One of my worst experiences was with eating bread. It was my weakness before banding. Like Michelle I can eat toasted but only in extremely small bites.

Since there are so many now being approved it is hard to keep up so I will just to a blanket HAPPY BOOTY SHAKIN DANCE for you all. I am so excited for you all. I remember that feeling of excitement knowing you were gonna be banded. WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trish, Paula, and Alexandra all I gotta say is HOLY WEIGHTLOSS BATMAN!!!!! You guys look gorgeous. And yes Alex you do look younger MUCH YOUNGER.

michelle let me know when the party is too. I am so there.

Hey mine is www.pennimerrick.com There are other things there to explore as well. Have fun.

1 mile walk this morning. Took me 25 min.

Saffy: I am strongly suggesting you go to a counselor or do an Overeater's anonymous meeting. IT might help. IT would be a shame to have this great tool and then not use it. I have recently hit a wall and had to change some things about my eating habits as well. It sucks to recognize things about ourselves and then to know you HAVE to change them if you want to lose the weight. It is not an easy road we have to travel.

There ya go.

Kimberly: My heart goes out to you and your family. This is a stressful time for you all. I will keep you all in my prayers and yes give it over to God. That is all we can do at times like this.

This bash is just around the corner. I would love to meet as many bandsters in the area as possible. So if you wanna try to hook up then PM me and I will give you my cell number. I will be in town from the 22nd and fly home on the 26th. So, let me know. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Alex wanna come in and meet for dinner or something on Saturday night? I think Michelle is in town and hopefully we can all connect somewhere. Christina is gonna be in town as well. Anyone else wanna meet for dinner Saturday night?

My hearts and prayers go out to the ones affected by 9/11. I remember going into the city about a week after the attack cause John had a gig in town. IT was very surreal walking those streets. SIGH!! Slight hijack thread here. Alexandra LOVE the new avatar.

Here is Crystal's. LOVE THE HAIR. How cute it that?

Here is Terri's. How cute are you? Love you in pink.

Here is Michelle's. Man your eyes never cease to amaze me how blue they are. GORGEOUS lady.

Here is Francesca's. By the way LOVE the hair cut. How cute it that?

Here is Christina's

OK If I missed any one getting a NEW avatar then let me know and I will grab it for you. If you don't wanna use them then no worries. Here is Jenna's new one.

Who got in the pool first? Waiting for those pics. LOL!!!

Aw Nicole I am hurting for you. I never had to face a miscarriage with all my pregnancies. If I had I would have been devastated much like you are now. I won't lie and say it will get better but know that in time you will come to accept what has happened and move on. Some part of you will always want that baby back it is normal to feel that way. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

My baby is a senior too this year. When I get his senior pics back (which should be any day now) I will post it. Everyone is right. He is a cutie. Oh to be that young again.

Megan: You are so cute. Mom, we will get it resolved one way or the other. Time heals all wounds. Drink a glass for me guys.

Vines you will have a blast. I did last year.

Paula I can't get over how gorgeous you look. What a cutie for a son too.

North Dakota sounds like fun. Just keep us posted.
