  7. I don't see a lot of post because my Laptop broke down so I do try to see it on my Android phone ., but I am trying to keep up.

  8. Can anyone help post about the Good Morning America site where the Husband introduced his Wife as his Cousin , people are wandering about the story She lost a 100 pounds , please help as I don't know how to link it here on the site, Please and Thank you.

      I found this on https://gma.yahoo.com/extreme-weight-loss-success-stories-lost-100-pounds-123136697--abc-news-wellness.html

       

       

      As a child, Lori Filipiak always found comfort in food, including, she says, “the whole pizza with French onion dip, whole bags of chips, fast food I would get when no one was around.”

       

      At her heaviest, Filipiak weighed 265 pounds. A bad marriage when she was 19 years old set the stage for her to make a change.

       

      “I can remember being out with him and (him) introducing me as his cousin and not his wife,” Filipiak, now 42, said, speaking of her now ex-husband. “That was huge for me. I was done … and that was the day I got my life in order.”

       

      The receptionist from Springfield, Ill., who stands five feet, nine inches tall, told People that she started out by walking, and then progressed to more demanding workouts, along with cutting out red meat, sugary snacks and fried foods.

  9. OMGOSH REALLY I HOPE THIS LADY TOLD HER HUSBAND ABOUT WHAT HE DID AND SAID , OH TH ME ME UPSET READING THE CAPTION ON YAHOO, SHE LOST A 100 LBS, HOPEFULLY SHE LOST MORE LBS BY GETTING RID OF HIM THAT IS JUST WEIT SHE DIDN'T NEED TO CARRY JUST MY OPINION , HE INTRODUCED HER AS HIS COUSIN , i HAVE A BIG MOUT AND i WOULD HAVE LET HIM HAVE IT.

      Apparently I was typing to fast so you have to make Sense of what I typed , I was just so irritated , when I read that on Yahoo.

       

  10. I was watching the Doctors , well I was just actually listening when I caught , they were talking about s I think it was gastric bypass but I thought I would let everyone know as I am a band patient and I love my loss and health with my band

  11. Omg these allergies are kicking up out here in Cali. and today it is a 100 sunny , windy degrees , got to find me a pool, just sweating while walking, please people say hydrated.

      hey debbie..i can relate to the allergies.....turing me into more of a bitch then normal....are you near the fires? i hope NOT......be safe/be careful......lots of love

    2. Debbie3sons

      Debbie3sons

      Not yet near the fires , thank goodness , but a few yrs. ago I had so much ash on my car and where the freeway is , I had to drive through that just to get to work, most of the fires out here are a ways away so far, the few good things is I can wear my shorts and tanks or the fun outfits and the shines bright so it wakes me up and the sweating I don't like it but maybe I can sweat some more lbs off lol.

       

  12. Ok I think I finally got to upload a few pics so if you see , wher I uploaded the pic of how much of the lenth I had on the small plane , also I posted some new pithat I just looked at wow my face is getting smaller but the bags under my eyes is from woring and thyroid , oh and aging lol.

  13. Went to Lapband Doc today , found out I have 10cc's in my 14cc band thought it was 11 or 12 but it was 10 , no fill as he asked how I felt and said you have lost a 100lbs with excitement in his voice and said remember when I first met you and asked if I knew where my cane was or if I threw it away , I said no I keep it in my trunk as a reminder of how big I was and had to ise it to hold up my weight and legs because I couldn't walk with out it , and now almost 2 yrs, I have been able to move comfortabally , except for my back issues, , I am o happy another 50 to go and I will be at my goal .
