Hello everyone...I am being banded on April 10th. I am so excited! Seems like it's been forever to get to the countdown, but I think it'll be here before we know it!

Anyone else scheduled in April? We need to come up with a group name!

Carol

Tammi-- Congratulations! What a fun goal...I'm another one that wants to weigh less than my husband. I'll have to check with him. I think I might be there. I'd forgotten about that and since you brought it up, I will have to see.

L2L- Girl, where have you been??? You back on track? Logging food? I haven't officially started back on track myself. Still have company and can't seem to get into a new routine.

Brandy-- You are amazing. I'm so proud of you. Your happiness is coming out in your posts! {{{hugs}}}

CC-- Glad you're feeling better!

Bea--Good info. Thanks for sharing all of that.

So I got a new job for my birthday!!!! I'm so excited. I am getting a raise and a whole new position. I interviewed in December and on Tuesday this week I got the call!! Woo Hoo!!! And then today, I lost 2 pounds. I am only 1 pound away from a major goal/victory! Onederland is only one stinking pound away. Just one! But tonight I shall dine. On cake. Chocolate cake to be exact, with Margaritas. I'm celebrating! hee hee

Thanks, everyone!

Congrats on the new job Turler!! Way to go!

Thanks Tammi!

Leslie...Chat me up!

I hit the 170's today!! I am so excited. I am only 3 pounds away from weighing less than my husband! That's been a secret goal of mine for awhile now. He has no idea what I actually weigh so I can't share with him.

Onward and downward!

:regular_smile:

Way to go!!

Thanks Carol! I am super happy. I havent been 195 in forever haha... Well atleast 10 years. I have my Hawaii vacation in just a few weeks I am aiming for 80lbs lost by then and to be in the 180's thats huge to me as well. Every pound right now just gives me so much more motivation.

CONGRATS on your new job!

I'm here lurking...I know I know got to post more. I'm doing okay though...

As long as you're around my dear :cool:

Brandy - what a great blog you have...that takes some dedication.

Turler - new job? I missed the post..... Congrats to you! I started a new job at the end of October. A CPA firm. Am having such a good time getting settled in. The staff is wonderful. I feel very blessed. Hope everything is going great for you!!

Tambo - I want to weigh less than my husband. He is a solid 180 so it is still a while off yet.............I am about 1/2 inch taller than him in flat feet so it would be good to be smaller around......since I can't do anything about the height.

Down 2 lbs since I last posted. TOM makes me not want to exercise but I have to work through it!!

All you gals are an inspiration!!! 8-)

Guess who made it to ONE-DERLAND!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Carol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((Doing the Happy Dance with You!!!))

Thats fantastic Carol!! I knew you could do it :thumbdown:

It won't take long and you'll be at goal.

Thanks Ngirl about my blog. It's not very much work at all. I don't post as much as I really could/should though. I only work 4 days a week and I usually do it from there haha.

Congrats on making it to Onederland!!! Way to go. When you all meet your goals, it motivates me to keep going. My husband and I are hitting the gym again tonight (took a month off for the holidays). I've been doing the 20 minute area specific Pilates DVD's, but am anxious to lift weights again.

I wish everybody a happy week!

Congrats Carol!!! It's a great feeling isn't it??

Hi Ladies. I hope everybody is having a great week. It's TOM for me, so no scale for a few more days! Only 5 pounds to go for my Valentine's Day goal. How is everybody else doing? Started back to the gym this week - yikes my triceps are killing me. Trying to get rid of the "waddle" when I wave my arms.:sneaky:

I apologize in advance if this is too wordy, want to make sure I give enough info.

When I had my surgery in Mexico, I met a great lady from San Fran who had her surgery the same day I did. Since the nursing staff didn't speak English, we became fast friends. We emailed a few times then lost contact with each other. Cleaning out my desk (year end motivates me!) I came across her info. Long story short, we chatted for over an hour yesterday. She has had a miserable time since about 2 months after the surgery. She's had to get totally unfilled twice. She's travelled to Mexico to get filled under fluor a few times, as well as getting filled in San Fran. After getting a total unfill in November, she just got a fill a few days ago. She feels pretty good about this fill, but wonders if she should go back and get a bit more put it.

She is a lawyer, so from time to time her job gets very stressful. She has noticed a correlation between needing an unfill and her stress level. I recommended staying where she is now with her fill until she gets in to a stressful situation.

I know a few of you have had to get unfills, sometimes a complete unfill. Do you have any advice for her? I told her about this great group of ladies and hope she'll at least lurk for awhile before joining our group. Between plane tickets to Mexico and the cost of the fills in the US, she's spent an additional $3k or so just on fills. She's lost a total of 35 pounds and is beyond frustrated.

Any advice or help is greatttttttly appreciated! Thanks so much.
