Can't be without my friends. You all are a big part of my success.

I knew that CPA exam was going to be tough and can totally understand the stress you must be under. Like most of us, stress= cravings= LBS not being the easy way out.lol

The hardest part of my knee replacements hss been the inability to sleep and when laying awake all night, all I want to do is eat. I have not had an eating at night problem, until know.YIKES!

Not sure my Dr will buy that excuse.....

I bet your 90 challenge is keeping you in good shape.

you can do it!

We were banded 10 days apart. Hard to believe a whole year has gone by.

In 1 yr I was banded, port revision and 2 knee replacements, I am done!!!

If we don't see you, Happy Bandiversary Rockstar!

Mini, hang in there GF!!! We believe in you and happy 1 year bandiversary!!!

Happy Bandiversary Mini!

Mini hang in there and you are correct, anyone who ever said this was easy is full of crap. I am challenged daily with eating the right food and making good choices . In times if stress I crave sweets, something new for me. I allow myself dark chocolate on those nights and chase with wine. Lol probably not the best option but better than eating the whole package or drinking the whole bottle.

I had a friend who sat for there CPA and I feel for you ,she said hardest thing she ever did.i know you can do this ,if you can live with LB you can accomplish anything. We are always here for you .

everyone have a great weekend!

Hope you wrote a 1 yr Bandiversary thread? You are a true inspiration for everyone on LBT.

Michelle...I guess I missed your bandiversary...I hope it was a nice non-calorie one! How time flies...

Hello everyone! So glad to have my bandiversary! Hurray! Also celebrated my 19th wedding anniversary.

Tonight I went to see Bon jovi in concert. Man was it ever great!

Super close to stage!

Wow, congrats on your anniversary too! 19 years is worth celebrating!!! Hubby must be so proud of you for so many reasons!!!!

How's your son doing? How was the exam? How are YOU? Did you wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of you? You were definitely close.

You wouldn't wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of yourself, at least I wouldn't.

Happy belated 19th anniversary, skinny mini!

Makes sense that one rockstar would hang out with another rockstar.

Talk about wanting to jump some bones! Ugh...good thing my hubby is hot!

Studying is still going strong. I hate it!

I haven't received my approved application back to even sit for the exam so I'm a ball of nerves. The window is oct-nov only.

Keep the faith Mini!

Mini, LOVE your profile pic! I have one HOT sister and, from what I am told b-i-l.

Hang in there GF. Life w/ the band still going well?
