  1. She could probably get the band and no one would even know. She could just say she is on another one of her diets. I actually thought she might have gotten it this last time she lost weight because she kept it off for so long.
  2. Count me a member of that club too!! LOL!!
  3. Yes, she really shouldn't be doing it. She could get into a lot of trouble.
  4. No, I am right handed. So I don't know why the left one is bigger. It always has been, even when I was skinny. It is a lot bigger, like almost a cup size. Both of my boobs are so saggy, I hate it. I can't wait to get to goal and get a lift.
  5. That's great that you have found someone new. Does he know about your surgery?
  6. My husband LOVES to do it too. But I have to admit that he gives a lot more than he receives. I guess I need to try to change that.

    Well, that's good that you have at least started.
  8. Yes, I know, I don't want to be unhappy forever either. But sometimes I feel like if I leave I will still be unhappy, there wouldn't be any difference.
  9. I wouldn't worry too much about the extra weight you have put back on. It is very hard to lose this time of year. I'm not even really trying to lose right now, I'm just trying to maintain. I'm sure after the hoildays we will get back on track.
  10. I had a book too. Our school nurse gave us one in 4th grade I think. My left boob is a lot bigger than my right and I really hate it.
  11. I was talking about Kirstie. She had gained it all back last I heard. I was trying to find some pictures, but I haven't been able to find any yet.
  12. Wow, age 7 is really young. I started wearing a bra when I was 9.
  13. Well, I can understand why it would hurt, you have been together so long. It would really hurt me to leave my husband too, even though he has been really mean to me. It would also just really hurt me to admit that my marriage was a failure.
  14. You are sure not alone because I have considered divorce many many times. I have only been married 3 1/2 years, but it feels like a lifetime. I really don't know how people stay married for so long. I see these couples who have been married forever, and I just wonder how they do it and if they were happy all those years, or just miserable and stayed together anyway. I know one thing, if I had more money and a better job I would have probably been divorced a long time ago.
  15. I don't know where that term "honeymoon period" came from, but I don't like that term. Because I have sure had to fight for every pound I have lost. It sure hasn't been a honeymoon for me. But like Jack said, I wouldn't go back for anything.
  16. Avon has some really good masks. I like the pore reducer one. It is green.
  17. I don't know what you are going through, but you really need to get some help. If you tell a doctor that, you can get some help. All you have to do is ask. Good luck.
  18. I used to do the same thing: lose a lot of weight and then go on binges that would last months and regain it all plus more. I find myself even trying to do that now. But thankfully my band won't let me binge eat anymore. I used to binge on carbs, bread and fast food. It's funny because those are the very foods that my band can't tolerate.
  19. The last picture I saw of her was a few weeks ago and she looked like she had gained it all back plus more.
  20. I agree, if this is the "easy" way, I"ll take it over feeling starved all the time.
  21. That's true. She is so against weight loss surgery, it's so dangerous, blah blah. Does she think what she's doing to her body is any healthier?
  22. No offense, but if Kirstie wants to start her own weight loss brand, shouldn't she start using it now and lose some weight before she trys to sell it? Just a suggestion...
  23. Yes this thread blew up! LOL. Don't get me wrong, I love Oprah, and I really do feel bad for her. We all know what it's like to lose and regain weight, and she has it worse because she has to do it in the spot light. I just think she is the type of person who would do really well with a band. I know a lot of people with the band regain their weight, but there's a lot that don't. I think she's just one of those people who diet and exercise alone doesn't work for (like so many of us).
