to you at all. I am a slow loser, too. But the point is, we're losing! I guess that some people aren't losing at all, or are gaining. I am still eating some carbs, too. For me, it's all about the portion control. I know that I can not live without carbs. I've tried it with a low-carb diet, but obviously fell off the wagon. I know that I can lose with carb and portion control, so that's what I'm doing and it's working for me. That's why I love my band so much! I would like a walking buddy, too. How fast do you walk? I'm doing about a 12-15 min mile, so not too fast. I know that this whole thing gets frustrating, but keep plugging away and we'll get there!

For those of you who wanted the myspace address for line dancing it's: MySpace.com - Classic Country - 33 - Female - PARKERSBURG, West Virginia - www.myspace.com/classiccountrydance Teresa, can you share that address with the girls you work with?

OK, all you Zoomba people, it was GREAT to finally meet you in person, but when should I be able to feel my calves again? LOL That really was great fun, and I slept like a LOG!

Jenn

I so miss doing Zumba, it's just so hard for me to get there on time! Hopefully next week will work out! It is a lot of fun!

I'm so impatiently waiting for November 10th. Ugh lol. I stood in line today from 11am to 12:30 people waiting to vote. Yay.
