Topic: RE: What is Secret Pals?
We are right now in the middle of a round. Each round lasts three months. You send e-mails, e-cards and notes to your buddy for support and encouragement. Once a month you send a surprise gift to that person as well, about a $10 gift. You will have someone that does the same for you, not neccissarily the same person that you are sending to. For example, Jane sends to Mary, Mary sends to Sue, Sue sends to Chris and Chris sends to you. Renee and Rona are the coordinators. Nest round will start in October. Keep an eye on the Secret Pals message board for the updates.
And Welcome! Everyone here is really nice, suppoortive and full of encouragement. Don't feel that because you are not yet participating in pals that you can't post. Jump on in. The Daily Share and Care is a good place to start.

Hi All! Just got home from support group.
Today was an okay day. Started off with an allergic reaction to bug repellant. I've used this brand and strength before, no problems. the docotr think it may be beacuse my body chemistry is different. Any how, now I am on predisone. Just what I need to relieve the itcha nd swelling, but not what I need to help the weigh come off. Prednisone can actually make you gain and fast.
Gorgeous day weather wise. I couldn't spend any time outside because of the rash. That really sucked. But on a positive note - I did some major decluttering of my room. Had to be done. My room is actually two room and the smaller part was becoming a storage unit if you catch my drift. I tend to be one of those people that if I have a place to toss it I do. and then I promptly forget it. When I finally hit the bottom of the heap, I will likely have five or six hot glue guns!
Food wise I have done pretty good. Not perfect, but good. I went to Mc D's to get one of the grilled chicken wraps (to be eaten without the wrap), but apparently they had a refigeration issue and could not sell anything with grilled chicken or shredded lettuce. I had no time to go anywhere else so I bought a three piece chicken selects, ate one and a half of them. Didn't bother me a bit. Not good that I was able to eat the breading without a problem. I need to forget that I can do it or I'll be back there all the time. Right now I'm eating Greek yogurt with fresh from my yard blueberries. These are the first ones I've eaten. I guess I'll know soon how that goes.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day to start this all over again.
Love ya, Deb

My mom said that it took her 2 days to get her passport. So, if I can get the SS Card before I go on vacation the 17th, then I can file for my passport before I leave too! :-)

Topic: RE: Hip Replacement
I had a left hip replacement in june of 2000. I was in th hospital for 6 days and went straight home. I was also only 42 yrs old at the time. I really think that helped a lot. What I wanted to say is that it is a wonderful thing. I had some pain afterward but not as bad as I thought it would be. I healed quickly and was walking without any help by 5 wks out. No canes etc. There was some minor pain in the cold winter the first year. I guess the bone and the titanium were mending together. Anyway, it is wonderful. It has been 9 yrs and I feel great. I have no real limitations. Just the few odd things they said I can't do. I cannot go horse back riding. That sucks but I probably would do it anyway but just not run. I was just too heavy to worry about it before. now that I have lost 125lbs, I am thinking if it came up, I would give it a go. So, good luck to you.

Hello everyone! Hope all is well. Looks like it is gonna be a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh! Things are going well. Seems like I am not losing a pound, but I am trying my hardest not to weigh myself. I try to weigh every Tuesday. My 3 month check-up is next week, and I am nervous. I have not been exercising like I should, which I know doesn't help. It is hard to find time with the 3 kids and dealing with my mom's chemo. Thankfully, my husband comes home in 3 weeks, and I will FINALLY have an extra set of hands. I am also worried about him coming home. He is not used to my eating patterns, so I don't know how he will react. (for those who don't know, he has not seen me since before my surgery!) I am doing my best to eat right, but alot of times I forget to eat, which I can't believe, or find my options slim with the kids. I try to cook the same for us all because of the money issues involved with cooking two meals. I will get back on track. I can't complain. 70lbs in 11 weeks is unbelievable, and I know the weight loss is gonna slow down sooner or later. Well, thanks for letting me vent. Hope everyone's day is filled with laughter and happiness. I know I get ton's of laughter with my three kiddo's!
Lots of Love

Topic: RE: PLEASE!!!! Do NOT sign up for pals if you aren't gonna do your job!!!
Rona, thank you for posting this. I have had 2 drop out --- which is fine, because they told me and got out before they had to go MIA and I thank them for that and then I had to drop 1.
People just need to know that if they are dropped/drop out and don't send a gift, they will not be allowed back in the program. I am not trying to be cruel but it is not fair! I have been on the end of NEVER receiving a gift and it is NOT fun! Lucky for me, I have a super pal right now...one who contacts me often and the 1 I send to always responds. It really is a 2 way street!
So, before August gets rolling, if anyone needs to drop out, do it now. :-)
Phew!
Off my soap box now too...
