Thanks Manatee! That sounds like a good honest guy's point of view. I saw your before and afters on the other thread and you look really good! One little compliment for ya, your shirt is too big!! and.....I don't see the thirty pounds, Honest to God, I don't! Have a good one!

Denise-He has seen my dated profile on match........It has pix of me twenty pounds thinner maybe I should make him wait for twenty more pounds.........more on dilemma later, let me think! LOL

I hope your arm gets to feeling better! I have arm, shoulder, and back pains myself and they are a pain! I have had and MRI done a couple of times and they come back and say "Oh, it's must be muscular!" blah blah I don't think it is and am hoping that with some of this weight off, they will find something! Hey, when are you going to have some updated pix? I keep a close eye on your thread because you are short , as I am, and look to see what is possible after all the hard work!! Take Care Ghostie!

Yes, he knows that I had this surg and that I am overweight, he doesn't know how much. And......I guess crisp is right! If he likes me, Ok and if not, OK. My life will not change! Thx Guys! Crisp--All is well there???? =)

Ok, but I do like him and I am afraid that if I am not thinner when we meet that it will have been different if I were thinner, ya know? Now, what do you think?

OK, here's one.......I have a date of sorts next week. I was thinking that I would be 175 by now but AM NOT...I don't want to go but I have talked to this person on and off for a long time. What should I do?

Bobbi-What are some of the songs on the CDs?

I have a strong feeling that she noticed just isn't going to say. That is how my friend would be too!

I think it all lies with the right fill. I ,too, have been slow since I need a fill. i don't think I have lost anything in over a month. However, I did have that good restriction that everyone hears about for approx. 3 weeks after my last fill. So, I am hoping that with this one, it will last a little longer and so forth. I have 3.25 in a 4 right now.

My weight loss has stalled for a month now. I get my third fill on Wed. Last time I was at 3.25 and I am amazed that I didn't have more success with this much fill. Any helpful advice?

I think the only thing that will change with me is my confidence level. I have extremely low self esteem and so do one group of friends. I do not think that they will be able to take it but I had to do what was right for my health and give me a chance at happiness. Actually, one got so jealous when I bought a house she didn't talk to me for almost half a year. Just couldn't stand it. I know this and accept her for who she is and I have learned not to tell her much about anything! I guess it's a "surface level" friendship, you know someone to do things with but not much else. So.....we'll see!

Congratulations Fran! Keep it up! What is your exercise routine?

Yes, I had mine 24 hours after you! However, my exercise has been nothing like yours! lol However, I am starting to do better this next week. After all its the first week back at school after xmas break. I am about to check out your execise schedule!

Glad to hear everything is going well JC! WooHoo! Manatee- I had the same problem with my luggage when I went to ITaly. There I was in Rome with no luggage for two days! Be so thankful that you are home without the luggage instead of a country where you don't speak the language. I remember worrying because there are no "bargain" stores over there, pure fashion with the high prices! lol Being a teacher, that was going to hurt big! It will find you! Glad to hear ,other than that, you had a good vacay. I am trying to figure out where to go to next! Missy-You LOOK AWESOME! Greyhnd-Date when you feel you are ready! It's all about the confidence thing! Denise-Things should pick up now that you put your pic on your profile! Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

I ate Chinese Combo. Rice on NYE, not much, but it did go down as long as I ate slowly! Rice and I don't get along too well, so slow was key!

Daddy are you still swimming?

I HATE the side fat! I worry that it will still be here at 135!

LOL, what a great topic Georgia! =)

Yes, Bali are my favorite when I am my regular size. However, since I gained half a person in one year, nope they don't fit the same! I guess I gained weight weirdly!

I am not a Dr. but I have heard that A) Eating frequent 5/6 small meals will kick your system into working to digest the food again. Thus, speeding it back up. The more muscle mass you have, the more oxygen your body uses, and the faster your metab. will be. C) When exercising, speed up then slow down repeatedly so your body is constantly having to change. NOW, I am not a Dr. and do not know which of these is "true." However, it is what I have been told. So, please, don't do any without consent! Hope your process goes well!

Manatee~ How'd your vacay go? What all did you end up doing? Anyone else have any fun news?? I don't! LOL

OK, I got non-wired 18 hr. bra that comes in the box. It doesn't look matronly like some do but it'll do for now! I got it at Kohls. Usually, they are on sale for 40/50 % off.

Happy New Year! I plan to stay on top of my fills this year so that I can get to goal! I haven't been the best with fills. My 3rd one will be on Jan. 16th. Exercise should be coming around to help melt it off, I am working out with a trainer every two weeks and continuing on with what they give me.
