  1. "Happy Birthday Kelly", hope you have a great one!
  2. Update: They are trying to get someone out here to put a new unit in, so hopefully it will be today! It was over a 100 in here the last few days, but I got to leave around 12:00 so I was thankful for that. Guitarman - It was nice to meet you too! We hung out for a while, listened to some of your great music, ate a little of the good food and watched the motorcycle show. Wow, those guys were something else on those stunts they did! I was leaving when you were singing, I waved bye to the rest of them and pointed to you and told them to tell you. It was time to do some riding. lol Thanks for the offer of the airconditioners, but we don't have windows here, just a door and a couple of big overdoors. I have the office door open and a couple of fans going right now, and it helps till about 11-12:00.
  3. Sending thoughts and prayers your way. I'm glad you are staying on top of this. My fingers and toes are crossed for you too!
  4. Babs - Quitting smoking was one of the hardest (but best) things I ever did for myself. Not only was it very stressful, but food tasted so much better, and yes I did gain weight. Give yourself a little time to adjust to not smoking, it might make a big difference in your weight loss. Right now, you are making a big step in making your life healthier. Good luck!
  5. Welcome to LBT!
  6. Welcome to bandland! You sound like you are doing great!
  7. Glad to hear you are feeling much better!
  8. Well, at least you can talk to him about it! Who knows, maybe he will give you a great big discount. Good Luck!

    Good Luck! Where there's a will, there's a way! Just keep trying.
  10. That's great Michelle! I am happy to hear you are doing so well! I know you are glad to get your fill back!
  11. I ask the police when they were there if they had other reports of this, and he said not with air conditioning units! Lots of other stuff though. He actually started to come in the office and then said "boy, it's hot it there already, I think I'll stand out here! I told him he should have been there an hour ago, before I opened the door and turned on some fans!
  12. Wow! It seems to get worse everyday! Of course they don't do anything to them when they catch them and they know it! Lisa I love your new avatar!
  13. The boss just called and told me to go home, it is too hot to sit there like that. I had the office door open and fans going, but it was still hot! Thanks y'all, I hope they catch them too, but I think there is a very slim chance of that!
  14. They must have done it Saturday night or Sunday, the boss was here working on Saturday and it was here then. When I came in this morning it was gone! I just made a police report, but I doubt if anything will come of it. Hopefully something can be done about it soon! The boss is going to be late today, if he comes in at all! I have the door open and the fan going right now, but in another few hours, that will be out of the question too!
  15. I agree, having it done at the same time is the best way! I think we have a few bansters that had it done at the same time. Good luck and welcome to LBT!
  16. How cool! I love meeting famous people!
  17. I got to work this morning, and turned up the air conditioning. After a while I noticed it wasn't cooling. I turned it down some more, then noticed again it wasn't cooling. I looked out the door to see if the fan was turning and the whole airconditioning unit was stolen~ I can't believe people would do such a thing! It will be an extremely hot day here today as our temps are supposed to be near 100!
  18. I have to do liquids the remainder of the day of the fill, then back to solids the next day. He stresses to me to make sure I return to solids the following day!
  19. Alex I have gained a lot of great advice from your posts. Thank you so much! I have to say each person has to be comfortable in their own skin. I think you look awsome, and if you feel good at the spot you are at, then by all means relax and enjoy it. I don't believe in the table of weight loss they have out, and I don't think a lot of people do. Just because you aren't at the weight they suggest doesn't mean that you aren't healthy and in good shape. I do think when you lose too much weight, not only does it make a person look older, but sometimes sickly too. I for one will see how I feel, and go from there. That number on the scale doesn't affect me near as much as the way I look and feel. What ever you decide to do, you will look great. Your pictures are beautiful, and you should be very proud of what you have accomplished.
  20. That was the only thing I was nervous about too was being put under. My last visit at the doctor's office they ask me if I was nervous and I said "Yes", and they told me if I wasn't then they would think something was wrong with me. They told me it was normal to be nervous, and that made me feel so much better. Once I got to the hospital, all of my Doctor's crew came in and talked to me and made me feel so much better.
  21. I couldn't survive the day without my coffee, and my doctor said it is just fine!
  22. I don't have the larger band, but I had the same thing, get a fill it lasts for a few days and goes away. I got my 6th fill last week, and I am finally getting some restriction. My doctor told me not to worry, I will get to that spot soon. I think this time I am finally on my way! My doctor's office uses the larger band on all his patients now, he said he gets better results with the larger band, so you just need to be patient and they will get you there. Just make sure you keep eating Protein, veggies, and you will be fine. Good Luck!
  23. I would be interested in hearing about the show too, my Tivo is not hooked up right now, so please someone post and let us know about the show!
  24. I love my new fill, for the first time I actually have a little more restriction! I lost 4 pounds since my fill on Tuesday!
