Topic: Adding a new person
Would anyone be opposed to adding someone from outside our class? My friend went through the options classes at Kaiser and had RYN a few months ago.

Her class did not do an OH group. I think she would be a good source of information for all you RNY'ers on here. She is a kind and respectful person.

Let me know...thanks,

Becca

hi Becca......sorry I didn't write...those grandkids(puppies) were a lot of work. They left this afternoon so I got a nap and then some practising in at my church organ. Now, I'm starting to clean up after them...but...they are so adorable and very much worth it!!!! I am retiring to a small farm and am not sure how that will go. I'm building a small house on my kids' property so we will share the farm duties. I am not sure if I need anymore trips to Europe, but I'd love to go to Japan. I know that you live in Escondido...my t-bird would LOVE the chance for a drive.....want to wait until you get home from surgery or????

Thanks for the info on the Craigs list stuff.....I have seen so many of the same posts over and over so I guess that is how they are trying to do the weeding. I'm gonna try it though. You were smart to not get involved with that one person....sounds like a scammer for sure. 6 Days???????Are you getting everything ready?:)D

Yeah, the body fortress brand was quite reasonable, I want to say $15-$18 range. I really like it too.

I'll be heading out of the area this weekend too, just a short trip but gonna have some fun.

YAY for Sara and her surgery date.

Edit: Stupid double posts!

Two pounds is great, but it's even more impressive is that you fought the urge to smoke..and WON! That is an incredible feat and you should be sooo proud of yourself! Anyone who is a current or former smoker, knows how hard that was for you...especially with all the crap you have going on!

 I smoked from the time I was 15 until I was 26. I smoked throughout all three of my pregnancies (please nobody  judge me, we've all made mistakes) and It was by far the HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD TO QUIT! EVER!!! Congrats to you for finally kicking the habit.

Last Friday I weighed 260, last Monday I weighed 268 (YIKES) and this Friday I weigh 258. Weekends are so dam hard for me. If weekends and fun were never created, I would probably be 130 pounds right now. I'm so busy during the week, my mind is occupied. I let loose on the weekends and my weight pays for it.

Thanks for the sample Sian! I tried the strawberry and it was pretty good! I haven't tried the chocolate yet. Was the fortress one (strawberry) pretty cheap? I think you wrote you got it from WalMart (that makes me think inexpensive). The strawberry would be really good in a fresh strawberry smoothie...yummm.

P.S. Congrats to Sara

Have a great weekend everyone...I will be sweating my ass off in Temecula at a soccer tournament all weekend...lucky me

I did it, I did it.....I remembered!!!!

After a pretty crappy weekend last week, calling it quits with the beau, and moving all my stuff into the guest room, I'm surprise that I still lost 2 lbs this week. I'll admit, I drank a few beers, and had a few lunches with the girls at work while still trying to keep up with my protein shake only consumption.

The biggest hurdle I had was wanting to have a cigarette again. But I fought it and didn't do it, it wasn't worth all the work I did to quit to just throw it all out the window (and especially not this close to surgery). So no ciggies for this girl, I'm still smoke free!

I did some sample swaps with Becca with our different protein powder stuff and I'm gonna try the Unjury chicken soup tonight. Hopefully I like it and can use it right after surgery!

Lator Gatorz!

Glad you had a great vacation... After you retire you will have more time to travel!

I would love if you could come tell me what my pianos worth, but I live kinda far from you (I'm in Escondido).

It is truly the one thing from my childhood that I have taken care of...everything else had been stored in sheds or garages and moved so many times,  they've broken. It's not something that I have to sell ASAP, so I'm ignoring the Craig's listers that try and low ball for things.

I did sell my boat! That got tons of responses! I did list that really low, because I HAD TO sell it. I needed money bad.

I think they changed the way Craig's list works. The day after you post something, it's already 5 pages back! I had sold bunches of things last January and had tons of interest in all the odds and ends I posted. I had at least 2-3 emails for each item from people interested. This time around I got 2 on the piano (one was a scam...send them all my info and they will send me a check...the funniest part was, they said I could only communicate with them by email because they were deaf and had to use a special phone. So why buy a musical instrument?) The boat only got calls and emails on the day it was posted. Then nothing for three days. So, I cheated and posted it again with a different description ( I had to change the description, because Craig's list won't let you add the same item multiple time...so I had to trick it. ) and as soon as I reposted, the phone started ringing. If you have time on your hands, and patience you can make good money on Craig's List.

Have fun with the pups. Before you know it they are big dogs :)

Becca 

P.S. If you refer anyone and they buy the piano, I'll give you $50 bucks!!!

hi Becca....I love South Dakota and have some of the funniest cousins ever!!!So, it was great. I love to travel and am ok with sleeping just about anywhere and living out of a suitcase.....not forever, but adventures are lots of phun. I saw a lot of buffalo and walked quite a bit on the trails.
 
I had a feeling that the dr appts are designed the way that they are so that they CAN run late...oh my, part of the hoops that we have to go through. I know how you feel about the nervousness, I have it even now but am still quite certain that this method is the only way that I can try and conquer my eating problems.

I looked at the piano, do you want me to come out and play it and tell you more about what I think? I do this often for friends.....did you know that playing piano/organ is what I do for a living?

I  am retiring next June so have been getting my house ready to sell.....I'm thinking about listing a lot of things on Craigslist...plants, small antiques, patio furniture. How has it gone for you? Have you sold your things yet?

My grandkids are coming over for 2 days at noon...they are 1 and 4. My son calls them puppies and says they are a full-time job...oh my. Well, they are adorable and are worth it.....hugz:)D
