Myra ~ We are definitely going to hook up in the future. I expect this job move process to take several mos. Maybe we could think about planning a time in May or June. Anyone else want to join us? I can't believe I'm going to be living with tarantulas & scorpions. So your getting an elliptical machine for your home. Smart move. Dr. Phil swears by them. I tried one at the gym this fall and it hurt my left knee. Never had problems with my knees b4. It only hurts on the elliptical machine and once in a great while when climbing steps. You are so on the verge of crossing a milestone. Hang in there my friend. You inspire me in so many ways. I love your spirit. Teeth are over rated anyway. At least you won't need any more root canals. I would rather give birth than have a root canal. I told my dentist that too. :rolleyes marz ~ I finally got a chance to read some old threads and want to say I am so very sadden to read about your terrible loss. I followed your link and your sister is absolutely beautiful and those little girls are so very precious. It's easy to say trust the Lord and it's another thing to actually live it. I will lift your family in prayer especially Jonathan & Scott. My heart is heavy for all of you. I can only hope the knowledge of others praying for you will help you find some comfort. God bless all of you. LindaV ~ What's happening on your job situation? Maybe I missed an updated post. I can really relate to your situation. We are moving to OK and I still have not let myself feel the emotional impact of this yet. Right now it's all logistics and being thankful to God for a real paycheck instead of an unemployment check. Our prayer during this time has been for the Lord to clearly show us where we need to be. I can say that we've seen doors close & doors open. It's not exactly what I want, but what's more important is to be a healthy strong family unit. Be strong and ask Him for guidance. You cannot go wrong. Are you still struggling with the head hunger? That's been a biggie for me. I now understand when I'm doing it, but it "feels" good. Right now I'm taking one small victory at a time. This morning I had my first Protein shake in weeks. You can do this too. Your not alone my friend!

Really? Now I'm getting creeped out. I wasn't sure if I was being told a BIG one about the OK creatures. I guess it's true. I will definitely have a problem with this. Can you do anything to keep them away. BTW, I've seen your pics and your a skinny thing now. GREAT JOB!!

OU ~ Yes, we are looking in Edmond. Are there really tarantulas & scorpions in the area? Also, did you have a storm shelter? I guess the new homes are being built without them and some are adding the safe rooms. Ever been in a OK tornado? I hope I never experience it. :phanvan

You know, I haven't heard much response about DJ & Mikey going to Toyota's. After this weekend, I'm not sure how long they will stick around. I think this kind of sets the tone for them. They have a long year ahead of them. Personally, I think the Waltrips are the only ones excited about Toyota. BTW, it's always nice to talk to another Tony fan. He is the man!!

Kelli & OUSooner ~ It looks like we will be moving to OK within the next few mos. My DH is working in the OKC area. We are trying to decide what area to move to. Any suggestions from you Okies? Janey ~ I think a May Weight Loss Challenge sounds like a super idea. I can't believe we are coming up on our 1 yr anniversary. It just seems like yesterday that I was trying to get approval. Boy, does time fly or what? Marz ~ Yes, I'm with you on the bathroom stalls. You explained it perfectly. I still prefer them b/c I haven't lost much and I still take my kids in with me. Marci ~ Holy Cow! You look incredible. How are you feeling since the Chinese incident? My solution would be to stay away from Chinese food. That was me b4 and after the band. Don't think my DH could do that though. He loves Chinese. Kim ~ Onederland....I bet it feels great. So proud of you. Thanks for the hugs & encouragement. I've missed it. I scheduled my 2nd fill today for March 12. It will cost me $250. Ouch. It's worth it and I'll tell my DH when he gets home tonight. I can't think of a better way to spend money. You know Smoke & Jr are going to hook up early Sun. Can't wait! Drews ~ Torn MCL....gosh, that sounds so painful. Can't believe your in the ring tonight. Have fun and kick some butt! Myra ~ HOW R U? So your starting a new business, huh? Good for you. You will be successful. I've done some network marketing in the past. I'll see if I have any websites that may be of interest. I think some of them offer ideas & such for home businesses. How is the dental working coming along. It sounds like it's taking longer than you had anticipated. So, how many of the May bandsters are now in onederland?

Are you guys ready for some racin? Smoke won the first duel today with Jeff winning the second. Sad to say that Jeff's car failed post race inspection. He is starting right in front of Waltrip. I'm getting the NASCAR fever really bad. It makes my heart beat fast and my hands get sweaty. I LOVE RACING!! Hey, does anyone know if that blonde is an official girlfriend of Tony's. From the pics I've seen, they seem cozy together. Would like to get the scoop. My money is going on Smoke for the Daytona 500. I think this is his year. He wants it so bad he can taste it. Anyone putting their money elsewhere? Just to be clear, I'm not a bookie or a professional gambler. I'm a simple girl from the country and I'm using this as a figure of speech.

Well, it's been a long time and I sure have missed ya'll. I came to the site last week and teared up reading about all you guys have accomplished. It is going to take me awhile to read everything and catch up, but that's why I'm here. I realized how much I need ya'll. Gosh, this feels good. My DH will not be getting the band anytime soon. He has had a job change and is working contract engineering jobs. We may be moving to OK. I am a single mom during the week and he comes home on the weekends. We'll see what develops. My weight loss, as of today, is 27 lbs. I was down 39 lbs at one point, but I have strayed and have fallen victim to my emotional eating demons. As of today, that is going to change. You all motivate & inspire me. I still have only had one fill. I have some restriction and feel that an additional fill will help get me back on track. Since my DH is working contract, we are without insurance (only purchased major medical through a local co) and I need to find out the cost of a fill. Here's a HUGE hug for all my May friends. I love you guys!! Now, I'm off to the NASCAR thread since my guy Smoke won today. I wonder what's been happening over there?
