Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Hi Aly, I am so sorry to hear about s troubles.It must be awful for her to be going through this. My Dr did tell me there was a risk of perferation of the stomach but as you had never actual spoken to anyone who had this happen .Please send her my love and wish her well. On the " GOOD " side of things .Well done on your loss.The trouble with weighing all the time is that those little 0.8 seem to pop up every now and then and your quite right when you talk of hormones. Anyway keep up the good work. KIM ps:I think it is important that things like what has hapened with heather IS posted.Even those new to the list need to be aware of what can happen both good and bad.So I thank you and for sharing such a difficult time for her.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 1999 Report Share Posted February 18, 1999 The band is a soft, pliable object with absolutely no sharp edges whatsoever; how could one perforate one's stomach with such an object???

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Thanks Steve, I have looked at your web page quite a bit and am going to keep that in mind. I figured for now, while we are all getting used to it, to have it on the headband. The Dr. mentioned something about a " huggie " ...not quite sure what exactly that is, I've only found a couple of websites on it and they didn't really explain things that well. When we get it I'll take a picture to post...unless I have my website updated by then and I'll just put it on there.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi Georgie, was born February 5th. At his 3-month checkup he was 18 pounds and had grown 6 inches since birth. We go Thursday for his 4-month and I'm anxious to see what he weighs...I'm hoping he slows down soon! We live in NW Ohio, about an hour from Windsor, Canada. I'd love to see a picture of your son!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Ok I can call back the national gaurd, I was really begining to worry about you. Sorry you all have been sick. Glad to hear you are right beside me in getting my rear in gear. Take it easy and be well. Zephyr Update on Hello all!!! I suppose you all thought I'd dropped off the face of the earth. Well, I have managed to climb back most of the way! LOL Sorry I've been AWOL for a while but somebody in my family has had the crud/bronchitis for the past week. The past few days, I have been down with it so I haven't had the energy to do much of anything but cough. OK, enough whining, already! I just wanted to pop in and say " Welcome " to all the newbies, " WooHoo " to all the losers, I'm hanging in there with you to those of you struggling,and a BIG " Praise the Lord " that they caught the Beltway Sniper(s)!! I have been OP for the past two days (most of my points have been in the form of juice) but I have decided to be serious and work the program the way it is supposed to be worked. I don't feel much like exercising, but I do have a plan for when I feel better (hopefully the next day or so!). I have also decided to start attending the meetings again and go on Tuesday mornings when they have a really great leader. I know, I'm supposed to be at work then, but I will say I have an appointment on Tuesday mornings and go in late. What are they going to do....fire me....again??! (FYI- our plant is being closed on 11/27/02) I have really missed you guys! Well, it's almost bedtime and I really need some extra rest so I'll check in tomorrow!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Hey !! Sorry to hear you have had the crud!!! I can definately relate to that yucky stuff, we seem to get it a lot here. Glad that you are starting to feel better!! YEAH for you for rejoining and committing to work the program!!!! That is fantastic!!! LOL about going on Tuesday mornings and them firinng you....wouldn't happen even if they weren't closing at the end of November. I am going to the gym and the jazzercize class this morning, first time in two weeks. I just haven't had the time with all the classes I have taken and didn't really feel like it with all the stress stuff going on. Robin told me yesterday that I really need to go back, since I really enjoyed it. So, I am going to pay for some more time...probablly still by the month. Oh, Robin is talking about trying to get the foundation concrete for the exercise room done in the next couple of weeks...we will see. I hope so! It really will make things easier. Take care!!

Well, I have managed to climb back most of the way! LOL Sorry I've been AWOL for a while but somebody in my family has had the crud/bronchitis for the past week. The past few days, I have been down with it so I haven't had the energy to do much of anything but cough. OK, enough whining, already! I just wanted to pop in and say " Welcome " to all the newbies, " WooHoo " to all the losers, I'm hanging in there with you to those of you struggling,and a BIG " Praise the Lord " that they caught the Beltway Sniper(s)!! I have been OP for the past two days (most of my points have been in the form of juice) but I have decided to be serious and work the program the way it is supposed to be worked. I don't feel much like exercising, but I do have a plan for when I feel better (hopefully the next day or so!). I have also decided to start attending the meetings again and go on Tuesday mornings when they have a really great leader. I know, I'm supposed to be at work then, but I will say I have an appointment on Tuesday mornings and go in late. What are they going to do....fire me....again??! (FYI- our plant is being closed on 11/27/02) I have really missed you guys! Well, it's almost bedtime and I really need some extra rest so I'll check in tomorrow!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks !!! I did go to Jazzercise this morning and the instructor said she was going to give me a call this week if I didn't show up. I explained that I had to go to the classes and then life got in the way, and she agreed that does happen but said we have to make time for ourselves! I plan on going tomorrow to the gym and then jazzercise again on Friday. Hopefully, I will be able to keep going this time! I would definately take advantage of the trial offers and the university gym! I think you will find that you really enjoy it once you start! Thanks for being here!!!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks, Caren! Do you know what it was that made me decide to go back to WW meetings? A dentist's appointment! Normally, I am in and out for a cleaning and exam in no more than 30 minutes. Well, last week, the cleaning alone took 45 minutes. Now, I have not changed my oral health routines and the hygenist asked if I had changed my diet.....duh...been doing a lot of stress eating and what do I crave when I'm stressing?? Sweets and starches! Wake-up call! I need to get motivated so that I can wear those 5 pairs of jeans hanging in my closet that haven't seen daylight in monthes! So I decided that I just need the extra boost of meetings combined with this group and my renewed subscription to WW magazine. So, like you, I'm taking this one OP day at a time! We can do this....together! > Sorry you are not feeling well - but either way- Welcome back! It > is great to see you posting ! I have been offline more than I usually > am too- just busy. Good luck with staying OP- I think all of us need > a little luck right now- seems there are quite a few of us > struggling ...have a good one- get some rest! BTW... BRAVO on getting > back to WW meetings! I know they do help give me a little extra > boost! I miss going every week, but I still go at least once a month- > or every two weeks now, since holiday time is upon us:) > Caren > ><(((*> > > > > > > Update on > > > > > > > > > Hello all!!!
