Sanoviv is the name you were looking for.

She is my long lost cousin on my daddy's side. LOL!!!

You are all invited to the Hardbottle and Nobottle family reunion. To be held at the Emptybottle Reunion Hall over the hill from Drybottle Creek. LOL!!!

I am going to be in the Nashville area over Labor Day weekend and would love to try to connect with a couple of you. My time is limited but would love to squeeze in a few meet and greets.

I have given clothes to people on here as well. If you can't find anyone then it just depends if you wanna get a little money for the clothes or if you just wanna give them away. If you wanna try to sell them then find a consignment store in your area. If you wanna just give them away then find a church that has a clothes closet or a women's shelter or something of that nature. Goodwill will always take clothes and you can get a tax deduction from it as well.

Hey Estela: Post them pics. Glad you are doing much better.

If I am going to get started on this project then I need some volunteers to share their stories. If I don't get much more of a response in the next week or two then I will drop this project altogether. All stages of progress are welcome. All I really need are before pics and a brief history of your decision to do the surgery. Once I compile all the data then I will ask for a second pic of where you are at now and another short story of what you have learned so far. This will not be a "fast" project it will be at least a year in the making. So if you are interested then let me know ASAP. I am looking for at least 30 to 50 candidates.

Ok here is another marathon guys and gals. November 6, 2005, Sunday, at Santa Clarita, Calif Here is the link if interested. Santa Clarita Marathon John and I have already signed up for the 5K. Remember 5K is only 3 miles. You can run it or walk it. When I did the one in Los Angeles in March this Year I walked it and still ranked middle of the pack. The cost is minimal as well.

Everyone looks fantabulous. I agree Marimu about your pic. Awesome results.

I will be there. 11am Mimi's at the Mall close to Billy's office.

"MIND MONSTER" I like that Esetla. I am gonna use that. I usually try to write in a journal when I feel the "mind monster" lurking. I also talk to myself and say OK am I really hungry or is it all mental? If it is mental then "why" am I wanting something to eat? All this I write in my journal. I have pages and pages of this stuff. It is the only thing lately that has kept the "mind monster" at bay. Heaven forbid if my pen runs out of ink in the middle of an attack. LOL!! I also keep healthier Snacks around instead of cheetos, fritos, chips, dips, candies, etc. I now keep veggies, fruits, and if I must have chips then I get something at Trader Joe's (grocery store out here in Calif) that is called Veggie Chips. I know they are still loaded with fat but one or two of them and I am satisfied.

I think NJCHICK mentioned something about if it was gonna be in Joisey then she would be there. Well right now there are NO REAL plans. So it could be anywhere in the NJ/NY area at this point. LOL!!! So peoples speak what would you like to do? Any suggestions?

Hey guys, Just wanted to remind everyone of the East Coast Bash. It is the weekend of Sept 23, 24, 25. Some of us are arriving on the 22nd and leaving on the 26th. I am staying at the Wyndham Garden Hotel by Laguardia. So taxi's for me everywhere. Thursday, the 22nd I will arrive in the afternoon and would be up to meeting someone for dinner possibly. Friday, the 23rd we had discussed a dinner to meet and greet everyone. Has anyone decided on a place or time? Saturday, the 24th is the Walk from Obesity 5K along Riverside Park. If you are interested in participating then here is the link. Manhattan, NY - The American Society for Bariatric Surgery - Walk From Obesity - Sept. 24, 2005 Sunday, the 25th is a free day or travel day for some. I plan on going to some museums or just walking the streets of New York and playing sight-seer. Anyone wanna go with?
