Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

Good morning, @ work just wanted to wish everyone a happy Tuesday :tongue2:

Tamra

Good Morning All,

I agree that it's this comrodery that keeps us all going. If I didn't have you all I wouldn't have gotten this far!

riley, I think you can eat more because you are so active and burn so so so many calories!

Pam I am so glad you broke thru that platau - do you realize that in the last week you've lost just as much weight as you did in the last 5 months! That's awsome!

Will power seems to be a four letter word for me! But I really am inspired to do better now!

gotta run - hit the shower and get my day started - so behind schedule! haven't even done my walk yet this morning. I have another headache and my maxalt isn't really working on this one so well grrrr!

Hey girls,

I agree Riley you burn a lot of calories.. so you need more to run your body. :cursing:

So for bfast i did the string cheese and 10 almonds.. and after i was done i realized i could have my egg and cheese and its less cals lol. But the good thing is the string cheese is enough, so that reassured me.

Hey ladies btw, i need to put in an order today for Passion Parties to qualify to keep my Team Leader title. I am 130 short. So if you have ever wanted something or need something let me know you can get it today at 40% off, and also we will split shipping so your shipping will be lower then normal. As low as 3.00...

Let me know... whatever i cant get orders for i have to order myself, and since we are low on funds thought id offer my discount...:thumbup:

What is everyones plans for the day? I hope we hear from the san jose guy today.. the CEO yesterday LOVED mike, and now the CFO is going to be calling.. ekkkkk Fingers crossed.... Yeah it will suck if we have to move there but better then oregon and montana i think:D

whoo-hoo my dr is back today after a 3 week vacation. I sent her an email requesting to skip the class and go to Richmond for the orientation lol. we will see what happens!

I agree about the comrodory because im one that fails easily and you ladies have kept me motivated. And even when i hit a plateu i know you all know what im going thru so it makes it easier to NOT give up:D

thats why at the support meeting i told everyone we are acheiving our goals and they should join us to acheive theirs too:)

Christine you are totally motivating!! You are a lap band ROCKSTAR !

Reggie WOO HOO nice new pic, you sexy thing!!!

Nicole San Jose would be fine!!! You would still be close, SO better than Montana!!

Good choices all day girls . . .

That's me today, can you tell? The string cheese just isn't sticking with me . . . .

OK so the nice man that has the cafateria here @ the county has been telling me since last weeki about this "greek-style salad" he is going to make today, he's been so excited about it so I HAD to go see him at lunch and get one! It was chicken breast, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, black olives, green onions, celery, and some kind of goat-milk yogurt & dill dressing . . . no lettuce, lots of cukes. I thought I could get the chicken & the dressing on the side, but when I got there it's all pre-mixed. . . great, oh well he's SUCH a nice guy (yes, I read the chapter on eating to please other people), so I took it & put 1/2 of it in another contained and ate the 1/2 that was left (probably 2/3 cup) and OMG! It did not slider, even with the dressing! It is suitting ABOVE my band, I don't like it but I sure did stop! Maybe my restriction will come back after all! :-)

omg i just had an heart attack, mikes va is 400 short! we all know how much i count on it..

Just checkin in to keep my motivation up!

So far I had 2 hard boiled eggs for Breakfast & for lunch a 1/2 c chicken salad with 2tsp mayo. feeling like I just want to eas something though!

Riley you're such a people pleaser LOL - glad you're feelin some restriction though. Thanks for the link - I'm a freequent leave the house unprepared type a gal so I'm gonna check that out!

Nicole, it will all work out - Mike will have that Job & you can only do what you can do so don't stress off the money right now.

Good news!

I just found out the 250 is a stimulus payment and the 644 is still coming, THANK GOODNESS!!! I was so stressed out there.

I want to drink water but it's only been an hour and I want to hold off as long as I can. I can tell my pouch is still full . . but my bigger (lower) tummy is HUNGRY! Maybe if I drink it will wash it into the lower tummy and make me not hungry anymore??

I MIGHT have had a snack today. My daughter got cinnimom twists at Taco bell and I ate a few. I need to find out how much damage has been done on Calorie counter............they were yummy!! I also ate 1/2 a bagel this morning at work...........I broke my own no carb rule and it went down no problem.........sorta surprizing. I figured I would only be able to eat a couple of bites but before I knew it it was gone. Good think I only took 1/2.

Besides that I have been good. I do need to drink more Water. I had to removed kids from their home today so stressed out!! Maybe that is why I snacked. Must be because I was in a rush and just grabbed food on the run today..............

Hitting the water tonight and thought about skipping dinner but I am gonna make and eat lentils or else I will be a risk for snacking all night from hunger.

Ahh......................thats the honest truth!!
