Spoke too soon! Knocked off again! Guess what?!?! I got into a pair of size 20 jeans this morning! I couldn't get them buttoned, but I got into them! I could almost button them, but not quite. When they finally button, I'll update my before & after pics. I have not been in a pair of size 20 jeans since before I was married 14 years ago! Woo Hoo!! I think I'm going to bed now. I have been up all night listing stuff on Ebay. Hope everyone has a good day!

Wow! I'm still here!

Thanks Kim! LOL! It took me 3 tries to finally get into this thread. You watch, when I hit submit post, I'll get knocked off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you're home & doing better! Hope u have a speedy recovery!

WOW! I'm impressed!! We have thought of making homemade wine a few times, but we just don't have the space. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who stayed up all night! HEHEHE!! Good to see you back woman!

Congrats! I hope your new job works out better than mine did! ;p LOL!!

I know they're just chickens, but they are so cute!!! The first one hatched Monday & the second one hatched Tuesday. I just wanted to share pics of the newest editions to the McCoy clan.

You're welcome! They are so much fun to watch. Curious little boogers! We only have 3 acres right now. We hope to buy a small farm down the road from us in the future. Right now all we have are chickens. I would like a few cows, goats & rabbits. We'll see! Maybe one day. I'm country to the bone!! I was raised on a small farm. Lonnie comes from a long line of farmers. They lost everything in the 80s. He says he'll never do that kind of farming again. A hobby farm would be fun though. I guess I already have a start.

YAY! Congrats! You're doing great!!

Good grief! I'm so glad noone was seriously injured! Hope he's not too sore tomorrow.

Robyn, I'm so sorry you are going through this! Please keep us updated. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers!!! (((((HUGS)))))

Dawn, I'm so sorry for your loss. (((((HUGS))))) Whatever decision you make will be the right decision! I'll keep you & your family in my thoughts.

WOW! Hope you have a speedy, pain & gas-free recovery! Welcome to Band Land!!!!!

1. I can touch my toes. 2. I have knee caps again (verses rolls of fat). 3. I have ankles again (no edema). 4. I cut my blood pressure medicine in half. 5. I can actually buy clothes in regular stores now (2-3x). 6. I bought scrubs from a scrub catalog who's scrubs have NEVER fit me before! 7. I lost a shoe size (go figure). 8. I can do aerobics now! 9. I enjoy sex again! 10. My husband can't keep his hands off me (well, he never could, but now I like it). 11. People are finally telling me I look good. 12. My back doesn't hurt as bad! 13. I'm running out of clothes that fit me. 14. I can shave my legs without looking like a contortionist. 15. I can drive my car in comfort now (the belt doesn't choke me). 16. 10/10/05 My Step-Mother told me twice yesterday that I really looked good! (this was unheard of & by far my best NSV to date!) I'll keep thinking & add more! I have to get back to my housework! updated NSVs 1/4/06 17. I can wear jeans again - size 25 18. I can wear boots again 19. I'm having to replace my wardrobe 20. I actually takes clothes back because they are too big! 21. I have a neck again 22. When we were in Branson, the weekend before Christmas, I actually walked up all of the stairs after getting off the Branson Belle, without stopping or getting out of breath! When I got to the top I realized I was alone (everyone else had to stop midway). That was a moment of enlightenment (wow! I did it!) 23. I was able to work 16 hour shifts in a nursing home where i was on my feet for at least 14 of the 16 hours. 24. I can bend over & tie my shoes now. 25. My youngest cousin, who is 8, climbed onto my lap Christmas eve & proceeded to turn around with a suprised look & exclaimed, "Jessie you have a lap now! Look everybody, I'm sitting on Jessie's lap!" I think this is my favorite NSV so far! Happy New Year everyone! Hope it's Happy, Healthy (or healthier) & Prosperous for everyone! :Bunny update 1/20/06 26. When I went for my fill on the 18th, I noticed that I actually had room on the gurney! On both sides of me! I didn't have to rest my arms on the side rails! I had to add this one before I forgot! :clap2: update 1/23/06 27.I noticed last night that I am no longer like the hoover dam when I take a bath. Yes, the Water goes all the way around! 28. I have lost 12.25 inches from head to toe since January 5, 2006!! :faint:

Wish me luck! I have a new job working in a consignment shop! Wish me luck in not buying anything! I am guaranteed Mon - Fri 11-3 & then extra hours when needed. & I get 20% off & first pick of the clothes that come in! The place is huge! It's like the size of 4 or 5 Dollar General stores (if you know what they are). It's only 15 minutes away from home. I have never worked that close to home. I think it will be fun!:clap2:

Okay. I quit my new job. LOL!! I loved it. But I met the owner. She was a nasty piece of work!! I don't need to work that bad! I will still shop there though. LOL! I bought somthing every day that I worked. I think Lonnie was relieved that I quit. There's a first.

I've lost 80lbs, but I still have a long way to go. So far the only thing that is bothering me are my boobs. Everything else is shrinking up nicely. I'm not saying I'll be perfect, but so far I am pleasantly suprised. The boobs irritate me though. I have pretty good genes on both sides of the family so I'm hoping that everything will keep shrinking! I really moisturize too. I use Oil Of Olay body wash with shea butter & Skin So Soft. I don't know if it is really helping, but somthing sure is.

Congrats! Welcome to Band Land! Try taking smaller sips or drinking warm to hot liquids & see if that helps.

WOW! You should be in Band Land by now! Or at least well on your way. Hope you have a speedy, pain & gas-free recovery! Welcome to Band Land!!

Awesome job! You are doing great! Congrats!!
