  1. Good morning from Hanoi, Vietnam. As I was entering Vietnam last night, I had to go through an interrogation because I have lost so much weight, they didn't think that my passport picture was me. Annoying and flattering all at the same time!

  2. I am getting there slower but surely!!

  3. February 15th is the day I start living!

  4. It confuses me when people use the word "we" in their posts. Who are they including in their thoughts? "We are all" is even more maddening. Don't we think?

      P.S. Uh-oh, I just saw another problem far more irksome than "we."

      At times it's insulting and at other times, insipid. Now and then it's to soften the reality and to avoid an accusatory tone. There are the four "we's" that seem not to occur at BP: The editorial, the royal, the inclusive and the exclusive. Sometimes I use it myself and sometimes I do and then delete.

  6. For probably the first time in my adult life, not only did I not gain weight between Christmas and New Year - I actually lost 2.6lbs! While I did choose to stray from plan a bit, I didn't lose total control. Yeah sleeve!

  7. 15 days until my Plastics....getting a little nervous but really excited too! Cannot wait until I no longer have to stuff myself into spanks and a bra. LOL

      Dj, you'll be a champ again. The good part is that, because of the last procedure, you have an idea of what to expect. Not knowing is probably the worst. Here's to your gorgeousness.

  8. I found my adult Boy Scout uniforms and I have to say that they fit better now than they did the last time I wore them.

      You're talking about weight loss and I want to enter an aside. Somewhere around here I still have my Girl Scout pin and knife. What I wish I had is my handbook, so informative and interesting. Maybe I can find one online -- as you put it, a well-preserved treasure. My fear, though, is getting a copy and being coldly reminded that it is a children's book.

  9. The push to onederland begins again. I'm doing the Tony Garza six week fat loss challenge. If I lose 20 pounds, it's free. If I fall short, it's $350. I'm two years out, and I need a new challenge.

      You'll snap this Garza person in half like a bread stick. Rock it, Pirate.

      @theantichick -- If you're scared, don't catch up. There will be plenty more coming along before you know it. They move through here in an eddy, much like "The Waltz of the Snowflakes." Got it, @High functioning fat man?

  11. Uploaded progress photos to my gallery last night. I still think I look like crap in a sports bra and bike shorts, but I am seeing a definite change. :)

      Oh, yes, I just love the delicate, little ballet dancers swirling through 'Waltz of the Snowflakes' in 'The Nutcracker.' That must be what you mean, being that it's holiday season.

  13. Had my 18 month follow up with my surgeon yesterday. I've lost 164 pounds. He said that it's up to me if I want to keep losing weight, but he is pleased with my progress and told me to lose until I feel comfortable. I'm far from a healthy weight, so I will continue to try to lose...

      Hey, Her, fie on the surgeon. Let's hear you say that you're proud and full of yourself. I know all about not measuring up to my standards for myself. Shall we both take a vow to cut it out? It's a new year and new day.

      Her1981, think about that. Disappointed by a loss of "only" 164 lbs? C'mon, Woman, you are hot stuff and more than good enough. You are a goddess. You've been "successful" from the moment of birth! You were meant for this.

  15. When one who arguably is the worst candidate ever for WLS comes along, does one respond gently yet clearly or does one run as fast and as far as one's little legs will take her?

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      @High functioning fat man -- not exactly "help," but the usual "opinions" and, even better, something akin to "I don't understand myself, so YOU explain me to me and tell me what to do."

      @ShelterDog64 -- I wasn't quite up on just how wicked you are. I'm in love.

  16. A new pair of boots just arrived for my employee. I took them out of the box, filled the box with random trash and put my worn out slippers in. I can't wait for him to open them!

      The ice beneath your feet gets thinner and thinner. I went easy by sending you to the corner. Many times I tell people to play in traffic. Watch it.

      The next time your employee offers you some soup, it may be made from boiled slippers. I hope so, you bad person.

  20. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. 2017 has the makings to be a wonderful year. So much to be grateful for.

      Now that you're here, I realize you were gone for a while. Hope all is well. Christmas was so good that I was high on it for a few days. I'm near the end of Chanukah which has been pleasant; I never did like latkes anyway.

  21. Today I weigh less than the weight I lied about on my last driver's license . LOL!!

  22. Punctuation, grammar, clarity. Is it too much to ask for?

      @OKCPirate - You remind me of Lake Wobegon, where "all the children are above average."

      If you want all that, ShelterDog, you'll have to pay me more. Beside, those who would pass the pre-surgery IQ test that I advocate do understand.

  24. I keep saying that the idiotic psych evaluation should be scrapped in favor of an IQ test. Do the idiot surgery practices ever learn? Nah. And who pays the price? Hint: Neither they nor their patients.

  25. Good morning from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! So much of each day on our trip involves a lot of walking. We are averaging 10 miles each day. I have lost 9 pounds in the week we have been over here. 242 this morning!
