Maria - glad to hear you do the seeds too. I haven't used my card yet at all - I usually order Al La Carte (sp?). Be sure your friend is chewing well and stopping by the time she reaches 1/2 cup. Also, I find if I eat on the go or too fast is when I'm not happy with Rambo!

Ash - 11lbs to go - that will be gone in no time. Just tell your husban you'll get him back next year LOL.. Thanks for the 3 day diet - gonna check it out.

Lee - I would love it if you & John would bare butt it to the meeting - what a wonderful site to see and I wouldn't miss that meeting for the world!

John - You ARE at home here!

Pat - nice job girlfriend! The scale can be such a motivator when it wants to be! It can also be a sabatour though LOL. Trying to get to Reggies Saturday so if you are going we can hook up in Vallejo & ride - Jes too - Riley if she can come too....

Heather - you are way too young for hip problems - My knee has been killing me - can't wait to see skiing pics - I'm too afraid to do it myself - no brakes on those things. Have a great time.

Cindy - I think it's real typical to gain some weight back when you start to eat real food again. I portion size seems to be under control thanks to Rambo but my frequency is something I truly need to work on! I get the midnight munchies - imagine if I smoked weed - I'd be like the munching energizer bunny LOL. Adoption is such a wonderful thing to do!

Tam - how were those Taters woman??

Coco - 5 days and a wake up - don't eat too much at Chili's (oops, did I just tell on you?)

Pammie - don't think I could get 2 dogs down either but I sure will try. chew, chew & chew till it gets to mush - joking!

Riley - I had "tofu ala Jane" last night - so scrumptius when you need a doritos fix.

Jes - where are you girlfriend - I'm coming Friday - going to RSVP right now! Are you going to Reggies on Saturday? I am trying to rearrange my schedule so I can be there - Really don't want to miss it - we can carpool!!

Reggie - really want to come Saturday! hope I can get the hair appointment changed!!!! Miss you :thumbup:

Tina - I had a dream about you last night - weirdest thing - but let me tell you, you were in a ba-kini lounging by a pool and you looked smoking hot! That was pretty much all it was - I walked up to you and asked "where is everybody at" and that was the end of it hahahaha. BTW: When you're tan, hot pink is your color!

Oh, Donna, Oh Donna, where for art thou Donna? Hope to be able to see you this weekend - really miss you my love!!

Candra glad you are coming Friday. Not many rsvp'd but there will be a nice crowd. Let's discuss saturday, I'm game if we can get a carpool together.

Pat I know what you mean about the water I can hardly get mine in even now.

Nicolie, chili is no last meal....go for something that is off limits post-op (beer and pizza was my choice) oops I wasn't supposed to say that.

Welcome Cindy!

Hi my dear loved friends.

Sorry i went MIA.. i been kinda depressed since loosing shawn.. but im getting better, (just believe its not true)

So weight loss wise everyone would be proud. i have been working out constantly again for 2 weeks now.. i have a trainer'/friend he keeps me goin. I am now back to what i was when i left mike.. but im stronger lol. Clothes fit comfy again:)no more thinking im bloated lol.

I am eating better too eat at home a lot. I did get sick yesterday but that was off of pure rib meat...

SOOOO I HAD GUM.. guess what i freakin did.. lol yeah you guessed it.. down the tube it went.. So.. we will see if the sucker decides to get stuck:(

[tamra. 6]

Nicole I still chew gum LOL.

Nicollie that's your 6 week checkup. Mine is march 4. I hope I get a fill.

Robin told me I am not walking enough whoops...I barely have. Maybe ill walk tomorrow

[momcof3 1]

I have had gum once but I didn't chew it long as I was afraid I would swallow it.

I got my first fill at my 6 wk checkup but I didn't have anything in my band after surgery - I got 4 cc for my first fill. Dr. Im does fewer fills, but more at a time.

I could go to a Superbowl party with my singles group - but since I don't watch football and can't eat and can't drink alcohol - I decided it wouldn't be much fun and I know I would eat more than I should.

I figured out how to get to Reggie's today - only 14 miles from my house - can't wait to see everyone - I'm bringing my camera this time.

[AudsMom 2]

When is teh get together?? id love to see my girls!

[Desperate1 1]

Coco - sorry for telling on you! That is your follow up appt with Doc Who.

Tam - get ur butt up & walk - I should follow my own advice - I have been slacking so much - it's so cold that I just don't want to do anything - and my knee really hurts - too bad I had to cancel my gym membership.

Nicole - good to see ya hangin in tough. Still can't believe how crazy this whole thing is! I'm so glad they caught them!

Jes - let's get the carpool rolling cuz it is a haul! I'm thinkin of just callin in sick on Saturday with Bridezilla LOL. Today I told her I didn't want to go to dinner and she said too bad - she was at my house 10 min later - grrrr!

Pammie - good decision - I wouldn't go to that party either. Hope to see you Saturday!

Good evening ladies and John. I am so wipe out. My baby girl is sickand had a fever of 102.3 last night. I hate it when my babies are sick.

I can't wait to see you all this weekend. I need a mommy break. The hubby can handle it.

Guess what??? I broke into Onederland!!! I still can't believe it so I can't change my ticker! It was 199.9lbs but still there! I just have to keep the momentum going and not start my self-sabotaging behaviors again.... I had to take a mini break from exercising this week. My left knee is experoliencing a flare-up!!! It's hurting pretty bad. I need to give it a break. I haven't workout since Saturday. I plan to walk tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!

I hope all are well. Ttyl......

Congrads MO!! whoo hooo!!

Soooo I did okay today till Dinner! for Breakfast I had pureed chunky campbells soup...yummy! wasn't bad at all....then I baked a chicken....i used my normal recipe (my mistake)....olive oil, season salt, soy sauce, lemon, oregno, garlic, etc etc etc....

So I take the chicken and puree it with the gravy I made from the juices.....OMG...my gravy was the bomb, buttttttt i couldnt get down more then 1.4 cup...i felt sick, and wanted to instantly throw up. I think my gravy made with everything above was a shock and my body said WTF is this??!?! needless to say I took 5 bits of mashed potatoes and called it a night....

[tamra. 6]

oh and btw my ticker is per Kaiser today

goal: 230 by next friday!!!
