Itstime

I'm all for that, maybe get some more of us to meet up at a condo on the beach. Aren't there some from Jacksonville? We have to pull something together and I have always wanted to have a girls weekend trip. Linda

I love that area and would love to meet up with you both if we can pull it off. Does anybody's significant/ DH play golf? The guys would have something to do while we gab or any suggestions?

Yea Daisy, Glad you had a good time, hope many more!!

Believe me, we all tempt ourselves occasionally, I read one person would take a bite of steak early out and just chew it and spit it out, desparate for some flavor and chewing! Please be careful doing this though, early out think of your stomach and its healing...don't compromise it. Get back on the program and put something in your mouth allowed and time will pass and you can have a healthy new life.

Tiffy, That sounds great! Do you live near Eglin AFB? Isn't that near Pensacola? I went to school in Pensacola and loved that city. Anyway road trip coming up for sure!

Jiggle butt! So funny Dee dee and I know you work out and dance so I must be looking at some serious work on mine!! I will keep on and let you know. My daughter runs and she complains also about her butt jiggling but she doesn't do any other exercise and sporadic at that. Buns of steel is my hope but hamburger buns is more like it for me.

I am glad my husband went with me bc I don't remember so much...senior moments. It is a blur on certain things. My husband said that I told Dr. Aceves I didn't want to talk about my weight in front of him, maybe the goal weight but I do not REMEMBER that. I plead medication.

Kabranda, I remember being scared the closer it got to S date and had to just hope all went well and have confidence in my doctor. I had my husband with me and thank goodness, he remembered what actually happened! I have NO regrets whatsoever, even with the first few days being rough with nausea, all forgotten. I am losing weight steadily, some weeks nothing and then on down 2-3 lbs. I have so much energy and work out easily. Go to the pool and lift weights no prob. Did you go to a local doctor? I wish you well and let me know if you have any questions.

Norma, So glad to hear from you. Sounds like you are doing so well and happier for sure! Wonderful news about reducing your meds and back to normal with your knee surgery. Great news!

Thank you all. Another question. I hate to say it but my butt is nonexistent, flat as a board and was wondering if I keep jogging will it help the ole butt? I can feel some tightness in the glutes now, but is there hope?

Chancie, I was wondering about you and how you were doing and you look SO GOOD!! Amazing loss of weight and inches! Is your diet relaxed a little now and do you exercise? I just can't imagine losing all that in a year. I am so happy for you!

Congratulations Booklady on returning to college and to have two victories when you reach your goal and graduate. Good for you! Don't be discouraged, first few days are rough for quite a few of us but it gets so much better. I am so glad I did this for myself and all these wishes everyone has put on here is seconded by me! Enjoy your journey.

I was not weighed, just thought of that. Don't remember discussion of what weight was my goal either.

Hey Oregon, Hope you have a super dinner date!

Hey, I am southeast of Huntsville, Meridianville is just around the corner. Glad to see you here. Have you had surgery yet? Keep in touch

I am so sorry for the loss of Harley and you did the right thing not letting him suffer but it is so hard!! It is a shame that our pets don't live very long and we have to say goodbye so soon. I have buried many beloved pets and it still hurts so much. My prayers are with you and your family. Linda

Cajun, I just kicked your jogger's butt for you!

Good luck with your pressure issues, I'm sure your doctor can help you there, maybe put you on a 24hr holter monitor and check your rhythm. Good luck!
