I am sooooooooooo glad ungrateful Amy went. Happy for her weight loss but I couldn't take the complaining and poor me attitude anymore. I am rooting for Neil and Kay.

First off way to go on the loss ! Outstanding job ! I really don't know if it will truly ever go away. I am still not thin yet but on my way there. The problem I have most is that I still see myself over 300lbs and think I am huge still. I am constantly comparing myself to other big guys in public (quietly). I am always asking my GF if I am bigger or smaller. Its an odd thing and I am sure we are not alone with feeling this way. I just hope with time it gets better.

LOL I really don't know exactly when I could walk 5 miles in a clip but I would say about 2 months out is was easy. Get comfortable shoes lol. It used to take me over an hour and a half to do it. Now it takes me about 1 hour and 15 minutes or less. You have those days you just don't want to do it but you just have to say to yourself that you didn't get surgery for no reason. I want to prove to myself and everyone else I am not a failure ! My Doc is another reason I push so hard. I wanted to prove him wrong. He pushed for me to get bypass because of the weight loss and I refused. So I love going in and seeing his face.

Its funny you said that. Being my family is of Italian decent (father was born there) years back we would not of been able to buy a home where we lived in NJ. Our neighbor actually showed us her original deed to her home and it stated the home could not be bought by Italians,Jews,blacks and a bunch of other minority's at one time.

Tom have faith bro ! You can do it. Go on Optifast or Medifast now if you can. No one says you can't do the liquid diet now if you want. You can lose all that in no time and fast. It will be tough but it will be worth it. I did Optifast a couple years ago and lost over 50 lbs in less than 2 months. Just I didn't keep it off. You need to do it for surgery so it will be great.

Great job ! It looks and sounds like we are keeping pace with each other ! Sounds like you are following the same work out as well. Walking walking and more walking ! I know how you feel and its great isn't it !

So its ok for anyone else? Your statement makes no sense at all. Hmm a double edged sword? Whats good for one is not good for another? Heinous acts? Your joking right? So you blame the US for terrorism? Wow!Its justified to blow up innocent people just to get a point across? Imagine if Ghandi and Martin Luther Kind went about there struggle that way? Its a joke not many of them are in great taste but usually a satire of what is going on in the world today. Some people do find it funny. Sad some can't laugh at life. Maybe you should get over it and relax a bit. You may cause yourself anxiety if you can't smile at life once in awhile. Please tell me who is cleaning up our mess? You have to be kidding. Your nation was there since day one. Its funny over 30 nations were there at the start of the war. Who is the arrogant one? Childish name calling? Grow up please. No one said you had to like it or even respond to my thread so please move on if you are going to flame or be childish. Please get off your holier than though horse. This thread wasn't actually about Derricks thread but about how the world has gotten to PC today. Its funny tonight I spoke to a friend of mine that I speak to probably a few times a week. The man is an Iraqi interpreter that decided to work for the Marines after the invasion. He presently resides in Jordan after serving 2 years fighting terrorists. He is proud of whats going on over there. I actually sent him a link about that car. He cracked up and said you have got to be kidding me. I then proceeded to tell him about what derrick said and he laughed and said yeah that would be the terrorist upgrade edition. I should get him in this thread. He always posts on a site I help run called Liveleak.

Hello fellow NoAssAtalls member ! I am one with the all gut no but syndrome ! :bounce:

I can think of many black comedians that make jokes about whites and Mexicans that make jokes about blacks and so on so your argument is mute.

Surgery cited as possible cause in West death -- chicagotribune.com Makes me nervous about ever getting a TT. I am sure the death was from other than the actually TT though.

Someone who sees my point ! WOOHOOO there is hope :whoo: Except for the Pope Mobile LOLOLOLOL Man I want one of those !

Another complaint I have is how you can't even say Merry Christmas without offending someone. No more Christmas carols in schools. What is wrong with people these days? Say goodbye to the manger scenes in towns because all that is bing taken away these days. I can see how some may say that they are not being represented so go ahead and expand on it but don't take away others traditions.

I am so sick of society today where a fricking jokes can't be said or where you have to tie your damn tongue on the basis you may offend everyone ! Lighten up people there can be humor in things.

Like I said PC world gone wild when someone can't take a joke. I am FAR from a racist and I am sure Derrick is. He made an off collar joke and thats all it was. So since 9/11 we are not allowed to tease a certain religion. Persecuted? Are you seriously kidding me? So I guess you have never heard all the jokes about Catholics and there priests. Give me a break people. I can point you to a thread NINA that states the Rants and Raves section is not for wussies and besides Muslim is not a race its a Religion. He didn't call them Sand"insert N word". Now that would have been screwed up and I would have agreed. With all the religion bashing some in this thread have done they should have no room to comment. Besides he just used satire on whats going on in present day society. Facts* -Some Muslims have more than one wives in certain countries -They do stop for prayer 5 times a day -Many do spout off anti-Jewish hate (Iranian President, also where car may be built) -Lately there are an awful lot of them using the excuse of Jihad to blow up themselves or there cars to kill western people. Unless people have not watched the news EVER. So break it down a bit.

I think people need to lighten up a little and take a joke once in awhile. Or is the world so PC we can't do that anymore out of fear of repercussions? Anyone who doesn't think the idea of this car is funny really has no sense of humor. Its like making a car for Catholics that have built in holy water cup holders and a built in pedophile protection from priests. This coming from a Catholic who can laugh at himself.

meet my new addition to my family. here is a pic of Smokey with my GF. She tricked me an brought him home with her tonight from work. He is a few months old. He is scared to death it seems. She adopted him from a vet that a friend of hers works at. Supposedly the cat was a wild cat that was hit by a car and dropped off. Now I have him. LOL He must be a liberal or talked to you Laurend because he bit me when I tried to grab him from under the couch HAHAHA:biggrin1:

Here is a clip its funny as ever. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMd8Pm-2EE]YouTube - Jeff Dunham and Bubba J[/ame]

LOL I get that question a lot. I will post what I just sent someone else who asked me. A lot of hard work. I work out like 6 days a week and eat healthy. My work out consists of walking 3-5 miles a day at a fast pace. On my 3 mile days I lift weights and the 5 mile days I don't. I generally lift 3-4 days a week. My diet consists of a lot of grilled chicken and veggies. I stay away from the pastas and carbs as much as possible. NO SODA OR SUGAR drinks LOL. I drink nothing but Water with crystal light. No need for empty calories. When I get the munchies I just have a sugar free ice pop. They are only like 15 calories. I try and keep my calorie intake between 800 to at the most 1400. I switch it up a lot to trick my metabolism. Remember what works for me may not work for others.

Thats what I figured or at least go on liquids for a bit to give it a rest.

It was me who called her anti-Semetic. Let me rephrase that to a better way. I feel she is part of the " Blame Israel for all the worlds problem crowd" considering this whole thread is about the Iraq war and not Israel.

And your anti-Semite hate? Please answer for it. You post on another thread about how you hate being stereotyped but yet you follow suit with anti-Semite posts and a sick poem about dead baby's? Don't preach to the choir when you need to clean up your own back yard. I don't hate Muslims I just wish some would stand up and realize that pointing fingers at other faiths when there own extremist sect is killing so many innocents. You say its lies well then prove it. Has Iran been killing people who are gays lately? Can woman vote yet in some middle eastern countries or even drive a car ? Be glad you are a convert in this country. Were all 19 9/11 hijackers Muslims? Are not suicide attacks on a daily base done by Muslims? Prove it is all I ask.

I lost over 130 lbs in 6 months.
