I am Hiltler. I am paranoid but killing all my enemies does tend to relieve my anxiety. You are Hitler. You tend to see threats everywhere and always focus on worst case scenarios. <div align="center"> <br><img src="http://images.similarminds.com/leader/6.jpg"><br><a href="http://similarminds.com/othertests.html'>http://similarminds.com/othertests.html">What Famous Leader Are You?</a><br><font size="1"><a href="http://similarminds.com">personality tests by similarminds.com</a></font></div>

I don't think I could ever get a trike unless I also had a motorcycle. It's like trading in your snow skis for water skis. They are both fun, but they're both different, so you gotta have one of each.

Need All Lbt,er Help!!
Remember that muscle is denser than fat, so muscle weighs more. You might not be losing, but I bet if you take your measurements you've lost inches. If you enjoy exercising, then keep it up. But if it's a real chore, I personally don't think any "normal" person should have to work so hard. If you're doing a body-building thing then it's okay, but careful about overdoing it because that's how people get burned out. You look damn good though!

Dating after/during weight loss (for Kare)
Vines, congrads for teaching a guy to kiss! I've tried and failed. It's like teaching a white guy with no rythym to dance like Michael Jackson. Eitehr the have it, or they don't. So some guys are trainable, but you can't get the Moon Walk out of a clutz! If they need guidance, maybe. But if they are a wet drooler (I JUST BARFED) then they'll probably always drool! Michelle, Michelle, Michelle... girl, I'm right there with you. I've been pinned against the wall buy a guy that makes my girl parts quiggle. We used to work together, and just the site of his arms made me weak. We were alone on many occasions, and he would get really close behind me and talk down my neck because he knew he was driving me crazy. Then one day I had to go to his house (work related.) I wobbled in on jelly knees, and he immediately pushed me against the wall in one of those Hollywood moments meant for the big screen. Lips brushed, whispers... but I pushed him away because I'm married. Period. It sucks because he lives so near. Sometimes I think I should just kiss him in hopes he'd be a drooler so he'd get out of my head! But even though I'm the wildchild of LBT, it's just my husband or my toys. I think we are normal. We can't help our animal attractions. We can't. We can only control the impulses. Lonely ladies, think "toys." Nothing wrong with it.

Dating after/during weight loss (for Kare)
I love that we have our own scientific research and analysis department because here's proof that my pheromones work! They attract people towards you - arms around you, petting you, near you. But you're right, the rest is up to you. And Karen, YES, they do make you feel good! When you said "I think they sort of heighten the senses" I jumped out of my chair! Yes yes yes, in addition to containing 3 different pheromones, they also contain ingredients known to promote happiness and calm nerves. I'm doing a Slumber show tonight and I'm printing your thread (with your approval.) Thank you! "Pheromones might get them to prick up their ears right at first" but YOU need to do the rest. The same thing happens in the jungle. A big gorrilla sniffs out a hottie, then they hook up near a banana tree, but after the initial attraction, she better hold his interest or he'll move to the next tree. When I was single, I didn't attract many men because of my height. Most of my dates were guys dating girlfriends who found them boring but then got to know my insides and wanted to be with me. So if I had Basic Instincts back then, I'd have had a better chance at getting them near me so I could spin my web and captivate them! (Megan, I carry them so contact me or click my link.) And Tony my darling, I never forget about boys! But why haven't you registered at my DeLarla's Dating Service thread? You have to put your name and face out there! Okay, so our little LBT dating service is too tiny to find matches, but I am MORE THAN HAPPY to help people set up a Yahoo account. If I were single, I would ONLY date people I found on the computer since we get to see a profile, picture, chat on line, build that into some phone conversations, and only then meet in person. As far as men maturing (looks) faster than women, who said you have to ask their age? My coworker is married to a guy 10 years her youth (bitch) because she's a very sexual woman that needed a man to keep up with her needs. If I were a single gal, I certainly wouldn't be dating anyone in my age range! I'd be at Studio 54 looking for a boyfriend! Date men in your mental age range, not in your physical. This thread makes me horny.

What a Birthday Present
Happy birthday to her! That's such a great gift. I'm still porless because I'm constantly worried about erosion (since I had such a long infection.) If my band is still fine, I'll get a 2006 birthday port. Congrads to you both.

What about women in underwear on Harleys? Maybe it's time for Jenna to share her story on the back of MY HUSBAND'S Harley???? Jenna? JENNA? Glad you enjoyed - see you in 2006. I checked out the site, and that black Ultra Classic trike is tight! I'm somewhere right inbetween a new Dyna or a Trike. The answers will come when the time is right.

Calling People Who Cook Mexican Meals
Betty, keep in mind that all the heat is inside the seeds and the center of the pepper. Some people blanch them, some roast them. Remove all the insides, rinse your hands, then nibble on the pepper for one taste. Then carefully crack a seed open and touch it to your tongue (watch out, that's the hot part.) When working with chilis, keep your hands away from your eyes and your girl parts! Trust me. I use a variety of chili peppers when I make salsa or anything Mexican. Each one has a different taste, each has a different heat index, some are sweeter, etc. Some aren't even hot. The different colors and tastes make the dish your own creative work of art.

UNDERWEAR Fun Thread
That's exactly how I feel. I don't want to be frumpy any more. None of us will ever have out youth back, so if we think losing 100 pounds is going to make us look like Cameron Diaz in a bikini, we're wrong. So why not Celebrate our bods the way they are? Michelle, I'm cracking up over all that new underwear! Isn't it fun? It's like sunglasses and lip gloss, you can never have enough cute panties.

Just got banded on Monday
Glo, you are going to be fabulous! From your first post here till this last one, we can already see a huge improvement. Just think, it gets better every day. I'm glad to see you feeling better. Yes, your surgeons should have cared more, but not all of us were lucky enough to get caring surgeons. You win some, you lose some. It's all a crap shoot.

UNDERWEAR Fun Thread
Welcome to THONG WORLD! Everyone needs to convert. I thought they would be awful, too, but if you get a good fit, they are the best. Michelle's wearing big girl panties! This is a very exciting moment for me. I'm not sure what my new underwear obsession is all about - I hope it's not an omen telling me I better be wearing clean underwear in case I have to meet my Maker soon. Uht oh.

Wait, am I supposed to wear this corset out of the house? Hell, I'd rather have flab rolls then be bound up more more than a swing from the chandelier.

Coyote girl, thank you for the cute bracelet! Ladies, this chick has been keeping a secret - she is very creative! What a cute card she made me, plus the bracelet. That was the sweetest unexpected gift... thanks T!

Just got banded on Monday
Glo, I think a lot of us kind of freaked out when we woke up. I still wake up from time to time wondering about this thing around my belly. I'm really thankful for your thread though, because it allows new people to get a perspective on some of the negative things that can be associated with the band. I wish I could be there to hold your hand, because you seem to have a lot of anxiety over your decision. You're going to have to trust us though, that if you remain compliant, the weight will start coming off, and that's what you wanted, right? As far as not being mentally prepared, I think it's a shame that so many people have this surgery without spending a few weeks here at LBT first. There's so much to learn with the band and new lifestyle. Doctors will tell you this and that, but the real stuff is right here at this message board. Anyone else that's new and considering the band should just keep reading and reading and asking tons of questions before getting banded. It's a huge, huge decision, a gamble, a chance... and hope. Hang in there. I hope we see a happier Glo soon.

Well if it makes you feel better, I should have ordered the larger thong. This one's creeping up my butt (happy nightmares.) I sure do miss Avenue's thongs. They were full cover thongs, not butt floss.

Frequent Flyer Dating Service (not a joke)
I just saw on the news: WWW.AIRTRODUCTIONS.COM It's a cute new dating service to hook people up that fly. Register at the site, and you can sit next to single people while you fly. So far there's only 700 members but growing every day. I think it's a fabulous idea on how to meet new people!

Dating after/during weight loss (for Kare)
Lately my husband has come full circle with the marriage thing, so I've fallen in love all over. But I'm still envious of single gals at my age, because the excitement of new love is one of the best feelings in the world. My single girls here at LBT are dating after losing weight, and there's a recurring topic here about "should we tell the guy about our loss and the surgery?" For me, I'd test the guy awhile before telling him. I'd have to know that he thinks I'm desirable from the inside before discussing my outside. Kare, you are a stunning LBT model. From my end, you don't even look like you have a weight problem. I think we should have an LBT beauty contest because with your smarts and bouncy hair, that pink satin sash could very easily be yours. As far as having to tell a guy, why? Why not just enjoy being companioned (did I make that word up?) Have a little fun, live life on the wild side for us married gals. Hold hands, kiss. Wait, that's a whole new topic. The kiss: Who has time to date, anyway? I don't consider it dating, I consider it an interview. So meet him, shake his hand, if you might like him, shove him against the wall and plant a wet one on him. If he can't kiss, move on. What a slut. Who said that? I did. Shut up, DeLarla. No, you shut up, Lisa. GEEZE. HELP. My point is that I'm a very good kisser (it's my thing.) Like when Kevin Costner in Bull Durham said, "I believe in long kisses that last all night long" holy bananas, I melted. So, what if you date the guy a couple weeks then find out he kisses horribly? That's happened a few times in my life, and it's devastating. So stop worrying about YOU and start worrying about him. He better kiss good, and he better be good with tools, and he better treat you like a queen. Or, just fake him out by wearing pheromones. I've been learning a lot about pheromones, and there's literature that it's lying to a guy by wearing it because it fakes him into being attracted to you. Nothing like an honest start!

A Confession
Wait a second, how come I resume to eating after an urp? Nestegg, I think you're on the right track becaues we are supposed to go easy on our bands after any kind of episode. An urp is a sign we've eaten too fast or too big a bite. I'm desperate. I need a new thread. Sigh. Kare, I want to jump in your dating world, but I started a whole new thread for that. I'm really into you single girls and think it's an important topic that deserves a special thread. This urping tread is a great one, too so see me in the other thread.
