Josette

Yes this has happened to me. Probably 4 years ago me and my exfiance decided to go to cedar point for the day and we were riding a bunch of the rides and having a great time and halfway in to the day we decided to go on a standup rollercoaster and I couldn't get it all the way in to the locked position so the guy came up and made me get off FAST because I was holding up the line. My ex stayed on the coaster and I had to walk off it and out to the mainway and I sat on a bench and cried my eyes out until my ex finally got done with the ride and came to find me. After that we left because I didn't want to ride anymore. I haven't been back there since. I used to go every year and ride every coaster. I look forward to going again maybe next year, but diffenently the year after:) On a funny note.. the only ride I've been on since then was a dinosaur ride at the county fair with my nephew 2 years ago. It was like a huge egg shaped dinosaur and you crawled in to an opening where the belly was and there was a round table thing in the middle that you used to spin the dinosaur while you were in it. my nephew was 4. I got that thing spinning so fast that he was glued to the wall ..hahahahaha. He says "aunt Josie.. it's soooooooooooooooooooooooo fast!!!!"

You got it!!! That's why I don't have very many female friends. The ones I do have are awesome women and very confident. I got sick of having female friends who were backstabbers and gossip queens. Most of the women on my mom's side of the family are like that. I'd rather be friends with a man! hahaha. They don't gab about who's screwing who and who's getting fat! Well... unless it involves hunting or football! hahaha. My husband had a hard time when we first met and he realized I had so many guy friends. Women really are hard on each other!

Cheri, I'm using the tote as a purse today. It's perfect size! I love love love it! How much would you charge for a tote done in teal and white for ovarian cancer?

Our home and native laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand! Happy Canada Day! I hope you guys have a great day! I love hockey and polar bears so I consider myself an honorary canuck! I don't have fond memories of the last time I celebrated Canada Day in Sault Ste Marie, Ont. The alcohol content there is OUT OF CONTROL! hahahhahahahahaha.

you're welcome martha. Let me know what you find out and I hope you get that ball and chain off you soon. hehehe. Jillia, how much have you lost so far? How are you feeling? I can hardly wait!

I received my sec sam gift yesterday from Cheri. I love love love it. She sent me a bag that she made herself, a pair of earrings I believe she made, a yummy black cherry candle, a small bundle of the powders for flavoring bottled water (I didn't know koolaid made these too!) and some really cool foot pampering creams! Thank you so much Cheri. The bag is beautiful! I'm very patriotic (I named my dog liberty) hehehe and I will use it year around. Thank you so much! You did a great job!

hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I guess I'm screwed then cause I have a flat butt already and a fat head.

I'm Josette and you can see my stats below. I'm from Lansing Michigan and being banded on Aug 3rd in Port Huron Michigan by Dr. Boutt. I have been working on this for over 6 months now and I'm looking forward to taking the big step to my new life. Yay!!!!! I can really relate to you Nicknac! Looks like it's you and me Meme! Aug 3rd or Bust! hehe

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks her head is HUGE!!! I began to wonder if my head would look huge on my body after I lost the weight. SCARY!

my opinion on it is if you don't want people questioning your lifestyle or your choices or anything else ... DON'T BE A CELEB!!! You get Brittany and Star, etc. carrying on about how their lives are private and nobodies business. Putting it out there is what keeps their bank accounts fat. If you don't want american to know your business then get off the damn TV, etc.

what does love spell smell like? I like light fruity sweet smells.

Here is an amazing place in Michigan to vacation! http://www.grandhotel.com/ It's on our Mackinac Island where Lake Huron and Lake Michigan meet. There's no cars on the island. It's beautiful!

Penni, at first I thought Erin was you! You two could be SISTERS! Both very beautiful! You are such a proud momma! Looks like you raised a great bunch of kids. Congrats to YOU!

BRING IT ON SISTER! hehehehehe. Just kidding. I really know what you mean. My sister in law is like 165 and needs to lose 30 pounds and carries ON about being sooooooooooooooooo fat. If i didn't love her so much I'd want to strangle her. hahaha I saw this shirt for sale that was beautiful the other day and so I showed it to her and she says "no way. size 16 is WAY too big!"

christy, how do you keep your hair from falling out coloring that much?? I'd love to color my hair like Pink's with the platnuim blonde with light pink in the back underpart of the hair just above the neck. I think that's HOT!

bandster, you don't throw up all the time. From what I've learned you basically have to pay attention to what you're eating and how you're eating it. if you're not chewing enough... you'll pb. if you're eating something that your stomach just can't digest ... you'll pb. So the only way you'll pb all the time is if you make the choice to not pay attention to how you eat and what you eat.

Yeah what she said! hehehe. I'm scheduled for Aug 3rd and am a tiny bit nervous but I know once it's all over with I'll be SOOO happy I did it and it's DONE! You will too. Keep in touch and we'll get through this together!

Randi. That's awesome except for my Boss wouldn't clear that day and then the surgeon called and had to reschedule. hahaha. Is August 3rd a good day too? AhhhhH!

We have SO much in common it's sickening! hahahaha. The other day my absent minded husband pointed out a couple where the woman was taller and I looked at him and just burst out laughing and he said "what??? it's not THAT noticable with US" I said "YES IT ISSSS!!!"

Woodys... that is HILARIOUS! hahahahaha. I'm 6'1" (yes... Six foot One) and hope to get down to even just 230. I'd be overjoyed at that weight! My hubby is 5'9" he's a shrimpy. hahaha. I remember I dated a guy for a while that was 5'7" and my mother referred to him as Midget and called him Midg for short. hahaha. He actually thought it was quite funny. My mom was 5'9, dad 6'0, brother 6'2" and other brother 6'2" We're a tall family

I've been having last suppers since I decided to do this. hahaha. Unfortunately I work next to a major bitch and she won't shut her damn mouth and leave me alone. If I eat a cookie she's like "can you have that on lapband? are you gonna fall off the wagon?"

I guess I'm in another county if we're talking suburbs and all. hahaha. I can hardly wait. I can't remember the last time I was under 300 pounds, it was THAT long ago. I still remember the day I found out I was 300 pounds and I started crying my eyes out. Now I'm 7 pounds from 400 pounds and I can't let myself get that far. YIKES!!!!! Back to 300 I'm going! Glad to have so many people riding with me! All hop aboard the bus to twoterville! hehehe :clap2:

Martha.. last I heard... Dr. Boutt said they are supposed to be certified in July. I do know one of the hospitals in Grand Rapids already has that.

there are two doctors. Dr. Boutt and Dr. Bhesenia

WHAT?!?!?!??! I applied for that job? Am I over qualified???? Congrats Wheetin.. Kick some butt girlfriend!
