CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!!! Way to go Pam! Kat: that is SOOOOOOOOO funny about you killing the ants! I was getting ready to tell you that they were planted too deep...but no it was the ant killing that did it! LOL I LOVE PEONIES! I love everything that I plant once and it comes back year after year!!! Went to my KCBandsters meeting last night and it was a good one.... I always get so jazzed up after them.... it is one of the things I'm doing for ME..... DH would rather I didn't go but I am taking that one evening a month for some Tracy time.

Sweet spot
I will also say that my unfill was a mere .3cc and it made ALL the difference in me eating soup and me eating food

This is the scoop from my doc........... The bands may be overfilled. The "small" band (4cc) can be filled to 6 cc, although he said he had NO patient with the small band over 5cc's The "large" band (10cc) can be overfilled to whatever is needed.. (he actually told me that he attended a conference where they had put as much as 160 cc's in one and it still didn't bust) It is important to note every doc is different......... it is important to ask YOUR doc what their take on the situation is.

Is your band failing you or are you failing your band ?
As a person on the dawn of moving to her second year banded......... you have really hit a chord. I have been complacent while strutting around in my size 12 levis and feeling fine! I need to take year two seriously.. and get on with the business of getting to goal.. (which I've never been able to do) Thanks for this post!

My body is sooooooo sore! here are a couple quick pics.. if they end up being too big I will delete them..... TopsyTurvey tomatoes, and the pond that yes has murky Water because we just dumped the chemicals and turned the pump on... its not done but it's looking pretty darn good..... we look down from our deck into it or down from eye level going into the workshop... The topsy turveys are built in the small part of our back yard (the 5 lots go to the side) the big concrete pad with the large planter on it acutally covers up an OLD well...... so that's why we built the flower box around it.. I had seedum all in it but some got churned up when we dug the post holes for the beams..... in the back are my transplatned rose of sharon trees that come up wild along my fence line on the other side......... also shown... robby, cody and uno the wonderdog..........

GOOD MORNING! Like Suzie said it was GORGEOUS yesterday and supposed to be even nicer today.... Have you seen those Topsy Turvey tomatoe planters o tv?? Well I did and ended up buying 3 of them off ebay... what started out as a little project turned into a HOME DEPOT run! LOL DH ended up building an L shaped frame with 9 hooks for my topsey turveys!!!!!!!!! Now I have to either order more or hit the AS SEEN ON TV STORE.. LOL...... I'm hoping they turn out great because NO weeds, no cages and no worry of bunnies or puppies eating my plants and no bending over to get them......... I will let you all know.. so far I have grape tomatoes, early girl, and then strawberries planted..... I also worked on our little garden pond.. planted some seeds.. transplanted some more vinca vine and basically spent the entire day outside in the yard......... as Charles would say..... "you are as happy as a pig in shit"............ The boys had a Water baloon fight oh and Josh DOES have to have eye surgery on both eyes..... his mom had the same surgery when she was little............ all that will take place the end of May...... I've already had my coffee on the deck (albeit a bit chilly) I LOVE this time of year!!!!!!!! Time to head back outdoors.

April 2007 Banders - Plateaus
WOW congrats! and my question.... how many sizes have you dropped? My guess is that you are one compact dynamo packed with muscle.... Since you are training for a marathon you will need more calories than I do.... I am mainly trying to cut the junk out.. which has been my biggest downfall as of late (and for months really)

At that time in my life I was playing every sport that the school offered.. the girl in the pink is the SKINNIEST BEAN POLE.. (still to this day) and she was MEAN MEAN MEAN.. she told me all time that I was fat.. she even turned the entire 5th grade class against me (seriously.. Janice had to sneak behind the monkey bars to tell me that she was sorry she couldn't be my friend because paige would turn everyone against her. Later I ended up getting into a fist fight with her in the bathroom and she was then forever my best friend (fake best friend)......... so the above pic is a couple years later..... LOL When my mom saw this pic. she just said. "I remember when you looked like that".............. uhhhhhhhhh mothers....... the between the lines meaning was that she remembered when I was skinny! LOL

Pam you are going to be in vegas 1 week BEFORE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I tell you guys that my sister is booked to go with me instead of dh? She was able to use FF miles to get her flight for free! WHOOOHOOO.. it's going to be sooooo much fun!!!!!!! I did it I did it I did it............. I ate good all day, I stayed away from the junk that has been running my life and I bounced DOWN to 188.2! That really gave me the motivation to stay good today too! The worst thing I had yesterday was a small baked potatoe with real butter (I refuse to eat fake butter.. blech) I was only able to eat half a grilled burger and then it came back up anyway... I stayed away from the kitchen all night and woke up victorious!
