So, that is the update on me... How are you doing? I see you are a teacher, what grade? Are you excited about the new school year? I have a junior high aged son. He just turned 13 on the 20th. He is playing jr. high football. He loves school for the social aspects of it. He is a smart kid but doesn't apply himself. The teachers always become aware of this. He is very charming and unfortunately, very funny and has a great personality, and they don't push him for his best. He makes them laugh, makes them love him and in the long run, he grazes by on B's, a few A's and maybe one or two C's. But could be a straight A student if he would apply himself.

If you by chance work at Arab Jr. High(8th) grade, or AHS, lol beware, he will be on the prowl and is looking for teachers with a good sense of humor. haha

Hope you are having a great Monday (07-27)

So I have this ugly gash that is attempting to heal on my right arm, and while not using that arm, I over-compensated the left one and now I have a ganglion cyst popped up on the inside of that wrist, which I am now having to wear a brace on.

Any and all arm exercises are out for the time being.

I still go to the gym 3-4 times a week and am in the process of getting my own tread mill set back up to use each day in the morning before work. Maybe that will boost my metabolism into working.

I don't have time for breakfast...ever. I do the protein shakes, about three to four times a week. I was doing fresh frozen fruit, a small yogurt and skim milk, w/prot. powder. I started using the weightloss shakes with ice and protein powder. Not sure how that will work but the taste is different, so that is good. It taste like a choc. shake, until it starts melting... yuk. (to be cont)

I have had two fills and I love the restriction right when I have them done, but it doesn't seem to last long. I have gone from a size 24(sometimes 26) pants to a 16. I even wore a pair of size 14 shorts while on vacation. My hubby says I am still losing inches, but I can't tell it.

I guess I am getting a tad depressed with it all.

I started some online classes to boost my mental self-esteem. I went to the dermatologist in Cullman to have three moles looked at, two on my face, one on my arm. He saw another on my arm that looked "funny" he said and decided to remove it also. It is the one that came back abnormal, so he had to cut "a quarter pound" of meat out to get all the abnormal cells. (to be cont)

Hi, I am sorry I haven't replied before now. I haven't been on this site in so long. Summer, Vacations, Work, issues at work. The gym and family responsibilities have bogged me down lately.

I don't guess I really have any hints, I came here today to get some from others, really. I am at a stand still and have been it seems, forever.

I started out at 247 and this morning the scales showed 217. It sucks. I had lost down to 214 before and I keep going up and down between 214 and 219, this has been going on for six weeks now. (to be cont.)

Hi, I am also in Arab, I was banded 03/10/09 by Dr. Groves. How are things going for you?

How did things go and how are you feeling?

Hi, just hoping you are doing well. Let me know as soon as you are online. Good Luck

Good Luck sent your way for tomorrow's procedure!

Hi Christy, I am in Arab and have not yet been banded. I intend to use Britt and Groves as my doctors. My first appointment with Dr. Groves is Wednesday. I have already done the nutritionist and the appointments for my psychologist and PT are on Tuesday. I want to get it all done so that I can get it approved by my insurance.

I have looked for someone close that might have a few things in common. Let me know if you decide to use them. Good Luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. I am glad you are happy with the Docs. How long before you knew if you were approved? I hate waiting! LOL I just can't help but think it isn't going to happen for me. At any rate, with my digestive issues I have, I lost one lb. since yesterday! Whoopee!!! Should I lose? Should I wait? Too many questions! I looked at your photos, great family pics! Congrats on a great looking bunch!

Have a great day,

Hi, I also live in Arab. You don't have much info on here. When were you banded? How much success have you had? You liked Dr. Britt? I think I will be using Dr. Groves. Not sure yet. I am still waiting on their office to call me. How long did that take for them to call you after you gave them your insurance info? I hate waiting!!! LOL Hope to hear from you soon.
