Ok Mandi, You started this!

We could use this thread for September's goals.

I would like to lose at least 8 lbs.

I will exercise at least 3 times a week.

I will be careful not to eat junk food. I better hurry and eat the cheese Crunches I bought today. I have 2 days to get rid of them. :hungry:

Good Luck to everyone in September!!

Damn Right the other Docters cuter!!!!

Dr. Cobourn has eyes that make you melt!!:faint: And to top it all off he has great personality, he's definately a cutie-pie!! But alas, I'm married (to a great guy,too). But I am still breathing and alive, and therefore can look!!!! and look, and look, and look, and I really should go for a fill!!

These are pictures I just took looking out my front door!

Thought I had the size resolved. I went back to edit the post, but for some strange reason that wasn't an option. OK now I see it, there is an option to preview changes. Everyday there is something new to learn.

Wowee... snow! We've just had rain for the last 2 days. Is there a resizing option when you post a picture? Or how are you trying to edit it?

Wheezy, sweetie, you've really got to work on the picture size...I"M ON DIAL UP!!!! Judging by Mandi's response, it must be snowing at your house. I could'nt wait 6 hours to see pic.....lol. If I start loading it first thing in morning, I might get to see it by night.

I tried resizing through the windows program. No can do. Then I tried resizing with software called Nero. I am able to resize when I e-mail photos. I am at a loss. No more pictures until I have this figured out.

sorry....Carey! I won't do it again. Will you forgive me? :embarassed:

Just found this posted by Beth in Seattle. Thought I would share it with the Canadian group.

I have a friend who tells a little anecdote when someone mentions WLS being the easy way out. She says "if you were in a burning building and you ran out through the front door rather than running upstairs and jumping out the window would anyone say you took the easy way out?"

Good One!!

That is a very good anecdote. I think that most people who have the band have already tried dieting and found their weight going down and up again. Diet works for very few people. I tried exercise. It made me feel good but I was still fat. And while I was getting my fill I met a young and very large woman who had gone through Dr. Bernstein's Weight Loss Clinic. She had lost tons but regained it again. For many of us WLS is the only way. I might become kinda nasty with anyone who criticized me for making this choice. What about you?

PS: Wheezy, I love the photo.

Tks Cloe....keep on callin' it!!!

Hmmmmm you didn't call me a TURDy did you??!!:rolleyes hmmm just might have been an insinuation mixed in there!

Green i tried all the diets too.The money i spent on Dr. Bernstein's ;all the diet books etc.; weight watchers , tops ;the list goes on.This is no easy way out. I have paid my dues. I wish i heard about the band sooner.Yes i would be pissed if anyone criticized me.
