I sent you my name! I love fb!

I wanted to tell everyone that on fb I do not share about my band. I have only told a few people about it. I post about diet and exercise but nothing about the actual band. Thanks!!

I took some today but I still feel so fat! I know in my heat that I have lost a lot of weight but my eyes still see yuck!! I am going to make a combo before/after pic and I will post it. I am going to force myself to post it!!

I just posted a before picture in my album. It was hard to look at really. I look and felt terrible! I am still obese but I have come a long way baby! I was at my highest weight in the pic - 280.

I totally understand. My first husband was a run around. Before he told me I said "It's Ok honey, whatever it is we will work it out." Well then when i found out he had had 7 one night stand/affairs I was in shocked disbelief. I tried for 10 years after that and I could not forgive or forget. It was miserable. For me it was a waste of time as eventually he left me and the kids for another women. I hope you can work things out. Divorce is hard on kids and I tried my best to avoid it although unsuccessfully. Good Luck and {{{Hugs}}}

I love that poem!

She has been hounding them on the phone so I guess they were tired of her! lol She is sick today but VERY VERY happy! I am thrilled for her. What a Christmas gift! I will be staying the night with her on the 26th. She is really scared about the surgery part but she will do fine.

I LOVE guinea pigs! They are so cute and cuddly!

What is the apple - peanut butter thing? Also - great news today. My daughter just heard that her band surgery has been approved! Yipee! She is scheduled for surgery on 12/26.

+10000 You look so pretty and SKINNY! :wink_smile:

Wow! That is an incredible support system you have found! It is so much easier to workout when you know someone is paying attention to your attendance! I have a neighbor who I met on this board and I hope once she heals more from surgery that we can exercise together!

Thanks CG! It is nice to know that I encourage someone! I woke up at 4:30 this morning and actually weighed 204.9. I went back to bed and woke up at 6 and was back at 205. lol I think I need a frequent weigher intervention! Give water aerobics a try. I especially like the deep water variety. You work your butt off and do not feel it until you get home. I sleep like a baby after a session! :wink_smile:

I wonder if they are having global warming problems in hell. I have heard people say that when global warming hits full force it is going to be hotter than hell. .

My skin has been really dry as well - I just thought it was from having the heater on. :wink_smile: I have got to drink more water. Taking a diuretic for my blood pressure probably does not help.

I hope you are right! I did have another surgery on November 4th. I have not been consistent in drinking my protein shakes either. I hope you are right on this one as well! I hope the skin firms up so I do not have to have a tummy tuck.

Yes, my husband is bald so I can agree with you. I on the other hand do not want to be bald. I have been eating and drinking lots of protein. Taking vitamins and Biotin, hopefully this will stop soon. :wink_smile:

I cannot wait until I am in the 150's! I am still just over 200 and hope to leave that behind for the new year! I want to be in onederland!! I have not been to the gym in awhile. I am just doing walking around my neighborhood. I am thinking of starting water aerobics again. I really enjoyed that. I would not worry about others at the gym. Do what you want at the gym! The heck with the haters!

:wink_smile: Woot Woot! 2 pounds! Congrats. You are my elliptical hero! One hour - that's incredible! I cannot wait until I do that!

PJTP - My hair is falling out by the happy handfuls. I Know that soon I will be thin but also flat chested and bald. Sexy!

Thank You! I will definitely make the muffins. The ice cream sounds awesome. What kind of ice cream machine did you buy? The magic bullet sounds great. I will have to find one! I use sf DaVinci syrups. They are great! I love the variety of flavors available. Thanks again for the recipe!

Thanks Brandy! Have fun at the concert! I will be you will see another loss! 1.2 pounds is awesome! Every little bit counts!

Yesterday was a great day. I had so much energy! I could not believe it! I actually jogged from the door at Target to my car far out in the parking lot. Now I know it is not far but for me it was a marathon! lol After I came home from the store I took my doggies on a walk. I would have walked more but my husband was cold. I need to get him warmer clothes so he can keep up with me!! :tongue: My scale was my friend again this morning. My weight is still 206 bit it went from 206.9 to 206.1. I will take any kind of loss! I am so happy that I have my band. She really is my BFF. :sad_smile:

Awesome! Please share some recipes! The muffins sound great. I love ice cream so let me know how that works out. I would love to be able to eat ice cream. :sad_smile: I have never used a Magic Bullet. What is the deal with them as opposed to a regular blender? I actually just use a shaker bottle so maybe I need to expand my horizons. :tongue:

I love that show! I am so happy I have on demand so I can re-watch the episodes! :thumbup:
