Wow, lucky you! Your mom is so nice. That must have been fun. My mom has already been warned that I will be by to "borrow" from her 2 huge closets of clothes someday, too.

Default Yes Yes Yes

I am finally OBESE!!!! This seemed so far away when I started this journey. I thought it was going to take much longer to get where I am today. I had been MO for so long, I was used to it. When I calculated me BMI I got such a big smile... I am getting closer and closer to a goal weight daily.. I AM LOVING IT!

Congratulations!! Way to go!!

I am so anxious to have my surgery and feel thin. I want my new way of life to begin today! I'm hoping for a cancellation that I can jump into soon. The doctor's office said they will call me if they have one.

Can someone tell me what all the different clubs are, please? Onederland? Centuryclub? Any others also. Is the century club when you reach 100 pounds off?

This web site is the greatest. It's super to be able to see what other people have gone through and what they have accomplished. You are all doing so great. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Emily! Your time will soon come. I know how you feel though... I was in your shoes not so long ago. I was so envious of those who had their surgery and was on their way to a healthy life... Your time will come! Sooner than you think!

I have asked the same questions myself. Lynda has helped me out a lot!

Onederland when you get under 200
Century is when you lose 100 pounds!

Not sure what the others are... Maybe the others can help!

How did you get the weight loss ticker to show up on your signature. Everytime I try to put mine there it just comes up as the code. I know there is something I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for all the info.

I right click on it and save it as a pic in a folder. Then I upload it under my account. Do not copy and pase the code. It doesnt work.

Default Billy Joel!

Last night Vince and I went to see Billy Joel. He got me the tickets for my birthday. OMG he was so awesome and out on a wonderful show! He is a very good looking older man too! We did not take any pictures, but I wanted to share our evening. If Billy comes to your town, I totally recommend seeing him!! He even sang my favorite song... Scenes from an Italian Restaurant! I am still on the "Billy High"!
