Hazel's picture looks nothing like her. She is the cutest little thing!!
Boy is it raining here!!! So whats a girl to do when it rains.......why go have breakfast with friends at Ihop of course Meeting the girls at 9:15 and if Ihop is lucky we will leave by 1PM or so. The only thing we ask is that they keep the coffee coming.
Off to run through the shower, have a good day all
Ruth this is so funny because I do have big hair, it was hitting me in the face so my oldest son gave me a baseball cap to put on. But my hair is long and curly!!
Wow, Hazie, great going! It's stories like yours that makes me motivated even more as I head toward my consultation appointment for WLS in August! Who knows, I may reach my 195 and thensome by this time next year!
BUT...let's look at the short term goal I have for now--to hopefully break 300 by my August 25 appointment.
Lori! Did your doc tell you that you had to lose weight before the surgery? I have heard that some do. Welcome, by the way and I hope you stick around!
Hazel, loved the picture!!!! Congrats on your weight loss!
Hey Debkay, glad to hear that your mom is doing a bit better.
Hey Jiff!
Hey to Ruth too! and to any other lurkers!
and my dear Chickadee.....I am glad you joined us too...perhaps you can help get me out of my funk. I mean, all my pre op testing is complete but WHY or WHY won't I make the call to the surgeons office to set a date? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????? I'm telling ya, my house has never been so clean....the classic avoidance tactic! It may actually come to the point where I clean my basement. How low is that? Do you think I have ish-shoes? oh, yea, you might consider keeping a little cleaner by your monitor! ROFL
As to queens in the bronx, the only queens in the bronx are my two wonderful cousins. Love them! One time they came out here to the "country" and got lost. They waved at a policeman and were so upset that he just waved back instead of stopping to help them. My town, a friendly, stuck up sort of place!!!
same old same old otherwise. The kids were home all week and we actually had a pretty great time. I kind of like the little buggers. Of course today was suppose to be opening day for little league but the parade got rained out and my oldest is having a hissy fit.
Lori that August doctor visit will be here before you know it, and if your like the rest of us, when the doc wants to know if you have any questions..........you could answer them yourself. Isn't the net wonderful!!
gee peachie, according to our kids.......we CONTROL the weather.
Hazel... We want to see a NOW pic too! Congrats on you losses.
I'm home from work with SHINGLES... Not fun Went to doc Wed and she gave me meds to lessen the pain, but it zonks me out!!!
Jiff what's going on about the resurrection of your old company? I've been rather lax in visiting the site the last few weeks and if you've done an update I've missed it.
In the baseball department, I'm not into our Rangers much, but how bout our STARS? I know the lost the other night but they put up a heck of a fight!!! 5 overtime periods!!!
Debkay, I've missed you too, and was sure something was wrong. Hope your Mom keeps improving.
I've started an new diet the SOUTH BEACH diet and after 1 week I've lost 6 pounds. It's a low carb variation, with emphasis on low glycmic carbs.
Back again.......daughter was getting ready for her flute recital and needed me to paint her toenails We are both ready and just waiting for the time to leave.
Barb, shingles, I'm so sorry. Hope you feel better soon.
Hubby finally called this morning from England........he didn't call at all yesterday, so unlike him. It seems he was a little, how should I say this,............tipsy and fell asleep, before he called. I hope he had a hangover
Todays flute recital will be in memory of my friend Valarie. For those that don't know. My friend died from breast cancer in January. Her daughter is also a flute student with this flute teacher. Last year the recital was held in honor of Valarie and myself......since we had both been through so much. Today will be hard without Valarie.
hugs to all of you.. and barb.. no news on the job yet. might not happen until over the summer.
hope you didn't cry too much, deb... many warm thoughts for you.
and hazel.. you're gorgeous. and TINY!!! i always wanted to be tiny. at 5'9" it ain't a-gonna happen! not in this lifetime anway!
and as for queens in da bronx.. well, it makes sense!!! ALL those queens who used to hang out by port authority must have moved uptown!!!
as for me, went to the hanes outlet, and went to town. i don't think i did too badly: 3 nice t shirts, 2 pairs of bike shorts for the gym, a pair of white capris, a set of summer jammies, summer slippers, sandals, 3 pr socks, for 100 bucks.
and since i have NOTHING, this seems like a whole lot to me. and i bought all misses XL!!! tops fit perfectly, not sure about the bottoms. maybe they'll be inspiration if they don't quite fit yet.
and now i'm off to start another thread inspired by hazel...
Lori! Did your doc tell you that you had to lose weight before the surgery? I have heard that some do. Welcome, by the way and I hope you stick around!
Actually, it was both the ideas of me and my PCP. So far, I have been successful, and I can feel the difference. 1500 calories seem to be filling me up more and more each day to the point where I don't always make the entire 1500 total! (I think that is also a good sign )
Meeting the girls at 9:15 and if Ihop is lucky we will leave by 1PM or so. 
The only thing we ask is that they keep the coffee coming.
We are both ready and just waiting for the time to leave.
