well we are having another military couple over for thanksgiving and we decided to do the usual, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, greenbeans, ect. But our DH's don't like any of it. so, since we are in Germany and everything is open, we are going to just order in Thai food and hang out

wow, cograts!! you are an inspiration for us newbies. Good tohear some positive

ok i love this thread!!! I get a little scared reading all the bad stuff, but this thread give me hope that I can do it too!!! Great job everyone!

Bradenton, Manatee county is home for me. We are in Germany for a few years though.

my dr didn't give me any info on taking vitamins. I currently take 6 vitamins a day well 7 if you count my iron. They are not chewable or anything. Should I be taking chewable vitamins after surgery? I also saw that some people take liquid vitamins?

lisa, just curious is there a reason? Maybe you know something I don't? I don't have any experience in the medical field.

yes, this has hurt us financially, we own a home in the states that we rent out and had to take a home equity line on it. We really couldn't afford another payment, but I am willing to sacrafice and cut out other things, ooh like eating out! that will save us some money. I am looking foward to buying new clothes, i have nothing because shopping is depressing.

congrats janet! it's going to be interesting watching all of us transform. should we post some before photos? mine is just my face, but I can do a real one.

Auntie Aud, I live in Spangdahlem! Well a village outside of it, between bitburg and spang on the B50. We have been here about 3 month and just love it! How did you like it?

would it be ok to crush the ones i take already. They are great vitamins and very potent, they dissolve immediately in a cup of water. Could I crush them and take them with yogurt or something?

yes, I am in germany, but I am an american. We are just stationed here.

angyl, Happy New Year to you, what a way to get started on that famous new years resolution of weight loss. this year you will be successful, and imagine the changes that you will see by the end of 07'. Congrats and good luck.

congrats! those are tough classes. I really like step but the more tired i get the less cordinated i become, lol!

I love Nora Roberts. I also love to read but I got away from fiction this year and decided that I would read as much personal develpment that I can get my hands on. Here are a few great one! Think and Grow Rich.. Napolean Hill The Cash Flow Quadrant..Roberty Kiyosaki Rich Women...Kim Kiyosaki How to Win Friends and Influence People...Covey The magic of thinking Big..david j. Schwartz Those are some of the great ones I've read recently. there just something about bettering yourself, to become who you were meant to be. To find your passion. I'm in love with creating myself now.

oh my gosh!! don't you hate when a dr. is freaking clueless!

gemini here!

Most dangerous man in the world, Bush? Hmm.. Guess Osama, Sadam, and those suicide bombers can't come close to Bush? Being a proud military wife, it will be interesting to see what happens to our forces now. In the past, democrats have cut down our forces and were stingy on pay. Now that sounds a little dangerous to me.

it will be like when I am pregnant, the only way i lose weight, I am full after a full bites and hardly ever hungry. we never went out to dinner because it was a waste for me, and if we did i just took a few bites of my husbands plate. This is going to be so great!

my date is December 4th! I can't wait.
