Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

Woo hoo on the jeans.

Boo hoo for your daughter. I know they do the band on people as young as 16 and I think 18 is the more common age. It's certainly something to think about and your a good resource as far as how it really impacts ones life. Keep us posted about her.

Hi guys, well it's Monday and I am getting ready to go back to work. What a awesome vacation. I am so glad that I got to meet some of you, it really made for a memorable trip. It will probably take me a few days to get back into a routine. Wish me luck this is the longest I have been away in 8 or 9 years, so there will probably be a liitle bit of work waiting for me.

JC,

So how many emails were waiting for you?

Happy Monday ya'll.

I have a security meeting all morning, so i will check in this afternoon

happy day to all...

Deanna,

You need to get your nose out of the books and post here. Where are you???

Good Monday morning to ya!!! Juli, I actually just took yesterday off and did abso-fuckin'-lutely nothing. It was GREAT!! We actually had a game day. We probably played 8 hours of games the whole day. We went and did a bit of shopping, I did my running and then back to games. It was great!! No tv on all day, and we spent some good good quality time as a family together. I know the day is coming really quick when DD doesn't want to be around us anymore. I hate that it happens, but it does. Went through it with son.

HP, congrats!! on the clothes!! That is sooooooo freakin cool!!!! That is too bad about your DD. I know it really hurt my mom to see me at my heaviest. She always thought it was her fault some how. Gosh, I love that woman!!! She is an awesome mom. You sound like you are too. I know I put A LOT of weight on when I moved away to college at 19. A LOT!! And it never came back off.

BG, What size are you wearing at 205? How tall are you? I am 5'7" and I am still wearing a 22 pants or 2x's. SOme things I could wear a 1x if they have a drawstring. Shirts I am still a solid 2x and might not feel comfortable in a 1x for some time. I think the last 2x's I got it said 18-20W. MOst 2x's are 22-24W though, I think.

B,

You have ended the sperm bank donations huh? Well, my DH did the same thing 12 years ago. I hope you can get on the bike and get some good riding in here pretty quick. I feel ya on the school work. This weekend I took Sunday off completely and didn't do any work. It was great!!

JC, a real date or with the bra and panties????? Let us know the truth!!

D it depends on the clothes. Ususally I am wearing about a size 16. Many things in an XL but starting to go into L. Some of my 16's are a little too big. I just got some new scrub pants that are a Large and fit good. They are lime green flare leg and way sexy.

scrubs=sexy???? Who knew?

So long as you don't start singing, "I'm too sexy for my scrubs, too sexy for my scrubs...."

D - Hope to keep making the donations, just don't so much want the sperm

B

Hell yes they can be sexy. Especially with my rhinestone encrusted crocs and hot pink shirt. I am way bright and sexy today lol.

B, how many kids you have? I actually didn't know you had kids....I guess the subject never came up.....depositing without the worries of reprecussions is GREAT!!!

BG, I bet you are sexy no matter what you wear.

So xl and l at 205.......NICE!!! I can't wait!!!

J, I think BG came up with the sexy song....don't you?
