[Daisalana 33]

OHHH TRACY!!! That looks friggin AWESOME!! I couldn't picture it, I meant to post earlier I need pics. I absolutely love it, it looks so chic!! Looks like you colored it too, it's blonde now?

TracyKS~ OMG I love the hair do! You really look beautiful, it is so becoming on you. Not that it is important, I think DH will love it too! I love that you are the boss of your own hair. You look wonderful!!!

Well, I talked Susanne into taking me to Breakfast. I am pooped after last night, and the house smells like grease. My lady comes tomorrow...so she can clean the stove then.

We are gonna be a little lazy today. I have one interview later...but today we are just gonna chill. I am making her other fav for dinner (pork chops) and then more relaxing, lol!

TracyK~ The book is great. My opinion is we all have issues...whether we know it or want to think about it or not. That is why I am slowing digesting this book. I am trying to use it as a tool. Read and process...read and process.

Have a great day violets!!!

I hope you girls don't mind an intruder butting in, but I just had to post to let Tracy know how fabulous that haircut is! It makes your eyes look huge and I really think it makes you look younger. I know you are having issues with your DH, but I think he will change his tune on the hair the second he sees you.

As you can see, I have not been much of a poster since joining LBT - I'm more of a lurker. I do read your thread from time to time just because I think you girls are a great group. I was first drawn in by TracyinKS's amazing shrinking woman pictures last summer.

Today is actually my bandiversary and I am down 80 pounds, so I would like to thank all of the Shrinking Violets for your inspiration.

Sheri: THANKS! and HAPPY BANDVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 80 lbs is awesome!!!!! now how about some pics from you! :crying:

Thanks everyone for the compliments.. I've never had my hair this straight or in this style.. it took a while for me to get used to it, but my sis and mom both told me that it made me look younger.. and my BOSS... well he is OVER THE MOON about how fabulous it is! (he's so funny, he thinks of me as his daughter)

Tracy LOVE THE HAIR!!!!!!!

Makes me kind of jealous now, I put layers in my hair, wish I had my bob back!!

Happy Bandiversay Sheri and welcome!

Tracyk, I will send you the book actually now, and you can send it back when you finish. I bought another book at the same time called "I wish I were Thin, I wish I were Fat". I will read that first. The cover says the title of course and then 'the real reasons we overeat and what we can do about it.

Friday night knitting club is slow, I have been reading it for a couple of months now it seems. It is getting better now that I am at the end.

Oh well off to work!!

Tracy, I echo all the other compliments. Your hair cut is beautiful. Makes you look sophisticated and elegant.. and a healthy dollop of sassy!!!

Sheri... congrats on the -80# What an accomplishment!!! You gotta be proud. And do you have yorkies??? If so, we have something else in common!! Chippy and Kirby are my babies!

[TerriDoodle 6]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair Tracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!! Really!!! What a great move on your part!! Just wonderful! You did a great job styling it yourself this morning, too!

[TerriDoodle 6]

Janie - I'm reading Knitting Club, too......and I also find it a bit slow. Wondering how it made the bestseller list!?

Sheri - Welcome!! And major congratulations to you on losing that 80#!! You are my hero today!

You guys are all so nice! I should have known you would be so welcoming after reading your posts for so long.

Judy - Yes, I have two yorkies that are my babies as well. I am single and do not have any children so my dogs have always been my babies. I have a 6-year old named Buddy and a 2-year old named Prissy. We also have a Shih-Tzu named Gidget and I must say that she is much better behaved than the yorkies.

Tracy - I don't know about pictures. I did start taking monthly pictures at the beginning (inspired by your example). But then we kind of petered off once the weight loss slowed down some. I say "we" because my sister Cindy also had lapband surgery last summer - her's was in June and she has also lost about 80 pounds. I'll have to see if I have the nerve to post pictures sometime.

Terry - I wouldn't consider myself anyone's hero, but thanks for the compliment! We also have a few things in common - I live in Texas, we are very close in age, and I am caring for my mother who was disabled by a stroke several years ago.

Jane - Thanks for the welcome!

TRACY!! You look damn gorgeous woman! You looked beautiful before but this cut is so hot! Good for you for standing up for yourself! I hope Charles realizes pretty quickly that he's got a damn good woman and he should be PROUD that you don't kowtow to him or to any other man...

[Daisalana 33]

Welcome Sheri! -80 is fantastic! Don't be shy to post pics, we're one big happy family in here :Banane37:)

I just got a blackberry curve, work wants me to be able to get e-mails when I'm not here.. yay? It's hella complicated, trying to figure it out right now.

There is nothing better than turning on your computer and getting the best surprize of the day. Tracy, Thanks for posting the pics. What a surprize. I know you said you had cut your hair but I didn't even imagine something as beautiful as that. Your a LOOKER.

Welcome Sherri. And corats on the weight loss. Join us anytime you get the chance.

I went shopping this morning and got stuff to get ready to make my gifts for the get together. I promise as hard as I can I will try my best to get there this time.

Gotta get ready to do my shift at the hospital tonight. We have so much fun working there. They sure do keep us busy.

Have a great day.
