How often do you get your picture taken and just LOVE it? Well, we partied Saturday night and this picture was taken around 3:00AM... and I think I look pretty dang smokin! I can't imagine what I will look like when I get to goal!!! I am on a plateau right now... but I need to kick some things back into gear... that is my goal this week!

The new me!
Girl, you look good in that suit!!! Glad your hubby made you do it!

Overdue FUN THREAD!!!
No panties here... don't wear them unless I am on my period. (they just bug me) Thongs and G'strings is what I used to wear, but since the weight loss... they rub on my tail bone that pokes out now and I hate em! Bra... 38DDD

Wow, will I ever?
I don't do low fat stuff... too much sugars in it. I do low carb and no sugar. But, I also don't count calories....

Ignorant People Irritate me!!!
Yikes!!! How could anyone be so deliberately mean???? I think things about people that I shouldn't, but I would NEVER intentionally go up to a perfect stranger and offend them. I believe that people do this... but I just can't... What makes a skinny person or any size person think that they have the right to dish out advice to a stranger. Some people just don't get it.

hello to everyone
Welcome!!! Sounds like you are doing good so far.

Beware of Ambien CR! LOL!! Long but worth it!

Alcohol ---> vomitting
I worried about this also... I love to party and was worried that I wouldn't get to do it anymore. This is what I do... 1. Sip all my drinks... ABSOLUTELY NO CHUGGING. 2. No carbonated drinks for me. ( I drink Margaritas like crazy) 3. When I was in High School, I could drink 12 beers and not feel a thing... now, 1 drink and I am feeling the effects. 4. I just take things a lot slower and I drink all the time (on weekends) so I know when enough is enough. Just the thought of throwing up and possibly ruining my band is enough to just say no. By the way... Greg... really loved all the info in your post. I just took an online Driver's Education's course... and the Alcohol section was my favorite. I learned a lot from it.

Wow!!! Similar thing happened to me Monday at the mall. At the mall the columns are made of mirrors in the department stores... and also when you walk by the store windows... you see your reflection... Well, Monday was the FIRST time I saw my reflection and wasn't completely disgusted!!! I didn't have to suck anything in, or pull anything down!!! We will get there one day.:confused:

Diane and Susan!!! WOW!!!! We must be triplets! I am hearing the same stuff... My size 8, yes, size 8 cousin told me at lunch that we are almost the same size.... I laughed at her for a good 5 minutes.... I know the clothes say size 18, and 1X instead of 26/28 and 3X/4X, but I think they are labeling all the clothes that I am buying wrong! :confused: I still feel like I am in the HUGE FAT suit! I still feel like the fattest person in the room.... Will we ever feel normal? Will it just take time?

LOVE the challenge ideas!!!! You sure do come up with some great stuff Susan!!! I didn't lose a pound this week! (But I lost like 3 and 4 the weeks before, so I am gonna keep my big mouth shut.) The no sugar and no flour thing is an automatic for me!!! I don't ever have either of the two... but the exercise is something that I have been slacking on!

We have the ability to be as skinny as we want????
I think some people are not arguing that you could lose your excess weight... it is just a face that some body would not fit into a 4. I think anyone is capable of losing their "EXCESS WEIGHT"... I do not that everyone is capable of being a size 4. My bones wouldn't fit into a size 4.

How did you feel when you woke up from your banding surgery?
I remember the nurse trying to wake me up ... and I just wanted to stay asleep... Then I felt like I was going to puke... and like I was really drunk... Then they started to try and get me up and I realized then that I had peed on myself... (I just knew that was going to happen) and boy was my bladder full!!!! I had HORRIBLE gas pain, and there was a lady who had surgery right before me whining and crying about the pain... and when I am hurting, I need SILENCE. I wanted to leave so bad that I sucked my Water down quick! That LADY drove me ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!!! You would have thought someone cut her foot off!
