I've been on a kick lately of staying up till 1:30am. I always think...why am I doing that. But, I think the body just does what it feels like doing and I didn't need as much sleep. I have a friend who let me borrow her book "Heroine Diaries" by Nikki Sixx. Man...he is a sick and twisted man. I was reading it because I do like Motley Crue...but...I didn't realize it would be that sick! I'll finish the book here in just a few minutes and then get back to my "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2". Those are really cute books. Anyone else like to read? I'm going to start that as a post and see who's reading what! Tonja

Topic: RE: Socializing and Eating

Launa...you remind me of myself. I remember I finally had to tell my hubby to leave me alone while I was eating. He is very lovie dovie. It seemed like every single time he would try to touch me like patting my back or hugging me while I was eating I would get stuck. I finally told him that he was just going to have to stop it while I was eating. As far as talking while eating. It's slowing down on the eating...putting the eating utensil down...talking. That's why I love going out to eat and trying to socialize. It's like a game for me now. One of these days maybe we OKC folks can head your direction to meet up. It would be great to meet you! Tonja

Today is the day. My goal is to get as close to 100 ounces of water as I can. I will post tonight before bed or tomorrow morning on how it goes. Who is up for joining me? Tonja

Topic: RE: Socializing and Eating

I'd love it. I don't have the ability to travel to do it though. Really the amount of time I get out of the house away from the kids is limited. I have gotten to meet Laurell for coffee and my hubby has taken me to dinner twice. My biggest problem is that with all the chewing, how do you talk??? I get so mad if DH asks me a question while I'm trying to chew my food to liquid. I can't respond or it'll fly out of my mouth. It would also be gross.

I accept the 80oz a day water challenge. I need more water anyway. I also suggest the winner gets a free waterbuffalo. Man, I need some sleep.

Topic: Water Challenge!

As many of you know and a lot of you will learn...Water is one of the most important keys to helping us stay hydrated and getting the weight to fall off. I really like short term challenges because it seems like the end is easier to obtain. So, I would like to start our first official WATER CHALLENGE on this board. It will start tomorrow (Monday, January 6th and run through Sunday, January 13th). I would encourage everyone to try to get in 80 plus ounces of water each day. This is a challenge that you can do whether you are pre-op or post-op. Please come here each day and post your water intake. It would be great if we could all get to 100 ounces of water each day and...think of how your body will thank you and...how the pounds will drop off. Who's game? Tonja

Topic: RE: Checking In

I really like your idea of a challenge of some sort. I think one of the most positive challenges we could do would be a water intake challenge. Possibly see who can do 80 oz per day or more. I like doing short term challenges so I think we could start it tomorrow and end it on Sunday. Just a one week challenge. What do you think? How have you been doing? I hope you are doing awesome! Please tell your mom that I say HELLO! I'm looking forward to getting together with everyone soon! Tonja

Topic: Checking In

Hi everyone. Just checking in for the first time and I'm anxious to see this work. I'm hoping this will be a positive site and as well as one that is motivating for those of us having to lose weight prior to surgery. I'm still around 18 pounds away for getting a date and I can feel my motivation dwindling. I have re-read my reasons and that has helped to pump me up and I'm getting excited about my new exercise videos coming in this next week so I'm hoping that well get me back in the "losing" game. Another thing I would like to see is perhaps some type of challenge whether is is exercise, weight loss, or water intake. I seem to have discovered a competitive side to myself lately. It usually helps me to keep focused. I'm hoping to get this weight off this month so I can have my surgery next month. I would also be interested in getting together again soon. Take care.
