Dianne did you get your house clean? That is so funny I hear of people doing that all the time. My mom was one of them. My granny on the other hand said no way that's what I pay her to do. haha.... How are you doing? I read your post the other day and I love your outlook. Hang in there girl it will all be behind you soon...We will be here w/ you every step of the way. Angie....I know you what you mean about not being able to eat right and the exercise...I feel like a big old flumpy person. I do have to say I am making better food choices and logging them is helping me out. Now I just need to measure again. Exercise...is there hope for me probably not. Ok now are you feeling better? Sickness is no fun... Melissa - I want to see the pics of the girls...I am sure they are really nice. I always spend too much money on them and I only have one child. UGH... Kathy where are you? Are you ok? Karen how are you doing? We need to do lunch again...next week? Taking Curtis back to the ENT today for his follow up. I really hope it's working. Other then that my FIL is doing good. Getting better each day... Happy Thursday everyone.....

You ladies are craking me up...I will tell you who has to cutest surgeon..My son. haha. His surgeon is just plan eye candy. He is so nice. Ok just wanted to add my 2 cents in. It's great that everyone can talk about what is going on...it does help people feel better. I do think it's crazy they make you pay all the fees upfront. It just seems weird but as long as it just the first one I would have to say I would probably grin and bare it and go on....Good Luck ladies on those upcoming fills...I hope they do the trick for you. Angie you still amaze me doing so well w/ no fill for over what 7 almost 8 months. You rock girl. I have to do shout out to Dr. V - he may not be the best looking thing in the world but I like him. I think our area has some great doctors..we are really lucky to be able to have the option to choice think of the states out there that don't have anyone. So lets hear it for the NC docs!!!!!

Oh I love it....I have a citrus seasoning that I got at sams for it. It's great. If you lived closer I would give you a little to try. It's yummy. Big Paul I think I am going to have to try it that way as well... Never thought of putting salsa on it.. I just love new ideas..

Ok Melissa those things sound really good...I might have to try one for a treat.

Thursday 2/9/06 B - chicken from chick biscuit L - tuna from home w/ 100 cal pack of wheat thins D - don't know where this came from - 2 cheese poppers - 1/4 of grilled cheese and 3 lemon girl scout Cookies. Boy that isn't like me at all....

Thanks for the update...I am sure everything will be ok and turn out the way you want it to. Good Luck!!!!

I look at my band as my best friend. My best friend is staying w/ me. If I treat him good he is going to be good to me. So no it's not coming out if I can help it. I am down just over 71 pounds in 7 months and I think it's been the best thing for me. I guess not having insurance problems has also made it easy. If on the off chance it had to taken out I would ask for it again after I healed if it was ok. I love it....I wish I had the will power to do it alone but I don't so I need my best friend w/ me at all times.

Magic...we are so glad to have you back. You have been busy. Congrats on your new grandson. I am sure he is just adorable. Hope you can make it in March....we would love to meet you.

Alright Angie...we love you so much we are all going to soup it up for you. I really do hope you will come....we will miss you if you don't.

Tuesday 2/7/06 Ok now that my life is somewhat back to normal I am going to start back to this. It really made me feel better and do better because I knew ya'll would see it. :eek: B - egg w/ ham & cheese L - chicken soup D - (this might be bad we are going to the cheese cake factory for my sisters birthday) Ok I think I did pretty good. Grilled ck w/ spinach and onions in a balsamic vinager w/ a side salad. I had 4 bites of cheesecake because I didn't order my own. I took from everyone else. Smart me.. haha

Melissa that picture is great. You should be very proud of it. Dianne you go girl...I am so glad you got the approval. Hang in there they will be calling you before you know it. Keep those spirts up. You know I haven't read much on here lately. I guess I need to go out and check it out. I love my band and no one can change my mind on it. It was the right choice for ME. We will get there...it will be slow but we are all here for each other and w/ support like ours we will be rocking. Just a quick update...the family is doing good. FIL is up and moving still soar but getting a little better each day. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers ask I know this is what has brought us through. More so me just knowing I have ya'll out there. Hope you have a great Tuesday....

Welcome Court....Hope to see you on the 18th. We love meeting new people hopefully we want scare you off the first time. haha:) Melissa - I know I don't go to Dr. B but I have the same insurance as you and they have paid all my fluro fills. I didn't have to even pay a co-pay to Dr. V. Actually I should have them all done there because it will save me the co-pay all together...you have me thinking now. haha. Good Luck

Hey Ladies....check out NC thread under USA - there are alot of us on there chatting away. We start a chat forum each month so jump on in...the more the merrier. Welcome...hope all is well. Eileen - good luck on your surgery. It's so easy and SO worth it.

Thanks everyone. We spend all day w/ him yesterday. We got him up and walking last night. Once he was up he was going pretty good. They didn't xray his right wrist and he couldn't move it yesterday..he thinks it could be broken. Gotta love a hospital that only x-rays parts of your body. You would think they would have done the whole thing since he didn't what happened - when he arrived he was unconious and still all he remembers is looking up and seeing her bumper @ his handle bars. Anyway he is doing great. Thanks again for the prayers as I know they are all being answered because he survived it w/ what we say are minor injuries becuase it could have been alot worse. Delara...I will have to let him know you have an extra bike in vegas ready to go...he was joking yesterday that he was ready to go for a ride because it was so nice yeaterday afternoon here.

Oh Angie I wish you would come...I will eat a bowl of soup w/ you if you want me to. But I totally understand - we all know it's hard to watch people eat when all you can have is soup and PS. Well if you decide to come I promise I will eat soup w/ you and nothing else. Really I will!!!!!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers....We spent all day w/ him yesterday and I have to say he is doing very good. We are going to start calling him Mr. Timex...because he takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Plus if he were a cat he would have already used up his nine lives. We had him up walking yesterday eveing and once he got going he was doing pretty good. I would love to go just one month and not have anything happen in my family just one month is all I am asking. Please!!!! Ok so other then that things are going well. Although I do think Curtis has another ear infection. We will find out this week as he has a follow up w/ his ent doctor. I am taking monday off which is much needed but I am keeping both the kids, Curtis and my neice Abby. That will be a busy day. HarelyNana & Paula it's so nice to see you jump in here w/ us. Please come as often as you would like. We do have a great thing here and I think it helps me to stay on track because I know I will my friends each month and I know I have better lost some weight. haha..... HarelyNana - we were actually heading to the outerbanks in April for a Bike Rally however with the FIL I don't think we will be going. We will probably use our house in N Mrytle Beach. We will see though. Alright ladies hope you have a great superbowl sunday....Our plans today is hang out at the house unless the in laws need me and we will go. Talk later....

Hello Fellow Banded Biker Buddies - Can you please send a quick prayer or thought out for my FIL. He was hit by a car yesterday afternoon on his bike. He is doing ok - talking and stuff like that but he has alot of broken bones and his legs are bad from the road rash. The lady cut accross 2 lanes of traffic to get to her exit and just didn't see him. Sorry to hijack the thread but knew fellow bikers would pray for a quick recovery for him. Also pray the lady tells the truth she told medic what I said above but when the trooper got there she told him he ran into to her. Lucky there are witnesses they haven't talked to yet so hopefully the truth will come out when the cop talks to them. Thanks everyone.

Hey Guys just a quick I needs your thought and prayers - yesterday @ 4:30 my FIL was hit by a car on his motorcycle. He is doing ok but he has alot of broken bones and he legs are pretty bad from the road rash. He was uncounsious (sp) for a few hours but he is ok. The lady told medic at the scene she cut accross traffic and didn't she me. When the state trooper got there she told him he ran into her. So please pray for him recovery and that the true story is told. Thanks ladies...I will chat more later. Hope everyone is doing ok...
