It may or may not shrink. You may have to have it surgically removed. If it hasn't already, it probably won't.

Believe me, if I can work full time, go to school full time and still manage to find time to work out and eat meals at the right time, you can too.

Believe me, you get so much tail when you lose weight!!! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!! IT'S LIKE THEY APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE!!! hahaha. Juuuuuuust kidding. Honestly, it's been the greatest struggle and the biggest reward I could have ever expected. Given the chance to do it over again, I would do it a million times over. Good luck!!!!!

Okay, take or leave what I say but: I was SHOCKED when I read that. That's the kind of crap you say around your low-class guy friends when you're obliterated in some dive bar in po-dunk town, US. Maybe you should rethink this... What an arrogant, self-righteous ass. Seriously. Any guy who says that should get a backhand and swift kick in the rear. On the top of reciprocation, the guy should have no problem returning the favor. Plus, what's the worst that could happen? He gets a bit more skilled? God forbid. *pun sort of intended* ha.

Three cheers for LBT. Seriously, I would go nuts without you. haha.

Thanks, guys. Today was a bit better. I'm feeling in a bit of better spirits. I'm just really stressed out about finals, too, I think. Arg.

By the way, Missy0224 is my hero. Everyone should have someone they can talk to when they're having one of those days.

*mild rant* I just got a fill maybe a week and a half ago and it's a significant amount tighter than I'm used to. I hate this. I realized within the last couple of days that I was, or rather, am addicted to food. Being the invincible younger kid, I NEVER, EVER thought that I could acquire an addiction. Granted, my choice of addictions could have been worse, but the point still stands. I am addicted to food. Every time I turn on the damned TV, I see some stupid pizza or fast food commercial and it drives me up the freaking wall because I can't eat it. For those people who haven't gotten your band yet, it never goes away. The feeling of wanting to eat some ungodly amount of food never goes away. I'm so frustrated about this. I'm tired of being hungry every three hours and being EXTREMELY aware of it. This is taking the entirety of my strength to kick this, guys. Temptation is EVERYWHERE! Those money-hungry pizza bastards. It's a constant emotional battle with myself. Some days are better than others, but still. I've tried just about everything to distract myself. I really don't know what to do. I'm seriously breaking apart. I can't handle this. Make no mistake, I'm absolutely thrilled that I'm losing weight, but at what cost is vanity worth it over mental stability... I'm just so discouraged, here. :help:

Note to self: Post when drunk in this thread.

Everything in moderation.

I suck at this weight loss thing. I've only lost 40lbs in 6 months. Gay. Granted, I may have gained a bit of muscle, but not THAT much. Again, gay. Arg.

One of you lovely people has to conveniently live in Tucson so you can make me go to the gym on a more regular basis, right???? I'm going to go crazy. I'm losing it. I need a swift kick in the butt or something, but this going to the gym alone thing is getting very old.

I'm sorry, Leona. I guess these guys just don't know what they're missing out on. I'm starting to hate dating. lol.

Damn hypocrites. I hate those people...

Ok, one more thing. I think we should burn this stuff in people's brains because obviously modern mothers and fathers seem to have missed the memo: How come it is that parents are incapable of instilling decent values in to the heads of kids these days? This is from Hamlet, a play written by William Shakespeare almost 500 years ago. What the hell. Some parents are retards. Yet here, Laertes! Aboard, aboard for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay'd for. There ... my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg’d comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in, Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man; And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man Farewell; my blessing season this in thee! If you need help decoding this, let me know and I'll break it down a bit more.

I really don't think I ask for much from people. Seriously, how hard is it to not do anything mind-numbingly stupid? I still think that we should have age incremented IQ tests. If you're not on an upward trend you are put on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. They would have the natural resources to stay alive, but if they couldn't cut it, too freaking bad. Oh and if I hear one more person say, I hate myself or that life isn't fair, I'm going to castrate someone. Life sucks. Deal with it.

I used to take protein after my workout, but now that I'm in more of a weight loss kind of mode, should I be drinking a recovery protein shake after I work out? What do you do? What should I do? Why?

I would be a third generation Sigma Alpha Epsilon...I want it!

Finally! Someone says it! I don't care how big or small you are, if you are hot, you are hot. Oh, and the remark about men only wanting sex and not love, speak for yourself, lady. lol.

<3 Ferrari Is it Ducati that's made by Ferrari or who is it?

It has the potential to be pretty disastrous, but I wouldn't worry about it until it happens.

I'll keep that in mind! I occasionally go out to Boston. 6 hours or so away, though.

I've been to Mexico and all around jamaica. Neither country is wealthy or even average. Make no mistake, I realize that I'm lucky for being born in this country and having the opportunity to live comfortably. Also, though, don't get the idea that I live in my parents' house and they buy me everything. I have worked for everything I own. I live on my own and pay my own bills and have for quite a while. I work full time and go to school full time. I have very little time for myself, but that's the way I like it. I'm willing to work the extra hours to have nice things. I don't believe that people should be given things that they don't deserve. If you or anyone else thinks it makes me a bad person because of my personal preference to work harder for the finer things, I welcome you to have your own opinion and I will hold nothing against you. I just expect the same consideration in return.

I wish I had time to go every day...stupid chemistry test...grrrrrr. lol. I do three days a week!!!!

Who is/was in them and how do/did you like them????
