<-- Really wish it would stop all together, I am getting at that age now, LOL

From one NJ gal to the other, best wishes and sending good karma your way! Can't wait to hear all about your progress

I love your new profile tooooo! Look at you skinny minnie

That is a tough one! Maybe put yourself in her shoes. If it were you would you want to know? Be kind and sound concerned, like hey there could be something medically wrong going on here. .. If you and her are very close friends, you can have a conversation like this with her. Best of luck,

Hi Rebecca, My surgeon like yours asked what goal would I like to set my weight at, I said 190. According to the BMI chart that would still put me in a higher body mass index bracket, ..I am shooting for 'Healthy". He has no problems with this at all, and once I get to my goal we will discuss going lower, but as of right now my goal is 190. Yes, I am certain he would like me to go lower and in due time the subject will come up.

Really Cheryl?? Not only did you tell her 'what to do" you also called her OBESE, YES YOU said it! Wow, nothing you say ever surprises me on this forum. YOU are really a class act...... I think you need to apologize to Rebecca and maybe next time, THINK before you write! Isn't that what writers do????

omg, that is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!

<---- just showed my hubby your picture. Hes sulking now.........

Chez is right, not everyone will get it. I only told 3 of my friends (wished I only told 2), because that 3rd one has been litterally getting on my last nerve with all her Facebook rants about dieting, overweight woman, and fat cartoon characters. Btw, she is overweight too. Her last comment made me really pissed off. She got very sick and because of that she lost 16 lbs. So she bragged about how she lost the weight and said "at least I didn't have to do anything to lose it".. How caddy

MsRhonda, go to the ER now! if you are describing a tube coming up from the back of your throat, that could be a swollen epiglottis. Not to get you scared, but its very serious if you don't take care of it now! soooo, get off the comp and call your hubby to meet you there at the hospital. (it could be something different), but, better safe than sorry. Keep us posted!

Remember the old shampoo commercial about they told two friends, and so on and so on...

Too funny

Congratulations!!!! this is happppy news!!!

*Appetizer*

I have to give you credit, because the chopsticks would of went flying across the room. LOL I can't use them, very clumsy ... however my appetier fork helps me tremendously

ohh boy I sooooooOOO can't wait to see that number on the scale!! Great Job Donna!!

They soooooo are, LOLOLOL

Donna, You are such a beautiful woman! Things like this, when they happen only make us stronger! and like CG said, "Karma" is a B***h, well here in Jersey we say "Karma is a M*****F**** - You can fill in the blanks, LOL. Keep your head up high and stay strong (hugs)

Yea, its that time of the year again.. blah! I don't know why, even as far as I have come with my weight loss I still think about chocolates! It really aggravates me and bothers me that I can go on for days talking bout it, thinking about, craving it, and wanting to eat it. I know this is all mental games that plays in my mind. I just hate that I 'still' want it. I love chocolates, especially dark rich truffles. My husband every year on Valentines Day would buy me a box of the finest chocolates to endulge in, with a bottle of my favorite wine. I dread when I have to go to the super markets and look at all the Valentine Day displays (those people should be punished), LOL I have not caved in, and I only hope that my strong will power will prevent me from buying a bag of Lindt chocolate truffles that I love so much! This Valentine's Day I will share some wine and fresh strawberries with my love, yes I may drizzle some dark chocolate over them, but it will be way better than those killer Lindt balls,

You still lost, pat yourself on the back (hugs)

I wonder if I would ever be that small ... that is a loss in my book hon!!!

Hang in there Nayelli, you got this!!! (hugs)

Well, I hoped to have lost more weight this month of January, however I did meet my expected goal was to have lost a total of -90lbs for this month and I did achieve that with an extra -1. I am happy never the less....
