Hey Kjenkins how was the POE. Can you let us know. There are going to be a few of us that will come here using JFK. If you can give us some information on what to expect. Thanks

Lost 5 pounds already. Gonna celebrate by going shopping for Mathew's graduation. I need a new outfit in the worst way.

On a separate note, getting out of debt sucks. I just set up payment arrangements for one of my big cards and I want to puke. The balance is at $1503, so I'm doing 4 payments of $263.37 to get it taken care of as quickly as possible. After that's done I'll have one more card to pay off and then I'm out of debt. I wanted to get it all done before getting married, but I'll settle for only having one more to pay off.

I would love to have that as debt... lol..you don't even want to know what I pay a month. but I feel for you, and I hope you get it all cleared up as planned!!!

He said it was so quick and easy that he didn't even know he was done! He said the immigration officer asked what's the purpose of visit and he said to marry and reside and he said "wow, congratulations and welcome to the U.S."

DO NOT get me started on debt!! I have debt from going to Jamaica every 3 months! He promises to help me pay them as soon as he gets a job so lets see...

I wish you luck on the rest of your diet!

lol that aint even the half of it. Those are just whats on my credit cards. I've got my car payment at $13k, and my student loans that are almost at $10k.

I'm starting small and working my way to the finish. Mathew has no debt whatsoever and I want to be like him when I grow up,

This is the second day in a row that I have logged on and this thread has been towards the bottom of the SECOND page... something is wrong here. It's usually at the top of the first page

Debt? Hmmm.. I don't think you know what debt is:) I don't have a lot of credit card debt, but do have a car with about $10k left to pay... but.. then there is the student loan. Did you know that if you borrow $23K and take deferment on it for years and years.. because you can't afford to eat AND pay your student loan.. that it will eventually turn into $50K with all the interest they tack on?!! Then, when you finally make enough money to be able to pay that loan it's ballooned into something outrageous. They should teach that in college.

Come on Lottery ticket!!!! That's my retirement plan and plan for paying off my student loan.. I'm going to win the lottery

Oh.. and that's my Mom's retirement plan too... that I will win and take care of her

Oh wow, I feel better now. My total debt is 13k

lol around here we have a commercial for a cable provider and it has this 90 year old woman putting something in the mailbox and then she says "WHOO!" and the narrator says "Tough is paying off your student loans. Switching to Suddenlink is easy!". I figure that's going to be me one day.

9 days until I see my honeybunny!!!! 12 until his interview!!!

From 23k to 50k? Holy #######

Hey on that winning ticket!

Jenn, the reason why we're not on the top of the page is because we've grown now, back then before NOA2 "age" we were kids, and we'll be kids again when it's time to file for AOS. Was that a good explanation?

Great explanation But I go out of the country for a few weeks and everyone grows up?! :)

[brightskte 18]

I'm a big kid nowwwwww....

Does that mean I need to stop singing the Toys R Us song while I'm in the shower???? Poooh.

No, we grow up when we pass our interview and get really old when our honey comes!

Which is why we don't have enough time to log on to VJ so early in the morning!

Try almost 100K in student loans

Now that's a debt NOT worth even been thought about

*steps back* I very much apologize for every complaining about my 15k debt. lol!!!!

I am so sorry....man debt sucks.

Jenn, yeah I heard that happened with a friend of mine on hers too, she's trying to get them to go back to the original amount...we'll see.

Kayla, I forgot to congrats you on the weight loss!!! I don't know if it's easy for you or not, but personally I found it very hard - so I wish you all the best and you're doing a great job so far it seems!!! Keep it up and definitely treat/reward yourself. I finally did get into a routine that allowed me to go from 193lbs (my highest was 205lbs) and finally getting to my weight now which is 140lbs. I thought it would never come off (I didn't exercise much lol..too lazy). But if you can stick to it.. it definitely does happen. I try not too monitor myself too much, eat junk and such and just check my weight every few months to ensure I'm not gaining ..and if I do, I cut the junk out for awhile. I am a junk food eater.. I will eat whatever junk is in front of me, even if I don't like it. I do not and cannot have it in the house lol..I buy when I crave and if Im lucky enough to be too lazy to go get it, then I don't have it. I also can be a very emotional eater.

Krystle.. every 3 months! yikes, that would definitely add up... but I suppose worth it to be able to have seen him throughout the waiting process.
