Not a problem at all, I just hope your hubby gets to feeling better very soon... *hugs*

Hey EVERYONE, whether you made goal or you simply came close - YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!! The fact that you even tried is the real goal here... it's just a means to keep us moving in the right direction. That's what this is really all about. I missed my goal by 5.8 Lbs. Oh well!!! I've been working really hard and I know I can't let that make me feel like I failed because I sooo have NOT done that. All that meant is that I was being a little unrealistic not taking into consideration that my weight loss would slow down significantly the closer I got to goal. I just needed to readjust for the next one that is more attainable. I was more disappointed that I missed being in the "Overweight" BMI category by .2 Lbs... hahaa!! It's all good folks, we'll get em next time. Keep up the good work and ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE!!

So, it's been many months... even years since I've seen some of my family members. Their eyes bugged straight out of their heads and was even unrecognizable to some of them. It was a lot of fun. My brother said I better stop losing weight now or else I'm going to start looking like this guy: I know... not very nice but if you knew our relationship you would think it was pretty funny... I did!! I also have a very thin cousin who's always had the perfect body IMO. She just about died when she saw my arms. She shouted at the top of her lungs "OMG YOUR ARMS ARE SO DAM* SKINNY!!!!" LMAO!! That was pretty funny too. You know what's weird though is that I really don't see it. She's still skinnier than me but I'm gonna catch her... heehee. I love her lots though. We are built almost identical and when I'm her size I know what I'll look like. She also had an augmentation so I know EXACTLY what I'll look like. She's a DD even!!! ...and no she doesn't care that I'm mentioning all this on a website, she's always talking about them to anyone who will listen! She deserves it too, they look amazing!! BTW, I'm using her surgeon most likely! I do appreciate her though because she totally defended me to all the folks there who kept telling me to stop losing. She gets it because in all honesty she's very thin but she's also been one of those who constantly say she wants to lose more. It's crazy because before I could never see it... but tonight I did. I seen it in her belly. It's not bad at all, but yeah if she wanted to lose 5 or 10 she talks about I totally get it. Is that something normal? Does anyone else notice little chubby flaws in others that they never even dawned on before? THAT was bizarre to me. Anyway I hope everyone else had as great a 4th of July... it was so nice to see all my family. I have a GREAT family!!!

Excellent post!! You get it... I guess for real we are just going to have to learn to live with it now because we did was totally permanent and I know it would be incredibly difficult for me to gain my weight back (speaking only for myself of course). I cannot eat bad too much, it makes me physically ill. LOL!!

I think 1PM is great! We'd probably have to meet for coffee or whatever before since Kim has to go to be at her class by 4. Don't want to risk her being late.

Ok, my official starting numbers... I do feel slightly disappointed though, I am I believe .2 Lbs from being overweight... LOL!!! ____________________________________________ SN..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal LilMissDiva.....185.8..............185.8...........172............13.8

Funny you ask, I actually have some samples coming on their way (about 5 of them). They should be here by then and I'll give them to you. I'll just get me some more - no problem. I do love unjury though!

It is really a strange thing... Candace that is hilarious!! I must try this sometime...

Kelly I will take your Unjury's! Is there anything you've been wanting to try out? Let me know and I'll bring it for you in exchange.

No, it is NOT just for RnY folks... and for me, yes the symptoms are just as loud and proud as they ever were. I'm almost 10 Months post op.

Sure! Will just to see if this works for Foxbins.

2 or 3 maybe? That way I can get some things done before... let's decide! This would be about an hours drive for me.

How about Friday July 8th? It's my RDO and can make it all day... it's only about 45 minutes from my house to Vacaville. I would be wide open and maybe we can all have some coffee or lunch? LOL this should have been in our Nor Cal group huh??

Yes OK July 9th at the Hayward Starbucks here (Right off the 580): Castro Valley & Lake Chabot - CV 2720 Castro Valley Blvd Castro Valley, CA 94546-5412 510-888-0420 This store is currently open! Hours today: 5:00 AM – 8:00 PM View schedule for next 7 days Directions Share

Oh wow only $29? I was expecting MUCH more than that... yes, def coordinate to go do this I will call them once you schedule an Appt to go the same time as you. Whoohoo!!

I get dumping too, and the further out you get the better your brain starts to remind you: "Should I have that? What will happen if I eat too much?" For me, this has been one of the best side effects from my surgery. I absolutely cannot eat a lot of sugar or even a lot of fat in one sitting. I have to remain mindful of portions etc, and never over-do it. I have sweets once in awhile but it's never more than just a tiny portion. In fact yesterday I had some cookie, I didn't even eat a whole one. Just a few bites even, and it did make my heart beat a little fast but that was the extent of my body's response to it. I think anymore and I'd been a mess!

Thank you! I will check out the link I usually don't have time to actually take classes and having a home gym keeps me doing my workouts. However, finding one workout class won't hurt I'm sure.

Great, let me know
