So how'd the sex turn out - was it a good "workout"??? YEA BABY!

OMG I nearly fainted after DeLarla's bill! Over $100,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you going to have to file for bankruptcy?Whoops - just fainted again!

When my boyfriend quit smoking over a year ago he was sooo moody and irrational since he had smoked since he was 8 or 9 - so 20 years of smoking. He did not leave the house or go out with me in public for like 3-4 months! Even if there was a cigarette on TV - he'd flip the channel even if we were in the middle of a program. One night I came home so mad at him because I had won free tickets to a comedy club off the radio and was soo excited about it - but he had only been smoke free for a short time - he never was man enough to say he wasn't strong enough to go into a smoking environment yet. Instead he made me think he was just being an A-hole for saying he didn't want to go so I scrounged all night and found a friend to go with me but after I'd been thinking all night about how he ditched me on something that would have been so much fun - I came home all hopped up and mad going off on him about what a bad boyfriend he was to make me go alone until I found a friend at the last minute and only then did he really confess that he couldn't handle being in public around smokers yet. It took a good 4 months before his moodiness finally settled down - I didn't think we were going to make it though it! Its so hard and your a good woman to stick by him Delarla! I've been there too!

My scale cusses at me! I just can't hear it because its covered by a big long edited BEEEEEPPPPPP like when they cover up cuss words in movies & music!!!!!!! I stand on the scale and it gives me my weight - then it tries to calculate my body fat % and the numbers start spinning like a slot machine and finally it gives up and just gives me an ear piercing BEEEEPPPPPP!!! When really underneath the BEEP I swear if I listen closely I can hear it say DAMN BI*CH YOUR TOO BIG! GET OFF ME! I curse back with a grunted F*CK YOU and toss him back in the dark closet for punishment until the next time! If I can ever get the scale to act like he should and keep moving the numbers down then he can earn his stay out with the other good gadgets in the household.

OK ok - I am so fed up with no more weight loss! Yoga and walking ain't cutting it so drum roll please...............I join Curves on Thursday which is my 1st apointment. This is a huge step as I have never belonged to a gym before in my entire life, but let me tell you what happened first. My best friend (who is slightly overweight) joined 24 Hour Fitness and so I thought it would be the perfect time to join a gym since my weight loss has been so little. I arrive at 24 Hour Fitness and I was completely overwhelmed with what stood before me. The huge parking lot was crammed with cars but I found a parking space. I got out of the car and ran into a group of young SKINNY beautiful women nearby who were finished with their workouts so I returned to my car and pretended to grab my cell phone until they pulled out. I talked to myself about how ridiculous I had just reacted and got out of the car again - this time I made it halfway up the parking lot when I just kept seeing more SLIM & SVELT (yes I just said SVELT people coming and going and I once again felt this overwhelming anxiety and returned yet once again to my car to calm down. I thought to myself this is completely ridiculous - I did not drive all this way just to chicken out. 3RD attempt - this time I made it all the way close to the front glass doors where I could see inside the massive warehouse type gym with hundreds and hundreds of machines and tons of people inside working out. The place was packed! I freaked out again and pretended to pat my pockets down like I again forgot something in the car. This time I said screw it - if I feel sooo uncomfortable and intimidated that I can't even get the courage up to walk inside and inquire about membership - how in the world was I expecting to return and do this 3-4 times a week! I knew if I chose this gym it would be a lost cause as I was dang nearing a panic attack upon entering the doors! I thought damnit I want to join a gym and do something about my pretty non-existent weight loss and that was what I had set out to do that evening. So I called information and got the number to the closest Curves near me and drove my sweet lil Camaro right on over. I walked in to find only 1 woman working out and 1 staff member at the front desk. It felt like a breath of fresh air as soon as I walked in. I knew this was something I could do. I even told the Curves staff my ordeal I just went through and she was very understanding and welcomed me with open arms. So I set my first evaluation where they measure you & show you how to do everything on Thursday.............please God let this be the answer I've been needing.

if I remember correctly the morning after pill has to be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse - but the sooner the better.

i vote BIGGEST LOSER -

wow - is this stuff good quality? is it used or something? the prices are very cheap!

I also use that new monistat chafing gel on my thigh area - it works really well because it goes on like a silky powder barier. I like it except it only comes in a small tube so if you use a lot it could get expensive I suppose.

Luna bars = GROSS! I like the high Protein slimfast peanut granola - yummy! I also would like to mention my other high protein favorites that have no been mentioned - KASHI - I have only tried one flavor so far and it was delightful! KASHI - Go Lean series packs a good 13g protein and 6g of Fiber.

I have taken the morning after pill twice in my life but not since banding. Once was several years ago in which they prescribed regular birth control pills but just had me take like 6 at a time and then the other time was about a year ago with a different doc and it was just 2 pills I had to take. I am also not on birth control and worry about an oops moment - I try to be very cautious in calculating my cycle and have been doing it for a year and 1/2 with success of noo oopses yet, but I always worry it could happen. People get pregnant on the pill too even when taken correctly. My body does not repsond well to birth control pills patches etc so I opted for natural planning but now that I have the band I worry much more so of becoming pregnant too soon without much of weight loss to show.

Oh thank you everybody! This was so nice to see Sorry I missed it as I just got back from vacation and this is the first I've been on the computer - I'm so glad I go back and read old posts!!! Thank you everyone for thinking of me - it was a rough one personally - don't make fun but turning 25 is hitting me very hard - its going too fast and I'm looking hard at the decisions in my life. You all have brightened my day and I'm backkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to throw my opinion in - I can't stand to look at her anymore because I think she looks sooo gross! That is one lady I can honestly say looked better when she was bigger. I lost all favortisim towards her with the whole wedding & weight loss deal - give me a break! She was sooo chincy when it came to the wedding - trying to get everything for free etc etc. I did see a pic of her that I thought was pretty mean - it was in one of the grocery store tabloids so I picked it up and it showed a picture of her in her bathing suit - which was cute but they were making fun of her because she had a big fat roll that could be seen overhanging a smaller fat roll - and the headline said something about how guess she needed to lose more weight! Give me a break - she needs to put some back on in my opinion. Yikes - her face scares me anymore

so whats the update?

DeLarla - I want to see your sausage butt in the sexy dress!!! I bet you still look hottttttt no matter! I think it would be good for you to post a pic and then again when you lose a few more - use it for the motivation! You are so inspiring to us all my friend!

OMG your sister is one funny lady and what a clever and joyful Christmas Letter!

it was closed yesterday when I tried several different times - but I tried today and it was open! I'll be waiting for my check!

LOL - awwwwwwww

Hmmmmm interesting - I just received a rather rude and derogatory PM from Jorjet since my last post here about her membership. Apparently she states that I butted in while I'm not a good supporter of this board and I need to find something else to do with my time this along with other things she said. Yes Jorjet I'm outing you because I really really did not appreciate that when I was trying to support you as you see above I congratulated you on your weightloss and being a good thing. By the way I didn't go doing any "research" on your banding date - its right on your signature. I will be turning that PM into a moderater. If anyone else feels that I am an unproductive member and am wasting everyone's time here then please feel free to let me know and I will go WILLINGLY. I am pretty upset about this as this is the first friction I've experienced since being here. Thanks Jorjet

Dear Jorjet, At this time you do not meet our high standards of dropping less than 1lb per week. By my calculations you were banded on April 21, 2005 and to current date that is 34 and 1/2 weeks meaning you have to have a loss of 34 1/2 lbs or less. You are far above that at your current 50lb loss. Way to go! This is excellent - if you are at a plataue then please feel free to hang out and read up on our different techniques we are continually trying to jump start our weight loss. Please join us in the future if your weight loss continues to plateua and we will be here waiting patiently for you. Of course you will have to wait for the official word from our Chairman - Live2Canoe. Hey guys - Vines, Live2Canoe, the best me, - I need a position as much of a dictator that I am - LOL - should I be the Membership Approval Officer?

Thank you for clearing this up - bye bye rabbit Carrie - thanks for being a part of us, please stick around for the support! Lovecats - sorry to be the stickler but we look forward to you joining us very soon if you need to. Your application is being kept on file - please ask for review in a few short weeks when you are eligible

I am very humbled by this nomination - I take it to heart - thank you banded_for_life. I agree - I don't think Delarla being voted the craziest does her any justice but I can't seem to think of a better one - best person your sure to have a good time with? I don't know but craziest doesn't do it. Most welcomed back definately goes for WhippleDaddy. Jack definately needs to be Man with a Tale - always enjoy his posts harrrrr! JQPUBLIC - doesn't have a band??? Where the hell have I been and why does he hang out here so much? LOL - Love him just the same he's always up for giveing a shout of encouragement. Dylansmom - I vote for most endurance - she faces her struggles head on and shares them with us often. Best Looking - I'm voting for Jonathan - he has such a sweet face!

Oh yes the waiters/waitress's sometimes don't understand even little things like a side of dressing! They NEVER remember and I always have to ask for it twice, if I DO get a waiter to remember the first time I'm more likely to give a very generous tip.

Hi, did you get my pm?

Best PB - I think I should get nominated for the I Puked On Myself thread.........geez what a thing to nominate myself for wish their was something better LOL
