Anita...Thanks! I hope all goes well too! I see that you guys are going to get socked with Snow...so hopefully my flight will be able to land!! (fingers crossed) Tied...good for you for getting a good deal on the cars!

Dynamo...Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he heals quickly! Mal...I'm with you on the bad eating lately! Really hoping the visit and fill will get my brain back on track, not to mention my body! Yes, I"m flying in on Wed. AM....have my appt. on Thurs at 10:30 I think. Then look forward to meeting you all at RR!

Steph...My bandiversary is next Sat....I'm ok w/slow losing too, as long as I keep losing!! ;=) BMan....oooo....Sounds like someone is SMITTEN! Glad to hear he's such a great match! Keep us posted!!

Marcy, I had my surgery last year and I didn't even bother to get the letter of necessity......I just deducted it! Didn't have any problems though! Glad you got it.... Kirsten

Congrats Munchkin on joining BandLand! Congrats Taynuh on your new bundle of joy...he sounds adorable!!! I can not WAIT to get my fill next week!! I've actually gained a few pounds this past month..NOT good! Even though I'm trying to watcch what I eat! UGH.....I guess thats what I get for waiting so long to get one (Haven't had a fill since MAY!) Can't wait to meet you all on the 13th!!! :Banane48:

BOO....I meant to say earlier I'm sorry you're feeling so depressed! Hopefully you have someone that is helping you sort out all your emotions and thoughts?? We're here for you though!!! Hang in there! BMAN...wow....almost at 100 pounds!?? Dayum!! I'm Jealous and so proud of you!!! Go Girl!!! It is so weird that my scale hasn't moved in months yet I'm fitting into smaller clothes! and its not like I'm even working out that much! STRANGE.... Steph...I get my fill a week from tomorrow....I can't wait! I need it so bad! Hope you have fun shopping!!

WE HAVE SNOW!!! Of course not enough to cancel school, so my boys are disappointed, but Hey, I love the snow! lol Claud...so sorry to hear about your Dad...i will definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers. So I went shopping yesterday and despite the fact that my scale says I'm up about 6 pounds from my lowest weight....I still was able to buy a size smaller than I last bought for my tops AND bottoms! I bought size 18 pants and size 14/16 tops!! I was sooo excited and then I even saved $150 on top of that so I was even doubly excited! I still don't know when I'm starting my new job, I'm guessing since today it Wed it'll be next week, but I'm taking a few days off to go to CO and get my fill, so maybe not til I get back? I'll keep you posted! Hope you all have a great day!

Steph....I'm not sure yet when I start, didn't hear from the recruiter today, but I will touch base w/her tomorrow. I'm hoping either Wed. or Thurs of this week. For xmas, I really want a wine rack, a new digital camera and Gift cards for new clothes of course! Sweet....YEAH!! Glad to hear you actually like running now! that is awesome! I went on a 4 mile hike this weekend and am still recovering, I can't imagine running! lol

Sweet...what GREAT NSVs!!! I went for a 4 mile hike yesterday and MAN am I feelin it today!! But...I'm just glad that I can get out there and do it and not die! LOL Guess what all.....I GOT A JOB OFFER!!! FINALLY!!!! It is a Temp to perm position, but it will be good b/c it's a long commute for me so I'll be able to try it out and see if I can handle it while still looking for something else, but I'll have income coming in!! YEAH!!!!! Thanks to all of you for the good vibes, thoughts and prayers!!! I'm sooooo happy and relieved! Now I can go xmas shopping!!! :confused: Hope you're all having a good weekend! back later...

So what did you respond to him in the email? Did you tell him he's a scumbag for hitting on you when he's MARRIED!??

Thanks Michelle!! I'll let her know she's allowed...She's totally supportive and was there for me after my surgery, so I know she'd love to hear all your experiences as well! On another note...O M G....just got some rice/chicken leftovers from dinner last night stuck...PAIN!!!! I had to spit it all back up...it wasn't even a lot! But I guess re-heated rice and chicken just does not want to go down! UGH!!!! Its times like these I wonder...DO I need a small fill or not!?? Its so frustrating!

BMan...did he say he was separated?? Its weird that he'd TELL you he's married yet still have the balls to ask you out!

Michelle, My sister lives in lakewood, so I guess I'll be coming from there. Would you guys mind if my sister joined us or should I tell her to find other plans? She doesn't want to intrude, so let me know... Look forward to meeting you all! Kirsten

Steph...the interview went OK, but of course I've become kind of jaded about the whole process and don't get my hopes up anymore. The company seems really good, but the commute would suck, but oh well....we will see! I'm hoping to get some feedback from the recruiter today or tomorrow. NAT...Welcome Back girl!!! Glad to hear you had a good thanksgiving and are still struttin your stuff!! I am going for a fill on the 13th..haven't had one since MAY and REALLY NEED ONE! Its weird though that although I can eat more, there are still things that just get stuck! Do you have that problem?? Transformer...I meant to tell you that my friend who offers online course material for homeschoolers has told me that he'd offer you a free semester if you want to check out the website its: cyberacademics.com. Let me know! Sweethot...did you get your Body Bug yet?

Ohhh.....DrewsLou, you know my weakness...French Onion Soup! YUM!!! Looks like we've already got a good crowd!! Can't wait to meet you all!!!!

Did I hear RR on the 13th!??? Wooo hooo!!! I'll be in town and getting my fill that AM so as long as they have soup, I'd love to be there and meet all of you!!

I'm here! I've got an interview today....the commute would suck, but the company seems great, so fingers crossed! Steph, you and I must be twins! I haven't lost anything either..but I'm finally going for my fill on the 13th, I can't wait! I hope it jump starts the scales again since I've been stuck for months! I did my xmas decorating (minus the tree) yesterday too....and am still feeling very BLAH....but I'm guessing its just b/c I'm depressed about being unemployed and am lonely. *Sigh* oh well.... Hope you're all getting your holiday shopping done! TTYL

What a difference Steph...you look HOT Girl! I'm going to have my sister take a 'during' pic when I go out to visit her in a few weeks...almost exactly 1 yr to the date of my bandiversary! stay tuned....it should be interesting b/c right now I don't see much difference from what I was a yr ago...but we'll see.

Boo...sorry to hear your week has been so stressful!! But glad to hear that you husband wants to fight for your marriage...I hope you guys can work it out! I had a great thanksgiving....ate too much, but didn't gain, am still stuck in the same spot as before...so REALLY looking forward to a fill in 2 weeks! Does anyone else get tighter during the week they have their period!?? Just curious.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!! I'm in Mass w/my folks and will check in once I get back! I'm so thankful for all of you!

Wow!! Seems like a bunch of you are having surgeries on the 13th! I hope they're in the afternoon b/c I'm getting my fill in the AM! LOL Good luck to both of you!!!

Claud...I work in Human Resources (benefits, employee relations, etc)....and I'm looking for something along those lines. Steph..SOOO sorry to hear about your friend! I have a friend who has terminal cancer despite several months of chemo and it just sucks! She is just barely 40! Hang in there..and just take this time to be thankful that you have your health and your family! As for Thanksgiving Dinner...we're having Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Yams, Cranberry sauce, and lots of pie and who knows what else! :scared: My Mom cooks so I don't worry about the menu! lol

Boo...So sorry to hear things aren't well at home. Yes, I absolutely belive that its possible for love to 'not be enough'. I've been there, done that. Some people just aren't capable fo giving us what we want and need....I pray that you figure out what's best for you and your kiddos! Hang in there....we're here for you! BMan...sorry to hear you're marine isn't coming into town, but I'm sure you'll have fun being lazy! I'm off to meet w/a recruiter today about hopefully some possible job opportunities. Please pray that I get a job soon! This is just getting ridiculous (and depressing)! :-(

Transformer...congrats on getting heat back!!! I'm sitting on my couch w/my blanket on just b/c I like to keep it cooler at night (helps me sleep), but its too cold while I'm watching TV BOO! wooo hooo!!! You looked INCREDIBLE!!!! And I"m so happy to hear it was a great trip! Can't wait to see your book on the shelves soon!! My weekend was busy but good! Although I"m so glad I'm going for a fill on the 13th! I went to a friends house that was doing a pre-thanksgiving dinner for friends and I ate an entire plate of food!! UGH!!! :=( No wonder I"m gaining weight!

Sounds like you guys had a great time at RR! I finally got an appt. for my next fill w/Dr. K on Dec. 13th! I fly in on the 12th and will stay w/my sister through Saturday the 15th. If you guys have any get togethers while I"m there, let me know and I'd love to join you! Looking forward to my fill....just in time for xmas and new years! Yeah!!!
