i just wanted 2 share my date with others. So if any 1 else has surgery on the 15 of dec. Please introduce ya self. Im happy n excited.

Glad to see you back Rose. Very nice China planning out the whole meal thing. I missed my water arobics class today because I spent an hour on the phone trying to make an appointment for my 20 yr old daughter who broke her arm this sat. snowboarding. I will have to get some wii fit time in then. I finally got her an appointment at 2PM today. What we do as mothers.... I know it is hard for her to talk on the phone and write. I may have to call out of work this afternoon to take her. I am hoping her cousin can go with here as I have used up alot of sick days this year because of surgery. Hope everyone has a great day. Laurel

Hello everyone thank you all for thinking of me. I did have a bad cold and it has been a hard week for me. I got alot of rest and drank alot of fluid and am feeling alot better tonight. I will go check out Circut Ciy tomorrow to see about getting the wii and wii fit. I am going to start back up my walking and treadmill tomorrow. Being sick has set me back alittle but I have not gained anything and that is always a plus.

glad to see everyone doing well. I have been trying hard to keep up on calories, protein and fluids. I must being doing something right, as my weight is starting to slowly coming down. Thank goodness my work schedule isn't as crazy as it usually is at this time. The past 2 days, 1 meal I am very hungry. Thank goodness I do have some control. Atleast making good food choices. Hope everyone continues to do well. Laurel:thumbup:

well good evening everyone how's everyone doing. well today is tuesday and i went and got on my dr's scale today and noticed that i was on a different scale. i read that i was 5lbs lighter than last week. i'm not gonna get happy or change my tickler until friday when i go get on wlc's scale. so that way i can see if they are both right or is my dr's scale off any. so cross your fingers. i also started keeping track of calories on dailyplate.com and it really helps i will come back and post how many calories i eat today. well how was everone elses day.

I am back to working out. Today I went for a mile walk and it was beautiful and 85 here. I go for my first fill a week from tomorrow. Take care everyone. Keep up the good work.

Glad your are feeling much better Rose. My first fill is 1/27. China, I have tried the daily plate and 1 other one. I did 2 water arobics classes today. I need to carry around a pad to write down everything I eat so when i have a chance I can post it and watch what I am doing. I do have 1 girl I work with who had her surgery on 6/30 so I been asking her some questions too. I too wish I could learn to play poker. I do understand basics. I am always afraid to play in Atlantic City or Las Vegas. It is cold her today it was around 10 degrees at 6am. Friday it will even be a little colder. I am looking forward to the nicer weather too. Hope everyone is doing well. Laurel

Today I had a piece of turkey breast get stuck and it was so painful. Now I know what slim is. I need to learn to chew better. I walked again today, I am enjoying the beautiful weather. What did you guys eat today:

B - 1 cup cherrios 1/2 cup non fat milk

1/2 banana

L - Turkey breast on whole wheat tortilla

D - 3 oz salmon, green Beans, beets

I go for my first fill next wendesday 1/21 I am looking forward to it.

lucky u too. i had 904 calories today. i feel stuffed for some reason. now im wondering why my dr. has me coming back in feb.24th for my fill. this really sucks.

Goodmorning China and Rose. My friend has lost 57 lbs so far. I understand to cards in poker, i just have no idea how and when to bet. I have to start writing down what I eat so I can log it. Seems lately I don't get much computor time in. Mostly because I am either at work or I am excercising. I am trying to keep track in my head but I know I need to put on paper in front of me cause I know I can tend to forgot things. It is snowing here so I am not going to water arobics today. On my way home from work this morning, I saw too many accidents. It isn't worth chancing an accident. I will stay home and do my wii fit until I go back to work. Hope everyone has a great day. Laurel

Hello everyone....sorry to hear about the bad weather. I could not live where it snowed. It was do nice here today 80 degrees and enjoying the outdoors. I went for a nice long walk and than rode my bike for 20 min. It is so nice to be able to exercise and not be in so much pain in my feet and legs 15 lbs makes a big difference in how I feel.

The only way to learn how to bet at poker is play, play and play. I play online at pokerstars I love it.
