Wenjea, We are not really sure yet. She is probably only 4-6 weeks preggers. That puts her some where to June or July. I am still holding out hope that it is a false positive result because of her estrogen levels. It's not that I'm not excited about the baby, I go crazy of babies and have wanted a grandbaby for soooo long..I just know that her life is fixing to change more than she know. She is a full time student and intends to finish her degree (history teacher). She knows it more important to do that now than ever. It is tough being a single parent and not having anyone to share the special moments with....to see the milestones the baby makes. But, I did it with her and I never regreted it for one second...you see I made the same stupid mistakes...I didn't have much parenting as a teen, kinda had to fiqure it all out for myself. But heck, it made me who I am today. My Mom was such a support to me as a adult that I couldn't have done it without her. I will make it as smooth as possible for Nicky as I can. I have a very strong faith and love the Lord with all my heart. He put it in my heart that this is another generation to spread the good word! blessings, Weazer

Hello Wenjea A baby girl, how wonderful and I love the name Chloe. My daughter says if she has a girl she will be named Vivianna and called Vivy for short. If it's a boy she will name him Cole Alexander. She has not told the young man yet that she is pregnant. He is not a great person and she thinks he will just not want anything to do with her. Isn't that great. Why when your young do you let people use you like that. Oh well, bless her heart..she will be well taken care of anyway. Once again congrads, we can share stories of our first grandchild...whens your's due? Blessings, Weazer

I'm six months out as of a week ago and my hair looks fine. It is long and I find pc's of it after I blow dry but not any more than usual. Also, I am half way to my wght loss goal! Blessings, Weazer

Thank you Metalband for you kind words too! How are y'all doing? It is quite on the board! I am feeling like I am well into the 180's I can't wait to weigh in on the first. This could be another of those 10pd wght loss months from the feel of it. Here I am cooking a big dinner day after Thanksgiving for me and the girls....I will be so mad if I can't eat it! Weazer

Geneva, Your right, we won't miss the food. Just a couple of bites of everything soft and we will be satisfied! This coming year is going to be so good for us! Blessings, Weazer

Oh, and by the way, Wenjean, congrads! Please let me know if it's a boy or a girl. We have no boys in my family. Me and both of my sisters have all had girls. A baby boy would make me extremely happy! Weazer

Wenjea, thank you for your uplifting words. Thank God my daughter is pro life as well. She briefly considered adopting the baby out (so the baby would have a two parent family) but she has decided she wants to keep the baby. Babies are a blessing. I have been wanting one in the family for along time. Of course I wish it were under different circumstances...I wanted it to be different for her...see I was a unwed mother when I was her age too. I so hoped that she would learn from my mistakes. But, we can't live our childrens lifes for them...just try and show them the best way. Well, it didn't happen but, God is blessing me with a grandbaby! I will cherish this child and love my daughter all the more. Thanks. (Won't it be strange to be called Gramma) Blessings, Weazer

Congrads Melissa! Enjoy you honeymoon! Wenjea - Not struggling yet but yesterday I found out I am going to be a Gramma for the first time. This is great news of course but, the sad part is that she is not married. So I allowed myself yesterday to mourn for her and to wallow a bit in depression...went and bought a Whitman's Sampler. I ate some of it (planned on stuffing the whole box) but, I just couldn't do it and it didn't fill the empty hole in my heart so I took it out to the staff to eat. Today only joy and peace. Babies are always a blessing and I am going to enjoy every minute of this from here on out. Blessings, Weazer

Wenjea, So your at 26 cc wonder how much he will give you this time. Prob to about 3 or 3.25 just where I am. It really gets tight here..really really tight. about the bulemic thing..if I am honest and admit that the first several months I would have this sort of sick satisfaction when I pb's because I new it was calories lost. Now after the six month mark, most stuff I eat is healthy and I need the nutrician and I am always praying it will stay down! The warm tea does help, so does really cold stuff. I like to drink a can of low sodium v-8 before lunch because it is a serving of vegetable. I drink the protein shakes but they are so good that they feel like cheating to me. I always want another so I have to limit my use of them to like one or two every other day or so. I'm not sure how many calories I'm consuming each day but I know it's around 900-1200. I think I'm doing pretty good nutricianlly. Thank goodness. I think we are all doing great! Sandra, havn't heard from you. How are you doing? Weazer

Babygotback, Your description of witnessing was wonderful and your sincerity shines through! No wonder God chose you to be one of his saints! Blessings, Weazer

Metal band, Notice you said a couple of chocolate chips and "a" cookie. Remember when it would be a couple of handfuls of chips and a couple of rows of cookies! Now today your back on track. That was almost impossible before. You are doing great! Tee Hee, I am so excited and feel so good again that I can hardly contain myself! Weazer

Metalband, I just noticed you made your half way mini goal! That is more like a super duper major goal! I praise you for your hard work in getting the wght off! I feel joy for you! Blessings, Weazer

Raydoll! I am so excited for you...why you may be 199 right at this minute! you skinny thing you! I am so excited this morning. I put on a shirt this morning that I had bought about 2 years ago even though it didn't fit. I really liked it and my thinking at the time was...I'm going to diet and get into this very soon. Never happened. Well, this morning I was digging for something to wear and though I'd try it on and it fits perfect. No tighness across the chest or tummy! Course now it is a bit out of style. I don't like it as much as I did two years ago, but heck, happy dance it fits! I didn't have any gurgling or squeaking this weekend. I am still having to take the tiniest bites of food...I am PB on the first bite of almost everything..but then I can finish the bowl after that first PB. Strange, but I am very very happy with my band! Hope everybody had a great weekend. Can't wait to hear you NSV's Blessings, Weazer

Melissa, Congrads! How exciting how wonderful! 2008 is going to be such a great year for you! Leg, I feel so much better too. Isn't is funny how loosing a few pds can make such a difference! I am tearing down walls that I built with my own hands. Letting people in. Enjoying myself and letting people enjoy me. Maureen - 176! Whoo Hoo happy dance! I can't wait to be there too! I will so good when I reach the one seventies. Right now just waiting to get to the 180's (I think I may be there but wont wght till Dec 1rst). I am not eating much after that 5th fill. Really really full with just little bits of food. I am kinda having a problem with this tightness. I wake up in the morning and have trouble with feeling like I have something stuck. I am gurgling and bubbles are sqeaking out of my throat. I think it's the saliva (I hate saying that word out loud...I am such a pruddy). Everything is sticking now. I will try it for a week or two and see what happens. I don't want to end up like Sandra and get all dehydrated. I didn't even bother with breakfast because It felt like I was stopped up. I had alittle chopped chicken in BBQ sauce for lunch but it wasn't going down good so went and got some fat free frozen yogert (about a cup) and it went down perfect of course. Can't live on yogert. Blessings all and have a wonderful weekend! Weazer

Ragdoll, You are so close to 199. It is very possible for you to be ther by Thanksgiving! I see you have had 4 fills. I just had my fifth. Somebody was telling me today that insurance will only pay for 5 fills. Have you heard anything like that. I know what you mean about changing. I have allot more confidence now. I was always friendly and bubbly, but I feel like people are paying attention to me when I am friendly and bubbly. Isn't it a good feeling! Blessings, Weazer

Michelle, I don't feel any discomfort when my stomach is empty. Just hungry and a need to eat. Why do you feel discomfort? What does it feel like? Weazer

Sue You made it? Your in onderland? Can you believe it! Isn't it wonderful! I am so very happy for you! Easy way out my eyeball! Blessings my friend!

Sue, I understand about wanting to be in onederland. I feel the same about the 180's We are both so close to those mini goals and will reach them literally at any moment! Then we will have to set new mini goals! Mine will be the 170's. I have only lost around 9 pds since August...My doc told me that this takes time, maybe 1 to 1/2 yrs. I don't know why I expect to loose it all in 6 months! that's just not realistic! I went to the doc yesterday and she gave me a fill. When they drew out the fluid I had 3cc's in there. The PA was suprised cause she though she had only put 2.75 cc in the last time. So she went ahead this time and put 3.25 ccs in. I woke up this morning and my throat was making all these weird bubbling squeaking sounds. Strange. It has stopped now. Hope it dosn't do that everday! Macysgranny - I am so so so happy for you! 65 pds is a incredable accomplishment! You have every right to brag and be proud. I also liked the tone of your email. It was so positive and happy! Thanks for that! Oh, I forgot to say...I went ahead and made myself look at the scale when she weighed me..I hadn't gained any (shockingly) and was still at 192. Thanks Lord! Blessings, Weazer

It seems like most of us are just losing ounces! I am so discouraged that my doc told me to come in for a small fill today. I'm not even going to let her tell me how much I weigh. It seems like I'll never get out of the 190's. It will do so much good for my psychy (don't ya just love that word). She said she would bump me up to 3cc's I think I am one of those people who will have to go to the total 4cc as I am such a bindge eater! Funny I noticed I am wearing the same black pants I always seem to be wearing when I get a fill! Maybe they are the problem...I need to shake it up...next time I will wear my plaid! Blessings sistah's and brotah's! Weazer

Oh crum bum! I just did my monthly weigh in. I was so hoping for 10 pds. I only lost 4! Granted I did blow it a few times....but, not that bad! will I ever get out of the 190's? I have never had this much trouble getting into the 180's. That's usually when I get tired of dieting and start to gain the weight back. Boy, old age sucks! O.k. now that I've whined, I will move on and not let it distress me. I will be in the 180's on Dec. 1rst! That will be my Christmas presant to myself! Positive attitude, Positive attitude...I love myself I love myself! Blessings and have a beautiful day! Weazer

Poor baby! Don't worry about your fill right now. Just drink. Get hydrated. Just think you will get a fill in a few weeks and you'll be able to eat better. You'll may even have a better insight as to when you have enough of a fill. I am thankful that you are o.k. Take care of yourself! blessings, Weazer

Cindy, I am sorry that your discouraged. I won't give you any platitude's. I know youv'e heard them all. I will just say..keep on track with your eating and exercising and the wght will come off. It really will. By may of next year you will have most of the wght off if you stay on track. Don't let the numbers get you down. I bet you look so much better and feel so much better than you did almost 6 months ago. Hang in there and just wait. Blessings, Weazer. Sandra, when do you see the doc next?

Lizrbit, Your right, I didn't eat six of the donuts like I would have before. And good news. I got back on track for the weekend and I can't wait for my monthly wght in on the 1rst. Remember I was 196 on Oct 1. I hope I am in the 180's now. That would be wonderful. My NSV today was that I had my back to my office door this morning and a coworker (dosn't know I had the band) walked in and gasped and said man, your loosin some wght! I said can ya tell...and she said yes! Loved the gasp! Wenjea, I know that it must be so frusterating not having the scale move. My encouragement to you is that you are changing your shape. Isn't it amazing how weights do that. You are probably in better shape than most of us. Looks like you are doing everything right. Just keep doing it. Maybe stop wghing on that scale and worry only about the inches. I am amazed at your wght loss! You should be so proud. Don't worry about rushing the numbers. It will happen, it really really will. By next May...these days will only be a memory! Your gonna be hot! blessings, Weazer

Oh crud....here I went again! Someone brought in donuts this morning and I resisted all day..now I just went back there and ate a half of a jelly filled donut. I suck!!!!!!!!!! O.K. enough beating myself up. I won't fall off the wagon just because I wet my whistle. That's it. No more sweets! I've got the DT's from resisting sweets!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend everybody, Bessings, Weazer

Hello Wanda, Welcome! Glad your here! Blessings, Weazer
