I'm in! I was one of those that didn't get anything in the last one : -(

I did "ok". I ate some crackers w/brie. Potato's. I fell down with dessert... I ate a piece of cake with pineapple, sf vanilla and coolwhip. The important thing is I didn't eat any candy! That was a major NSV .... We'll see tomorrow when I get on the scale..

There was a choice of Happily Single, What happened to Happily MARRIED! I have the best guy..... I have found my soulmate in my second husband and we have been married for 13 years.

Ok. If I am going to arrange any kind of get together.... 1. What State and City are you from? 2. Pat, where are we traveling to? 3. Besides me, who exactly is interested in a Jersey Girl get together? 4. If you are interested, is there a date that absolutely will not work for you? I am such a "planner" so this will be a ton of fun for me.... I have to go take the "dog" out.... LOL I am still cracking up! kisses,

LMFAO Eileen: It is a stuffed dog! I am still laughing. We can't have dogs where we live in florida so he won't let me break the rules. OMG... I am still laughing

You go girl! You look great! All that hard work is paying off!

Happy Bunny Day to You..... Off to church, but wanted to say to my friends ..... Have a wonderful day! I missed you guys yesterday. I asked DH for a dog and he got me one! I was soooo excited. She seems to be very quiet though? hum.... what's with the stuffing coming out it's a**? Hummm LOL love you guys,

Ok... We have a location! Now for a date! Who's in? :clap2:

Hi Everyone... Yes it is me. I feel like I am reading these days and not responding! Pat: My granddaughter is six and she loves clothes and barbie's. I combined that and got her a pink girlie girl dress and barbie sandles to match. She also loves those bead kits to make necklaces and bracelets. Good luck gramie! Oh yeah Pat, What time do you want us all at your house? Since Anne hasn't come through with the farmhouse.... a weekend riding jet ski's sounds fun:clap2: Sherry.... I am so sorry you are having a hard time, but after reading your post I realized that you just needed to vent. Basically you know yourself and your family so well that you have the answer.....You are an incredibly strong and spiritual person and that will get you through this. Take care of yourself... that is the important part! Eileen: Come on, my house is small! I hate cleaning! I still haven't learned, I still invite all to my house.... it is so much fun. Doesn't matter now... I moved so the only one near is DD and the grandkids. Bene: Don't be jealous... It makes me feel bad : - ( LOL I don't know what happened. I struggled with excersize and now I love it. Go figure! Sherry: I moved to South Florida last July from Connecticut. I love it here! The sun does so much for my disposition : - ) To be able to wake up to the beach everyday makes me very happy. Anne: 78 in Michigan? Wow. Here in Florida is only 80.... Your kids sound so adorable and I can picture you sitting there staring at her with stars in your eyes as she eats that pasta.... Sometimes I wish I could go back there with my boys, but then I would have to do the teenage years again and I would rather have root canal's on ALL my teeth! LOL Patty: I am so sorry you have to take the money out of your retirement to pay for the "nasty deed". That sucks, but the sooner you get your life back the better. Betty: I laughed when I read you post... If you had today off you would be running around like a mad lady so you are probably better off at work ....it is more restful for you! Good luck with DH birthday party. How many people? Well, got to go ... yes I am going to the beach otherwise I will have to clean my house! Church tonight and water aerobics in the morning. Someone asked.... the class is one hour long. kisses,

Hey Girls (& Randy).... LOL Happy Thusday. Just got home from the gym.... I love that water aerobics.... I feel so good afterwards : - ) Good day today. Nothing really new. Looking forward to the weekend... going to the beach! Easter we are going to church in the morning, DD singing in the choir..... going to the beach and then to DD for dinner. Should be fun. I wish I could be with my boys, but maybe another year. Anne: I used to love the easter egg hunts with my boys. I did one every year with my nephews so this year I mailed them eggs with candy and money. My brother did the hiding of the eggs for me in CT. My nephews were thrilled. I love allrecipe.com. I also like going to the foodnetwork. It has all the cooking shows. Sherry: Congrat's on the permit!~ You are so brave... I can only ride a scooter and that scares me! Glad your fill went well. Let us know how the restriction goes.... Eileen: I love the cheesecake factory. I don't think I could order a meal now, it would have to be an appetizer. I am very tight! I have to eat very slowly and can't really handle meat. Have a nice Easter! Kelly: I hope you are doing better :nervous I have added you and your husband to the prayer list. Please take care of yourself and the rest will fall into place. I know when things like what you are going through happen, it is so hard for me not to turn to food! We are here for you girl!!! Patty: 6 HOURS ... OMG! Why were you sitting for 6 hours? Did I miss something? You are such a good MOMMY! Pat: Good for you... a good attorney will take you a long way! I can't believe that "wack-job" !!!! Those poor kids. Kids never deserve to be brough into adult situations. I am sorry you are having such a hard time lately... your son is very lucky to have you as him mom. If I was in trouble you would be first on the call list : - ) Rene: I don't know... I think you should run off with that waiter ... just seeing the picture would make me 'RUN' .... lol What are you doing for Easter? No chocolate allowed in my house. I am giving DH a basket, but no candy.... I would eat it! Cindy: How you doing girl? What are you doing for the long weekend? Are you on break next week? Your Dad sounds like my husband with our grandkids... he loves to spend time with them.. even when I have had enough... patience why, he comes through... Well, got to go to bed. I am getting up at 5:30 this week... Kisses,

Looks like the majority wins..................6 weeks.

I just flew to NY for a family "thing" this past weekend. None knew about the band and they haven't seen me since getting banded. Because I am losing at a good rate, but not like GBP, I told them "diet and excersise". My Dad told me he was proud of me! It was a great experience.

Creative is the key word! Where there is a will, there is a way..... I took the money out of my 401k. My husband is a tax man and he is putting it in our tax return this year as unreiumbursed medical expenses. It was SOOOOO worth it! I was scared because what would happen if we took the money out and I proceeded to eat my way through my band? Well, I must have been ready because I have lost 46 lbs and I go to the gym 4 times a week! Good luck. I hope you find your way to your solution..............

Hey Girlie Girls..... Pat: Wow! Talk about a sick chick! I am so sorry you are going through this sh*t, but doesn't she know who she is dealing with? You could and will outsmart her. I hope your son is done with this one? Kelly: Is it nerves with all the stuff going on? I had rashes and itching before my move to florida and I took walgreens brand alergy medicine and it cleared it right up. (((hugs))) your last post sounded sad.... are you ok? We love ya:) Eileen & Bene: I want to come play! I am so jealous : - ( Randy: Call the doctor.... Eileen is right, you need to take dizziness seriously. Anne: Size 18!!! Yahoo!!! way to go..... Cindy: That estate stuff can really tear families apart! I am sorry you are going through this .... It makes the situation even sadder:cry Darcey: I am glad you had fun in Chicago. I was there a couple of times on business... the restaurants are amazing! I got my hair highlighted also... I have red hair and they put golden highlights in... Rene: I love the cheesecake factory! Haven't been in a long time... I'm scared of the place!!!!!!! Patty: A phsy exam with a cute doctor ... what a way to go!!!!! Glad it went well. Eileen: I envy you working in your garden....I miss that so much about my house. Just about now my stuff is starting to come out of it's winter home. Is your life still crazy? You have so much energy.... I wish I could bottle it. Well, I'm sure I missed someone.... If I did I will catch you next time. One thing that happened last week was my son Kyle broke up with his live in girlfriend Melissa. They had been together for 5 years. He is finishing up his junior year in college in Boston. I was very sad for him this weekend. I will miss Melissa... she was part of our family, but I have to respect my sons decision..... So, I got up at 5:30 and went into work at 7 am this morning. I went to the gym tonight and did my water aerobics... and now I am off to bed.. Kisses,

Hey there.... It is hard to go away... You miss to much! I came home from work yesterday, took a nap on the couch from 4 - 6 and then got up, walked to the bedroom and went to bed for THE NIGHT! Didn't get up until this morning! I have not read up on everyones adventures, but I will ... Later. We got to NY on Friday afternoon and my cousin picked us up. We went out to Long Island and got ready for the party the next day. My cousins rented out a restaurant for my two cousins 50th birthday party. My sons drove down to LI with my dad. It was so GREAT to see my boys. Everyone commented on how good I looked! My dad told me he was proud of me! That was big! We flew back to Florida on Sunday and arrived about 1:30 in the morning. YUCH>>>> hence the sleeping yesterday... I had to get up at 5:30 this morning and be at work by 7 am. I just got home and I have to clean up the house and get ready for water aerobics. I will catch up with y'all later.... kisses,

Good Evening.... I have such a busy week. I am working, excersising and getting ready to fly to NY friday for a family party. Of course I have to have my hair and nails done! I am so excited. I am seeing my dad, my brother, my two sons and all of my cousins. Most people don't know I had surgery and haven't seen me since my heaviest. Sorry I haven't been around.... Patty: Wow! CONGRAT'S! This site really does get you a job! Watch out, it may get you>>>> Bubb: Sorry about the STXH. Been there done that. Have faith, It will all be ok and then you will be able to move on with your life. Don't let him hold you hostage! Cindy: I am glad you have a new medication for your migranes and I hope it works! I know what you mean .. ever since the clocks changed, I have not wanted to get up! This week I have to be in at 8 and next week 7AM! WTF!!!! Well, it is only for two weeks so I can cover someone on vacation... Kelly: I know it is tough to be patient because I am there with you. I get frustrated when I only lose a pound a week, but I know that is better when it is slow and steady... Just like sex! LOL Hang in there you are doing great. Darcey: I miss living under the same roof and my sons until I think about their "rooms". I hated opening those doors.... YUCH! Soccer socks... football pants... SMELLY EVERYTHING! LOL Eilleen: only you could turn a bad situation at work into something funny! Betty: Boy, I tired just listening about your weekend! Do you ever do nothing? Sherry: I hope this posts holds... LOL I love that I'm "shrinking". Rene: I usually save everything... after working on presentations and losing them, I learned my lesson. I guess I need to do that here. The low carb thing always works better for my system. Good luck. Pat: did I miss you? I know you were sick, but are you back? I'm sure I missed someone... If I did just know that I love ya! Good night all! I got to go to bed .... I work now you know! LOLOLOLOLOL Kisses,

Hi Jersey chicks... Just came up from beach and on my way to water aerobics. Yes, I worked today also.... LOL Will check you guys later. Kisses

Now aren't you little miss efficient? : - ) LOL Kisses,

Boy do I know how you feel! Been there done that! What it came down to was I was PBing and not giving it enough time to heal and eating solids and it happened again. Thanks to the patience of Penni and Delarla talking me through it, I got off the merry go round of PBing. I went on liquids for a full 3 days. Then I went on mushies for a full 2 weeks. I found that I WAS not chewing enough, I found I WAS eating to fast. I learned how MY BAND worked in MY BODY. It took some time, but I am now PB free and loving it. One suggestion that someone gave me, not sure who, I take a small bite, chewed the shit out of it, swallowed and I wait a full 2 minutes before I start eating. Sometimes a get tightness and that two minutes gives it enough time to clear and the rest of the meal is uneventful. good luck,

Ok... we need to find the "lost Posts" place on the website! That is where all those posts that we take our time, do personals and then they just go away! Why don't we ever lose the short ones? LOL I have done two in the last two days and gave up. Happy Sunday. I am cleaning today because we have our first non family dinner guests coming tonight. DH did a lot before I even woke up, bless his heart because he has to work today until 3. I just wanted to let you know that I am alive and well. I'll check back later.... Kisses,

Shanna, Oh girl... I am so sorry! We are right there with you. I don't know about anyone else, but when I hear stories like yours, it could be anyone of us! Have you stopped throwing up? I sure hope so! Let us know how you are : - )

When you were a teenager and your parents told you stuff over and over and over again? Then when you were older a light came on and it all made sense? Ok, Ok, lame! You could probably teach them a thing or two! LOL Come back and let us know all the new stuff of why I'm fat! lOL PS The pictures of the convention were great!

Oh, he is sooo cute! I am the mother of two boys. They are now 22 and 20. I HATED POTTY TRAINING THEM! Sorry, don't have any words of wisdom. Just keeping being consistant and it will happen. Good luck....
