Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

Niclole your baby is adorable....me? mine are all grown and gone. That's why I'm so excited about the band...finally getting around to doing ME.

So I walked around Lake Merritt twice today (aprox 6.5 miles) in about 1 1/2 hrs. my legs are sore so my pedicure came right on time. Then off to lunch with my daughter (tostada salad no chips)

Hope everyone has a safe 4th...lot's o' water.

WOW! I had the craziest day

1st - Nicole - the crib sounds scary, like she could just jump right out and possibly hurt herself if the bar is that low on her now - I think I'd opt for the toddler bed - BUT... (disclaimer) I'm not a parent so please dont got on my word.

Donna, I'M "down" for Friday at 1 - yeah reggie I get to finally meet you! Heather?? You down?? Thanks, donna felling better.

Riley, so happy for you and your sweet spot!

So, my car will be on CBS13 new tonight at 10 - LOL. Actually, it's really not funny! My girl called and was hystarical said she needed me to come over right away - Turns out, her husband ran over her ex-husband in their driveway last night. Husband is in jain, on suicide watch, facing attempted murder charges. her ex-husband is in the hospital, had surgery on his right leg, broken in 2 places and now has a rod in his leg! Crazy!! Reporters were outside her house for hours so I couldn't leave - well I could've but they would have had the camera all in my face wich is something I am not about to let happen!

Stuck away from home unprepared I ate the only things available to be today:

B/L/D - pork rinds & slaw.

Oh so unhealthy and so high in carbs but that is all there was available in this crazy ass situation.

Anyway, I haven't done crap today so it's time to walk. I wasn't suppose to do Week 1, day 3 untill today but I got busy last night & couldn't get my walk in before it got dark so i did it last night on my treadmill in the safety of my garage... Last night was another stupid incident - my sister in law couldn't "handle" having her kids last night so I had to drive to marin to pick them up and didn't get home till 9. GRRRR!

will check back around 9:30 when I get back. be sure to watch my car (the little red one) on the 10 O'clock news, channel 13 LOL

Hey ladies

Busy forum today? We went out to a movie and got my daughters hair cut. Mother/daughter day.........lots of fun.

I ended up getting new pants all my 18's are getting to big. Which is crazy it has only been a short time ........I almost went from 20's to 16 in a month............I figured I would just try and OMG the 16 are perfect now...........

My band seems tight too. Especially in the morning now. I can eat more than 1/4 of a cup though so I am thinking it could be just a bit tighter but darn near my sweet spot I think........Same thing here I don't get hungry as much with this fill like I did with the first one. The restriction is pretty consistent...........I definetely know I have a band. I have also been careful about snacking and eating protien this time around.

Gotta agree with you all I LOVE my band. Best decision I have made in a long time..............

Watching a movie with my girl. Girls day and all you know!!

Oh Nicole the job??

Also I regretted taking my daughter out of the crib to soon. Girl was running around the house getting into stuff and naptime was a chore...........Can't go back to the crib once they taste freedom!! I say keep her there as long as you can for everyones sanity. ......just my mom opinion.

B: 16 wheat things (140 or less since they didn't all stay down)

L: 1/2 mini pizza (no crust to thick and bready)

Digorno-gonna look up calories I am think 500 or so

Frozen lemonade (130 calories)

D: Salad with cheese, sunflower seeds, cucumbers (300 or less??) out to eat with michaela -Ufood my favorite organic resterant

S: wheat thins (140)

Not the best food day for me I admit. I might have some rasberries but I hope I can save the for tomorrow I feel heavy like I ate to much today!!

Christine, What is the name of that arms video you do?

Well we figured out at about 6 why they didn't call us, its a holiday to them. They already dont work all day on fridays. So i kept my family down for why???:eek: I hope we hear something on monday, how long would you wait to call????

SOOO..

I didnt get a workout in today i spent 2 hours at walmart...

Well i made a list and i stuck to it, so proud:D OK, so we got... a bed. Here is why mike told me that she was tryin to get out, and im the non believer well when i went in to get her i saw my darling child half way over her crib.. so then when i was at wally i was asking all the moms lol yes im social bumblebee sometimes.. and they all said around 19/20 months is when they transfered... They said yeah its hard emotionally and everything but its dangerous at a point, they said a lot of people just pull the side off her crib and put up the rail (we dont have that) so we got her this adorable lil bed ill take a picture when mikes done building it:D Its soo bittersweet i hate her growing up but i know that if i try to hold her down its not good either. So we shall see how this works out.

Well what else, i bought all 4 flavors of laughing cow cheese lol i love that stuff... oh and i bought......

Cheeze its................ i am testing myself! We shall see how i can do.

Tina i told ya girl you were in 16s!!!! Remember the pants at the meeting??

When are you girls gonna believe me:D:D

I gotta cuddle someone till shes ready for bed.... ttys

Oh Nicole careful with the cheez its!! I bought more wheat thins and it is a struggle to eat the right amount!! With my last fill I can't eat alot of them but they have gotta be the best thing around right now...........that and lentils!!!

I am drinking 1/2 crystal light and half water. Trying to make myself have at last 40 ounces of water before I transfer over he crystal light but I was forgetting to drink all the water and with the CL I always get in my 64ounces and usually twice that.........I am up to 120 tonight!!

YOur right I am a 16 most of the time now!! Weird cause it is only about 8 pounds difference between a 18 and 16......

I miss having a baby around enjoy every minute Nicole.....

Cracker snack tool -

I don't know how you two do your portions with the crackers, nicole & tina, but what I use to do when I was on WW was buy the little snack bags and as soon as I got home I split up the box into the snack bags so I could just grab a bag and not have to worry about the portion anymore. I still do that with my husbands lunches and with my almonds & things like that. I have no willpower or portion control so it's the ONLY thing that worked for me.

Can't wait to see auds little bed :eek: Tina, you're not too old to have another baby :smile2:

LOL!!! No more babies I almost have this one raised!! But they are so cute just so much work!! I am gonna travel once I get my daughter stable and raised. But I do love kids I spend alot of time with them at work!!

Great idea dividing the crackers!! I had to hid the box so to get in I have to get a kitchen chair and get up in the cupboard top shelf!!! I won't do that until the morning I am to lazy!!

I did WW for years and love it. I am guessing we have all done WW?? I still have all the books. I would go back to that but it hard to do with the band but I totally loved WW.

I need to meet up with someone (Heather?) with all these clothes.............I am thinking I will be adding a few 18's in now. I will bag it all up this weekend.

HEATHER--this is the arms video I do.

Amazon.com: The Science of Fitness with Tamilee: I Want Those Arms! [VHS]: Tamilee Webb: Video

It ROCKS!!! I can already see so much more firmness and definition in my arms, it's great. I HIGHLY recommend it. We also have the abs and buns, it's a set and we love them all. The abs and buns are HELLA hard though!

Lol so i had my atm out and ready to buy the dvd, then mike looks over i have everything inputed and i hear "what are you buying now" lol needless to say i guess i have enough workout videos...:smile2:

So i snacked tonight damn it! Atleast its only 50 cals that i snacked on.. but still! I made a quiche the one i mentioned earlier:D And well it looked so mighty tasty that i tried it. Oh well im still down for the day. :eek:

Whats everyones plans for tomorrow?

Oh btw we got her crib broken down:( and her tot bed put up... and she fell asleepon the couch.. like always:) and i put her in her new bed gave her her blankey she woke up i gave her a kiss and we left she was lookin around! Sooo cute, now she is dead asleep..

My daughter loved her toddler bed..........when she would stay in in. We had it all fixed up with Winnie the Pooh stuff.........but she would wander at night!!! :-)

hanging out with friends tomorrow.....problem is that my friend is pretty heavy and loves to eat and go places to eat. I don't' know what to say to her since I am not real comfortable talking to her about he surgery. I just try to eat slow and talk alot so we finish at the same time........just she eats way more than I can.

I tell you my band feels tighter at night and in the morning. I tried to snack but after a couple of bites I knew it was totally a no go...........one more bite syndrome!! My band is talking to me tonight..........roaring at me actually!! :-) Did I mention I love that my band is helping me out!! I am loving my band now that I have some restriction!!

Riley your right I think it might be getting tighter at the week goes on. I definetely feel it.

Going to bed..........

Nicole I won't tell you what I wanted to snack on but it MIGHT be crunchy and square shaped!!! ;-P
