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:

Good morning everyone. I will be back to post. I am just running through right now.

hi all

went for my walk, had breakfast and showered, going to dry my hair and hit the gym and tanning hut, I need light, I'm very depressed, I'm calling dr and having her increase my happy pills for sure.

Suzanne - I meant to say... Taylor Swift???? come on... she is good, I think she is the Miley Cyrus of Country...

I still love that kenny chesney/dave mattews song, listen to it daily to remind me I have lots to be thankful for.

Quick Post.

So much has happened in the last few days and I'm getting ready to leave again. Later tonight or over the weekend I will post about it. Kind of scary. I got a call about some test that were done and now I'm busy doing follow ups. Keep me in your prayers that it all is a mistake. I'll post more about it later.

Shalee, congrats on your bandiversary, you have done amazing. Hang in there.

Jenn, I like Taylor and listen to her. She writes awesome songs, she's just not a good singer. She's ok.

Tracy, Hi, love ya.

Laura, sorry to hear about you MIL. Keeping you and all of your family in my prayers. I would love to see a pic of the blanket.

OK, I gotta git. Have a great day.

Hi Tracy,

I live in Hurst, Texas and just had the band a few months ago. I've been married 21 years. I think it's great that you quit smoking. You sound like you've got a great attitude and are very determined so I'm sure you're going to meet your goal in no time! I wish you great success and have fun doing it! :)

Suzanne

you are in my prayers

I listen to her too, and I like Miley, i agree with her singing ability

Suzie, my prayers are with you! I truly hope all turns out well. I know for a fact that it can turn out ok. I hope the same for you.

Jen, I also hope the best for you too. I hate to hear you sounding so down.

Tracy, no that wasn’t a dream. Actually turns out I didn’t need to go after all. I’m ok with that, I wanted to stay home. J

Everyone, sorry this is such a quick post. Just stopping by to see how everyone’s doing. I’m doing good, just a super busy day at work.

TTFN!!

Hi guys

just checking in - waiting for my friend to get home from work and giong to happy hour... ok so maybe not the best thing, but I don't really care, I'm going!... and yes, I'm probably going to drink my misery away

Hi!

Welcome justiceaim1!

I had all these notes I was going to write to everyone and now I can't remember a darn thing! UGH!

We'll see how I do:

Suzie, I hope you're okay.

Jenn, hang in there.

Tracy, slow down! LOL!

Laura, sorry about MIL. Bummer about the yarn, sounds like a nice blanket.

Irene, Hi!

Shalee, congrats on your bandiversary and your accomplishments since banding! WTG!!!

This bronchitis is lingering. Figures. It usually does. I will do okay in the AM after I've gotten up and gotten "everything" moving but if I do anything, by afternoon, I'm toast and ready for a nap!

The ladies at church had their holiday boutique, lunch, cookie walk, thing today so we went for a couple of hours. I'm sitting here trying not to fall asleep now. Just wears me out to DO anything! :wink:

Totally loving my hair! Washed it for the first time this AM and all I did was towel dry it and run my fingers thru it and I was done! And my hair was nearly dry!

Well, we need to figure out what we're having for dinner tonight. I couldn't care less what it was. DH is getting tired of trying to figure it out every night. Now he's getting a taste of what I deal with when trying to plan meals!

Better go. I hope everyone has a good night and a good weekend! TTFN!

Hi there! We LOVE when new people post! How hve you been doing since banded? Thanks for the kudos for me quitting the cigs. The hardest part was the weight I gained but the band is helping me (slowly but surely) take it back off! Please stick around and talk to us! We have lots of nice folks in here. If you ever have any questions, just shout! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Tracy, no that wasn’t a dream. Actually turns out I didn’t need to go after all. I’m ok with that, I wanted to stay home. J

Well I am glad that it worked out for ya then! Have a great weekend girlie!

TTFN!!

Hey homies :lol2:

I am SO tired but I have to go get my dsd from her moms house. She just sent me a text saying she is ready for me to come get her.

My mom turned 70 today and we are going to bring her to lunch tomorrow. the whole family will be there. It was supposed to be a surprise, but she ruined that by knowing us too well and she figured it out! lol

Have a great night friends! :woot:

Here is my new do~OMG, I have a pointy chin! :thumbup:

Good morning gals

Well, What a crazy night! Slow start because of my mood but got home at midnight! I really should not have spent the money but you know what... I so needed it! Drinks, shots, crazy guys! ok they are all my favorite harmless crazy guys, but boy they know how to make me feel good about myself.

I went to school with the weekend waitress and see her all the time, I walked in last night and she didn't recognize me and said omg you are shirnking. How nice is that???? I just literally saw her 2 weeks ago.

So, I won't give you all the details... Tracy, remember the dance hall in Gurene? And the night I arrived with my Army friend??? Who, by the way I am meeting in Orlando when I go..... Yeah, I was a saint thent... LOL

Ok so I feel better, thanks for putting up with me. I t is raining here this morning so I'm going to te gym I have not been there this month at all. I am going to add my friend (as my roomie) and her daughter to my family plan at the Y which will motivate me to go back at night with the kids. I am also going to get my running shoes this week and start running. I'm going to start doing sprints when I walk and build up from there.

So I hope you are all doing well and have good plans this weekend.

Tracy, Love the hair. you look great, and younger! don't take that the wrong way. I know when i have curly hair I look like a fatty, and I've been wearing curley, so last night it was straight, that is pobably why i look ike i shrink

Good morning!

Tracy, love the new do! Happy b-day to your mom!

Jen, glad you had fun last night! Great plan re: the Y.

I really need to get my butt moving but I'm still too sick. Just can't get very far before I'm toast. :thumbup: I really just HATE being sick!!!!!!! :cool2:

I hope everyone has a great day! BBL!

Good Evening.

I was up at 5:30 and showered and ready to start my day. I had a class to go to this morning and didn't get out till around 11am. It was in a town about 25 miles from here. Well, on my way home I seen a sign for a Arts and Crafts show. STOP. I went in and did a little shopping and really enjoyed myself. I get back in the car and went about 4 miles and see a sign for a Holiday Mart. STOP. Went in and looked around, didn't buy anything but got lots of ideas for Christmas. I just love doing stuff like that. Hubby was wondering what happened to me. I came home and snacked a little, got in my chair and took a little nap. Boy that felt good.

Michelle, I hate that your still sick and having a hard time getting over it. But I know that I always have a hard time geting over chesty stuff. Seems to take forever. Good luck with it.

Tracy, love the new do. But it doesn't matter, you could shave your head and still be a cutie to me.

I just got home from church and hubby started a fire for me. It feels so good on my feetsies. He's such a sweetie. Guess I'll have to get up soon and make him some dinner.

Hope you guys are having a good weekend.

Jen, glad you had fun last night! Great plan re: the Y. Ok I went to the Y, walked 1 mile on the treadmill and my foot felt like it was going to fall off, definately need new sneakers. I did a mile though, which says a lot, cause I hate those things so much. I emailed my trainer too.

I really need to get my butt moving but I'm still too sick. Just can't get very far before I'm toast. :thumbup: I really just HATE being sick!!!!!!! :cool2: That is horrible, I hope you get better soon, maybe a total day of R&R

I hope everyone has a great day! BBL!
