Becky... Thanks for getting my banana's in there...LOL I'll take bananas every week. Hell thats 52 pound in a year. Theresa...Hey MY LADY even if you don't lose let us know. No one is going to be lossing every week. Just stay with us here.

Reason God gave us two ears Whipple.. In one out the other..

Pictures Please Becky Here is a reason why we exercise: How come when you mix water and flour together you get glue.. and then you add eggs and sugar... and you get cake? Where did the glue go? NEED AN ANSWER? You know damn well where it went! That's what makes the cake... Stick to your butt....

Go for it. LOL Belly dancing is some workout...

Penni, Just two pounds lol I put 262 pounds on my legs and went out to walk my three miles and I decided to increase it another mile. So now that I have went and done that I'll have to do the 4 miles everyday. geez louise what was I thinking

Your absolutely right (as always) DeLarla. A pound is a pound of pure ugly when it comes to fat.So I change that from I only lost a pound this week to " One pound of fat has left the building"

I'm here fresh from the Sleep Center and down 1 more pound. So its 68 pounds now. Cheated for the first time this weekend and it wasn't the Halloween candy either. New week new start

Lauri as a retired cop(traffic officer) I can tell you from personal experience that that fast driving thing is a female trait LOL. Watch cops./.. the only ones who ever get away from the helicopters are the females . Prayers and best wishes to you and your family. We here a proud to have you as a friend. Keep us posted. Geez I'm probaly in trouble now with all me female friends(or former friends ) here.

I got to stop rading this thread. costco getting rich on my purchases of Kleenex. The most courage people in the universe are here. God Bless each and everyone of you and May his Brightness get the Darkness from your days.

Well I slept very well at the Center last nite. Got up for one little tinkle and went right back to sleep. See my Nuerologist on Nov 15 for results. Every since I had been put on the C-PAP I never had trouble with it until I lost 60 pounds. Now the pressure is to high and it keeps me up. I can adjust the pressure(ramp it they call it). It drops to 8 pounds from the 15 pounds its set for. Over the next 30 mins it allows me to fall asleep and I stay that way for 2-3 hours then I start fighting with it. If I reach over and tap the ramp switch it goes back to 8 pounds and starts over again. My masks are no problem I wear the over the nose one and I have a mustache but it seals just fine. Mask has always been comfortable. But then I never had any trouble sleeping. I can sleep sitting , standing, laying down. Sleep while working driving (lol) and some times while at the compu.....zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ

Kyleigh, What an honor to have you represent the band in that add. You've done a great job. Keep it up (or should I say down) lol

Ty all for the encouragement... I'll be leaving soon to head to sleep Center for the re-test. Gosh I hate being hooked up to all those wires. Lucky the girls that work there are cute. LOL Will get the results on Nov. 15 and I'm hoping I'm done with this C-PAP. Was a God send when I got it but I fight with it now when I sleep and its doing the same thing to me the Sleep Apnea did. Keeps waking me up. Oh well. Later all and again TY

Ty Kathy Knew I could trust you to stay quiet. lol

NY LAPSTERGo to Genereral discussions and look up thread called The Moment. Read that and after you have you'll se your in the right place here.

Way to go Michelle...See I told you your going to like this. Betty fill me in without telling anyone else I'm dense whats NSV

I go to the sleep center On Halloween night to be re-tested. They think I have dropped enough weight to either have my C-PAP pressure reduced from 15 pounds to 8 pounds or come off the C-Pap altogether. I am worried about coming off altogether due to when I was found to have the disorder the nuerologist who did my study showed me that I stopped breathing 477 times in the 8 hour sleep. He told me I vertually was not sleeping and just a few months away from death at this rate. Thank God my wife ratted to the Dr about my restlessness at nite. I had no idea I was doing it. Just knew I was tired all the time. The C-PAP was the best thing that happended to me until the Lapband. Now I may be able to sleep nites normally on my own. We will see. Wish me luck (and a good sleep)

Kim, Margie has put it very well. Bith the heart and stomach want.. Heart wants health stomach wants food. Never bring the heart to the Stomach's level bring the stomach in line with the heart. You can and will do it. Once you see the results you will be able to control that darn ole stomach. Just read the stories here its so amazing and heartening to see all that have overcome. The other side awaits you with open arms sister. Come on in the Water is fine. Suits optional LOL

Lisa, What you think I can't move this wheel chair fast enough to catch you..smart alec. lol

Lisa If I add my own two cents but only get a penny for my thoughts...What happens the other penny?????

In the Beginning... In the beginning...God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, with green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme. And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that?" And Man said: "Yes!" And Woman said: "I'll have one too, with sprinkles." And, lo, they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane,and combined them. And Woman went from size 2 to size 14. So God ! said: "Try my fresh green garden salad." And Satan presented crumbled Bleu cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said: "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut shrimp, butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak--so big it needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities ofsalt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?" And Man replied: "Yes! And super-size 'em!" And Satan said: "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed...and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then...Satan chuckled and created HMO

Lainie, I slept on my port first nite and ever nite since. The other day I was at Home Depot picking up supplys and I leaned over to get an item out ot he bottom of the cart and it rolled forward and I landed on edge of cart right on the port. I almost panic thinking I tore it from the muscle. But as it turns out the embarasment of almost falling on my butt was worse then the pain to the port area.. It survived and it did take almost all of the 263 pounds of me right on it.

I got a pm from michelle yesterday. She was doing great. Told me she was up and around in her room shortly after my visit. She appears to be pretty happy about the experiance and I will let her tell it when she comes on. She stayed at her dads for a few days. Michelle we're all waitng to hear from you.

Ok I believe you;)
