That would be cool! Everything is ok but this house thing is taking up soooo much of our time. Long story...ugh! Unfortunately, we had to postpone the trip for a while.

I can see a difference, Amy. Please don't let what your mother-in-law said get you down. :hug:

Ha ha...we flew our nephew here from Orlando for $260.

Cool beans. I'm so excited for you!!

For those Floridians who were hoping for a get-together this week, please read this thread. :cry http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=250627#post250627

Heather - I started jogging in spurts and now am up to a mile of jogging. I wouldn't necessarily time myself but would stop when I felt like my heart was going to explode from my chest...LOL...not really that bad. I would then walk until my heart rate slowed, but not to a complete rest, and would start jogging again. I thought it would take more time to get to the point of jogging 1 mile, but I surprised myself. As far as weight training is concerned, I don't go full out but rather use lighter weights and lots of reps. I also use my body weight as resistance. Remember, everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another. We should also not compare ourselves to others as we will most likely be let down. You're all beautiful and special in your own way. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

You have no idea, girlfriend. I'm sooooo bummed that I can't meet you. I was really looking forward to it. I have a feeling we'll be down there in a few months though. I'll definitely keep you posted. :hug: :love:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be traveling to Florida this coming week. I'm very sad that I won't be able to meet Telly and others. I hope that at some point we will be able to meet.

It's an old joke but it's still funny.

:cheer2: :Banane55: :Banane56: Congratulations, Amy!! :party: :Banane46: :cheer2:

Very cute! I especially like the keychains.

Yay for Telly!! She definitely rocks the casbah and is such a great motivator. I wouldn't be working out so much if it weren't for her. :biggrin1: I'm extremely grateful for her friendship. :love: :hug:
