Hey fellow Maysters!

here is our new home for the month of October. Geez... October already! Where has the year gone?? Can hardly believe Christmas will be here before we know it!

I am hanging tough for now with my band. I haven't lost (or gained!) anything in the past month or so. I go next Monday for my flouro and hope to get back on track after that. I am wearing size 18 for the most part now with some 16's thrown in. Not bad from the tight 22's I was in in May!

I have been pretty stressed out in my life lately. My hubby and I are having some difficulties in our marriage right now in addition to his health problems. I think adding to the stress is me wanting a baby (now that my PCOS is totally under control, according to my gyno that I saw last week! NSV!!!) and feeling like I am having to put that on hold because he can't get healthy. I know that probably sounds selfish to some people but I can't help the way I feel. I feel like I have sacrificed so much for him and for him to be pulling the BS he has been lately is huge slap in the face. I just feel very lost and confused most of the time lately. I have agreed to try and work things out with him and see if we can't get back on track. I take my marriage vows very seriuosly and hope and pray he does too.

Thanks for listening to me vent. You guys mean the world to me!

Peace.

Here we are!

How are you all doing? I think I am going to miss my 20 lb goal by a couple of pounds this time but it's still been a great great motivator.

Anyone cooking any Banderlious recipies for Thanksgiving?

Here's a delicious recipe I ate at my bandster support group. I also thought that you could get some SF Pie Filling and blend it smoother, than omit the pumpkin and pie spice, add a touch of vanilla or almond and voila! Instant bander style cream pie.

Pumpkin Pie "Pudding" (or Pie)

1 package sugar-free vanilla pudding (1.5 oz)

2 cups cold milk

1 cup sugar-free Cool Whip

1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Splenda (or any sweetener)

Cinnamon

Mix pudding and milk until blended.

Fold in Cool Whip.

Mix in pumpkin.

Add spice and mix together well.

Add cinnamon and Splenda to taste.

Chill in refrigerator at least 20 minutes.

To make it into a pie just use SF cookies and a little butter or butter substitute to make a crust.

Finally into the 50's...and I think I'll make my Turkey Take Off goal, too. :cheer2:

Somehow this seems like a major breakthrough for me and that I am actually going to make it!

Now, if my hair would STOP falling out!!! :peep:

I am off today to get some Biotin and Folic Acid.

Perhaps a knitted scarf out of my hair?

Hello

Welcome and hope you are sucessful in getting your approval. We've all been through the tense waiting.

Go to the top of the page and click on User CP. That will take you to your user page. Click on Signature. You'll first have to go to www.tickerfactory.com and/or www.choosing2lose.com/

Then you create your ticker and at the Edit button on top your comper click 'copy' then go back to your User CP page and click Paste to your signature page. You can add your name etc. also.

Look at other people's pages to get ideas.

Hope this helps.

I didn't think I'd make it but ... I did !!!!! :roll:

Can we talk about our next contest? How about January 15th and call it "I have a dream..." (that's Martin Luther Kinds, Jr's birthday)

Or anyone have other ideas?

Happy Turkey Day to you all, in case I don't get back before then.

Janey-I like that 'I have a Dream' new goal. Post it on the November Chat and let everyone know your 'DREAM'.
