Purse? Who carries a purse?

I'd feel naked without my purse. Besides purses are another excuse to go shopping!

Please say a prayer for my brand new nephew Shane. He was born yesterday at 37 weeks. He is in the NICU as his blood sugar is really low. They fear his pancreas may not be working properly.

Sending positive thoughts his way.

PJTP: I smell fish. (Ask Glouc)

Glouc and I had a roaring good time yesterday. There was even a bit of flashing going on. Yes, I had too much to drink AGAIN. Glouc's friend Anna makes the most insanely delicious burgers. I didn't put it on a bun though so I'm still a good bandster, as long as you overlook all the empty calories from liquer shots, whipped cream topping on Irish Cream, margaritas...

I don't know how I missed that. Happy anniversary! We talk about the similarities in our husbands. This is NOT one of them. My DH wouldn't know romance if it walked up and slapped him in the face. He bought me a stove for one anniversary. I could have slugged him. I had to tell him, that was NOT a suitable anniversary present.:thumbup:

they ARE similar...

dh is very affectionate/attentive - MUCH more so than i am. he's good w/gifts at random times. he hates bdays/anniversaries/xmas/valentines ..... he likes to "surprise" on other days outside the "half to ones"....odd

It was pretty here today. But we have storms moving in again tomorrow. Then it is supposed to get cold enough for a heavy freeze for a couple of days. Low For Sun.night into Monday is 40. The high for Monday is supposed to be 45. Then Mon. night down into the 20s and not to warm on Tues. I am so ready for it to stay spring. But here in N. Alabama we have Winter, almost spring, summer, almost fall.:thumbup:

dropped 35 degrees overnight and is WINDY.

the weirdest spring since i've been in tx.

Little Shane is still in the NICU. They had to put in a feeding tube as he needs some help with feedings. He has hardly nursed so they had no choice but the tube him. At first they had the rate up to high so he was vomiting everything up. They have since turned it down so hopefully he will get stronger soon. I appreciate all of your kind words and prayers sent his way. I wish I could be in Colorado to see him.

Here is a picture from this afternoon.

CC. he is so precious. My prayers are still flowing forth for him.

Any word on Susan? Praying for her also.

Kat, hows the 1st week of work been?

It is slow in here tonight.

Have a good night everyone.

Are you losing inches?

Actually, a week ago I did some measurements and, though I hadn't lost anything in that week, I WAS down four inches. So I try to hold onto that.

[BethFromVA 5]

Now for me - I went and purchased some new clothes in size 12 last night. It feels so nice have something that fits even though I hope it will not be for long! lol

I still see pictures of me and just see FAT even though I have lost so much. I frustrate myself!

I'll give you my eyes to look through, my friend. You look marrolous (mimicking Billy Crystal)! Like I told you last week, just try to realize that there is ALWAYS somebody (like myself) who wishes they looked like you. :thumbup:

Welcome to Advanced Weight Loss 201. Seriously, it seems most people on LBT have plateaus after the initial weight loss. Mine started after the first 11 lbs lost. I'd lose a couple of pounds and then nothing for a couple of weeks and then a couple of more and so on and so on. For the last 2 weeks I've been losing and gaining the same 2 lbs; however, today, I had an infinitestimal movement of a whole whopping 1 lb downard from my lowest weight since the surgery so I'm now "officially" 173. I hope this is not the beginning of a new trend where I only lose .5 lbs every 2 weeks. At that rate it will be 2 years from today to reach goal.

I know... I sound like such an ingrate. I was thisclose to having lost 50 pounds before my plateau hit. Also, I have a fill this coming Thursday, so hopefully that will help. I've noticed the last week or so I've been hungry sooner after having eaten and I can eat a bit more than I was a few weeks ago.

G4 - I know exactly what you mean about the chewing - I wonder how long it take to become habit?

Oh, good, so I'm not the only one? :thumbup:

Oh, no, CC! I just got your e-mail but hadn't been on this thread for a few days since I've been at the folks'!

Do they think it will begin working properly eventually, or... I guess my question is, what do they do for that?

Omg, a STOVE? That's like buying Viagra for them!

Have you taken pictures of your progress? I have taken 3 pictures since I had my surgery. I can tell a difference when looking at those pictures when the scale isn't being so kind.

I haven't during this 3+ weeks of plateau, but maybe I should. Sounds like an idea.
