Topic: RE: HEYYYYYYYY!!!! (long...)
Good to see you Pam! I have missed you! Sorry to hear all of the bad. I hope things get better for you soon. I too have had a busy summer. I had to squeeze some fun into it! This weekend we are suppossed to go to a theme park, but I hope I feel up to it with the queasies and all!
I feel like I have the worst morning sickness ever on and off all day. Yuck! But the funny thing...I seem to be able to stomach only crap I shouldn't eat! LOL! If I eat protein products I am deathly ill. But I ate a Krispy Kreme this morning and nothin'!! I figure I am only getting in about 400 calories a day right now so what the heck, huh?
Try to have some fun and call the dentist!

just sayin' "hey" ya'll!! Awwwwww..... Mj & Tiff!! 
you thought of me??? You guys are the best... I miss everyone here so much! I check in on everyone when I can - but never have time to hang out and post anymore. I've been working my tail off. It's really having an effect on me too. It sucks.
I've been a little down lately too. Between work (working OT and training) and home (cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and never getting anywhere) I have been totally missing out on the summer. So much stress lately. I've been debating on looking for a new job, but I think I'm just gonna plow through this phase and keep the faith. Plus, I missed my B12 shot TWICE now... and man - I am feeling it. The sublinguals just don't seem to cut it with me. I'm so worn out - for the first time in my life I actually feel like I could fall asleep just driving down the road and I'm normally the LAST person to sleep in a car. It's bad. And i think something is funky with my tummy - like maybe an ulcer or something. It's hard to describe, but it just isn't right. Seems like everything bothers it. Sometimes it just downright hurts and my belly is bloated. AND one of my fillings fell out - and I've been so busy that i haven't been able to get to the doctor OR dentist. When it rains, it pours. I've GOT to get my s*it together! So yea, I'm down in the dumps a bit.
MJ - I hope you can find that perfect job soon. I worry about you ... I know if I stayed home, I wouldn't eat like I should - I would barely eat - I don't know why that is, that's just how I am at home. But when I get around others - I tend to eat more normal. I just worry that you might not be getting enough nutrition in. I love ya, girl... just want to make sure you are okay. 
Oh, you better get lots of pics of your son playing football. It's so fun to watch them play!! and gosh, they just grow up so fast.
Tiff, I'm sorry to hear about your divorce. That is hard. (((hug))) BUT congrats on your upcoming surgery!! Wooo HOOOOO you are gonna LOVE the results!! I'm so happy with mine....really happy. Man, you got a good price!! Wish i could go back and do the tummy and thighs...but that ain't happening anytime soon. Your pics are AWESOME girl!! WOWIE!!!
I'm suppose to get together with some OH girls from around MD, VA (and I think SC) in Baltimore this weekend to go out for a much needed night of fun. I'm really looking forward to it - I just hope I can WAKE up for it and nothing else goes wrong before then!! I'm scared to death this tooth is gonna start hurting.
I need to update my pics too. I got my hair cut shorter and I'm all healed up and the girls don't look anything like those pictures anymore.... but I don't know when I'll get to do it! My weight is very very settled. I range between 124-128. Haven't lost anything in months - but I eat between 1400-1800 calories a day. So I'm happy with that. Like I heard a comedian say on TV - "I can eat AND be sexy!" 
Well, in my own mind anyway!
Anyway, I love you Junebugs and I miss you. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to be able to come back in here more often. You know, I think being active in here really does help with this journey. Seems so much tougher since I've been away.
Hugs,
Pam

Hi Mary jo
I was just wondering how you were. I am glad that you are ok. I hope that you find a job soon. My daughter is looking for a job right now also. It is tough. You would think that it would be easier then it is but it is difficult. You take care of yourself. You cannot take care of others if you dont take care of yourself. I will keep you in my prayers. As far as what is going on with me. Life is pretty "normal" now. I am down 137lbs. I would like to take off another ten but if it doesnt happen its not the end of the world. I have really gotten into exercise this summer. My brother-in-law died in an accident in May and I started exercising more to help me cope with the loss and now I really enjoy it. I am training to do a 10k on labor day. I usually walk/jog about 1 hour to 1 and a half hours 5 or 6 days a week. I havent lost much lately about 2 or 3 lbs a month but all the walking is helping tone up my body because I get a lot of comments about how I look like I have lost more and "when are you gonna stop losing" Who would have ever thought that I would get comments like that.LOL Well anyway, I hope you find a job soon. It was nice to hear from you.

I guess I should have checked the rest of the board before replying to your other post LOL!! I am glad you are doing good, but hey you do need to start eating more if you can. I am jealous of the petite you though! I will always be a great big amazon girl no matter how much weight I lose!!! LOL! It sucks sometimes!
But on a brighter note my love life could not be better! Wink, wink!! I guess my hubby likes great big amazon girls!
Hope your little girl heals up quickly and I hope you don't spend too much time in a funk. You sure have a lot going for you. Smart, sexy and beautiful to boot! Life will turn around and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about!
I'll keep you and the kid's in my prayers,
Wendy

Hey Mary Jo!!!!!!!!!
It is so good to hear from you! Wow, you are doing really well. I wish I was down to that low of a weight! I am sure you look great! Sorry to hear that you haven't found a job yet, I know how you feel. I have been looking and there isn't much out there right now.
I haven't been on here much because I have been going through a divorce. It has been pretty rough and very time consuming. I didn't have internet access for awhile either. As far as my weight goes- I am at 134. I am happy here. I went to see my surgeon for my 1-year last week (a little late) and he said that he doesn't want me losing anymore weight, that pretty much what I have left is lots of skin.
I scheduled and paid in full for my first round of plastics. Breast lift with implants and brachioplasty (same thing as Pam) I paid $8500 and if my labs come back OK then I will be having that done on Sept. 7th. The tummy tuck is going to be $7000 actually its a lower body lift. I am not sure on having more children someday so I am going to wait a little while longer. I don't think I will want any but I really need to make sure first before I have that surgery.
Anyway, I only have a few new pictures of my face. They are on my picturetrail account:

It is nice to be able to be happy with my weight and size (size 4/5) and eat what I want when I want (within limits of course). I look forward to hearing about my fellow junebugs on your updates too!! And PAM!!! Where are you?????
Mary Jo, thank you so much for posting this!!! I have missed you!

Hello Mary Jo. You sound down. I wish you well and pray for you to find a job you love. Keep your head up and try not to stress out to much. You are a sweet person, hugs to you.
Hello to all the Junebugs: I like Mary Jo have read and not posted. Busy with vacations and grandbabies. I reached my goal of 150 in June and have maintained fairly well. I drop to 145 and back to 150 all the time. I wear from 6's to 10's depending on how they are made. Mostly 8's All is well here and I hope all is well with all the Junebugs.
Taking all 8 grandbabies to the waterpark tomorrow. I will really be stressed tomorrow. 
will be the word of the day!!! Ages 10 to 3 months O Boy, Hubby will be going bald. No really it is fun with them, the older ones help and we have a good time. I took the 4 older ones to the Grand Canyon and on a 3000 mile road trip the last week of July and we had sooooooooooo much fun. I ask the youngest I took to look over the canyon and what did he see and he said "Rocks, rocks and more rocks, what do you see?" we all just laughed so hard. I guess at 3 they are just rocks.
I wish you all well and I do read just don't post much. Need to be more dilligent. God Bless you all.
Hugz to all,
Deloris

hello junebugs! i have not posted much lately, but i always read everyone's posts. i am glad to see that our june board is still alive, although i do see how much slower it is. i really would love to hear from PAM and TIFFANY, as i haven't seen nothing from them in quite some time. so, come on ladies, if i can do it, so can you! LOL
as for me, i have been ok i guess. been a little depressed due to financial struggles, but went to my doc for meds. i still have to pick them up! LOL still no job, but looking. kids are good. my 8 yr old broke her wrist on sunday, fell off the monkey bars. but she is a trooper and feels ok. my son started football practice last week. i love it, he is so fun to watch!
and i am doing ok with my journey i guess. as most of you know, i reached my goal of 120 in april. today i am down to 112, so i guess i have lost still an average of 2 lbs a month since then. i really don't want to lose anymore. yesterday morning i saw 111.8 on the scale! i know it is stress and not eating enough, but i really need to do something different to maintain. i want to be healthy.
anyways, there's an update on me. if you are reading this and haven't updated on yourself lately, take a minute and update your junebug friends that just might be thinking about ya!
hugs~mary jo
