Hi gang,

I was great seeing all of you to (Melissa, Kerah,Angie, Kim, Kathy, Karen) today. We missed the others that weren't able to make it. Hopefully we'll see you next month.

So we all agreed it is time to get chatty! Easy for me to do!

I made Cookies this afternoon. I can't taste them because f my cold, but that didn't stop me from eating the cookie dough! OH my stomach hurts! What a fool I am. I have desided that today is the last day I am ever making cookies again as long as I LIVE!!! I've always liked the odugh better than the baked ones anyway, so what was I thinking!

Had a little chicken parm at the party we went to and a bite of fudge. Now it's time to relax and hit the boob tube.

Karen I can't wait to hear how the concert went tonight!

Have a good night.

WOW There is so much going on with everyone!

I had a lump on my wrist also and it hurt like heck. It was a ganglion(SP)cyst. I had it removed and at the same time had carpal tunel surgery. I'm fine now, but I could do the dishes for 3 weeks.....OH NO.......

I have been on the predisone since Tuesday but I have not been able to take all 3 tabs every day, so that will extend my use. I am to tired right now to take it I really want to sleep tonight more than 4 hours! So tomorrow AM I will take it and runnnnnnnnn.........to get everything done. It it so wierd though I am coughing again!!!

Well I think I'm going to bed I'll just get up early and take the meds and finish everything.

Hang in there everyone.

Loretta called yesterday to say Merry Christmas. She sounds good. Got another fill, everything went perfect. She says she'll be meeting with us next time.

HOHOHO Love you guys, I am blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life...another God thing HUH....

Merry Christmas

Alright...Christmas is over and I am another year older. UGH!!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We did it was busy as always but VERY nice. Curtis was so excited this year...it was so much fun.

How is everyone doing? Are we ready for a new year?

I posted a before and after pictures on the thread of before and after. Thought it would be nice to see the difference and I can honestly say it was good to do it because I can really see it now.

Oh side note here...gained 2 pounds this week. OOps....but I can say it was good. How bad is that....I can say I need a partial fill I can eat TOO much. See Dr. V on the 3rd so I will probably get some.

Ok...have to finish some clothes to fold and get ready for work tomorrow.

Everyone have a good night and I will "chat" tomorrow.

Kim, I don't think I'd get too worked up over 2 pounds I'm going to go look at your before and after pictures. Since I see you shrink before my eyes, I'm sure those pics are awesome!

Another year older? When was your birthday; and Happy Belated Birthday at that!

Christmas was kind of quiet, but really nice. Work is going to be very quiet this week, which is also nice!

OMG Kim! That is absolutely awesome! :banana :banana :banana :banana

Hi everyone...Oy Vey, we made it through Christmas. It was wonderful and loud and fun and exhausting. the surprise visit with my brother and family was perfect and made everything even better!

There is a bit of a stomach bug floating around the family. I got it first...Friday night felt kinda yucky, rumbly in the tummy (which doesn't help the erosion paranoia, right?) then Sat I got a low grade fever...100.6... and a bit of diarrhea. Sunday was fine, just tired. Now hubby and my sister have it. It isn't bad, just makes you feel yucky. Goes away pretty fast. Hubby's at work so it isn't that bad. I guess it hit me the hardest. My sister was able to sleep for 6 hours yesterday, something I would never get away with, so she's on the mand. Thank goodness there was no nausea or vomiting. Just lower intestinal upset. It's over now.

Other than that, fun times. Happy Birthday Kim! I promise, it just gets better as you get older. I'm gonna go see your before/after pics now.

(((HUGS))) everyone!!!

Oh I wasn't upset about the 2 pounds..I was actually that was all I gained. Actually got on the scale this morning and they were already gone. So no biggie there.

I turned 32 on Monday. Where does the time go? It seems to go faster each year.

We take Curtis to the Dr tomorrow for his follow up. This should be fun he is going to do a rectal exam...OH NO!!!! He sees an ENT on the 10th so this should take care of his ears. I hope.

Thanks for the kind words on the pictures...it has really made me see a difference. It has really made me look at what I have been doing the last few weeks and now I have to buckle down and get the rest of this weight off. I want to be a size 12 or at least a 14 by next June 06. I know I can do it. (Especially having you guys supporting me.)

Ok where is eveyrone else? I think Dianne is out of town... Melissa? Angie how are you feeling? Starr has just forgotten us. Sherrie? Jennifer? Magic? Come out Come out where ever you are.....

For those who weren't at our last lunch mark your calendars now for next month....For those of you up near Greensboro we are meeting towards north Charlotte so the drive want be as long. It's going to be Sat Jan 28th @ Fridays right off the exit at Harris Blvd. I think the exit is like 45..I know it's the 3rd exit after Concord Mills. I can get directions the closer it gets but I want everyone that can to make it....

Oh enough for one sitting...chat later.

Good golly Kim...I just saw your Before/After pics...wow!!! You go girl!!!

Okay, who is left? Karen and jennifer? jennifer...it's RNY for you, right? Magic was magical and got in under the wire...I just read her thread that she's banded. Hey, whatever happened to the Charlotte girl that posted she wanted to meet some bandsters and didn't seem to come back?...what's her name? Who else is floating around out there in Charlotte bandland? Can I ramble some more or should I just go to bed? Huh? Who? G'night!!!

Good golly Kim...I just saw your Before/After pics...wow!!! You go girl!!!

Thanks Kathy...I was so excited after seeing this change...but like I said I couldn't see it until Mike put the pictures beside each other for me.

Happy Wed everyone!!!!

Wow, I leave for a while and have a bunch to catch up on. Christmas was great! We are in Va right now and will be heading home in the morning, thank god! I am exhausted!!!! Then I get to call Dr. Bauman and schedule my surgery! YAY! Aren't you excited for me? Kim, I am going to look at your picture, and happy belated bday. I hope you are feeling better Kathy! And hello to everyone else. I will chat more and let you all know what I got for christmas when I get back!! Luv ya!

Angie

You look beautiful Kim! Keep up the great work. Hey when I get back I may do it as well. I don't seem to see the difference either?

Thanks Angie... you should I can see a huge difference you. You are looking GOOD girl.

My husband kept fussing about my user name being my actual name. As of now, I (Karen) will be known as Mrs Sabre in "honor" of my Honda Shadow Sabre motorcycle

I keep getting logged off; so my posts will be short until I can figure out why.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm heading to WV this weekend to Celebrate a belated Christmas with my folks. I'm ready to start the New Year!

Okay, but you still need to leave the Bubble Butt. That is too funny! You should add Karen to your sig...above your height/weight...but I like Mrs Sabre. You look cool on your bike, man. Woohoooo!

I like the new name...I will just have to remember it...I may think you are a new person on here. It's my blonde hair.haha....

Happy Thursday everyone....

My co-workers took me to McCormic & Schmidts for lunch today...OH MY GOODNESS I think I have found a new place that I love. I had the salmon and it was to die for. I could have eaten more of it with no problems. Well I would have had problems but you get the picture. On the top of the menu they had on there..Happy Birthday Kim. How cool is that. Well I felt really special and I loved it...I will go there again.

Anything going on this weekend? Any fun plans? We have another holiday monday which will be nice....I just need a whole week off for a break.
