Today is my one year Bandiversary! (i am sure this time :sad_smile:) Like Judy, I am not at goal BUT am very happy with how far I have come. When I started this I wore mens 3X t-shirts or 30-32 womens shirts. Stretch pants in 26. Now? To wear 14 jeans (which I have never done) and 6 and 8 stretch...OMG...how wonderful do I feel:biggrin2:. I do not know if I will be at goal in another year honestly but what I know for a fact is that I will not be where I was this time last year ever again! To top it off I quit smoking. Wow, what a year it has been. AND I am going to meet the best ladies in the USA next month....does life get any better? Remember to think of Pammie today! I gotta run take a shower and get ready for my unfill. Have a great day violets!

HAHAHAHAHA:lol::redface::lol:CUTE CUTE CUTE

wow...now THAT is a post!! :redface:

hmmmm, me too! :redface: Have fun with your friends this evening and...WOOT:w00t: I am off tomorrow so today is Friday for me!!

NOW THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!

Good morning everyone! Pamela & Jane-well he finally bit the dust! Kind of like a hemmoroid that kept coming back and never leaving! They finally lasered him off. lol he really was a good player. Part of me hated to see him go, mainly cause he wants to get rid of natalie. I am sure if shiela has her way she will get rid of her for us!! I would like for ANY of them to win but Natalie to tell you the truth! Zyrtec? Hmmmm, I have some of those!! I need to put them to use. OR, I could just be the dealer of the thread and sell them to the highest bidder!! LOL I am not sure what the dr will do today. I am sure either hurt me or make plans to hurt me. But pain will be involved somewhere in there. I saw an episode of Dr Phil the other day about MRSA staph infections that KILL folks. OK, that scared the bejeebers out of me:scared2:. I remember the days of the scales dropping like they are dropping now for Michelle. I wasn't doing anything different either. But I just jumped on it like a surfboard and kept riding until the wave was over! What fun it was to lose weight like that! Enjoy Michelle! I am jealous!:huh2: I need to get Macy ready for daycare. I can not believe my baby starts kindergarten this next school year! Amazing! I will check in before I go to the butcher....

Just a thought....when we are all not gonna lose any more weight will we just call ourselves violets since we won't be shrinking anymore?

Jane-whatever you think is best!! I have biolage conditioner right now and you are right, it is heavy but I have just been using a SMALL amount and washing it out as soon as I put it on there cause I am so worried about it...lol

Good mornin' violets- Terri-Way to go lady!! Brings back memories....man oh man...I forgot what bonuses are like. So tell me again what you decided to have done? I know the upper eye lift, right? What else? Who is doing it? I am bringing dd to school this morning since dh worked last night so I need to get my butt in gear. Have a great day violets! PS...by the way...last time I had that staph thing my dr told me if it comes back again for a 4th time he was gonna go rip it out at the hospital, remember? Well, it is back...EEK! I will let you all know what happens. My dr does not know about it yet. To be continued.....

I third that....

:thumbup::tt2::tongue::tt2::wink2::tt2:

Tracy-my dh thought I was coming back Sunday too. Oh well, keep thinking! LOL They will get over it....

Jane-when you check for biolage, check to see if they have some conditioner too. I have to use wash out conditioner cause leave in conditioner makes my thin hair GREASY!! EEEWWWW!!!

(if I would have lost that lost post I would have been PISSED) lol

Michelle-:eek: way to go on the weight loss :wub: Laura-be careful they don't charge you ten bucks per lemon slice. That would be my luck! Kat-congrats on getting you approval paper in the mail! That is cool.:smile2: Terri-what happened to you having a slow week or two you mentioned? lol never works out the way we think, huh?:smile2: Hey, did you know unfills are at no charge even after our year is up?! Found that out today. Judy-If you quit all of your music stuff you would probably go bonkers! Just think...all you would have time to do then is cruise, exercise and drink crystal light mixed drinks :tt2: Jenn-heard anything about the job you interviewed for? Pammie-did you read about the POV? When adam gave his speech when he put up the 2 nominees, I loved it. He was like "if you want him out (meaning James) fight for the POV". Good point. Tracy-I sure miss seeing you around. Get your butt back here woman...for crying out loud!:frown: Well, I have made a decision. I am going on Friday (my bandiversary) and getting a partial unfill. Here is why...I have gotten to where I can not even eat things that are good for me. The only things it seems I can get to go down my pipes these days is junk. I try to eat oranges or apples or even grapes and I end up PBing. I can not eat steak anymore (my favorite of all time). Then when I try to eat the things that are good for me and PB, then I go into the "oh screw it" mode and I end up turning to junk to be able to feel "satisfied". I would much rather be able to eat healthy things and not PB than to do what I have been doing the past couple of months. After the PB episodes we are supposed to take it easy with liquids/mushies for a couple of days but when I do that....I just end up binging on crap cause I know it is the only thing I can actually get to go down!. I was losing more weight when I was filled to 1.5 and choosing what to eat. I was eating healthier, that is for SURE. I can follow the rules if my band is cooperating. So, back to the basics for me. I am going into my dr on Friday and have them bring it back down some. I am gonna work the band, not the band work me. I am going to be able to eat healthier things again (thank God) and get back on track, once and for all!! For me, fills are not the answer. I would much rather have to watch my portions of what I eat than to only be able to eat high calorie things or stay on liquids the rest of my life! (that is the plan, anyway) :drool: Worked before a few months ago when I was actually losing weight! Wish me luck! (if it backfires, I know how to get back to the dr office) LOL Have a great evening violets.

Good morning violets- Kat-I am so sorry about what you are going through. I can not even begin to imagine. I will be praying for you. Have a good day everyone.

Good evening violets! Tracy-your post made me laugh about the hairy butts...:wink2: Pamela-did you see who won the veto? (I peeked) I could not help myself. Jane-I am gonna pm you about the hair stuff. Judy-love the kitchen & chairs. DH loved it too. Very pretty. CUTE little guy too! He looks like a very happy child! I cancelled my PS appt. too :ohmy:. I just can't do it...money wise, work wise home wise or any other kinda wise. Sounded good. In the grand scheme of things, I guess it just doesn't matter all that much. Maybe one day....until then I'll just live vicariously through Kat & Terri. Have a good evenig violets. Suzie, we will be thinking of you!

ummm... chocolate/reeses cookies and fritos and ice cream!!:cool:

Terri-its not vanity to want to look as good as possible and feel good about yourself....is it? If so, then I am vain too. Hmmm, learn something new every day! Now I will be humming that song "you're so vain" to myself all day :regular_smile: My gosh my band is so tight that I can not eat anything. Maybe TOM is coming early?! Other than that the only thing it could be is the horrible PBs I have been having are keeping it swollen....or maybe both. I am just in a horrible funk lately and can not seem to pull myself out of it. Weight wise and self discipline wise I am doing good. I am just down...:biggrin: and I c an not quite put my finger on exactly what it is. (maybe because there are so many things to choose from) BUT, I have to do is look around me (or watch the news) to see that I do not have it near as bad as others. Talk to you all later!! Pam-sorry about your new dresser....that SUCKS!

Judy-parasailing sounds like so much fun! Where are you cruising to in June? Jane-glad you had fun. I'll bet that is something you wont forget in a long time! DH just got home so I will bbl....

Yep, that is one of those kinda new rules to keep us from bringing that "potent" stuff home and starting up a meth lab at our houses....LOL They have to keep track of who is buying it, can you beleve? GIMME A BREAKKK!!!!!! Hope you feel better soon

Good morning everyone~ Yesterday I got the ball rolling to get things together to bring with me to my PS appt on the 28th. I have 2 drs to go get paperwork & documentation from. I am just so scared that I will get turned down. I wonder if they turn someone down if it is no forever or can I try again at a later time or maybe again next year?! Oh well, whatever will be will be! Supposed to be a very beautiful day here today. DSS and DSD are here this weekend. Last night was pizza night and I was able to eat 3/4 of a piece. That is not bad I think. It was the piece of cookie I ate afterwards that I should be ashamed of! DH worked all night and I am wondering how I am going to keep 3 kids quiet while he sleeps today. That'll be interesting. Jenn-I just love baby kitties!! They are so funny! Judy-how are we today? I hope yu are even better today! Jane-have fun!!! Terri-whats on your agenda today? Just like Pam...dh and I met online as well. SEE...there ARE success stories :tongue: Have a great day everyone! (3 weeks today of no smokes! yay me!)

Wow I was not done with my post.... Happy anniversary Michelle. Sorry you feel bad!! Judy-glad you are feeling a little better. Me not like it when you are sick!! :cursing: Laura-I need a maid too! So are you working out tomorrow at the gym? Have a great night violets!

Terri-heck yeah! That sounds like a great deal. I fI could do it, I would in a heartbeat! Jenn-fingers crossed for your new job! Pam-That math thing is awesome Kat-i daydream about having it done too. God, I hope it happens. If I am declined, I will just have to be happy with myself the way I am (or win the lottery). TracyKS-you are worrying me! You sound like you are mentally in a bad place. Let me help you out....:cursing:
