Jaenglish - I can see your sig really clear. Cute little guy.

Ok, uploading pic as attachment...let me know if you can see it!

Wow! What an accomplishment. Hope to be able to post my own b4 & after in a year.

Girl trust me, if you WANT to lose it, you will....biggest thing for me is always the beginning, when you're fat, hungry and miserable and the pounds seem to be sticking there...the pounds look good coming off yes, but what's 1lb lost when you have 50 to go??

But trust me, hang in there and the first time waistband feels loose, when people comment, that's when you start getting strong

JA Eng isn't that the truth, when your clothes are falling off of you and people complementing is the best! I can fit back into my skinny jeans I was wearing when I lost the 60 lbs again THANK GOD so it can only go uphill from here! My Mantra is "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels"

You are a great inspiration

I tried answering u but not sure if it went thru. my son is adjusting well since most of my family is here. how is your older son doing?

tenk yuh sis

glad to hear everyone doing well!

my oldest is doing really well, FINALLY settled down in school....

as for the weighing thing, I weigh myself EVERY day, that way if I see the pounds creeping back on, I can adjust my eating RIGHT then, rather than waiting until say once a week and seeing I've gained 3lbs...

Hey everyone.

I had another medical procedure yesterday, and I am in so much pain right now. I'm back to the point of not being able to lift my head up when I lay down. Last night, I thought I was going to suffocate in the pillow because I couldn't get up to use the restroom. I cried and screamed during the entire procedure even though they gave me pain meds in my IV to help ease it somewhat. I wanted to give up so bad yesterday, then I read KayCee's recent post. I'm not facing anything in comparison.

I was trying to catch up but can't remember what I read now. Sorry guys. Hope all is well today for everyone.

Hey Jawi,

I am sorry to hear you are not feeling better, but don't give up, we will keep praying for your full recovery.

Hey all -

Out of one meeting, into another soon! It was funny this am, though - our Chief Legal officer gave this whole speech about initiatives, and how the company was starting a mandatory fitness program, like the president's challenge they do in school, and that they were going to distribute brand shirts to all employees to wear to work so that we could relate with the company, etc.... our jaws were dropping - then she told us that she is a big believer in April Fools!

JAEng, you look incredible!!

Jawi, hope you feel better soon!

Sus - any insight?

I hope you feel much better Jawi

KK - I tend to stay out of posts like that on here - cause even when I have given the accurate info with direct links, there are some people who think they are attorneys on this site and that they are always right - I have no time for frustration now, lol - I already have enough of my own!

Reading through it, my thought is no - no written contract, a judge is probably going to look at it as if she's lucky she got what she did -

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

Sorry to hear Jawi

Things will improve, I feel it....

[dillon 6]

Tomorrow is your job interview right sus? Good Luck!

[sus 70]

Yes, it is - thanks Dillon!

It was funny, I walked into my office today and one of the attorneys came up and said "so I hear you are leaving us?" - then 3 other people said the same - I am starting to wonder if it's a done deal and the interview is a formality

Hello everyone....gotta catch up been away from a computer since page 266....and that was only yesterday DAMN YALL CAN CHAT!!! I have a frustrating JA story that I know most if not all can identify with.... I will tell it...then go and try and catch up on all the happenings......

Monday Michael woke to a toothache....nothing much so said he would go in on Friday to get it pulled or filled since that is his payday. I told him to take a couple "tablets" I brought down...he not being used to popping pills was hesitant but took them haneway...lol..... as the day went on his texts became more and more urgent and stressed...with the last of multiple ones stating ... I THINK I AM DYING......I think back now and laugh but then I wasn't sure what to do....ok, in my mind I just married a weak likkle man who can't handle a toothache or he really is DYING from an infected tooth that has gone wild in his head causing death....thus either way I am screwed with a weenie or I am a widow!!!!!!!according to him his head was on FYIA!!!! He called his sister who set up an appointment Tuesday morning at 8:30. Until then I had to keep trying to direct him on making sure to not let the 1000mg of over the counter pills wear off to keep taking them every 4 hours or so.....although in dire pain still wondering if I am killing him with these pills..... so I tell him a bit frustrated at his questioning my advise.....GO FIND A RASTA THEN WHO WILL TELL YOU WHAT PEICE OF BRANCH TO CHEW ON TO MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY!!!! his reply.....I aint no damn goat!!!!!

He makes it through the night....goes to the dentist and by 10 the dentist still hasn't showed up...but Michael has been given #9 as there were 8 people ahead of him.....I was like #######??? you have an appointment!!! He gets seen and sure enough the tooth is pulled. He sends a message when he gets all the way home saying the tooth is gone and the dentist told him to not take any tylenol for 24 hours but to go get some anbesol! ????#######???? oh...that was my text back to him..... So by this time it is too late for him to head back there and he is in no condition to do so anyway....but I told him NOT to waste $$ on anbesol but to be at the DR office this morning to get 2 prescriptions....a pain one and an antibiotic...and he did.....he was there this morning and saw the dr who said since he is still in pain and since he still has swelling he will NOW give him prescriptions....but really the shot he gave him yesterday to numb the area should have also got rid of any infection and got rid of any pain. You all know I wanted to have him call from the office so I can tell that doctor a thing or two starting with ........DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE WILL BELEIVE THAT CRAZY #######!!!>>>>>????then I would reach through the phone and slap him (the dr not michael) So there is my frustrating JA story of the day......enjoy
