I thought I responded to this, but my post is not here. We like Macaroni Grill, and Flat Top Grill. I believe both have locations around those areas. ~Mandy

Our anniversary is here, how is everyone doing? I figured this would get to everyone that checked in here and signed up for email notification. ~Mandy

I am totally happy with my band. I have gone from a 22-24 to a 12 in just under a year. The only problem that I have had is my gall bladder and it was bad pre-banding but not bad enough to remove. I am so glad that everyone is doing so good. I wish that everyone on the list would check back in. ~Mandy

There was a list last July that had all of us July bandsters on it, let me see if I can find it....~Mandy

Macaroni Grill is there, they are really good and have this really good dish called skinny chicken that is grilled chicken with a balsamic sauce served with spinich...yummmmm~Mandy

I think this was a test to check our ability to follow instructions. We failed. Or it could be kutia's way of making us look...Made you look, made you look LOL ~Mandy

You can't just put ignore and expect us to follow the rules....we are rebel rule breakers around here~Mandy

I'm up for a get together....let me know when and where and I'll do my best to be there. ~Mandy

145 is my goal, I am at 162ish now, the weights are listed as follows high or day of surgery/current/goal I can't wait to see 145. ~Mandy

It's a great hospital isn't it? I also had my gallbladder out there and they treated me great. All of my fills are under flouro at the hospital and the whole staff there is wonderful, they are a top 100 hospital. Also, the whole hospital staff just raves about Dr. Lahmann. He is young and really sweet. ~Mandy

I see Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. If you want more info, PM me and I can get his number and more information for you. They offer a free seminar every wed night at 6, arrive at 5:45 at the hospital. I love the staff there, they are the best. ~Mandy

That is soooo wonderful for you. I don't post much anymore, but I do keep an eye on the members here. I am sooooooooo proud of you. I know that you will keep going and very soon will be posting GOAL!!!!!!! Hugs to you~Mandy

Not sure where it came from, someone sent it to me and we all cracked up about it. I need to figure out how to put it on myspace.com ~Mandy

What's even funnier is that my bird LOVES it and he bobs his little head with the beat. He's a riot...~Mandy

Also consider soy cheese, they have loads of protein and they taste really close to regular cheese. ~Mandy

SHe announced today that she would not return for the fall season. She was told in March or April that her contract would not be renewed. They said that people didn't trust her anymore. After the way she did with the wedding and the non-discussed weightloss. There was "different feeling" at the table. Here is the yahoo story link http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060628/ap_on_en_tv/tv_the_view_reynolds What do you all think? I know she has been a hot topic here before and thought I would see what the opinion was here. ~Mandy

Actually they let Merideth out of her contract early. ~Mandy

Oh, I love Anne Curry, she is very down to Earth, we met her at a big Chicago bash and she was great. We asked her to take a picture with our daughter (expecting her to stand next to one of us and pose) she reaches over and takes my daughter and gives her the biggest smile. She was soooo nice. ~Mandy

My problem with the whole thing is that she WROTE a book and it was supposed to be a tell all about her weight loss. How many women bought that book hoping that this would be their saving grace? The chance for them to also lose weight and look as thin as Star? I know I tried Oprahs diet and failed, how many women were decieved by the ads for the book as a tell all? If she had surgery I respect her privacy but don't try to sell a book that is a "tell all" that really tells nothing. ~Mandy

We do Disney and love it, but it's not for everyone. My parents just did a cruise in the Bahamas and had a blast, it was on Carnival I believe. Whereever you decide I hope you have a blast~Mandy
