Yay Kat!!! That's AWESOME!!! :)

p.s. I heard you guys down under are WAY kinkier than us Yanks. You can't fool me, I've seen Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Heavenly Creatures :)

HAHAHAHA!!! That's too freakin' funny! :spit: And what makes it even funnier for me is that last weekend at St Pete Pride one of the bars had a big pink bus named Priscilla!! No pink chiffon flowing behind though. But they did have tulle in rainbow colors tied to the back of the roof rack!

Way to go!:clap2: 48lbs !!! Nice to see you here.

Steeve and Kat , Congrats on the approvals, won't be long now, seems that is the hardest part.

Lucy, good luck on the fill, just had my first (late) What a difference !! I was :hungry: all the time, just like the same old battle all over again, I got a few years on most of you so it's been a LONG one for me. I actually did manage to lose a bit over time, my all time high being about 75 lbs more than now. Anyway, I got the same 10cc band, it holds 4cc total, but they start slow. not everyone will need the 4. seems to me that the fill is what it is all about. without it is like trying to run your car with out gas! gone through too much to get here to be struggling now!:dance:

Lucy,

I dont know about us being more kinkier than you, I've been to the states a few times & have experienced a few Mr Kinks myself - Great memories !!!! :)

Eddie,

How's it going after your fill/s.?? Mine first fill is next Wednesday. Can't wait for that one. AT the moment it's like I have no restriction at all. Looking forward to dropping more of that weight - skinny jeans here I come !

Take care everyone & have a good weekend.

I'm off work tomorrow (friday) - hubby is having nerve surgery on his hand - no big deal - but for a 54 year old man - oh my God what a baby !!! He says he's even getting a bell to ring when he needs something....lucky I have selective hearing !!!

Damn, we're going to New England over spring break so our budget won't allow Vegas too. Hopefully, I can talk Sean into driving up to Canada and getting married while we're there...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
