Thank you DrewsLou for agreeing to be my sub. I know that Photonut was banned but not until last week. And Dawg is still on here so I don't know what happened, he could have taken over for her. All of the other banned members in that whole mess of a situation who participated managed to stay with their promises. Even 3love hubby supported it! (kudos to him for helping her) I just want to remind EVERYONE for the upcoming Halloween Secret Pumpkin event (hint hint Kat) that you should NOT sign up if you don't intend to participate!!! No matter WHAT happens there are still responsibilities to others. Just a horrible thing to do tp someone. Again, thanks Drewslou! Those subs can save the day for those of you that are totally incompetant and irresponsible!

Anyone have little ol' me?

Obviously no one read my postings and really thought about WHY we are all doing this. Sometimes you can't just spin your wheels on things. Oh well.... I tried. But I won't give up on you all. I am here for anyone that wants to use me as their sounding board. I have thick skin (not as thick as it used to be but still thick)

Sorry to hear of your experience. Do you have plans for another surgery or will you try it on your own for awhile. Some experiences are great in Mexico and some are downright horrible for sure. It is definitely the luck of the draw and a gamble in my opinion. I wish you well and hope you have success in your journey in the future.

Well, actually, the reason why the "moderators" failed to protect you is because some of those names you mentioned are not Lisa but someone ELSE who happens to be a moderator and I know this as a fact. Lisa just took the fall for it really. I am not saying she is perfect but I do know that she doesn't roll over on her "friends" because she took the punishment without giving up the other people involved until she had been stepped on so badly. Still, I stand by my advice. WHY are they doing it. WHAT do they need from us.

That is FANTASTIC!! I remember my first 15 and I literally cried and cried. Almost as hard as when I stepped on the scale before banding and was my heaviest ever. It feels great doesn't it? KEEP IT UP!!!

www.smartphonethoughts.com check out their forum of ideas, rants/raves, praises etc....

Let's think about WHY someone is so misreble and nasty then?!?!?!? Haven't we all been there at some point? Haven't we all felt like the world is against us or were we all just fat jolly people? C'mon.... let's reach OUT to those who need us, rather than slamming a hand up in their faces.

:eek: I think I have been stiffed by my working class stiff. No package today and no more mail until after Labor Day.

Love BB and thank goodness for TIVO! I tried the Live Feed once but was bored. So now I just read the forums and watch the TV. I am a reality TV show junkie. I hope Will wins. He is a MASTER manipulator!

Okay, on a serious note now..... Personalities clash. That is the way of the Titans. When there are strong and independent personalities that are all struggling. If anything, I have empathy for all of the parties involved. Because I know we are all hurting so much on a common subject (fat) yet we can't come together to support each other in our journey. I have been victim of the clash months ago, but I realize that we all have lives with different problems that build on our biggest issue (fat). We all have lived with that pain for so very long. We all have endured different embarrassments and ridicule. Why do we convey that ridicule onto other people? Why do we call names when we have hated name calling most of our lives? Why is it that we feel others must suffer if we are suffering? It is the nature of the beast that is on each of our backs. THINK people! No one is to blame. We are all here for a common reason. And each of us brings more than just the fat to this board. Rather than blame ANYONE, let's try to figure out the other issues and reach out to it. No, I am not trying to be Mother Theresa or some martyr just trying to make sense of my own "fat world" I have lived in. I am trying to make sense of other people's "fat world". And I am trying to learn to survive in both worlds. Maybe what we SHOULD be doing rather than banning anyone is figuring out our own intervention techniques to help the person that is stuggling. Don't condemn just because you know how it feels. Don't pass judgement when judgement has been handed to you. Reach out and try and intervene and maybe YOU can make a difference in just one of those "worlds" ya know? Do I sound crazy? Because just thinking in those terms (something I didn't use to do) makes me FEEL crazy. But at the same time, I have those around me helping me. For so long, we were "fat independent". We have a chance to be surrounded by those that are also trying to work things out. Are we all so self destructive by nature that we can't even hold our tongues and our inner hatreds and anger to let other people become part of our worlds? Philosophical? Maybe. Just my opinion on things right now. Do any of you realize that these posts are getting more views and postings than those that are coming on the board to tell us they LOST their band??? Come on people.... EVERYONE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FAT INFESTED, CALORIE COUNTING, SUGAR INDUCED DOUGHNUTS!!!

Mine does when I eat. It's a little gross actually. But never has been a "problem" for me. I just won't eat a lot when wearing my string bikini!

The tortoise wins in the end. Also, just to be on the safe side, is she "eating around" the band. Many of us do (we are creatures of eating disorders ya know).

A box of old books. FREE! at a garage sale.

Just a note everyone.... the group rate is extended to the very tippy top last date of September 31st for last minute cruisers. For you solo people, I can try but can't guarantee a roomie. But give me a shot at trying. I won't take your deposit until I find you one! We would have to see how many people wanted to go single. For those of you traveling with a friend or a hubby we have cabins!!!! So PM me ASAP with the info I need from the original post. Let's go cruisin'!!!

Oh man, the husband would be much better than the shoes, but if I have to settle at least I can borrow the shoes!

Aren't you buying clothes yet? Geeesh, I started last month!

Since the bands can be bought for about .75 cents a piece with the engraving of your choice in the bulk then where is the profit going? Are you going to donate the profit you are making to a cause?

Welcome back Bones.

As a low BMI, no surgeon here would do it. They told me to gain 40 lbs and come back. Uhhhh, no thanks. So I went to Mexico.

Barbara, I am glad you liked them! Oh and your hint... ummmm, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that one!

Still bumping.
