It wouldn't surprise me a bit if your scales are right.  I would lose 2 - 21/2 lbs. a day after surgery and that went on for months!  I'm telling you, you'll be amazed at how fast it slides off if you watch your intake and keep moving.  As far as the ticker, after you get it made, just right click on the ticker itself and copy/paste it here to where you set it up.  Congratulations again.

Thanks!

Yea, you are DEFINATELY overdue for a new suit!

The remodeling is going well.  We are even throwing in some landscaping, etc.  Lowes has seen a LOT of us lately - more than Wal-Mart even!  LOL

We got 2 new trees & 10 or 11 new shrubs.  Those went in the ground this weekend after we got them.

Before that, we special ordered our new fridge to replace our last fridge that had the door that annoyed me.  It came in early, so we went & got it Friday.  We have in unpacked & installed, etc.  Our OLD fridge is still in the kitchen though, just pushed across to the other side and still plugged in, etc.  I've got to move it out to the garage where it will serve as a holding fridge for bottled water, etc for my dad's workers, etc. 

We bought our new range hood (our new range was already bought & installed a few months back - this is just something we never got around to doing when we bought it).  We bought everything to install it, etc.  We just have to get the time to actually DO it. 

We bought our new toilet and it is still in the box in our living room.  (I know... things are packed in everywhere.  Remodeling is NOT fun in some ways.)  We are not replacing it until they redo the flooring in the house. 

Speaking of flooring, the floor installer was here about 5 today doing the measurements for our entire home (carpet & vinyl since we're getting the entire floor replaced throughout our entire house).  This is one of the things I am MOST excited about.  (That's good because it's one of the things that is going to cost the most as far as single purchases go - running about $4500 - $5000.  But it will be worth it.)  We're getting a beautiful long-lasting (as in probably forever) vinyl for our bathrooms, utility room & kitchen.  We picked out one that we're going to use for all the rooms - it's so warm and pretty.  We also picked out just one carpet to go in every carpeted room.  It's a warm patterned berber.  I'll take pictures.  I wish I lived close enough for y'all to see it when it was done.  (Not now.  LOL!  I'd be ashamed for anyone to see the shambles this place is in now.  I was even embarassed for the floor guy to see it.  I mean, who has a boxed up toilet in their living room?  I DO!) 

We've already purchased our new light fixtures for the kid's bedrooms and the hallway.  We have NOT chosen new lighting for anywhere else though, so we've got to get on that.

We've already purchased and installed new overhead fans for both bathrooms, including new covers. 

We have picked out but not purchased our new cabinets for our half bath. 

We have NOT picked out any of the new faucets for either the bathrooms or the kitchen.  So we have to get on that.

We have not measured our countertops for the full bath or the kitchen yet.  Since we're custom ordering our countertops (so we can get the sinks built in as a solid surface), we have REALLY got to get on that.  That's going to cost a lot too.  I'll cringe writing that check as I'm sure it will be almost as bad as the flooring.

I have already picked out the matching dryer to go with my washer.  (I've already bought & installed the washer a few months ago when my old one went out.  I still have to get the matching dryer though.)  I'm waiting on that until the floor gets done and we're moving them anyway. 

I went on eBay a month or two ago and bought a 20-coupon-lot of 10% off coupons at Lowes for about $16 - which I made up for with  my first remodel purchase (the fridge). 

So overall, the remodel is going good.  No major setbacks yet.  Nothing costing any more or less than we expected.  Like I've told ya, we're going to keep going until the money's gone.  At this rate, that won't take long. 

I forgot to add - OF COURSE I WILL BE AT SUPPORT GROUP.  I am even bringing a few clothes & shoes!!!

Great job, my dear. I'd expect no less from you than your wonderful humor!!!

I'd love to see you video tape it and send it on to our docs. They already know we're nuts, but this would confirm it.

Could you do me a teeeeeeeeeeeensy favor??  Would you copy/paste this to a new thread so it will start at the top of the page??  I'm afraid folks won't see it now that it's farther down the page.

Love ya Doll!!

Thank you Sybul.  It is nice to have any suggestions.   I will give your suggestions a try and if I still have trouble I will call Wendy or Anne.  I believe if my home scale is correct, I have lost 20.5 lbs since June 25--but it may be wrong. I will only post my loss with what Dr. Roller's scales show.  Thank you again.

I am going to work on my ticker -like yours-that is neat!

So glad!

Mom's are like that, aren't they?
