OHHH thank you for asking Kathy, cause i was gonn ask the same thing...ehehehehe that is the funniest thing i think i have heard all day, if it meanss what i think it means!!! I am soooo sorry (in advance) if I misinterpreted the meaning of it, but gosh, sure sounds funny in my head~~~

As far as the weight loss...everyone is going to do it at different times...and different rates. I did real good for the first five months and now things are starting to slow down for me. I know why, Im not exercising....but your DOWN 33 pounds....Thats a lot of potatoes~~~ Your going in the right direction~ better to be down 33 than up 33....YOUR UNDER 200 POUNDS~~ THATS AWESOME!!!!

Okay, so let me just ask then...and call me "out of the loop" I know I am! So "my band" is saying that 33 pounds in 6 months is about as much to see as a bees dick? Is that it? I was thinking it was some ebonics thing where it bees (is) dick (as in something bad) to have lost so little. Either way, I think it flew right over me. Cute saying though. Bees dick ain't much, I don't guess??? Sorry ya'll!!

Anyhow, my band, 33 pounds is great AND got you under 200 so don't give up yet!!!

[Guest myband]

Nooooooo! I mean a bees dick under 33Ibs....

I have lost 32Ibs and a little bit more.............nearly 33Ibs...so close that its only a bees dick away from 33Ibs.

Its an old saying here, meaning its so close that its only a bees dick away.!!!!!

I am rapt with my nearly 33Ibs weight loss, and was able to only have an entree size lunch today.

Anyway ar'nt all you Yanks supposed to be asleep at this time!!!!

regards....Myband

OOOOOhhhhhh! I get it now! Good golly. That makes perfect sense. LMBO!!! Cute saying, yes it is!! I'm not a yank but I am an East Coaster and yes, it's bedtime. I can sleep now that I understand the bees dick thing. LOL

[the best me 6]

myband, I just realized you are in Australia, so to you, I'm a Yank. G'night!!!

[Guest myband]

Gee I hope Yank is not a bad term.........is it?

I imagine its the same as calling me an Aussie!

Goodnight to you "The best of me" and I am off to work.......4pm here.

regards Myband

jenny, if you are hungry between meals, you need to do one of two things...change what you are eating (if your last meal was too mushy/liquid you need more solid protiens to keep you satisfied for longer...or you need to add in healthy Snacks. Most times a yogurt will do it. If it's a long time to the next meal (usually lunch to dinner for me) I'll also eat a 1/2 banana with Peanut Butter. Check out www.room42.com to see if your calorie intake is enough. Also click on this link to see if it's time for a fill. It has some great ideas for making sure you are following bandster eating rules and getting the most from your band.

My hunger goes up and down all the time. Some of it for me is "head-hunger" I suspect. I'm still working on it!!

myband, Yank is not a bad term, BUT! Here in the States we have something called a Mason-Dixon Line. It came about at the Civil War between the North and the South. Over Slavery. Folks above the Mason-Dixon are Yankees. I'm a proud Southerner who is glad the South lost. Slavery Stinks. Anyhow. I'm no Yank means I live below the Mason-Dixon line and moving "up north" would put me in such another world, I fear I wouldn't fit in. I might be surprised, but at my age, I'm sticking it out in the warmer climates. Too cold up there!!

Is being called an Aussie a bad thing? What does it insinuate? This is interesting. Anyhow, take care!

[jenny 1]

well that sure proved we are all on the same wavelength, like the one about the tweezers. and nothing to do with bands guy's but i just thought if you were american your nickname was yank like australians are aussie's but having said that over here i would be called a pommie b*****d and my friends could say it jokingly and thats fine but some have a sting in it, so please forgive us over here if we say the wrong thing its just a difference in expressions. Thanks for advice Kathy i tried yoghurt this morning great, i will go to address you gave now and read up

[the best me 6]

Hey Jenny, no offending with the Yank thing, really! Me being called a Yank by an Aussie is right on target! LOL

Glad the yogurt went well. It's a great snack. I even notice if I eat too big a bite of it or eat two spoonfuls back to back, close together...I'll feel it piling up in the pouch. It doesn't hurt, but it makes me slow down. Yogurt is yummy!!
