Hi Ladies! Congrats to everyone who lost this week! Angie you go girl! 220's you better watch out, ANGIE is coming!!!! I did not move again this week at all, I think my scale is STUCK on 181.8. I decided yesterday to try something a little out of my comfort zone, I tried to eat MORE food. I ate what I call ALOT yesterday. Breafast I tried to eat a Banana but it was not working to well, so I ate half, drank some coffee a bit later and then ate 6 whole wheat crackers with a slice of cheese. Lunch I went to MEXICAN food and ate a side of beans, (which was a good cup) with Ranch, yes RANCH dressing (LOADED WITH FAT!). I would get a spoon of beans and then dip it in RANCH! YUMMO! I ate the WHOLE thing. The I had a few chips with Caso, cant do chips and dip to well anymore (THANK YOU JESUS!). THEN when I left there I stopped by my FAV 8 caloires per ounce YOGURT store and got me some Peanut Butter Yogurt, another YUMMO! ohh yeah it had Reese on top! Then I went the rest of the day until dinner drinking water. When I got home, did not feel hungry at all and so I drank a protien shake for the calories. GUESS WHAT! I stepped on the scales and I weighed 181.4...lol I know it could be water, etcc but I thought that was really weird, maybe I just need to EAT??? That sounds SO weird to say!

I agree AWESOME POST!!!! Thank you!

Angie is our Momma Goddess! Thank you girl, this was pretty cool!

Thank you Miss Angie!! I had to cut some of my neck off, I looked like a Giraffe !!

Penelope! When I came home from surgery, I had to sip sip sip but after a while I got where I could drink liquids fine. Everyone is so different. I have a pretty tight fill right now and I still dont have problems with liquids, only right after a fill, for a couple of days, do I have to be careful and sip. I however still try not to drink to fast as I hear liquids can stretch your pouch as well! Good Luck to you! Carrie

I had to share this with everyone. I dont know why I have not thought about this but this morning I was making my coffee and I decided to use about 1/4 scoop of my Choc protien powder, my sugar free french vanilla creamer and two splendas...WOW it almmost taste like Hot Chocolate! YUMMO! Plus im getting extra protien in! You should try this!

Kristy you are AWESOME! I can only dream of getting that little!!! You are doing and looking AB SO LUT LEY AMAZING!!!!! I am so happy for you and Congrats on those 130's! YOU ARE THERE!!!! Thanks for the info, posted back to you in the other post! Carrie

Kristy it is SO funny how you posted this and I think you are CORRECT!!!. Hubby and I were discussing this last night. The number on the scale does not seem to move for me much, however since starting back "hard" working out with him two weeks ago, I know I am loosing inches. This week I have looked at the tags in my pants twice to make sure I did not get them mixed up with my size 12 jeans because my size 10 Jeans are getting loose in the hips and butt and these are starched! My starched Jeans ALWAYS fit tight when I put them on, not this week at all!! Yeahhh for Inches!!! LOL Carrie

Good Morning Everyone! I think I have had one of the BEST Breakfast mornings EVER..... I had TOMATO PIE! YUUMMMOOO!!! Debbie, this is GREAT, Now I know why you eat it all the time! Thank you (bowing head and hands) Thank you Thank you!!! B- Tomato Pie L- Tomato Pie..lol D- TDB...Im going to try not to have Tomato Pie, but I might...lol

Hi Debbie! I would LOVE to take the entire summer but my boss would kill me...lol I was SHOCKED that he agreed to let me take two weeks in a row! He has been really supportive with all of this, pretty lucky about that. He is one of those who thinks, get you butt out and run if you wanna loose weight...lol Hes been GREAT! The 6 hours does include both procedures. I will have to go a week before and make my final decision about my ladies..lol. I will keep you posted at all times Miss Debbie! I dont mind at all.... Thanks for all of the support everyone has shown! Love you guys Carrie, Debbie I made your Pie last night!!!! Cant wait to sink my teethies into this morning!!!

Hey Ladies, Well I am still holding at my 181, but I think Im loosing inches right now, lets hope anyway! My pants are getting looser in the hips!! Congrats to all the Losers this week! Carrie

One more thing I forgot to answer for Sabrina and Debbie....My Doc said it is going to be around a 6 hour surgery and that he has had patients go back to work with a week to week and half, NO THANK YOU.lol...Im taking 2 weeks off!

Thanks Ladies! Everyone is so great and supporative and I could not do it without YAll!!! I have been researching Doc for a while now and I just could not get the courage to go back to Mexico and have to stay there by myself for that long. I chose a Doctor local, his name is Dr. Wittpen. During my consult he explain EVERYTHING to me and really listened to what I had to say and what I wanted. I remember Lisa telling me to ask questions and express what I wanted, like keeping some curves and not being straight. The one thing that I did learn was that I was unclear about a EXT TT....I knew that they cut you more around but they also (my doc anyway) also cuts you up. This allows him to get my "first roll" flat and not leave it kind puchie like it would by just having the reg TT. I have too much of a roll from side to side above my belly button tonot have the EXT TT. I am so getting the Breast lift with Implants and yes all at the same tine. I want it done and over a. Kinda scary to me to go back. The price is really not as bad ass I thought it was going to be. I am going to pay 11,5010.00 for everything, and this include a 4 day pain pump. The word pain pump scares me to death! Anyway Ohh and I also learned that i where I live not sure about anywhere else, they have stopped using drain tubes...I ask ALOT of questions about that one. He said that it has loweed the infection rate....... Anyway ThThanks again everyone and I will keep yall poswted!.. One more thing....He showed me if I was to just get the lift, my girls would be a B size. I am a D right now but ALL of my roundness is underneath, no roundness on top. This will put them back in place and put the roundness back on top. I still will be a good D, but all the way round D...HUGE difference!!!Thanks Again Everyone Does ANYONE know how to fix my screen, I have a section where I can not see what I am typing as you can see the "bad as" and the price is 11, 500.00 is misspelled and I cant see to correct it..Driving me CRAZY!!

Hi Everyone! I had my Plastic Surgery Consult yesterday and I am booking on MONDAY!!! I am having my surgery March 9th local! I am having an Ext TT and Breast Lift with Implants. The staff and the Doc was WONDERFUL!! I am VERY scared about it, I guess because it is SO close!!!! The Doc said he wants his patients 20lbs from Goal, I am 27, so I am going to work really hard to get those 7 off before March! Carrie

VERY WELL SAID VICKI!!!

Hi Heather, sounds like you found the Band Gods...ohhh yes I have prayed to them many times...lol Rice has never given me any problems but have ALOT of others. I agree with what Shelby said as well...I was getting stuck ALOT at lunch and FINALLY figured out I CAN NOT eat food that has been reheated. I have even tried chicken with BBQ sauce and nope not if it is reheated. You did good with the liquids. Welcome to the Journey, this wont be your last, you will learn what you can and what you will RUN from...lol...I know I am STILL learing... Good Luck to you! Carrie

I would like to say WOW what a post!!!! I think you have just taken the first step of bandland!!!! That is truely AMAZING that you can be that honest with yourself. You are already facing what alot of us are still trying to figure out including myself! I will say I am a little over a year out and it is still a struggle with myself. I STILL am VERY VERY insecure with my body and still do hide myself alot. My Hubby gets understands and is SO supportive and tells me all the time..I AM YOUR HUSBAND...lol....This Journey has been a DAILY battle for myself anyway. I will be straight up honest and say that I thought it was going to be easy and I was SO very wrong. It truely is the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. It consumes me daily. I have tried to not let this happen and live my life but its hard. I constantly think about my weight and what I am going to eat next time it is time to eat. Its hard not think about it but It is the BEST thing I have ever done for MYSELF!. I am a much more happier person, HEALTHIER person, fit person now. I have not only changed my lifestyle but my Husband and kids have changed theirs as well. It has been GREAT for my entire family!!!! My hubby and I challenge each other and SUPPORT each other with everything we do now, we CARE about ourselves now, thats sounds really funny but very sadly true!

I have worked my BUTT off working out with Hubby the past seven days and it has REALLY paid off. I knew it was going to be a good weigh in, kinda weird how you can just feel it......I have learned one thing, I am going to have to do my part and W.O.R.K. hard. I think I found my motivation....Thank goodness!! Good luck to everyone else and I cant wait to see how everytone did. I agree with Shelby, I think it is going to be a great weigh in this week..Yahhhhhh... ps...I will be weighing again on Monday morning. I started a goal last week to be at 179.9 by Monday Morning. My PS Consult is Monday afternoon and would LOVE to go to it being OUT of the 180s...been there WAY to long! Carrie
