No game

I'm going to break it down in easy terms here.... Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. So if a person is at a 30 BMI, he or she is obese. It does not matter if they are 4'9 or 5'9!! Oh and yes I think the op miss typed... It happens all the time here.

Girl, Somebody's in an alternate universe, but it's not you!

That sounds like a perfect birthday

Who me??? I'm 5'4 and started at 235..

Oh "nanaspez" had hers done by Rivas and she still comes on here! http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/53143-anyone-from-the-bay-area/page__fromsearch__1 I would send her a pm..

There is a California thread.. I will dig it up and paste it here do you can ask on that one... http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/60102-california-anyoneツ/page__fromsearch__1# I'm sure it will be fine though.. Stanford is a great hospital.

Girl all I know is my family is sitting here eating stuffed pizza and I'm eating a plain Greek yogurt with blueberries... And tomorrow I will weight the same I'm sure... I hit 171 and I stay there or go up a pound or two on a daily basis for a month now.. I'm getting a treadmill on Thursday. Maybe if I just walk all day on it I'll start losing again..

Cool, I didn't know they had a bariatric program..

Well not only is my body trying to catch up! It's trying to pack some pounds back on!!

So like you are thinking of wearing a full body suit for like six months to a year???

Yes let's stop talking about the "3 week stall" Around here and start talking about the more serious 6th month stall! I have been at the same weight for about a month....

Haha!! I guess she wasn't one of those everything in moderation types!

I just wanted you to know I wish you and your son much health and happiness. And I will check out purplestride.org. I know my friends family was trying to donate his body for this purpose. Laura

Thanks everyone! My friends family doesnt mourn so it was nice to talk here. I'm sorry to take this topic off track a bit.. But that's life sometimes we get off track, the trick is seeing it and trying to correct it as soon as possible.... I'm kicking ass with fluid today because I think my headache yesterday was partly because of little water going past my lips! I'm behind in food though because I just now had "breakfast" but after all the crap I ate yesterday I think low cal is on the menu today?? I'm probably going to have to do a shake for a snack somewhere...

I guess the simple answer would be don't date anyone that turned you down when you where fat! But really when you are dating someone part of the initial attraction is physical! So unless you ask before the first date "how do you feel about fat people?" You really can't know for sure.. So that's what dating is about right? getting to know each other? I would think after a few dates you would be able to know if this person is the kind of person I would like to get to know more on a more intimate level or no.. My husband (whom I will be with forever) met me when I was small and loved me when I was big and still loves me when I'm in between! Did I ask him if he would love me fat all those years ago? No... I didn't have to, I knew from dating him that he was a good and moral man. Not a shallow person whom I would never date long term..

I went alone! Well my mom brought me but after 20 minutes with her there, she was driving me so crazy I sent her to my house to "take care" of my children along with my husband! I liked being alone and they (the staff) took care of my bag while I was in surgery although they said they are not responsible for electronics.. My husband and daughter visited a bit later that evening but I was mostly out of it (yeah drugs) I am a person that likes having alone time so it was good for me. After I came home I sent my mom home too (she lives 3 hours away) I was able to care for myself and preferred it that way. Now I've read some people can't even pull up their pants or wipe themselves after going to the bathroom? But I think that's probably an extreme case. I would say I had my shopping done and everything set up for myself at home so that made it easier. Oh for a bra I did a comfy front closure cami type bra.

Bad day yesterday.. My friend past away.. I did not track my food all day and spent the whole day with a bad headache. I made pretty bad food choices yesterday. I ate way to much peanut butter last night. It's 10:21 am right now and I've only had coffee and mio water.. I know I'm up a couple of pounds I can just feel it! It's like a mind trick I can not get out of the 170's. I'm being my own worst enemy on this. I need to exercise, I will be getting my treadmill Thursday so I will force myself to ride my recumbent bike today.

Premier protein shake pre made from Costco or SAMs club, they sell them at Safeway now and if you just wanted to try them I would start there but they are cheaper for bigger quantities at at Costco or SAMs. They taste good are filling and have 30 grams of protein.

Well I've been stuck at the same weight for so long I've lost count! Welcome to the sixth month people Some days I am at a place of peace with my weight loss so far, some days (like today) I am not!
