Hello my fellow staplers!!!

WOW!!!! What a month!! Over the last few weeks I traveled over 7,000 miles!!!

New York, Connecticut, back to San Diego then to Idaho and back. Only to return to work with an unimaginable work load.

I wont bore you with details, but....whew!!! I am tired!!

Any way, how have you all been??? I have been trying to read a few posts to update myself. People having PS and others surviving blood clots!!! I feel so out of the loop!!!

How was the picnic??? Did you all have fun?? I'll search for photos!!

So, when is the next gathering? I would love to see everyone???

I had a wonderful time on my travels. Even the business part!! People who hadn't seen me for a year where floored!! "Yeah, I lost some weight." was my canned response after they picked them selves off the floor. Did not feel the need to say how, if they asked I would say a combination of things. Which is true.

Well, I hope to post some photos from N.Y. and Idaho, but I need my computer son to help me. I'll post as soon as we can get together.

Glad to be home!! Love ya all!!

Just this morning on my way into work I asked myself where you have been. I was going to send out "calling all cars, calling all cars!"

Glad to hear that you are safe and at home. I can't wait for the pictures.

Bridget put some dates out there for upcoming events! Check it out. Hope to see you soon.

Ahh Bridg, you ask so many questions.

O.K. the best was how many people said how "sexy", I looked. As a mother of 3 and over 40, these comments were realy fun and well recieved. No back handed comments....to my face any way!!! Once in a while, some one would comment on some one elses weight loss, and refer to it as " on their own"...I guess as opposed to WLS. No sweat!!! I love the way I feel and am happy for any one who finds any answer to the issue of weight!!

I hope to go to a function soon!!

Thanks all for your replies and for missing me!!

Pam you are getting so tiny, and Kim, thanks for the APB...almost!!!

Rain! Hey!

Good to hear from you, and wow look at you girl~ Love the profile picture. You are looking geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeorgous!! What was the big trip for? Vaca? or work?

Looks like as usual we are still neck in neck on the weight~ I think we must have the same metabolism. I kinda stuck at 199 for the longest time, and then finally it started going down.

Have you lost any hair? Mine is coming out in handfuls, it's really gross. I thought I was going to get around that lovely little detail, but nooooooooooo!
LOL

Can't wait to see more pics of you~

When's the next meeting? I finally got a new car! So it won't be such a drag coming down. In fact I got two! LOL One for me and one for my daughter~

Can't wait to see you some day soon, I hope!

Hi Carol,

Good to hear from you also. I went to New York for fun, cause I had business in Danbury, Connecticut...an hour away from the city...N.Y.. I go every year for work and can't pass up Manhattan. Love that darn town!!!Then came home to gather the family and went to Idaho to see hubbys mom, sister and brother and their families.

I am waiting till Sunday when my son has a day off to post pics from the trip and such!!.

Good to hear from you all!!

P.S. yes my hair has had quite alot of departure. Those hairs have been on a fast plane to nowhereville!!! I find taking BIOTIN, 2 or 3 times a day, helps a bit. The hand fulls are a little less, but it still falls out. It is gross and yet I find as long as I do not get patches, I can deal. I am going today to my hair dresser and she helps with color and styling so I look normal. The Biotin is a member of the B family and it also helps your nails.

Can wait to see the pictures. I am sure you just looked fabulous
