PJTP...

OK - Speech over - back to the real stuff....

Congrats, Tap! You're a 'video star'! :scared2:

Heart - you are not having good vehicle karma; I'm with you, don't travel tonight just in case.

I agree - good idea not to test the vehicle karma universe...

Ebony - How are you doing today?

Hangin' in there...had a teary morning at home, but by the time I reached work, I was calm, cool and collected. Of course my band is tighter than tight from the stress, but that's something only I know...

Slim? Sick? Kat? Fanny? KC? Suzy? CC?....

Come back, come back...and bring a friend or two!

I agree...missing everyone not here at the moment...:w00t:

*waves* Hi all... well Box Mountain is slowly diminishing but still a long way to go. I had to go out yesterday and buy contact to cover the pantry shelves because they were all grotty, even after cleaning. It's just basic white, but at least I could put my food away. The pantry is quite literally THREE times the size of my previous one, which was packed up to the gills, so it's been wonderful being able to fit everything in with room to spare. I don't like the kitchen cupboards though - the doors are too narrow and they go back way too far, so hard to get stuff into/out of and easy to lose things in the back. Nevermind though - the kitchen is on the list for remodelling so it's only temporary. It's not at the top of the list though, so it will probably be a year or more before we get to it. I'm loving the size and space of everything else, from the bedroom to the laundry linen closet, it feels like everything has tripled in size :scared2:

And did I mention I have horses over the road? HORSES!!! I won't get over that thrill for a very long time :w00t:

I've not gone anywhere, just running out of time! I move around and place a post or 2 a day is about all, do the same on FB---and thats it!

With work and softball, and kids and grandkids, and hauling wood, and winterizing our house, and the parents houses....we have not slowed down. This weekend, we have decided to be lazy! We are going to a movie, and gonna sleep in. I am so excited it is pathetic!!!

Will find time to check in, it is gonna be harder to get rid of me than you think!!!! LOL

I wish we could attract some of the 'veteran' PJTP-ers back, and recruit a few more like minded...maybe over time...

Ebony sorry to hear that Jillian is still putting your stomach through a rough time; push the fluids, and try to relax this weekend.

HORSES!! Whoo hoo. Better than snakes in my opinion!!!

It's a wonderful feeling to have that much room, isn't it? Your kitchen reno will make it perfect, but you can wait and take the time to design just the perfect one now.

I'm in shock.....

I went outside and there was snow. :scared2::scared2:

Snow. It is too early for me to get back into the snow shovelling routine. Not in mid-October! November, yes k. I don't like it, but I acept it, but NOT IN OCTOBER!!!.:wink2::eek::w00t:

Ok you may now resume normal operations.........

Happy Friday!

Hey y'all I am running late for work. Nothing I wanted to wear worked! The clothes I have been wearing are getting baggy (YAY) but the smaller size seems tight----so I tried and tossed out a few things, so now I am short on time!!

Game last night was rescheduled, neither of our teams had enough players to show up. It was an early game, and we had too many people still at work. And one of our guys (along with his wife) had just had their 4th son.....so we thought we would have to forfeit, but they did not have enough either, so we rescheduled with the agreement of the league pres and 2 blues who agreed to work the game. What a pain!

Will be calling g4e this weekend and will update what is happening. I have not heard anything, and I know she should have got her package, so maybe she is out of town or down from testing. They may have already started her radiation. Will let ya know.

Gotta run, see ya later!!!

PJTP...Happy Friday, everyone!

I saw snow last night too, Tap - and I agree, I am SO not ready! :w00t::eek::eek:

"Jillian" and I are still feuding - dinner last night was an exercise in patience, praying and PB'ing...on liquids today...

It's cold, windy and RAW outside...my office buildings' heat isn't working to capacity, and I'm freezing. :wink2:

It's gotta get better, right?

At least tonight will be fun - my local NAACP branch is having their Freedom Fund dinner tonight at Foxwoods Casino - should be fun to see everyone. I don't get to attend meetings much anymore because of my work schedule, and most of them don't know I was banded and have lost all this weight. Will be interesting...

One or two people know - most notably, the family of my daughter's best friend. The mom and one of the daughters have had bypasses, and they've seen me out and about, but unless my "adopted" daughter told them about my band, they don't know what I did to lose the weight. And I've thought about it - if they ask, I'll tell 'em. It might help someone who feels as I once did that they can't find any other way to lose the weight. Maybe I can give someone hope...

One side benefit of Jillian and I not playing well together is that I've lost 3 pounds this week...not exactly the way I wanted to lose it, but I'll take it! Closing in on leaving the 190's behind...yay! :scared2:

Hi Ebony - not the way to lose weight, though. I really hope Jillian loosens a bit for you.

Enjoy to dinner tonight, and be prepared for the jaws to drop as they see the 'melting Ebony'. It takes courage to decide to tell people, just be prepared for the range of responses from "WOW Tell me about it", to the 'You did what? Don't you know you have ruined your body', etc...

Have a great time - forget work and relax!! HUGS.

HI SLIM! :eek::w00t::wink2: *waving wildly, grinning like a nut*

What Tap said! :w00t:

YAY on the clothes.

Add me to that - please tell G4E she's iin my prayers and thoughts...

Hi Ebony - not the way to lose weight, though. I really hope Jillian loosens a bit for you.

I agree - we've had a serious talk this morning and she's agreed to cut me a little slack...as long as I behave, that is! :eek:

I actually am really looking forward to it...haven't seen most of these folks for quite a while and I do miss them. We've had our ups and downs (the organization and I) but for the most part, I do like them.

Hoping for a wonderful event - side benefit - the keynote speaker is from my hometown of Detroit! I get to hear something more about "home"...though I understand it's really tough there now with the state of the auto industry...:w00t:

Hi. No real news. I am in a weightloss stall. I had a fill on Monday. I am trying to ease into real food since I also had the braces adjusted this week. DH wrecked his car (he's ok). His mother seems to no longer have a use for him since he no longer has a car. That about sums it up.:frown:

What's new with you?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
