Hello Lorraine! I love new computers! I have 2 computers, thank Goodness, because my husband's crashed and now he is on one of mine all the time. My oldest daughter's baby was back and forth in the hospital but now she is doing well. My second daughter is moving out next weekend and it is going to seem strange without her and Livy, my 15 month old grandbaby. I am trying not to be sad. Worst of all, there is a company trying to buy up all the houses on our street. I have lived here since I was married and planned to stay here until my husband retired in 8 years. The company is offering very little money for our house and we will not be able to afford to buy a house that is comparable to ours. One of our neighbors called the local news because they offered him little money also, and they came out and did a story on us, talking about the unfair prices. To top it off, the city called us a BLIGHTED area, just because we have septic tanks here! It all makes me feel insecure. I haven't lost weight in a long long time. I still work out 5 days a week. I am hoping with the nicer weather things will pick up. Take care!

Topic: RE: I AM BACK THANK

Hey Girl!! It's good to see you again. May I ask why your daughter moved out? Mine walked for the first time without a walker. Five whole steps!! I am so happy for her. My weight is the same, between 191-194. For about 8 months now. I guess it's the end of the loss for me. But I am healthy and fit, for the most part. How's the love life? Is it moving forward with your new love? Nona

Hi to all my friends

I miss all you guys.

to all of you. Here is the story... My daughter moved out and took her computer. I had to buy a new one and straighten out my account. I could not log on. I hope to find all of you guys doing well. Diane, I missed those angel posts of yours. I have lost a total of 115pds. I now weighing 133-135 pds. Up and down but not coming under 130. I started at 245 lbs and I am thankful to be healthy and feeling well. Eating is much better for me. Digesting meat is something I can do now. Those crunchies unfortunately go down well. That part of staying away from them is hard. Let me know how you guys are also with your weight loss and please post and say HI

' I MISS YOU GUYS" Take care................. Lorraine

to all

Topic: RE: Diet Pills

I'd love some info on that, too. My weight is the same for nearly a year and I know it's because I eat too much and don't exercise enough. ON a side point, my daughter walked her first steps without a walker on Friday. AND, she bent over and stood up without falling. I cried so hard with joy to see my 'baby' walking. (she's 29 and has SLE). We're hopeful that within 6 months, if she has no more setbacks, that she'll be able to walk around the house without a walker. Isn't that wonderful news? Just wanted to share that with everyone. Nona

Topic: Diet Pills

I was just woundering if any one has considered taking diet pills to help lose those last pounds?? I used to take a diet pill called phendimetrazine. I was thinking of taken them to help me out, I seem to have hit a plateau.. But I am concerned if this pill or any pill is safe to take?? I know I need to step up my daily excersize a bit but it was just a thought

Hi Nona. I've been so busy lately that I come on occassionally to read but very rarely to post. Glad to hear that you are holding steady at your weight. When the spring weather finally hits maybe you can fit some walking in to your busy schedule. You have so much to juggle and it sounds like you are doing an amazing job - imagine doing it all with an extra 100 pounds on you! I know your daughter needs you and you want to be there 24/7 but you absolutely need to take an hour or two out for yourself. She would completely understand and would want that for you. Use that hour to unwind, walk, get int some exercise, relax, etc. Do something special for yourself as well - get a manicure or pedicure or facial. I am 2 weeks post-op from my LBL and down to 135 lbs (at 5'7" I have finally reached my goal!!). I have a flat tummy, flat butt and small hips - it's amazing. My thighs are still big and I am scheduled for a thigh lift in July. Recovery is going very well - no pain except for the drains. Well, please take care of yourself. If you are not good to yourself you are going to be no good to anyone else. Kim

Hi Wendy...Kimberly here again

My HMO will not touch reconstructive surgery so I am self pay. My lift with silicone implants is $9300. My LBL (3-22) was $10,989. Soooo much that I could have done with that kind of $$$$$, but this really is for ME. I hope you have a great insurance that will cover your lift

Hugs, Kimberly

Topic: RE: bras sizes :shrug:

You are not alone. I went to Victoria secret last week and got measured for a good fitting bra. Well I need a 40C (more like B and a half) and they only have up to 38 in the store. So I tried a bunch on and found one 38D that was decent, but at $40 bucks I didn't buy it. I heard that sports bras might work so I am going to try that soon.

Good Morning Wendy

Thanks for the giggle this morning. I too am in the same boat. I am scheduled for a breast lift w/implants on 6-1 and can not wait. Until then I have given up on finding a bra to fit right. A 34C if full and overflowing at the bottom of the cup, but empty at the top
