Oh good gosh !! I'm sorry to hear about this mix up. Hopefully your doctor can get on the phone and fix it. Hang in there Andrea.

When I was following the Atkins diet, I had a funny dream that I was going down a HUGE slide and on one side of the slide there were donuts on the other side of the slide there were ice cream bars. The object was to slide down and grab as much food as you can. I woke up laughing my ass off. I also used to dream of my favorite candy Pnut M&M's....sigh. You can keep looking at your cook books, except this time, try to figure out ways to cook your favorite meals more healthy. It could be fun !! Your not alone

Uggg So much for the old saying... "my eyes are bigger than my belly"

And there you have it !!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Your hair looks great and so do you.

Glad your seeing the doctor, can't hurt

Happy Columbus Day !! Good morning how is everyone this drizzly dreary day? Karla GOOD LUCK TODAY !!! Your in my prayers. Beanie, have fun at jury duty (ick). Nothing new here today, SOSDD.

Good luck tomorrow Ladies !!! Theresa2mum – 10th Anotherme – 10th Let us know when your home safe and sound please

Tammy sorry to hear about your friend, that is really sad. I get most of my clothes at www.roamans.com, I call it disposable clothing because the clothing only last 1 - 2 seasons. Just wear and toss them away. LOL sad huh. I like The Avenue for pants, since they carry tall, and either Catherines or Roamans for shirts.

Karla, Good Luck tomorrow, let us know when your home safe and sound

Could you all give me some examples of what you eat (size) and how long it takes you to eat it. Also, how long does it take you to drink, lets say a cup of water. Can you drink like before you were banded ? THANK YOU !!!

THATA BOY !!!! Thanks everyone !!!! You've made my day. I was wondering about the water and being able to drink / guzzle

Betty, I used to feed the squirles and chipmunks pnuts, I had them coming up and taking it out of my hand. One chipmunk used to crawl up my leg and sit on my knee for a pnut. I had to stop b/c when we got my dog, it would drive her nuts and we didn't want the squirles and cm's thinking my dog was critter friendly when she wasn't. She's the mellowest dog ya ever wanna meet just don't let her see a critter, she goes crazy and I'd hate to say it but she won't rest until she has it in her mouth. She'll go after anything, racoons, squirles, rabbits, chipmunks, woodchucks, and an occasional bird if it gets close enuf LOL... oh and she also eats bee's. LOL Another reason I don't feed the animals anymore is because we get alot of bears in this neck of the suburbs/woods. The town urges us not to leave bird seed out or anything that would attract them. I used to walk my dog every morning at 4:30 am but I stopped b/c I was to scared I might run into a bear. We had some wicked rain yesterday, the houses on the other side of the river (at the end of my street) flooded out. They had to take people out by row boats. Some were smart and got out b/4 the waters got to high. There are cops, fire trucks, ambulances, and Channel 7 Eyewitness News. That guy NJ Burket (I think thats his name) was there, I was standing next to him but I acted like I didn't know who he was LOLOL. Let just say my town is a little hectic right now. Its sad when you see the houses 1/2 under Water. I can NOT imagine the folks in LA when the hurricanes hit. My gosh. Anyway, I think its nappy time Its damp and cold and I just wanna lay under a fleece blanket Hope you all are having a nice day.

Happy Birthday Maribella !! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Good Sunday Morning Betty, how's the puter today ? some times this site here is so slow on my puter I leave b/c the waiting drives me nuts lol. I wonder why that happens? Riding and a nap, that sounds right up my alley I don't buy pumpkins to carve b/c there are so many squirrles and chipmunks that love to eat them. I tried everything, sprinkling red pepper on it...nothing keeps those kritters away. We live right in the mountains and its very woodsy here with a river right at the end of our street. Forget planting flowers in the front yard, the deer have a feast lol. Mexican mmmmmm now thats one place I'll have to go to b/4 my surgery Beanie, how goes the TV, anything exciting? Yesterday after my BIL's mass I came right home, didn't go to my Inlaws house afterwards b/c I was feeling like crap. So me and DD came home, put on the Incrediables and cooked a frozen pizza, we ate and watched tv, I kept knodding off LOL and my own snoring woke me up HAa!! Cindy how was the Fair ?? Letmesee....today is church and then home to sleep and clean, laundry and cook. Where is everyone today, come on folks, I see you lurking but not stopping in to say hello !!

go to the chat room its on the blue bar at the top

Been fat since I'm 6 years old. My highest weight was 300+, lowest 150 lbs. I can lose it, I just can't keep it off. I'm heading back up to 300 and tired of the fight, I need help!!

Happy Belated Birthday John

I was of normal size about 8 years of my life...but I didn't know I was of "normal size" I thought I was fat. I am 5'10" and weighed 150 lbs. I thought that was to fat....sigh. I remember walking out of work one day with this girl and some guy drove buy and smiled, looked her up and down like crazy. I said WHOAH did that guy just check you out. She said don't be funny, he was looking at you. I was like yeah, right! I could not accept the fact that some one smiled at ME! I felt like I was 300 lbs at 150 lbs. This time, when I'm at a "normal" weight, I'm gonna smile back instead of looking away

Congratulations Wendy Here's a big hug for you ***BIG HUG** Just remember these few weeks ahead are not permanent, you'll be enjoying dinner with your family real soon and loosing weight to boot !! Hang in there sweetheart. HUGS !!!

Thanks Dylansmom, Chichi and Glo.....its really niece getting to know you all. I had a lot of fun in chat w/you

I say highlight it, get some of your natural color in it all the way around, have the honey blond and the chocolate brown mixed together. The first time I decided to have my hair highlighted was when I was 39. I love it and its 3 years later. I get so many complements that the blond highlights brighten my face. The only reason I would stop getting it highlighted is because of $$$ Its $110.00 each time I go and thats not including tip. But don't do the fat lines, do the thinner ones, it looks more natural especially when growing it out.

Hope your having a wonderful day !!

Thats retarded !!! any weight loss has got to be better than gaining or no weight loss. I'm sorry this is happening to you Beanie, but I'm glad your fighting them. You go girl
