I've been banded a little over a year now, April 6,2009, and got just 3.6 cc's in my 10 cc band, and I've also noticed that when I eat too fast that I get the hiccups !! I thought I was the only one and often wondered what it meant ! They don't hurt in fact it I feel better after I hiccup for a few minutes. Good luck to you guys on your journey !!

GF, I sooo feel your pain !!!!! We just hve to hang in there untill we get better days and we will have them !!!!

I guess this is the " Mom, I need help" wk !!! I read your blog after I posted this morning. My DD lost her job also this wk which added to the already stressful situation at her house!!

OMW !!!!! You are doing sooo good !!!!! Thanks for doing what you do best and that's keeping us laughing !!! Keep up the good work !!!

I woke up this a.m. to 9 degrees!!!! But no snow!!!

Good Morning gang, haven't been around here in a while, so I thought I would ck in to see how you guys are doing! As I thought , you guys are doing really good! I, on the other hand, have NOT!! But, I'm back in the saddle again. I was really bad thru the Christmas holidays, stress, to many goodies and head hunger, gained over 5 pds. But then BG suggested going on the 5 day pouch test, and I did. Lost the exta pds and then lost another pd this past wk. So that puts me at 181. While I was on th 5 day test, I really did some serious thinking as to why I am, again, failing myself on this journey. I am finding myself "happy" with weight that I've lost and not really giving it all that I can! I know that I can do sooo much more and need to lose alot more but my heart is just not in to it any more. So I am making an extra effort to exercise more and stick with the program of eating all my protein, drink all my water and no sugar products or carbs!! Thanks, Hopeful, for the challenge, still no sweet stuff!! But, anyway that has been my life, sorry for the long post but all this "stuff" just came pouring out!! You guys, have a good wk!!

As usaual, you made me laugh! I can tell the diff in the pics, the one with shaper, is smaller. I haven't bought one, yet, just waiting to lose some more. Oh, I got your PM, cute idea with the ornaments, I'll have to try that next year!

Love, Love, Love your kitchen tools!! I collect old things like that, also!! Some one asked me if they needed a tetanuse shot before they came over! LOL In one of your other pics, did you have some old wooden thread spools on a table? I have some of those too. Things that I hated to use when I was a kid is, basically, what I collect now! Go figure!! LOL

What a great Christmas present to yourself!! You are in complete control and I am sooo not!!! Can I come live with you for awhile!!! LOL I haven't even stepped on a scale in over 2 wks ( don't want to die of a heart attack!!) and I know that's a big NO NO for me, I need to know what I'm doing so I can stay on top of things and I'm too ashamed to find out but in the a.m. I will step on them and face my fears and get back on track!! I think I'll go back on my liquids for 48 hrs, like I had a fill, and then go on mushies for a day or 2, and get back to MOVEING !!!! Thanks for all you do to inspire the rest of us!! Sharon

Just read your blogs and YOU ARE DOING SO GOOD!!! Considering what you have been thru, WOW!!! Maybe when you buy some new clothes ppl will notice your wt loss!! I have noticed that when I wear something new, that's when I get noticed! And , OMW, that is makes you feel soo good! ( And I haven't lost as much as you have) I am also on a stand still but I know what it is, just being lazy! But that is going to change today!! I got a treadmill for Christmas from my DH so I have got to use it b/c I asked him for it! Well, gotta run, I'll be cking in more often than in the past!! Sharon

So beautiful!!!! In the last pic, are those old wood thread spools? I can't really tell what they are but that's what they look like! I have a few of them and love displaying them!!

Stayed the same this wk. BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!!!!! I haven't been able to get on the treadmill eveyday, busy busy with Christmas things, but this wk should be better !! See you next wk.

HEY YOU GUYS !!!!! I'm back and sooo happy to be here!!! I've had some computer and phone problems, but everything is back to as close to normal as I can get ! LOL I haven't lost all that much but as I like to say, a small loss is better than no loss!! All you guys have been doing so good !! Now I'm going to have to play catch up with you, but that's o.k, I love a good challenge!! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, I know I did!!

OMG!!!! I gained 2 pds. this wk!!! Been going thru some stress and turning to food for relief!! I know, bad choice! But I WILL DO BETTER starting TODAY!!! I'm not going to change my ticker b/c I'm going to get it back off!! Angie~~ I hear you on your emotions!! Been there and still dealing with it!!! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!! Here's to a new day and a new wk!! Have a good one , you guys!!! Sharon

Just one word!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the fall colors.
