Thanks guys!

I actually got hit on tonight! Not something that ever really happens to me, but anyways, he seemed really nice, was attractive and clean cut and funny. So, I gave him my number for us to text and see what happened from there. So we began texting and he was so complimentary, but then......... Why is it men have to turn texting into SEXTING??? Yes, sex is part of life, but come on! How about spending time getting to know something about someone before bringing it up.....on the first night? Sorry that I'm on a rant here, but it just sucks.....I was so excited. Now I have to wonder if it's him or if I put out some sort of vibe that says that would be okay.

It looks like more of a weigh loss than 50 pounds to me. Looking good, congrats!

Amazing! Congrats

Okay, we all know that as we lose weight, we begin to carry ourselves differently and some of us make changes. Well, last weekend I got a haircut, a completely different look. I always wore my hair in a bun to work for the last several months, but Monday I went in with my hair down. Needless to say, it got a good bit of attention and comments. But what I didn't know about was what happened on the other side of the room until one of my friends told me - one of the new guys fell out of his chair trying to get a look at the "new girl", lol! I don't think I stopped smiling the rest of the night

Thank you, and congrats to you on meeting your first goal, I can't wait to get to Onederland myself. Lol, I was hoping I wasn't the only one who thought so Thanks! Yes it does........oh lordy, I hope not, I don't date coworkers, it's so awkward.Wow, you're just kicking butt and taking names aren't ya? Congrats on your loss, it's amazing!

Awwww, thank you so much!

We had surgery very close in time, and our weight losses are somewhat in line with each other. I admit I have fears of never even reaching Onederland, much less goal. Then I look around the site and see those who are still losing at 18 months. So it sounds very promising for hopefully both of us! Good luck and keep working it!

One of the best tasting purees I had was the inside of a soft taco from Taco Bell (minus almost all the lettuce). You can add more protein by adding in some refried beans as well.

I was off for 6 weeks since my company does not allow you to come back to work with restrictions of any kind. I had to use all of my sick and personal time but did not have to use any of my vacation time. After that, short term disability kicked in. I t really was not much of a hassle as far as paperwork. I would recommend talking to someone in HR to see what your company's procedures are for applying for short term disability.

Hi all, I just needed to vent and get some opinions from others. So, I went out to eat with my mother tonight to Ruby Tuesday's (can we say yum?) She had weight loss surgery almost 30 years ago and I have had mine. I choose to be kind of tight lipped about my surgery and she will openly tell anyone about hers. So we ordered our food, appetizers for both of us and she was telling the waitress that we both have reasons that we can't eat that much, yada, yada, yada without ever "saying" we had surgery. She did the same kind of thing when we got to go boxes for our food. Now, granted she has done this explaining ever since she had her surgery, but it aggravates the dickens out of me. I mean, really, does the waiter/waitress really care what you order or how much you eat of it??! Do I owe them an explanation? No! However for some reason she feels she has to explain it, and now explain it for me as well. I have told her how I feel about it, but it doesn't change anything. It's just frustrating! Anyways, how do feel about it - do you explain or not when you go out to eat. By the way, if I were asked if the food was okay, because of how little I ate, I would just say "Yeah, my eyes were just bigger than my stomach." Lol, how true is that now? Thanks for the read, look forward to some opinions on this.
