Absolutely yes!! the pain and discomfort from surgery, the budgeting to be self pay, all of it pales in comparrison to how great I feel right now due to the band. I know I am going to reach goal, and that makes me so happy.

I have people tell me that my weight loss goals are not realistic, but i know what my body looks like and feels like at the weight goal that I have set. It is all very personal in my opinion. The nice thing is when you get to a weight you can see how you feel, and keep losing if you want to.

There are hormones stored in our fat cells, and when we lose weight we get an influx of these hormones. That is a lot of times what causes hair loss. I get 100 g of protein a day, and my hair is still falling out. Its because I am losing weight at a fast and steady pace. when my weight loss will level out, my hair loss will too.

I wonder if I would be classified as a have or a have not.

I have not sent mine out yet. I need to. Sorry to my receiver. It might be a tad late!!! You can beat me now. I did receive mine, but I do not know who it was from. But it is the prettiest little ceramic tree stump with two butterflies on it. They are so cute. And I am in a butterfly phase right now so it is perfect. I keep it on my desk right next to my computer.

You mean I am not going to live forever? Quick! Get me my car keys. I need to go out and buy gas!

We're All Gonna Die!!! Dawg Has Predicted It!!!

you have me almost peeing i am laughing so hard. i am glad you are ok, but that is one funny story!! LOL

She meant Just My Opinion.

I guess everyone missed all those bus loads of people that were taken north before and after the hurricane. and all those folks that live in the other states. Call me crazy, but I know I can walk to Georgia in a week. LOL I would have stolen a shopping cart, put the kids in there and hoofed it. but that is just me. I am a go getter.

Ok I just have to laugh. Donald Trump is a brilliant money maker. He did not put $5 million away, and that is why he is worth as much as he is toay. He invested his money. He went bankrupt a few times, and still worked it. He worked hard and deserves every penny he has. He has his name on tons of property, games, even bottled water. the man knows how to make money. That is why he is wealthy. Not because someone gave him $5 mil. He lost that initial investment amount years ago.

you seriously think that $5 million in the 60's is worth $30 million today?

I have NEVER exclaimed or even thought for a second I was BETTER than anyone. I think I have made better choices. But never do I look at myself as a better person than someone else. Maybe you need to focus that statement on yourself. As for what happened to them...that whole state knew those levies would break some day. why do you think the areas around the levies were poorer districts? Because it is not prime real estate being that it would be destroyed some day. What I have a hard time with is the need for the people that stayed, when they were told to leave, and even offered help to leave, to then say that others need to help them due to their actions. No. I don't buy into that type of thinking. You do something expressly against what you are warned about, and you pay the consequences. sorry. the only butts i wipe now are my kids. and that is stopping as we speak. everyone needs to take care of themselves. the only time I lend a hand is when someone truly deserves it, and in those cases I am the most honest and compassionate person you could ever meet. I helped with cleanup after many hurricanes. We even had a family live with us a number of years ago when a hurricane hit melbourne cause in their trying to leave their car broke down and they got stuck. Do for yourself. When the world still kicks your ass at that point, I am the first one to step up and give you a hand. But if you can't get your butt off the couch an don't want to at least make an effort, why should i waste my time? there are people a lot more deserving.

LOL Inflation isn't that bad. $5 million in the seventies is NOT 30 to 50 million dollars today. If it was my $1000 I got on my birthday in savings bonds would be helping me retire today.

It REALLY depends on your surgeon's office and your insurance company. Did you already find out if your insurance company can and will approve you? Do you meet their requirements? Some insurance companies have 6 month or 1 year waiting periods. And your surgeon's office might be slow in communicating with your insurance company. They could also be pretty booked and you need to wait for their schedule to open up some. there are so many variables. Its hard to tell you exactly how long it might take. You should just make sure that you impress upon your surgeon's office and the insurance company that you need to have this done quickly.

um...before katrina the govt sent buses around to evacuate people. here in florida if you are in an area that needs to be evacuated you can call your local police and they will evacuate you to a shelter. there is not excuse. sorry. I have been through enough of them to know the inner workings. my brother in law is head of the emergency disaster response group (the state version of FEMA) in South Carolina. I know how SC, NC, GA, FL and MS are set up in times of hurricane, or other natural disaster. We speak about it a lot. There is absolutely no excuse for people to not evacuate. Those that stay due so on their own accord, and if you stay, you have no place to complain. You chose your bed, lay in it. wet or dry. As for personal belongings, I have been penniless a lot of times in my life. I guess I had the sense to realize that putting myself in the middle of a state that would guarantee my belongings getting destroyed at least once a month was a bad idea. So I moved out of the state. And before anyone says that takes a lot of money...no it doesn't. I have moved across the country 3 times on very little. Once as a family of four. its easy if you try.

you'd think that wouldn't you. my family is too busy putting away their shoes to realize that they too can poke holes in the top of the celophane and press a few buttons.

thanks nut. i need to go huddle in the corner, hold myself and cry for a few minutes.

LOL kelly....its that way, till you become a mod. then your day is filled, and family wonders why dinner is late

no thanks. i don't need the remote control panties. there are plenty of laps i can hop on when the mood strikes me.

I still have a gift for whoever wins the next challenge. whether that is this challenge or the sept challenge. Thankfully I am not seeing any other of our threads getting shut down anytime soon.

hell i want to open a gas station where you live! Sounds like they are doing good business! LOL

according to the 2pm advisory the storm is barely going to clip miami. and it won't even hit till Wednesday. At least for me, filling up this early would not be a good thing. Cause i have a life to lead and will be using that whole tank of gas before wednesday morning. LOL they also don't feel this storm will make any impact on florida other than rain and a little wind. that is IF it strengthens before it hits florida. it is falling aprat as we speak.
