  1. Everything about Obama is hard to defend....... Condoleeza for president!!!!
  2. When you go out to dinner and your kids argue over who is getting your left overs and you haven't eaten yet!
  3. Here is the thing....I usually do not slime in public. I am very careful when around people so I know it can be done. I did not mean to worry you, I am healthy and feel great with the weight loss. I just meant you would think I would learn by now! Good luck!
  4. I just want to know why after almost a year of banding I still slime!!! I sometimes forget to chew that first bite or....I take one bite too many! What is my problem?? I picture myself at 80 years old, over the toilet saying " Damn, I didn't chew that first bite!!" Its not a pretty picture! LOL Then....if I do not slime it feels like not enough restriction....I do not have that middle ground. Any one in the same boat as me, misery loves company!
  5. One word.....REVERSIBLE!!!!
  6. Thanks everyone! It is funny that the little things we do without realizing with regards to our weight. Tying our shoes on the sides because its easier, sitting in the middle of the chairlift, going for the table instead of the booth etc......its an endless list!
  7. Fish makes me gag! OOPS sorry wrong thread!
  8. Well I went snowboarding this weekend which was great without carrying an extra 65 lbs but the NSV was when I got on the chair lift....I did not worry about it leaning to one side!!! I was always afraid that the chair would hang low on the side I was sitting on. I would make sure to sit in the middle if at all possible. Not any more! I now weigh less than my husband and kids!!!!!
  9. Way to go!! It does feel good when you reclaim your space!
  10. I am so bummed....I just ordered a bathing suit tankini with board shorts size 16 (I am now in 12 or 14 pants) and it is too tight!!! What do I do, return and go for the 18 (UGHHH) or just keep trying to get into it for summer???? I really thought it would be fun and exciting to get a new suit....WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING, BATHING SUITS ARE NEVER FUN!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Metal
  11. Congratulations!! A-hole doctor......imagine his social life (or lack of one) with manners like that!!!!
  12. I am jealous of all that snow....we are getting just rain, rain, and more rain. I am glad I went snowboarding yesterday while we still had snow!! Wishing I was there....
  13. I really miss a big honkin sandwich like a turkey club or a messy cheesburger with mayo and fries!!!!! MMM MMM!!! I don't really miss not being able to tie my shoes without a respirator though....so I guess it is a trade off!
  14. Good Luck in Vegas....and please check in when you get back!! That whole what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is too boring!!! Congrats on the "Little Black Dress"
  15. Congratulations everybody.......What a feeling!!!!
  16. This happened to me on Thursday....my third fill. It never happened before. I am not afraid of needles or anything like that. It was very weird but that is exactly what my doc said it was!!!! Misery loves company so I am glad that I am not alone in this. I get very light headed when I donate blood too. I tried to give platelets once and passed out.....not sure if it is the same thing. Thanks for the info!
  17. Congratulations.....here's to a speedy recovery and a new you!
  18. I would go and say that you are watching what you eat....started dieting etc. That is what I did and the next time they see you they will not be so surprised at the weight loss. Plant the seed now and have fun tonight!
  19. I was wondering to.....where is Nimblebean???? She kept us all informed with her calendar!!!! Where is the rest of the gang??????
  20. 50 lbs!!! Good for you, that is more than 6 gallons of milk!!!! Imagine carrying them wherever you go! Great Job Metal
  21. I remember the drama.....cannot remember all the players (or all the drama for that matter....too much to keep up with). Glad this is back to being "My happy place"!
  22. I am staying on plan today because....I have been losing and gaining the same 2 lbs for the past month or so!!!! I will not have ice cream again until the 4th of July!!!!!!
