I NOTICE THAT THE BOARDS ARE SLOW THESE DAYS. WHERE IS EVERYONE AND WHATS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE????? I GUESS I NEED TO START LIFE IS VERY BUSY. LITTLE MISS OLIVIA IS DOING GREAT AND GROWING SHE IS ALMOST 11 WEEKS NOW!! TIME FLYS. i AM WORKING FULL TAIME AGAIN AND GOING TO SCHOOL 3 DAYS A WEEK. I STILL HAVE ABOUT 7 POUNDS OF BABY FAT TO LOSE BUT i FEEL GREAT. EVERYONE SAYS I NEED TO KEEP THE WEIGHT BUT I DUNNO.... MISS TALKING WITH EVERYONE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL SOON HEATHER

I'm here!! Haven't been around too much lately, life has been a little hectic. I'm now about 3 1/2 months out and down 52-54lbs. depending on the day!! LOL!! I'm happy with my progress and doing well. Glad to hear that lil miss olivia is doing well!! Jo Ann

Im here posting occassionally but as you said the board is quiet or there are answers posted that don't bear repeating...Im so happy for you - can't believe Olivia is 11 weeks already...enjoy these early days cause they grow so fast and are gone before you know it. Hope to go to the meet & greet in Sept.

Welp I saw you on Wednesday so you know what is up with me..but others don't. I lost 16 pounds after my husband left...I have gained back only 1 pound of it. So decided to deal with it and bought new jeans to fit me. So I am now down 190 pounds. I am just living life day to day...taking care of my kids. I am starting to look for work now, since my mom is back in town to help me out with temp childcare while I interview. I am taking 1 class this semster, I am going to still put my application in for the RN program at Seminole for January and see what happens..but since I am missing my humanities it is a slim chance this time around. Our house is getting closer and closer to being done...they did the electrical, plumbing and AC this week. I can't wait to go back home...the new area looks great and is soooo secure. I hope everyone else is doing well. Tracey

Hijack! Tracey, I've been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. When do you think you'll be able to get back into the house? I hope it is soon! I'm sure once that is done it will take a great deal of stress out of your life. Hang in there! Hugs! Vickie J.

I am not sure when..I am running over there today with a friend to see how things are going. I will take new pics and post them...it is looking really good! Thanks for thinking about me Vickie...I think of you and everyone else often, I just have other things going on in my life and I am finally getting to be an adult Hugs back Tracey

hey you!!!! hope your well!!

I'm still here, too, but it is busy around here! I'm trying to get ready for my son's wedding in N.C. I'll be leaving in 2 week to go to NC so I can be there for the festivities during the weeks preceeding the wedding and I'll be staying up there over 3 weeks. Then 10 days after I return from the wedding I'll be heading to Hollywood, FL and my wonderful ps Dr. Bernard Shuster, for my final round of plastic surgery (gonna get "the girls" lifted & refilled and get the bat wings clipped). Whoo Hooo! So I've not only got all the wedding / rehearsal dinner preparations to deal with AND my pre & post surgery preparartions but I've also got to get everything organized for being away from home for 5 of 6 weeks and being in "recovery" mode when I return. And if that isn't enough, I just realized that since I'm having my arms done, I will be pretty limited in what I am allowed to do... just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get all of my Christmas shopping done in the next 2 weeks before I leave for NC. Now do you understand why I said life is busy around here?? As for my weight - well, I've gained 4 lbs. from my post-LBL low, but I'm trying not to stress out over it.. I'm still below my goal weight and I'm trying to cut back on the salty foods. I'm craving salty, crunchy foods and since pretzels or apples with salt are my favs that isn't good! I can tell when I indulge that I begin to retain fluid and gain a bit. I'll try to post more often but I probably won't succeed. Ya'll take care of each other while I'm AWOL. Hugs! Vickie J.

Ms Vickie.. Do all your Christmas shopping online.. then you dont have to worry bout it!!

Good idea! I've always done a good bit of catalog & online shopping but I think this year it wil be MOST of my shopping. Now if I could just think of "what" to get family for gifts I'd be set. Thanks! Vickie J.
