Hi All, I have really been down for the past few months. I have been thinking that I can't work my band. I have not lost any weight over that period and was really beating myself up. Well I decided to get my butt into the doctors for a fill. The only thing standing in my way was well....ME!! hahaha So I has a fill yesterday and am recommitting to my band. I have to remember that I have lost 85 pounds! That is incredible! I could never have done that and kept it off without my band. If I didn't have my band and went through the last few months I would have surely gained and thankfully I did not. So the down side for me so far is that if I stop eating right I just do not lose - but I also do not gain! So I am in the process of an attitude readjustment. I can do this - I will do this. Anyway - I hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for listening!

Hi Everyone! Just sneaking here to say hello! Busy day at work - payroll!! I had another fill this morning. I can hardly believe I am rapidly approaching my bandaversary! I hope you all are doing well!

Hi Everyone! I have been gone for awhile so I thought I would pop in to say hello. Our banniversary is rapidly approaching! I just had a fill today to try to kick start some more weight loss. I have not been a very good girl the last few months. Time to get re committed to my band. I hope you all are doing well....GROOVY!

I like bats too. I need to find a bat house so I can get them to move out of the attic. I am sure the home owners association will have a problem with a bat house though.

I have bats living in my attic.

{{{hugs}}} Susan! I will be thinking about you girlfriend!

I am frazzled! I started school again. My youngest daughter moved out of the house this morning. Heading for Texas. She left at 4:30 am. I cried for two hours. I am so happy no one has asked me to my face today about how do I like my empty nest. It sucks. I want my kids back!! I know it is time for me to put on my big girl pants and grow up. I just want a few days to mourn the passing of this period in my life. I have spend the last 20 years with my kids and now they are gone. I want my pity party!!!

Hopefully you all can help me get an attitude readjustment! Brandy chased me down on Facebook! She must have felt a disturbance in the force!

Hi Everyone! I thought I would pop in and say hello. I haven't been on the site in a while. I need to get back. I have fallen off the wagon...well actually have been dragging behind the back left wheel. I need a fill and have been eating chocolate. Whew...that feels better.

Yes, it did but it was soooo fun!! I just had to much - I just have to have one or two glasses.

Wine-o-Thon!! hahahahahaha It was a blast! Wine is my friend - just not my weight loss friend! lol Next time we will have to count glasses so we can stay on track.

believe me I want to let him have it but I have to be careful until after I get the support check. I would love to send him a long goodbye and good riddance email after that check clears. Seriously - He is such a man-hoe that just might happen. This is the man who I thought was the best thing since sliced bread when I met him at 20. Over our 20 years together he cheated on me, beat my kids, punched and beat my dogs and horse, put holes in the walls etc etc etc. I was an total idiot to stay with him for as long as I did. I kept thinking it would get better and had a huge fear of not being able to care for the kids on my own. He finally made the choice and ran off with his affair #8. He left when I was at the park with my little girls. Emptied out the bank acounts, closed the credit cards. He did leave me the kids and 67 bucks in change. I am so ashamed of that part of my life. He did me such a favor - I brushed myself off, moved in with my mom, enrolled in college and got a job. I really learned to put on my big girl pants and quick. I am so much better off now.

Beth - Yipee Great News!!! Ex Update - just received this email from him. I replied with my address and kept my mouth shut on the other crapiola. Ex- I have spoken with my lawyer again and, contrary to his advice, am sending you the full amount for Feb. Although I am confident that the court would find in my favor on this issue, it simply is not worth the emotional or monetary cost to justify me pursuing it. I just want this ugly and painful part of my life to be over with and behind me. What I simply can't understand is how you can't see the logic of the lower amount. If you had any other monetary transaction that was to end on the 8th would you expect to pay for the full month? I mean really, why can't you see that?? I really wanted to write him back and be a beeoch about the painful and ugly part of his life - child support! Good grief! I was good and will keep my mouth shut until after I get the payment and it clears.

Thank you plain for the support. I heart you!

Our order is from Colorado and it is until she is 19 years old. My attorney says he has to pay the full amount of support each month she is 18 at the beginning of the month. There is no order for any college help at all since they do not do that in Colorado. He is a pilot in the military. He makes well over 100k per year. He is just cheap. He tries to get out of helping wherever he can and has done so since the divorce.

Yes, he is ordered to pay me a certain amount on the 1st of each month. Feb. will be the last month he has to pay as my youngest will reach 19. He thinks that since her birthday is on the 8th of Feb he only has to pay for 8 days of support. I called my attorney and she said it is absurd. Here is a breakdown of the emails Ex- I just wanted to let you know that the final child support payment will be coming by check instead of automatic deposit. It should get there by the 1st no problem, but I thought you would appreciate the heads up. Also want to make sure that you are tracking that it will be less since Chelsea turns 19 on the 8th of the month. ME - Please direct me to the child support statute that allows you to prorate child support. I cannot find where your authority lies. Our order says you pay a monthly amount with no mention of prorating anything. Thanks. Ex - So let me ask you, honestly, if you were the one paying would you be saying the same thing? I really don't understand you sometimes. UNBELIEVABLE!! He thinks that I do not pay to support the children! He sees them 2 weeks per year - that is all. No weekends - holidays very very few and far between. He has them for two weeks and that is it. No homework help - no dr.s appoitments, no phone calls - nothing!! Nothing for 9 years!!! thank you for letting me vent.

I need more mobbies too! I need one more to pull off a big drug smuggling with my airplanes! I have the planes but am short one mobbie! hahahaha they would probably not be very happy with you! :tt1: same here girlfriend! That is what I do to my teenagers - it works like a charm! hahahaha I am glad you are doing well and will keep my fingers crossed that you get your steak! A delicious filet mmmmmm - now I want steak too!! I hope you are ok! Lulu - keeping my fingers crossed for you! PJTP- My ex husband is an ass. He wrote me an email today to let me know that he has decided to prorate his child support. Now I have to get my lawyer and have a nice big fight. What an ass. Why can't he just obey the child support order??? aaarrrrrrgggggg

I am such an embarrassment to my daughter! I called Beth - Britney Spears and I do not know why! I was just plain drunk! lmao

PJTP: Hi Everyone! I started school a week and a half ago and have found little time for posting! I hope to get into the swing of things so I can get back on here more often. Last night I had a dinner party at my house - I drank a LOT of red wine. I think BethFromVa will never speak to me again! I am such a boozer! lol I am such an embarrassment! Beth's husband will probably not allow her to hang out with me again!!

me too! Great new word! lol

It is so hard to believe how some people behave! I believe it includes bones and organs. I will get a second opinion. I have no idea how they can know my "lean muscle" with measuring my weight, waist, thigh and calf. It seems a little out there. Thanks! I will try that!

Where can I download the first season from?? I really want to watch! I am glad you are having a good time! I just started school on Thursday. It is going to be intense! I have a ton of homework already!! Yikes! Thanks everyone for the congrats! I am so thankful to finally be under 200! It has been a lot of hard work! At the gym today they did a fit assesment. The trainer said I had 132 pounds lean muscle mass. That would change my entire goal weight as I certainly could not weigh 135 if 132 is the lean muscle. I wish I knew how he determinded that with just my wieght and measurements. He though I only needed to lose 35 more pounds. I am 5'2". What do you all think about that???

Good Morning my friends! I made it into Onderland this morning!!

I have FINALLY arrived in Onderland!!! I am at 199.1 this morning! It has been a LONG time since my weight started with a one! Doing the happy dance!! Brandy - isn't that photo site cool?

I have FINALLY arrived!!!! 199.1 this morning!! I am doing the happy dance!! Keep at it every one! I have to give my body a jolt of exercise to get it to let go of the final few pounds!! Yesterday I was still at 201 so I did 30 min. on the elliptical and added 15 min on the bike and 6 laps in the pool. I usually only do the elliptical.
