I hope the vitamin D fixes things for you. I'm sorry you have to deal with the loss of your precious Mariam, I will pray for you during this difficult time of the year.

We should form a support group-A) it would be much cheaper than going to weight watchers and B)we could exercise together.

let me know!

Congratulations on the success of your picnic, I'm so happy that it went over well!

That's a beautiful bag! I've been bugging my mom to teach me how to sew, even if it's just the basics I'd love to have some skills using the machine. I think those would sell very well & I love the colors you chose.

wow, the kids have gotten so big, especially your daughter! I love the dimples! :)

I'm so glad that this ordeal is over and done with for you guys. You deserve a break!

I, too, have a problem with soda. I can have maybe 6 cans a day, sometimes more, which is really bad!!! I think that, and lack of excercise, is why I've gained so much weight over the years. I eat more or less healthy otherwise, most of the time.

Good luck on your weight loss adventures!

Good luck to you! My highest weight was 286 and I was also a size 28. I am 5'8". I understand why you would rather have the lap band, but I would encourage you to think really hard about the gastric bypass. It has changed my life. I am 5 months out, and I have lost 75lb, which is on the low side of average. I now wear a size 18/20 easily and have some 16s I can fit in. With LapBand, the weight loss is much slower and you have to go in constantly for fills to get the band just right.

Good luck to you!

Good luck. remmeber its a daily thinking program.

Sending you tons of positive thoughts as you begin your weight loss journey. It's difficult, but YOU CAN DO IT!!

I'm so glad the levels came back normal. I can only imagine how frustrating the whole experience was for you. I also think it's great you are showing others what to be on the lookout for, great job!

I'm sorry, really sounds like my life. I'm glad to hear that you are going to get some time away. That always helps me...at least for a short time.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. I have no advice, but you do have my prayers. Also, giving in to everything will not prevent a meltdown. Believe me, I speak from experience. There will ALWAYS be something to meltdown about.

Hugs

omg, I'm so sorry that you have to suffer like this. :(

hey, L, It's me TBT! Nice to see your blog!! I'll be back to visit, I'm sure. :) Hope you'll pop by my blog too! :)

wow I didn't know you were considering the by pass surgery. I have a friend who is looking into as well and know several folks who've had it. Good Luck!

Hi Lisa!

I tried to donate but had a problem with the paypal account. Let me know if there's another way I can donate or when it is fixed.

Tiff

*hug* I'm so sorry. That has to be frustrating. Good Luck with your house hunt. Hopefully you'll find one soon.

Keep looking..the right house for you will come. I can't believe all the 2 bedroom homes in that area but I guess that's common for homes that age. Good Luck!

Lisa - I'm sorry. I *do* hope that you can get a support group going so that mothers have another opportunity for support. It doesn't seem as though there's any support going on at the hospital group and that is so sad.

Hey Lisa! We just purchased this statue last week too when it was 40% off at Hobby Lobby!!!! We loved that one and there were a few others that I fell in love with too.....We also got a large sized one of a baby laying in hands for our garden outside (the previous one will stay in the house). They had another one of a baby laying (surrounded) in angel wings.......that one was precious too!

They have sooooo many good ones!!! Each year they come out with different ones that are really good!
