Hey you are doing way better than I did pre-band. I did lose about 7 during the 6 month phase but once I got my date it was all down hill from there. Bad, I know.

Froggi, feel better soon! :smile2:

I heard the most these off shore drillings will provide in the way of savings to the consumer is about 1.20 per barrel. Yep, but guess what's even better? This would be after twenty years. Anyone for off shore drilling still. What a disaster this whole presidency has been. Let me tell you though, it's been happening long before this Bush. It all started waaaay back in the day with the Reagan administration when Bush I took over from the ailing President. No joke. Do I believe we have been set up? Absolutely. What do millions of disenfranchised voters think about all this? That's who we need to ask and listen to. I really hate getting into all this with people though, because it is too touchy. I just really wish people would open themselves up to the truth and READ, READ and READ some more. Do your research! You will be blown away what you can and will find out. Stop living in the dark, turn on the light everyone!!

Wow Denise, that is great! I'm happy for you and your new hot bod BF. A good man is hard to find, so if he is the guy, hold onto him!!

I wish I could post just to post, but I always seem to find an ulterior motive. Every time.

Well, that explains it all. This whole topic was worthless, and a waste of my time. I'm glad a read it anyway - it just reminds me of how low some people will go.

Oh lordy! But sometimes I wish I could just pull over anywhere and do that. Just for the shock value.

Ever drive down the highway and erraneously take a look at the edge of the road? You'd see a few gleaming bottle of yellow lying around.

Kylie, I've seen around here before that if you are experiencing daily stuckness (if that's a word) that you should give your stomach a break for a day or so. The reason is, the more stuck you get the more swollen you get, then the more stuck you get, etc. Try a day of liquids and slowly go back to solids and see if that will let your swelling to go down some and then experience less stuck feeling.

Well, things have been going pretty slow for me. In fact I really should update my tickers. Come to find out my new scale under estimates by six lbs. I'm over the shock. I went back to my old scale and I count down four pounds. No way am I counting UP!! :biggrin: I normally don't fix my tickers to go up if I'm going through a little gaining spell, but this is different.

Gloucester, that has to be one of most favorite things since I've been losing weight. Maybe I'm beign shallow but I always look around to see if I'm the fattest person around. Sometimes yes, but often that answer is no!

Great Crystal I'm so glad to hear you broke through you nasty plateau!! Thanks Jaime for the 411, I'm going to try it out. So M-F are strict Sat is a little extra treat Sun is a few extra little treats. Yeah, I can do that!! LOL!!

Well, as we were all reminded last month from the very mouth of GWB, he feels our pain at the pumps. He wanted to remind us of our Stimulus packages. Obama, I will vote for you. Regardless of your running mate. One more thing - if there are any women here who are pro-choice but undecided or decided to vote for McCain, or if you are for women's rights in any way shape or form -- PLEASE do your homework. Rant over/

Is that what I felt? :cursing: Yes, they are shiny. My lil' guys like shiny things so I'm lucky they haven't noticed them!

Awww... I hope you feel better soon Froggi!

Yes!! :cursing::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Wasa, OMG!! I'm so sorry I've missed all this! Where the heck have I been? I've been so busy I haven't really gone out of my favorite sections, and now that I have a little time before I have to get ready for Father's Day stuff, I decided to come in the general forum. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well!! :cursing: You need to gain weight? Wow, I don't think I could even imagine that. I bet you're going to be so happy to finally get your PS! You're going to be so fly, girl! Keep us in touch of that. Are you going to start your own thread in the PS forums? Well, take care sister - oh, by the way, let us know how the sleeve works out for you. I really woulnd't mind trying that out myself in time if I don't feel the band is working out.

Dad (as in Father's Day!)

I got my feet pampered yesterday and now my toes are so pretty and shiny!

Sorry, there's my quirky SOH again... Ok, Chlorine bleach... You know the "rumor" that MJ bleached his skin. Heh... :cursing:

:cursing::lol: Did they resemble Michael Jackson in any way??

What a great topic, one I didn't notice before. I'm already getting this,and excuse me - I'm still well over 200 lbs. and still have half my excess weight to lose. I even found out at my Dr.'s office that my new scale was way low, so I had to go back to my old scale and buy a new battery. I decided I would use the old one and subtract four pounds rather than add up (no way!) So, I'm back in the 240's. I'll adjust all my tickers and challenges tomorrow. :cursing: Back on subject though, I think it really depends on the person. I really don't know why some people feel the need to say "don't start getting all anorexic and stuff". How stupid??? They didn't know me when I really was anorexic/bulemic. Anyway, that's a story for another day. RSG, I agree, maybe some people just feel threatened and hate to see others succeed. Which I will!!!!!
