losingjusme

i mix pink lemonade and a little fruit punch. be careful with the fruit punch though, it's been known to cause migraines/severe headaches.

shrimp is excellent! top it off with a little spicy salsa ... YUMMY!!! lean beef is good. sorry to hear about your mom, glad they caught the bad heart. she doing well now?

mazie, thanks for your comments ... i appreciate it! :confused: you can so do 100 by christmas, concentrate on lean Protein and veggies ... YOU CAN DO IT!! my goal before surgery is to lose another 20 pounds. right now i am in the losing inches mode i guess, pounds are few and far between but last month i lost 2.5 inches... i just want to get as fit as possible for the surgery so i can have a quick recovery..

at 6xl I just prayed it would fit... I am now in a large from Lane Bryant catalog..

i was lucky with the band - insurance covered it. the PS - DD(ad) is financing for me... 3 year loan, wooo hooo... and no, i didnt tell him about the Mons Lift ... i cant even bring myself to tell DH...

that's the point of RnR though ... you CAN have drama & bs ...

any luck Pip? i could sure use one now ...

LOL, Laura, i do the same thing ... 73 days!

i am staying on plan today because it's been a REALLY crappy day at work and i do not want food to be my outlet anymore.

off to go run.. actually sitting in the parking lot finishing a song... 'lips like sugar' I love the 80s!!

whos, you make it ... k? great job on the runs ...

i have a date... it is a little later than i'd like, but it will give me lots of time to get in the best shape possible for the surgery. now all i need is my boss to say OK that i can move my vacation. oh boy...

egorsgirl, Dr. M was my surgeon, i had absolutely no problems. good luck!

good times, i am trying to get it scheduled right now. full TT with muscles stitched and a mons lift.

LMAO! i can relate. it is just a scary thing being that large ... i avoided all shops until i weighed about 350, mostly because even the Avenue size 30/32 didnt fit and the thought of being 'defeated' by even the largest size they carried was just devastating. now, i love to shop (just ask DH ). i am in 14/16 or 18/20 tops and 20/22 bottoms (i really wish they made that size instead of 18/20 or 22/24). i went from not being able to wear Avenue clothes due to them being too small to not being able to wear them due to them being too large. now all i need is to take that "W" away from the size. i dont even know where to start at a 'normal' clothing store.

DH is simply amazing. he likes the fact that i am losing the weight for me, but it does benefit him too ... he does not know about the mons lift, its not something you just bring up, ya know? we both know that i reallyyyyyy need it (tmi, sorry, but can you say scrotum? :speechles) he is very proud of me and just wants me to be happy.... i think i will be more proportioned after the procedure... i have a 40 bust, 38 waist and 52.75 hips ... that's just so wrong. and yes, i am big boned, but the bones arent that big...

rain, me too ... i think the extension would be great... did i mention i hate my weight right now?

false. snopes is your friend... Urban Legends Reference Pages: Who Is Barack Obama?

... i type in all lower case, sorry if it offends some ... and apparently, i have a thing for ...'s

i exercised like a fiend and have very saggy, pug like skin... i still exercise, but nowhere near as intense as before - - i need to work on that.

Rain, i am so proud of you! you are doing an amazing job!!

you look fabulous!!

exercise and just being with my family more. i need to go back to exercising 1-2 hours a day though. it really does help.. oh, and shopping... :heh:

SueSue, sorry to hear about your fur son.... hope they can get things figured out soon.
