Good Morning Y'all! The leaves are all falling off the trees, and I guess I have to believe winter is right around the corner. I am not looking forward to that at all! Yesterday we had a front go through and it had some really high winds. Needless to say a ton of leaves went right into the pool. I was lucky to get home when I did as I didn't want it to burn up the motor from getting stopped up. I actually had to pry the leaves out of the skimmer. Then I tried to get some off the bottom and after about 10 or 15 pool sweeper bags, my new girls let me know I shouldn't be doing that. I ended up turning off the pool and I am just going to let DH do it this weekend. I am glad the election is over and things can get back to normal. I was sick of all the bull crap and all the commercials. they need to take all the money they spend on ads and flights etc. and help out the people. What a waste of money! Well, going to post this before I lose it again.

I just lost my really long post, so now all I am going to say is: "Happy Birthday" Diane. Dang I am so mad I can't type!

Hello Y'all! Just sticking my head in to say hello. I am busy doing chores as I didn't get them done yesterday. I ran around all day and now I am paying for it. lol Friday I won the best costume at work! It was fun! It is 85 here today, hot for November, but I will take every minute of it. What's everyone doing today?

Darcy, You sound like you are doing great with it, I was wondering if it was worth it because according to a mayo doctor the said this: How much weight could I lose using Alli? Alli can help you lose weight, but the weight loss likely won't be great — perhaps just a few pounds more than you would lose with diet and exercise alone. Only a small number of studies have evaluated the effectiveness of Alli. And many of the weight-loss estimates are based on studies conducted on its prescription-strength counterpart, Xenical. The average weight loss for prescription-strength Xenical is modest — about 6 pounds greater than diet and exercise alone after one year. So at half the strength, Alli could conceivably result in an average of 3 pounds lost in a year in addition to the approximately 8 pounds you could expect to lose from diet and exercise alone. I was just wondering if you have changed the way you are eating also and if you are doing exercises with it too? I just figured 8 pounds in a year just wasn't worth the money spent on it. But if you lose more than that as in your example it might be worth it. Although every other diet pill I ever took as soon as you stop taking it you gain it all back again. So, I am not sure I want to start one again if that is the way it will work and I sure don't want to take it for life. I thought with your nursing background you might be able to answer me with some of my questions.

Happy Hallowinnie! Only got a minute but wanted to say hello. We are having a costume day at work so I have to get ready. I wasn't going to dress up but everyone kept say just come as a Harley chick. So guess I can do that one. I am going to wear a doo rag, and boots, a leather vest, my new coat, and some leather leg protectors. I also have a harley bracelet that I got years ago and never wore. I might put that one on too. Since I cut my hair, none of my hair things will work though. When I get home we will have the bbq and block party. I am glad it's Friday and I won't have to work the next day. Dang I started sneezing and almost lost this post. time to get dressed, catch you all later! Don't let the goblins get you tonight!

Good Morning Y'all! Didn't see one going so I started one. I'm going to get my shower then if I have time, I'll be back!

Good Morning Y'all! I was cold here yesterday, and last night I actually turned on the heat for the night. I will get to turn it off again as it is warming back up again. I hate cold weather as you all know! We block the street off BBQ and have adult beverages while the kids come up and trick or treat. It saves them lots of steps of going to each door and we enjoy the evening as well. It's a lot of fun, and we look forward to it each year. I am pretty much healed up now, but I will probably never be normal! lol I am happy with the results and get lots of compliments on the weight I lost. lol I actually gained some so it is just the boob job that makes you look thinner. I need to get back to basics with the eating, I have a fill and still eat and drink all the wrong stuff. I ate Mexican 3 days and gained 5 pounds. Yikes! It just worked out that way, it wasn't planned to go 3 times. I don't have time to address everyone this morning, I have to get dressed and out the door. Like Kat, I didn't want the monkeys after me! I wish I could just go back and lounge around the day away, but can't do that. Catch you all later! Watch out for the Halloween candy! It will get you every time!

SNOW? DID YOU SAY SNOW???? Now I am cold! It warmed up nice here but now I saw that I am freezing. No snow for me! Give me the 100 degrees! Stay warm sweetie~ On my way to the wedding.

Good Morning Ladies, It's cold here, I am freezing to death. It will warm up soon so I don't want to turn on the heat. lol We went and voted this morning, wow there were lots of people there voting. They are voting in groves here. If you haven't voted be sure to do so! I am struggling with my weight also, actually have gained some in the last few months. I need to get back to the program and start losing again. Too many parties, birthdays etc going on at work and home. Tonight is a wedding so again more drinks/eats that I shouldn't do. I feel the extra weight so I know it's there too! lol then the holidays are right around the corner too! I am almost all healed up, so maybe I will be able to move this body and lose a little again. I have to get started on the house and get some things done today so I won't have to do it all tomorrow. Catch you all later!

Pat - I have a problem with my computer and can't post them until I get the set up done. It won't take my card.

Good Morning Y'all! It's cold here too. We had a cold front move in and we are in for some cool weather. It won't be too bad during the day, but really cold at night. I hate cold weather! Pat glad you are back, we missed you! I know you had a great time so I won't even say anything about that. lol Sherry - Hope you can get some answers soon. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I don't have much time this morning. I am going with the new boss to take some people from another company out for lunch today, so I want to spend a little extra time fixing myself up for it. lol I want to make a good impression. Or, at least try! Has anyone got their voting done yet? I think we will go on Saturday. We are still in early voting here and I don't want to have to stand in long lines when it gets further along. I am not much on standing around waiting. Good morning to the rest of you gals, I'll catch up with y'all later!

Hello Y'all! Well, my first day at work with my new hair cut. Everybody, and I mean everybody in the office came over to check me out. I got so many compliments! Everyone thought I look much younger and prettier. I had you look so sexy! It made me feel so special all day. I really love it! Michaele - congrats on the W/L! That is great! Be very proud of yourself! Pat - Hope you got your day by yourself! We all need one of those sometimes. Still waiting on those pics of your! Tapping my fingers! lol Darcy - Did you end up getting custody of your girl? I never did hear. I sure hope things went your way! Well, I am bushed, work was so busy today, it made me work twice as hard for missing one dang day! Later!

Well, I am back home, been gone all day long. I got my hair cut pretty short, I just love it. I don't know if DH will like it, but I just love it. I wish my puter would co-operate, I would post a picture. It is short, layered and really bouncy. I just hope I can style it like this when I do it myself. I had my manicure, and my pedicure and my eyebrows done. I just pampered myself for 3 hours. Oh yeah and a color job done too! I am anxious to see what hubby thinks. Just 4 weeks ago my hair was down to my waist, then I cut it to the middle of my back, now it is above my shoulders. Welll, at least I did it a little at a time. lol The gal gave me a coupon for 10 bucks off a massage, so I guess I will just have to go back and have that done now. Pat - waiting to see your pictures! You just have too much fun! lol Later!

Good morning y'all! Well today is my pampering day. I didn't even tell dh I took the day off to go, I am going to see if he notices anything when I get home. lol Heck maybe there won't be enough of a difference to notice at all. We'll see. Donna - You are crazy! I use to be able to tuck mine in too, or throw them over my shoulders. lol Pat - Missy where are you? Is this the week you are on vacation sunning yourself in that skimpy suit? Kat - Glad you are doing so much better. I was worried about you! Sherri - Join the club, seems like since surgery and not moving much and not lifting etc. the weight just poured on. Now I don't fell like doing anything either. I need to do something, cold weather is moving in and all the holidays and there goes more on the old butt! Darcy - I am so glad to see you posting. See you aren't the only one struggling right now. How did the court thing go? I am keeping my fingers and everything else crossed I have for you! Big hugs and good wishes are headed your way! Michaele - You are doing great with your weight loss! I have a brain fart right now, can't remember any names or anything. Forgive me my friends, I haven't finished my first cup of coffee and I guess I am still asleep. We are going to go shopping tomorrow for seat covers/floor mats for the new truck. That is a must as dh will have the tan rugs/seats dirty quick. then we have a big thing going on at Harley, free beer and bbq with two bands and all kinds of stuff going on. I guess that will take care of Saturday. Sunday will be heal up and clean up day along with laundry. Ugh, i wish I could afford a maid! Wouldn't that be nice to have a maid and a cook to just take care of us? Well, I can dream can't I? I just wish I could have a cleaning crew come once a month! lol Everyone have a great day! I'll let you know if I am crying or happy after the hair is done!

Y'all are too funny! Gosh, where did this week go? I am glad it is almost over though! I am taking the day off tomorrow, I am going to use my spa certificate and go get my hair, nails and feet done. I am just going to pamper myself. We have so much planned for the weekend, I just don't know what to do first. lol What's everyone else doing this weekend? Later!

Where is everyone? I'm sending out the monkeys!

Good Morning Y'all! It's been busy here! DH old van is on it's last legs so we went shopping for a new vehicle for him. we were gone all day long, finally found him one. then we came home and had all the neighbors over until 11:30 which was fun but not fun this morning the way my head/body feels. lol Pat - I only had to wear that special bra for 2 weeks. Yes, I did buy some fancy ones, but ended up only being able to wear a couple of them as I had that infection and couldn't wear anything with seams in it. I am almost healed up and then I will be able to wear anything or even go without if I want to. lol I have never been able to go without a bra, so that would feel really weird. So where are you going on your trip? I guess I missed it. I have tons to do today since I didn't get anything done yesterday at all. It has been so pretty here, all we want to do is stay outside. Well, gotta run and get something done before I decide not to do anything at all. lol

Hello y'all! just got home from the doctor and he was very pleased with my progress. He said another month and I should be all healed up and ready to go! He said that isn't an easy way to lose those 10 pounds huh? lol Michaele - Don't buy too much too fast, you'll keep losing remember. I don't remember how much it was for a size to drop either, but I think it was 25 pounds. congrats on the w/l Sherry what kind of Soup is that and I guess you better just post the recipe. lol Where is everyone else at????? Kat how are you doing??????

Good Morning Y'all! What a beautiful weekend! It's cool (60's) at night and 90 in the day. We had a nice day yesterday, we did our chores in the morning then took off and went and had a few drinks at places we never have been, then went out and had a really nice dinner. It was heaven just to get away and not worry about cooking/cleaning up or company. lol Eileen it is so nice to see you here! Hope you have fun at Disney and hope y'all start feeling better too! Pat - The girls are doing better each day. I go back to the doc tomorrow so I'll get his opinion then. But I can see a big difference and it is healing up nicely now. Glad you are still having some nice days! lol on the electric, that was funny. No riding for me yet! I really miss it this time of year when the weather is so nice. Sherry - What you cooking today? Opps, I am cooking Breakfast and I better run in there or I'll be like Pat's dh and my house will be smoking! Have a good one y'all!

Hey Y'all! I found you! I was pouting that nobody was posting! lol Kat - I have been worried about you! I kept checking everyday, but nothing and then I realized I was still in Sept. Feel better soon! Jessica - I just love your picture! You are a hot mama in that picture! Michaele - Happy Anniversary! I hope you get a call and can talk for a while! Pat - I wish they would loose my mortgage! I am not that lucky! Trish - Sorry to hear about your mom, I'll keep her in my prayers. Darcy - Hope you get to check back in soon! We miss you! Dang, I just got a call and I am getting some company! I don't want company tonight! I just get home from work and I want to relax for a night! Catch you all later!

michaele it doesn't matter as long as you wear the same thing everytime. I usually weigh in the morning, I get up drink a cup of coffee, go potty and weigh. I am always wearing my gown that I have on. You are doing great for 4 weeks out, and you will be getting hungry. You don't really have any restriction until you start getting fills. Hang in there!

Hello Y'all! Once again I had a long post going and just lost it all! I get so mad when that happens that I just don't re-do it again. I am going to try once more. Kat - I'm glad you are feeling better. that was a scary thing you went through. Eileen - So you are going to keep one of the pups? What ya naming it? I like weekends when I can come here and see your post! Pat - Yesterday I had a few bits of an egg and a couple bites of a sausage link and and to run to the bathroom and I lost it all. Then we went up to a party at Harley and I was so hungry from not eating all day I got one of the cheese burgers they were giving away. I could only take a couple of bites of the bread, but I got to eat all the hamburger and trimmings. It's crazy how you can eat some things and not others. You should try a few bites and see how you do. You will be surprised that it doesn't taste quite as good as you thought it would. Donna - great to see you here again. Good luck with your fill Darcy - I am so glad you are posting again! I really did miss you! Well I am going to post this one before it vanishes again. I'll try to get to all of you next time.

Hi Y'all! It sounds like everyone is on the way to recovery! Yeah! today is my B-day and it has been so special already. I got to work this morning and my desk was all decorated up with balloons and ribbons. then they all took me out to lunch and we had a great time. When I got back they had a big sheet cake with white icing on it with Pink flowers and printing. I got some really neat presents too. Then when I got home my driveway was all decorated with balloons and signs. I came in the house and DH had left a card and presents. He got me a gift certificate to get my hair done and my nails with a pedicure. I can get my hair colored, cut, and styled. How sweet. Then, he got me a new Harley Jacket with fringe that actually fits me now! I was so excited. Then he got me a new pair of Harley boots! He isn't even home yet either! Talk about a surprise! Must be them perky girls getting him all fired up! lol Well, going to go see what else he might have cooked up that I haven't seen yet! lol Later!

Oh Kat, I am so happy you are better now. I have been so worried about you! I am happy you didn't lose your band along with everything else. Now take it extra easy and gain your strength back. Enjoy some of that food you haven't been able to eat for a long time too. You can spare to gain a little now. lol Hugs and hopefully a quick recovery!

HI y'all! I tried to post twice last week, had really long posts too and lost them each time. I got mad and just quit both times. I had problems with my surgery and developed an infection so I was worried to say the least. The doc put me on medication and gave me 3 days before going back to surgery to do something about it. The meds are working and I am back on my way to recovery. It is going to take a while for me to heal up though. I sure will be glad when this is all over though and I can do normal things again. I really do like my new girls though, and I am not sorry I did it but I am ready to get my life back to normal. Kat - I am so sorry you are having so much trouble. I hope by now you are feeling better. I think about you every day. Do you think your surgery had something to do with all this? It sure seems like you were fine before that. Darcy girl - I have missed you so much! My computer crashed and I didn't even have your address so I couldn't check up on you. lol Hang in there missy, I too am struggling with my scale. I think we all do at times. It is a hard thing to do control our weight and we can just do the best we can and that is all we can do. One big, big, big hug coming your way! love you girl! Pat - You are so bubbly now, I just know you feel so much better with your self since your surgery. Micheale - Congrats on the weight loss. You are on your way! Eileen - Hope you have a great trip! Trish - What's new your way? How is your MOM? Well, I am going to try to post this before I lose it. I have company coming any minute so I have to get things done.
