The Biggest Loser - good or bad?
I LOVE this show and have watched it regularly since it first aired..... although in seasons past I watched it while eating crap! It gives me motivation and focus.............. Sure the 10lb a week losses are not REAL world stuff but it is still motivation for me........ Those wanting to go on the show and have their lives exploited... well.. it IS giving them a chance to get out of their comfort zone and time for them to re establish themselves.. and heck some of them change their careers (like Drew who is now a public speaker) Last night............ Neil......... he will be voted off soon.

Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
GOOD MORNING!!!!!! I posted on the other thread that the scale flashed 209.8 for a SECOND before settling on 210.2... The last time I was this weight was November 2005..... I really want ONEderland by Thanksgiving. I THINK my fill has loosened up a bit because last night I was able to slowly eat an entire bowl of chili..... I had filled the bowl only half way but then went back for the other half...... I think I needed it for the protein and calories though.... Yesterday: Coffee w/ sf creamer WC oatmeal w/milk Tomatoe Soup w/milk OhYeah PB wafer Chili 1 glass of dt dr pepper 1 22 oz glass of water this was pretty spread out during the course of the day and as always I don't eat past 7p

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!! I had ice on my windshield this moring!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not ready for defrost yet! I'm making chili tonight for dinner....... I am bouncing right now... anywhere from 210-214........ I REALLY want to be 199.9 by Turkey Day. My Next fill appointment is set for 11/26/2007...... I have been at my sweet spot since August and and really dropped weight since then.... I was hoping to hurry up and get to ONEderland before hitting a major plateau.... but with my luck I'm going to be at one right now........... I have a 4cc band and am nearly at 4cc's in it....... however my doc says I can be overfilled to 5cc's or so... I am really tight... I think Laura and Jenn would be freaking out if you both were at my level...... but it is the right level for me at this time. I am still struggling with eating too fast.. it gets me every stinking time. OK.. time to go get my WC oatmeal!

LOL.. you guys are so funny! I still have to break this to DH! He didn't take it so well the last time I left for a girls weekend.. he is NOT USED to a woman that would leave her man in the dust... I kind of hinted about this last week and he just laughed and shook his head.. like everyone was crazy.... So Michelle, do you have a big SUV or Van to carry a load of Violets???? I could not miss this...... I was feeling all sick and sad after I posted my NO.

Unfriendly Friends
Unfortunately sometimes those closest to us are our worst sabatours. Just like other life events..... death, divorce, having kids..... sometimes the relationship doesn't survive. You are shaking THEIR comfort zone, by being a success at something they may not be able too... also as the pounds come off and you start seeing results YOU will feel BETTER about yourself and that empowerment might threaten their ALPHA role in the relationship......... Good Luck with your friend.

I am so emotional right now.. I doubt I will be able to focus on work………….. it was like a huge balloon of stressed air was released from my body….. Poppa Terry and Charles were both there and I just started sobbing when I hugged Terry…….. so much relief…... and a tinge of sadness… because I know that Damon does love Robby.. he just can’t emotionaly or physically step up…….. it is better this way and that is what finally got him to sign was me saying…. “It’s whats best for Robby” and he just said very softly….. “I know”

HE SIGNED THE PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (He signed the consent to the step parent adoption) He met us at my lawyers office this morning. He was crying and we all thought he would back out but he signed the consent, he read everything twice…… the consent, the petition for adoption, the release from child support…. And he took notorized copies of everything with him. After he signed them I busted out in a sob saying THANK YOU Damon! He was crying for regret and tears of immense RELIEF were streaming down my face…. Even the assistant started crying, and Charles shook his hand and Damon told Charles to take care of him. Charles said he would make sure that he got pictures. Man oh man he looked rough.. any weight he had lost had found him again and his hair was longer than I’ve ever seen it. And he is getting some major dry skin wrinkles. I’m sure this act will start a day long drunk……. Sherry did not show up.
