Default Swinging in the arms of a man...

The other day, my hub got a hair up his you-know-where and decided to pick me up and throw me over his shoulder and run upstairs! Do you know how much it hurts to have my bony hips bouncing off his bony shoulder???? It scared the pooh out of me, as I'm scared of heights, and the last time (at 180) he tried to do that, he dropped me. Men and their caveman mentality.....

Default Hi!

Hi Dara..
I'm kind of like Casper.. I reappear once in awhile huh? Not much new here. For some reason the surgery has kind of taken a back burner and I haven't felt an overwhelming desire at the current moment to pursue it again. I'm not sure if I just got discouraged with the Insurance situations (as you may know I was denied by Cigna PPO after doing all of my pre-op workup stuff for not having a 6month medically supervised weight loss attempt in recent years). Although, I did change health plans to Pacificare HMO this year hoping that if I did decide to go thru with the surgery that I would have an easier chance of being approved. I still need to get my rear in gear and start on a 6 month medically supervised plan. Somedays I want to do it and somedays I am ok with the way I am. I know I would feel alot better if I did. Maybe I just need a swift kick. I guess i'll know when I'm ready. Thanks for checking up on me! :-)

Everyone is looking so great! I keep reading everyones exciting stories and looking at the pics. If I would have got going on this, I'd be right there behind you all! Darn it!! :-)

Melody,

I did get the gown already. The plans are coming along great!! I am getting so much help from so many wonderful people here. Lets see.. so far I have Tricia, Kim, and Sandi helping to make bridesmaids dresses. Dale, and Stacie helping with the set up (if I can remember correctly??) Rain is my wedding planner/designer. I am such a lucky girl to be surrounded by so many wonderful and talented people who are willing to give their time to help my wedding wonderful. Irela is also going to help me with invitations. WOW!!

We are making up our guest list now.. so all who would like to attend please do send your information as the invitations are being ordered this week or early next week and we have to make sure we have enough.. thanks again..

Girlfriend,

If you already did a six month diet with your previous health plan, you may not need to do one again for Pacificare? Just a thought .. do what is right for you though.

That sure was me a year ago. Time sure flies when you're losing weight.. and having fun though. I have many more flattering pictures like the first one.. One day I will actually get my before's and afters up here together.
