Seuss is overrated. It's easy to rhyme when one simply makes up words. I tried that and got a C in freshman English.

He's Just Not That Into You: Lame, lame. That Gigi character was the scariest needy lady I've seen in a long time. No wonder she was alone -- she just radiates "boiling bunny" vibes Taken: Harsh but a good action flick. I liked the fact that the lead character didn't try to save anyone but his daughter. It showed a realism that isn't often seen in that kind of movie Coraline: Creepy. I didn't really think it was a kid's flick. I really liked it, and now need to hunt down a 3D version Paul Blart, Mall Cop: I felt really uncomfortable during this movie, especially since so much of the humor in the movie was "look at the fat loser try to be heroic". Not something I want to see again. The Pink Panther 2: Horrible. Just horrible. I wasted $7 and 2 hours on this, and cannot believe it was actually made. Slumdog Millionaire: I got dragged to this because of the hype. Frankly, it just wasn't that good a movie. Very obvious where the plot was going, and the main thing it brought home was to NEVER go to India. New in Town: A lot of fun, if light on plot Bride Wars: Kate Hudson looks horrible in this one, Anne Hathaway looks good, but it's hard to really care about these two spoiled brats. Bedtime Stories: Well, it's an Adam Sandler pic. I didn't have high expectations, and it lived down to them.

I thought all they ate was Jello and Extra gum :eek:

To be fair, it's not really his looks that bug me. The dude is just a WHINER and that always rubs me the wrong way. Chance of a lifetime, and all I see is him crying and bitching about his knees.

Yup. It's Shar-pei :mad2::biggrin: I found his baby photo

This episode was a big "meh" to me. Really tired of brown ripple dad

Actually, most people are not symmetrical anyway. Ears, eye height, breast size, etc. So, it may be that you are simply highly focused on that area now. Do you have pre-op pics to compare against? I also second the swelling comment. You will not shrink the same on each side. Some areas will retain more liquid for a while. Give it a bit. I would start talking to the doc now about touch up, shouldn't be a huge process. (I actually wanted mine completely removed, but the doc didn't want to do that. Something about infection vectors. A shame -- I wanted to start a new religion :blushing:) Hang in there!

Wednesday. I'm supposed to whine, right? Well, I think I'll pass on that. I am indeed really sore right now, but it's the side effect of round 2 on my tummy tuck. I'm very excited about the shape I see in the mirror, and this time I fully plan on holding my own instead of creeping back up. I made the mistake last time of loosening the band "to promote healing", but I instead got lazy and fatter. Funny thing, the shape changed significantly but the weight is identical to pre-op. Next up is several weeks/months of swelling and draining and such, but if I keep my intake and exercise programs in place I should be looking good for beach season. No pics for a bit until I can move better.

I'm alive. Sore, bandaged and swollen, but alive :blushing:

Lipo pushed up! Got a call today. There was a cancellation, and so I'm going under the knife (or vacuum, I suppose) on Wed. Woot!

I think I'm pulling for green. I like Tara's attitude, but admit that I don't even know the name of her teammate.

Face it, I'm just not that into you :crying:

Well, it's been a while since I posted, but nothing much has occurred. I had a followup with the doc and as of now I'm scheduled for another round of lipo Feb 20. I really wanted the 16th, but so be it. Full anesthesia of course, lipo and some more trimming. I'm sure that it will also require the whole draining process etc. for several months after. Feh... There's a slim possibility that I might be hired before that point, if so the followup surgery will have to be pushed for a while.

Yup. Because each week stands separate, it makes sense to load up on as much temporary weight as possible just before the weigh-in. It makes your numbers the next week lower. Remember, these folks are quite literally drenched in sweat with their last-chance workout, and most don't rehydrate until after the weigh-in. Simply guzzling a lot of water post-workout will raise your weight. What they should do is make the yellow line each week dependent on total % weight loss from the beginning of the season. That will keep folks honest, and if folks have been rocking and hit a stall they won't get tossed out.

No reaction to last night's show? Or has the site been busted for everyone? Pretty clear waterloading on the part of the immunity pair. Sorry to see one of the guys go, but a bad week is a bad week. Should have been yellow, IMHO. You're there to work on a goal, freaking work on it!

I'm shooting for "average"

Dunno, but it needs to happen more

I disagree. It was obvious from the early episodes and the home episode that they were never truly friends. Carla is a domineering jerk, and I'm not surprised Joelle wants nothing to do with her. Joelle passive aggressive sabotage this episode? Yeah, probably -- but did you see the body language the MOMENT Carla showed back up? Hostile...

More than likely, the the producers wanted the bigger kid (I already forgot his name) on the show, and asked him if he had a fat friend to come along. I don't believe that the other kid really wanted to be on this show in the first place.

I'm having a reoccurring issue with the band tightening on me. I know there's day to day fluctuation, but this is more than that. I've had to have liquid pulled off twice now, and over the last week it's tightened again to the point of night reflux and interfering with all solids and even thick Soups. I tried talking to the office of my doc, but they don't seem to care at all about the issue and instead give me the "it's variable, deal with it" runaround. I will be camping in their office soon, but I was curious if others had this problem with long-term care. It seems that once you're a "success" the program doesn't want to keep spending effort on you. Anyone else feel the same?

Anyone have trouble with docs not taking long-term care seriously? I'm having a reoccurring issue with the band tightening on me. I know there's day to day fluctuation, but this is more than that.

So what is up with the BrownDad and his rolls? Did he already loose 100 lbs before the show? I tried looking on the official sites, but there's not a lot of information on him.

I agree. WTF is with that? I wonder if the promo guys are screwing with our heads on the upcoming "very special edition" next week?
