Paula that is a great wish! It was a lot like my last christmas wish. Jen, got the weights. I will add both of you to the board in a bit.

I can't wait!! I love these gift exchanges! It is so nice and it is a great way to get to know people and make friends!

Conductor here checking in!! How is everyone doing?? Any new variations you would like to share with us? Any weight loss you want to cheer about??

I was my own teacher. My parents gave me Water wings, and threw my in the pool at 3. LOL I chewed holes in the water wings and gradually learned to paddle and keep myself afloat as the air leaked out. LOL I do not recommend this to anyone. But it sure worked for me!

You got it sherri!!! How are you feeling??

Inamed is a maker of the lapband. there are about 3 or 4 makers of the lapband. The Vanguard is one type and size of the band that Inamed makes. It is just a description of the particular band that I have. I am doing good so far with the band. I am open, so I can eat more than I'd like, but I am scheduled for my first fill in about 3 weeks. I have a chest cold so it makes my diaphram a little inflamed, which is bringing back the shoulder and neck pain with deep breaths. I look forward to meeting you too, and everyone else on the cruise. I love cruises!!

Man, who here remembers telling themselves at various times in their life "beauty is pain"? LOL shoes that hurt your feet, corsetry and shapers, plucking eyebrows and using springs to rip the hair out of our legs...

paula, do you have a christmas wish to add to the list?

157 days till Christmas!!! :) :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat:

well..heart attack by way of massive amounts of drugs. He was a cool comedian, and will be missed. I also agree that telly is much prettier. Nicer eyes by far. Wheets, you really do look a lot like her. i totally see it.

Can we all get a big BOOYAH for EmileeKaye's hitting the 100 pounds gone for good mark??? WOOHOO you go girl!!!

Lookingout - I missed one of your posts asking about my apron. I have a history of blood clots, so the doctor decided, kind of at the last minute, not to do the surgery. So I got banded instead. I took your stats for the first page from your signature, and ... :welcomeB: :welcomeB: TO THE GONE FOR GOOD CLUB!!!!!

Ok, going to update the list. Hope everyone's weight is in. Looks like a lot of loss this week!!! How perfect!!

Some people have it last up to two weeks. the more you walk the quicker it wil go away, trust me. it is refered pain from the diaphram. try taking some gas-x chewables or strips to help with the gas as well.

Ok, I have taught swim lessons, and been a lifeguard. One thing I do not understand is why they ask the parents to not be in attendance after the first lesson. That screams foul to me. We loved it when the parents were there, because the kids would try harder, and it would not be just play time for them. I have not problem with her taking the kids to the deep end to get them over their fear, but it has to be done in an appropriate way. Did she have them come into the water one at a time, or was she trying to hold all three up in the water at the same time?

Its true, there are a lot of losers here this week!! Good to see! I will be doing the updates tomorrow morning, so get your weigh ins in tonight, or early tomorrow morning. Lets make this month one big loss for everyone!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: GO GFG !!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I think she is gorgeous, so if I am being compared to her, then I feel very blessed. Tricia, telly is just statin fact girl. You look a lot like Linda Carter, and she was one super smokin chick when wonder woman came out. Maybe they should do a remake of the movie and you could play her. hehehe

Sherri it could be just swollen. Myport area is still very swollen. If I lay down and push I can feel it, but it is swollen. Also, you are starting out at a lower BMI right? Could be that you just don't have a lot of fat to hide it behind.

I lost both rings approx 2 months ago. Just looked down one day and they were both not on my finger. It broke my heart, but DH told me it was ok, that we were going to renew our vows after I get to goal anyway. He said it will be like marrying a completely different person.

OMG !!! Tricia totally looks like Wonder Woman! And Tricia! You are Gorgeous! Your eyes are just beautiful!

wheets from the pics i have seen of you, i see it. you should do some side by sides. now and when you were a kid :eek: let us be the judge

Everyone tells me I look like Lauren Ambrose, from Six Feet Under. I have complete strangers tell me this, so there must be some resemblance.

Light a fire. He'll come out then. LOL Sally what is your current weight and your goal weight for the wish list? NJChick, I can imagine our dog doing exactly the same thing. I can't remember a silly gift, except some unmentionable things here. LOL I have certainly given some silly gifts. Gave DH a thong one year as a gag gift. Funniest part was he came out of the bathroom christmas night wearing them, looking down saying that the didn't feel right. He had them on worng. Not backwards, but just wrong. Like his right legs were in one leg hole and the waist band, and the other leg hole was around his waist. Lets just say it didn't look comfy, and it was absolutely hilarious. He hasn't worn them since.

You have obviously never tried mine! HAHAHAHA I worry about this too. My family expects my cornbread and sausage gravy. And my mother in law makes THE BEST sweet rolls ever!! Thanksgiving and christmas are going to be a trial. We will see if I can handle just one or two bites of everything.

I do have the ricotta cheese. Honestly, the taste isn't for me. I added some sugar free preserves, but it just a funky taste to it. I know my daughter loves it though!! She hovers arond me cause she knows I won't finish it. lol
