Bev - LOL and maybe Oprah can lend us her personal chef too (heck, maybe she can lend us Steadman once in a while too!). Then when we get rich and famous you meet your prince charming by going on The Bachelorette! I GOT IT! Forget Phil & Oprah & The Bachelorette - we need to contact EXTREME MAKEOVER!!!!! They'd die for a crew like us. After we lose our 5000 lbs. we probably will need a little work and they'd give it to us for free - and they'd probably pay for our cruise too!!!

I have two protein shakes a day, then one well balanced meal, which is usually dinner, today is was lunch because we went out to eat after church this morning.

I also drink at least 64 oz. of water per day.

I was on this diet in 1997 and lost 60 pounds, but because of three knee surgeries that left me out of work for six months, I had put most of that weight back on. Now I'm determined to take it off again.

 

[O'BWV]

Ginny - I did it, I did it!!!

I am PMing you with the instructions.

I am a big loser and couldn't figure out how to do the banner/ signature even with your instructions. Lindsay did it for me in 1 minute. Maybe Oprah can teach me how to use a computer LOL.

Good morning everyone!

Well so far I'm drinking a cup of tea with Sweet N Low, and Fat Free Half and Half. LOL Robby only ate half of his corn muffin for breakfast, so I'll probably eat the other half, and then that's all until lunch.

I think I'll go food shopping later today so I can stock up on "good" stuff so I won't get too tempted by other stuff. I really haven't had too much "bad" food in the house lately because since we got back from the cruise, I've been trying to have ALL of us cut down. This Cruisin Castaway Diet is just what I needed to get serious about it though!


CV: I can't believe we have over 1000 posts on this thread already. lol

Darlene: How is Stan doing today?? I hope the IV antibiotics will kick in soon and get that infection under control. Please continue to relay our good wishes to him!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!


I just got done reading all the posts from yesterday's breakfast meet. I wish I could have been there!! Doreen filled me in on all the news!!! I am planning on making the next meet wherever it is!!! Just keep me posted!. I am all game for the diet include me in. (how do I get the banner on the bottom)!!! Please help!!!

I go to the Ortho Dr. today. I have a torn lateral miniscus in my knee. I spent all weekend on the sofa with ice(no smoothie though) and the remote control. Got up just to let the dogs outside! Where is my private duty nurse(Doreen) when I need her!!!

Have a magical day!!!!

 

[winnyis]

Good Morning fellow losers.... well I started this morning too.. so far just coffee with FF 1/2 & 1/2 and an english muffin. But stupid me forgot to get on the scale first thing this morning so I will use tomorrows weight as my official starting weight.

Im home today with Connor.. Bob took him to the Dr yesterday while I was at the Dis Breakfast and they gave him an anitbiotic for his ears... well wouldnt you know that gross side effect of Amoxicilin reared its ugly head this morning. That poor kid spent the whole morning in the bathroom. Needless to say I wont be giving him any more of that medication - LOL.

Have a great day

Good morning everyone,

I decided with all your encouragement to start my diet today. I figured I'd go on Atkins so I had only bacon and eggs for breakfast and drinking lots of water. Then my co-worker told me he has the Entertainment Book that expires 11/1 and that we have to go out to lunch everyday this week. Of course, not wanting to hurt his feelings, I agreed. What would you do? So I guess I'll be a seafood diet until 11/1. Whatever food I see, I'll eat. LOL

I will seriously start next week. Have a great day


Bev

 

[sandygirl]

Can someone help me get the banner?

Darlene

 

[sandygirl]

GINNY - Poor Connor! Hope he feels better soon. Tell him Sandy and I say HI!

TERRY - I'll know more (hopefully) later today on what they plan to do with Stan. Last night they had him drink charcoal. Yucky stuff!

KAREN - Don't you think a smoothie would have worked better on that knee than just plain ice?

Darlene

 

[SeaSpray]

Ginny: I also forgot to weigh myself this morning. It gives me a day to maybe lose an ounce before the official weigh-in. LOL

I hope Connor feels better soon. My DSs have had the same side effects from antibiotics, it's no fun, that's for sure. I know sometimes the doctor can give an alternate antibiotic that won't cause the same side effects.

Karen: I hope your knee feels better soon! Let us know what the doctor says. How are you able to get around? Are you hobbling on crutches or just limping? I think you need a strong, handsome male nurse to help you out.

Darlene: Poor Stan! What was the charcoal for? A test? Or was it for medicinal reasons??

Andy: I'm glad you were able to go out and enjoy your Anniversary lunch yesterday! Please pass on "Congrats!" to Hazel

Bev: I would definitely go out to lunch this week, but maybe try and choose items that aren't as "bad" as others. Then you can officially start next week. Enjoy!


P.S. My niece was looking at the pictures on my web site from our breakfast get together, and she thought that Mary Rose's husband's name was REALLY "Bob-John". I had to explain the whole "John, Bob, Mitch, Marty" thing to her. Heheheheeh

 

[kap158]

Just back fro Ortho Dr. He gave me a note to give to my Boss(they are best friends stating that I am overworked and I need a 2 week vacation starting immediately on a Disney Cruise which they should pay for and I should get full pay!!!!) This will make my healing time faster and more enjoyable for me!!!!(yeh right!!)

Terry - Maybe the male nurse could go with me on the cruise!!!

Can someone help me with the diet banner??? Oh Please????

The Dr. said it is a torn lateral miniscus( He is cute but of course unavailable) Has me starting on PT 3 times a week for 3 weeks and if that doesn't help the next step is doing a scope. I asked him if we could skip the pt and go directly to the cruise with a male nurse!!! He laughed!!!(I don't know why????)

Or maybe tonite when I get home I'll make a couple smoothies and the pain will go away!!!! ( Is a smoothie a freebie on our diet???)

Evening Guys and Gals,

SAWYERMAW1 welcome to the dis meets thread. You will have a great time on here, everybody is very friendly. Let us know a bit about you and your family. I live in Wales UK in realality, but in my mind I live aboard the MAGIC, and I think I am the only one so far who lives abroad so to speak. I will be travelling with my daughter who is 14 at present but who will be celebrating her 16th birthday onboard. There are loads of us bringing children of all ages along. Great to have you onboard.

Ok sign me up for the diet. I lost 2 stone last year, but as always happens most of it has gone back on. This just may be the encouragment I need to lose it again. Is today the official weigh in day, and how are we going to chart our progress?

Sue

The charcoal was used to determine if there was a leak from the colon. It traveled the digestive tract and when it also showed up in the drain from the abcess that told them that the colon had a breach. Not good news. It sounds so simple, really, but it worked. They are trying very hard not to do the surgery over again. They are keeping him in the hospital on a clear liquid diet, IV antibiotics, and hoping that the breach in the colon repairs itself. If not, they will operate. I feel so helpless in all this.

Terry, I can't remember where to look for your pictures. I'd love to see them.

Darlene
