Well I guess I am the winner I gained 5 pounds. I like to think some of it is muscle because I actually went down in the pant size but I knew that is not the case. I have to work extra hard in december talents thank you larry for all your help and I actually bought her a month of a lessons 2 days a week half hour each session!!!!!! Amy

larry... thank you for the info of the uke... here is what I got..Rogue mahogany uke a bag pitch pipe chord guide tuning inst and xtra martin strings and 2 year protection from a music web site free shipping for 39.99.... thank you !!!! Amy

I too have had many surgeries..2 c-sections PAINFUL and took weeks to heal. then i had a gull bladder that the incision goes accross my whole body was in the hospitial for 3 weeks with that. total hystoectomy emergency and that took 2 months to heal... so when my family heard i was chosing to go thru this they were scared to death... my pastor even talked to me ... i was in there for 2 days only because my bp was way out of control but besides the gas pain in the shoulder area i was fine... gas x for the tounge and I was good to go .... almost one year out and I would do it again in a heart beat !!

hello... i cant belive how crazy it has become with the holidays... i havnt been on here but I have been keeping up my miles!! hope everyone is good !! i didnt get to do the big parade in philly... i hurt my arm real bad dr said no can do... but I did walk on turkey day and then black fri i got in many miles.. between parking at the malls and stores and walking all of them ... then if that wasnt enough i went down to the beach last night and did a 2 hr hike on the beach..... then today i am sore but got up and did 5 miles... the day is early Amy

Amy checking in.. I am still the same 210. I think it is now stress... I do have a question for larry...for a first time ukulele what brand is a ok one to start with ? my 14 year old asked for one for Christmas and I found a music teacher for her.... crazy i thought she would have asked for a lap top or something go figure ?!?!? she is a diffrent type of kid so i shouldnt have been so suprised....thanks larry any in put would be helpful

I worked in the medical field and I left the job one week before my surgery. i dont keep in touch with any of my co workers. last night at the mall a lady came up to my daughter and said 'are you Paige?" she looked at me and said yes. she said i worked with your mom could you please tell her to call me. my daughter started to laugh and said shes right here... the co worker looked at me and just jaw hit the ground ! all i could do was smile this morning I get up to 6 e-mails from old co workes wanting to know what I did.... if that wasnt enough to make me beam thru the mall i went into a store hot topic *punk* store to pick up Christmas presents and they had skinny jeans snake skin print on clearence..so i tried them on in a size 12 they fit with room to give so I put on an 11 !!!!!!!!!!! my daughter cried NOOOOO you cant wear cool clothes !! I LOVE my band <3<3<3 Amy

Amy checking in.. 210 still i dont get what is up but I am hoping by next week it will just fall off... i am going to the doc to see if my calorie intake is right with all the working out I am doing ... thanks larry Amy
