thats what I want to do too, I belive the cooper fitness standards are what most states require to be certified by law enforcement academy. http://www.dmgov.org/Departments/HumanResources/PDF/PoliceOfficerPacket2011-2012.pdf There is a chart on here that shows what you will need to do. I don't see myself ever being able to do it, but I do sometime give up easily. Go to work and make this happen!

I used to work at the store and I judged people a lot and I think I gave myself a complex. I don't even buy TP at the store now. I must say clerks see many more odd ones and didn't judge too hard. I remeber this lady would come in every week and buy like 20 packages of lady pads. I always felt gross after touching her cash. Needless to say I use drugstore.com often.

First off, great topic Nikki, that created lots of pages and people here like you Also Management is prolly pissed off that you are pretty and that people like you so they have to pick on some thing to try to make themselves feel good and bring others down to their level. Next time they say something just give a firm ok and go about your biz. Then throw an unexpected compliment out a few days later. Women like to fight and one has to be bigger, may as well be you (for now) love the pun As for telling people I fear this as well. I plan to tell people at work I quit porking out so much. Not sure about my husband, I am sure he will find out really soon after and get super pissed off that I make big decisions and don't include him. But this is the only way as if I tell him I am doing it he will control me and I won't be able to do this.

Went to the amusement park yesterday. The seatbelt on the roller coaster wouldn't fit, no extender either. embarrasement!!

when i was in middle school basket ball they always picked me for skins on shirts and skins. they would make comments like get him over here and milk him rerfering to my boy boobs.

I discuss psyc eval with nurse at insurance company Monday then they can review my case. I hope to know within 2 weeks

Hey you 35 to 40 BMI folks that got approved, did you have other issues that helped? I am 36 bmi and have high blood pressure, has been as high as 150/100. more typical is 140 over 90. I did the initial consult and it read 130/70 I bet it is that I quit smoking. Also have not taken the meds in a few years. I discuss psyc eval with nurse on 23rd then can be reviewed for approval (i hope!) hope normal blood presure didn't blow it.

I think people take sex to seriously. He may have done it to enjoy himself or to see if he was still able to find someone. He may feel like he is going to be on the market after you lose wieght and leave him. Is there an open line on comunication? The toe curl communication you saw, what was in it? My guess is flirting, and nothing saying oh, i am panning to leave my family for you. Did he feel bad you found out? Prolly yes. My relationship was shaky for the 1st few years ( with small child I bet that is where you are right now) I have found when we have sex with someone else in the begining we always felt that the other was testing a replacement. Eventually we figured out neither is planning to ever leave, and we have a stronger bond now than ever. And as we have gotten older and less sexual the flings have slown down as well. I know you feel hurt, but just know if you leave him, the next guy will be just as bad, these things happen. Now if he is bad for other reason, and likes to control you or hit you he needs to pack a bag, but i sense that is not the case here.

how do they use this, do they shove it down your throat and then once in belly use that as a guide to cut around?

Let us know what happens, I like happy endings! As for jobs assuming your husband was not white collar, North Dakota is looking for oil workers. My friends little brother has no degree and works 12 hrs a day 7 days a week for 3 weeks (company runs 2 12 hr shifts daily) then comes home to his family for 3 weeks. Makes 80 grand a year, and when he is away will be to tired to screw around on ya. Just putting ideas out!

2 pack a day is a lot. Great work! One thing that worked kinda nice for me was to smoke the last of my pack before bed, then sleep in like a lot a lot (15hrs) and then since it is hot out since it is already afternoon sleeping so much i found the heat and trouble going to get smokes to be worse than the cravings. Then after I was up and going to keep myself busy I washed the bug sloober off the outdoor lighting fixtures then jumped naked into the pool to cool off. I went to bed early and was only awake like 6 hrs that day. Since I always run late to work I wasn't able to stop off to feed my morning commute craving. Yep. that sunday was the best day that help me quit. Have smoked under a pack in the last 3 weeks and none in the past 7 days. I hope I learn my lesson this time. I quit when I was 20 and at 25 I thought I could be strong enough to handle a few while out being a bar ****. Wrong was I. Having a partial pack in the car made me want to smoke them. It is like heroine (so I hear) No middle ground, when you quit it has to be 100% forever. Oh, I went to Burger King the other day, Pretty sure I was judging how gross the smokers in line smelled as it lingered on their clothes. Glad I am being judged for one less thing now Wish everyone continued success!

My doctor said 3 months. I cut back to from almost 1 pack a day to 10 singles for a week and then 5 singles for 2 weeks and then none. I really want this, so it wasn't hard since I had a reason to quit. I can see having your spouse smoking around you would be tough. My husband had to quit while he spent a week chanting at the temple, and when he got back I told him I would quit if he don't start again. So we both quit pretty easily.

I'm good at math (better than spelling if you found my typos above lol). MilkD got it 100% right. Using her example of 2000 deductable and 4000 out of pocket max with 80% coverage after deductable is met; would mean that any approved expense over 12,000 would be 100% covered by insurance. You will want to check to see how much the out of pocket max is as this can vary a lot. Mine is 7,500 for example. Also see if your insurer has online access you can log into. It will tell you things like how much of the deductable has already been satisfied and details on coverages. Good luck. Also the deductable on many plans starts over Jan 1st, so if you think you can't get it done by endof year might hold off til jan 2013. Psy exam for example can be over 400 and billed separate so you might want to have all exp in same calandar year.

As long as you are asking insurance company questions. 1. Do i need to have suervised diet first? 2. Does this need to be a Center of Excellence? 3. Is the 80% you cover on total or do I need to pay 100% until deductable is satisfied? (I have to pay 100% until my 4500 deductable is satisfied, then they pay 90%. out of pocket max for me to pay is 7,500) 4. Is everyone covered or do I need a weight related health condition as well? I am impulsive and it is driving me bonkers. First I had to do psyc eval (3 weeks to get appt) then follow up visit for result, (2 and half weeks more wait. Have to use center of excellence (they require attending seminar, initial visit and atending 1 of the monthly office sponsered support groups) then the insurance wants to discuss results of psyc exam and is being tough to reach to schedule this. and then the doc office will submit for approval- a couple more week wait. OMG, I think the goal is for you to give up so they don't have to pay the claim. And my doctor office said people that work at my employers health plan (united health, while patient out of pocket is high, is easy to get approved. So just be prepared that it will prolly be a hassle and go to Mexico

During the seminar the doctor said he has one that drinks a fifth of wiskey daily and is not loosing wieght, he also has one that eats a dozen cupcakes and sucks on hershey bliss and has gained wieght since surgery. It comes down to-you can, but should you?

over 11 years is a couple a month, i have friends that are well over 1,000 i am sure. all about moderation, although if better looking and thinner and higher energy who knows. My initial visit at weight loss doctor is tommorrow!!!

Doc pretty much asked questions about my life. Family, friendships, work, etc. The eval test at over 500 questions asked really seemingly meaningless questions but worked pretty well. During the follow up he said questions like do u like yellow mean nothing to me but through history they determine people that like yellow feel a certain way. So pretty much it has a consistancy score to make sure you don't lie as some questions are obvious. For example in the report he put i dont need support groups. They have a normal range on like 15 factors. Wish I had copy of report btw. Said the ones slightly out of norm are that i am sexually compulsive. Given that i have over 200 sex partners the test hit that on head and i didn't talk sex in interview, also that i am lazy, he said that is normal for overwieght population, also said I deal with stress poorly ( get pissed off and walk away often). Can't remember what other factors there were but those were the only that i was outside the norm somewhat. He said on a 0 to 100 scale of mental stabilty with 50 as median i am a 62. Also compared results with typical wieght loss paients and doing surgury was average or good in every catergory. (more self confidence was only one I remeber) Although I have a positive self image, I run around think im hot then get pissed off when i see myself in mirror and find out im not so the test must have missed that. not sure if all are simialr but for what it cost better cover lots

Thinmymind -- How long did they have you stay in mexico until you could fly home? At a week and a half feeling pretty good? You worried about complications to deal with back home? Very pretty btw.

thanks I want to hear how tomorrow goes!

In case anyone was wondering I got clearance from the psyc eval. They are sending it to doc and insurance comapany. I wish things moved faster. I'm getting antsy.

supermodel, how much did yours cost? I am still working on the approval process. My deductable is 7,000, so if i get denied I am sorta thinking mexico. My biggest fear is insurance denying to pay complications if they happen to me after I get back. Also what was/is your height and wieght?

I thought they seemed money hungry. I was with docs for 20 min then had to take a 700 question test that took hours. My insurance is 7500 deductable so had to pay $420 out of pocket. I will feel raped if not approved(cleared), go back 19th to find out.

Is anybody using STD? I looked in the hand book and where I work if you have been here 1 to 3 years you get 2 weeks at 100% pay after you take 1 week off with pto. Lots more week at 65% pay. I have not checked with HR or anythingto see if elective surgury is exempt or anything, but I sorta think it would be covered so not sure why you would not be able to afford taking more than that. Has anybody used STD?

If you needed like 5 pounds I d say go for it, since you need 16 pounds no way, sorta defeating the purpose. I hear you can get it done in Mexico for 6,000 USD plus about 2,000 USD for airfare. I am guessing that is 25 to 50% less than what your self pay would be and you wuoldn't need to gain weight first.
