Here we go now....start the new year with a new quarterly thread until we get busier again :laugh: Seems we held a thread each month but, we don't seem to need as many lately so why not try it quarterly for a bit. Saves us all time figuring out where the heck everyone is each month...umm...especially me hahaha.

Happy New Year!

Hello All! was just thinking of everyone,so I just popped in to say Hi, hope everybodys doing ok.

Me too! I miss everyone not coming here, I've been doing it for so many years.

Sorry....been so stinkin tied up after having my 23 year old step daughter moving in along with her dog. 4 dogs in this house is enough to drive anyone crazy...I think the paddy wagon is coming to take me away ah-ha, they're coming to take me away hee-hee, ho-ho, ha-ha

Me too! I miss everyone not coming here, I've been doing it for so many years.

I'm just checking in too! Sorry I have been so quiet on here. I think I just needed a break from LB. The LB process has consumed me this year and I had hoped for a better outcome. Not giving up, but I needed a break from thinking about it. Back to reality....:confused:

OK Y'all have had enough time to get your r&r from lbt, so now get your butts back here.

I just got home from grocery shopping, lots of good veggies, and fruits. I have to get my butt in gear and back on track. I just keep eating and drinking all the wrong stuff and I have gained and it's one place I don't want to go back to.

I sure wish I could do some walking again. I was doing so good when I could walk and get some exercise in.

It has been cold and rainy here all week. I think we are going to go up to Harley though and walk around. They are having a St. Pat's party. And of course I will have a few of the free beers.

I can't buy anything since our wages/hours have been cut so it is just window shopping and people watching.

What is everyone else doing?

Hey there Betty Yeah, I can relate to the eating and drinking all the wrong stuff....I totally "blew-it" for my vacation (beach destination). Have to s-q-u-e-e-z-e into some of the clothes that fit good last time! ugh. My son's wedding is mid May, maybe....hopefully.....got to!!!! Just got to get back on track!

I'd sure like to see everyone back in here too! Yooooo-Hoooo! where are y'all?

Hola everyone!

I'm baaaack too. Party's over. (sort of). I have a few commitments through Wednesday that will make being really good an impossibility, but then on Thursday its back to shakes and salads I think just to jumpstart things.

Yeah! Y'all are posting again!

It finally stopped raining here and the sun is shining.

I am ready for summer!

Hey there Betty! How're things going for ya? I keep coming in here and seeing the same few posts. I miss how active it used to be.

And hello to Trish, Pat, Sherry, Kat, and all the other sweeties that I havn't talked to lately! LOL!

Well, like I said earlier, I really screwed-up...gained weight, not following the rules! Now it's time to pay the piper...I have to go on vacation (beach, gulf of mexico) with all this extra weight! Nobody to blame but me.

Well be there from the 28th til april 7 (work on april 8 *yuck!*)

Gotta run, DH's calling for some assistance, lol!

Diane,

Go and enjoy yourself! You can worry about it when you get back home! By the way can I tag along with you? lol

Hey! Book it!!!!! Bet we'd have a blast!

Hi Everyone

Just checking out the updates on thread. I have to say I know how harley and sign girl feel. I have also gained weight. I was doing so well and then I couldn't eat and was throwing up. It's funny when I can't eat I gain weight. I guess partly because I'm eating the wrong foods, but I still don't get it.

I also don't get why all of a sudden things go south. Like why I started throwig up to begin with. Any ideas appreciated.

Hey folks I'm still alive. This is actually the first update notification I've received in a long time. Lots of stress in my end of the world so I haven't bothered posting anywhere really. :huh2: I just keep saying "this too shall pass" hoping it gets me through to the next week. I haven't gained since surgery but, I haven't lost much either. I did get a fill in February...I have the bigger band now so he gave me about 5cc's. I can feel some restriction somedays and others I don't feel it. However....unfortunately...UGH....with all the stress I think I'm holding in the heartburn is starting I haven't been woken up with that drowning feeling but, I am occassionally waking up to heart burn and coughing :eek: So another fill is out of the question for me. I think I'm coming to the conclusion...I've lost what I can and now I need to get this extra skin cut off and learn to like the "extra" padding I still have....just not sure I"m ready for the knife again though.

Sherry

I hope you wake up tomorrow and the heartburn is gone. Hang in there with the new band and adjustments
