Michelle thank you for staying with us, I for one really need you on here, you have always been such an inspiration to me. You have done a great job with your band, and I know you will be able to continue without the band as well. You are welcome to call me anytime you need to talk, or my door is always open to you. Thank you for all you have done for me, you have truly been a great friend.

Popcicles! Jello! They helped me a lot!

Happy Birthday Alex! Hope you have a great one! Do something very special for yourself today

I heard on the news this morning that Walmart is matching everyone else's ads for that day. Hey Kelly is that true there?

Beautiful! Congrats on the 103 pounds gone!

I lost a lot of my hair, it scared me it got so thin. Now my hair is back to normal. It really is just a temporary thing!

Good Luck! Keep us posted.

Good Morning Y'all! Well, the shopping is done! I am happy about that, I just hate it when it is so crowded! Now, on with the preparation of things. I have a dinner to go to tonight, it is a late Halloween dinner. My SIL prepares all this crazy stuff and gives it nasty names. It's good food, just yucky names for it all. She goes way out and prepares tons of stuff. She delayed it this year so her daughter could be here for one. It is a lot of fun to go to. Cindy - I hate all that stuff in the isles. You would think they could do that during the night when not as many shoppers are there. I think the other thing that drives me crazy is the people that work there cut you right off, walk right in front of you and make you stop your cart. Talk about rude! I always try to get to the stores early, early, early! I am still praying for you family, it is a very hard time to go through all of this. Hugs to you! Patty - Yes, get all the information you can, then make your decisions. Check out the doctors, the aftercare and how and when the fills are done. Check how many surgeries the doctor has done. Dig, Dig, and then Dig some more! Beanie - We miss you! We always go for long walks in the desert when we are there. I love walking out there, you just have to be careful of what you touch, kick, or what moves! lol Pat - How are the cookies coming along? I have to get mine started soon too. I am trying to wait till after Thanksgiving though, but I am fighting starting them earlier. I just want to get it over with, but I hate to have them laying around the house too! Zan - How's the fill doing? Eileen - You're late this morning! lol So, what is on your schedule for today? You are certainly using your time off wisely! Well, I'm going to go get something done around here. I need to get back into my walking. After taking that break for a week, I can't get in the mood to walk again.

Welcome back Becky! Glad to hear you are better, but please take care and follow through with it all.

Yes, I see a difference too! Way to go!

Good Morning! I am getting ready to go to the store and finish my shopping for Thanksgiving. I was so frustrated Saturday that I didn't finish. I hate to be in a store and you can't even get up to the shelf you want to get things off of, and Saturday it was so crowded I just quit! We go to my DB for Thanksgiving, but I cook a lot of things to take. My DH ask me this morning if I was going to fix stuff for here too. He hates not having any leftovers. I always cook another whole dinner for home on Friday or Saturday. I think it has to be Friday now that I think about it, we'll be gone all day Saturday. We have a Harley thing to go to during the day, then dinner at my Nephew's house later on. Gosh, I am going to dinner someplace Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Man, I hate to think about the scales this week! Eileen - Thanks for the recipe, I already have some of those pans, so I won't have that problem. It sounds yummy! Send DH this way if he gets bored, I have lots of stuff he can do here! Zan - Glad to hear you finally got your fill. Hope it works great for you. Hello to all of you that haven't checked in! Catch you all later!

I am not going anywhere near the stores that day! It really is a mad house here that day, I went one year and it was awful!

Congrats! I love it! NSV is a non scale victory.

Like everyone else has said, I am glad it is something that can be fixed. I am just sorry you have to go through it again. Hugs!

Thank you Pat! I love it! I hate those recordings!

Awww, sorry about your Grandma, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Have a safe trip.

Good Afternoon! Been busy, cleaning and doing laundry, cooking, all that wonderful stuff Ira - I love recipes, bring them on! Eileen - I watch Food network too! Love that show, I especially love Paula, just love hearing her talk! Hey, I'd like to have that cookie recipe you talked about. I have been going through some of my recipes, I can't find a bunch of them. I guess I put them somewhere I wouldn't lose them. :cry I am not much in the mood for digging for them right now, I wanted to make a list to take to the store, but maybe later. Patty - I find it hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it is so warm too, but I am from upnorth where there was snow at Christmas. I'll keep the warm weather over the snow. I love the way they decorate a lot more with lights here. I just love all the decorations. Eileen is right, that time will go by quicker than you think. Cindy - How is your fill working for you? Beanie - Hope you have a great time in Arizona! Pat - I was going to start a thread about posting good cookie recipes, but you beat me to it. How is it going with the recipes? Well, going to go look for some more stuff, catch you all later! Have a great one!

Awwww, sorry you have to go through this. Sometimes problems won't show up for a few days, so if you are feeling pain, you need to go have a check up. Hugs, and hope you feel much better.

I've been thinking about her too! Come on girlie, check in with us!!!

Good Morning! I have been so busy that I haven't had any time to spend here at all. Sorry about that! I am filling in for a friend while she is on vacation, and it has taken us a lot of my time, but I am so glad I could do it for her. This morning I have to go in and do my billing as I couldn't do it this week. Then it is off to the grocery store to get a few things I am out of. I figure I will do most of my shopping early in the week so everything will be good and fresh! Ira - There is a thread called do you want some chips, and you sign up to eliminate or do something for 30 days straight. If you do that, you get that chip! You are doing such a great job with your band! Cindy - I am so sorry about your Grandma, I am sure you will find the right answer in your heart on what to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you. What great people you have in your life! Enjoy all the attention, you deserve it! Eileen - I think we all go through being afraid of eating solids the first time, but don't worry, it will be fine. You are still wide open, so things will go down pretty easy, just watch the fattening stuff and you will be fine. I went to the Galvaston Bash right when I could start eating stuff, and I had some steak and salad. I also had some snack stuff and it went down too good! Don't worry, your first fill is just around the corner and it will help take care of any weight you might add on right now. Actually eating all I did, I didn't gain any back. Beanie - Have fun in AZ. We use to go there every year when DH father was alive. He lived in Tucson, he still has some Aunts/cousins there too. I would love to go back out there, I enjoy it! We almost moved there before we came to Texas, I am really glad we decided on Texas. Enjoy your meal, one day isn't going to hurt you! Even my doctor's office told me that last year! Pat - I just loved that picture of your GS! What a cute Harley! I hope you have a big picture made of that one! My nephew has a real chopper, I have been trying to get a picture of him with it for a long time. My nephew finally brought one in for me, now my scanner isn't working properly for me to scan it, so my DB is going to scan it and send it to me, but that has been about 2 weeks ago. Maybe in 6 months I might have it! Well folks, I gotta run and get my billing done. Hopefully I will get a chance to get back on here later today. I miss you all when I am not here. Hello Patty and Zan! I hope you have a great day! I hope I didn't miss anyone!

Hi Y'all! Awwww Patty, you have the hardest job in the world, raising children. My heart goes out to you, especially with being single. I raised two children by myself, and I know it is not an easy chore. Sending lots of (((((hugs))))) your wa! Pat - "Happy Anniversary"! I love the moon deal you do. I kinda do the same thing with clouds. I always look up at the clouds, see angels flying and know it is Mom and Pop! It always makes me smile. I need to take about 20 of those chit pills today! Beanie - I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you. I took out a 0 interest for a year credit card for mine. When that year was up, I had another offer for 3.99% for the life of the loan. I rolled it over to that one! I always say where there's a will there's a way. Cindy - How did your meeting go? I miss being on here during the day! Eileen - It always makes me feel good to have something different done with my hair. I bet it looks great. Yes, it will lighten up! Well, I am going to go get supper done, so I'll catch you all later!

Welcome back! The good thing about the band is it's always there, just waiting on you! Good Luck!

I'm happy that she is safe and so are the rest of the family. That had to be very scary for her.

I was so hoping she would come out of this. It is so sad.
