Ok it's Thursday and this is what we have so far: Coming: Angie, Melissa, Kathy, Dianne +1, Karen, Kim Maybe's: Jennifer, Starr, Kami No's: Sherrie & Denika (Sherrie hope to see you again soon; Denika hope to meet you next month) For the no's - we always decided our next meeting when are together is there anything that would not work for you so that we schedule around it? Ok did I miss anyone?

Jennifer, my sister is a nurse @ NE. Of course it's on the peds floor but she says there are DVD players there. So you should be good there. I am really just 10 mins away from the hospital so I can come and help you in anyway you need. I am with Kathy we are your family now so just tell us what you want us to do and we are there for you. I can come after work and sit with you for a few hours...whatever you need.

We are home and doing good....his right ear was getting worse. He said he cleaned out the fluid & infection and put us on some drops. He said he hearing would be better and she speach would be better as well. Now it all makes sense...the dr said his hearing was distorted (sp?) and so that explains why he didn't hear us alot of times or we couldn't understand him. So I have to say this was the eaiest thing we have had done so far... I too think this should be it for 2006 for my little man.... Thanks for the thoughts and prayers...you are just wonderful.

Tuesday 1/24/06 B - egg w/ ham and cheese L - Lima Beans & a few fried mushrooms. D - 1/4 of a grilled chicken wrap, 3 fried pickles, a few fried red pot. (we went to a place called Skinnyz, it was really good, althought they didn't have alot of diet friendly food.)

Welcome Sharon...

That is great...Congrats!!! Can't wait to see the pictures.

Hey everyone...just a reminder we are meeting this saturday..the 28th We would love to meet new people.... Please let us know if you are coming so we can try to get somewhat of a head count. Hope to see you there....

I too love loosing!!! It's the best... Dianne - I am in a 22/24 or 2X....It's getting baggy on me but it still looks ok. So I would love to go through them....if you don't mind. I am so excited to see everyone saturday.... Curtis gets the tubes tomorrow morning. I have to be in Southpark @ 6:15am. uhg...... Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!!

Melissa have you recoved from the sauce? Oh see I don't do spicy. I am a whimp...I would have been dead on that. Angie - girl I am with you on the Panthers...Mom went to the game last week. If we win this week...she's got tickets to the super bowl. I think she feels bad and is having a pre party this weekend...cooking for us. (My sister and her family and my family.) Gotta love the gult we are giving her. haha. Hope everyone is having a great weekend...ours has been pretty busy so far. I wish I had some time off this week again...I could get use to working only 2 days a week. Curtis is doing better...coughing...I think Melissa sent it over the PC waves becuase it's just horrible. He gets his tubes Wed as long as he hasn't ran a fever in 24 hrs prior to surgery. Well so far he has had one Friday and luckly low grade yesterday. This morning he hasn't had one but's only 7:45... GO PANTHERS!!!!!!

I am at my sweet spot now....I think I still eat more food at a serving then what they say you should but I to me it's not alot SO I think I am there. I feel full a good part of the day and actually it's 7:33 AM and I am not hunger. I didn't think I would ever say that. It's weird because I don't feel I need to eat lunch most days but do because I want to get to @ my 1200 calories so I keep loosing but if I missed it it wouldn't bother much at all. I actually have it all working together. December I really learned that I could eat around the band if I wanted to so in Jan as of today I have about 8 pounds gone to show that I am for real about this and my head works w/ the band now not against it or around. I am 2.5 and just a few short months ago that was way to tight for me. Now it's good....so I will stay here until I loose about 20 or so pounds and then get another....well that is what I am going to tell my doctor..or get another one when the scale stops moving. Good Luck on your fill....Keep us posted.

Saturday 1/21/06 B - 1/2 ham-cheese omelette L - 1/2 scoop of chicken salad D - Chicken nachos (Curtis ate the nachos, I ate the toppings. )

Ok lets see if I can remember Friday B - 1 egg, 1/2 order of hashbrowns and 1 pc of bacon L - Grilled Ck saled D - 1 pc of flounder filet, 3 onion rings S - 2 PB balls

Thursday 1/19/06 B - deli turkey slices w/ 1 tbls light chives cream cheese L - split chicken nachos w/ co-worker (I picked around most of the chips but enjoyed some of them.) D - grilled pork chop - broc slaw

Oh I am so sad I missed Starr...I did get your vm on my cell but I didn't have it on today. I need to make sure you have my work #. Tomorrow isn't good so maybe we can aim for next week....

Sherri...girl you have it bad. I weigh myself each morning and that is it...of course after I go to the potty. Got to get those few oz out. I remember a time that Kathy weighed several times a day...I don't know if she still does it not. Dianne had scale issues also...I know she said at one point she through one out the window or door or something. DONT do it let it go.....maybe there is a 12 step program. :eek:

Dianne where did you go??? I waited for your call....lets try again next week?

I just love you ladies...frumy or happy we can come here and chat away tell how we are feeling and everyone still loves you!! Curtis is doing better today. Fever hasn't been over 101 so that is a good thing. I am taking him to spend the day with my dad tomorrow so I hope he is better....him and dad always play so hard. If he isn't feeling better dad will lay in bed with him. Curtis is taking a nap right now....so that is good. Thanks everyone for asking!!! Melissa girl you are doing great! Look at me I am finally just getting the scale moving again and I haven't even started exercising again like I should. I feel out of it when Curtis has his surgery and haven't thought much about it since. BAD KIM...I will I have to... A fill is probably what you need. Everyone is SO different when it comes to the band and even WL so don't fret....you will do great!!! Dianne you and Kathy are such great inspriations.... Pictures once a month - individual why didn't we think of this 6 months ago...hello. I think that would be a great idea. I can't wait til next weekend for a our monthly gathering...I would love to see some new faces...just don't know if any are going to join us. Alright ladies....Have a great Wed night....keep them heads up and lets get busy being some BIG LOSERS or having GREAT NSV!!!!!:clap2:

Kathy you are THE BEST!!!! Girl you look amazing...your great spirts and wonderful NSV's could keep anyone going. You are the one that I truly look up to in my journey. Just when the scale stops moving I read something you have written and you get me back on track...so Thanks from your biggest fan!!!!!

I have been out all week so I am not going to 100% comitt to it until I get in and see how behind I am. I am sure it will not be a problem though...I would love to see our Starr again. Can I let you know in the AM?

Sherry that is great...I too have been following your other thread. I am so glad you are going to be able to get your fill. You are so right with getting a local doctor and being on the move. MX is probably the right place for you. Just remeber no matter where you go please keep us posted and always chat with us. You are part of our family now!!!!

Oh yes Paula...that is where I get mine. In the wal-mart I go to they are where the foil and baggies are. You want be sorry getting these at all!!!!

They don't keep it completely clean on everything but oh my even at that the clean up is SO EASY...I wouldn't cook with out them ever again!!!! Get you some... Big Paul...you keep that cake to your self and you go ahead and some and let us know how it is after you eat....I want to catch up to your 11 pounds..
