Ok who snuck a holiday in here last week. LOL I picked up a pound. Go figure...Doing more exercise and watching close what I eat except salad I can't really see it well under all the croutons...Opps maybe thats it. Damn ever read the side of a croutin package, Holy cow. So this week its swear off them darn croutons. Going to have to have my salad naked. Oh well Adam and Eve didn't have croutons either. Hope to have a better week... Hope you all do too. Teresa & Michelle your doing great job....Ty michelle for starting this. It was a Godsend to get me out of the everyday scale peeking that doesn't help at all. In old days this one pound gain would have sent me on a eating spree instead made me get on treadmill and do my 5 miles first thing so its done and out of the way.. Won't spend all day trying to come up with things to do or reason not to get on the darn thing. Done, finato kaput over and out roger.

Ryan & Patty, Will put both of you in our Church Prayer Book and the Congregation will hold you both Up this weekend. Best wishes for a spedy proceedure and a quicker recovery.

Becky, Homey don't play those games....What I asked was what side does he like. Will I be on your right or left??? lol

Lisa I'm stuck... I have to be there when Becky is remember Becky said:I'd love to share a room. If any of you guys are toasty warm like my hubby, I'll sleep with you! I answered:Think you just made up my mine for me I'm coming LOL Well to hold her to her promise I have to be there when she is. (But she has an out cause I really can't be there on Labor day weekend)

TLK Whats long term for you. Here in Michigan its only been available since 2001. Most I know haven't had it for more then a year. but even in that time everyone seems to be doing well. I have a friend who had his done Feb 2004 and he is two pounds form his goal weight. He lost somewhere around 90 pounds.

The Lawyer A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the driver's door of the Lexus. The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and it wasn't more than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again. After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life." "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer. The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you." "Oh, no!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?"

Jamie Your Missing Juicy Threads! Where what did I miss that sure isn't like me LOL

LOL I know had my left wrist done Nov 21 2003 and right one Jan 22 2004

cadydid, Detroit Metro Airport DTW is close and so would be Bishop Airport in Flint Michigan. I will be scheduled off from work and at this time I will be available to make trips back and forth from airport to Hotels/Motels in the area. Just let me know flight times and sleeping locations. I have an Explorer so I can hande several people at a time. I figure if I charge $100.00 per person to shuttle you back and forth the cost of getting into the hall won't seem so bad LOL LOL.. More to come as our committee gets things lined up but anyone who wants to come just has to get to the airports we'll figure out getting you into town.

Ok many of you may not know this but you won't be able to call and get the time anymore on the phone. So if you want the proper date and time here is a site where you can get it. No Matter how much they pay this timekeeper it can't be enough http://www.yugop.com/ver3/stuff/03/fla.html

roro You sound like so many of us...SO stay here with us, laugh with us, learn with us and have fun with us BUT most of all LOSE WEIGHT with us. Membership to this family is only respect...for yourself and others here. Want to join????.. Oh yes thats a daily fee too.

At this point I'm iffy on 9 & 10 but it would be the only one I can make. Just had the time off turned down for the 2 & 3 since more senior dispatcher take that Holiday off. If not Lisa we can do lunch again when I get there In Nov or Dec

Becky what side of the bed does he like???

Lisa, Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You are one hell of a trooper here girl. I'm so honored I got to have lunch with you. My son still talks about how cute he thinks you are. Interest in a 21 yr old.. I'll pay you a month fee to take him LOL And I agree with the others that say you should not waste time on an idiot... get yourself better. But if you do find out who it is and you need someone hurt let me know LOL... I'll post about their mamma...

Melissa, What kind of hair products do you use... Thicker I CAN USE THICKER lol I guess they say you can't grow grass on cement

Betty, Darcy Harleynana Thank you. Betty I saw the other thread too and no I am not getting a big head. But Becky should...isn't she adorable???? Becky had a hard enough time sizing the one I had into this small area..lol But she did it. Think she used a pattern from one of her hats.

Becky, You must have missed the fine print on my posting. Hmm go back and re-read.

Zoe. I took a PM Pole and everyone decided this time the 1/2 pound will count ...lol Of course it counts....Even zero weight change counts as a weight loss. Remember the old days when it was always going up...Not anymore(with the exception of a few weeks a year...we're entitled). Congraulations Zoe, Sammy, Betty and Becky... Great job. If anyone is interested in an Easter challenge We can run a thread on that. I'll try to do beter job with stats this time unless someone else wants to volunteer??? Since its really not a big eating holiday with the exceptioon of Easter Sunday maybe we can run it as a support to stay away from candy??? Any Ideas?? fine print:malted milk eggs that turn your mouth blue and pink don't count as forbidden food

Good job Michelle. Take what ever we can get... And Marcy I always will take a week with no gain then one with gain..Your doing fine but stay off that scale till next Monday... That daily scale checking will hurt your moral I had a good week thanks to getting regular on that treadmill again. Hope those who haven't posted yet today for this week had good results.. If not hey its another week starting today

Ty becky, Your a real help

Ok Someone please tell me how to get that tickerfactory slide bar on my screen. I have one made but can't figure out how to post it. Duh

Darcy... Want something safe for the flight to take the edge off try a few doses of Benadryl...It was what the Dr recommended to us when my daughter decided a few days before we flew to Flordia that she wasn't flying. And it worked wonders. Now we can't keep her off planes...Maybe she is hooked on Benadryl...lol

Jamie, Shame on you to think I'd post without haveing first hand knowledge LOL.

Pati, Being able to give a good burp was a pre-exsisting condition I had and keep after surgery. But like you and many others right after surgery it was hard to get it to roll even thought you felt you'd blow up if you didn't. If I got up and walked around It would work lose and I could expell the gas without trouble. I'm just over 5 months out and I have no trouble with gas. Actually If I don't burp it find the path of least resistance and generaly comes out the other end. So I try not to hold it in. I think you will find with time your system will settle down and this won't be a pain any more. but the gas isn't going away. lol

Jonathan, I don't have time right now to read your story. I have A large bowl of Chicken soup calling me back into the kitchen....BOY OH BOY can I relate to this. The Demons went easy at first when I got banded. Then I got way to comfortable and they came in the back door and tried to overtake me again and the battle has been on since. I know for a fact I am winning but its not easy and I will never again become comfortable. I know its a life long battle to eat right and I am determined to fight it till the day I die. ( after that I think they only serve salad in heaven...never seen a fat angle) Thanks for sharing jonathan...Between you and whippledaddy I don't know who is more elegant of a writer.
