Make that three Texas gals! I was busy much of the day, I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. He said I was doing great! I lost 9 pounds this six weeks, which puts me down 88 pounds! I haven't lost that much in a long time! Where's Eileen today? Hope you are doing ok! Yes, we had tons of kids last night. They seem to bring them in by the truck loads here! Lots of houses, so it is just the idea place for everyone to come I guess. There sure were a lot of cute kids/costumes this year. Well, DH is getting hungry, and I still have to cook some supper so I'll catch you all later.

Count me in!

Thirty-one days for me with no chips/salsa! I'm going for another month too!

That's fine with me!

I'm ready!

Happy Birthday! I hope you get everything you want and then some!

Congrats! You look great!

Good Morning! Well, we had a ton of kids last night. I bought enough candy for 300 and ran out! The neighbor gal had a big tub of candy, so she gave us all more to hand out. We had a great time! The kids and their parents were all thanking us for how we were set up and they didn't have to walk to all the houses. We blocked the road off, we had Halloween lights up and lots of tourches burning on both sides of the road. One lady was saying she ran out of her drink and would love to stay with us, so one of the neighbors filled up her glass with wine, which made her very happy too! We had a lot of teens too, and we even had a few parents that had their own bag and made sure they got candy. One of the ladies was at least 45-50 years old. We gave her candy, but everyone sure commented about it! I was proud of myself because all the neighbors was eating candy all night long, and I didn't eat one piece! Eileen - I made a pineapple cake but used a lot of fresh pineapple in it and in the icing too. It was really good! (yes, I did taste it, but a very small piece) Beanie - How long has it been since your insurance company got your paperwork? I do believe there is a Texas law that states insurance companies have to give you an answer in 30 days. Although lots of companies try to get out of that one! Keep after them girl, if nothing else they will get sick of your phone calls and pass it just to keep you from calling anymore! Yup, I think the walk counted too! Cindy - I bet it is scary to put make-up on her! It seems like they grow up so fast. I bet she was a cutie though. Did you take pictures???? Well, got to get off here for a while, I have a busy day today. Catch you all later!

Happy Halloween! We are expecting storms here today, but they are saying it will clear up before tonight. I got dressed and started to go out the door to take my walk, and it started pouring down rain and had some thunder. I started to go when it let up a little bit, but decided to just wait. I am glad I did because I got to take my walk when it was sunny and pretty. And, I got it in before the next storm hits! I didn't do too much yesterday, cleaned house, did some laundry and watched the Nascar race. My guy took second! I am getting ready to bake a cake, and make up some baked beans for tonight. We block the street off and all the adults have a big cookout, then we hand out candy to the kids afterwards. It is a lot of fun, and you don't have to answer the door 250 times! The parents walking around with the kids like it too because they don't have to walk up our hill to our houses. Eileen - How are you doing with the protein drinks? I bet they are helping. I don't remember if I told you or not, but I used the CIB and it really worked well with me. I made it up like hot chocolate. I'm so sorry to hear about you MIL. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please keep us posted. Hugs! Cindy - It's amazing how quiet a house can get when everyone leaves. Sometimes I turn off everything just to hear the quiet! I must admit after a while though I am ready for some noise! Lisa - Sorry to hear you have sick kids too! Nothing worse than having kids feeling bad and you can't help them. Hope they feel better soon! Angel - Glad to hear your kids are feeling a little bit better. Those cheese things sound wonderful! Beanie - OK, I am waiting to hear some good news from you today! Everything I have is crossed!

You are beautiful! What a difference! You have done an amazing job with your band. I sometimes think our body has to rest to keep up with all we lost. It has been very slow for me the last few months, but I can see a big difference in the inches lost even though the scale goes very slow. Have you checked to see if your measurements have changed during this time? Good luck!

What a great picture, your daughter is darling. Great work!

Congrats! That is fantastic!

Wow! What an amazing job! Be proud girl! Now do something VERY special for yourself, you deserve it!

"Happy Birthday"! I hope you have a great one!

Sending prayers your way! Keep us posted!

Hello Everyone! Late getting here today, we went riding most of the day. We went over to Garland to the Harley Store, they had a open house thing going today. Then we headed to Dallas and then we went to Stroker's. Anyone here watch Hardtails? Well, that is done at Strokers. We had a great time, the weather was so nice. Beanie - you go after them girl! I love your attitude! Now, who in their right mind would turn you down???? Have a great time with your friend. Cindy - Sounds like you had a great time, and the bracelet sounds beautiful! Lisa - Your camping trip brought back a lot of memories for me! Glad you had such a great time. I can honestly say the surgery wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. Angel - Sorry your kids are sick, hope they will be better for Halloween! Sending good vibes your way so you don't catch it! Ira - Sounds like it was a pretty scary thing for him, maybe next year he will enjoy it more. Sorry you have to work and will miss out for the rest. Eileen - I really think you need to add some protein drinks, two weeks with just clear liquid is a long time. I had to do clears too, but they added a CIB drink in with it. That will help you alot! Pat - How's the mouth today? Hope you are doing great! Well, that is my exciting day, now I am going to kick back and take it easy. See ya all tomorrow!

Good Afternoon! I have just been busy today! Eileen - glad to hear you are feeling better! My doctor said no driving for 10 days, although I drove earlier than that! If it didn't bother you that's good. Just be careful, don't rip any stitches! Did they start you on protein drinks? They had me do them along with juice, broth, popcicles, coffee, tea, and water. I think the protein drinks and popcicles helped me more than anything. It is a beautiful day here today, I went for a long walk after I got my work done. Where is everyone else today? Hello to y'all!

Cute! Fun too!

Congrats! I know how excited you are!

Congrats! I know you feel great!

Congrats! I love it!

Eileen, try some popcicles, they helped me a lot!
