    I personally have never been denied the use of my card. We have dined at Chef Mickey's, Whispering Canyon, and The Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch. I was charged the kids price each time. Another good place is Wolfgang Puck's at Downtown Disney. I either eat the filling out of a sandwich, or the toppings from a pizza. They also have an amazing grilled chicken salad with their signature dressing.
    I only live 2 1/2 hours from the parks, and last year we had Florida Resident passes, we went fairly often, and I was able to save some $$ with my dining card, and had a blast.

    I would join. I had 8 miserable years with Pandora (my band). She was named that because I never knew what I would be able to eat or not.

    When you try on a size 4 and they fall off, same with a size 2. I got into a size 0 today. Does that mean I no longer exist?

    My name is Mandy I have been in contact with Alex and I will be working with the Jacksonville chapter for local support meetings. We are working to have the first meeting in June. Please feel free to give me your best times/days so I can try to make this is accessible as possible. I will be talking to St. Vincent's Riverside today about using their meeting room. Also let me know if there are any particular guest speakers you would like to see. I'm thinking about a healthy cooking demo, maybe some plastic surgery seminars, I have someone that can help you pick out the correct workout/running shoes and he will offer discounts at his sales location. Any other requests? I figure I will talk to the local hospitals and see if they will allow us to host in their conference rooms, and we can either rotate areas or if there is a good central area we can make it a set monthly location.

    I met my husband at a bowling alley. I was there with friends, and he was there with co-workers. I told one of my male friends not to sit next to me, I didn't want the good looking guy to think I was taken. LOL Turns out my guy friend had worked with the guys I pointed to, and walked over to talk to them. I wanted to crawl under the table, as my bff has no brain to mouth filter (why we are besties) and I had no clue what he was saying. He pointed my direction, and I lifted the drink menu over my face like I was soooooo interested in the beer specials. What he was actually doing was showing them where were were sitting. When they finished their "team building exercise" several of them joined us on our lane for the next few hours of bowling, drinking and just a general good time. 3 of those guys asked for my number, only one was interested the other 2 were planning on telling him I had asked them to pass the # on to him. He called me a few days later and we started seeing each other for odd dates, I worked nights and he did daytime retail management, so time was limited. This was in Feb of 2000, I got hurt at work in late April, and he very kindly offered to come and sleep on the sofa and help take care of me. When I returned to work 6 weeks later, I asked if he was leaving or if he wanted a key. He took the key, and a few weeks later told me that we needed to talk. I thought for sure he was moving out and breaking up with me. He told me that he had never seen me wear jewelry so he didn't know my taste, he got down on one knee and proposed. We were married that Oct, in a bowling Alley (where else?) and have been together for 14 years this year. He's not a knight in shining armor, but he's also not a retard in a tin foil hat either. He is the father of my only child, my best friend, and the one person that I never have to doubt when it comes to having my back. Like Forest Gump says "we are like peas and carrots" he has always dated bigger girls, so I was a little worried when I started getting thinner. Just a few weeks ago he told me that I look amazing, and he is proud of my weight loss, and the fact that I did this to get healthy for myself, and our family.
    I said all of that to say this, I had planned to get a few beers and bowl a few games with my friends that night and met my future husband. I wasn't looking for anyone and he just dropped into my life. Sometimes the dating sites, looking too hard makes you walk past the one that you should have seen. Best of luck to those getting back into the dating scene.

    piercedqt78 got a reaction from Heather Feather in If there was a Class Action Lawsuit against the band....   
    I asked the questions about long term results, and my surgeon (one of the major docs on the FDA trial studies) stated that it had been in use in Europe for a long time, and it was permanent. He went over the possible complications, but also reassured me they were very rare, and the longer out the lower the complication rate. Now I'm seeing more and more people that are 5+ years out and having serious issues. I was also not told that having an empty band (several surgeries in a 2 year period) could lead to more severe slippage. Since I tend to get the dry-heaves from pain meds and being put under.

    piercedqt78 got a reaction from VSGAnn2014 in Ladies, what do you consider your ideal dress size ?   
    I'm 5'4 and have gone from a 22/24 to a 0/2 or an small to extra small depending on the cut and fabric. I LOVE being able to go to thrift stores and find amazing vintage dresses that actually fit. I went out with my family today to Celebrate Mother's Day early, since we have other things going on tomorrow and I wore a small from forever21. I also just bought a pair of walking shorts from Victoria Secrets in a size 0 and they fit. I thought I would faint when I tried them on. My plan was to put them up for after my plastics, but they fit NOW!!!! I'm not sure what size I will wear after plastics. It's a running joke in my family that I can shop in the kids section, not Jr's, but actual kids and I will look like an 8 year old after plastics.
    I'm getting tattoo'd and the shop gives out t-shirts to clients, even the small was like a night shirt on me. I took the med (the design was bigger) and I'm going to chop it up and tie it down the back or sides. I want to advertise the amazing shop, but not ask them to order me an xs, since my artist is 6'7 he already calls me tiny or short stuff, I don't want to just toss gas on that flame. he jokes that he has burritos bigger than me for dinner.
    My original goal was single digit sizes, but as the weight loss continued I adapted to my new body. I did go to a higher end store and worked with a personal shopped to help me with proper fit and sizing.

    I do the hot tea thing. I have gotten some really strange looks when ordering a hot tea when it's 90 outside. I also do Decaf coffee when we go out. I have even started to carry a tea bag or two with me when I go out just in case they only have crap tea to offer. ~Mandy

    piercedqt78 got a reaction from joannct1t in North Florida clothing size 10/12   
    I have a fairly large box of clothes that are now too big for me. It's 95% casual clothing, jeans, dresses and a few tops. The box is stuffed full of clothing. It's about 12x14x18 and the clothes are piled so full that I can't close the box. If anyone would like to pick them up, or meet up somewhere in the clay county area, they are yours for the taking.
