Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

John-Happy New Year! I can't wait to meet you. As I admire your faith in the "process" and ability to hang with this crazy bunch. LOL.... Your turn is coming. Yes, Bridezilla is total craziness!!! You would not believe some of the BS these women demand, expect and do for their weddings... I chose the no frills way-out...Contrary to popular belief...most of us would never act that way!!!! Enjoy........You will if nothing else, get a good laugh.

Monique – Depending on traffic I'll be there around 10 for a 10:30 appointment and will look out for you! I think your appointment is around 9am. We might miss each other.

Thanks ladies for the kind words! I’m determined but it sometimes is hard as the process is not easy…

John-I hope to be gone by 10am. My appt with Robin is at 8:30am and with Dr Fisher at 9:00am. A fill better not take that long.....I will catch you next time. Good luck with your appt. Be sure to keep us posted.

Good Luck John deserve it!!! I cant wait to hear what happens...

SO Jes, those levis.... OMG guess what... They are the exact same style as the ones I gave to Tamra!!! They really are my new favorite jeans. I can get them on and button them, still a little tight but I think within the last 9 lbs I will be in them!! YAY.....

Going to Costco today to get my protein drinks... Im excited!!!

Have a good day everyone!!

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW JOHN! I will be tuning in all day waiting to hear the outcome! Be firm with Doc Who!

Bridezilla is too crazy - I can't watch it because I get way too annoyed with those women

Monique - I, too, took the no frills way - Cloud 9 wedding chapel in Tahoe with about 15 people total! The total cost - including the room & dress was under $1,000.00 and we had a blast! We were already living together for 3 years so.... I really just want to know when the whole institute of marriage became such a show out - like just showing off for people! What happened to romance and intimacy??

Oh, Bridezilla aka: Hitler has never worn her body magic and has decided to sell it - any takers - it's a size 34 & it's the strapless one so it's beige color (the only color it comes it)

Jes - I will make that call tomorrow

I am so tired but I just can't sleep - for the last two nights I got about 3hrs per! So, there is some real truth to this cravings thing - I want a cinabon really bad right now - out of nowhere and it's because I'm so tired!

hmmm my port is hurting today out of nowhere. Almost like your cinabon thing. I think its my underwire. Last night I had a craving and yes i gave in...I baked 3 sugar cookies. I'm almost out of all the christmas sweets, I can't wait.

ummmmm....Cinabon!!!! Sounds good....I want one...Why do I feel like I eat way more than you all....

I have to confess. I ate a slice....slither of a slice of Nations Cheesecake last night after dinner. It sure was good. I got to get that thing out of here...Still half left.

Candra-are you calling for an appt??? Please do...Put the fire under Dr Who!!!

Canolie-congrats on the jeans... Isn't it great when someone can use something you can't?

testing my photo adding skills...........

Nice pics! If I'd known there was a bar stop I would have canceled my plans.

Good Luck tomorrow John - be assertive if you need to.

My food for today: br 1 Premier protein drink - 160 cal, lunch 1 Snickers protein bar 210 cal, dinner 1/2 cup tuna w/ mayo,pickles,celery and 5 Club crackers, 5 Red Vines. I am done for the day. I was down a pound today - now only 4 more to go to get back to where I was before the holidays.

I finally got all the laundry done and the downstairs bathroom scrubbed from top to bottom. Also helped my 15 yr old son go through his shirt closet and put in Wonder Hangers - that boy has close to 70 shirts. I was able to pull about 10 out to keep for a yard sale. He doesn't have a full sized closet as he sleeps in the bonus room that doesn't have a closet.

Any of you seen "Julie & Julia"? I watched it on Netflix today and really liked it.

Hi all,

I ended up eating bad!

Breakfast - 1 Venti Decaf Latte and 3 Turkey Sausage

Lunch - 1 low carb tortillia with cheese

Snack - bottle mocha lite

Snack again - here's where it happened. a small bag of chips and salsa. Then came home and had a handful of doritos.

So do I stop there? OF COUSE NOT

Dinner - large mcdonalds quarter pounder meal. 2 cookies.

I feel SOOOO SICK to my stomach, why do I keep doing this to myself??? I am drinking water now trying to flush it out...yuck.

Got my treadmill today too! $75 bucks. Not bad. I lasted 7 mins on it??? why do they seem harder @ home next to walking outside? I will slowly get into it. Goal tomorrow is 30 mins.

Good luck tomorrow John!!!!!

OMG Nicollie and I have exactly 9 lbs to go!! I think we may do this together! yay!! look out world here we come!!

I want to be calling Richmond Feb 1 like "I am at my goal" and I want my surgery in March lol.

Yea Tamra you can do it. It would be so cool if you had a buddy like me and Candra. Don;t worry about your meal, reporting it here is a step in the right direction.

I fixed a small pot of gumbo tonight I didn't have rice in my bowl so it was all protein. Sure was good.

Pam we rented Julie Julia for our slumber party, I think we turned it on in the middle of the night and I fell a sleep on it but I still want to see it.

I'm glad I'm taking tomorrow off I can get myself organized for the week and plan my meals...like I couldn't have done it in the last 2 weeks.

Oh, my boys will be 21 on Thursday, they want to go to happy hour. Wonder where they get that from? I'm officially old.
