Come join us. We are bandsters without a local support group, and we're going to meet, say hi, and chat about possibly starting our own group.

We are meeting this Wednesday December 13 at 6:30 PM at Humble City Cafe near the SE corner of the intersection of 1960 and 59, on Main Street.

Let me know if you're coming and I'll make a reservation in the name of Bandsters.

OK friends. I need empathy or sympathy:( I finally reached 49 pounds lost yesterday! Great--right? Then I ate bad stuff all day. I was afraid to weigh this morning and to top it all off, I didn't go to exercise this morning. Any answers out there?

PS Barb said she wouldn't be able to meet this coming Monday but that was before we thought up Tai Chi.

Betsy, did you get the outfit? I know Barb said she was going to get it Saturday.

Ha! Congratulations! Whatdjado...celebrate all day with food? Sorry.

I know for me, sometimes when I hit a milestone, I take a day off and pig out, and then I get right back to work in a day or two. Sounds like you might have done the same. Don't kick yourself....Enjoy your mini vacation. Now get back to being healthy. If you're really lucky, the shock to your system will have stimulated some more weight loss.

I haven't signed up yet. I hired a maid service to Spring clean my house. I don't dare leave them. So far, they've broken the tempered glass in my refrigerator shelf, and one of them cut herself on her own cleaning equipment and bled on the rug.

HA! I found that cleaning ladies help me to get rid of collectables really quickly. I think I shall bring them in before the big move. Great way to get rid of clutter:) And yes I did celebrate with food. I guess it's the thing I like best--how sad. Maybe I should just stop weighing. FAT CHANCE!

I'm going Saturday to register and get my uniform. It only costs $30 and I could use them I guess. Let's meet at Humble Cafe at 6:15 for dinner. That way I can come in my new outfit or change back to my street clothes. I don't really care and it might be fun to show up in my black PJs. Dick has his meeting on Mondays so it works for me.

We just got back from Fiesta Aztec on W. Lake Houston. the food was good, but it is very noisy. The marguertias were exceptional so I'm stress free for the night.

Lana congrats on the weight loss. Enjoy it and get back with the program. I was still on liquids so I think my drinks were legal.

Hey thanks Barb! I needed that. I'll try to get by and get my black PJ's too. Humble City Cafe sounds like a nice change of pace and it's dark in there--maybe no one will notice we are dressed in PJ's:)

I'll be in PJs too! Glad you're joining, Lana.

OK bikergrammy you can't be our holdout. Why don't you try Tai Chi with us? If that's not for you then meet us at Humble Cafe Monday at 6:15. Wear black PJ's.

I'm all signed up. I only did it for a month to see if I like it. I got my black PJs, but they are more like cardboard. I hope they soften up after a few washings. I told them there was a 3 of us for Monday. Hope you all don't chicken out on me as I now have my PJs. :Banane43:

My plan is to come. Did they have plenty of sizes of PJ's? I'm worried they won't fit--kind of like the mother of the Groom dress:) Did you try them on?

Yes I tried one set on. It fit. You will need to wear like a tee shirt under the top. Socks or bare feet on the feet. They are rather stiff so if you can go by early and wash them you will be more comfortable. If you can't get there early to get home and wash them wear black exercise pants. that should get you by the first night. You can wear them like they are, but I just find them stiff.

I got mine, and also signed up for a month. I washed my pjs with plenty of fabric softener, and the came out just as stiff! I may wash them over and over between now and Monday.....

I watched a guy getting a private Tai Chi lesson and it was so elegant. I'm psyched!

They have stacks and stacks of uniforms. No problem.

I'm washing mine now. I might just keep washing them. The guy told me that soften with wear. Ha! You have to get them on first! Did you put them in the dryer or let them drip dry? I watched a class for a few minutes on Saturday. No music, no instruction, just doing. I wonder how long before we can do that? It should be fun.

It's surprisingly comfitable, even as stiff as a board. I drip dried, since it says not to put them in the dryer. I'll probably fill the washer with water and softener and just let them soak.

Good idea. I'm going to soak them after this wash. See you tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.
