Alrighty, we got our list of people and I will be matching up names today, hopefully by tonight I will have you all PM'd with your SS.

aww...I don't have much courage when it comes to men i think. I just ignore that, unless I'm in a really pissy mood at the time they decide to mess with me, but kids...i guess thats second nature because I'm a teacher....well don't worry about it, what goes around comes around and one day those kids will get theirs....

The following people MUST pm me before tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a confirmation PM from you before tomorrow morning I will assume you no longer want to participate in the exchange and your names will be removed from the list. Jerseytammy Francesca beautifultina

I LOVE jewlery and all types, I shop on www.ice.com They have reasonable prices and you can make interest free payments and they usually e mail all kinds of discounts and deals.

my nutritionist is against the whole high protein low carb thing. She says we all need a good balance of everything. She has me eating 3 to 4 oz of meat with 2 to 3 oz of veggies (cooked or raw) and then a small portion of cabs at every meal (i.e. 2 baby potatoes, or 2 tablespoons of cooked rice) I agree that the healthiest way is to give our body a bit of everything. I think when we eliminate something we are naturally meant to eat it could mean trouble. And this is coming from some one who lost around 50lbs on Atkins at one time, I put it all back on plus I ended up with fat in places where I had never been fat before (like on my upper arm and thighs)

This is a very normal problem so don't worry to much, you need to get lots of fiber and drink TONS of water.(if you take fiber you MUST drink water other wise it will just make it worse) I don't know where your from, but if your in the US they have laxative products like Maalox and Ex Lax that you can take. If your some place else, you can just go to any pharmacy and ask them for some laxative medication.

the adult with the kids just said to ignore them???!?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! What kind of manners is she teaching the kids?? Ohhhh I would have done a lot more then that to the kids i would have went in the store and VERY LOUDLY told the lady that the children she left ALONE in the car were shouting insults and curse words to people....I would make sure that every one else in the store heard what I was saying to her.... I might shy away when it comes to adults, but as a teacher I have no problem telling off kids or their parents (responsible adult with tme) when they are displaying unacceptable behavior.

All right! I want in the gone for good club, and I want in on the June challenge (I second the motion for doing month to month challenges). For those of you who don't already know me here is a bit about me. I'm from Florida, however my husband is Portuguese and 3 years ago we moved to Portugal. (the tiny country next to Spain, in Europe...just to mention because some people think it's in Africa!) I teach english at a private school and help out DH and DFIL at the family owned stores when I can. I've had weight problems my whole life and was at my highest 250lbs in January when I found out about this new fangled thing called a lapband. When I first read about liquid diets and what not I forgot about the idea, but then some weeks later I stumbled across LBT, and they helped me decide that this is what I wanted to do. I was banded on April 26th and I still feel like a newbie at this whole thing. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks so I can't wait for some motivation. Now I just have to go read the first post and figure out this whole score card thinggie....geezz Susan, your programming analytical side came out here didn't it?? Also I would like to say that I sell Avon, and I will be offering a free gift bag with Avon goodies in it to the winner of the June (or summer which ever it turns out to be) challenge. (if thats okay with you Susan) Good luck to every one!!

I'll give my thanks again to every one, this job isn't easy and is often thankless, and at times very difficult. I have been to other banding forums and weight loss sites, but this is the only one I keep coming back to and I'm proud to call it my online home. Keep up the great work guys!

I'm in! I really need something to help me as well. My goal is to lose 2 kilos (4.4 lbs) by the end of the month. lins, for colors just use the big A symbol above the messagse, and you can change the font or the size by using the 2 drop down boxes next to it. Challenge winner should be the person with the best over all improvement? (most weight, inches lost?) perhaps? Also, I would be willing to donate an Avon gift bag for who ever wins the challenge. (Avon has stuff for men and women!)

humm...I read Da Vinci Code a year or 2 ago and I remember it being a quick read I think I read it over the span of 1 day while I was on vacation. I read all his other books as well and enjoyed them. (even though the base line of all his stories is the same...one man, one woman, both specialist in their areas who compliment each others knowledge, an evil organization, something of value....etc...) Currently, I'm reading the first Harry Potter book, I never did read any of them, even though I saw the movies, so I figured what the heck, I went out and bougth them all, and I decided to read them. I also recently re-read the narnia books after the movie came out. Patricia Cornwall, I have a book by her that I bought but haven't read, I'll have to see the title to see if its the same.....
