I've been stuck at 40lbs for over a month. I might go cry now. So, you see... YOU aren't that person, it's ME! :thumbup:

Mail all your recipes to lbtrecipes@gmail.com :wink2:

Well, I will tell ya what. I didn't get many recipes for this, but I'll try to forge ahead. I'll pull some stuff off the forums and from my abundance of recipes (I collect cookbooks). I'll come up with something and let ya know :cursing:

Make it somewhere warm, then.

I'm in! I actually got all dressed to go run yesterday and got outside and it was raining. Duh. LOL

I did it!!! I showed up tonight figuring on telling them I'd try it for a few minutes to see how I do. It's a co-ed team and some of those guys are really big and GOOD. However, it didn't work out that way. They play 4 girls and 4 guys on the field and at game start there were only 4 girls there, including me. So I had to START. EEEK! I played about 25 minutes before someone came and subbed me out. Out of 80 minutes, I probably ended up playing about 70 of them. Running almost the entire time, up and down up and down. I do NOT run. I have not run in YEARS. Like... 20 of them!! I'm as stubborn and competitive as I am out of shape, though, so I think it all worked out. I didn't do anything remarkably good, but I didn't do anything atrociously bad, either. And I didn't die of a heart attack, have an asthma attack, break a bone, or die. So I consider it a success. LOL I will DEFINITELY be doing it again! It was soo fun!!! I highly recommend it. There were girls out there (not on my team but on the other) way bigger than me, so that made me feel a little better, too. :woot: I'm going to be SORE tomorrow though! LOL

If you were sliming 10 times and PBing, you are probably swollen as hell! My dr recommends 24 hours of clear liquids after a PB to let that go down.

Oh believe me, when I'm doing my thing I don't want kids around, either. There was one screaming in the waiting room at the dr yesterday and I about lost my mind. If I wanted to hear that I could have stayed home. :biggrin:

This will actually be my 3rd fill. Hoping its the magic one! My first tapered off fast, the second one lasted about a month. Hopefully this will last longer, I hate this drive!!

OMG I'm so happy to be driving down for my fill today. When I got this last one 6 weeks ago it was ALMOST perfect. Sadly, it tapered off about 2 weeks ago and I've managed to pack back on 5 pounds from my lowest weight! ACK! I know it will fall right back off, but ugh, this is not the way I'm supposed to be going. I even ate TWO sloppy joes the other night. And though I haven't PB'd, I've come close twice, both times on a hamburger bun. So, I know when THAT is going down it's definitely fill time. It's a 3 hour drive each way to the dr, so it really takes up my whole day, but I'm SO ready!

Not yet, but I'm totally freaked about it. My hair is already SUPER thin. I really can't afford to lose a single strand. Yikes.

I hope you're right. I'm definitely still flexible. In shape, hell to the no. :wub:

So, back in high school, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I played soccer. Pretty intensely, like not just for the school. I played on city league in the fall, school in the spring, and indoor in between. Of course, that was four score and 600 pounds ago. I haven't played since then. Now, my soccer life revolves around coaching 8 year olds and being frustrated on the sidelines. I like to lament that I can't play because I'm fat and I'm fat because I can't play. Of course that's not true, but I like my excuses. Anyway, today I had a (photography) client dad that said he plays on the over 35 rec league. He was probably 2 of me and somehow I managed to say "they take fatties?" in a way that didn't offend him (I must have a way with words). He said no, it was fine, they are very laid back, etc. Fast forward an entire hour and I'm on the soccer field coaching my daughter. The other coach also plays on an adult league but he's like super intense and scary. I told him I was considering taking it up again and he got all excited and told me that his team is co-ed, they're definitely looking for more women and the game is Saturday at 5. Um... what the hell did I just agree to??? He could plainly see I'm not in shape, so I guess that's not an issue, but holy crap. I'm going to need to run - without a bear chasing me for motivation. oh my.

no, Patti, that's a panini. HUGE difference. LOL

Probably TMI here, but UGH. I already have major raw going on under my pannus. I still have 60lbs to lose, I can't get PS yet! UGH! I guess it's a good opportunity to go to the dr and start complaining about it so insurance will pay later? I'm NOT in the mood to put up with THIS all summer!

I'm here! I check in a few times a day, I guess I should start posting when I'm here. lol

That's how I feel exactly! I'm losing, just really slow. But I like that I can eat what my family is eating. I just wish I couldn't eat as much of it. LOL

I've just had 2 fills and have 4cc in 10cc band. I feel like I have almost perfect restriction. I might like it a TAD tighter, but I'm close. I can't eat hardly anything in the morning, a little more at lunch and then dinner I can eat quite a bit. Nothing has gotten stuck, but I do get some not so friendly reminders sometimes. I can eat anything, bread, rice, chicken, etc. Which is good. I'm afraid if I get that touch of fill I think I need, that will end. So I'm torn. At this point I'm losing, so I'm just running with it. :rolleyes2:

I was pulling up some vines in our front garden one year when I disturbed a bee hive. My daughter had been walking back and forth helping me relocate some perennials, so I knew she'd be coming back that way soon (she was 7). I ran toward the backyard to head her off. Just as we got to the back store, a bee stung me - right on the ass! (that thing followed me!!) I ran in the house screaming to dh "get it out of my butt! get it out of my butt!" He, of course, had no idea what I was going on about. It must be a wild ride being married to me.

I am defintiely with you on the Grand Canyon thing. We went to NC on vacation and dh and the kids climbed to the top of this lighthouse. I was SURE one of the kids was going to get too close to the edge and fall off. I couldn't even look up and wave to them because I was damn near hysterical.

Indeed.

Oh wow, yeah your face is MUCH thinner!!!

"you people" OMG hate that. So condescending.

It hurts, but I'm not sure it's as bad as labor. Does that help? LOL

Can I just say that I hate the live episode? The screaming audience got on my nerves big time! lol I'm happy with both winners, though. I'd have bet the farm on it being Trent and Roger. I think my biggest WOW was Jackie! She looked AMAZING! I think I related best to her because she was older and she had my kind of attitude. I was sad when she got voted out.
