Miss California and Gay marriage
i just think its really sad that all people are still not getting equal rights. why is it such a problem to some people if two homosexuals get married. they make vows to one another... some do so in a church or temple before G*D... they get married in every sense of the word. I for one beleive G*D sees it as a holy union the same as with a heterosexual couple. My best friend is gay, and i want for him all the rights that i enjoy as a heterosexual woman. I want him to fall in love, get married, have children if he chooses to. i truely beleive in a G*D who created us as equal, and treats us as equals, loves us as equals. I feel sad for those who beleive in an intolerent, hateful G*D. amy

stalling BIG time!! HELPPPPP!!!!!
hi all im amy and Ive been banded nearly 5 weeks. I lost 15 lbs in the first 4 weeks and now I keep going up and down 1 lb. I am very frustrated seeing as if I can only eat 4oz at a time. I don't even have a fill, but cannot eat more than 4oz! so I don't think that is the problem. I am eating healthfully and eating every 3-4 hours to keep my matabalism up. I haven't yet been approved for any physical exhurtion, but I've been moving ALOT. Please if anyone can give me advise I would really appreciate it as I am really frustrated PLEASE HELP! amy

1 month post op and loving it!!!!
I have been banded for a month now... I remember thinking before surg. that i would mourn food... and i don't at all bc i am able to eat what i like in proper portions. I eat 4oz of food at a time and i am satisfied for 3-4 hours. it is awsome. Ive lost 15 since surg. and 21 total. I don't even think i'll need a fill for awhile. I wish everyone lots of luck and i hope you all lose a ton of weight!! amy

biggest loser - '09
I read the article, and i felt so bad for her. Its bad enough to be obcessed with losing weight, but to have the extra pressure of the whole world watching u... uggg that has to suck. The poor thing feels shame for having a normal body after a baby. Im glad i have the band and won't ever yo-yo diet ever again. amy

Why do women have anal sex?
ok this was the best tread I have ever read!! It was very educational. I myself have to pass on the anal sex. I don't think i can even wrap my brain around it. My husband is very well endowed and i was afraid to have regular sex with him when i saw it... so to have that in my rear... OH DEAR... HELL NO! I don't have anything against it, but it's just too scary a thought for me. More power to you gals who love it!! amy

Should I be mad at my husband for looking at dirty pictures?
I think that if you asked your husband not to do something and he does whatever it is ive asked him not to do then he has disrespected you as a wife. it doesn't matter if it has to do with porn or anything else for that matter.. id be mad for the deception and sneakiness. I hope all is well now for u! good luck amy
