Good Wednesday Morning from Baltimore (or thereabouts)

Good Morning Everybody! I haven't been posting lately because, frankly, I've been busy, busy, busy....last week we had a surprise visit from out of town family. That was fun. We were in DC last Monday for all that wonderful rain. This past weekend, I made an unplanned getaway to my favorite Florida Destination - Siesta Key. Was a fun trip, especially the private jet that spcial friends of mine hired to take us there...WOW, I felt like I was in an episode of lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. All in all, everything is going well. Sort of a WOW moment for me this weekend. After getting to FL, I had to go shopping for a swimsuit. Now I know you all know what a fun chore this was prior to WLS. So I'm going through stores trying to find something that looks presentable. I'm happy to report that I got a size 16 misses swimsuit...yippee for me! I don't ever remember wearing a Size 16, although it shouldn't surprise me because I've been wearing a Misses 16 jeans and some shirts. After losing 7lbs last month, I seem to be in a holding pattern again. That's okay, even if I don't lose another pound I am thrilled with the results of WLS. I've got 41lbs to go before I'll have a normal BMI. I'm not sure how much PS will take care of, but I figure I'm not going to stress out over this. I'm just going to continue to do what I've been doing....water, protein and supplements. Exercise...I'll be honest, I need to be more disciplined about it. So how is everybody else doing? Did everyone have a good holiday weekend? Do anything special/different? I'm looking forward to our get together on August 6th at Arundel Mills Mall. Did we decide a time yet? How about meeting at Noon or 1:00 at a restaurant in the mall? Take Care, Terry

Good morning Terry! Sounds like you have been having a blast!!!! I was t hinking just the other day (while watching Y & R at lunch) about how cool it would be to go somewhere in a private jet and not have to fuss with all that airline stuff. I'm looking forward to Aug 6 also. I forgot about it temporarily and made plans for Sat night Aug 5 in NJ. I've told my NJ friends that I might have to bail on them because I already had plans in MD on the 6th. Will play that by ear as it gets closer though. I was at Arundel Mills yesterday and spent a little bit of time thinking of where we could/would meet but didn't really come up with a plan. There's a new place (I think) that looked interesting but I didn't check out the menu. Noon or 1:00 sounds pretty good to me though. Talk to you soon. Hugs, Mo

Hey girl - I've been bad about emailing/calling, but sometimes, it's easier to make one general post! You MUST email me privately about Siesta Key - a private jet?!!! Were there any film stars involved? Do tell!! Yay on that bathing suit!!!!!! Me, too, same holding pattern - but like you, I'm so happy. I can't say that I'll be satisfied if I don't lose any more weight, but I can pretty much do everything that I couldn't -134 pounds ago. Rides, pool ladders, booths, etc. Pretty awesome feeling, isn't it? Yep, 12 on the 6th sounds good. If it's okay with you, I'll meet you at your house so I can say hi to Mom!!! Let me know! Love ya, Tia

Hi Terry. I am glad that you had such a great weekend. I just love those little wow moments. I am looking forward to getting into the teens myself. Just wondering, the get-to-gether at Arundel Mills, is anyone invited? I would love to attend that with you. I didn't get to attend a gathering in June I believe because I was out of town. I am looking forward to meeting others in MD, especially since I feel we are still new to the area. let me know. my personal email is [email protected] Enjoy all of your WOW moments! Robin

Robin - Hi! Thought I'd hijack Terry's thread; since we're friends, I know she won't mind! Yes, of course, all are invited on 8/6. Our get-together in June was small but fun, and I hope you can join us. Backing away now....letting Terry have the stage....! Take care, Teresa

great, y'all are funny. Just let me know when and where, I'll be there. Robin

Step away from the keyboard Tia....hehe Robin, I'll echo what Teresa said...Anybody/Everybody is invited.

Hi, Reading your profile sure was encouraging to me! Congrats on your swimsuit! That must be a phenominal feeling. I am looking forward to it. I would love to join you on August 6th at Arundel Mills but have trouble walking. Do you know if they have motorized carts or anything to help me get around? Thanks, Julie

Hi Julie, We'd love to have you join us! I can try to find out about the motorized carts. I'll check and let you know Take Care, Terry
