Glouc, Lulu, Beth.. I agree with you. IMO, MJ is a child predator. Where there is smoke there is fire. I loved his music but he ruined that for me all he morphed into his "Bat-Sh$t crazy child predator" phase.

Congrats NurseMelly!! Awesome news!

PJTP: My mother is having angioplasty tomorrow for a seriously clogged abdominal aorta as well as the femoral artery in one of her legs. If they cannot get it cleared that way they will have to do abdominal surgery. My mom says she is going to die as she had a dream that her mother told her that she can come and sleep with her. I had a panic attack thinking about losing my mom. I wish I had the money to go to Texas to be with her. This seriously sucks.

BethinVA and EbonyRose - I am sending out good vibes, prayers and thoughts for your job interviews today!!! You both are terrific and anyone would be incredibly foolish for not snapping you up in a New York minute!!!

Yay Gigi!! Doesnt it feel so good??!!?? I cannot beleive how I moved around with that extra 100 pounds!! I see you are from Brooklyn! One of my goals is to go the NYC! I was there once for a show at the Radio City Music Hall. THe show was great but I would love to spend more time getting to know the city. Hey Tammy! Good luck with your surgery! You will be skinny before you know it! :smile2: Just exercise! Find something you love to do that gets your body movin!!!

Hi Willowcat! I see you are in Colorado Springs!! That is where I lived for 18 years! I miss the Springs sooo much!! Congrats on your recent surgery! Time will fly and soon you will be where I am! My size 12's are a little baggy this morning! Yay! I cannot believe I am in a size 12 and now it looks like I can move to a size 10 soon! I still have quite a bit to lose but I am getting there. Keep as active as you can - do things you love! I am dancing and riding horses as much as humanly possible! hahaha If you are on Facebook send me a request! I do not make my band public but I do post about my crazy silly life!

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!!

Yay Beth!! I am also happy you got rid of your printed tees! :thumbup: I have bags and bags of clothes to sell on eBay too! I am so sorry for your friend! Take care of yourself, it is difficult being a caregiver. I have taken care of two cancer patients. My girlfriend had ovarian cancer and my sister with breast cancer. My band is also very tight and I suspect it is due to stress. I am not going to get an unfill since I can still get water/liquids down easily. I talked to my dr. and I am going to wait it out. Good Luck with the job interview!! A brazillian - you are very brave!!! No Way!! :clap:

That is awesome Susan!! I am sorry about your marital problems. I have been there and know the difficulties! {{{hugs}}} I am doing well with my band but am so happy to read about the sleeve in case I need it! I will not gain the weight back!!

Went to see my surgeon today. Things are going well. I haven't had a fill since March. Lost 9 pounds last month! I am down 102 from my highest! I cannot believe that I have lost that much! I have a lot more energy. I can really notice the increase in that department. I am wearing a size 12 pants! I hope to be in a size 10 next month! I have increased my exercising. I have started taking horse back riding lessons again. I need to work on my strength but so far it is a dream! I love riding horses again! I have also bought a bosu ball and some inline skates. I am on the move!!!

I want your job!!! PJTP: Went to see the dr today. Down 9 pounds since last month. No fill again - been steady at this fill since March. Down 83 pounds since surgery - 102 pounds from my highest. I can hardly remember being so big - which is a good thing! I hope you all are doing well! Ebony - Good Luck on the jobs! I hope you get the one you want. Beth - I hope you hear something sooooon!!!

Hi Everybody! Just popping in to say hello and see how everyone is doing. I am doing fairly well. I am considering getting a little unfill at my appointment tomorrow. My band has been very tight for two months. I find that I am eating mostly soup, fish and other soft foods. I was tracking my calories for a few days and found that without my protein shake I am only eating around 500 calories. I make it up to around 1000 cal with my protein shakes (adding peanut butter).The weird thing is that although I am exercising fairly regularly I am not losing very well.

Yes, I will call you. I would like to play as although I got rid of that Starlet I am still carrying her 47 pound chihuahua around and I have got to get rid of that beeoch too! hahaha

Sure! I have my exercise class from 5 till 6 but will be home after. :smile2:

Hi Fabulous Forties! I have not posted for awhile! I thought I would say hello and see how everyone is doing. I am doing great! I am down 93 pounds and have started taking horseback riding lessons again! I am so flippin happy I have my band!

PJTP: I just updated my ticker and I have lost 93 pounds or the equivalent to one Hollywood starlet!

Hi Everyone! I wanted to post to give you all a pep talk! In January I thought I was never going to make it to Onderland! I was stalled around 205 for weeks! Now in May I am down to around 185! Keep moving!! You guys can do it!!

I just bought the GoWear Fit which is very similar to the BB. I received it on the 6th and so far I really like it. The only problem is I have a blister on my arm under where it was sitting yesterday. I moved the band down and hope I am not going to have skin issues from wearing it so much. My skin is pretty sensitive. :smile2:

Hiya Everybody! I hope you are all doing well. I am doing ok. I got a 20% paycut yesterday and will not have Fridays off. I am thinking about what to do with myself at my new "Girl Friday" office ~ my kitchen table. hahaha I am trying to remain positive although the stress yesterday sent me looking for a chocolate milkshake. I am waging my finger at myself now...

Baby Shane Update: Shane is doing much better. He is off the IV, feeding tube and lights. They have found a formula that he can tolerate so things are looking up! They told my sister today that they think he was born much earlier than 37 weeks - more like between 32 and 35. They say he may get to come home on Friday if he continues to progress as he has yesterday and today. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

Little baby Shane Update - He is still in NICU. He has been put back on the feeding tube and the IV restarted. He has gone from 8 lbs 4 oz to 7 lbs 14 oz. They have determined that although he is large because of my sisters gestational diabetes he is actually a premature baby. He does not have a suck reflect yet. If you rub his cheek he does not turn his head looking to suckle. His bilirubin is down which is great news. It was so high they checked him to brain damage. Thank you all again for keeping him in your thoguhts and prayers. He will not be going home until he is feeding and showing weight gain.

OK, so Easter dinner Crab cakes mashed potatoes booze.......perfect!

I don't care - we can do either at anytime! hahaha I am so flexible! Thanks LuLu! I wonder if Beth would mind if we have Pear Martinis and mashed potatoes for Easter dinner??? I am loving having Gladys come over and clean! This will be her second visit. I work full time and go to school in the evenings so that is a great excuse not to do housework!

Good night BJean and Beth! It was fun chatting but I have to get up in about 5 hours to work! toodles!
