I'll vote for Friday. I used to weigh in on Mondays so that I had to be good during the weekend so I didn't overeat and gain during a weekend :)

LOOK!!!! We made it to page 14 finally!!!!! LOL

Thanks Cass and Tink. I'm pretty excited as well. Found out last night that my adopted dad met with his doctor yesterday and he will need to lose 20 lbs, but should be hearing from the surgeon's office soon. He said that they were short on people wanting the surgery so there are a lot of openings? This being due to the…

Where has everyone gone to??? Update: So I got a call from the surgeon yesterday, and I go to the seminar next Thurs evening. At the seminar I will receive a lengthy application and once it is turned in, the surgeon's office will review it and decide if surgery is the best option for me. Once that decision is made, I will…

Good morning! Since school started back for my boy I've been able to get some things done that needed to be done. Once everything is how it should be I can get back into my old routine. Wake up, get him off to school, make healthy breakfast, go for long walk, do wall pushups, aeobic step, healthy lunch, then sit back and…

I haven't heard from the surgeon, so I called my doctor's office. The nurse said they are waiting on the prior authorization from my insurance (which won't be a problem) and then will be faxing my information over to the surgeon. She said if I do not hear anything in one week to call her back. The authorization should be…

It's the first day of school!!!! Woohoooo!!! My son is ready to get to school and have a great year! I like to have cans of fruit, they have the fruit in 100% juice and the fruit in light syrup. I prefer the juice. I noticed that Dole or DelMonte also has small 100 calorie fruit cans. I do this because fresh fruit will go…

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and congrats on graduating. My celebratory weekend is over and it is time to get back on track. And tomorrow when my son goes back to school I can get back on track with my walking every day :)

Thanks. What I actually did was get single pieces of cake. One for me and one for my son that way there is no leftovers at all :) The temptation would've been too huge had I gotten a whole cake. :)

Thank you! Well my son and I were at the store, and we looked at the cakes. I decided against buying a whole cake and opted for the individual slices instead. So we each got one slice. And then they had my weakness: pumpkin cheesecake. So, we got one to split. Oh and Dutch Bros gives free coffee on your birthday, another…

Ok, so today I am doing a no-no. It's my special day, my birthday, and I am going to have a small piece of cake in celebration that it is my birthday and tomorrow I will be completely finished with school. I have been going for 5 1/2 years and will finally be done! It is unlikely that I will go back to get a doctorate…

I have bought him sketchers once and it was difficult because he has wide feet and is very picky about his shoes. He has sensory issues and if there is one small thing bothering him it can ruin his day. If the shoe fits snug he cannot wear them. We did find some shoes at wal mart for $12. He is in that transitioning size…

Good morning! Omg it has been crazy. This is my last week of school and then I amk done officially on Monday! Five and one-half years and I cannot believe I am really going to be done!! But it was all worth it. Now to find a job in my field, ugh. With the end of my school here and my son starting back next week, it has…

Hey, just checking in. Been really busy. Not doing so well with exercise, but trying to eat right. Gotta get back to work...

Happy Caturday! Last night was my son's first night away from me in over 3 years, and his very first sleep over with a friend. Luckily, it was a neighbor so he was not too far away, but I was stressed all night. My son sleep walks and has nightmares. I had to get sensors on the doors because he will wander outside while…

Oh goodness what a day. I went to a friend's yesterday and today to help her clean house, mainly the kids' bedrooms. Spent about an hour cleaning. The rooms were upstairs so I was up and down the stairs. My knees are killing me, but when we got home, my son and I went in and started cleaning his room. I know I am going to…

I just got home from the doctor's office. He walked in and I said I wanted to have the surgery, he laughed and I didn't stop. I said that I have watched videos, have read lots of information. I told him that I knew people who were getting it done. I said that I knew the possible side affects and that I was okay with it. He…

Ahhh Monday monday monday... So did not do good this weekend on food. Trying to get better. I have my dr appt tomorrow to talk with him about the lap band surgery. I was reading about it and some people talk about fast solutions, but its really not. I read you lose 3-4 lbs a week for the first 6 months to year. I can…

I found this that sounds really good and likes to splurge and have a drink every now and then: http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=2107

I have been craving nachos. Anyone have a good easy, healthy recipe for nachos that I can subsitute for nachos with beans, cheese, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and guac?

Ok so I'm a little frustrated. I have the Wii EA Sports Active and the more workouts and the Biggest Loser for the Wii. Well, my Wii broke. I am suppose to send it in with $85 and wait 3 weeks for it to get fixed. Problem is, I don't have $85 right now because I am a struggling single mom/student. So, I need to come up…

Ahhhh the end of the day is here. It was a rough one. We were so tired when we got home last night I completely forgot to give my son his medication and boy could I tell it today. He was talking about 100 mph and so loud I am sure the people at the end of the street could hear him. He was bouncing off the ceilings.…

Hello. Ahhh today I am cleaning house Woohooo!!! Well not really woohoo but trying to get motivated. I've had yucky allergies all week so I have not really wanted to do much. Tonight I am bbq'ng. Making simple burgers and hot dogs, but I always grill a ton of veggies. There is just something about the taste of fresh…

I'm a little excited and a little nervous. I have a dr appt Tuesday afternoon to talk with my doctor about weight loss surgery. I am debating on if he is not willing to let me have the surgery on if I want to change doctors. I really like this doctor though. He is so nice and has actually listened to me on everything but…

My favorite healthy meal is a breakfast meal, but I make it for lunch or dinner. I spray my skillet with Pam. Then I sautee mushrooms and onions. I add 1/2 cup egg whites and scramble with the veggies. Then I top with a couple of tablespoons of shredded cheese. I toast one english muffin and do not put butter on it. It's…

So I've been trying to convince my dr to let me get the weight loss surgery and he kept telling me I could do it on my own and that my insurance did not cover it. I have been overweight since before kindergarten. My parents were overweight and my dad's mom was too. A lot of people on both sides of my family are overweight.…

I'd like to join. I still have a lot to lose (about 180-190) and right now I could use the support.

Ok, so the past couple of days I have been walking more. Monday I ended up walking a little over 4 miles. Yesterday was about 2 miles. Hopefully I can get some more in today. Water is doing good. Food was good until late night snacking happened :mad: I have totally slacked on the other challenges: pushups, etc. :angry:…

Ahhh it's been one heck of a week. I was good on water, okay on food, bad on exercises. Unfortunately, I developed a blocked sweat gland and it is painful to move my left arm because of where it is located. Dr put me on antibiotics so hopefully soon, I can pick up on the situps and pushups. Yesterday I did 25 lunges and…

25 pushups 25 sit-ups 50 lunges - knee started hurting at 40 but I pushed through for the remaining 10. I may only be able to do the lunges every other day. Fruit and veggies- 4 water- 12 so far...
