I noticed that when I first go in there, someone is logging out ALWAYS... like you can't get knocked out until someone comes in???? WEIRD:confused:

OF COURSE!!! NO ONE IS EXCLUDED!!!

EVERYONE is welcome!!! Band or no band!!! Even if I don't like ya... you can be in it!!! I don't care We are ALL trying to lose weight here, right?

Oh, you didn't hurt my feelings... I just thought things had been plenty juicy around here period!!! Just giving you guys a hard time!

Free to all who would like to join... I plan on doing a monthly thing. We will see how it goes. 1. Start date: March 1st 2. End date: March 31st 3. Post your beginning weight. Any and all suggestions are welcome. This is a friendly little CHALLENGE and I am NOT going to calculate anything. If someone else wants to that will be fine. The main reason I want to start this is to track my weight on a monthly basis to see how much I can really lose by pushing myself... So, let me know if you want in. We will post a beginning weight on the 1st! Just a little clarifications here : I want this to be a challenge for us all to lose weight. I don't want there to big one winner, because we will all be winning. I don't plan on prizes or naming a certain winner. In some cases that will make us work harder, but for my own personal reasons I just want us all to PUSH each other to win this battle. I recently dropped out of another challenge just because I wasn't getting what I needed there. EVERYONE is welcome in this challenge and I don't want to divide anyone on LBT!!! Like I said, we are all in this together and I just want to try and do things a little different. I would LOVE all comments and suggestions on how we want to do this... Actually might start a whole 'nother thread with a new cool name!!! *HINT* *HINT* to someone that already PM'd a GREAT name!!! AND since I am getting really busy at work, I might get another person to do the main page or something (P'Nut) hehehe

Yeah, sorry we aren't interesting!

TOO FUNNY!!! I have an order coming in today from there!!! We are definitely too much alike!!!

Thanks! That was a good read!

Why don't you wait until you know for SURE if you are going to be covered by your insurance or not? Then I would make a decision. I would much rather choose to have it done closer to home because after care is just as important as surgery.... So, unless you live in Mexico??? I would personally just see what insurance is going to do... GOOD LUCK WITH IT!!!

About the seamstress... I don't have any clothes that would look right if they were taken up... A 30 down to a 22/24??? I don't know about that??? Wal-Mart has a decent selection sometimes... Katie... what you need to start out... is a nice pair of black pants... and then 5 or so shirts. That is what I where... You can dress up almost any shirt with black pants!!! Seriously, I will be sending you some stuff as soon as you get me your address!!! Every girl with a new job need some nice threads!!!

My cousin sent the same "game" to me... I jumped about 10 feet in the air!!!

I was thinking the same thing!!!:welldone2:

After surgery with Spivak... I was specifically told no Slim Fast. Dr. Spivak also tells us to stay away from sugar... as we all should if we want to lose weight :welldone2: Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions.

Your son did a great job! He is a cute kid!

Welcome! Sounds like you are really having great luck with the band!!! Even though you gained 10 lbs, it isn't 100!!! So great to hear of someone further down the road with no complications!

Today's Happy Thought for ME!!! My baby girl and I had so much fun yesterday when I got home!!! She is SO awesome!

Hey Katie... I just sent you an email... but I didin't say it was from HeatherGurl!!! :mad:

Congratulations!!!! That is SO GREAT!!!!

I started at 329! I am down to 284, and I was banded on 11/09/05. Don't let anyone pressure you into any surgery you don't want!!!

There is sugar free ice cream by Blue Bunny that is yummy!!!

I know this is going to sound all mushy BUT.... check this out... we are all posting why we are bent out of shape.... AND THERE ARE NO FIGHTS!!!! WAY TO GO US!!! I didn't agree with everyone said, but we got to post our opinions!!! YAYYY, we are all being so sweet!!! (evil grin) Thanks to everyone for posting their comments and not attacking others!!!!

Guess I should have been clearer I was wondering when or if you were banded... and how you are doing with that??? IF you want to share

I am sorry to admit that I did it before my surgery...

DITTO!!!! Yeehaw!!!

For us newer members... we would love to hear your story... AND WELCOME BACK!
