1.6 pounds

Purple is the color for today because I lost 1.6 pounds. I realized after writing down what I eat, that I need to eat more. Yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 bowl lucky charms with milk
Lunch: 1 bowl frosted flakes with milk
Dinner: 2 pcs of quesadilla and 6 chicken wings
Snack: 1/2 root bear

So I don't think that's enough food for my body to lose weight.  Today I'm going to try and do better, even though I've had a 20oz bottle of Pepsi and I have a can of coke here. Soda is never my weakness, but with GERD, oddly enough my stomach wants it from time to time. I can give up tomorrow, but today it's a needed thing.  My stomach questioned the chicken wings at 4 am and was not a happy camper.

So Deb has 3 stickers now from WW. I have major sticker envy.  We did realize that everytime we go we gain or lose at least .2 pounds. It is as if their scales are programmed to always fall at .2.  I find that odd.  

This LapBand eating is going to be a challenge. I'm worried about the liquid phase. However, I would like to lose 15 pounds before Florida LOL ahh to dream.

4 Ounces

Yesterday I found out that in  a week I lost four ounces. What exactly is four ounces. Well it's half a glass of milk. One of those small milk carton's from school, but it's not much.  Deb, somehow in her wisdom gained 4 pounds back she lost last week. So they gave her a 5 pound sticker last week and this week she technically had to give her sticker back. Stupid stickers. I never get one. I told her when we get the band, to find ways to reward ourselves. Stickers might work. It worked for my 3 year old niece when she was potty training.  So the scales are still not in sync. My scale at home says one thing and the WW scale says another.  Either way they are all liars.  I hate scales. We were able to cancel our WW monthly pass because we did our six months of service.  That saves another $80 a month!  

So we are weeks away from the final approval.
