Hi, all, sounds as if everyone has had a pretty good week.

for those of you yearning for a sports car, I have one for sale!! Primo 1978 Fiat Spider with 104K original miles! Nothin' like a convertible to make summer come alive!

Beautiful Xterra and lovely young woman! My first car was a four-door 1962 Pontiac Star Chief!! Woooo! It did have power though:cool2:. But then gas was only 19 cents a gallon....oh, those were the days!:tongue2:

Hope y'all have a good weigh in tomorrow.

Brandy!

My first car was hideous! I actually never got to drive it once. My father bought me this 1977 Impala. I turned 16 years old - 2 months after I graduated from High School. My dad said he'd fix the car up for me. It had no steering wheel and was missing some other important parts. First he said he'd have it done by my graduation, then by my 16th birthday, well, I headed to college 2 weeks later and I never got to drive it. While in college, I would house sit for different professors, they asked if I had a license, I did, so they would leave me their cars. One time, I had a Benz SLK, A Lincoln Towne Car and A Jag at my service all in the same week! Little did these people know, my driving experience consisted of driving my Mom's Dodge Cornet Stationwagon to church once a week, at the incredibly quick speed of 30 mph! "Slow down you're going too fast! Do you want me to drive?" Words, I heard every time I was behind the wheel!

Then I went to Haiti my sophomore year and drove all over that island! They have a motto when it comes to driving in Port-au-Prince, "First one there wins." All my roommates were too scared to drive, I had no fear! I think I was too stupid to fear!

My first car was a green VW beetle from the 50's. The floorboards were rusted through and you could see the road below. The back seat was "sprung" and if you sat on it it would catch on fire from pressing on the battery (yes, the battery was under the back seat). You could shift without putting in the clutch as long as you listened for the "sweet spot" of the rpms. I was driving on the highway once and somehow got it up over 45. Both running boards blew off and flew down the road.

No wonder I'm afraid to drive!

Can't wait to see how you all do on your weigh in tomorrow. I can't WAIT to have my surgery. I am so ready for this.

what a fun subject! My first car was a soft top black jacked up jeep and I had "Flyin Hawaiian" printed on it! aww memory lane. I had to get rid of it because I was pregnant, not a practical vehicle for a family. I want my next car to be a jeep!

But the first car I drove in HS (I had to share it with my brothers) was a red VW camper, we called it "the magic bus."

fun times!

The scale has been up and down daily, I am nervous for tomorrow...

it was more like fun-ny that I skated. i haven't laughed that hard at myself for a very long time...oh wait, I did say "oh look at the Unicorns" at the zoo! It was a fraction of a second, but the remark was out and everyone around me heard. I was doing a Colitis/Crohns walk at the zoo with a group of physicians. Talk about embarassing! I managed to laugh hard at myself then too!

About 20 years ago, I had a 72 VW Beetle..a beautiful green with custom roll and tuck interior. One day I looked out to the driveway and couldn't figure out why my car's windows were all blacked out. I ran out, opened the door, black smoke billowed out! I pulled the bottom of the back seat out and threw it on the lawn as it was smoldering (thank god no flames). What had happened was I had set two gallons of paint on the back seat earlier in the day. Whoever had the car before me put in a battery that was "too tall" for a VW (as mini said they are under rear seat). Anyway, as the cans bounced onto the seat, the springs touched the battery terminals causing sparks to fly and stuffing to begin smoldering. Three hours later I had a car full of smoke, a rear seat with a foot-wide hole burned into it, and a ruined interior!! Needless to say, insurance claims guy was a bit skeptical of my story, but the evidence proved me truthful. Story of the too-tall battery still amuses the men in my family.:tongue2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
