o2b--what is a nanaimo bar?

wore a size 16 suit to church this past Sunday....I started this journey in a size 20/22.

That's a compliment. some people just don't know how to give a compliment without commentary. Because he hadn't see you in a month, and you've lost quite a bit of weight (it's always more obvious to others) he assumed that you had "surgical intervention" as Star Jones put it.... If he hasn't known you to have a history of working out...he made an assumption that surgery was the cause of the weight loss. Gastric is a more common form of WLS--so it''s always the first things people think of.

O2B--You look GREAT!!!! I am so glad that you posted...seems as though your spirits are lifted once again..you seemed so down during your restriction difficulties...glad to SEE you back!!! I put my pix using an attachment and they came in small...how did you get yours so large?

thanx--lucy Stef---let me know when the bbq is---what's the other thread...I feel left out :confused:

Thanks suzzie---I'm jealous of your exercise bug....I'm trying to exercise at least 3 times a week but it's a chore...You and Stef make it seem so enjoyable when you talk about it UGH!!!!

Stef, nvalicia and wombat--thanks so much...you all know how to make a girl fill good!!! Here's my NSV--last friday some friends and I went to the mall during lunch. Iwas wearing an 18W suite--and thought I'll try on a regular 18....IT FIT...but that's not the end--the saleslady said--you really need a 16--I tried it on---IT FIT!!! SO SUNDAY, I DUG BACK IN THE CLOSET AND FOUND A SIZE 16 SUIT TO WEAR TO CHURCH----I LOOKED GOOD!!!! When I started this journey I was up to a size 22!!!!

Here ya go!!! If you know how to make the pix larger, please do so....These are preband 262lbs. and currently 214lbs...

Here ya go!!! I don't know how to increase the picture size. If you know how to do it, please fix it for me.....

If someone knows know to make the pix larger, please do....

Well...the moment has arrived....I'm celebrating my 6 month bandivesary about 3 hours early!!! I think I've done pretty well. The numbers on the scale aren't moving as fast...but the change in body size looks good!!!

Oh My....hubba Hubbba Hubba... Your Pix Look Great...it's Been A While Since We've Heard From You......how's It Going???? What's The Total Weight Lose For You? What Are You Eating?

Stef--I'm in Dallas...Where is the dress shop?

Dec.18th---that's my 6 month bandiversary

Stef, I saw your pix on the june 6 month thread...you look good!!!!

Stef....you're A Hot Momma!!!! I Am Following In Your Footsteps....protein And Being Cute---now If I Could Just Get That Exercise-thing Working For Me

My soft spot was a runny nose and a sneeze...but that was when I was too tight. I had a slight unfeel and now I don't have the "trigger".... I have started eating Carb Conscious Supreme Protein Bars...they are DEE LISH US!!! They are big, so I eat 1/2 for breakfast with an Activia yogurt and 1/2 for lunch...they are 300 calories and 4g sugar--so rather than a snack--it's a meal replacement for me...If you like chocolate and carmel..this is the one for YOU!!!!

congratz o2b and mystic!!! We're all in the journey together!!!! Anyone heard from Toni lately...I wonder how she's doing?

I agree with most of the comments about switching accents when with different audiences. I do take offense to labeling speech as "white" and "black"....I am still waiting on someone to define "talking white" and "talking black"

babygirl--I think that you are correct, we all switch according to our audiences. My question, again, is what is "talking white", "blacking it up"... Let's be clear--white and black are colors. Many may not want to admit it, but from these statements one can infer that "white is correct" and "black is incorrect" If I am mistaken, please give me an accurate definition of the two phrases. I have been wrong before

What does "sounds white" mean?....I thought "white" was a color. By "white" do you mean that she uses correct grammer? Can I infer that "blacks it up" means that she uses incorrect grammar? Once again, I thought "black" was a color.

Tomecia--CONGRATZ!!! Welcome to bandland....if you continue to have gas pains--get some GasX strips--take 2 or three of them at one time (they dissolve on your tongue) Also--GET UP and walk around your house--and if it's not too cold--walk around the block--the gas will go away. Be blessed

Longin2bethin--where in TX are you? Maybe we can call or get together for support.

Lucy....you Look Mar-va-lous!! Keep Up The Good Work!!!!

Try Supreme Protein Bars---they taste like a big ole chocolate bar...not chocolate covered bark...... They have 30g of protein-----------DEE-LISH--US
