UP One pound ;(--- 3/14

LOL- Paula, I always tell the guys at starbucks that I know nothing about coffee(cause I don't) & they set me up with something new to try & if I don't like it they actually make me something else- no charge..Very nice..try it sometime;0) PS- Most of the time I love IT!

CHiliBlue- Beautiful furry babies!!! I also love that cutie Thunder w/his ears!!!! Laura- Your pug is way to much cute personality plus!!!!!

Good Deal - that would work out well & with time to spare before the bash. By the way your face is looking very thin in your new avatar. I've got some great hair remover for that fuzz above your lip if you want to borrow some-lol ;0)

OK- Here is the set-up. AS of today 3-11-05 got great news that insurance will give me an answer by mid-next week!! I am very happy & have been praying at nite for God to send me an answer............This evening I recieve a call from a very close friend(she Knows Nothing about my possible WLS). She says that another mutual friend of ours wanted her to call me to ask if I would be interested in something - but didn't want me to be embarrased that she asked. This mutual friend dates the producer of the "BIGGEST LOSER" & she said that they had talked about me & if I wanted could probably set up an audition to be on the next show. HOLY CRAP! Now what -is this Gods way of telling me not to do the band?? Or is this a stupid thing to do?? I am so fricken confused. I want the band- but know that if I was with personal trainers & chefs & on TV - well I could do it! But will I keep it off a year from now? I don't know if I could tell the world I weigh more than 245pds. Especially my X & all my old co-workers. They would have no clue I weight as much as I do. Not to mention my dog- who would take care of him?-he is old & has lots of needs. My girlfriend said they may arrange for him to be near me if I go. I didn't know what to say to her-so I said I'd think about it & she should ask if my dog could come because he is to old to be in a kennel for mnths. Than what do I do when insurance says yes next week?The office said they have a tenative date for march 29 -for me. Oh my Gosh- i just can't think straight. Anyone have any ideas for me? PLEASE. I have no one to really ask-because I have told only 3 people(1 is my mom) about the WLS. I know what she would say, try the show, at least I think thats what she say. PLease anything- anybody has to say may help me. Thank you all for any responses. This has been such a long process & now to have this monkey wrench thrown in is unbelieveable. Looking for the answer- Christina Ps- We should try & get Alex to add spell check.

John- Are you going to get the band? Your lose so far is fantastic

ILMAO Zoe--- I am up a pound this week.:guess But had the best dinner last nite at Caraba's--Yuummy! Plua I had fun - it was worth it-not to mention I feel full as of this morning-lol

Jack- Are you still in the mushie stage? Why the puree pot pie- Aren't you able to eat that slowly? Or is it too soon for you still & will you be able to eat it w/out having it pureed sometime in the future?

Welcome aboard Michelle!!!!!!

That a girl!! way to go - just think soon you'll be pass those 18-20 sizes & shopping for 14-16's!!! Every month will bring new success stories on your weight loss & especially your health & energy. I so glad your doing well.

HI Holly! I am in the stage they call- waiting-waiting & waiting for insurance. But if you are going to pay for it yourself you could be a mere week or two away from the band. Gather info as much as you can & ask questions till your blue in the face. That way you can really be successful when you enter you new way of living. Best of luck to you.

What a sweet picture & sounds like a perfect getaway. I am happy you felt so good & had wonderful energy to enjoy it so much.

This Is The Nite Of No Sleep Too Much Excitement For You Girl Make Sure Your Before Shot Is Posted You'll Be Wasting Away Before We Know Whhhhhhwooooooo!!!!!!!! So Excited For You & Sending Positive Thoughts Your Way Please Update Us Asap (((hugs)))

Hi Zoe- When I think about it... weightloss & feeling better about myself is my #1 priority. So I am more excited about the band than the show. It was more like a question of when to do the band & the frustration of having already waited 5+ months. Also was the band my last choice or should it be the show first?(I have been studing about the band & other WLS for 2 yrs total)But I have a God Can, anyone else know what I am talking about ?? I love it & got it when i went through my divorce. So I wrote down my thoughts on the show & the band and asked God what he thought was best. Than I folded up the letter & placed it through the slot in the can. Now the trick is to let it go & wait for his answer. The premise is when you can't---God Can. So I am waiting & gathering info & praying. I am leaning more towards what BigT said-it seemed as if he(I assume that your a He- sorry if your not) was in my head. Meet the producor - talk about other shows- get the band & than after lossing weight-Go for it!

Babs- & Vines- that truely is my all time FAV show- If I get the band & don't do the other (which looks doubtful)& loose a load of weight COUNT me in girls.

Infaith is so right Melanie- all the scientific studies prove it. 50 pds come on.. that is wonderful. So you hit a rough patch you will know what to do to get out of it. Maybe its a matter of trying just one or two differnt things. Like parking a little further away. Take the stairs when available. Do a leg lift when watching TV or simply make it a MOM's time for 15 mins everyday. no excuses. I know it is sooooo much easier said than done but you made the right choice & will be better of years from now with less skin problems & hopefully less health problem. If your by-pass friends give you a rough time- eat something really sweet in front of them;0)
