Oh STef! I'd NEVER adjust my ticker to show a GAIN! Lol. You're so silly!You should just *assume* it's *muscle* and go on. Lol. Well, right now you are EXACTLY halfway to your goal Thats kick ass.

Join now, get in the habit of going and figure out which equippment you are comfortable on. Just do light exercise... focus more on the toning and endurance... weightloss will come later.

Stef - why the homeschooling? What was going on at school?? Glad you're getting it all figured out - my Stepmom homeschooled their kids for YEARS... it was lots of hardwork for her!

Thats awesome BG! So glad you had a great time!

Awww Beckie! YOu look great! And woohoo for the skirt!!

There is NO WAY for us to know whats going on over the internet ... you'll have to go to your doctor and have it checked out - the sooner the better. Come back and let us know!

I only use a babyspoon when eating something bad... like ice cream. This way I get bored before I eat the whole thing! Haha!!

YOu can drink beer?!?! I thought we shouldn't drink carbonation? Lol. I gave up diet coke and everything!

OMG!!! I've broken (and replaced) more toilet seats than I care to admit!! Sooooooo embarassing!! Welcome to LBT!!

Oh I love this. If I wasn't BIG and had a cute little body like some of my friends... I would do so much sin! Seriously. I love sex, but am not comfortable enough in my fat skin to be able to really enjoy myself without fearing I will injure my man! I would dress better and FEEL better. I could quit pretending that I don't like amusement parks and roller coasters, when the reality is that I just fear I won't fit in the seats or that I will break the ride! I would go out more. I would date more - now whenever a guy shows interest I feel like its a joke and they are just trying to make fun of or humiliate the 'fat girl'... like when I was back in Jr. High. I would have gone to college right out of high school instead of letting my insecurities rule my life. .. I'll probably think of more later...

Well it's ABOUT DANG TIEM!! AND YOU LOOK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT! You look totally different!

Well, I've ALWAYS had very thick, shiney hair. I think I started to notice hairloss about 3 or 4 months post-op. Well... 7 months post-op now and my hair is pretty thin and dull. I hate it! I wash a handfull of hair out every morning.. an dthen when I comb it I get another handfull. I honestly fear that I will go bald. It has nothing at all to do with protein - cause I eat an average of 100gms a day. I eat totally balanced with fruits, veggies, etc. I get plenty of water and take a multi-vitamin. Your body see weightloss as 'trauma' and you will lose hair as part of the process of your body fighting back. If I could afford a nice wig I would completely cut my hair down short short and just wear a wig daily until I reach goal and my hair grows back.

I hatehatehate that word with a passion! I grew up in a teeny tiny town of 500 people - all white. My only exposure to ANY other culture was through TV. Thank God for the Cosby show! I think if back then, I was exposed to how many African Americans are portrayed on TV today I'd believe differently than I do. I craved culture and difference. It is no surprise to my family that my little sister married a Mexican, and I only date African American men. Most don't agree with our choices, but it is what it is. Most of my brothers (i have 7 of them) are very racist. It makes me sick to my stomach. And my oldest brother is teaching hate to his three children. The oldest is 11 and was shocked to find out that I had 'gays' as friends! SHe said I would burn in Hell for accepting their 'behavior'!!! DO people REALLY feel this way?!?! It's insanity. GOD LOVES US ALL AND GIVES US FREEDOM OF CHOICE. If HE can accept us and love us, why can't we at least be TOLERANT of each other? Just my 2 cents...

Wow. Glad you got it all taken care of! I think a slip is one of my biggest fears with the band!! As for the loud mouth PITA, yeah... I'm a nurse and I've had a week filled with those! ha! Just be glad that you are getting out of there and won't have to deal with it anymore, the nurses on the other hand have it day in and day out! BE KIND TO THE NURSES! (Lol)

24 hours fitness has the Bugg on sale right NOW for $279, and the display watch for $69.95... Thats a great deal!

Ebay is a rip off for the Buggs cause they don't come with the subscription. If you pay more for one on ebay you are screwing yourself over! The subscription (which you have to have in order to USE the Bugg!) is $199... sooo, if you buy a new one, then you are basically only pay $100 for the Bugg itself.... unless you find it on sale - 24 hours fitness usually puts them on sale - just keep your eyes open and check daily. NOW - if you can find one like Mandi78 has posted, where there is STILL an ACTIVE subscription, then all you have to do is change the height/weight parameters and then renew the subscription. Just trying to help out the newbies... Don't overpay!!

DO NOT buy a used one - unless it is VERY cheap... BECAUSE in order to use it you have to buy a BodyBugg subscription with the 2 coaching sessions which I think costs $199. (correct me if I'm wrong here people) So the most cost effective way is to just buy you a new one! I think most of us here got ours from24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs Sometimes they go on sale, you just have to watch for it. I got my Bugg for $229 and free shipping, got my display watch for $69 + shipping.

Yeah... I don't like the new LBT facelift. The girl with the apple at the top is creepy and looks like she is fondeling herself...

Thats awesome Wombat! I keep thinking I need a fill... and then something happens to make me change my mind - like I get full off of 1/2 an orange, or about 3/4 apple... and then other days I can eat until the cows come home. Eh, maybe I'll go in for a little tweek...

Thats awesome!! YOu are the biggest loser!

Haha. Agreed! She's just creepy!

Yay BG! A free colon cleanse! Did you weigh yourself this morning? Ha. OK, have you ever tried that fat free ice cream? My tummy and colon HATE that stuff. I learned a long time ago: Never eat anything that says on the package "May cause laxative effect." Lol. ANYWAY, yeah, the whole vegan thing... I wasn't thinking last night and had some light miracle whip with my fake chicken... forgot it has egg whites. Duh. Luckily I didn't have any issues from it! Where is Miss Stefanie?!?! Is she on another vacation or something? I have a bad memory, but I can't recall her saying she'd be gone...
