Hi all,

hope you are all feeling great

Bronnie, I am feeling nervous for you. I can imagine what it must be like but just think ..this time next week you wil be well on your way to the new you u lucky girl :clap2: I think i would be treating myself to a really yummy lunch tomorrow ..not overdoing it but just sumthing that maybe you think u might not be able to have again..dunno if that is the right way to think but still think i would do it all the same..like susannah said a last supper type of thing :phanvan

Dionnem..nope. still no date I think it may be a while as i am a public patient. I actually heard that Nottle is knocking back people now so i think he may be really busy so may take longer than i first expected :faint:

susannah.. how is everything going with you? Is it what you thought it would be like ?

hi to everyone else

Bronnie

Happy undie shopping lol ... 3 days to go .:clap2: . can u believe it??

Just got Back from my holiday in queensland and had to jump online quickly to see how you all are...it Seems like ages since i was here last.. my god Bronnie.. u have only a week to go! How excited must you be ? :clap2: I am so envious and susannah you are already on solids. U r doing really well. Anna Congrats on your 10th anniversary ,

hi to everyone else as well.. will catch up on all the posts soon

take care

Bronnie

Don't feel bad. U r doing fantastically. Focus on the good part of what you have done.. you started Optifast without HAVING to and you have lost 3 kgs! :clap2: great effort. We all have our little slip ups and you will only benefit from it. don't go beating yourself up.. tomoro is another day. U go girl..u will do it

hi to everyone

hi Fee

I am actually going up to the gold coast on wednesday to spend some time with my dad. We were lucky enuf to find really cheap accomodation in elanora.costing us $70 a night for 4 of us. $40 a night per couple.My dad checked it out and said it is clean and comfortable..I hope!..but nothing luxurious. we found it on ebay of all places through the QLD travel people so maybe have a look whats on there at the moment

have a good holiday when u go

Good luck!! will catch up with the new you soon :clap2:

take it easy

Hey Dionnnem

I missed you.. sorry. I was at work all day and just got home..I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow.. before you know it it will be all over and you will be of the banded brigade :clap2:

Take it easy.Looking forward to hearing how it all went

Hi all

Bronnie.. well done on the Optifast :clap2: U r going great guns now and don't bother looking in this direction for the next bander..it definitely won't be me.. change the weeks to 3 months and there might be a small ray of hope lol

Susannah.. glad to hear you are up and walking places now. Good stuff. Can't believe you are already on the mushies stage.. time just flies

Dionnem.. good luck for monday in case i don't get online over the weekend.Hope it all goes smoothly for you

Meredith.. hi to you too. And blended KFC ? .. we do it all the time for the guys we work with..have been tempted to have a taste but it just looks too gross lol

Hi to everyone else and have a great weekend

P.S Bronnie

23 sleeps!! Yahooooo:clap2:

Hey Bronnie

Sorry i left you out of the 'unbanded group" Guess i am that excited for you now that you actually have a bandiing date that i i just considered you (almost) banded. My mistake :nervous

Cam

Wow.. u r amazing! You have done such a great job and look just beautiful and i cant believe it only took you the 12 mths.I wish i were 25 again cos i seriously doubt my body would be capable of bouncing back that well ! lol

I'll be happy with any sort of bouncing back at the moment tho

Jacqui you look wonderful too girl. Amazing accomplishments.. well done. Great inspirations

Hi all

And happy valentines day to you all.. hope it was a romantic one Meredith..your dinner sounded yummy .I had to work so no such luxury for me :phanvan .. all i got were a couple of lousy text msgs lol

Bronnie..don't stress too much. I am sure it will,as always,come together for you. If they know your op date maybe they will work around that. My sleep test was booked in pretty much straight away and i am a public patient so i am sure IF you have to have one you will do it all in the required time frame.

Dionnem..not long to go! These next couple of days will fly by for you..Make the most of your mum being there you lucky girl.

Susannah..wanna bet this time next year you will be beating all those "Mr Wonderful" guys off with a big stick cos u will have too many to choose from ?

Jacqui..hope you had lots of fun with the girls.. did u wake your hubby up? lol

have a good one tomorrow and stay cool

Superdaddy

Congratulations to you and your beautiful wife on your new baby girl. She is just perfect . Number 4 ! how proud you both must be. All the best
