[Dragonwillow 0]

Ah Diane, do try to make it...and if you can't just let me know. I can do lunches usually tues-wed-thurs easily. Mondays and Fridays I work.

Ewww love some of the pamper chef stuff....garlic press is wonderful, there is a measuring thing I want...but haven't gotten yet. And I love the stone wear stuff.

Alright Dianne you told me today you would see me tomorrow. So PLEASE don't back out. We need you as much as you need us.

I am so excited that Jennifer if coming tomorrow....a new face how exciting....

Ok it's wasn't a pampered chef party. It was a Towncraft party....pots and pans. They cooked dinner and that was it. He wants to set up an appt to come and talk to me about these pans. Go figure...but hey I got a free meal out of it and if I have 2 other couples over for dinner I can get 2 free pans....anyone.

Alright just wanted to share...can't wait to see everyone tomorrow...

We've been to one of those "fun" pots parties, and we spent way too much money. They are great pots, but we went wwwaaayyy overboard!

I REALLY wish I could go tomorrow! It's not that I want to skip my little boy's party or anything, I just want to do both! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until February. I hope you all have a great time!

Ok this thread has been quite for a couple of days...guess we were all talked out from lunch. haha

Hubby and Curtis are finally feeling better but this morning I wake up w/ a sore throat. UGH....

Dianne thanks for the clothes...EVERYTHING fits and actually could be a little big so I think I am finally on the move down to an 18/20...I can get some 18 jeans on but I just can't breath that great. Dianne I want to hear from you today...so please call me or email me. Ok.

It was great seeing everyone saturday...I felt like I didn't get to talk to everyone...Kathy hope your doing good....I see Karen through out the month so I know she is doing ok. Angie...you looked good...and you seemed to recover from the gall bladder pretty good.

Alright need to get to work...have a very happy Monday... I will chat later.

Kim sorry to hear about your throat. That isnt a fun feeling. My Daughter just got through with strep throat and it was a pretty bad case, but she is much better now.

Glad to hear Curtis is feeling better. Hopefully them tubes will help him out a bunch and he will get to start hearing better and start talking clearly. I wonder if that what my middle child needed but she didnt get that many ear infections. She talks a lot better now but it took her a while. Who will ever know?

Thanks for the compliment Kim. I do feel so good since I got that organ out of me. I recovered really well and to look back on it I think I was silly to be so nervous about it.

Thanks for a great lunch on Saturday everyone. I had a great time and it was so good to see all my shrinking friends! Keep it up you all are doing great and we all looked so much happier.

XOXO,

Angie

...I felt like I didn't get to talk to everyone...Kathy hope your doing good....

I know!!! You all were waaaay down at the other end of the table. I almost wish we had a room, where we could circle up after lunch and go around, give updates on everyone. LOL

I guess that's what Chat is for, but it's nice to talk to everyone while we are there. I really enjoy our lunches.

Melissa e-mailed me the individual pic of me she took from her camera. Sad to say, I was horrified and dissappointed. Kind of like when I'd see pics of myself (such as the "fat pics" I posted on my NSV thread...ya'll remember the ones...) and I'm shocked because I don't realize how bad I look!

Okay, so I look BETTER than I did, but it's the kick in the butt I need to get hard on myself with my diet and exercise. It has recently sunk in that I have been banded almost 10 !!! months. Where did the time go?!

I want to have lost 50 pounds by my one year bandiversary. So I got to get crackalackin' on the next 17 pounds. I weighed an even 190.0 this morning. Ugh.

17 more pounds. 17 more pounds. Gotta make the donuts. 17 more pounds.

OK folks, it's unusually quiet at work today, so I'm sneaking on when no one is looking.

I too thoroughly enjoyed lunch on Saturday!

John and I bowl on our church Winter league. I had the best series I've ever bowled in all my life. My high game was a 230 (295 after my 65 pin handicap)! I've never bowled that well before ... ever! I don't know if I'll ever be able to do it again, but it was a ton of fun!

Glad curtis is feeling better, Kristen went to the doc this morning and its officially the flu....We have went through the gament of illnesses this January...its got to stop. Yeah on getting into a 18, I have a couple of 20's I found that if anyone wants give a yell.

Kathy your picture doesn't look bad. Geez...we are all too critical of ourseleves. I couldn't see a difference till I found a old picture and put it side by side with saturdays. The difference is still not shocking unfortantly, but I can tell at least.

Karen, I still have yours and Dianes picture I think to email...Kim I wish we had of gotten you before you left. Send me a message you guys with a email I can send the pictures and I'll send them along.

I've discovered how to edit and do the side by sides so if anyone wants to put a side by side together for them let me know.

No kidding? I'll post that pic if you will put a REALLY fat pic beside it! Hey, didn't some of you others take a pic of me? email them! Maybe the other pics have a better angle? LOL Here's hoping, teehee.

[gordonfamily3 0]

Oh Kathy girl you look great!!!! I want to see those pictures.

Melissa I saw the one on the picture thread and you look great....keep up the good work girl...

Hey someone should add our last picture to the picture thread in the lounge....it's a really big thread..

Alright have a good night...chat tomorrow.

[Dragonwillow 0]

Kathy just email the pictures you want to use and I'll do it. Its not that hard, its kinda fun.

Thanks Kim, It helps to have the side by side to see the difference, it hard to see when we look in the mirror.
