  1. Melissa-Where is the Target in Pineville? Do you mean Stonecrest? If you do I'm 2 minutes from there LETS MEET!!! Ok I brought a bathing suit last night and I love it! Got it at Sears it was 30% off I think I paid 50 but it is so cute! I'm not modeling for anyone in the house till Cancun..suprise...I plan on taking my other 2 bathing suites to the tailor and see if she can do anything with them. I have not been on the bike since Monday but hopefully today I can get on it. We should all get our bikes and meet at Freedom Park for a bike ride and picinic! We'd be doing something healthy for ourselves and having fun! 3 cars crashed into Kelly on Satuday. She's feeling fine, but I'm making her go to the chiropractor tomorrow anyway. Now I'm waiting to hear from Enterprise about my rental car. What a big pain in the butt! Lucy has the potty training down real well. I hung a bell on the door and she rings it when she needs to go out. She is so cute! Although today she must be board because she is ringing that darn bell every 10 minutes! Hopefully she'll wake up from her nap and forget that she had mommy up and down all morning. We are going to Charlottesville VA this weekend for the steeple chase there. One of Garrys associates from works rents 2 spots by the fence we've been going every year for the past 5 or 6. It's fun. I'm hoping the weather will be good. Well thats it for now. I have my next fill on Tuesday. I really am learning what my band feels like and I like it!! Have a good day.
  2. Hi gang, Isn't this weather fantastic! I rode my bicycle tonight for the first time in a very long time. I was scared half to death when I got going, but then I was fine. My butt hurts though! Have a good night, thinking of all of you.
  3. Hi all I took the weekend off of the computer and just spent an hour trying to catch up. Friday was real quiet around here, glad everyone's back. I went to curves this morning then did my grocery laps and then I can't believe it I took out my bicycle! I haven't done that in a LONG time. I'm always such a chicken when I first get back on it. Wow my butt hurts! I only went a mile but that's more than yesterday. Hope you all have a good night. I'm going to watch 24 and them hopefully sleep straight through the night! I'm trying to get all my water in by 4:30 so I can sleep ALL night! Pat- I sure hope things calm down soon for your son I feel so bad for him. How is his finger doing? How cool that you caught your dinner! I'm impressed! I live near Charlotte NC. SherryW-Congrats on Passing! How exciting for you! Beanie-How is your restriction going. I go for my 2nd fill next Monday. I had to be on liquids for 2 days then mushies for 2 days. You only had to do liquids for 1 day? Wow lucky you. Betty-Hi I hope you got your Harley ride in yesterday. Patty-I'm so glad that you brought yourself flowers and had such a wonderful day. Eileen-Wow Rabies shots! Are they still as terrible as they were years ago. Oh awful! I hope today was a nicer day in NJ. NC has been so pretty and perfect temp. You should move here! Cindy-I'm so sorry about your FIL. Anne-What grade is your son in? It is nice to have them off and also relaxing when school gets back in. Even now with my kids at the community college, when they have a day or week or month..lol off it is fun for me to give myself permission to sleep late make English muffin pizzas and watch soaps. Darcy-Spring is a good pick me up time. I totally understand about not taking drugs. I stopped my wellbrutin since my last surgery. Well today I finally took it again. I just seem to be edgy and impatient. Hugs Bubbame-So sorry to hear that your having such a tough time. It makes me so sad to see the crap that so many people have to go through because of relationships gone bad. Prayers for comfort and peace.
  4. Ok here is my ? Is BP one of the ways we learn to stop eating SO much. Isn't it a warning like slow down or hey thats to much! I have had 2 mini slimes I guess in the past 2 weeks.
  5. LOL This is too funny. Why should we really care. We are the true Starrs!!!! We did it admit it and accomplish it! Lets all just keep up the good work!
  6. wow thats good to know. I'm flying to Cancun on May 13th. I go for anther fill next Tuesday. I've flown for 2 hours and have not had any trouble before but this will be a much longer flight. Thanks for the heads up!

  8. That is wonderful Leatha!!
  9. Thank you all for your encouragement. That makes it even more exciting!! 2 weeks after the surgery I could go back. I love the fact that it is just for women. I haven't been to a gym yet. Maybe down the road when I'm smaller. But for right now this is great and it is very close to my home.
  10. I try to stop drinking a 1/2 hour before sometimes it's 10 minutes before. I do not drink with meals unless it's spagettti then I sip a little milk. I don't drink for 45min to 1 hour after. I didn't think that drinking right up until the meal would be a big deal but my Dr said it is very important not to. It would be interesting to see the difference in WL with drinker and non drinkers..
  11. Hey Patty- the 3 foot club is inches lost! For the 1 ft club I got socks 2 ft club I got a tie shirt and now the 3 ft club I had a choice of a sweatshirt or a free month. We have a board that has all those who have lost the differen't feet. I'm the only one on the 3Ft board. I love curves. With my bad back though I ca't do all of the stations, but I do what I can. I feel guilty because I've never broken a sweat there and I think I'm suposed to. After I do my stretches I do at least 60-90 crunches. Not with one of those helper things, I do it on my own. I'm in such a good mood today!!! Have fun with the Disney nerds..I want t be a Disney Nerd!
  12. I am so excited I can't SEE STRAIGHT! :eek: :mad: I actually started to cry when she said yes you made it!!! 3 feet and 61 pounds! Wow I'm so happy I love my BAND!!! I'm so excited I just can't hide it I'm about to lose my butt and I just can't hide it!!! :cool: :cool: :Banane56: :cool: :cool: :cool:
  13. Oh Angie- I didn't know you were going through all of this. I'm so sorry. Your prayers are with me. Please give me a call anytime if you want to talk or need a listener. Try not to stress with the weight right now, you have to much other stuff going on. I know, easier said than done. My prayers are with you. Miss you all Melissa, I can meet I just have to meet after 10:30. We have a great group here! Ok clothes exchange is in order we can do it at my house if you'd all like I'll even make a meal for us all. I have tons of summer stuff mostly 24's and some shoes that are to big now too. Oh we are going to an all inclusive place in Cancun. I'm excited! I am really not going to have to many drinks since the calories are so bad, but when I do have one I will toast to all of you, my friends.
  14. I'll be flying on the 13th, I'll wave from the plane. Miss ya
  15. I'm sorry sorry your having such a hard time. Do you want the band? I know even being on my second band I would have another if insurance let me. Take it easy on yourself...hugs...
  16. Congratulations. Welcome to bandland. Your gonna love it here!
  17. Where is Angie? Is she ok? Souvenirs..no problem, anything special? Today is a mushie day for me. My GF who had the bypass is back in the hopsital. I spoke with her this morning. That girl NEEDS to get better. She has lost 47 pounds in 7 or 8 weeks. I feel bad for her. I may go visit this afternoon and see how shes doing. If you think of it pls say a little prayer for Amy.
  18. I'll have one for you though...
  19. Karen-DON"T please don't sit back and be quiet! You have done that for to long! You should call the insurance company everyday and bug them until you get a yes! Really I have heard this over and over again about the squeky wheel they will just say ok to shut you up and who cares if they don't like you calling it is there job to denie you, it is your job to get approved. Sorry I just get so impatient with insurance companies and other offices that think they know it all and are right all the time. hugs
  20. Ira- How exciting for both of you! I wish my DH would consider losing. He says he is but then he opens up the last bag of jelly beans! Eileen- Thanks for the hugs and kisses! Paula- Were having a major drought also I didn't think of the poor birds needing a bath! I came up with a GREAT idea! You all are gonna think I'm nuts but I think it is a good one. Today at curves, which is right next to the grocery store, I was talking to this girl who had just lost a lot of weight and she was talking about walking and how much it help to ton. Anyway she said that you should walk 10tHOUSAND steps a day if you want to lose. She is going to curves 6 days a week and walking 5 miles almost everyday. After curves I went to the store to get milk and then I got my great idea. Walking the isles! I mean we always need something. Ok so the key would be not to go when hungry, but people walk in the malls why not pick up toilet paper and lose some weight at the same time. I always come up with it's to hot, it's to cold, I'm to tired...but I have no excuses to not buy milk cause of the tempature! If the Subway guy can eat subs and lose we can do the isles and lose, and keep our families happy cause we have food in the house! I know I'm nuts...but I'm going to get a counter and see how many steps it is to do the isles..OK I need a life..have a good day...
  21. Anne- OH OH those kiddies are adorable! I loved Easter when the kids were little. Hiding those eggs were so much fun. LOL now my son hides them cause I forget! I know the feeling only to well about trying to catch up! It is not easy! Pat- Sorry to hear that you may have to wait so long. Psych eval sounds like a good idea! Patty- I hope you did it to the X today! Your so funny. I think we have 40 and it seems to be enough for us. With ours you can save the ones you want longer if you want. But 40 hours seems to be about a week worth of CSI's and what ever else where recording. Kelly- I'm worried about you. We are all here for you. Hang in there. Praying for you. Beanie- Thanks for the encouragement. I've been battling the same 4 pounds for a few weeks now. This fill will hopefully help!! I did have a VERY SMALL..don't yell...Sunday tonight. I promise I won't do that again for a very long time. Tomorrow is MUSHIES yay, I'm so excited! Well I took crazy Lucy to the vet today. I got another advertiser..yay..I was a real crab earlier in the day. I had liquid days when I'm not alone! I'm off to watch something on TV and relax. Hope you all have a good night. Hugs coming from nc also! Night night
  22. I'll be drinking pina coladas in Cancun....have fun
  23. Kim-LOL..sorry, but Im glad they got it! I heard you were the handler when Judy called. I'm so glad I have to only wait 2 weeks to have another fill. We go on our vacation on the 13th so it will be perfect timing. I sent Karen an email and talked about lunch also. I could pick you up on my way down. I have no idea when though, I have to hurry and get more advertisers the next 3 weeks. But you know me and lunch I'm sure we'll be able to do it. I haven't looked at Saturday's plans yet but I won't be able to make it if we are meetin in the AM I have choir practice. Hope everyone is having a great night. type at cha tomorrow
  24. Karen, I bet you feel better now that the letter is done. Hang in there God knows what he's doing even if the insurance companies DON"T!
  25. Betty-It was to so much fun I still laugh about it when I think of it. Patty-I'm a ditz! CA is far wow. I didn't realize you were all the way OVER THERE..lol. Well ya never know sometime I may visit. We have DVR which is thought the cable company. I don't remember what we pay for it but I love it. I'm watching my soaps right now!!! Cindy-I remember those state tests I hated those things! Hope you get to relax during Idol. Eileen-Get rid of that boss!! Yello to you too. SherryW-6 pounds Wow that is fantastic! I had my first fill today. I haven't lost in about 3 weeks. What are you doing? How many days of liquids and mushies? I have liquids today and tomorrow and then mushies for 2 days. It is nice that you are so close with your mom. Hopefully your siblings will open their eyes and see that you are such a loving caring person and how lucky they are to have you. Beanie- 101 wow stay cool. You are so cool girl. I hate scales mine hasn't been behaving lately. I'm thrilled that I had my fill today I am so ready! Ok I'm off to bed. Have a good night.
