WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY POSTED REALLY EARLY THU

Got a call while ago from Melissa , she and Janet and Susan are all there and having a good time. Lol. They wanted to know if I could bring any wood for the fire pit for Saturday night. Joe and I will go out in the morning and cut up some dead trees on one of our friends piece of land. I don’t think he will mind. So if anyone else has any they might bring it too since we might burn it late into the night , who knows.

 

Wow problems are happening with people not getting to come. Sorry about that guys. You think the Devil is working overtime to keep you all away? Really sorry about it. Wish I could do something.

 

Took Joe to the pain clinic doctor today and we ask him about the RFA or nerve ablation . He said he would have to run some test to see if he was a candidate for it. Would maybe do some blockage to see if there was results and if so would go ahead and do the RFA. So he went down and did a MRI this afternoon and on the 26^th at 8am he is to have a nerve test to see what that shows. I have to work that day but his test is at 8am so we should be back home by then. I hope any way lol

 

Did anyone watch the show about Biggest Loser last night. Was some of the people that had been on before to see if they had kept the weight off. Marty from Mo from last year proposed to Amy from last year. Was sweet.

The new show starts next Tuesday. .

 

 

BOBBY JO: yeah I can believe  you are excited about do ing the liquid diet. It just means that you are closer and closer to your surgery date.  Sure wish you could have come down to the reunion with us but maybe next year.

We will all be posting pictures im sure. So be prepared…

 

Wow did you say 7 kids???? 7?? Really ?

 

 

MELISSA: Joe and I will go see what sort of wood we can come up with in the morning before coming over. It is only about an hour and half drive from here to there so we will see what we can get .

Don’t know why im answering her on here she is in Branson lol 

You all sounded like  you were having fun already tonight.

Didn’t you know you were suppose to wait for us. ????

 

 

BARBARA cant wait to see you again. it has been awhile that is for sure. If you use wood ,,,,,oh well no that might be asking too much lol

 

 

VESTA:: Hope your trip to Fla turns out to be lots of fun but be aware of the hurricanes down there. When you get back you will have to show us your pictures and we will show your ours. Lol

LANA: SEE YOU SATURDAY MORNING…. Do you want coffee when you get here?

 

 

BEV: Sure wish you could be with us this week end but enjoy your water aerobics and rest up with your week end off.

Let me know how you like the protein balls with the rice krispies. Ok? That sounds pretty good.

You have fun this week end. And plan on being with us next year. Start putting money aside now to pay for someone to come and take care of your babies while you are gone. Ok?

 

We are  hoping that next year we will have more and more that will come to the gathering.

 

 

COLETTE: Thanks again, and I now turn this over to you for Saturday and Sundays….

Have fun. If Barbaras laptop will work we will all say hi to you. Ok?

Everyone be nice to Colette. She is a sweetie to donate her time for this.

 

 

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

I'm not sure if many of you remember me or not. I got on about 14 months ago, tried to get approval for gastric bipass but found out the insurance where my husband worked didn't cover weightloss sugery of any kind. Well, I kinda got depressed, and stopped posting here, though I did get on occasionally to check out the progress of a few members. But it was hard coming here as much and hearing happy stories and knowing you could never include your own. Well that's changed for me. I still can't get surgery, even if our insurance covered it because I don't weigh enough anymore :)  It's funny how I started losing weight. I have horses, Paso Finos, and I used to board on a pasture. That was fine and good but I didn't have to DO anything except pay my rent. I rarely rode or did anything mostly because of my weight, I weighed around 265. Last January I was told I had to move my horses as the property I was renting was going up for sale. I chose a nice stable in the area, but the thing is I had to be more pro-active in my horse care. I had to feed them and clean their stalls every day. That got me back into the swing of horse ownership, and slowly but surly I became more active with my horses, riding more and more till I was riding daily, and spending more time with them, eventually I added a 3rd horse (I know, I'm nuts) Anyway what I noticed by around April is that my jeans were getting looser. I weighed myself and had lost 20 pounds without even knowing it. I then decided to start back on weigh****chers, counting points not going to meetings, I have no time for that. And I've lost another 50 pounds. So I'm now in one-derland, which I never thought I'd ever be again. My customers are noticing my weight loss, my horses appriciate me more, and no longer give me dirty looks :) And I'm proud and happy with myself again. Anyway just thought I'd update those that remember me.

Hey i remember you . I know i ask you once what sort of horse was a Paso Fino didnt I? I am so happy for you that your horses saved you in more ways than one. Great !!! That is so fantastic that you have lost so well an did it by bein more active. I am very proud of you. Keep posting on here all you want to. You are a life of encouragement.   Shows what changing your level of  exercise can do.  Jan

Congrats to you    Please keep posting, what an inspiration you will be to the ones who are having trouble or like you, insurance won't pay. It will give them such a lift to know they still have a way out. Keep up the good work!

Bobbie,    Just had to respond to your note.  I had 6 kids and understand how much fun children are.  You will be so happy after the surgery and a whole new world will open up.  Be prepared for the ride of your life.  and the comments from your children.  Colette
