Oh I'm glad you admitted brought this up! I toot all the time! It was worrying me. Now I don't feel so alone in my cloud. When my hubby used to drink this cheap local beer, he tooted so bad people would get really angry at him, this didn't help that he laughs and laughs about it. I called them "divorce farts." Now I want to divorce myself. :ph34r:

25 lbs is a great accomplishment! Be very proud of yourself!

You know, I looked before, at your profi;e, you've lost LOTS of weight! KUDO's!

Hey! I said in my P.S."I walk..." I already walk, I would like to eake my dog, but she pulls and strangles herself. I simply wanted to know if any on had walked a dog?

Just can't balance. I have two new knees.

I DO walk! Read above....

Hey....I'd love to walk my 25pound dog that can pull this 300+ woman wayyyy down the street, or knock me over! I used to love walking my previous dog, (60lbs) she behaved! We'd walk at night and be one with the night! (I live in a safe area) You say "Do what you love", I loved that, walking is good for me and my knees need the work. "...uh, I oughtta walk the doggg...." How do you handle a pulling dog? Someone out there oughtta be walking a dog? P.S. I walk at night, very cold but no snow. :wub:

WOW! I don't drink juice much, but I think I will try this recipe! I just found my Christmas luxury drink! Thanks for the idea Cheryl!

I'll be over round 4:00PM!

yuh huh, I got it. I accepted the awesome invitation but don't know where to go next. My LBT GPS aint workin. How do I get it to appear below my lovely avatar like it does for the other BB's? Huh?

Thoughts and prayers are in effect as of now....

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear about your gallbladder having to be removed! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm sure you're not excited about having yet another surgery. Will this affect your continued weight loss?

Got a question for ya...I have a 1/2cc in my 10cc band. I clearly need and want more, should I ask for 1 or 2 cc's or 1/2 or more? I'm eating way less than I used to, but feel I could or rather should eat less(er) and be satisfied. When they gave me the 1/2 cc, I was swolen for a few days, did the after fill diet and loved it! I could notice when to stop and it was easy. But that wore off quickly and I find myself wanting more food. Where would YOU want to be with a 10cc band?

If the jeweler resizes a gold ring, down...would they "cut out" the excess gold? And if they did wouldn't it cost less? What do they do with the excess gold? Profit? OR Do they just maneuver the gold ring down to size?

Wait till I tell my Dr that I was told to drink water with liquor in it!

OK, don't yell at me, I used to know the answer but forgot so I need to ask you guys... Other than to prevent dehydration, why do I need to drink so much Water? Does it help in losing weight?

Carolina, I know you go through some difficult times, but DAMN you're funny! But about your post, GOOD FOR YOU! I have a closet full of jeans that I intend to wear some day, but always wondered if my circulation would be cut of when I sit. I wear elastic now. But obviously one can wear regular pants! Thanks so much for sharing your exciting news, you inspire me. But about that pink text, girl, I'm blind, I can barely read your post's! Imagine me squinting and raising my bifocals and getting closer to the computer when I read your awesome post's...too funny! Oh, and then you type, "down 3 sizes down since June." Ahhhh, I couldn't tell if it was an eight or a three! Girl, you makin me feel old! You're so cool, I will always defend you if someone ever attacks you on here. I'm your Yankee post guardian! Love ya chickie!

Yeah, my engagement ring and another one keep rotating to under my finger and I'm constantly repositioning it. Especially when it's cold out and my fingers shrink a little. Hey Maddysgram, you said your jeweler put your ring sizer on, is that one permanent?

Happens to me all the time, but it's not usually hunger pangs...just a noisy stomach!

We're bring Thanksgiving to my Dad's house, so it'll be just the three of us. *Roast a small turkey at home. Cut it up and divide dark and white meat. White for me. *Oven roasted Butternut Squash. *Stuffing (which I don't eat). *Cranberry sauce (just a teeny bit for me). *Gravy (for the boys) I wanted to make my famous Key Lime Pie, or make some other fascinating dessert (to show off) but I need it to be something I can eat, so it'll be fresh fruit diced real small, and some sort of topping/mix in...I was thinking honey greek yogurt, or light Cool Whip. You got any ideas? I don't need the extra's, just want to make it more interesting for the boys. All of this I can take home for leftovers, or freezing. I don't know what I'll be drinking, as in the past I always drank cranberry juice. Oddly, I am very comfortable with the dinner/day...I don't have a big family to cook for, or children to please. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving!

Thanks SO much, I get so tired of the few snacks I can come up with. I'll copy your list into Word and print it that way. You're a lifesaver!

I've been on a South Beach Diet-ish meal plan, in the beginning with great success, not so much now. I talked to my NUT, and she said to continue the low good carbs, very low bad carbs, high Protein, heavy veggie, low fats - diet. But to start counting my calories. Keeping near 1600 a day. Sounds like a lot to me. So I joined myfitnesspal and I find it a task but sort of exciting. My calories haven't gone beyond 1550 a day. ***Do you find this high? But the reading I got from MFP for carbs is 213! Count the fact that I have a healthy amount of good carbs in my diet. ***Isn't that astronomical? In MFP, is there a way to have my own personal index of my regular food and drinks to refer back and forth to? It seems to remember about 5 now. I'm not losing at all, and I've been doing a bit more walking than usual. I'm very sad... HELP???

Yeah, what they said! :wub:

kittylove... Thanks, it was hard to write, but everybody was so sweet to offer a hand, and I learned a lot about myself and how to move forward. I'm on disability too, 12 years. Congratu;ations on your new addition! It takes a stron person to enter this journey, so don't sell yourself short. I think your knees, feet and back will feel better as you contnue to lose weight. Honey, though I struggle with it myself, NOBODY is worthless. Not even you! One thing...yes, keep busy, keep your hands busy...but as far as keeping out of your head, that can be very bad. CAN be. IF you're in productive therapy right now, look into your head and deal with the things that keep you down. Exorcise those bad things, and try your hardest to move forward. But stay in therapy. Good luck with everything, I'm sure I'll see you around!

When she was a puppy, she "barooed" (thats what they call the odd noises that come out insted of barking) when we put her in her crate, and when we left the house. But no, her Daddy's gene's took over in the barking area. She doesn't bark like a beagle though, thank God. But she is very quiet most of the time, except for the above occassions and if I attempt to bring her out for a walk and she see's other dogs. At 25 pounds, she can pull this big Momma all over the place! Geesh.... Besenji's are very quiet, but they do baroo, it's like thy're singing. Look on youtube, it's so cute!
