hahaha...Fiddleman are YOU seriously googling everything on here. lol. You can learn from us...

Hehe, fully immersed. Kind of like that scene in 13th warrior where he finally understands the German language after listening and not understanding for weeks. :) I tried this technique when I went to Italy 2 years ago, fully hoping to " get it" by the time the vacation was over. After being there 3 weeks, I had picked up on some phrases and could order about anything I needed. Also figured out when Italians were making fun of us silly Americans. I hope to become proficient in another spoken language other then English someday, but you know what they say about learning languages when you are older.

My hat off to all those people who can fluently understand and speak multiple foreign languages. You would figure that I could become more successful at it as I know 4 musical clefs for different instruments and about 12 different computer programming languages ( proficient in 5). Maybe these are used by a different part of the brain then the spoken and written language. Who knows?

Lol.. Don't worry. You can learn Spanish...it is quite easy! Why don't you try one WORD a day. once you know the meaning, then try utilizing it in a phrase or a sentence. I love learning... my next goal is trying to learn French or Italian. Oui Oui

Muchacha Que bien te vez. Great work! You are an inspiration. I can't wait until I see my body changing. I have pics of when I was skinny...then when I got big. Im thinking in about a month...ill give it a shot with the pictures...in order to see a diference visually.

Omg...I bet! Its spring here in Ct and it sure doesn't feel like it. I wish I can walk but I get bored easily...I see ppl jogging with their headphones on and I just can't seem to find that motivation.

It's going to be 79 today! :) i love it! I cant seem to get motivated either! Today is my 1 mo surgiversary! i guess i'm waiting till after i'm 6 weeks out...i was told thats when you're in the clear for leaks...i think i may hit a plateau soon too so working out may be good!

I have a friend in CT! He lives in Stamford. Another from Bridgeport! I hope to go to out east sometime this summer! :) love the east coast!

It seems like a long time ago because i feel so good! i have no more knee pain, my sugar levels are normal, it's awesome! i struggle with Protein intake and Water, but i'm trying. My incisions are completely healed and they are small. I only had 4 incisions. I've heard some people get up to 5.

Ive been to NY twice and fell in love each time! It's beautiful! So different! Yes California is beautiful, we have a little bit of everything and you never run out of things to do. My bff is from NY and he fell in love with Cali. When you do decide to come to Cali let me know, i'll tell you where to go. Just depends on what you're in to! :).

Oh and i'm hooked on all the Housewives...lol Atlanta, NJ, NY, OC and Miami! So addicting!

Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves! Enjoy your vacay whether or not you lose the 10-15lbs! Just keep in mind that you're on your way there! Thats half the battle!
