Hi there. Just wanted to see if I could build a new home with some new (and hopefully old) friends. I do not wanna be 'homeless' anymore so here I am! This is gonna be a place for friends to meet (hopefully) and talk about anything & everything.

My name is Tracy and I live in Deer Park, Texas. I have been married for 6 years. I was banded in April '07. Got 4 pounds away from goal, quit smoking and gained 46-50 pounds back so I am on my journey again. This time as a non-smoker :w00t:

This is a life change and with it comes lifelong friends...wanna come along for the ride? :blushing:

Suzanne

Have fun today and please give Jane huge hugs for me, I miss her and she is such a sweet soul.

Tracy - Your poor friend. I've come to realize that guys suck, ok not all of them, but I know so many, including mine who leave and have no problems walking away from their lives, children and responsibilities. I just don't get how you could do that, but oh well.

Fill... yipee!

Speaking of deadbeats, I go to family court on Thursday, I'm a nervous wreck, it is not going to be fun at all, and the way our track record has gone, it will be dragged out forever.

I just don't get how you could do that, but oh well. I used to work with him too and who she is describing is nothing like the man I knew. Makes it hard to believe...makes me wanna go smack the sh*t out of him!

Fill... yipee! :crying: I am SO excited!

Speaking of deadbeats, I go to family court on Thursday, I have to tell you, this made me chuckle...the wording of it, not the situation. I'm a nervous wreck, it is not going to be fun at all, and the way our track record has gone, it will be dragged out forever.Positive thoughts only,,,and NO stress eating is allowed

Good morning everyone. I weighed the same this morning...fine with me!

I got a new cell phone yesterday and I LOVE it. It is an LG Vu...touchscreen. the only thing that worries me is that it lasts for a while! I am used to buttons!

Have a great day everyone! :thumbup:

Hey

Tracy - Seriously, kev turned into something I never thought was possible too, and Happy thoughts, I no longer stress eat, I stress walk. Actually, I just came back from a 4.5 mile walk, the last couple weeks have been nice, today, just couldn't stop thinking today.

Go you with the new phone, I love my palm, part touch part key pad

Ok going to finih my water and get lunch

Back home from my trip to Columbia to see Janiebug. It was so good to see her and I gave her hugs from everyone. I just enjoy spending time with her, wish we lived closer. I wish I could show you a pic of us but we didn't take any. Oh well, maybe next time. I just called her to tell her I made it home and she still had about 20 more miles to go.

We met at Olive Garden and then went over to the Mall and walked. We stopped at the food court and got Orange Julius's and sat and talked for about an hour. Next spring I'm gonna try to go spend a few days with her and seee her part of the State.

Night everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Good Morning.

I have a super duper busy day today.

Work and than have to head over ot Kansas for my appointment with my Band Doc. Than meet my friend Judy for a couple of hours and than drive all the way home to pick Hubby up to drive back to the Casinos. Today is my nephews 21st B-day and we are going out to dinner. I'm gonna be worn out tonight.

I most likely will not get a fill. I really don't think I need one. What I need to do is to keep away from the halloween candy. I need to quit thinking that I can eat it all. I know I have lost weight but not as much as I should have and that's what I hate.

Have a great day and I will check in late this evening.

Happy Monday all

Suzanne, so glad you had a good time with Jane. I miss her. Sounds like you have a busy day today.

Just want to say a quick hey, I'm running late, ok screwing around too long drinking an extra cup of coffee, so have to get up and make breakfast for the kids and get ready to walk.

I'll be back when I'm relaxing eating my egg

Good morning everyone! Wow, I was SO shocked at the scale this morning. It showed that I have lost 3.5 more pounds. I am not gonna claim it on my ticker until I weigh it again tomorrow. :hurt: I made it all day with NO SUGAR! *Me* No sugar. Unbelievable. I am so happy that I am getting my groove back...and this is with an empty band. I know alot may be water weight but ya know what? 5 pounds of water is still 5 pounds lighter :wink2: so you will never hear me say, 'oh, its just water weight that I lost'....I don't care what kind of loss it is, as long as the scale is going in the right direction.. lol

I am about to give my dd her valium :cryin:. She has to be at the dentist in an hour and her gave her a prescription for one 5 mg valium.

Suz-SO glad you had a good trip!

Jenn-walk a few miles for me!

Cindy-raining there to right? It is suppsed to rain all day here...flash flood warnings and all that fun stuff.

Hope all of you have a great Monday!

GO TRACY!!!!:wink2::thumbup:

GO TRACY!!!!:wink2::thumbup:

:cryin: Thank you sista!

Hey ladies!!

Suzie, yes! I hate the Halloween candy! We have some 3 Musketeers and I ate a fun size. I felt so bad because it cost me 1 point! I can think of such better things to use 1 point on. Like, right now I’m eating some salad with 1 Tbsp of lite ranch. It’s a huge bowl, and it’s also only 1 point. I can also tick off 2 servings of veggies. Nice! I can’t tick anything with a candy bar. L

If you don’t think you need a fill, then you probably don’t. Don’t be like me! LOL

Tracey, good deal! You’re really doin it! Feels great huh? Yeah I’ve finally been buckling down and it’s paying off. I’ll just keep praying for strength to keep going. I get sidetracked too easily…

I got notified I might be sent out to the Santa Cruz fire to help out with all the invoicing. That can sidetrack me. I won’t have my workout room and I won’t have all the healthy stuff right next me. I’ll probably have to eat out all the time. That’s really going to be tough! I have my tracker though so I’ll really need it. I might need to keep it at 24 points per day since I won’t be able to burn it off. Hmmm… now I’m not even sure I want to go!

See y’all soon! Hope you all had a nice weekend. J

Irene-invoicing for what kind of company. I just quit/retired after 20 years doing invoicing for an offshore oil service company. I never wanna see another invoice in my LIFE~ LOL

quiet here today

I've been crazy all day, walked, showered, and just running, beautiful day here so went out with ds to ride his bike, eating dinner and might hit the gym, not 100% sure yet, ds looks like he is going to fall over eating his dinner, it has never been so quiet! LOL

ok off to eat my turkey burger

xoxo all

Oh hey Tracey, I work for CAL-FIRE (The State of California’s Fire Department). These are invoices that are in result to the fire. It’s a little bit boring, but you know – maybe I just need a break from the office. I don’t think it will be too much of a big trip anyway.

Jen, sounds lovely! Those are the best days IMO, when you don’t have a whole lot going on and you can just enjoy the sunshine. We’ve had some nice weather here too. But, ours won’t last. We’re supposed to be getting a few days worth of rain soon. L

Hey is anyone watching that show Flash Forward? I must say… it’s pretty darn interesting! I started watching it last night. I missed the first few episodes and I’ve had a few hanging around on my DVR. I went to abc.com to watch the first ones and I’m already hooked! I’ll continue tonight with maybe one or two on the DVR.

It was beautiful, went to lunch with a friend, and drained the water off the pool cover, and played with my son. I'm exhausted. It has rained here all weekend, our last football game was saturday and we were in tropical type rain for 3 hrs. So sun is nice

I have them DVR'd but have not watched them, I am hooked on Mercy and Ghost Whisper and that is all I have time for. LOL
