NJChick

Good Afternoon, Jessica Welcome !!! I think I'm the only one from NJ on this thread LOL. Sounds like your near Paramus. I'm near Ramsey. Good to have you here. Mandy the suits look great, keep them all. I am off and running, we are having a birthday party for my DD today and people are coming around 4 pm. Still lots to do and so little time. Work is okay, sosdd.... Cindy, my boss has been to busy to say stupid chit to me lately but he is still there LOL. I'm still overwhelmed with work and I'm still doing 80% of my old job as well *FAINT*. But things are okay. Aunt Flo finally visited me last night...its not a normal visit, spotty but shoot...after 2 months of not getting it wth. Okay kids, its so good to see you all but I gotta run....I'll be back tomorrow morning. :huggie:

Hi Girlies, I just wanted to pop in and say have a great week everyone. Nothing much is going on for the week, me like Cindy would really like to get below that 200 mark but wth? with the stress of my job lately, family issues and not getting my period for 2 months dieting just seems so overwhelming at the moment. I really need to start exercising..I know that will help but how can you exercise when your so darn tired all the time....vicious cycle I tell yah LOLOL. So, my pretties....have a blessed week ahead and I hope to sneak in during the week and chat. Luv yah's

Toni, sorry I don't know of any doctors that will take you but thats not to say there aren't any. You might want to call your local hospitals and see if they know anyone who will be willing to do your after care. Its a good place to start.

Good Morning Ladies and boy is it beautiful here in NJ. The AC is off and the windows are open ahhhhhh beautiful... lovely day to clean but WTF....screw that. We are off to the Renaissance Fair in NY State today (its the last weekend) Welcome to the Sterling Renaissance Festival Its only a 25 minute drive from our house. Then its a late day birthday party for a 7 year old and then home to rest my dogs (feet). Mandy I don't know about you but watching HSM 2 was painful for me last night LOLOLO zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ~ My DD loved it but was so tired that she went to sleep right after and missed the Hanna Montana show...which I'm sure they will repeat all weekend long lolol. That boy in HSM2 is in Hairspray.... If I were 10 years old, I' would have a crush on him too, he is so cute. Well goils, I gotta get ready, we're leaving in 1 hour and I have to throw in a load of laundry b/4 I go as well as paint my eyes TTYL and have a Blessed Saturday.

Hello Ladies, Took DD to see Hairspray....John Travolta just cracked me the heck up. IMHO he made the movie. Kat WHOLLY SCHOMOLEY who is that woman on your avatar ???? It can't be the same person, it just can't. You look FANTASTIC girl, you really do...you were pretty at your highest weight and you are even more HOT now...WTG and congratulations, you've done a wonderful job. You really are an inspiration. BEANIE BEANIE BO BEANIE...... *SMOOCHIES* I'm so glad your back and things are finally coming together for you. We really missed you here. WELCOME HOME Crispy & Sherry, when do you leave for Disney? I bet your going to have so much fun. Take lots of pictures and do share. I'd like to do Christmas at Disney...maybe some day. Cindy chickie.... "dork" LOLOL you had me rolling with that one. When is your picnic? Patty your doing wonderful with your band....slow is great and its so healthy so keep up the good work and I'm glad your doc listened to you. My DD just had her 2nd pox shot back in June. Did the doctor warn you that they could get a fever in a few weeks and break out in what looks like a rash? if not, just beware that it can happen. My dd had a fever for 2 days but no rash about 3 - 4 weeks after her shot. Betty....staying cool? tomorrow its going to be a high of 75 but its going to heat up again on Monday....sheesh we missed alot of the summer. How's work? Well girls I gotta go. High School Musical 2 is on tonight and DD is really looking forward to that. Have a great weekend...see you later taters.

Where in NJ are you ?

Good Morning Goils, Thank you all for the Happy Birthday Wishes yes, I'm finally 30 years old... We celebrated at work for 3 days in a row...not good considering it was cake and ice cream brought in by different people LOL Tonight is a friends 40th birthday party carribean style. I made 4 batches of spinach dip for this party and just the thought of eating it (although its so yummy) gives me gas LOLO pffffffffft. Dat's alotta scallions. CINDY: You look fantastic in your picture and your looking like your daughters sister instead of mother...GOOD JOB :clap2: I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. Darcy, man is it good to see you....full of crap or not lol. Watcha been doing this summer other than painting, moving and packing...prob not much more than that huh. Patty glad your home safe and sound...ohh funnel cake *DROOOOL* I could prob eat an entire one myself b/c they go down so nicely with all that grease LOL. Watcha up to this weekend? :cry Betty, yesterday it rained so much the weather dropped to 70 degrees, it was dang cold LOL, but today its back up to almost 90 and sunny. I can't believe summer is almost gone.... I wouldn't mind the season changes if it just stayed lighter out. I just hate in the winter when its dark at 5 pm Sherry.......... how did your week go? Mine was okay, my boss was so cranky and made the tension at work kinda thick, but hopefully he'll get laid and that'll be the end of his crappy attitude :heh: Kat.....you and I share CRAFT disease :faint: ... Can't Remember A F***** Thing ROFLMFAO..... Good to see things are quiet by you. I miss Anne and Beanie and Pat and a few others that use to visit us, Hopefully they'll pop in and say hi. Wonder how Donna is doing :kiss2: Have a wonderful fun filled weekend and behave now..... see you tomorrow :kiss2: .

Hey Trish..... Just wanted to pop in and say hello to an old friend....long time no see How is everything going? Hi Kat....

Good morning everyone, Last night was fun, we swam in the pool until about 10 PM. Would have been there longer if it wasn't for that nasty skunk that sprayed near our home LOLOL the sky was awesome, the stars were insanely bright and beautiful and the Water was around 88 degrees. I'm tired today lol. Today I'll be folding lotza laundry and maybe I'll even sneak in a movie. We have the old movie Rat Pack with Frankie, Sammy and others nuthin like the old stuff I tell yah. Well girlies you all have a great day and a wonderful week ahead. ENJOY... ttyl .

Good Morning Ladies, Its so good to come in here and see you all. Work has been insane but what else is new eh. My dogs are barking woof ~ (that means my feet hurt). We walked for 4 hours yesterday at the NJ State Fair in this blistering 100 degree heat. One good thing is, when its that hot, none of that fair food tempts me. The only thing I had was a fruit smoothie. DH on the other hand had 2 funnel cakes, a HUGE philly cheese steak, 3 fruit smoothies, french fries, fudge and an ice cream...... and he doesn't have an ounce of fat on his body to lose, go figure. What amazes me is with the heat, he didn't get sick. Anyway we did have a good time LOL. They also had lots of farm animals there......... I didn't know Ox's were bulls with their hay hay's cut off. Patty your Fiesta sounds WONDERFUL, thats something I would really enjoy and 5 whoppin days of it...geepers. How are you doing darling with the band? Mandy I'm so glad you are home and your on your way to feeling better. I also have a huge incision across my ab's (from having my appendix out...no laproscopic for this chick OY). Its like from one side of my hips to the other. The only advice I can give you is be very very careful not to lift or do to much to soon or you will develop scar tissue that could wrap around your intestins (like I have)...it is VERY VERY painful. I was in the hospital for 10 days...then the doc told me no laundry, nothing for 8 weeks.......did I listen... NOOOOOO, so now I'm paying for it. Be careful and baby yourself...really baby yourself. Darcy......... I MISS YOU !!!! I'm going back to read July's thread but I see your moving into the cabin? Way to cool. How are you? Kat wish Rick a Happy Belated Birthday for me and I'm glad he is doing better. I can only imagine his frustrations but its nice he got another birthday to Celebrate .... how are your new chit kickers and how is the baby girl doing? Cindy I'm jealous, an entire day to pamper yourself...lucky duck. What concert are you going to see? What are your plans for the coming school year, are you volunteering there? Dianne, how are you love, how are the legs? any news on the surgery? I know I haven't been here in a while...but..you know how that goes. Glad your loving your new job. Sherry all I can say is hang in there with your job. I know exactly how you feel... tired !! You know.... and I know this is easy for me to say but if I were you, I would just try to maintain until you see your doctor and not worry so much about weight loss. With that stress and the stress of your job your gonna crack. Try to enjoy whats left of the summer and a new bike and tattoo....you go girl Betty ..... boo !!! watcha up to lately? how's the footsies doing? is your pool back to normal? Beanie where are you? Well girlies I'm gonna blow this popcorn stand Have a groovy wonderful day and remember...your ALL BEAUTIFUL so SMILE :biggrin1:

Good Morning, Woweeee I'm the first one here....how odd. Well let me go get some cawfeee and I'll be back. Giggle ***

Hey Crispy girl, I musta been typing while you were posting... nice to see you. Good luck with the new bo ...... and he's right, your beautiful just the way you are

Good Morning Ladies, Sherry I'm so glad your feeling better, and October isn't all that far away but I can certainly understand how you feel. How's Mom? Kat and her chit kickin boots whooot I'm so glad baby girl is feeling better, and I agree with you, I love the 2's. I've always said I've never seen a terrible 2...its usually when they hit 3 or 4. We have a helmet law here in Jersey as well for kids. They have to wear them up to the age of 14. You will see most adults wearing them here b/c its just a good safety thing. You might want to shop on line for a good helmet for her...they sell kiddie sizes at amazon.com or they should be in your local toys r us. They have really cute ones that look like motor cycle helmets cept these have Disney princesses on them LOL. My DD has a tricycle and she does not go on it without her's. Cindy loo, sounds like you had a fun day finding all your goodies Hey.... I'm not dedicated...not yet.... I'm just TRYING... talking the talk and walking the walk are two different things, when I start walking I'll let you know ROFLMFAO !!! *giggle* We went swimming last night, in the dark, with the full moon above, it was soooo coool, but boy am I tired this morning, we swam for at least 3 hours non-stop. The moon was so clear, so bright and so big..awesome!!! I even did a little chunky dunkin Ooooooop! it just amazes me how fat floats ROFL. Well girlies....now that I left you with that horrible visual...have a good day. heheheheheheheheeeee

Good Afternoon, House is clean *AHHHHHH* laundry is done *DOUBLE AHHHH* LOL Good to see you all this lovey day. Nothing much is going on cept work and the usual home stuff. Got a Caribbean theme birthday party coming up in 2 weeks and I need to make some party favors for that. I have some bubbles with fish on them and I'm tying a ribbon with the person's who's birthday it is on it....they look cute. Easy peasy is what I like My boss has me traveling to Maryland in September ICK!!!! I hate traveling but there's nothing I can do about it. At least he is getting me limo service to the train station. I hate the thought of sleeping in a hotel where other people have slept...ewww that just gives me the willies. Kat *CONGRATULATIONS* :whoo:on your 100 lb victory, how FREAKIN awesome is that. I am soooooo very very happy for you. I am still struggling to get back on track so today I decided to put the breaks on and start logging everything into fitday AND I'm gonna get my ass back on the dreadmill. I'm wasting to much time dilly dallying around. YOU GO GIRL... you see this is exactly the motivation I need *hugs* How is your darling grand baby? Cindy have fun with your FIL today in Chinatown :hungry: . When do the kids start up school in Texas? Our kids don't start until Sept 6th. Sherry how are you feeling since your unfill? I think about you every time I take those prilosec pills lol. Glad you had fun at your lady gathering Mandy glad your enjoying your job. Patty girl, congrats on your big WL :clap2: have fun at Mom's with the kids. How is Lewis feeling? My DD had a fever in the beginning of the week, lasted 2 days but she's all better now. I went to Ringling Bro. Circus about 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. Did you see the guy with the big hair? LOLOL Betty Boop.... you still cleaning your yard? Its a very hot sticky muggy day here in NJ. We are on storm watch for the next few days. We had a big one last night that scared the crap out of my dog LOL. Its kinda weird because its sunny one minute and if you see black clouds rolling in ya better make a run for it Well girlies, I'm gonna go get my ass either in the pool or dreadmill, then its food shopping and some cooking for the coming week. I'm thinking of making crab-cakes that I saw barefoot contessa make on her show a few weeks ago mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm. Have a wonderful Saturday Toodles

Janet how are you feeling? I am now starting to get it (acid reflux) and I decided to treat it myself (for now). About two weeks ago I went to bed right after having a cup of coffee and I woke up with such a burning sensation. Some days its not bad and some days its on fire. That'll teach me to drink coffee (or anything) and go to sleep right away. I need to get back to the band rules. Hope the prilosec (sp?) helps. If not its to the docs for me.

Good Morning, Betty I hope your tootsies are better soon :car: Cindy Happy Bandiversary :car: you are doing wonderful...we all are really. Maintaining and being happy is AWESOME!!! you rock girlie. Crispy, Mandy HELLO *WAVE* I need to start getting my chit in gear. I layed down one night after a cup of coffee (2 weeks ago) and woke up with heartburn/acid reflux. Its two weeks now and its not going away. I decided to take some prilosec and see what happens... OYVEY!!! Some days its good and others it burns all day long WTF? I'm also taking maalox (sp?) Maybe I need to have a soft/liquid diet for a few days as well... can't hurt with the wl LOL. NO WAY am I going for another fill NOPE NODDA CAN'T MAKE ME...NOPE UT UH. Anyway.... went food shopping this morning at 7 AM so thats done, made some tuna salad for the week and now I could use a nap LOL. How are all you other girlies doing? .

Good Morning, Geeze it feels like I've been gone forever. Mandy good luck with your surgery Betty, golly I had no idea you had hurt your foot like that. I think you need to wear some steel boots b/c your poor feet are taking a beating lately. How are you feeling?? Kat... now why does your dh dislike...okay hate purple so much. I can understand about the hitch not matching the bike but why does he cringe when you wear purple? I love purple... my bedroom is lavender with cream trim, white doors and sage green rug. Shall I send him pictures HAHAhAHA .....Actually light blue is my favorite color then pink LOL How is your Darling Granddaughter??? is she feeling better? Cindy I know what you mean on getting a handle on what I am eating. No way do I want another fill... I just need to work at it at this point and I have no desire to stop eating the junk... OY VEY!!!! I'm doing better with my Water this week thats for sure, now I need to make healthy choices and STOP picking between meals. How's DD loving the summer break? Patty your day sounded like fun.... I got hypnotized YEARS ago for weight loss. After it was over I ran to burger king for a whopper... yeah it worked haaaaaaaaaaa lolol. My dd did it for smoking... he walked out of the building and lit up. What a waste of money. Glad your Disney trip was fun. Well nothing much is going on at my neck of the woods. Got the same email as you all from the Beanster. I'm glad she is ok. Its a beautiful weekend so far in Jersey....so we're gonna do some swimming and cough cough cleaning. How you doin? (((geeze that sounded like Raspusha from the movie Norbit lolol)

Hi Ladies, Good to see your all hanging in there. Weekends go by to quick btw lol. I really miss Beanie... I looked for her email and couldn't find it ...the one from her new job. I'll have to dig some more on my work computer because I know I have it some where. Hope she's okay. Pat !!!! where are you ... lurking around trouble maker LOLOL we miss you too darlin. Yeahhhh you to Darcy love. Well its almost time to get DD in the shower and we need to get our stuff ready for tomorrow (the week). I made some sloppy joes (we call it cowboy chopmeat lol) and some mac salad for the week. I really need to get my chit together and start drinking more Water and really try to make healthier choices. I'm eating like a swine I sware. Can't get alot in but I'm picking ALLLLL day. I wonder whats it gonna take to wake my arse up again ?? sheeesh. Anyway.... you all have a grand evening and a wonderful week ahead. TTYL .

Good Morning, WOW alot to catch up with here LOL. Works been hairy to say the least...sosdd. I'm just gonna do some cleaning today, pool time and off to dinner with some friends Kat I'm so glad that precious bambino is feeling better and home. I would suspect her tummy is going to hurt for a few months. Stomach problems like that are tough. How's Rick today? Sherry what a relief to hear your feeling better. How much fill did you have before they took some out? you see thats exactly what I'm afraid of... getting to tight. How are you feeling? Dianne girl, I'm sorry you have to have surgery but I can't wait to hear that your legs are feeling better. My Dad had the same problem, he didn't have surgery but I remember his legs hurting so much from the veins. Do me a favor...after this surgery thats it !!!! no more for you missy...You've had enuf! Patty, listen..don't be discouraged over other people and how fast they lose weight. IMHO slow is safe, healthy and good. You are going in the right direction. Shoot, I haven't lost weight in MONTHS !!!! but thats my own fault...to many goodies ya know. I really feel that going slow with the fills and the weight loss is the safest way to go. Chrispy I'm so sorry to hear about your friend...how devistating Betty, Cindy, Pat, Darcy (Happy Birthday btw), Beanie , Mandy and the rest of you lovely ladies.... Have a WONDERFUL weekend.

I agree with the others here...give it a few days, you could be swollen. I can't eat pork either (steak is tough to eat too). I would suggest liquids as well for a few days. .

Dianne sweetie !! what sort of surgery are they going to do on your leg???? is it the area where the clots are starting (the vein?). Feel better honey and good luck with your new job on Monday...your gonna rock-em !!! .

OMG Kat whats left to say??? my heart sank reading your post. I don't know but can understand how heart breaking this must be and I'm so sorry you all have to go through this. You have every right to open your mouth at that hospital (patients rights ya know). When Kelsy is home, safe and sound....report thier ass's. You are all in my prayers . Hi girlies.... nothing doing today SOSDD...maybe carnival tonight and fireworks but thats about it :eek: Have a good Saturday everyone. .

Oh Kat, that little baby doll is in my prayers. I hope you and your dd are feeling better fast. Sherry I hope they find out FAST whats going on with you, poor dear. Lets all pray it is something they can fix with an unfill and you'll be back to feeling good again. Nothing happening here...... Luv yah's. Eileen

~Happy 4th Of July ~ Hey there girlies, just popping in to say hello. Its a rainy day here in Jersey, no fireworks which is kinda good b/c I have to work tomorrow. Kat, how is your Granddaughter? poor baby is in my prayers. You know, when its an adult its tough but when its a little one it just changes things totally. Sherry love, what time do you eat dinner? I've noticed that if I eat after 7 pm, I get acid reflux.... I haven't had it in a few months but the other day I had a cup of coffee and went to bed, the coffee musta layed in the esphogus and the next morning (and during the night) OMG the burning. I haven't had coffee these past few days and it feels like its getting better but lordy, some times it can take weeks. I guess if there is food or things like coffee laying in the pouch OUCH!!! Feel better and let us know how you are feeling. COOL Tattoo Patty, Betty, Cindy Loo, Dianne, Mandy....how's it hanging ? Anyone hear from Beanie ?? I really miss her. Well a few more miutes on the :ranger: and then its dinner time. Talk to you Saturday.... Luv yah's. .

I'm back I have such a headache.... I could feel it in my sleep and its coming from my neck..oy vey. Oh Betty for us to drain and fill our pool would be about $500.00 in Water, either by tanker truck or if we use town water it could cost more. I think thats great $50.00. Hope the rain STOPS. Yesterday was Mom's birthday so this morning we're gonna head on off to see her, she's not far. Clean, cook, pool time...the usual for today. How bout you guys?
