I know, I know, this is not about the scale. But for me it is, just a little. Well alot.

AMEN!!!!! I'm right there with you on that one.

Judy - as usual, you are so wise and that is true.

I started this journey Feb 2006 but consider my weight loss as of Jan 8,07, which was the morning I woke up and decided I was ready physically and mentally, which was why I finally decided to include total weight loss.

so what a mess, I was cleaning out my email and outlook and screwed up my settings and now getting an error saying that I need to reinstall outlook. So of course... I can't find my program, but I am going to get up and get ready to go to the gym, that is more important than making a giant mess of my office right now.

anyway, i'll be back to check in when I get out of work, I'm sure I'll miss a lot

Chica Chula..About the TT..I guess that decision to do it when you're ready or wait til after kids is something only you can decide..

Of course you'll be paying twice if you do both, so I can't advise you there.

I'll see how I feel when that happens, I may not have the time, money or desire to get tucked again, but the fanny HAS to go!! LOL

I know that I will need a TT when i am done. 12 years ago I had lost from 325 to 160 and still had the apron, so I know for a fact that this time I will need one. Unless I get a miracle???

Haydee: since surgery I've only lost around 13 lbs but I was not working the band like I should have.... but I am now.

I did not mow last night.. I'm saving that joy for tonight.. and I WILL be counting it as a workout.....

I'm game for a weekend at a hotel with pool and hot tub.... so far I have two big vacations set for 2008.......... Sturgis and Daytona bike weeks each at a weeklong and cross country..... I MIGHT be able to do a 3 day cruise out of Gavelston on Carnival ...... Terri would you look into it if you ge a chance? I may have 3 other girlfriends who will want to go too. (they've been screaming for a girls trip for a long time)

I've been looking at tankini swim suits with underwires in them but I don't know what size I should buy for next summer... they are all on sale right now.............. A tankini top and swim shorts is my norm

TracyK -

I have never had one but I know now I am in serious trouble.

I am waiting for my daughter to get home to watch her brother so I can leave.

So here is something on my insane mind the last couple of days with all this TT talk.....

So ya'll know I work in a kitchen... I hate that word apron so very much I refuse to wear one while I work. They all tell me to put one on but I try really hard to stay clean and believe in Bleach. Well tonight I am working on the pizza counter which I don't normally do, so I will have to, I'm too short to reach over the counter for stuff and always get a dirt/grease stripe on my clothes.

I'd rather sweat my butt off working the 600degree ovens than have 2 aprons!!!!

you all know I have crazy thoughts. I hope I can entertain someone with them... or maybe that someone else out there is slightly crazy like me.

just so ya'll know - sad to say - these are all serious thoughts, but at least I can laugh about them now that I plan on changing my life forever

TracyKS - only 13. you look great!

I did not mow last night.. I'm saving that joy for tonight.. and I WILL be counting it as a workout.....

on my fitlinxx website, there is a spot for lawn mowing so I say count it. I even have a calorie counter on the site so I count every minute I'm out there

Hi. I'm Terry. I've been banded 3 months and 8 days and I have only lost 19# since surgery.

ONLY?????? Would you rather say "I've only GAINED 19# in 3 months, 8 days??" PEOPLE... this is not a race!!!! This is NOT a competition!!!! I applaud each and every pound you and I lose!!! Is there anyone here that has gained since surgery or not lost one ounce?? I didn't think so!!! Never forget we are in this together. We support each other and we congratulate each other and right now I'm CONGRATULATING each and every one of you.. there is not a slacker in the group.

End of sermon.

Amen.

Hey ladies

if we have to fly to get to a cruise, how about leaving from VA? cheap to fly into Norfolk, or only a 9 hr drive for us who don't fly (MEMEMEMEMEM!!!) they have cheap cruises

I looked into them last year
