Do you see where it is the same thing tho? The sex threads, the religious threads, and the political threads are not for every member of the board...but neither are all of the weight loss threads. All the threads should be posted, and the original posters should not be thrashed for their starting those threads. In the immortal words...Can't we all just get along?!? LOL

I am glad you feel this way. Open minds are a good thing. But that also appies to threads on dieting and weightloss that you might not agree with. It has to be a two way street. It cannot be "deal with my threads, but I don't have to deal with yours." I know that is extreme, and not what you are saying, but there has to be understanding on both sides. And the Temptation thread has much more to do with weight loss directly than chatting about anal sex. As fun as that topic could get...it would still end up in the lounge. This is probably why Pnut took the post the way she did. That and the PM's she has gotten from other people. I might be wrong, but I am venturing out on a limb here. The temptation thread left a lot of people really happy, and a lot of people really pissed. Its not the first thread, or the first board to do that. But I think that Dawg had good intentions. It also was a wake up call to a few people who have had great success since that thread was posted. I think that is great. But I have to say one thing. Anger directed at someone who posts a thread, with a hard question to pose for some of us is not expressing a holier than thou position. No one here is better than anyone else. And anyone who feels they have all the answers for everyone is selling something. Dawg, and others in the thread who supported him, stated very clearly that the topic may not be for everyone. I didn't see a holier than thou additude anywhere in any of that. You are really upset, lisa, and I am not clear as to why, but I hope you have a better day. If posts on this board are making you upset, maybe it is time to take a break. I know a lot of people would be upset about that, but you are the master of your own destiny. I hope that you are able to decide quickly so that you are not living in anger for long.

I have not been banned yet, but I have chosen Dr. Sanchez because of his banding history, the guest house, the hospital, and the future of my band. I have heard nothing but great praise about him, and feel I made the best choice for me.

realistically....doctors say that it take one to two years for your skin to shrink as much as it is going to to the new you. it also takes about that long for your brain to figure out that you are skinny again. dlayed response...but at least in 2 years you will officially be a skinny. in heart mind, skin, fat and soul. :confused:

bwuahahahahahaahaha!

Eh, I'm married to one just like him. I know what gets em snortin. :confused: Hey maybe we should swap! HA!

You like me! You REALLY like me!

Well...if you look at it from his point of view...I AM the woodland realm. LOL

:cake: hey guess what dawg...you are losing weight. aint it great? :confused:

wah wah wah dawg, LOL personal trainer in the house and you are whining about Jello skin. hehehehe don't make me hurt you. sit on the edge of the couch while you are watchin tv and do some leglifts. or pick uppnut a few times to work on those arms and chest. see...no gym time. LOL joking, as always, but really, swimming will be good (the jiggly skin in the Water might tickle) but get some weight work done. dumbells and all that. As for the brain band...without turning this into an adult thread, you know what I could say about the male member and cutting off blood to the brain to lessen thoughts. I doubt you need a surgery for this. :confused:

I belong to a number of online boards, and I gotta say, this is one of the tamest I visit. LOL But just about every board, with many people involved, turn to sex at some point here and there. Just as it turns to prayers, men vs women jokes, politics, and so on. Very rarely can a group of people get together to discuss one topic, and not touch on another topic. I think that, in a situation like this one, weight loss touches many aspects of our lives, so many topics are talked about. And sex is a biggie!! Sex changes dramatically with weight loss/gain, and quite often people become freer when they break out of that fat cocoon. This is a healthy, private, anonymous place for some to push the boundries, find their niche, ask questions and find humor in their changing sexuality. Its isn't for everyone, but it is good it is there and available for a few. I think that good thread titles are greatly in need and appreciated, but I think a seperate section would be bad. We would then come down to trying to decide what is "too raunchy" and someone with a serious question (like delarla's in regards to plastic surgery) might not get answered. That's my $.02

I have this too. It is called an annoying DH that likes to poke and grab at inopportune times. LOL All kidding aside, there is no "too young". You should have a good OBGYN and you need to go have that checked out. Be sure. Good luck!!

**FD sings "She aint nothin but a hoochie momma!!"* I need to go dancing.

LOL dork. :confused: just kidding. me too. When I go back to work it is going to take me another 4 hours to devour all the posts here and on the other 2 boards I belong to. LOL DH will never see me. He said one surefire way for me to lose weight...attach the laptop to the stationary bike. LOL

Well good luck, and I hope that next thanksgiving you can hug a very clean and healthy nephew. :confused:

K. I live in tampa. here is what you are looking for. Tampa is a great city, IMHO. It is laid back, fun, lots of activities (there seems to be a parade every weekend LOL) and great people!! The neighborhoods can be hit or miss. But if you are working in tampa, you do NOT want to live in the areas you listed. the commute would be about 1hr to 1.5hrs one way. :confused: Thanks to the lovely I275. You are gonna want to look at areas called Dunedin, clearwater, safety harbour (that with were we are moving to on March 1st). St. Pete has a lot of crime, so try to stay north. This gives you a home close to the Water, but not right on the water. And the home prices range widly. The parameters you gave can land you a home from about $200,000 to $1million. It really depends on a lot. But there are plenty of homes to choose from. And you do not just have to look at new construction. The older homes around here are really well taken care of. And they are usually larger, and on a larger piece of property. IT jobs are PLENTIFUL!!! Tell your DH to look up a company called Numara. Its where my DH works. Used to be a part of Intuit before it went independent. They are a good company. There are plenty of others, and plenty of IT jobs in other sorts of companies too. Don't even think about the bugs. We have fun describing the bugs here in florida, but it really isn't an issue. You are going to find the most annoying thing is just ants, and you learn how to handle that quickly. Honestly, I do not think about it unless my daughter is freaking out over a spider of a fly (she has a bug phobia) Tampa is, like I said, and awesome place. You are 1.5 hours from Disney and Universal, 2 hours from NASA and daytona, couple of hours from miami and the keys, orange groves everywhere, beautiful weather all year long (today was sunny and 78 :cake: ) and the pace is very beach bum-ish. Fruity drinks and hammocks are not out of the ordinary, and the tiki bar is always calling. :cake: If you have any other questions please ask. I am happy to let you know about particular housing areas too. I can drive by and let you know if it is a good neighborhood or not. DO NOT trust the realtor. There is a big thing realtors are doing here in trying to turn crappy neighborhoods into nice ones by bringing in people willing to do some rehab. Problem is the neighborhood will not become safe for 4 or 5 years. No good. HTH!!!

I am so glad that the lines of communication are still open. Hopefully this will be the little wake up call he needs to realize how serious this sort of thing can be. My prayers are with him and his buddi g family, and with you on your new fresh start. So what are ya going to do with the room? a workout room maybe? :confused:

Ok, I think the thing that people who are saying "its ok" are forgetting is that this is not a person who is using pot recreationally in his own home. This is a KID with a WIFE and a Kid of his own, who can't afford to provide a home for his own family. um...call me silly, but the fact that he is smoking pot clearly shows stupidity and lack of responsibility. And the wife knows...in a situation like that she is either smoking it with him, or helping him to cover it up. Pity the child, maybe even call child services. Get it the hell out of your house. If he wants to smoke it...fine! Let him. But you have rules, and there is no reason why you should just let someone skate for a bit even though he broke the rules. I don't get why some of the people here want her to go easy on him. HE IS DOING ILLEGAL DRUGS IN HER HOUSE AROUND HER KIDS AND AN INFANT!!! AND HIS MEMORY IS SO BAD HE LEFT A WHOLE BAG WHERE HERN CHILDREN COULD FIND IT AND USE IT!!! Family or not, he would have been out that night. And I have gone through that my self, kicking a family member out with nothing due to drugs. Nothing comes that close to my kids. For no reason!!!

you could always get a body suit to hold all the skin up and in...and just cut holes for the important bits. :confused:

Delarla, as part of most total body lifts, a vaginal lift can be included. That gets rid of the (as a few of my dumb-ass men friends so affectionately call it) FUPA. The Fat Upper Pussy Area. I actually saw a hat at the mall the other day... It said FUPA Class of '06. I almost bought it. :confused:

I am offended. I came in here expecting good and healthy XXX sex talk, and got this bs about arguments. :confused: I'm with ya gurl.

Don't look for a relationship, because you will prematurely possibly jump into something unhealthy...looking for that solid love. Instead, just be open for it. Continue to casually date, but be open for something more long term. It will happen when it is right. Up until now you have gone out with the mindset "casual only..." but without you might find some possibilities you would have passed by before. Good luck!!! :confused:

dawg, i really do feel the same. the inside of my thighs are all loose and soft compared to before. and my butt is sagging. LOL I went to get out of bed the other day, and my fat tummy and leg smacked together and made the worse sound. i fell flat on the bed and cried. Yeah I've lost, but my bod feels like it is a candle on a hot window sill.

OOOOOOOOOOOW I am a pale redhead, and I tell you what, I have had the lobster look so many times in my life. I am a water baby and spent so much time at the pool or beach growing up I was permanantly sunburned for about 8 years of my childhood. When the burn goes away, I am paper white again. I envy those who can tan. But I do not envy your burn. Aloe in between the medical rubs, to give the skin natural moisture. It will cut down on the peeling. There is a spray on aloe you can get so you don't have to touch the skin. A brilliant idea indeed. Also take some extra vitamin E during this time to help the skin heal, and some extra milk if you can stomach it. and bathing will allow you to soak in moisture all over your body. A lot of the pain is from the skin cells being so dehydrated and soaking in a tub of water can really help to rehydrate them directly. and spend as much time nekkid as possible. LOL

I don't care how good looking the guy is...it would never be a good day to be a small furry rodent stuck up some dudes butt. call me wacky.
