Kimmers! Oh my gosh, that house is gorgeous. You did a fantastic job on it. Our little 1,500 sq ft home just appraised for $174k. I feel jipped!! Too bad I can't take the Texas heat. I'd buy that house in a heartbeat. Love the style and the yard.

Has your family started a betting pool on how long you'll be in the next house? *winks*

MoOrLess - come on! I'll make you a special deal! I'll throw in some of the furniture, a cool TV and all the patio stuff and plants :) . Oh, AND don't let me forget - 2 ADORBABLE teenagers!

I'm not getting so much traffic running my own open houses! Ughhhh!!! Hard business, this "I wish I was a realtor but I'm not thing"!

TX has pretty good real estate prices... lots of bang for your buck. That is unless you're moving to Cedar Creek Lake (where I'm moving) and getting a 1500 sf house for 225K.... 1 living, 1 Breakfast room, 3 bdrm, 2 ba... but geez what a nice life living right on the lake is! I'll post pics if I ever get there!

Betting pool is on Sus - I've taken 3 weeks. 1 week almost down.... better get moving.

Ok, here we go...

The updates have been made for this week on the Members and Honors Pages (see pg 1 of this thread) and there is one more week left in the Spring Challenge. Who will win? Have you been keeping your card current?

If not, I ask that you update it now so everyone has a chance to see where their competition is!

Oh, I wanted to explain to the new members of the club that the club continues each month and that the challenges are just special add in's we do now and then. We have weekly weigh-ins for those who want to do that, and tons of laughs and support on a daily basis. I don't think I'll do a June challenge, but how about July? Or are you all raring to go for June? hehe

Yes, but at some point, our bodies start re-shaping. In Jan 2006, I weighed 190. The cargo pants are Lane Bryant size 18s and the t-shirt is Lane Bryant size 14/16. (yuck, I hat this pic!)

So, I joined Curves in March. I usually always go twice a week. Sometimes 3 like I should. Some days, I don't work very hard, but lame exercise is better than nothing. This pic was taken in May, where my average weight has been, what? 183? That's LESS than 10 pounds! But I'm also down about 10 inches. The trousers are Dress Barn Woman size 16W and the top is Dress Barn Woman size 1X. Even I can see the difference! Keep exercising ladies! I might be a slow loser and a poor cheerleader (LOL), but it's working!

BTW-those cute girls belong to bondgirl. This pic was taken at our May lunch. Sweet!

_____________

(this is coming up HUGE...editing help, please?!!!!!!!!!!)

Okay, see this pic below...whew! I'm glad the huge one is gone and now you can't really see just how huge my nose is, just how uneven my teeth are, just just how badly I need to wax my eyebrows! LOL Thanks P'nut. I'll fix the rest tomorrow. g'night!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
