Here we go my "steadies." Post away.

annie lookin very hot you go girl

I can not wait till I get to that point

brandi how are you feeling I hope better you sound like you are doing better

brandy I love your pics at the bottom of your post you look super hot

claud good luck at the gym you can do it

steph looks like you are losing weight good I am proud

thanks BK - I"m feeling really good, I still feel fat but I feel like its coming off. If I lose 5 lbs a month I'm happy. This last fill has been great. I'm able to keep my calorie intake around 800 or less, which has never happened for me.

Bman did you get the seat on?

Kitchen update! I'm living in the midst of total chaos! You know how the contractor says I'll have it done in 2 weeks and ends up being 2 months? Ok its not that bad, the contractor is my nephew and he's doing it in the evenings. It looks great so far. Still needs to get the faucets on and the dishwasher put in (did I tell you I've never had a dishwasher? very excited about that) and the plumbing, so its really close to being done, maybe tonight. Every night I've been running to town for something. My dh is still working out of town so he has no idea how great its looking and he also wants to be here when they hook up the electric in the box so he can tell them what breaker to use. I have a ton of house cleaning to do.

I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and support. I'm feeling better and think "ranting" here is what helped.

I've scheduled another fill and I'm going to address some of my issues with the doctor then.

Thanks again!

GIRL WONDERING IF YOU ARE OK .. IT WAS SO WEIRD I HAD A DREAM OF YOU BEING IN A A PARTY THAT I HAD ORGINIZED DONT KNOW WHAT WHY BUT YOU CAME OUT IN MY DREAM AND YOU KEPT WALKING AROUND SAYING NOTHING I WOKE UP AND I LOGED INTO MY COMPUTER JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WAS YOU (SO I SAW YOU PICTURE OVER AND OVER ) AND I AM WONDERING IF YOUR OK !!! IT WAS SO WEIRD .

HOPE YOU LOG IN SOON AND LET US KNOW HOW YOUR WORK OUT IS DOING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

ANYWAYS PLS TAKE CARE!

CLAU !!!!:notagree

Hey Claud... im ok :-) thank you for checking on me though. I've been doing a lot of thinking about heading out to California though. So, how knows, I may end up at one of your parties someday in the future! I have dreams like that too a lot -- I never know what they mean at the time, but they always end up making sense later. Ive been known to get up in the middle of the night to call people just to make sure they were ok.

I did laundry and cleaned all night... went to my grandma's to watch survivor. I havent exercised yet today... UGH! I need to go to bed though. I have to be up early it is already 12:30am here. I dont have enough hours in the day :-) I still haven't got my bike fixed up with the new seat. My grandma has been in and out of the hosptial for the last week and with all of the running to take care of her... it has left little time for anything extra. Ive been on the elliptical though. I just miss riding.

Bman sorry to hear your gram isn't well, she's lucky to have you. The bike isn't going anywhere and will be waiting when you're ready. Slow down.

I guess I'm one to talk. I haven't walked the 2 mile track with my neice at all this week. Every night I've been running to Lowes for something in the kitchen, or doing something with the kitchen. Last night I did my running, got home in time for Survivor, relaxed during that and then started cleaning. Like I said before my house was in utter chaos, but I whipped it into shape last night. He has everything done except the electrical (which dh wants to be here for) and hooking up my ice maker, and he's going to lower my upper cabinets so I can reach the top shelf. I'm loving it. It just feels like it brought the whole kitchen together with a finished feeling. Our next big project is the bathroom. Ugh!

I've been reading up on the tummy tuck... I'm calling for an appointment today. I was thinking if I get a consult the beginning of Oct. maybe I'll be approved by Nov. and thats when I'm laid off so I'm hoping for a flat tummy for Christmas.

Maurdan - I'm glad you're feeling better. Remember we're here for you, rant rave cry or sing, it really does help. We love ya and want you to do well too, let us know how the fill goes.

Leaving for DC tonight. DS is competing in the morning - no not mixed martial arts, tomorrow is an ironworkers competition for his apprentiship program. It doesn't matter what it is I always enjoy watching him AND it give me and dh some alone time.. in a hotel... no kids.. no dogs.. :waytogo:

just called the ps - my appointment is Jan 28!!! They put me on a cancel list but geesh I didn't think they'd be that backed up. I'm going to try a different one. Wish me luck.

Am I the only one checking in today? :waytogo:

Called the other ps - got an appointment on Tuesday!!!! I can't believe it!!! I'm so very very excited!!! So I read that if you smear dawn dish soap under your fat flap it'll irritate it enough to take the pics. If I didn't spray deo under there everyday I'd be sore anyway - so I guess I'll start the irritation process Saturday evening.

BEV; SO HAPPY TO KNOW YOUR OK I WAS WORRIED BUT LATLEY I HAVE WEIRD DREAMS HOPE GRANDMA GETS BETTER.

BK- THANKS BUT I DIDNT JOIN LOL I DID START WALKING AND I BOUGHT ME A WALKING DVD AND A AEROBIC STIPTEASE LOL DVD JAJAJAAJ HEY WILL TRY IT DONT HURT .

Hey girls--

I screwed up yesterday BIG BIG BIG time! I got into an accident, that was my fault! I didn't see the woman in front of me stop for a turn and rear ended her. Her car is fine but a few scrapes, but my baby, my Betty is trashed.... :eek: My freaking car! I have never had an accident before that has been my fault...

I am pretty hurt, they were worried about the band and did a catscan and lots of fun stuff. I feel horrible even though I am doped up on pain meds...

It is about $8k worth of damage on my car....

Number ONE: I am soooo glad you are alright!

Number two...Awwwww, not Betty?????? DAMN! I know you LOVE that car! Hopefully they won't total her out!

If the do total her out, you will find another one, I know you will. And while Betty will be mourned, you could have a newer one, perhaps Dita or Veronica?

boo boo, sorry about the car!! thank goodness you are ok!

just popped in to say hi

i finally gave in and deciced to phone surgeon and tell him im pregnant( im not eating enough) .i did ask him for partial unfill like half now half later but noooooooooo they insist on total unfill grrrrrrrr so appointment 1st of october i dont have scan until 27th of october so il know then if everything ok and hopefully it will feel real and not just something i talk about,my weight has really been moving down in last few weeks which im excited about then feel guilty about because im worried baby not getting enough good stuff to grow ,but selfishly i am terrified of watching the scale and waist band increase.im 12 weeks on tuesday so still very early days so wouldnt have gained much at this point anyway .ive never gained more than 28lbs on any of my 4 previous pregnancys but have huge fear because body used to little small meals if i eat normally or worse like piggy those damm scales going to fly back up,but heck im going to think positive im going to gain just baby weight and be fabulous ..oh apart from the jelly that going to behanging below baby bump ewwwwwwwwwww,ive been emailing surgeons about body lifts for next year i.e after goal has been achieved and baby big enough to sleep at night ..lol im thinking next xmas i seem to be losing the weight with not too much sag then suddenly look like someone let the air out will definately need work doing ...but then again my poor body not only dealt with yo yoing weight but now 5 babys so i was asking alot.will keep you all updated with progress and will be popping in to check on you all im so proud of you all can you believe how far we have all come ,we all go at different rates but none have failed to shrink in size and there has been many a bump in the road but we are doing it and for some you will be soon saying "I DID IT".
