I WAS THINKING ???

I was just thinking the other day gosh I wonder how some of the people who used to be on the board in the beginning are doing ? Like Chele with the twins and Cara with the VW Club and Dawn and Laker Girl and there are to amny to name ....... I hope things are wonderful for them and if the read the board it would be great to hear from them about how there life is going................. HAVE A GREAT DAY TORI

Hey Tori! I wonder how some of the old gang are, too... I know that Cara is on MySpace and, OMG...the girl looks like a pin-up model. She is drop-dead gorgeous. I mean "take your breath away" beautiful! Here are a bunch of people I miss...and would love to hear an update from... Cathlene A. (she used me make me laugh my butt off...I REALLY miss her!) Anna D. (where are you, woman...I miss you so much, too!) Julie Campbell Angela B. Shannon Mary (M.M.) Alex (Alejandro from Mexico) Dawn Kristi D. Laker Girl Rhonda (Texas Girl) Bridget Kunz David G. J Marie Lori Vickers (she had a baby, right??) Ladybug Angel LeeAnn E. Lisa Small Mellissa More or Less Nicole E. Norma R. Octavia Renee (in Wisconsin) Suzan Gabin Elsa If any of you see your name here...or if you just have not posted in a while, drop us a quick post to let us know how you are! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Lori had her baby early and he has some complications. She posts now and then on the preggo board.

I can update you on a couple of these. I've had email for Chele for time to time. She has moved and is no longer in Michigan. She and hubby are not doing well and life has been pretty frazzled for her. Cara, as Jersey said, is on MySpace. I've had email from her as well and she is fine, happy and skinny and yes gorgeous. Melissa More or Less we just had a post from on this board a couple of weeks back. She has had several plastic surgeries and is down to 225lbs!!!! Would love to see a new picture as this is a loss of 400+ for her. Well that's what I know.

How funny that I happened to decide to visit the board after months to find this post!! lol...it's lovely to know you guys remember me!! I am doing well. My weight loss is kind of stagnant...I'm at about 180 pounds and staying there. Of course, me getting better at exercising might help!! lol And I would love to see a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, boob lift, all that, but my financial picture doesn't have that in the foreseeable future! But overall I'm extremely happy with where I am. Wearing a size 10 pant is something I never thought would happen. Even back in my teen days when I was at my skinniest, I wore a size 12!! As far as my personal life, my bf of 11 years and I broke up about a year ago, which didn't really have anything to do with surgery and was the best thing for both of us. But I sure am glad I had surgery!! Being single with self-confidence has been liberating and I have really learned a lot about myself this past year. What I deserve and what I will not put up with. So, 80% of the time I am a happy camper (yes, it does get lonely from time to time). So ANYWAY, I am glad to see you guys and look at your pics...boy, you all look amazing!! Hopefully I'll be back soon!! Beth (lakergirl)

YAY! About time you came back here!!!! Loves Ya!

Hey there!! Yes, I am a bad, bad posting girl!! lol

Hey JerseyMOM, I still drop in , but I am such a LURKER...I know I need to post every now and then. SORRY ;( I am doing great and have lost 149 pounds now!!I feel FANTASTIC!!!Yuo look fab and so do a lot of other people on this board. What a long way we have all come!!Anyone hear from Dawn? I think that was her name, I know last I read she was pretty down on herself, I hope she is ok! Take Care, Shannon

I'm here to posting when I can.

Hey all! Sorry that I do not post as much as before, but here is an update. My weight has been a steady 125-129 now for a long time. Monday October 8th, I had a tummy tuck! All the way around. I am feeling tired, but have to admit, loving the results already. I go back on Monday to see the doc again, to get the last drain out and I think the staples as well. The swelling is not too bad, and I can see the beginnings of ab muscles!!! Holy Cow! I will post pics as soon as I feel a little better. By Saturday, I was so sick of not being able to wash my hair, so I went to the salon, and ending up cutting my hair! I got a stacked bob, which is short in the back, but long in the front. The girls say I rock the style...will post pics soon! I have been keeping up on the posts, just lurking I guess...you guess all are doing so well....keep up the good work! Love, Nicole E
