Oh... and my weekend? Not much to report. I'm going to Walmart tonight to buy an elliptical machine. I need to do some changes to my workout to get back into it. I think I just staled and it wasn't fun anymore. So... I'm spending my weeking putting it together and playing on it. Of course can't forget the Farm Town now!! I posted this in another thread but I bought some Skechers Shape-Ups shoes. They are freakin awesome shoes, no lie! I did one mile in them and felt like I would after doing 3 in normal athletic shoes. I will always love them! Can you hear the tune playing in your head? LOL

Have fun Melissa! BTW, OMG you are only 28 Lbs from goal. That is so fantastic!

Beth, yes focus on school. It will open so many doors for you. I just wish it didn't take so long for me to figure that out!!

I had no idea what you meant Glou.. so I was going to reply:

Holy Smokes Girl!! Look at ur skinny arse! LOL You look great! I wanna get there so bad... My review of these shoes are they are one in a million. I really love them and are worth every danged penny I spent on them. When your walking you can really feel that burn. I really truly felt like I did when I was jogging before - super sense of accomplishment. I was having to walk at LEAST two miles before I started to feel like I was doing any kind of workout. With these shoes I started to feel it from a quarter to half mile. They are great!

LULU: You are a good friend to have! Bless you! Kat: You have been through alot and we have much to learn from you. You are a classy and well thought out lady. Thank you for being you. Didn't think I"d see this did ya?? Ha! Well i did! Now what? I don't really know.. LOL Don't wanna git all ghetto up in here! I wanna get my mouth wired shut. I'll let you know after I do. Oh I love the Farmers Markets! All the flowers and fruit, can't beat it! I like the really big ones where you can buy soap and clothes for like a buck. Fun! :lol: Just deserved an encore! I love sports! I love them more than my DH! Go Kings! Go Giants! Go 9ers! I'm gonna take this quiz when I get home. I mentioned I hate Ghetto. I have a feeling I'll be hatin myself. :thumbup: That place is a blast for kids! I used to love it there. I would always beg my Mom to take us. You will like it. :wub: We've been having some outstanding weather lately. No heat!! It can get really hot here if it really wanted to. GFY Lulu! Get your workout on! I just wanted to share something. I bought some really freakin great athletic shoes. I'm sure most of you have heard of em already since this IS a health related website. It's called Skechers Shape Ups. They are really badass! I did only one mile in them and I feel like I did 3!!! :eek::eek::eek: Loving it! I haven't that great since I used to run. I miss it so much! :tt1: Skechers at Kohls.com I didn't get these from Kohl's I got them from Macy's for total 87.00 which includes our sales tax. I just couldn't find the exact pair on the net so I found it at Kohls. I have the Black/White pair. Here's a pic if you don't wanna click the link. Also, I'm going to go out and buy an elliptical machine tonight. Walmart has some great deals on Golds Gym! It was only about 500 bucks and since I got it I might as well buy something worth while. Anyway, hope everyone has a great day!!

yeah, what s-n-t said.

That is awesome! Best wishes with the new bebe :biggrin:

You're quite welcome. Glad I could help :sad:

No, thank YOU. :biggrin:

gg, hey girl!! Nice to see you! :-D Especially since now I know I'll have another neighbor soon on FT. ROFL!! JK of course - but really... The real reason I need more friends on facebook is because I feel worthless unless I'm loved. The only way I feel loved is with numerous friends on the internet. So, what are you waiting for?? True the Apps really are time consuming. I finally found one I used to have on MS - which I deleted because there were too many weirdos on there. Yeah, imagine how awful they really were - coming from this weirdo. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. The app is Super Pets.. Gawd I loved that app! My kitty was so kick ass! I miss her, but now I've got a bunny I need to care for. She's following behind nicely; she'll do. She does need to do a little better with the battles though. I don't want no loser pet. :biggrin:

ROFL!! Really that's not it. I have over 30 or so neighbors already... LOL!! ...but ...but ...but - why did I have a feeling someone would ask me that??? haha!!

Oh my dear VV's!! My are we struggling??? It's such a great heartache for all of us. Lori, never feel like you are being silly because you lost your cat. I've been through that before - and I see it again on my horizon. My little buddy is getting up there, and is definitely slowing down lately. I try to ignore it, but in my heart I know it's looming. Probably not in the too near future I hope, but it's coming. Ugh, I even feel tears just thinking about it. We have for the many of us been dealing with weight gain. I know for a fact now its much more common than many might think. So many have this false hope that once they have the band that they will lose weight "forever". Well I really try to stress that, that is a false hope. Not in a bad way, but to make sure they understand that no matter what you do - YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. The band is not some magical wizard that is going to do this for you. It helps, sure - but its more like - 10% Band - 90% Willpower. It still beats the 100% willpower though, no? My vacation was super! I just re-charged and I feel great. Now I have to get back to getting up early again. I feel sleepy! Only got about 5 hours sleep!! Anyway, back to what I was mentioning... I am seriously going to get back my weight loss mojo. I am going to be super strick for the month of August. I'm only going to have my 3 square meals - and my lunch and dinner will be strictly portion controlled. My only Snacks allowed are fruit or beef jerkey. No sliders, ie yogurt or whatever. I need to eat things that I know wont leave me hungry again too soon. Good luck and as always - KEEP SWIMMING!! This truly is a life long battle. The good thing is there is no limit on how many times we can try again. :biggrin:

Ah so this thread did die? LOL I was wondering. Thanks to all of you who made it so memorable! Now it rests in the LBTHOF

I was able to find it at Wal-Mart.

G2 is good, it has electrolytes but only 25 cals per 8 oz. That isnt bad, especially considering you won't get many calories in per day anyway. When I was preparing for surgery I made a shopping list. I still have it... however I'm not sure why. That's neither here nor there though. :thumbup: I hope this helps! PS you can change it to whatever you want it to say. LAP BAND SURGERY SHOPPING LIST.doc

Hello Ralop and welcome to LBT! Um, let's see... I would just love to be able to run again. I have two knee surgeries to get through and get myself to a reasonable weight that my knees can sustain the shock. Sounds great to me! I agree, no longer being obese is a great prize. :thumbup:

Oh darn, my mistake! Wow, TG you all are here to help with the tough vajayjay questions!!

Sorry Beth, gotta disagree with you on this one. Bandsters aren't supposed to consume fizzy beverages. :-(

Hey it's what I'm good at, finding threads that are completely meaningless and ridiculous. I mean, I have been posting in this thread for - what? - over a year now?

Ask me about sex and I can answer anything... ask me about blackberry's and come up with nada. Sorry. :bored:

I cant see the pic here at work but that sounds great! Congrats!! I also can't see FB at work either, so that won't help. Anyways walking and running are my favorite, so I know how great you're feeling. :bored:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/can-i-have-unprotected-sex-98641/ Well, I just can't keep it in, so have fun. :-P

Bandedmom, unfortunately getting your band tighter is not going to make the food decisions for you. You may benefit from a very tiny fill. In the long run though, its yourself that is going to overcome what you put in your mouth. As you found out even being super tight you can still find ways of over eating. I learned the hard way too. Best of luck! This is going to be a lifelong journey, not a quick fix. What I suggest is trying out one thing at a time. So, for this month choose some healthy option that you will carry through forever. That way you don't feel too overwhelmed with all your new changes.

Hey everyone. I have a really serious question here and I hoping you can all help me out with it... I had surgery last night and I want to have a wild orgy but I hate condoms. What should I do???
