Topic: RE: Smarties - A Confession
HEY SMARTIE GIRL lol! I have been on a carb thing this last week. My weight is holding steady at 136 (my personal goal is 132, so of course, I stop right before that lol). I have been eating wheat thins and saltines with the ICANNOTBELIEVEITISNOTBUTTER spray on it. I crave it constantly. Who knows why we crave what we do? I try to eat mostly wheat thins so at least they help me go potty lol. I go see my Dr. tomorrow and I am PRAYING my insurance pays to let me remove this skin. I am having LOTS of rashes, itchy, yucky! Anyway, do not feel alone. Have a great week my friend!
Topic: Smarties - A Confession
Ok, I must confess - i have a new addiction.

I'm sure I'm not alone out there. Maybe you are like me. While I still make sure I get in my protien, I have developed a craving for something I know I shouldn't. Someone gave me one of those little rolls of circle candies wrapped in a little roll called Smarties. Remember these?
I have been having 4-6 a day for the past week. The good news is, they are only 25 calories per roll, bad news is, it has no value what so ever in my diet.
Overall I have been good, and I'm still losing 1-2lbs a week. But I know these suckers are no good for me.
Plus lately I have been feeling the snacking bug. I try and stick to 100 calorie packs if I cave in. I'm pretty sure on my bad days i'm still sticking to no more than 1000 calories. But I do know that I must regain my control on this piece. It hasn't helped that i've been on vacation this week.
Monday is a new day - back to being a good girl again. 
thanks for listening.

Topic: RE: anyone hear about TRICARE denying skin removal surgeries starting about two weeks ago?
Hi Kathleen, I don't really know anything about insurance coverage in the US but I have heard that you need to document the problems you have. Take pictures and keep track of the number of infections. Ask your doctor to send letters etc. Hope everything goes ok.

Way to go Donna. It's really a shock for those who haven't seen us in a while. It makes the change really dramatic....I love it. Fran
Topic: RE: C'mon fellow August losers...
I'm here too Brenda. I check the board every couple of days. I need contact with others who are at the same stage as me. It seems like we all have the same or similar habits and concerns. I want this weight loss to stick and I am afraid when I read about others who have had this surgery and are putting on weight. I need a group to be accountable to. Thanks for being here for all of us.
