According to the Mayans, the world as we know it is going to end 2012 anyway, so let's just party like its 2011! :w00t:

I think it was a guy who came up with the saying " 'tis better to give than receive" :angry_smile: I have to admit, I do a lot more receiving than giving. My DH is just a very giving kind of guy.

Plain, sometimes your taste in movies is just plain sophomoric!

Thank you. I love you, too! :angry_smile: The best "bow-chicka" dance is by the asperger guy on Boston Legal which I'm sad to report aired their final episode last night. It was a great finale though!

If cheetos are within reachable vicinity, they don't last long so I make sure they're out of reach (like at the store). :angry_smile:

I'm happy to report that I haven't run into any exes on fb; I did find some pics of old crushes from elementary school, though. Took me waaaaaay back. :angry_smile:

Good morning, ladies! I'm so excited. I think I've finally found that elusive sweet spot after my 5th fill last Tuesday. I've dropped 4.5 lbs since then and when I eat just 1 serving of something, I feel full for hours. Not just band full but belly full. I'm so happy and thrilled that the band finally seems to be working with me! :angry_smile:

Joiful, I find that foods I used to enjoy and partake of in too much quantity now is no longer as appealing. Sometimes, I take one bite of something and even if I'm hungry, it just didn't taste right so I walk away. With this last fiill, I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot. It's been one week and while the band has loosened enough for me to eat solid foods, literally, one serving makes me feel full, not just band full but belly full, too.

This thread's been very quiet the past couple of days. Where is everyone?

Thanks Charlene and Kimaly. It is so good to see the scale moving down. I'm so motivated, I think I'll actually start back on the treadmill. :angry_smile:

Thank you Janet. I took them today in the office. The lighting in there is much better than the lighting at home for picture taking. Since I've joined facebook, I've been taking pics like crazy.

Here's your prize - a quote and an online hug. C'mon and join fb -- you know you want to...

Your powers of observation are amazing! That's Stephanie and she was the one who actually posted this on her fb page. She looks exactly the same today, just 29 years older.

A prize to the first one who can pick me out in this 6th grade class photo <hint - 2nd row> One of my old school friends dug this up and posted it on fb.

Wow! WTG! Totally awesome! Will you be posting any progress pics?

:wub:Y'all are so sweet! I love y'all! :wink_smile: I'm going to save these posts to give me a lift whenever I need it--better than any prozac pill!

Awww geez, thanks! I took more and they're on fb, also they're on my profile here but my privacy settings require friendship or contact so I'll friend you here, too. The lighting here in the office is so much better for picture taking than at home. Now, I feel like I'm hanging out my underwear for everyone to see...:wink_smile:

You sound just like DH when he describes the "temperate" climate in Iceland! :wink_smile:

Thanks, Lulu. The lighting in the office is pretty good!

PJTP: facebook has me in a picture taking frenzy and now i feel compelled to update photos on LBT, too!

Thanks, I will, I will, I will. LOL ... and we wonder why men think women are so evil. LOL

Having lived in warm climates for the better part of the past 10 years, I do miss winter wonderland. At least I can still visit, right?

Mrs. FlipFlops that was so funny! OK, I've got a confession... I quit smoking in January after 20+ years of smoking. A couple of weeks ago, I was drinking and enjoying myself a bit too much and decided to have one, which led to another which led to another.... I've been smoking again ever since! I cannot believe I did this again! :wink_smile:

Yeah, what she said. Having a bit more difficulty with this one...

Took the words right out of my mouth.
