That is great BG, I am glad that you can eat again. I had one bite of chicken and one bite of potato last night and I was done...stuck.....I hate that.....I think I am going to just start having cereal at night...save me from thinking I am getting a nice dinner and then not getting it.

Another Pound J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Are On A Roll J, Can You Pass Some My Way Girl????

The stress of what you are going through is not good for your body!!! You need to let us help you out....

Okay, I guess that it final then. We are all flying to BG's to kick some ass and take some names....they won't know what hit them...

J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE LOST 100 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR AWESOME HONEY! HP, you look awesome!!!

Oh, and my DH keeps calling me skinny..... I heart that!!

My fill takes effect right away I must say. After a week is when I notice it loosening up. Today my class is going to Orthopedics to practice putting on casts....how fun!!!!! I went to gym after class yesterday and rode the recumbent bike 8 1/2 miles....and then last night roller bladed for 2 and 1/2 hours.....Never stopping except to get drinks of water......I am in a little pain this morning... Happy Friday morning to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt day!!

It is suppose to snow today. I am going to the gym after classes today and riding the recumbent bike again. Then going skating tonight. I think that will qualify for exercise today.... AND I think we all know what we have to do to lose weight...its just whether we want to put the effort into doing it......right???? RIGHT?????

I love talking to you peeps. Its so real. My in life friends have no idea still what a fill is and what getting stuck means, even though I tell them a bajillion times.....its like they don't listen. Its nice to say here to you all...."I am stuck" or " I am getting a fill" and have you know exactly what is being said. Happy Thursday peeps!!!!

Hey! Don't let me stop you all from talking now!!

Awe B, that plain sucks!!! I am still trying to figure that one out. How could it take 2-4 weeks for approval for something the insurance company KNOWS you have and have to have filled regularly???? I would call the insurance company and talk to someone HIGH up there. BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your onederful, hot bitch in boots and skirts!!!!!!! You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a rock star!!!!!! You are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooooooo fucking awesome that you are 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My god girl....you deserve it...its been a long time coming for you!!!

Oh BG, I am sorry!!! You rock though girl and soon, it will be your boot they are feeling up their ass on the way out the door!!

Oh, and hear this one...a gal I go to school with says her dad had the bypass a little over a year ago and he slimes too!! Not only that but he gets stuck on foods. What the hell is that about???? I have never heard of any of this, has anyone else?????

Oh, and JC, glad to see you still have time for us ladies here. You know, WE did know you first!!!! B, where are you at????? BG, you are so awesome. I am so wanting to go running again. Too cold outside and I hope I can get the treadmill on Thursday. I just hope all the cute young college boys can keep their hands off of me.....LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't I wish that was my problem!!

I agree with J on the bitch part. We had snow today. Wind chills to 20 degrees. Wind blowing 30 miles an hour. No outside riding for me. BUT............ after classes today I detoured to the gym and rode the recumbent bike for 3.5 miles. I am definitely going back and doing it again. I loved it. I wanted to run on the treadmill, BUT, there was only one available, the other two were broke. What a piece of shit, I thought.....the university and only one freakin treadmill.....well, I am not going to let that stop me....I am going back on Thursday after class and then going skating again Thursday night. That is going to be an every Thursday night thing this winter. Nine bucks for the three of us to skate anywhere from 5-9.....VERy good exercise..... Jen, congrats on the band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just telling hubby last night as I was trying not to choke on the slime bubbling forth from my mouth that I was not thinking this whole thing was worth it. I had just ate two small, size of silver dollars, rice cakes, and then drank some juice. WRONG MOVE!!!!!!!! Slime attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the slime and burping more than the pain and stuckness.

Spritz, post this in the general threads or in the complications thread. You will get more response. I know nothing about gout.

I so wanted to be under 200 for the new year. I really really thought I would be too. Shit. That sucks. For me......ok....I still want to be in a size 12 by my year anniversary.....

I am here too. Had to go do some Christmas shopping for hubby this morning. I am back at it folks. I bowflexed this morning and after school tomorrow I am going to the University's gym and using the treadmill. No more cold weather exuses for me. These size 18's have me wanting 12's!!! I am so very proud of all of you. We rock!!!!

HP, good job on the pound. You go girl. Where is JC?????

Hey J, I don't have a BB so I don't know about it, but did you try tracking on your own too just to see what the difference was on paper compared to the bug????? Sorry you're having a crappy day. We are going to church. Yeah, me, going to church. I don't think a little religion hurts anyone. So, we are going. Will tell you if the building falls in on us. I love my new 18 jeans.....heart heart heart them!!

Oh, and peeps, I am up for losing 10 pounds in a month. I am so ready. I think I am so close to my sweet spot. I am not thinking about food since Monday. I am not eating all the time. I hope this is it. I hope. I hope.

Happy Thanks peeps..... I had a great day and even with the food. I had a little bit of everything I wanted and I did not over eat. I had some pumpkin pie, just the inside and I am having some more now before bed. Just the inside....I love it. I love whip topping. I love life. I love you all. HP, you rock girl. I cant' even say how happy I am for you. There is NOTHING like fitting into pants you could not before.
