Oh I said that because if you are a body builder calculating bmi is a little different and takes more than just standard bmi calculations...

BUT WE ARE ALL FAT...

I'm not fat, I'm big boned B-)

Yet, if my comment should have been the last, you are still throwing out some personal attacks. ( I'm not too much into those today as I finally poo'd after 15 days. This is a day to Celebrate for me!)

For the record, I am a Martial Arts Instructor. I do the protecting in this house with my wit, personality and one hell of a roundhouse if needed. B)

Yup, I sure did. After the personal attacks kept coming in. As a Martial Arts instructor, you would not recommend someone continue taking an attack and not defend themselves, right? Sadly, we live in a high crime state, where a gun is faster. Lots of SVPs keep moving in and we have a major department of corrections up-roar right now, with our director having been murdered a few months back. I am definitely not an instructor, but have done work in both Aikido and Muay Thai for a women's self defense class to prevent violent crimes. However; home invasions are frequent and fast, usually done by 5-6 people (young disrespectful kids) and I have two daughters to protect when my husband is out of town working. Firearms are faster in the middle of the night. We've already had two burglaries (two different locations here in Colorado) despite having a Shar Pei and alarm. Here, people rob the same gas station over and over wielding a ball peen hammer! The shame in what took place here is that most people cannot pick up tone over text (just like they couldn't with your comments). As a Law student and LPC student, with a sociological and juvenile criminal justice background, I just have to call things like they are, and in school we have been taught never to assume anything, therefore I am not going to assume the gal who originally posted made a typo. (Especially since I have seen the same numbers in other posts she had made). :-D

If the "attack" is physical, heck no. If it's verbal, absolutely. "Walk away, talk away" is always the best solution. I give very little weight to how someone else feels about me, especially if that someone is a person I will never meet in "real life".

I certainly try not to stoop to someone else's level if they are throwing out personal attacks over a computer. Do I screw the pooch and act like an ass sometimes? Sure! I'm human. That said, I am also always happy to hold out an olive branch when I figure out I was just as wrong as they were because I played the same game they were. :D

Lipstick Lady -

Thanks for making me laugh so hard I cried

It's very clear that lipsticklady was being both humorous and sarcastic. Those of you' date=' who couldn't figure that out, show your ignorance and lack of intelligence very blatantly. Though lipstick lady was probably commenting on mine and someone else’s spelling corrections, it sounds like the rest of you have far too much time on your hands. I went and took a nap, come back and see my inbox filled will idiotic replies, and you all thought I was the pain in the A**? Why don’t you look at yourselves? You try to point the finger at me that I didn’t leave it alone, yet you have all carried on like nags beating a dead horse over ill relevant topic.

By the way, this is neither England nor Australia. Isn't Australia where all the convicts were sent, from England, during the 18th and 19th century? (Not saying that's fair or that I agree with it, but if we want to go tit for tat then let's have at it.) [/quote']

Wow, that's really inappropriate. I did not know this was an AMERICAN site. I thought people from all over the world were welcome here. You are the type of American who gives Americans a bad name. And yes, white convicts were sent to Australia from England. This site is not about tit for tat but how dare you criticize Australians given the way that African Americans were treated. You sidelux06, are rude, insulting, racist and an all round arseh0le! If this comment gets me kicked off this site then it was worth it! Perhaps, and I mean perhaps, you are intelligent, but you are socially inadequate and a disgusting human being.

Dude, this is the Internet. Not all of the people on VST are in 'merica. And since it's the Internet, you can learn about the BMI, from lots of .gov websites, or you can keep making a fool of yourself.

And by the way, the convicts were only sent to Australia because the Brits had to stop sending them to Georgia after they lost the revolutionary war. While you are searching for .gov websites, find some about history.

This dude isn't a dude, she is a mature woman with kids. Bad enough when I thought it was a 23 year old stuck up male, but looking back through her posts, I feel even more disgusted.

Oh, and there were absolutely no racist comments made by my post. Especially to compare to African American slavery by neither whites nor their African counterparts (which continue’s on genocide today) nor am I “white”. I’ve already stated what I study. I learned about it through the barbaric “corrections” process that Europe once held. I commented on your English grammatical comment, not about slaves, and simply brought up how Australia was populated aside from Aborigines. You’ve got some issues. I believe you need to sit and do some reflecting. Especially to allow someone on the “internet” to get you so fired up. Oh, and I never said I was a “proud American” either. Frankly, this is the worst country I’ve seen. We have the highest violent crime rate, the highest incarceration rate, the highest use of illicit drugs, and were an economic mess. America’s the laughing stock of many other countries. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. If you took it out of context, that is on you. I am not in control of your reactions, you are. Not my chair, not my problem.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
