That lady at the top.



Recommended Posts

I just don't get why on my computer she is covered up by an ad.

Everyone else seems to see her. I saw her on my daughter's lap top, but

not here.

That is strange. I have an ad on the top right of my screen, but not on the left.

She is on the top right on my screen. I can see parts of her sticking out. Right now all I can see is the top of her head.

Ok, I'm just kidding :angry_smile::biggrin::cursing:. The picture at the top of the forum is a stock photo. I have no idea who she is or anything else about her. I got a lot of crap for having a skinny/sexy gal the last time around so I tried to find a picture that more people could relate to. Quite obviously I didn't do the greatest job, but as I've realized in life, you can't please everyone.

I'd LOVE to have a REAL pic or multiple pics of real bandsters. If someone is interested in assisting me with this little project I'd be forever grateful.

Alex,

That would be wonderful!!!! "Eve" has been driving me crazy (and it looks like a few other people) since day one!!! I think it's a fabulous idea to rotate photos of posters from this board, after all, as you have probably noticed, there are quite a few hotties around here :angry_smile:.

I would be happy to help in any way that I can, but I think I should probably warn you that I have never posted images to a website, so I might need a little training.

Alex, I think my heart skipped a beat when I read your first post, lol! I'm soooo glad you were kidding! I love the idea of rotating bandsters pictures. There are quite a few people here that I would love seeing pictures of them posted at the top. Maybe their screen name and total weight loss could be posted with the picture. It inspires me to see real banded people's success and I'm sure it would inspire the newbies that are just starting out too!

I'd like to help out too. I'm a professional photographer so if someone else can collect the pictures, I can make a nice collage.

I'd be glad to take a nice high key white background picture of any bandster that wants to swing by and be photographed. :biggrin: I'd give one of mine, but I'm still fat, so that wouldn't motivate anyone. LOL

And, for the record, I never said anything about the woman PERSONALLY, just about the pose. So, I guess I was criticizing the photographer more than her, if you want to get technical.

I also think Boo should be the new girl at the top. Hell, she can photograph herself...ooops...but then she couldn't hold her own boobie in the photo. Boo is much more photogenic than the apple girl!

ALEX!!!!!!!!!! OMG....I wanted to die when I read that post...lol....good one..

I agree I think we all had issue with the pose, not the girl. :biggrin:

I think it really shouldn't be just one person on top. I think rotating would be great.

Lilo--thanks. I would be honored for sure! :smile:

I am graphic designer so I would be happy to help out in any way, I just can't photograph myself...lol....

Yay! This is going to be great! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Chickie, are you going to change your mind about having a picture on here? You are an inspiration to us.

      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!

      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.
