Hey everyone,

Avilla, sorry to hear about your added stress - I'll put in a little extra prayer for you today.

Niecy, sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, that is a tough one, but we all know that is one of the reason's we decided to get the band - I know I want to be around to see my kids get married and have babies - and it is sad when someone dies too young.

Tann, as usual you are kicking butt and taking names.

Turner, nice to meet you.

And as for me, well I'm going on vacation with my girlfriends this week and I think the vacation mentality hit me a week early. This last week-end I was a little out of control. I gained one pound, so that gave me a reality check that even though I'm on vacation, I better not get too crazy or I'll have an extra 5 to 10 to lose next week. It should be interesting trying to be sensible while surrounded by my girlfriends who live to eat, drink and be merry!!

There are 13 of us going to St. Augustine, FL to relax and hang out at the beach and by the pool. I'm going to try and stay focused and not consume too much wine! I'll let you know next week how good or bad it was - at least with the band, I can't get too crazy.

Later,

I just posted some pics of me in the "before & after thread"

I am finally back at work and taking a few minutes to see how everyone is doing. The last several days have been really hard and still it doesn't seem real. :think Thanks everyone for your kind words.

You know, I realized so many things during Jeff's funeral. For one thing, he had to have an oversized casket and at that they still have a hard time getting him in. When you looked up at him during the service, his stomach stuck out and I felt so quilty because I was sitting there thinking, "I am so glad I won't have to have an oversized casket". Losing Jeff really made things hit home. I am SO VERY PROUD of all of us for taking this step to improve ourselves.

Tann--:love:I checked out your pics and all I can say is OH MY GOODNESS GIRL! :omg: You look absolutely amazing!! :wow2: You are doing so well!

I am going to get real humble on you now....I finally made my 100 lbs!!!!! I haven't been doing m/e and with TOM being here, it slowed my weightloss down but I am pleased to finally be there!!!:humble:I feel confident that I will reach twoterville if not this week, next! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!! :clap2:

Just one rule, always keep the weightloss at above 100:heh: NO SLIPPING BACK.

Thanks for the compliments. I just started a 3 day m/e today:nervous

TANN-:juggle: :Banane48: YOU LOOK GREAT!! NICEYRENEE- YOU LOOK AMAZING TOO! :wow2: I AM SOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS EASY TO FORGET HOW GOOD YOU LOOK UNTIL YOU LOOK BACK AT OLD PICTURES. I FEEL LIKE I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO GO. BUT EVEN THE 2 SIZES I HAVE DROPPED DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I AM NOT READY TO POST BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO'S, BUT I WILL BE IN A FEW MONTHS!!!!! I AM CLOSE TO MY 1ST GOAL OF 50LBS LOST. :clap2:

NICEYRENEE- I AM STILL PRAYING FOR YOU! :spider: ITS HORRIBLE TO THINK ABOUT, BUT EVEN IN DEATH WHEN YOU ARE THIS OBESE IT CAUSES PROBLEMS! I AM SO GLAD WE ALL DECIDED TO CHANGE OUR LIVES :becky:

AVILLA- HOW ARE YOU DOING? DID YOUR HUSBAND FIND ANOTHER JOB? I KNOW FINANCIAL STRESS CAN BE OVERWHELMING!:phanvan HANG IN THERE!

WELL, I GOT ANOTHER FILL LAST THURSDAY THANK GOD DUE TO IT'S THAT TOM:myscared: I THINK I COULD EAT ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T BITE BACK!:hungry: THANK GOD FOR THE BAND OR I WOULD EAT MORE THAN I ALREADY AM. I HAVE TO CONFESS I ATE A HUGE BOWL OF ICE CREAM LAST NIGHT WHILE I DID LAUNDRY :drum: I AM FEELING

TOO SICK TODAY TO EAT ANYTHING :sick MAYBE IT WILL EVEN OUT.

"PAM"

TURNER it is very nice outside lately, I need a beating because I have not been walking in about 2 weeks. I have Church tonite but I will do some walking tomorrow evening, I promise:biggrin1: Oh thanks for the compliments. It was real hard for me to post that fat ugly picture, but my DH said I should do it to give other encouragement especially to the ones of us who weighed 350+.

[tann 2]

I've been at 247 for 4 days in a row, what gives:help: This is kinda new to me. This is day 2 for me on the m/e. Hopefully I see a lose in the morning:rolleyes:

[niecyrenee 2]

Thank you everyone for the congrats! :hug: It feels so good to be able to say, I lost 100 lbs! And then I got the scale this morning and I weighed 302. :scales: 3 lbs. till twoterville!! YIPPEE!! :thumb: If I don't make it today, which may very well happen because losing 3 lbs. in one day is fairly normal for me on m/e, then I will stay on m/e tomorrow and I am certain I will make it! :biggrin1: I am always leary of saying I'm certain about something because that's when it doesn't happen but I do feel good about this one. This means if I reach 299 this week, I will have reached my Memorial Day goal a little over 2 weeks early! :rockon: What a rush!

Tann--I know exactly what you mean about posting those before pics. Even though that's not where we are anymore, it's still hard to look at and let everyone see. Your DH is so right about encouraging others, and you are very good at it! :love: I hope you see a lose in the morning. Maybe it has stalled for a few days and you will get on tomorrow and you'll have a 4 lb. lose or something! That would be fantastic! A girl can always dream, right?

Turner--Almost 50 lbs!!! :gluck: I'm sure you'll fill will help a lot and get those pounds coming off. Isn't TOM horrid! UGH! I will confess right along with you. While it was TOM for me, I ate ice cream...two days in a row! :faint: It's like I couldn't stop myself. It was so good but that really helped me in a way. It's funny because sometimes I get to where I just need something and if I eat a little (not exactly two days in a row but ya know) it helps me move on and not crave it. If I put it off and deny myself, I will eventually cave, BIG TIME. A little ice cream won't hurt us, it's the doing it everyday for a long period of time that does.

Cdgmom--I hope vacation is going well! Dh and I's is the first week of July and it seems so long away. I can't wait! Just to get outta town to me sounds heavenly!

Avilla--:huggie: How are things going girl? Any updates? We'll continue to pray for you. :pray:

Teresita--Where are you hiding? :peep: I know work has been busy but I just wanted to say we miss you! How's everything going?

[niecyrenee 2]

I hate the edit tool not working. I just realized I typed lose when I meant to put loss. :faint: What a pain.

[tann 2]

I miss Teresita and Avilla too:confused:

DENISE you are knocking out all kinds of goals :heh: You will be sooo proud of yourself when you get out of the 300's. It was a BIG deal for me too. It's nice to say I weigh 2 something. I'm sure this m/e will give me a loss by Friday, I just gotta be patient.:tired

HELLO TURNER AND CDGMOM:biggrin1:

[niecyrenee 2]

Everyone I would like to share a fantastic picture:photo: with you:

I took this picture this morning. :dance: TWOTERVILLE!!!! :whoo: I can't hardly believe it!

[niecyrenee 2]
