Hmmm not sure how to do that Cindy. Maybe we have a computer wizard that will give us a hand with that. It would be cool to use it each day. Not sure how. I'm glad you enjoy it

Just copy it and paste it to your email signature on here and then save it. I copied it from someone on here.

Remember that old song?

Ok....my Christmas goal is 36 pounds by Christmas, which should put me maybe in a Winter One-derland.

I will go to sleep tonight and have sugar-free fairies dancing in my head while I contemplate that wonderful thought.

Hello Everyone,

I guess Funny isn't back yet. Anyway, here is my update for the week:

LindaV - J 269 / C 260 / G 220 (-2 this week)

Have a great week everyone!

Weigh-in for 8-16-06:

225 J/ 220 C/ 199 G (-2 week)

"A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight...."

Another week closer to Christmas!

checking in dropped another pound this week. I'm now at 226. 2nd fill today so hopefully it will help me meet my Christmas goal

According to some researchers and historians, Jesus was actually born on April 17, in the year 6BC.

Before anyone calls me an atheist or worse, please realize that the December 25th date to celebrate Christmas was set by Constantine, the emperor of the Roman Empire about 325AD. He did it because he had declared that all Romans would become Christians and since the Romans were already celebrating a pagan holiday on December 25th (the god Saturn), it was easier to just change the name of the holiday gradually.

Historians say that the reason that Joseph and Mary were going to Bethlehem was to be counted in a census as degreed by the Roman Emperor. The only two censuses taken in that era were in 6BC and 6AD. Herod was not alive in 6AD, so it must have been 6BC. The 3 wise men saw a celestial event which led them to the manger and that took place on April 17, 6BC.

Wow! Looks like everyone's doing great toward their goals for Christmas Wishes!

Anyone doing any shopping?

Does this count? I have decided what to get my nephew... he is graduating from college this year, so he needs a nice suit for job interviews, so we're all going together to get him a gift certificate for somewhere, so he can get a suit...I feel like I have already crossed that name off my mental list...and can't wait to see him in that suit!

Hi gang,

I was hunting around to see where Funny had gone (I miss her posts too!), and found this wonderful thread. Hope she's back soon!

I am the Christmas & Easter Queen in our family - I just love, love, love celebrating our saviour and His love with my family and friends.

I've started shopping, but haven't set any weight goals yet. I'll think about this once I have had my op and am moving through the recovery.

Cheers!

Weeehaaa! Here I go!

I was banded last Tuesday (8/15) and the bathroom scales read that I am down 13.

We'll see where I land when I start with solids, but I'm getting there!

Check in day...had my fill last Wednesday and it kicked in for sure. I'm down 6 this week to make it 220. Wahooo. I'm starting to see signs of Christmas in some of the stores out here...how about you?

TheBestMe - J 179.2 / C 178.4 / G 165 (-.6 this week)

I'm hanging in there! I just wanna see below 177...haven't seen that yet!

I'm not weighing myself this week. I'll update my stats next week.

Hello All,

Here are my stats for the week:

LindaV - J 269 / C 259 / G 220 (-1 this week)

I'm going for a much needed fill in about 2 hours and then meeting P'Nut for lunch. It's shaping up to be a great day!:biggrin1:
