Man, you guys are an awesome bunch! Now that I have been introduced, I read when I can and have to catch up a lot if I miss a couple of days! There is definitely a kinship here:)

Kat~ any news??

I want to write more to specific posts and such, but my mom is having surgery today and I have to get ready to go....

Hey, do any of you live in Colorado??

Cheers!

Want2bmeagain; Hope all goes well with your mom.

Kat - Thinking of you also.

Laura: Haha!

Everyone else good morning.

It has finally turned cool here in St Louis. Monday it was 92 and this morning 54, so I was looking for a jacket to put on. Tried on one I've had for 5 or 6 years but haven't been able to wear since the year I purchased it and it was too big. I'm determined to wear it, so when it gets cold I'll bundle-up with sweaters and wear it anyway at least once.

I'm going to put all my summer things in bags and farm them out to friends or charity go through my winter things get rid of anything too big and start wearing the rest. This should thin my closet out some. I'm a pack rat and hate to throw anything out. But they gotta go!

I may not be losing a lot of pounds but a lot of inches. My friends and workmates all say that I'm "Shrinking" away! and I love it!!!!:clap2:

BACK AWAY FROM THE EVIL TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's FINALLY cold here too. 2 days ago it was 90 degrees, yesterday was low 80's (felt better).. today it feels 50-60. It's COLD out. And so someone went nutso and cranked the heat up inside (no wind in here, not neccesarry!!) so it's about 200 degrees in my office, with a fan going lol.

I was digging through the sample room and saw we just printed a cd holder for a weight loss surgery brochure. How neato :Banane30:

It's by 5 doctors, one of which is in Dallas, TX.

I know i don't post often (you girls have WAY too much free time hehe, j/k), BUT I had to post this................................

As of this morning, using the scale in the back bathroom at work..............

I'M IN ONE-DERLAND!!! 198 as of this morning!!! :whoo:

I haven't seen numbers below 200 since 6th grade....roughly 14 years ago!!

It hasn't totally hit yet....but when it does, i'm going to bawl...i know it...LOL. I just can't believe it.........it finally ahppened. And I have had ABSOLUTELY NO URGES FOR 'BAD' FOODS! Something about being under 200 just really makes it click - I DON'T WANT JUNK! :clap2:

Anyway, i'm at work, can't stay long, but hopefully soon I'll be able to take more part in the chatting on here -- I have been trying to keep up as far as reading them though!!

And it's starting to feel good here in FL too ...we're in the 70's today, and tomorrow we're sposed to start out in the 50's!!!! ((i LOVE this time of year)). So, I'm going to go splurge tonight and buy a new sweater/jacket....the ones from last year swallow me!! :-D

Take care everyone!!

Hi Everyone!

Some of the local doctors (mine included) in the area did a lapband surgery live today on the internet - you can view the surgery (if you wish) at:

OR-Live: Live and On-Demand Medical Webcasts

Have a great night everyone!

thanks guys (or gals!). I'm still in shock...it hasn't quite hit me yet....LOL. But it has made me more determined than EVER. I looked at gym today that some people who used to go to our church work at (they moved to a church closer to their home). It's a NICE place.....$50 activation and $35 a month if you pay monthly. Not bad at all. And it's close to my job, so I'm going to see if they ahve showers and if so, I think i'll join soon (not yet, broke as all get out LOL).

Anyway, I pray that everyone else is doing ok. Hopefully work will be slowing down here shortly and I can get on here more. Our busy season seems to keep getting longer and longer!

By the way, my mom is in onederland too :Banane30: She's doing just as well as I am. I'll post updated pix as soon as I can...my computer has issues right now, so any online stuff is limited LOL.

Hope you're all doing well. TTYL
