I'm so excited that I can't contain myself!!! I'm about to do something I've never done before!
I'm going to Vegas, Baby!!! I have never been there before! My sister and I are going on Labor Day weekend. Being overweight was not the only reason I haven't gone before, but it definitely was one of the reasons when considering travellling by plane.
So...tell me everything I need to know about Vegas!!!

Topic: Somebody post something. We're slowing down.
Just noticed posts are slowing down. How's everybody doing? I just moved my daughter into her dorm room at Western Illinois University. OMG! What a work out! It's hard being a single mom moving a "drama queen" daughter into 11th floor of a dorm. Thank God, we were first in. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't lost all this weight. It would of been almost impossible to rearrange all the stack-able oak furniture in her room at least 5x. (I lost 5 lbs. doing it!) LOL
I have not weighed 177 lbs. since 1985. Wow. Hard to wrap my brain around, but enjoyable.

You might want to try using this shampoo and conditioner called nioxin. It's pretty pricey (~$15 a bottle) but after using it my hair now falls out way less than it ever did before surgery even.
Topic: RE: Upset with myself!
Thanks guys, I made up my mind I am going to start walking again even if it is only 2-3 times a week right now that is better than none. And I am not buying any more junk if it isn't here I will not eat instead I will buy fruits and veggies to fill that hole. I love apples so that will start being my sweet treat again.

Topic: RE: Upset with myself!
First i want to send you a big hug. You are going through a lot right now. Change is hard. You said you moved back home, are there any old friends you can get reacquainted with? We all seem to be at that stage with the food and the fluctuating weight. My nutritionist suggested that I start keeping a food journal again. Also I was thinking, why not hook up the wii, the in-laws might love it! Anyway, just wanted to say you are supported and loved here. Keep us informed.
