Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

Tina we can trade books. I'll dig out what I got in the recipe box and gather up what i can find that's appropriate. If I can figure out how to email them to you i will do it that way.

Maybe I will go in with a measuring tape around my neck and suddenly blurt out............I wonder what this is for!! LOL.

swrktp@yahoo.com

Italians make the best cooks and I have heard other things but I have zipped my lips since I myself am not Italian!! LOL

What have you heard about italians??? I am 50%.

So is ANYONE going tomorrow. Its an hour drive for me so i wanna make sure people are showing lol.

I like the measuring tape Idea - wear it around your waist like a belt - LOL. Being weight loss specialists I'd think they would understand the importance of measurements. Don't stress, the scale with drop down in no time.

I'm telling you I can't cook! The faux baked ziti was a fluke.

Sorry Nicole, i won't be there! I'm 1/2 Italian (Genovese) too and 1/2 mut (Sicilian).

Tina, the other stuff you heard is, most likely, true - LOL! Speaking of nationalies, where are you from? I thought i detected a slight accent in your voice.

Ok I will make a belt of braided measuring tapes and stylishly tie them around my waist!! Thing is I am crazy enough to do it just as a practical joke..............

Actually I am gonna talk to Dr. Baggs about the inches thing. I know they get it...................see what he says.

He is a very funny guy and that just eggs me on sometimes!! I don't think I would try or say some on the things I do with Dr. Fisher!! LOL.

I hear Italians make better lovers!!! :-) But shhhh........you didn't hear it from me!!

I am scottish american by blood and greek american by marriage or divorce whatever suits you!! I lived in Greece for awhile and was married to greek guy so I adopted that culture and country. My daughter is greek to the core so I am greek by default!! LOL

AH I can cook some mean greek food but it is all high fat being I am vegetarian...............maybe I will try to revise that to low fat sometime!!

The accent is all me. Funny you say that because everyone does but I was born and raised in California except for living in Greece for awhile.

OMG Tina you have me totally busting up! I LOVE the idea of wearing the measuring tape like a belt, then going, "oh gee, I wonder what this is for!' Since I am always the wacko one there, be nice to have some other zanies around there!! LOL, keep em coming laughter burns lots of calories! :-)

I can't go tomorrow, Tuesdays are Board of Supervisors & I am usually presenting so they are pretty much out . . . the Tuesday I got there a few weeks ago was great tho, you guys are SO much fun!!!

They measured us at the beginning & end of our 14-week class in Santa Rosa, I lost 5 freakin' inches off my waist in the time! Nothing so dramatic since, dagnab it . . . .

Rosey ol' pal, good to hear from you!! Wish I had made the meeting you had, dagnab it again . . .I want to meet you! As I was hiking up hills Saturday, giving thanks that my body is working the way He intended for it to again, it occured to me that this whole time that I was thinking He had let me down with this body, in fact the whole time, it was I letting Him down by not doing what I needed to do to keep my body healthy . . . lots of factors in that, of course . . .and how blessed I am to have this band, as it has allowed me to come back to health and realize it, and . . . . anyways as I was walking, I thought I had to tell you that! So there you have it

LOL Tina, no I can't see us having nearly as much fun with Dr. Fischer. While I agree that the braided tapes is TOTALLY stylish, I would implore you to not bring up the fill video just in case he asks you what you thought of it, and you have to answer honestly . . ay yi yi, my bad!!!

Hey you know what would be totally cool, you can make the braided belt & then post a pic & instructions and we can all make them too, wear them everytime we go in, now that's RIGHT up my weird alley!!

How wonderful to live in greece! That must be where the accent is from - I'm tellin you, it's there LOL

Gotta get ready for tomorrow.

Good night ladies

OMG i just found the cals for what i had for lunch and dinner, thank god i didnt have bfast! We went to red robin and i had one of their wraps. holy crapamoli. today is my high day i guess. Oh well lol. Which i dont get where the cals are its very good chicken, cheese, and salad. Thats basically what it consists of.. oh well:D

Greece! My husband lived there for 2 yrs. when he was in the navy. He loved it, and wants to take me there, do you wanna go back?

Holy crapamoli - I LOVE that Nicole!! Can I borrow it for work??

So where is the Pinole MOB? Does anyone have an address? Does anyone know if this is like a 1-hour thing on the 25th, or a 3-hour thing, or ??? I need to request the time off work and I don't know how long it will take me to get there/back or how long I'll be there . . . . thanks gang :smile:

Oh Nicole go to Greece you would LOVE it!! Different there people are very accepting and non judgemental. Family is HUGE in Greece...........and a bit of partying goes on over there. Well ok maybe alot of partying and night clubbing.....

Yep I am going back someday. My daughters family all lives over there and her dad. So we are going back. Just to expensive right now!!!

Nicole I agree with Mike Greece is a great place and very romantic if you go island hopping. Athens can be a pain sometimes which is where I lived. But OMG I LOVE GREECE.

Greek men..........well ok like Italian men but here I go spilling all the secrets tonight. I already foolishly disclosed what I know about Italians..............and there I go dishing on the greeks..........will it never end!!
