Sex Life
I have always had a huge sex drive...big or small. Being single though, doesn't really help that. LOL I've had a few flings here and there, but nothing that would develop into something serious...which is what I want! I'm too old for these games anymore! :thumbdown:

The Sweetheart Goal!
Me too...though I've finally got restriction and have been losing! I was 290 for like 2 months straight! I've increased my cardio, usually hit the gym twice a day. I'm averaging 10-12 times a week at the gym. Completely insane...but I'm motivated for once! I stepped on the scale this morning to see 277! Can't even tell you the last time I remember being that weight! It's been a long, long time! Good luck everyone, ya'll are doing awesome!

What is wrong with me?
I'm with ya'll...I've been stuck since I can remember. Heck I'm even up a few pounds...I'm going to blame Christmas for that. I go today for another fill, and feel miserable even going in there because the scale has went up...not down. It's frustrating. I don't eat many carbs, sugars...hell, I eat healthy 95% of the time! The other 5% is usually sugar free snacks that I probably should cut out. Grrr!!
-
Have you had your 2nd fill?
Woot...I need that loss of 2-3 pounds a week! I've been at a standstill forever it seems!
-
Soft Stop
Nope...I sure hope I get it soon though! *crosses fingers that tomorrow does the trick!*

50 lbs Down!!!!
Congrats...I'm almost there! These 5 pounds are a pain!

Update: Revision surgery
Glad everything went well!

A thread for Single Bandsters
Well I'm back to the officially being single thing. The Nate thing didn't work out..."He Just Wasn't That Into Me!" I'm glad I can finally admit that....and not feel so shitty about it! After reading that book, I've learned that if a guy isn't going to dig me....then it's his loss! I tried the Eharmony thing...and started talking to this amazing guy. We now are talking on the phone daily, with emails as well. He lives 2 hours away...so who knows where this will go! :eek:

2 Months Out Today.
Yeah...today is my 2 month bandiversary! I'm down to about 285-286 ( I need to update my ticker). That puts me at a loss of 44-45 pounds! Woot! I've got another fill Tuesday, so hopefully that will do more damage! Woot! I noticed yesterday, I pushed myself harder at the gym...and I seemed to have lost a pound. Could be mental...so we'll see tonight!

A thread for Single Bandsters
Yeah...I do that or I order Chicken fingers with Mashed potatoes....Those usually go down really well.

A thread for Single Bandsters
So far, both of the guys that showed interest in me (including Nate)....I've told about the band. Both seemed rather interested and intrigued about the band. I guess it just depends. I figured that I'll be upfront with everything. Either they like me, or they don't! I read a book called "He's Just Not That Into You"....and it made everything make so much more sense!

A thread for Single Bandsters
I've met a couple guys from online dating sites. The first guy I met online was from americansingles.com. This was a few years ago. We hit it off well...and continued dating for a few months. He had to move because of his job, and I wasn't into the long distance thing. We both went our separate ways...and just recently (September) started talking again because he's moved back in town. We met up for drinks a couple of times...and then he had me over to his place a few times for some games and hanging out. I just went there this past weekend and had one of the *best* times with him...which did NOT include sex. That was awesome....I'm totally fallin' for him again. He liked me when I was my biggest, and seems to continue liking me....I'm not going to give my hopes up on this....but I'm curious to see where it's going to go. If anything...it's a nice step back out into the dating world!

Port flipped!!!
Awe, I'm sorry to hear that! My port has turned a little since the surgery, but it's still accessible. Like Tulip said...it's just a lil' bump in the road on our journey!

Have you had your first fill?
I just got home a lil' while ago from gettin' my second fill. Fun stuff...hopefully when I move to mushy/soft foods I'll notice a difference!

Chocolate
