I know this is a silly thing to get excited about but I can't WAIT!!! DH and I are going to Buffalo for the wknd to shop. We are hitting a TARGET!!!! (for any non-Canucks reading this, there are no Targets in Canada)....whooo hoooooo......I'm gonna get me some much needed (smaller) bras and underwear!!! Of course we'll hit the big Walden Galleria Mall which is next to the Target as well!!!

The in-laws live in Niagara Falls (Canuck side) so we'll stop and visit them, of course, on the way back!!

We normally go away every year for a trip (ie. Mexico last year) but it doesn't look like it will happen this year....so this is my mini-trip!! LOL. Hey, I'll take what I can get!!!!!!

Hi Yoda!

I love target too! we pronounce it tar-jay, to make sound exotic.:biggrin1: I love the walmarts and kmarts in the states too, the walmarts seem to have better stuff than the walmarts here. have fun shopping!

hey Yoda have a blast and enjoy. I ahve nevr been to a Target and wil lose alot first but then get down there. Its just that i have soo much to lose, what do you and everyone else think? do you now wait til you lose the weight before you shop or get it as you go along? I have been wearing the same freaking clothes for ages.

Makes me feel like we're shopping at high end stores even tho i can't afford to even walk by one!:huggie:

:faint: :faint: :faint: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH, I just disclosed that I am a crazy shopper, then you tell me your going to the states to SHOP!!:faint: :faint: :faint:

banded on 13jun2006....my ultimate goal is to be dressed from the thrift store!! just bought 3 pairs of jeans and 2 pair of silk lined pants dana buchman and jones of ny..all w/tags from goodwill for 20.00 usd...ssooooohappy!!

We always refer to the thrift stores as "boutiques". The best ones for clothes seem to be the womens' ones, WIN (women in need) etc. I know a lot of women who will donate only to those stores.

neenah why is it taking so long for you to be banded? Also, you are doing great on your own, I am envious. congrats

Hey Yoda!

hehe kimmason, i'd rather do yogurt honestly than what pple here affectionately call opticrap!!!:biggrin1: i havent tried the optifast yet, but i'm not too encouraged from what i've read other people think about it.

I actually called it Opti-hell.

I sold my leftovers to a gal from calgary, and she was scared to try it from my 'reviews', but ended up liking it! I think the yogurt/cottage cheese thing would probably not be so bad for a couple days, but end up being just as tedious. I don't like yogurt though.
