Good morning all. Thanks for the "PB" support! Yes, it sucked, but it is better. I was on liquids all day yesterday and didn't even excersise. Went to bed early. Sun is out and it is a beautiful day. I have water aerobics tonight. Congrat's on the excersise going on here on this thread! It is very motivating! Misery loves company! LOL Sherry: Yuch on the jury thing. I feel for the victom and family. Very hard : - ( Cindy: No migranes! That is great. Funny.... your countdown to the school year end. My friend is a teacher in CT and she does the same thing. Enjoy your couple of days child "free". As much as you miss her it is good for both of you. Kat: Eileen: LOL ... Miss "pantie" free woman! Glad you had a good time at the concert and you had a nice mothers day. How is the weather up there? I am arriving at WEsterchester airport next wed. Betty: How is life? I know, I know you are busy, busy! Aren't these food demons amazing? I think of food all the time. I don't know what I would do if I lost my band. Pat: How are you? DGS? DS? Looney exwife? We miss you and hope you are doing well. How was mothers day? Darcey: Glad you put your fears aside and joined. You will start to see the difference. The hardest part is to go when you don't want to. I hope hubby stays around for awhile. Bene: Way to go on the eliptical ... I can swim and swim. Ride my bike for miles, but that machine kills me! I give you a lot of credit Girl! Mary: Good luck with the lawyer. you are not alone. Many of us have been there. PB.... Yes, the potato thing. I usually don't have any problems, but the other night it kicked my a**. DH says there is no rhyme or reason to my band. You can't predict what is going to happen. He says it is like a woman. LOL Rebecca: I hope all goes well with the doc. I'm sure it will be fine. PB on the taters... LOL it is going around I guess. Kat: What is up with DH? ARe you waiting to see a doc or waiting for test results? I will continue to pray for you and him. Waiting is the hardest part. We are here for you.... ((((HUGS)))))) Patty: You have the patience of a saint. I know you will get your date soon. It is like going to a playground, but you can't play! When you finally get banded we are all going to celebrate! Oh, Cindy... Congrats on the WL. That is great. Sometimes the scale is our ((friend)). Keep up the good work. Ok, got to get back to work. DST going to Jamaica this weekend with boyfriend so we have the kids fri, sat and sun. I will have to take them somewhere fun. DH's back is still bad. He got a script for a MRI. Say a prayer. He had back surgery 6 years ago. So, lot's going on. Nothing in my control, so I will keep going on my journey and stay out of the drivers seat and God take the lead. kisses,

Just a quick note since I am work...... Had a bad pb last night. Steak! I cut it small and mushed it in with some potato. Didn't take long.... Yuch! I am not sure what went wrong... to fast, no chewing enough... don't know, but it was bad. DH brought me some water when I finished getting sick and went to bed. I was grateful I could keep the water down. I was worried that I damaged the band. but today it all seems ok. Anyway. Today is a new day and I am on liquids. KIsses, d

NO EXCERSISE YESTERDAY. Head down....... tail between legs! Had a BAD PB last night and after being very sick went to bed. I am just very grateful my band is ok. Today is a new day and I will be on my bike today for sure.

Megan, Wow... you really reinforced what a gift my band is! I am a food addict and will eat myself sick. I don't know exatly what I would do if I lost my band, but I do know I would have another WLS of some kind.

My Dear Darcey, You are not alone! I not only feel your pain... I walk in the same shoes! I am so sorry you in this painful place, but you are doing all the right stuff. Move a muscle.... change a thought. Look to the future and don't focus on the past. I know how hard it is to share your feelings, but don't you feel better? Big ((((HUGS)))))

I love the tankini suits, but I swim 4 or 5 days a week and like the one piece for excersise. I do believe after two children and huge wieght gains in my 30 & 40's I will forever be in a one piece! Unless I come into money for plastic surgery and loose a lot of the "fat" ....then I will wear a two piece!!! Always nice to dream!!!!! LOL

Telly...., your positive attitude is keeping me going! SOOOO, you better keep it up Girl! Kisses, d

Happy Mom's day! I rode my bike for 5 miles, swam 20 laps and did 50 crunchs. No ice cream for me Telly!

When I lost my mom 19 years ago I used to hate mothers day. I didn't have one why should I celebrate! For years it was a day filled with dread. One mothers day my little boy (now 23) said... " Mom don't cry... I know you don't have a mother, but you are our mother and we love you". Well, out of the mouths of babes! From that Sunday and every year after I did something to honor my mom, not morn her. I worked in my garden all day..... My mom and I used to love to work with the flowers. Then all through the summer I would see them bloom and I could smile and think of my her! Happy Mother's Day to us mothers and to the motherless daughters that you all find peace today!!!:clap2: I love ya.. Kisses,

I have been visiting your thread, but have not stopped in! I have to tell you that everynight when I DON'T want to excersise I think of TellyMelly! She just pops in my head .... scarey, but true! Telly, you are so motivated and I so want to be, so, I am faking it until I make it! So, last night when Telly was in my head.... I went for a 4 mile bike ride on the beach and a swim. Then I got back upstairs and ate a BIG bowl of icecream and then ate peanuts.!!!!!! UGH!!!! It is a new day. I will excersise today! I will NOT have icecream!

Thank you Salljo... same to you. When I lost my mom 19 years ago I used to hate mothers day. I didn't have one! For years it was a day filled with dread. One mothers day my little boy (now 23) said... " Mom don't cry... I know you don't have a mother, but you are our mother and we love you". Well, out of the mouths of babes!

Then all through the summer I would see them bloom and I could smile and think of my her! Happy Mother's Day !!!:clap2:

Happy Marshall Tucker Day!!!! LOL Have a great time Eileen..... Like you won't ... DUh!!!!!! WEnt for my bike ride - swim last night.... I was great! Came upstairs and sat and ate a BIG bowl of icecream and then had peanuts. W*T*F* Of course I blamed it on DH because he went food shopping and brought it into the house! It couldn't possibly be my fault! LOL Picking Grandkids up at school today and they are spending the night. I bought a canvas and paints. We are going to paint an abstract picture for my stepdaughter for mothers day. Sounds like a good idea and fun, but we'll see later when the little darling are getting paint all over gramies stuff!!!!!!:heh: Have a great day! I plan on it.... Kisses,
