Hey Everybody, I've been reading for an hour. My batteries about to go dead. I went camping for Easter. We had a good time. I'm trying to type while my new kitty attacks the curser. She's a hoot!! Monday was my birthday. I got a ring from my new favorite store Kohls. We have one in Baton Rouge. I tell ya, if ya ain't been there ya need to check it out, it rocks. Lynette if ya read this I got the Citrine ring from the Princess Alexandria collection. 50% off plus another 15% off. While camping I realized I am going to have to serve myself the regular size and then let my DH finish the grub or people talk. "Are ya sure ya gonna eat all that?" "Ya sure that bite of hamburgers gonna be enought?" "What da hells da matter wit you, you sick or something?" "Finally decided to diet, fatass?" No I just joking, but they did ask questions, next time I'll fix a regular looking serving.

We must keep sp. ed. until they are 17. They have an alternative school if they are caught with drugs, a weapon, or commit SERIOUS bodily injury (it would require a hospital stay). Our region is under corrective action for suspending too many sp.ed. kids. They are scared to get sued. Sped children are running our schools.

I hate this f....ing hell hole. I was in a good mood before I got here. Thank God it's Fri. cause I sure wouldn't be here tom. if it wasn't. I already wrote out 7 suspension, while being interrupted for some pain in the ass every freaking 5 mins. NCLB- where do I freakin start. What does it mean to us. It means we can only suspend a special ed. child 10 days out of school a year. By sp. ed I do not mean sweet little Johnny with down syndrome or little Lisa who is learning disabled. I mean Bob the criminal, dope head, who is 17 in the 8th grade and hits someone or curses every other day. Imagine having to go to school with that when you were in 8th grade. Would you have been afraid. Think Bob's gonna use the ed. we try to give him? It also means as a teacher you are held responsible because Tim who smokes weed with his mom before school is not learning properly. Please God give me the strength to make it through this day. 2:20 please

I think the plastic surgeon said he has to take 1lb out of each for the insurance to pay. Janet - if you can't get the reduction you can get tatoo's of nipples where there supposed to me. LOL

Brandy - Breast Reductions are covered by insurance, I'm not paying for it. If it's not covered, I'm not doing it.

Bethgrove - I like the shopping channels. Dr. Rey, the plastic surgeon from VH1, has a new line of lingerie on HSN. You can get a slimming body suit type strapless thingie. Ruby - I'm taking the 20lbs challenge. I exercised yesterday, I was sweating like a pig! Brandy - Thanks for the concern about the gyno. I'm going this year, I swear! I just have always told myself, I'll go when I lose weight, but I never did. Weight has kept me from doing a lot. I will not let anyone see me in a bathing suit. I'll wear pants when everyone's in shorts. When I weighed 135, I did the same thing. I thought I was fat. If I looked like that now, what bathing suit? I'd be naked, A LOT!!!!!! Janet - and others who have lost 70 plus lbs, you gals are truly inspirations. :biggrin: Every day when I read your replies, I'm so jealous of your loss, and soooo inspired. Janet, you exercise like a fiend, girl I wish I had half your will power and dedication. Do you realize how healthy you are now? :smile2:

Marcy - Dats too cold for me honey child. I'll check out your web site. I went to the plastic surgeon yesterday. I am now waiting for insurance approval. They made it sound like it wouldn't be a problem. The kept asking what size bra i where. I said the biggest double d I can find. The last thing the nurse did was take pictures of the girls. She said your definitely not a double d. I told the dr. I wanted to pay cash for a tummy tuck if i get the reduction. He was agains't it. He said i should wait until i lose all the weight and get a full body lift. That's not what he called it, but I can't remember. I don't really want to do that, plus I would have to pay cash for it. What would that cost me 20 thousand or more. I just want the hanging tummy lessened. I told him I will never look good in a bathing suit, I never did. He said you'll change your mind. He said, "I'll make you a deal, if you lose another 20lbs before the reduction, we'll talk about the TT."

Hello Everyone, I'm on a quick work break. We got an above ground pool put halfway in the ground last week. I'm helping DH put in the fence post, the bird house, cutting back all my rose bushes, washing clothes, and I gotta go start supper. Ruby - I suggest using a blow dryer on the area after bathing. It help me with rashes. Peaches- I hope you Mom is O.K. One bite of egg mcmuffin wouldn't go down for me Nichole - Good Luck with the teaching degree. Math is the best choice, my opinion. If I could go back, I would NEVER have chosen this career path. However, that is ONLY because of where I live. I'm sure it's great elsewhere. Karri - Sales!!! Whaa Whoo, Only weightloss is better. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the plastic surgeon at 2:00. I am mortified. From T.V., I have learned that I will have to stand in front of him naked. I don't even do that for my husband. NO ONE sees me naked. :thumbdown: I haven't been to the gyno in at least 8 years. OMG, I'm freakin out. :eek: I may have to take a couple of Xanex. Yes thats what I'll do, I'll get my DH to bring me and I'll take a nerve pill.

Jackie - Congrats on the new clothes. Brandi - Welcome back, Where at in Florida? My brother came over a little while ago. I haven't seen him since before surgery. The first thing he said was, "You lost weight." I'm wondering does it show, or did someone in the family tell him? I just doesn't seem like a big difference yet. Maybe cause I see me everyday. My OH magazine came in today. In it there is a picture of a woman who weighed about the same as me. I looked at the picture and almost cried, damn, I was that freakin big? I haven't lost that much, I'm I still that freakin big?

Linda - What were your symptoms before you went for the unfill? I hope everything goes back where it belongs and stays there. Janet - I went back a few pages to find where ya'll were talking about Linda's symptoms. I didn't find it, but I did see my last post was about your plumbing problem. I had none then, but I think you put a GrisGris on me. OMG, today was the worst problem I've ever had see the birth of my first child. :cursing:I haven't had that problem in months. What da hell? I'm thinking about drinking 1/4 cup of olive oil for the rest of my days.

Hey Everybody, I haven't been on in a couple of days. I am reading quickly before I leave from work. Karri - I printed your lesson, I'll read it at home. Janet - Size? I can't see my feet, I buy the biggest double D I can find. Your first plateau? You are very lucky. The last 20lbs is going to be the hardest. My scale finally started moving again!! It's about freakin time. You know if you don't eat any fat, it's gonna stop up the plumbing. And that reminds me.... On our Wed. night news, we always have Weight Loss Wed. Well last Wed. they had 5 doctors who all agreed that studies have proven Omega 3's enhance weight loss. Make sure you are getting your fish oil daily. It is also good for heart and joints. I bought some emulsified liquid mint flavor FO at Whole Foods. It ain't bad. It reminds me of the Cod Liver Oil tablets my Mom used to make me take. Steph - You fell on your head. OMG, OMG, that's freaking terrifying. I sometimes imagine what I would do if I fell. Like remember how we could just fall when we were younger, no problem, like when we went skating. Well I won't skake now, I terrified to fall. OMG, I hope you feel better. I'm shaking just thinking about it. I also have the back rolls,always did, big freakin love handles. I loathe them. It's the part of my body I HATE the most. I squeeze them and wish I could pull them off. Phyl - Glad to here your Aunt's doing better. Well, I'm leaving work now. Oh, I forgot. I have a huge hole dug in my yard. I bought an above ground 12x24 pool. I'm getting a guy to put it in the ground sticking out 16 inches. We have to build a deck around it. He's putting it in Mon. I have waited 20 years for this. My husband always said no way. Well now I make the bucks, I want it, I paid someone to do it, and if DH don't like I really don't care.

Stephanie - Over the head? Gosh I always thought everyone just did it the same way. I like the Cottage Cheese Doubles by Breakstone. You can get, blueberry, strawberry, pine, or rasp. My daughter loves the Ellip. I think it looks too much like climbing stairs, it looks like it would be rough on the knees. Brandy - Great Job!! I wish I was there. I made two appointments today. I can't figure out the hives on my own. I give up. This morning they were horrific. Appt. next Thurs. I also made an appt. with Plastic Sur. I may get a breast reduction this summer.

I don't get to check this site that often. Since my Mom lives here, we had to move the computer into my son's room. He wants me out. I log on at work, but I get nervous that they are monitoring me. I need to get a lap top.

Kari - So sorry you had a bad BD, and once again I'm late with the wishes. Happy Late Birthday!!!! Still 4 degrees outside? Son of a @#&*!! When it was 30 here, I was dying, and walking around saying, "There's no way in hell I'll ever live in the cold." I freakin hate it. I'll probably change my tune when I'm melting this summer. Salsa - I love your list! Brandy - 150 WOW, Fantastic!!! Phyl - I hope your Aunt gets better. All my Aunts and Uncles are getting up there in age. My Dad had 16 siblings. Congratulations on the undies. I could tell you would be shopping from your picture. Everything got a lot smaller. Janet - I am also a front hooker, then spin it to the back, just like Mommie showed me. I have also passed the knowledge on to my girl. I thought everyone did it that way. People actually hook in the back? What the? Oh, and my gymsuit was blue, and my Mommie embroidered my name on the leg. I still have it. Peaches and Jackie, Hope ya'll are feeling better! I got a small fill last Thurs. I am really restricted now. I am barely eating, and I am barely losing weight. I'm the slowest one on here. What the hell? This is really frustrating. I wish I wouldn't have told anyone about my band. I don't want the judging.

:regular_smile::confused::tt1: I have to go back and read cause I don't know what da hell you gals are talking about. I've been absent a while. When I have days off, I sleep late. Question - This morning I woke up at 4:00am because my chest (stomach) hurt. It hurt bad, bad enough to wake me up. I drank a little water and the pain lessened. This is not the first time this happens, this pain has woken me up before. It has also happened to a lesser degree during the day if I haven't been drinking enough. Does anyone get this pain? It is scary.
