i found if i ate less than 1000 calories - i stalled. i don't treat Protein shakes/smoothies as Meal Replacements, rather Snacks....sometimes i want one for Breakfast, or late at night - but i make sure i'm getting a good balance of lean protein/good carbs/fruit & veggies in throughout the day. everyday is not perfect - but more so than not. with weight training - i find i'm hungry more on those days vs just cardio days. can't explain it - but i've never had to worry getting in food , rather still watch what i eat. like changing up your exercise - you might want to change up your meals ...

yikes...:thumbsup: ebony - beth is right; go for it. i just finished pt semester of law school last wk and i did not enjoy. then again, i expect to be judge judy right away.....still deciding if i want to go back.

heavy pancake makeup - mayo has it come off in one full swoop. i can say the same about religious zealots.

holy crap i thought the same thing after beth's post. i lived w/a DQ for 6 months - and let me tell you she/he got LOTS of attention - very beautiful. gosh that was ages ago, strange tip - they take their make up off w/mayo..???

oh WOW - i think i'll pass looking that one up....:thumbsup:

i think it's hillarious, the spokes idgit for marriage has a past....LOL. goodness everyone has a PAST. honestly she looked better w/out the new boobs - but hey that's me.... i heard on the news this AM that the pagent officials in CA are wanting her precious crown not just for the racy pictures, but because she broke the rules by speaking out for causes w/out permission. not sure what that actually means, i personally think they're going out of their way to dump her for her answer to the gay marriage question & i don't think that's necessarily fair.

just in case anyone is wondering - you can get stuck on coffee while reading PTJP thread....oh my. congrats babygirl!!!! hey slim -having MIL over for mothers day????? :thumbsup:

my dr suggested that i have a glass of skim milk before bed, when i complained of starving in the evening...?? worked some or it was all in my head like the hunger???? yesterday b- mocha latte shake l- 4 chicken pot stickers s- handful of wasabi peas d- bowl white bean/chicken chili s- pineapple spear

mine does stick out - under left breastbone. do i like it - no, doesn't stop me from wearing a bikini though:)

they had to be significant. i have arthritis and that wasn't even a consideration. my husband was banded w/me and he too was denied (under 40 bmi) with high blood pressure * sleep apnea. i would call your insurance company and get a copy of the policy as it pertains to weight loss surgery. in my opinion, if they can get away not paying for the surgery - they will.. btw - i had blue cross. we switched insurances at my husband's next open enrollment and now have UHC & they cover everything band related even though we went self pay.

i had a bmi of 36 and was denied. my insurance required for those w/a bmi under 40 have 2 comorbidities - which i did not have. i went self pay. good luck to you!

that's great catherine - congrats!

LOLOLOL i use the term "africa hot" all the time, typically describing texas in august...

packing/moving is exercise glouc!!! & lots of it. yesterday - nothing today - 20min on bike (3.2 miles) slugging it; trip/bicep/shoulder routine

same here, what's weird is i get random PM's or posting to my profile page for me to post before/afters. umm - NO. my mug w/sun glasses on is about all i'll do - not showing fat pics, i was & now not. if your on FB you can see my warts...:laugh: g4e - glad all is well & safe. ebony - i'm constantly cold, DH called me just a few minutes ago to let me know that i have issues putting on the seat heaters in 85 degree weather. i like toasty buns is all:):cool2:

yeah - i could care less gay/straight.....she gets results. anyone noticed how deflated bob was last night - his only hope = ron...LOL i'm wondering if he's gone next season (after getting spanked the last 3)??? i notice jillian on the today show every wk & bob seems to have taken a quiet step backwards.

fine...i'll add: every morning i launch lbt, get the pictures people post to the right. a lot of people like to post their newly banded stomach.......just don't get that. figured we needed a new topic other than weather....

yesterday b - egg muffin (1 egg/pancetta/peper jack cheese) l- 1 beef empanada / small cup tortilla soup d- half cucumber w/hummus

jillian is 35, 5'2 & is 115-120lbs.....that's an athlete & i'd kill for those arms!

big business has moved many operations over to india/singapore - at least in the tech world for quite some time. ie: customer service/help desk/etc. the better argument is can he bring those jobs "back"...?? and i for one would have no problem w/tax relief for those companies who do so.

sometimes i only get one hot bite - so i'm good w/that one being my meal...LOL poor taste - yes malpractice - no

:smile::tt2: i can't handle the cold. didn't get 90, but DH has had the ac on for days... he keeps the house at 62 & i've got a sweater on w/shorts & tee. i threatened to light a fire if he didn't turn that S^(T down tonite!

i'm a stomach sleeper - but for several wks afterwards i was not able to. i got a body pillow (bbb) and it really helped me ease back into sleeping on my tummy.

just ONCE i would like to take a bite like that..., just once. i will admit i really miss sometimes chomping down on something tasty - but i like my pants size now more...... so i live with it.

yep bad joke - poor taste, my opinion.
