I feel exactly the same way.

I'm happy to see that you have returned! Best of luck to you. *hugs*

Congratulations, Audra!

All recent posters have been added!! It's so wonderful having some new friends on myspace.

At 6 months, I was down 64 pounds. Good luck to you!

I used to occasionally crave pastries/brownies/cake type sweets pre-banding. Now, I would much rather have a bag of microwave popcorn. Every now and then I'll treat myself to a yummy raspberry white chocolate cookie from Joe Mugg's or just pop in a few Jelly Belly jellybeans or M&M's.

Major league baseball games are even better!! I saw one of the subway series playoff games (Yankees vs. Mets) when I used to live in New Jersey. That was a hoot!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Doesn't it feel wonderful?? I reached it on Monday and I was elated!! Good for you, my dear. *hugs*

The one I buy at Sam's is Body Fortress just like the one at Wal-mart, only in a bigger container. I haven't tried any other kind from Sam's Club.

Added! BTW, you're absolutely beautiful!

I have a glass of wine every now and then.

I beg to differ, my dear! And, you're very welcome.

WOW....you're GORGEOUS!!!

Indeed!! LOL @ Wonderwoman!!

You've been added! I'm also sending you a private message.

Cool! I love baseball. Who did you see? My husband and step-son went to a New Orleans Zephyrs (minor league) game last Friday. I had some yummy :popcorn::pop2: too! They set off fireworks every Friday night after the games. It was fantastic and rivals a lot of 4th of July celebrations I've seen.

That's a great organization. If I had professional attire, I would certainly donate it. However, I work from home so my wardrobe is EXTREMELY casual.

Yeah, Ross is great. Unfortunately, you're unable to purchase items onilne. And, thanks! :biggrin1:

I bought the GAP jeans at, go figure, the GAP! *wink* I didn't know they had size 20 either but I went in there on a whim and - BAM - there they were. They are soooooo comfortable too. I bought them on sale for $29 (regular price $58) and wish they were on sale again because I'd go buy a size 16. I bought the Polo jeans at TJ Maxx. Do you have one there? I also find a lot of cute clothes at Marshall's and Ross. I do have to say that my favorite and most comfortable jeans NOW are Levi's 518 Super Low Boot Cut with flap pockets. They are a junior size 17 and are starting to get loose on me. I bought them at Goody's for $26.99. I definitely plan on going back for a size 15 when these get too big. You can order the regular pockets 518 Super Low Boot Cut jeans online at www.goodysonline.com - just go to Juniors and click on Levis. They also sell l.e.i. jeans, which are also cute and comfortable. I also have a pair of size 16 Levi's 518 shorts that are extremely comfortable. I bought them at Ross for $12.99. Whew!! Did I type enough??!!??

MWAH!! You're beautiful, Susan (inside and out). Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even yourself!! *smack*

:biggrin1: That picture was taken a few years ago and I crack up every time I see it. I didn't see any extra chins, my dear. Remember, we are our own worst critics!! *hugs*

Dr. Oh is the only surgeon performing lap band for this program? If so, that's odd. Edit: nevermind, I see that there is another surgeon - Myur Srinivasan Srikanth, MD.

You have me blushing like crazy over here. Thank you so much, Telly. You're very beautiful yourself!
