Also the magic number is 19119

Ok the hint is in the last line of my last post. The end of the name is what you call a grown up boy.

Hello again! Just got my computer back from the Geeks! That lightning strike got us bad. Anyway since I last talked to any of you, we sold our house. It was showed (that doesn't sound right) 5 times and someone in the neighborhood made us an offer very close to the asking price! Woo Hoo! Betsy, I wondered if you know them. They just sold their house on Vantage View. Sorry about your health issues, but that doc of yours nailed me too. Guess what...I joined Weight Watchers--hope it helps. I hate to give their name online. When you respond I'll give you a clue to their name if you are in to playing games:) Also, we are in the process of moving--the closing is set for Aug 15 so we need to get with it. There is still some unfininshed stuff at the new house.

Hi there, I just got back online. I guess we had a lightning strike on Sat and we lost phones, modem, and garage door openers? Weird...and we are trying to start the moving process. I'm not sure I can make it. Don't wait for me. Hopefully I'll get life back in good order soon.

I just found this thread! :clap2: I'm feeling quite guilty :embarassed:only losing 51 pounds since my surgery on 10/16/06, but I think it's going to motivate me. I need to lose 35 more to reach my all time goal. Are you guys doing some special diet to lose this fast? I know the last 2 months I've really been slipping up. I've gone back to bad habits of snacking and eating sweets. Any good tips out there??? :help:

Yes on the Tai Chi. I'm working on it. We keep Lindsey every Thursday (my granddaughter) and she has a lesson at 7:30pm. I've just got to see how to work that out. Are you going Betsy? How about Barbara--or are 3 lessons a week too much. You are probably way advanced by now. Suzanne--sure would like to see you there. Thanks for keeping us updated on your condition. Hope you are feeling better. Has anyone mentioned that tomatoes are high in potassium--most people don't realize they have as much as bananas.

That's a great idea Betsy. I felt so lousy I didn't even think of calling. I hope you can catch Barb. Next week has to be better. Thanks

Not feeling well today. Had a bad experience at lunch. Now on liquids only till tomorrow.

I want to meet yall tomorrow for dinner--Jade Palace, what time?

Hey Guys, I just checked in and realized this site has stopped notifying me that there are new messages. Is that happening to anyone else? 2 questions--where is Jade Palace and what is EGD???

Suzanne, I'm so sorry to hear about your "babies". One of my "babies" is a Lucy too. Let us know how she is doing and how you are doing too. I hope Duke comes back. It's the saddest thing to lose a pet--who ever said it is right, they are family.

I want to make progress too Barb. Let's go for it. See ya soon.

No I haven't Betsy. I'm not sure if I can commit with this crazy house building. Do you know when it will take place? I'm so out of the loop. I had a fill today. I'm now 2.6 and on soft food for 48 hrs. I hope I start losing again. How are you doing? I really thought we'd be moving, but the brick layer and the shutter guys and the painters...oh my. It just won't end.

Bikergrammy--glad you liked the pics. I just eat oatmeal for breakfast--not very exciting:( Barb, the group pic was good--you all looked happy:) Betsy--has someone already said this... Soon it will be-- Dome Dome on the Range! I have a diet question--Do any of you have regularly scheduled snacks between meals like fruit or yogurt?

I never got used to not having a mouse. I plug one into the laptop. I don't know the topic--I just felt the need to go after reading the book. Maybe I'll rejoin weight watchers--I need some accountability. Glad you liked the pics--hope I get more soon. I just looked at the domes-very interesting...can't wait to see it in person. That's a great idea about the book being the topic.

Betsy, do you think you'd be in any mood to go to Dr Spivak's meeting tonight?--I'll drive. Just think about it. Let me know later

To see 3 pictures of the bride and groom go to Walter Van Dusen Wedding Photographer and go to bottom of opening page and click on numbers 3,4,& 13

Is anybody coming to the meeting in Humble???

Monday sounds good to me too for our get together. Sorry about finding out about free Tai Chi a little late in the game. Congrats from me too Barb on the success you are having with your banding! That new books says it takes 3 years to get the full weight loss, so I'm sure you'll get to your goal. Hope to see all Monday!

Great Cyndie! This will be fun and free! Are you still cowgirl shooting or dressing:)? I'm the one that my husband was wanting to join SASS.

I'll come next week. I just had a bad time eating fish at Cedars Landing. I got a little PB action. This is the second time:( Glad you are getting back to your old self. Don't overdo Tai Chi till your sure. Sounds like you have a great connection with the Chiro.

Oh my gosh Betsy, I'm so shocked to hear what all has happened with you. Broken vertebrae! Compressed discs! I have missed your posts, but I just thought you were laying low with symptoms from the Lupas--not to make light of that condition. I know how debilitatling it can be. I can't believe you'll be back to exercise so soon--but you are a trooper. I'm trying to decide if I should get a fill this Thursday or wait till next week. I definately need one but I have a friend spending all day Friday and Saturday. I don't want to open up about the band to her. You take care of yourself.

I forgot the most important part of the book!!! The doc has had the surgery himself! Good for you Bikergrammy! I fell off the wagon into the ditch on my husbands Bday not even mine:( I'm happy for you, and I've climbed back up out of the ditch.

Hi Friends, just an FYI...If you haven't read "Fighting Weight" by Khaliah Ali...you ought too. She's Mohamed Ali's daughter and she's been banded. She wrote this book with her surgeon and it tells the whole story. Much of it is her experience but her doctor writes a good bit of it. I wish our doc's would have read it. We would be much better informed by now if they had. She went from 325 to 150 and I think she's 5'7'' or 5'9''. Anyway I found it so helpful. I didn't know it takes us about 3 years, to get the total weight loss. It talks about fills and how much and when we should get them. What to eat and when. Lot's of things I'd never heard. I got it at Barnes and Nobles.

Join! Betsyjane. A protein shake is not like a candy bar or ice cream. You are in the club:) That would make 3 of us. I have a big challenge. Tomorrow is my hubby's Bday. I can do it! Right???
