Rosie - If it is not to personal how long has it been since you had bypass surgery?
Monet - I pray that Tom gets the job.
Solly - Enjoy the dance.
Gym - The scale will start moving soon jut stay with it.
Well I have to go have a good day all. Howdy to anyone I missed.

techwife: Oh no! A scout leader...a whole van of cookies... I would not survive!!!

Mercee: I had my gastric bypass in Feb 2002. 6 years ago. I was almost at 400lbs (dont know exactly how high I ever got, couldnt weigh at home)when I had it and had totally uncontrolled diabetes on insulin. At 8 months post op I was down to 247 and there I stopped. Since then up and down the same 20 lbs. But still 260 is a whole heck of a lot better than where I was and taking one pill for diabetes is much better than 120 units of insulin daily. I realize I have to use good old fashioned diet & exercise and will power if I want to drop the rest of the weight I want to lose, and Lordy it aint easy.

Well everyone, hello. I am typically not doing SugarBusters, but I found that during Lent I have wandered into something similar. I decided to give up sugar for Lent, so my rules are no added sugar and nothing with sugar (or any form of it) in the first 5 ingredients on the label. So I am into day 2 only and have 38 to go, and surprisingly I havnt been CRAVING any since I dont have it anyway. But I am only in the beginning and I am not really doing it as a "diet" more as a sacrifice (with some good benefits..lol).

I realize I am not doing what you all are, but wanted to pop in and say HI anyways.

I apologize for not being here much this week. Sean and I went to the doctor and he has strep throat and I have an ear infection. Been trying to do good with eating, but not much good for exercising. I've just felt lousy!! The antibiotics are kicking in though and hopefully I can get some rest this weekend! Have a good one!!!

Hey Guys..

Day was good..As thought I am not eating enough..Its 830--I had dinner and I still have points left. Funny. (I used the same menu as I have been. Tomorrow i'll bulk up more during the day, so im not left with as much food needed at night)

As far as the cheerios..I edited my post. I apologize for wrong information, However..It is my understanding that anything legal my not have added sugar of any type. Cheerios, although it's listed as 1g under sugars has SUGAR listed in the ingredients. Maybe im totally off the mark here. Can someone please explain how this is legal?

Happy Friday night, everyone.

I walked about 3/4 mile this morning with the puppies. It felt good to get back out there. I plan to try to walk at least that far each morning for the next couple of weeks, then increase.

We are going on a mini vacation on Thurs.- Sun. so, I am not sure how to stay OP and travel.......visiting relatives which often involves eating out, etc.

I did well with eating today. I think I am like Gym, some days I don't eat enough. Today: B- oatmeal
sn- Chrlgrl's smoothie
L- tuna and 5 triscuits
sn- orange

oops..... not sure what happened, but I posted before I was done LOL

dinner was shrimp and brown rice......... I am stuffed.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I am off to bed as I work early tomorrow.

Goodnight!

Michele

Wow Monet I'm so happy for Tom and you. Thats so great..:carrot:

My Steve comes home today and I'm so happy. I have a nice big roast in the crockpot. Whole Wheat yeast rolls in the bread maker and an Angel food cake in the oven. I've got a ton of things to do yet. Like straighten up the house etc. He should be home a little after 3 today.

Good Morning! I think we all feel better this morning after a good night sleep! I've been on the computer all morning, but now it is time to get busy and actualy do something with my day! Have a great weekend everyone!!

So back from the gym. Did 35 min of heavy weights, stretching and abs for 20 min. Then god my a$$ kicked during cardio boxing. Did some leg work and I was outta there. today was a 2 hour day. Yikes i'll be sore tomorrow!

Monet--Thank you so much for clearing that up. If something has honey listed at the very last ingredent, but has 4 g of sugar thats isn't legal? Im still learning, so again im sorry for posting incorect information. YAY Im happy that Tom accepted the position, that is great. I hope your celebrating this weekend!!

Toni-Enjoy your dinner..That sounds so yummy. I bet your happy for Steve to come home. Nice to have the company back! Enjoy your day!

Thin-Im glad everyone is feeling better. Enjoy the weekend.

DTRM-Enjoy your vacation. Good luck staying on plan. Just keep in mind that its a life long journey and sometimes slip up happnes. Your menu looks yummy

Well the visit to my dentist brought bad news. A root canal I
had done back before Christmas seems to be a dud. It has not
felt right since it was done. It has been checked, rechecked,
x-rayed by both the root canal dentist and my regular dentist
and nothing shows up. This leads them to believe I may have
a fracture deep within the tooth for which there is no help, it
has to be pulled. My dental insurance doesn't pay all that much
so the money I spent on the root canal will be all for nought if
it comes out. I have oral surgery in a few weeks to look at the
tooth and take it out if need be. I am not in any pain because
with the root canal the nerves don't work but my dentist says
there is tissue inflamation and a bit of drainage. Always something
it seems. I am sick of dentists and all the rest of it. Thanks for
letting me vent. My food has been fairly good. A couple of slips
but considering my past eating behavior it's not been that bad. A
good weekend to all. SMW

Hey Everybody!!
 

Just a fly-by to say hello and hope everyone is doing well!

Weighed and measured today... down 1/2 a pound and 2 inches. Not great, but better than a GAIN!

I'm off to get a quick shower and head to a birthday party for our friend's daughter... NO CAKE FOR ME!!!

Have a great OP weekend everyone!! See you Monday!!! :grouphug:
